PEOPLES PARTY STATE LEAGUE.
An Organization Effected 1t tho Mime.

An Orgsnisstion Effected at the Mime.
spolis Meeting.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 0.-The Populists,
who gathered from all parts Of the state
to the number Of almost 200, for the pur-
pose Of forming permanent state league,
were in session al day at Century Hall,
and succeeded in drafting and adopting =
constitution and slecting officers.
The first business was the appointment
Of committee to draft constitution,
after which adjournment was taken.
At the opening of the afternoon session
the committee on constitution presented
its report in full, which was acted upon
section by section. The first section max
ing the name THE Peoples Party State
League" was adopted after some discus
sion, the understanding being that the
old organization should merge into the
new one.
j. M. Bowler was elected president,
Swan Nelson vice president, and L. M.
Ayers secretary.
Resolutions were passed to the effect
that the present senatorial contest was
not Populist affair; that the league was
opposed to any Republican because they
all represented the money power, and that
the Populist members of the legislature
should put up some good Peoples party
man and vote for him.
At the evening session E. w. Bonnum
of Ramsey was elected treasurer and the
vote for representatives on the executive
committee resulted as follows:
First district, T. ]. Mingham; second
district, L. c. Long; Third district, @. N.
Perkins; Fourth district, S. w. Powell;
Fifth district, DR.. E. F. Clark; Sixth dis
trict, Daniel Cochran; Seventh district, E.

abolish the Irvine plant at Saltwater and
leave the producers at the mercy of the
ring.
That we demand of the legislature that
it defeat any such action, and pass such
laws as will increase the output of Irvine
from the state factory.
That we deplore the action of the SUI
preme court of this state in setting aside
the statute passed by the last legislature,
providing for the erection of the state ele-
vator at Duluth, on the ground of incom-
potency.
That we are uncquivocally opposed to
the adoption of what is known as the
township system" for the common
schools of Minnesota.
The resolutions further demanded that
the legislature take action looking to the
determination of the Russian thistle; that
all official salaries be reduced; that the
pine land investigation should continue;
that the government should issue all
money and that the sale of bonds should
cease; that the present system of grain in
cages should be taxable in the counties
where recorded, and that the amount of
mortgages should be deducted from the
assessed value of property covered.

A COMPROMISE.

Senator Jones Has a Currency Bill That
Will Suit All Interested.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The proba.
bilities are that the beginning OF the
week will see the introduction of still
another currency bill in the senate.
Senator Jones of Arkansas. who at the
critical stage Of the tariff legislation
took the matter in hand and harmon
lied the differant elements SO as to
bring definite results out of a decidedly
chaotic condition, is the author of the
new bill and he comes to the front this
time as a COMPROMISED and harmonizer.
There has been objections made to the
bills prepared by Senators Vest and
Mcpherson on the ground in the case
of the Vest bill that it
Leans Too Much Towards Silver,
and in the ccse of the Mcpherson bill
that is too exclusively in the interest of
bonds. Senator Jones realizes that
silver and bonds are the two antagoniz.
ing elements IN this question and his
effort has been to prepare measure
which will perhaps not be all that the
friends of either cause would naturally
demand, but will in the end secure the
support of both elements. He has
been in consultation with many of
the leaders of both these contending
elements in the senate, and it is under
stood that his bill, as outlined to them,
has received very favorable endorse
ment from the representatives from
All tho Conflicting Interests.
It is also understood that the terms
of the bill are not unfamiliar to leaders
in the house. Furthermore it is prob.
able that it has been brought to the at
tention Of the proper authorities in the
executive branch Of the government
The bill will first provide for the il.
suance Of 213 per cent bonds to the
amount Of $500, 0oo, 900 which are to b
paid in gold and are to be used both
for tho purpose Of meeting the current
expenses Of the government and the
redemption Of United States and treas.
ury notes The bill will also provide
for the issue Of bank notes to take the
place Of the treasury notes in such q
way a. not to produce q contraction Of
the currency. Another provision is
that the national banks shall be a.
lowed to
Issue Up to Their Par Value
and the tax on national bank circula-
ton is fixed at one.quarter Of per
cent. In the interest of silver the bill
provides for it's unlimited coinage un-
der the condition that the holder of
silver bullion may take it to the mint
and have it coined into silver dollars,
the government retaining seignior-
age, the difference between the coinage
value of the bullion and it's market
value on the day that the bullion is
taken to the minis. 1t also provides
for the withdrawal from circulation of
all greenbacks, treasury notes and
national bank notes below $40, and the
substitution of silver certificates in
less than $40, to be payable in silver.
The bill will contain provisions pro-
viding against either undue initiation
or contraction.

State Will LOSE Most Of 1t, ~ Bondsmen
Are Not Worth Much-suit Begun ON
the Bonds.
REDFIELD, S. D., Jan. l0.-Probabiy
tho most startling failure that has ever
occurred in South Dakota or the North
west was revealed when word
was received from William Walter
Taylor, the outgoing state treasurer
and president of the First National
bank and Northwestern Mortgage
Trust company of this city. that he
could not appear to make his settle
ment at Pierre with his successor
Treasurer.elect Phillips of Deadwood.
The news and closing of his bank here
came like thunderclap from clear
sky, because both Taylor and the finan-
cial institutions with which he was
connected
Were Regarded a. Firm and Reliable
beyond question. The news from
Pierre demonstrates that no money Is
held there to the credit of the state
treasurer, and none is held in the bank
here. 1t is estimated that about $780,
600 is missing with Taylor. Aside
from the financial loss the action OF
Taylor is felt terribly by all who have
known and done business with him
and the financial enterprises with
which he has been connected in years
past. He and his enterprises here have
handled many thousands OF Eastern
capital and his bank here has always
been regarded as one of the firm, safe
institutions in the state

But He Falls to Allude to ''MoStly
Outgo and Little Income"

Mr.. NJ. F. Perry, secretary of the Sc
attic Grain and Stock Exchange" has
written a letter to the Post-Tntelligencer.
taking exception to some of the statements
contained in an article published yester-
day about his company. Mr.. Perry says
that the article was inconsistent with an
editorial published in the same issue UNI
der the head ''The Supply Of Wheat"
which. Mr.. Perry says, predicts good
prices 10 the farmer" The last paragraph
of the editorial is as follows:
Enough is known. however, of the crop
abroad. and of the prospects of still fur
Their increase. to serve as a warning to
the farmers of Washington not to rely
upon IL except for home consumption.
As staple IL will do we'll TO keep GER
tain acreage. but diversified farming Will
he the money making method in the flu
ture."
Mr.. Perry also objects 10 "the imputa-
ton that | am conducting a business not
legitimate" lie fails. however. to make
any reference to the letter which was
written by him to the firm OF II. W.
Clark & Co. of Chcago-upon which let
ter the local article in the Post-Intelli
gencer was hased-in which Mr.. Perry
makes the significant statement: The
firm We are dealing with now we have
no fault to find with. though we haven't
much confidence in their financial
strength. Perhaps this should cut no fig
ure with us. as it is mostly 'outgo' with
our customers. ana but little income
Mr.. Perry goes on to argue that "specu-
lation in grain is as legitimate as specula-
ton in anything" but MIR. Perry does not
say anything about the 'outgo' with our
customers and but little income -

handling Of which the present service is
entirely inadequate.
1.-THE reason for the introduction of that
ordinance Is simply this said Mr. Alex
ander. THE pipes now in use were put
in under the Waring plan, which provided
for a double system-one pipe for sewage
and one for surface water No catch ba-
sins were allowed and it was supposed
that the street cutters would take care
of the surface water. but that idea was
preposterous, as any one can see who will
notice the torrents OF water that pour
DOWN Columbia street after heavy rain
storm. The system was found to be en-
tsrely inadequate, but has never been
changed. although notice has been served
on the city that damage suits will be
brought If relief is not given to property
owners whose cellars and Easements are
flooded every winter by overlooking sew
age. Directly after the fire the city coun-
ell bought lS.0oa feet of inch sewer pipe.
and no larger sizes were then put in.
After the Williams plan OF sewers was
adopted the S inch pipes on these streets
were allowed 10 remain. On Columbia
street the water comes down for two
blocks on 10 16 per cent, grade. then
fiattens out to 2 per cent. grade in the
same size pipe. Any one can see what
that means-the water foods back and
goes into private sewers. 1t will take a Is
inch pipe TO carry off that water. What
We want 10 do is simply to continue
cutoff sewer, and the plan calls for a re-
lief sewer on Fifth from Terrace TO Main
streets, instead of taking il down to the
main sewer on Front street. There is no
private sewer scheme about it. II Is, as
! said for the purpose OF putting in a pipe
that will take care of The. sewage and
surface water, and TO protect the city
from damage suits"
