LAND.

ID The true policy demands that the
National and State legislation shall
be such as viii ultimately enable every
prudent and industrious citizen to Sc
cure a home, and therefore the land
should not be mOnopolized for specula-
tive purposes.
"All lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess Of their
actual needs, should by lawful means
be reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only, and pri-
vate land monopoly as well as alien
ownership should be prohibited.
(2.) We condemn the frauds by which
the land grants to the Pacific Railroad
companies have, through connivance
Of the Interior Department, robbed
multitudes of actual bOnafide settlers
of their homes and miners of their
claims and we demand legislation by
Congress which will enforce the ex-
emption of mineral land from such
grants after, as well as before patent.
(3)We demand that bona fide settlers
home, and Re provided for in tie Ma
tionaI homestead law. and that no cN-
Ception be made in the case Of Indian
reservations when opened for settle
ment, and that all lands not now
patented come under this demand.
DIRECT LEGISLATION.
(4.) We favor a system of direct legis-
lation through the initiative and refer
erdum under proper constitutional
safe guards.
GENERAL PROPOSITIONS.
CD We demand the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President and United
States Senator'S by direct.yote Of the
people.
~ We tender to the patriotic people
of Cuba our deepest sympathy in their
heroic struggle for political freedom
and independence, and we believe the
time has come when the United States,
the great Republic of the world, should
recognize that Cuba is and of right
ought 10 he a free and independent
State.
81 We favor home rule in the Terri
tories and the District of Columbia,
and the early admission of Territories
as States.
(4DAn public salaries should be made
to correspond to the price of labor and
its products.
f5.) In times of great Industrial de-
pFeSSlOn. ldle IaDOT SnOuld De employ
ed on public works as far rs practi-
cable.
(6) The arbitrary course of the courts
in assuming to imprison citizens for
indirect contempt and ruling by
injunction. should be prevented by
proper legislation.
ID We favor. just pensions for our
disabled Union soldiers.
Isl Believing that the election fran
chise and untrammeled ballot are es-
sential to a government of, for, and
by the people, the Peoples party con
dennis the wholesale system of dis
franchisement adopted in some States
as un-repubIican and un-democratic,
and we declare it 10 be the duty of the
several State legislatures to take such
action as will secure a full, free and
fair ballot and an honest count.

SERIOUS CUTTING.
Result of an Excursion Down the
River.


River.
The steamer George Leary, with a party
of colored excursionists on board, was the
scene of a cutting affair last night, which
may possibly prove fatal. There was a
large party on the boat when the start was
made from Glymont, and, usual many
of them were under the influence of liquor
Soon after the start on the homeward
journey was made two of the young men,
Malchoir Williams and Harry Talbert, had
some words, which resulted in blows, and
finally Williams drew his penknife and
stabbed Talbert in the left side of the
stomach.
The injured man was cared for as well
as possible, and Williams was locked up
Icy the officers on the boat and detained
until the steamer reached the wharf here
Then he was turned over to Policeman
Evans, who locked him up at the fourth
police station.
Williams said that he and Talbert had
been on bad terms for more than a year,
but for what reason he did not know. Tai
bert, he said had been drinking last night.
And" he said, "he called me a - -.
I won't take that off anybody, and SO we
clinched.'
He said that when he saw Talbert try to
get his knife, he (Willams) pulled out his
knife and cut him.
At the Emergency Hospital it was found
that Talbert was seriously wounded, al
though he had not lost consciousness. He
rested well during the night, but appeared
no better today.
Williams was taken to the Police Court
today, and the case was continued to
await the result Of Talberts injuries.

THE PLASTER FELL.
One Man Injured and Great Scare Mt
the Government Printing Office.

One Man Injured und Il Great Scare mt
the Government Printing Office.
No little excitement occurred among the
many employees Of the government printing
Office about II o'clock this morning, when,
without werning a loud crash was heard,
followed Immediately by the appearance of
a cloud Of dust. A report, which quickly
spread throughout the office, that one and
perhaps two men had been badly injured
did not tend to allay the general feeling of
trep!dation. An investigation, however,
showed that the noise and dust resulted
from a fail of plaster, one man only sus-
tanning slight injuries therefrom.
The accident happened in a large toilet
and wash room on the second floor of the
old structure, the windows facing North
Capitol street. The room is directly to the
north of the entrance stairway, and ad-
joins a spacious composing room. 1t is
claimed that the toilet room was seldom
used of late, because other accommodations
with modern improvements have been pro-
Vided, the men merely making use of the
wash basins In the old room. However,
John S. Burnside, printer, Of Ga l street
northeast was caught sQuarely under a
mass of plaster about seven feet by three
in dimensions. Another occupant of the
room escaped injury by a narrow margin.
Burnside was picked up from the debris
In dazed condition, and quickly as
possible taken to the Sibley Memorial Hos
pital. An examination by the surgeons
several bruises, none of which are of a Sc
rous nature. The superintendent Of the
building was on the spot soon after the
fall and at once put a force Of men to
entrance to the room was then closed, with
planks nailed across the doorway, and
within short time the customary calm
prevailed throughout the building.

MAY BE DENIED SEATS,
4 Possibility That is Disturbing the

A suggestion that considerably disturbed

The District has been granted representa-
ton in democratic national conventions in
the past through courtesy only. 1t was
never. they say, recognized in such way
until 1854, and it was plainly declared then
that the compliment was not extended be-
cause of any claim that it was just or
right. 1t was, they assert, regarded in an
entirely different light from the territories

condition of formation which are one day
destined TO take their places in the family
OF states, and thus secure i voice in the
selection of President
1t was, they say, distinctly understood
that the District OF Columbia could never
reach this impol lance, and Messrs. William
the first delegates admitted to democratic
on this basis.
At the last national convention the only
contests before it We're those from the ter
ritorieS and the District. Some prominent
democrats, who have been watching the
premonitory signs of another fight from
this section, free in their expressions
that it is useless for the convention to
waste time trying to settle domestic strife
among District democrats.
