meet in caucus and organize the SEN
ate upon free silver lines. With the
exception Of two or three Senators, no
one was there but the members of the
POpulist party, When it came to the
question of the reorganization of the
Senate, we felt that as q matter Of
policy it was due to our party that we
take no part in 1t whatever. We felt
that the Republican party, as between
the Democratic party and itself, was
in the ascendsncy here. We felt as
though the responsibility for the legis.
lation Of Congress should pass to the
Republican party In both houses as
speedily as possible, and that the coun-
try should understand that the Repub-
licsn party is now in the majority, or
in the ascendsncy, In both branches of
Congress, and Is therefore responsible
for legislation in the future. We felt
that it was due to ourselves ss a party
that we take no hand whatever in the
organization of the Senate, and that we
should refrain from voting, permitting
the Republicans and Democrats to
settle the question of the org anizatiOn
between themselves.
~ want to repeat, Mr.. ? resident, so
that no man, woman, or child in this
country may misunderstand what is
said, that the Populist party in this
chamber and In the other branch of
Congress and in this country is a dis
tinet political entity, having its organi-
zstion In every State and Territory In
the union, having vote within 100000
of the number that landed Mr.. Lin
coin in the Presidency in 1861. We
are distinct organization, and pro-
pose to maintain our organization
throughout this and future Congresses.
"We could pursue one Of two courses.
That was plsil to any man. We
could vote either against the adoption
of this resolution, and by that means
Join our forces to the Democratic party,
which we did not propose to do, or we
could refuse to vote, and by our mega
tive action of course we could permit
the Republican party to take charge
of this chamber. We saw fit to do the
latter. Evil was the result either way
Ilaughterl, and we chose what we con.
sidered the lesser evil.
LET me say, Mr.. President, in all
kindness and all fairness, the Demo
cratic party has proven itself abso-
lutely incapable Of legislation. Laugh
ter The Democratic party came into
this chamber In March, 1893, with a
clear majority Of IFS own, not relying
in the slightest degree upon the Popu-
list vote.

work for free silver throughout the
country The report of the committee was
heard and adopted by q majority of the
meeting, but not without an Indignant pro-
test from a lively minority that gave every
promise of making trouble. The meeting

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 25.-The SUI
preme court decided case of great impor-
lance to the rail- Dads today. The case was
that of Kelly, executor, versus Brown, be-

principal question in the case was whether

Pyramid Pile Cure Cures Piles
PninIcssIy, without Danger.

PntnIcssiy, without buHEers
People get along for years suffering with
piles. They try this and that and the other
thing; from carrying a buckeye to getting
treatment from a physician. They obtain
temporary relief, maybe, but they are never
quite cured. little strain in lifting, ex-
cessiye fatigue, a little constputation or
little diarrhoea and the piles come back.
They don't seem to amount to much, but
they Danish sleep and appetite. No position
is comfortable. There is intense local pain
and that dreadful feeling OF weight in the
perineum.
Maybe in the early stages some of the
many salyes on sale will AFFORD temporary
relief If the case is of long standing there
is only one speedy and sure remedy. 1t Is
Pyramid Pile Cure. Even in light cases it
is the safest thing to use. Other applica-
lions may cure and may not. Pyramid Cure
is always certain, always reliable, always
brings comfort at once. It's prompt use
saves months of severe suffering In ex-
IRENE cases ir will save surgical operations.
1t is better than a knife. VIII cure easier,
quicker and safer. Thousands have used it.
Thousands have been cured by it. The cost
is trifiing compared with what IL does. The

WILL MEET IN THE MUD
Nebraska and Iowa Foot Ball Teams to
Have a Damp Time.
PLANS FOR THE BIG GAME ALL COMPLETE
Hawkcye Players Reach the city and
Retire for the Night, Hope
full of Victory This
Afternoon.

The four great foot ball games OF today
are Pennsylvania aginst Cornell at Phia-
delphia, Michigan against Chicago university
at Chicago, Kansas against Missouri at Kan
sas City and Nebraska against Iowa at
Omaha.
It is probable that the game here in Omaha
Will be every bit as closely contested and as
scientific as either of the other three games.
The fact is that the Western League is the
oldest foot ball league in the country, unless
you call the annual contest between Yale
aud Princeton a league. Our own league
has the elements of endurance in 1t, because
it is between colleges that are Of nearly
equal Importance and because of the con-
venient location of the large cities of Omaha
and Kansas City. which renders the annual
contests financial successes.
The game today will be played rain or
shine. 1t is so ordered. 1t Is a champion
ship game, and the deciding one, and 1t will
be impossible for the respective teams to
remain over until Saturday.
AS was demonstrated last Saturday in the
Yale and Princeton game. foot ball can be
played just as well and scientifically in
the rain or in the mud as at any other time.
Not the players, but the spectators are dis
commoded.
The grandstand at University park will
comfortably seat l2OO people ana the
bleachers will keep half as many more out
of the mud, and the ground north of the
grdiron is grassy and high. The worst
place in the field is the old base ball dia-
mond, where the players will sink up to
their necks in mud
The Iowa team has arrived and is guar
tered at the Delone. The players are ac-
companied by a few professors to look after
their moral welfare and by few "heelers'
who are responsible for their spiritual condi-
ton. Many mere of the latter class will
arrive this forenoon.
The Nebraska boys stopped at the Lincoln
in Lincoln last night. The coach
got them together to keep them
out of mischief and insure them
a good nights rest. They will arrive this
morning via the Rock Island with their
panoplied host OF "rooters' and go into i'm
mediate possession of the Willard.
1t has been arranged that Mr.. Stipp of
the Iowa college Grinnell, shall be referee.
He has had much experience and has given
the best satisfaction. Charles Wilson of
Omaha, who has been an official in so many
games before in Omaha, will act as umpire.
Manager Crawford says that the lnesmen
have not yet been selected. The game will
begin exactly on the minute at o'clock.
Both teams have pledged themselves to be
on the field at 2:45. The grounds will be
opened at o'clock. The official lineup of
the two teams is as follows:

GIVES RYAN THE DECISION
Tim Hurst Disappoints a Crowd of Smith
Supporters
MYSTERIOUS BILLY MAKES STRONG STAND
Firth Attempt 10 settle the Superior
ity Of These Rivals Leaves the
Question stu In
Some Doubt.

MASPETII, l.. l., Nov. 25-For the fifth
| time Tommy Ryan of Syracuse and "Mys-
FERROUS" Billy Smith of Boston met tonight
to decide which was the superior in the
Welterweight class. All previous encounters
had been as interesting as they had been
exciting and a battle royal was expected
There were probably 1000 people in the
building when the preliminary bout was
put on, with the inevitable Charlie Hovcy
as announcer and Tim Hurst as referee
Jem Mace, the old-time English champion
occupied a seat in one of the ring boxes
and was the center of attraction before the
sport began.
BY way OF an appetizer Billy Moore OF
Syracuse and Frank Patterson Of Brooklyn
started to box ten round at 1872 pounds
Patterson, at the outset, showed himself 20
be master of his opponent, but in the sec
ond round Moore began to assert himself
anu some very pretty lighting ensued.
Honors were fairly even up to the sixth
round, and then the Syracuse pugilist began
to take an active interest in the game
fierce smuggling match marked the close OF
the last round. If the battle had gone halt
minute longer Patterson would have been
Knocked out. Referee Hurst declared the
bout "a draw.
The big event of the night was then in
order and the spectators were all on edge.
The Syracuse contingent was, If anything,
more than confident that Tommy Ryan would
prove the victor, but the Boston mystery"
has n good following and the "Hubites"
placed plenty of money on Smith at even
chances. Ryan entered the ring at 1906
o'clock. He was accompanied by Jimmy
Handler, Fred Smith, Tom Brady and George
English. Smith was escorted by Charley
White, Tim McGrath, Bill Crowley and
Harry B. Black. The men met at catch
weights, but there was very little diner
once in their weights.
The fighting was nearly even up to the
eighth round, when Ryan forced 1t and held
Smith to the ropes until the gong released
him. In the ninth Smith sent his right
hard on the face making Ryans right eye
bleed badly. Ryan swung his left on the
face and Smith went to the floor. They
began smuggling right and left on body and
face and Ryan seemed to have slightly the
better of the argument. The referee saw
that the men would soon reach their limit
and stopped the bout after two minutes and
forty-four second had been used up in the
round. He then declared Ryan the WIN
ner, and when the announcers gave the
tent and Kisses.
r. j. Murphy of Long Island shouted that
he would back Smith against Ryan at any
time for any purse at catch weights and
that he was willing to put up any sum from
$1,000 to $4,000, providing that Tim Hurst
should not referee. The result was unsatis-
factory to the majority of the spectators
and the partisans of both men are willing
to have them meet again in order to decide
which is the better man at catch or stipu
lated weights
