A. P. A. COUNCIL MEETS.
Question of Making the Order World Wide

Question of Making the Order World Wide
to be Considered.
MILWAUKEE, May 6.-The seventh an
nual session of the supreme council of
the American protective association be-
gan today at Liberty hall The delegates
number in the vicinity of 400 The order
is now semi political. Some of its mem
bers favor coalition with any of
the existing political parties, which
Will come out openly and advocate the
principles of the A. P. A.
Another faction would have a separate
political party on a strictly A P. A, plat
form. Still another wing of the associa-
ton favors publicity and would do away
with all secret work. It is also limited
that the free silver question may cut
figure during the session.
Probably the most important step to be
taken by the association will be the
adoption Of an international constitution
and declaration of principles and
the eXtention of the order to all
parts of the world, creating
thereby what will be known as the su-
preme council of the world. This ques-
tion has been under consideration for
some time and the report of special
committee of ten appointed a year ago
will be submitted.
The opening session was called to or
der with some $50 of the 400 or 450 del
egates present, the others being expect
ed to arrive during the day and evening.
The emblem of the order, gold
eagle mounted with small
American flag and the ''little red
school house" suspended is becoming
numerous on the streets. The mem ber-
ship in Wisconsin is placed at 5000.

WORSE THAN CIVIL WAR.

Judge Railey Says More Distress is Caused
by Stock Gambling than War.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 8-Judge
Bailey today sentenced Embezzler Harry
b. McMaster to two years in state prison
at Waupin, with hard labor. In his
charge he used forcible language He
declared that the only way to suppress
such cases of embezzlement was to strike
at the root of public gambling.
The Chicago Board of Trade, he be-.
lieved, had caused more distress, ruined
more men and wrecked more families
than civil war, yet it was indorsed by the
public and when such men as Senator
Washburn raised his voice against it he
was thrown out of office.

Beat Gold Bugs.
CHICAGO, May 9.-A special to the
Record from indianapolis. Ind, says:
The Populists in Indiana, acting under
instructions from Chairman Taubeneck
of the national committee, are now
maneuvering for Il union with the free
silver wing of the Democratic party
One of the Populist leaders said that a
union of the Populists with the free
silver men in both the old parties is in
evitable.
"We think we see the breaking up of
the old political parties" said he. THE
contest next year will be between the
gold men on one side and the silver men
on the other. The contest will be one in
which the south and west will be arrayed
against the east. The battle ground will
be in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Mime
sofa. If the south and west stand to-
gether for free silver they will win"
"Do the Populists stand ready to unite
with the Democrats in a silver party?"
1--WE certainly do. If the party should
win it would be victory for the Popu-
lists. 1t is immaterial under what name
we win. The free coinage of silver is
the central doctrine of the Populists, and
we are ready to make any sort of a union
il we can accomplish our object"
The Populist state committee has
ceased the work of organizing POpulist
clubs throughout the state. The leaders
have been instructed to do nothing but
agitate. The leaders have suggested
that free coinage clubs be organized and
that mem bers of both the old parties be
invited to become members of the clubs.
The newspaper printed here as the
organ of the party has undertaken to
circulate silver literature among the
farmers of the state.
