CLUB ORGANIZATION.
Plan as Outlined and Adopted by {
Recent st. Louis Convention.

Plan as Outlined and Adopted by the
Recent st. Louis Convention.
Last week large share of our spec
tally prepared reports of the st. Louis
conference was crowded out at the mo-
ment of going to press, and some i'm
portant features were omitted, much to
our chagrin. The following important
resolution on organization was adopt.
ed by the committee. We suggest to
all reform papers to reproduce this
resolution in their columns and keep
standing some weeks or months:
Resolved, That while we do not at
tempt TO dictate to any state as to the
plan of organization it shall adopt, we
renew the recommendation OF the ma
tional committee in favor of the organ
iZation of the Industrial Legion in
every precinct in the land; and further
recommend that no dues shall be exact
ed, only from legions that operate the
rebate plan, and that in all cases
where members are able they be urged
to send 10 cents per annum to head
quarters; that all clubs or other orders
that wish to change into legions shall
send 20 cents for supplies, and that or
iginal lcgions shall send so cents, but
that no legion shall be denied a charter
when it is unable to pay for it, and that
these organizations shall be called Peo-
pies Party Clubs, Peoples Party Leg
ions or Industrial Legions, in order to
suit the conditions in each state, and
that rule Is of the instructions of the
Industrial Legion be dropped, and that
all Peoples party clubs or legions shall
report to the same headquarters, in
order to avoid confusion and to perfect
a systematic organization"
The above was unanimously adopted
by the national committee, and Will be
sent broadcast through the country as
the authorized method of organization.
The committee on literature made
the following report:
Whereas, there is an important de-
mand for cheap and reliable literature
with which we can reach the people.
so that the people can be properly ed
ucated upon the principles of our plat
form; therefore, your committee would
recommend that the chairman and the
secretary of our national committee
establish and publish from headquar-
tiers, at Washington, ID. c., monthly
serial, and furnish the same to our
committee and people at the very low
est possible price, and furnish such
other literature to our people as is re-
liable and in line with our platform
all to emanate from the bureau at
Washington. "-NOnconformist.

An Earthquake in California.


san Francisco diSpatch.-The ap-
pointment of Nose Gunst, the we'll
known sporting man, as police COM
missioner of San Francisco, the recent
refusal of Acting United States District
Attorney knight to issue a warrant for
the arrest of c. =. Huntington for vio-
lation of the interstate commerce law
and the issuing of pass to Frank H.
stone politician, under the glaring
frauds of the recent election, caused
Mayor Sutro to issue a call for a mass
meeting OF citizens to take action in the
matter.
The meeting was held last night in
Metropolitan Hall, which was crowded
by representative citizens. 1t is estim
ated that 10000 people were turned
away, being unable to gain admission.
Inc meeting was very businesslike.
Speeches were made by well-known
men and score Of resolutions were
adopted appropriate to the occasion.
These resolutions denounce c.. P.
Huntington, as self-confessed briber:
accuse him of taking $4,000. 600 from
English stockholders in Central Pacific
ana solemn protest was entered
against the passage of the funding bill
The speaker of the house is appealed
to to protect the people of California
Dy refusing to give a special order
for a day TO the Central Pacific Rail-
way Company, and each individual
member of congress is APPEALED to to
not overlook the 100000 protests
against this bill fled by the inhabi-
tants of the Pacific coast.
The resolutions also demand that the
legal authorities of the United States
In this judicial district shall issue n
warrant for the arrest of Huntington
The President is appealed to to see that
justice is done and that he demand
that Messrs. knight and Peacock do
their full duty under the law. or thai
they he removed from the Office they
are disgracing and degrading.
Other resolutions denounce ex-Gov
Markham as the tool of the Southern
Pacific Railroad and the appointment
OF Nose Gunst as police commissioners
is characterized as burning shame
and disgrace to the respectable peo,
pie of the community. 1t was resolved
that a committee of three be appointed
to wait upon Gunst and request him
to resign his Office of police commits
sioner: also. that a committee act with
other organizations of like character
in securing the reforms so earnestly
desired.

government in issuing greenbacks in
the last thirty years. 1t is not at all
surprising that banks are taking ad-
vantage of a friend in the presidential
chair, to secure an act of congress re-
firing greenbacks. But is it not strange
that the people are not aroused at the
infamy of the proposition? What is the
matter with them? Are they stone
blind from party prejudice? Are they
luscious of the power of the ballot and
indignation meetings? If the people
would assemble at their various county
seats and declare in no uncertain tones
against the measure their mandate
would be obeyed.
We presume, however, that the rea-
son of this silence is because the mass
es of the old parties are yet ignorant
on the money question and the Popul-
lists are giving the money power more
rope so it will break it's neck.-Mis-

ORIGIN OF NAVAL TITLES.

borrowed Military Terms From tho
Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese.
In the early days the rank of ad-
miral was unknown; the chief officer
of a squadron was called a constable
Of justice. The term admiral as now
used is derived from the Arabic
''amir" or '.emir," commander Gas
in "Amir-al-Bahr," commander of the
! sea). The early English form was
''amiral," and is still preserved as
such by the French. The Spanish
and Portuguese forms are ''almirante."
the Italian "ammiraglio. The titla
captain is not naval but military
one. says the Brooklyn Citizen. I'm
der the old organization the real cap
tain of ship was a master, but mil
itary officer was placed on board,
though he knew nothing about nauti-
cal affairs. As the captain became
bigger and bigger the master became
smaller and smaller until, at the pros
ent day, he fills subordinate posi-
ton, which IS gradually becoming OBJ
| solete, being replaced by an officer
under the title of navigating liou-
tenant.
Commodore comes from the Spanish
commentator" The title lieuten-
ant, borrowed directly from the
French, is more modern, and is meant
as placeholder, or one who took the
place OF the captain when absent.
Sub-lieutenant is still more modern,
and at the same time a misnomer, rs
he never was a sub-lieutenant, but
merely a mate or one who assisted.
In former days we had no cadets, but
volunteers. However, with the grad
ual advance OF politeness, the more
seemly term of cadets was borrowed
from the French, and adopted as the
title of the young gentlemen in our
navy.
In place of paymasters, the ships of
old had pursers, who looked after the
provisions. The naval purser did
more. He had charge of the stores
of the ship and the money chest.
Surgeons and surgeons mates fulfilled
the duties of the doctors. Chaplains
are of modern introduction. Naval
instructors and schoolmasters ruled in
their stead. The term mate was a
rather universal one and applied to
all branches.

Now that Honest John Sherm IN has
taken hold of the thorny problem and
and kindly consented to save the coun-
introduced financial bill of his own.
try, it will probably be in order to
breathe freely. Sherman has proved
such a success heretofore as the finan-
cial guardian of the people, and so
many blessings have flown from his
marvellous performances in the world
of finance, it is not too much to pre-
dict that his new bill will either cure
or kill us outright. OF course no
scheme could be expected from the
lean, spare Cassius'' of Ohio that did
not provide for a bond issue, as the
objective point of his whole existence
seems to be to get more bonds and
bigger ones. His idea of supreme bliss
seems to be a country plastered over
two feet thick with Understanding
mortgages with himself and friends as
the manipulators of the coupons at
tached thereto. A fruitful crop has
been reaped by Sherman & Co. as the
result of this policy and it would be
unreasonable to expect him this late in
life to relinquish his hold on so good
thing. Should your Uncle John ever
get to heaven the first proposition he
would make to St Peter would be to
lay bonded mortgage on the pearely
streets and adjacent angels and give
him the sole right of foreclosure

by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed SO
far to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu-
lar natter, great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery !" were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
ard most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed TO bene-
fit, or had only seemed TO benefit little for
short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
