abandon other questions in order 10
meet this oneR Such talk is the
purest nonsense.
In the issue Of the Watchmsn of
January Is, pursuing the same sub
ject, We find the following remark
able statement:
We have demanded for years full and
free discussion Of these financial questions
before the people, in order that they might
vote inbelligently upon this important sub
jsot' and now. when the opportunity is at
last secured, some who claim TO be Of our
own people are seeking to sidetraok the
contest.
What! seeking to sidetrsck the
contest by adhering to the platform
of the party! What is this Peoples
party, and whence its origin? Sew
eral years ago the farmers Alliance,
the Wheel, and other organizations
Of farmers began the systematic in
vestigstion and discussion of eco
nomic questions. These several or
gsnizstions continued to grow and
extend their jurisdiction until 1889,
when they were consolidated at st.
Louis under the name of ''the Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Unlon."
The principles which had been
adopted by these several orgsniza-
tions there united, were then en-
bodied in what was afterwards known
as the st. Louis demands. Every
Farmers Alliance throughout the
country has lndorsed those demands.
They have been ratified by every
State Alliance and by every session
of the national council from that day
to this. They were also ratified by
the great industrial conference held
in st. Louis, February %, 1892. The
Peoples party is the direct growth
of the farmers Alliance. The con-
vention that gave it birth adopted
the ST. Louis demands as its plat
form, and those demands were again
fiuslly ratified with unbounded en-
thusissm at Omaha July 5, 1892,
when the first national ticket was
put in the field, and yet in the face
of all this the National Wstchman
charges those who refuse to abandon
that declaration of principles and be
switched of upon the single issue of
finance with seeking to sidetrsck the
Peoples party. The Wstchmsn will
find its efforts to carry the party over
to the silver league in the interest of
a few silver barons to be a waste of
time and energy. The scheme can
not succeed, and the next national
convention, will, we spprehend, en-
deavor to find a national committee
that will confne itself to the duties
for which 1t was elected.

WE WANT NO sIDETRACKs.

We called attention some time ago
to the effort to turn the Peoples
party over to the silver league in
order to conduct the campaign of
1896 upon the single issue Of finance.
A number of members of the national
committee are engaged in this move.
ment. The conference called at st.
Louis on the 28th and 29th of De-
cember was designed to switch the
party off in this direction, and a
great effort was made by few mem
bers Of the committee to do this. The
sentiment Of the conference was so
unanimously against the scheme,
however, and so many members of
the committee itself were opposed to
it that it's consummation at that time
was defeated. Hoping that this
would be the end of the matter, we
refrsined from any adverse comment
relative to the work behind scenes at
the conference. 1t appears, however,
from certain unmistakRble lndics-
tions that, instead of abandoning the
scheme, there is a determination to
pursue it in defiance of the senti-
ment OF the conference and the un-
questionable sentiment of the party
throughout the country. NotWith-
standing the conference compelled
the Endorsement of the Omaha plat
form in its entirety in the address
sent out to the people, there is good
reason to believe that the executive
committee does not feel bound to
abide by that address. In making
this statement it is proper that we
should also state our reasons for it.
The headquarters Of the committee
are located at Washington. The
National Wstchmsn has undoubtedly
been in accord with the COMMITTEES in
matters of policy. For some time it
has been advocating the single issue
platform. Prior to the st. Louis
conference in presenting its views
upon the subject it intimsted that
the conference would probably sus-
tain the views of the executive com.
mittee and pledged itself in advance
to support such policy as the confer
enoe might adopt. Since the action
of the conference has been made
known, however, it appears to be
very unsatisfactory to the Watch
man, and instead of fulfilling its
pledge, it deprecates the action of
the conference, designstes its mem
bers as cranks and Visionsries, and
goes on as before advocating its sim
gle.issue platform for 1896. It is
hardly probable that the Wstchmsn
would pursue this course unless the
executive committee stood behind it.
At least the committee has said moth
ing since the conference to indicate
that it has changed its purpose.
We desire at this time to call at
tention to some OF the statements of
the Watchmsn that tend to bear out
--l-s L IL
The advocate., 1895-01-23
factory results of the conference, il

The Rarbled interview Of Chairman Tau
beneok was made the excuse for an on
SlSusht upon him and the intentions of the
conference, which, however unreasonable,
spread rapidly among the people.
Whether the interview referred to
was gsrbleT or not, we have no
means Of knowing. It is true that
newspaper interviews constitute q
very unsafe basis of criticism; but in
the present case we would be more
inclined to accept the statement that
the one in question was gsrbled, had
not Mr.. Tsubeneck and other mem
bers Of the committee sought to have
the very sentiments Of that inter-
view embodied IN the address to be
sent out from st. Louis. The address
finally agreed upon was q compro-
mise between the executive commit
tee and a committee appointed by
the conference, of which Henry D.
Lloyd, of Chicago, was chairman.
The effort to abandon everything in
the Omaha platform was so persist
ent by a little handful of political
schemers that it was only defeated
by the expressed determination of
the conference and members of the
national committee not favorable to
the scheme, to send out another ad-
dress if the executive committee
should send out the one it had de.
termined upon. These facts not
made public at the time should no
longer be withheld from the people.
The Watchmsn, in the same article
from which we have quoted, further
says:
The socialists and world-sRveEs protested
against any change in the platform, not,
however, with a view Of preserving il IN its
entirety, 80 much as TO tack on TO il their
own impraotioable and visionary ideas.
This is not only an unjust but
an absolutely groundless charge No
member of the conference thought
of tscking anything on to the plat
form. The position taken by all
present except the few schemers be-
fore referred to was that neither the
committee nor the conference had
any business to meddle with the plat
form. The Watchman continues:
Those who fear a one-plsnk platform
would do well to look over the present and
the immediate past. They would learn
that the contest for the past tWO years has
been wagsd on the single plank Of fnan"
cial reform. They would fnd that even
now, in che face of the ST. Louis meeting,
the fght is being continued on the same
lines. More than this, they will find that
free coinage Of silver is and has been the
leading feature Of Shis contention.
Look over the present and the inn
mediate past and see if the contest
has been upon the single issue of
financial reform. What is the mean
ing of the strikes that have taken
place upon the railroads throughout
the countryG What is the meaning
of the almost universal protest
against the extortion of trsnsports-
tion companies in every part Of the

BIRMlNGHAM'S VISITORS
Are Highly Pleased With the South and Are Very Much interested in This
 9is!rst

Three of the most prominent manufac- turers of Connecticut have been in BIT mingham the past two days looking over the city and immediate vicinity They are A. w. c. Williams, treasurer and general manager of the Capewel Horse Shoe Nail company of Hartford, Ct.; Judge E. c. Lewis, president, and J. C.. Capewell viee-president and superin- tendent of the same company. They have factories located in Hartford, Ct. and London, Eng, and branch offices in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St Louis and Detroit.
 A State Herald reporter met MT. Will Hams and Judge Lewis in the Morris ho- tel yesterday and had quite lengthy talk with them about Birmingham and the south generally. They were very much interested in this district and asked a great many questions about the popula- tion, white and black, the mineral and agricultural products and such other particulars as would naturally interest a visitor from distance.
 MT. Williams said his company had an exhibit at the Atlanta exposition and that they had been looking after it for same.
 While south,' said MT. Williams, we decided to come to Birmingham and see for ourselves what was here. We have heard great deal of this city and of its wonderful growth, but to our surprise when we got here we found splendid city, built in the most modern style and far ahead of many more pretentious cities of longer growth. The handsome busi- ness buildings, the uniform and we'll paved streets and the general excellent appearance of Birmingham would do credit to city of double its population.
 This morning." continued he, i've took ride around the Highlands and were greatly impressed with the beautiful res idence sites and the handsome houses we saw there. We have been around con- siderably since coming here and can truly say that Birmingham is great town"
 Judge Lewis said he was in Birming- ham in 1883, when the present site of the Morris hotel was vacant and but few buildings had been erected in that block. The great change that had taken place since that time surprised him very much
 The other two gentlemen had never been to Birmingham before.
 They leave this morning for Chatta- nooga and from there will go to Atlanta and in few days will return east

Sunday afternoon at the association rooms a | o'clock Mr. F. B. Jacobs, who has been leading the singing at the First Baptist church during the past two weeks, will talk to the men. MT. Jacobs Is one of the best gospel singers in this country. He will also sing at this meet ing. At recent meeting of the associa- ton in Chicago MT. Moody made an ap- peal for funds for the distribution of Christian litera ture among the prisoners in the jaifs all over the country. He said there were 75o,OOO prisoners in the United States who belonged to the criminal classes. There are 2500 jails in the United States, Canada and Mexico, and MT. Moody said 1t was his purpose, through the colportage agency recently estab- lished to put the word of life in the hands of all the inmates of these jails within the next year. He said he believed these men might be reclaimed by the grace of God and he told several stories of men formerly prisoners who have become hon. est men and are living Christian lives. MT. Jacobs will tell something of this work of MT. Moody's and ask for a col lection to put the books in the prisons in this section. All men are invited.

SIOUX INDIAN CHIEF
Yeowrobe in the City En Route to Dakota
 His Mind Impaired.
11-16-10t

Yellowrobe, a Sioux Indian chief, was in the city yesterday morning for short time. He was accompanied by Raymond Smith, half-breed Indian, formerly of the Wild West show. The red men were en route to South Dakota, where Yellow robe will be placed under the care of the government agency. Yellowrobe, 1t will be remembered was connected with the Indian village at the exposition. One day recently he got on the war path and made vicious assault on an interpreter. A wild Indian could not be permitted to wander around the Midway even as a western curiosity, so Yellowrobe was locked up in the Atlanta city prison. It it said that his mind is affected by his i'll health. He didn't scalp any one yes- terday. but on the contrary conducted himself as orderly as the most peaceable citizen. His guard, Raymond Smith, however, says that he has to keep close watch on Yellowrobe lest he do damage during one of his mental attacks Yel- lowrobe has a son in the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa, who is considered quite an orator.
 Yellowrobe and Smith left at noon over the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir- mingham road.
