Why the Party should lie Supported.
WASHINGTON, sept. "A long adj
dress and appeal for funds was issued
from the pOpulist headquarters to-day.
In opening it declares that 1t was the
fl st party to demand laws against the
encrOachments of monppolies and
claims credit for the revolt of the
masses of the democratic party. VIII Gu
resulted in the turning down of the
Cleveland administration and its Brit
ish financ al pol cy and the nomination
of William J. Bryan on platform de-
handing financial independence fur
thu Unite States" 1t continues:
The mission OF the party is to restore the
government to the people The Teople's party
has nominated AIR. Bryan for president and
Mr.. Watson for vice president, which is not
only the true cooperative ticket for the silver
voters Of all parties to unite upon but which
is also the best silver ticket in the field. Our
friends must not abate one jot or little of their
interest and efforts to advance the princi; les
Of the peoples party simply because an
other party has been forced TO adopt
nearly all Of our principles Had 1t not been

parties would this year have been running q

An Illinois Court ravely Decides That Il
IL No Breach of the Peace.
MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, Sept. 9-The
appellate court has decided that plOw-
ing corn on SUNDAY in sight of church,
gOers does not in itself constitute a
disturbance of the peace. In constru-
ing section 26l, winch relates to dis
tur' ing the peac- by labor on Sunday,
under which Mr. Foil. a Seventh Day
Adventist, was arrested, the court
holds that this section does not
prohibit work or Amusement on
Sunday. but prohibits only such con-
duct as disturbs the peace and good
order of society. The defendant being
a Seventh Day Adventist, observed Sat
urday as the Sabbath and plowed corn
on Sunday, and was arrested and con-
viction resulted. The case was ap-
pealed to the appellate court with the
above result.

JONES' BIG MAJORITY.

Elected Governor of Arkansas by About
10000 Over the Combined Opposition.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept 9.-The
democracy of Arkansas Monday
achieved the greatest victory in the
history of the state. Never before was
such an overwhelming majority given
any gubernatorial candidate as that
which was yesterday given Gen. Dan
w. Jones. and never was such a large
vote polled in the state. Conservative
estimates, based on partial returns
received, now place the total
vote at 10000 and give Jones
clear majority over all opposition COM
Lined of from o., 900 to $4,000. The fig
ures are cominr in slowly and many
enthusiastic democrats claim that

counties in Arkansas have no tele-
graph, and it will be several days be-
Iore the official returns are al in. The
unusual length of the ticket makes
progress of the count very slow.
