LET US KEEP OUR HEADS
LEVEL.

+ LEVEL.
Political parties are simply or
CARNATIONS Of citizens formed to
enact into law certain economic
principles. AS means of enact
ing such principles into law it is
necessary under our form of
government to elect men who be-
lieve in such principles to office.
AS rule such officers are chosen
as party men: Very often their
political partnership determines
their choice, rather than their
real convictions or their ability
for the office.
At a time like this when exist
ing political parties are revising
their creeds, and Individual citi-
zens are studying political ques-
tions and continually severing old
party utilization a new or forma-
tive party like the peoples party,
for instance, should be careful
not to narrow it self down to
fanatical partisan lines.
We have no sympathy with this
middle of the road braVado in
du]ged in by some populists. To
be sure we should never desert
principles for the sake Of simply
securing an Office to certain of
our men, but it should not be for
gotten that every reform meas
ure placed upon the statute.
whether state or national, has al
ways been in the nature of a COM
promise between different inter-
ests, at best a sort of a fusion
measure.
1t may be laid down as an AK
iom in American politics that the
man or party who is too stubborn
as to want his or it's particular
view carried through or nothing,
always did get, and always will
get nothing.
If we are correct in the above,
and we think no sensible man
will dispute it, it behooves the
peoples party 10 keep it's head
level, and not blindly and fanatic
ally run TO seed on to strict par
tisanship, but be ready to lend it's
aid in any honorable com bination
with other parties or citizens
that are in accord with our lead
ing principles.
It looks now as though the de-
mocratic national convention
might come out on a monetary
platform EN- bodying the essential
features of the peoples party
monetary ideas. Should such be
the case, and should an out and
out free silver candidate like
Bland or Boies, whose past re-
cord is a sufficient guaranty of
his principles, be nominated, it
would become a grave question
whether it would not be the true
policy for the peoples party at
St. Louis to endorse such can
didate.
We know that the middle of the
road populist will scout such an
idea. But the sensible populist
who knows his principles, and is
working with a single eye for the
furtherance of these principles,
will understand the Importance
of acting right in such a contin-
gency.
We simply throw out this sug-
gestion to our brethren, and hope
they will see that broad minded
level headed men are sent to St.
Louis, men that can take in the
situation, and make whatever
more may be most advantageous,
all things considered.

honor and a privilege, but is
also the duty of our fellow
workers. TO take council with
each other, to recount the strug
giles of the past and plan wisely
for our future campaigns, so that
errors may be avoided and
tangible successes attained for
our fellow toilers, is part of the
duties which we owe to each
other, and which are now only
possible on that freest of all
forums floor of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The basis of representation in
the convention is: From Ma
tional or International Unions,
for less than 900 members, one
delegate; 1900 members or
more, two delegates; 5000 or
more, three delegates; 10000 or
more, four delegates; $4,000 or
more, five delegates, and SO on.

American Federation of Labor.

Samuel Gompers, president OF
the A. F. of L. has issued a call
in which he says:
In compliance with our laws,
you are hereby respectfully
notified that the Sixteenth
annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor
will be held in Odd Eel
lows Temple, corner Seventh
and Elm streets, Cincinnati,
Ohio, on Monday morning,
. December 18th, 1896, and be-
gin it's sessions at 10 o'clock on
said date, and continue until the
business of said convention will
have been concluded.
The wrongs attending our
chaotic economic environments
are yet with us. The cruelty and
suffering borne by the young
and the old, men and women,
the strong and the weak, are
still manifestly in evidence. The
law makers and their executors,
as well as it's expounders, have
not given that generous or tair
consideration to 1abor's de-
mands as are commensurate
with the ever-changing scenes on
the tragic panorama Of our in
dustrial and commercial lite.
Many may entertain views
and advocate theories as to the
best means by which every vest
age of human injustice may be
obliterated forever from our
everyday life. Yet all who really
think and all who sincerely
strive to attain industrial free
dom agree that the best results
have been achieved and the best
hopes for future success can and
will be secured by and through
the trades-unions, federated in q
compact, comprensive move
ment where the sovereignty of
the member shall be safeguarded
as the last rock OF resistance to
tyranny within or without.
Such an organization is the

Supreme Court Justices Decide
Northern Pacific Receiver
ship Cases.
All Courts Along the Line Are
Ancillary to Judge Jenkins
Court,
Which Is Given Charge of the
Receivership All Along the
Line.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. Judges Field,
Harlan, Brewer and Brown of the su-
preme court have rendered their de-
cision in the Northern Pacific receiver
ship case, holding all the courts along
the line of the road to be ancillary to
Judge Jenkins court at Milwaukee.
This decision gives the Milwaukee
court the jurisdiction over the entire
system in the matter of receiverships.
The case was argued before all these
members of the supreme court sitting
in chambers and as individual justices
presiding over the various judicial cir
cults which the road traversed, except
in the case Of Justice Brown of the Sec
ond circuit, who sat in the case because
of the fact that the Northern Pacific
has large property interests in New
York, which is in his circuit.
