jumped out. 1t was winter, and the
Delaware river, only few feet away,
was filled with running ice. The cattle
must have been in panic, or must have
known that they were in Pike county,

An amusing little story about the pres
emit emperor Of Germany. William II.
and Vienna coachman was narrated at
. banquet lately given at Vienna BY
some diplomatists. the narrator being
himself we'll known and prominent
member Of the corps diplomatic.
In the year 1887 the present Emperor
William II Of Germany. then Prince
William Of Prussia, came to Vienna,
visiting his particular friend and ohum.
the late Crown Prince Rudolf Of Aus
tria. Joined by the Prince Of Wales,
who was at that time also frequent
visitor to the Vienna court, the three
princes took fancy to m1Agle with the
commons Of the Vienna population.
Dressed in ordinarysclot they visited
places which are pot in the least regard
ed as suitable for princey guests.
One day they entered hotel, but in.
stead Of going into the dining room they
walked into the "schwemme," place
which answers in some degree to the
barroom Of an American hotel: in this
room coachmen and the servants Of the
hotel guests take their meals -
The three princes took seats at an
empty table, and listened, highly
amused, to fierce debate about politics
between several stout members of that
class of fashionable Vienna coachmen
who are known, all over Europe as
''fesche Wiener fiaker." The distinc-
tion of those characters is a kind of
good natured boldness and droll famil-
iarity toward their customers as we'll as
to perfect strangers. e~vtw4aas
After listening awhile Prince william
put in word, and soon was drawn into
the excited discussion. Suddenly stout,
red faced coachman walked up to the
table where the three princes were seat
ed, and, tapping Prince William gently
on the shoulder, said, "Now, If you
should ever have anything to say in
politics, you wouldn't set river on fire,
I'm sure!"
As every public coachman in Vienna
wears a number. this coachman was
upon special request Of Prince William
easily identified. The prince sent him
a handsome scarfpin with his initials as
thanks for the amusement he had fur
nished, and thus the man learned in
amazement whose political abilities
they were that he had so belittled.-

McKlnley's Rind Of Protection.

The following is an Associated Press
dispatch from Cleveland, dated June Is:
The Central Labor union is after
Marcus Aurelius Hanna, McKinlsy's
manager, with sharp stick. Resolutions
have been unanimously adopted as
follows, and will be sent to Chairman
Carter Of the National committee:
''To the Republican Trades UniORtsts
of the United States:
Realizing that in few short months
the union workingmen of this country
will again be asked to cast their ballots
for President, we, the delegates Of the
organized lsborlng people Of workers,
state to Republican wageworkers, their
party newspapers and politicians that
they must initiate capital and organize
il they would enjoy the benefits Of q
higher tariff, to demand that Hon.
Marcus A. Hanna, the principal mana-
ger of William Mckinley (who, it 10
stated, will be q member Of the lstter's
Cabinet in case he is nominated and
elected), explain his attitude relative to
labor organizations.
~. Ask the Hon. NJ. A. Hanna il he did
not aid in destroying the Seamen's Un-
ion Of the lower lake regions and then
contribute to fund to send A. r. Rum
soy, his scab procurer, on pleasure trip
around the world as an acknowledgment
of his services.
"2. Ask Major McKinley's bosom
friend, the Hon. M. A. Hanna, IL he has
not taken prominent part in wrecking
the Mine Workers Union Of Pennsyl-
Vania.
''3. Ask this tremendous political gen.
eral, who heeces his workingmen with
one hand and spends money laVishly
with the other to purchase Presidency,
Hon. M. A. Hanna, il he did not destroy
the union Of his street railway employees
and positively refused 10 allow tnem 70

81. Ask the President-maker, Hanna, il
he did not say to the striking employees
Of the Globe shipyard that Sl.3O per day
Is sufficient wages for them (when com.
petltors were paying more), but il they
would vote for Mckinley he would favor
paying $3.50 day.
''5. Ask the unselfsh Hanna il be 10
not at this moment erecting a mansion
for his son and employing scab labor and
disregsrding the wage rate and eight
hour day OF the building trades.
"Finally, ask Mr.. Hanna, before his
candidate is given nomination for the

men who, like OVermyer and Martin
of Kansas and Altgsld Of Illinois, have
the old, intense fire of liberty burning
upon the altar of their hearts; men
who feel for the wronged masses as
Jefferson felt. These men look not to
Hill and his lstter.dsy class of alleged
Democrats as their exemplars, but
read over again the literature of old
Revolutionary days and thrill with the
pulsatlOns of Bunker Hill. Let no
Populist tell me not to trust such
man as Altgeld. He Is true to the
people if ever man was. 1t now seems
that such men may obtain control Of
their party. If they do, they may be
true to its origin, and it may play
conspicuous part In the coming battle
of the people to regain their lost lib
erty. Once, upon digging in an old
abandoned colllerY in England, the
body of a handsome, black. haired
youth was exhumed and brought to
the surface. Nobody recognized him;
he belonged to another generation.
Finally, as the body lay there, pre-
served as If the young man had died
but yesterday, a grsy-hsired woman
tOttering with age joined the thrOng
and with a scream Of recognition
threw herself upon the body, kissing
the dead lips and uttering words of
endearment to which her lips had long
been unused. They were to have
welded next day when the young man
went down the shaft for the last time
forty years before. The two lovers were
strangely contraSted now. With the
living time had done its worst. The
dead was as beautiful as when living
forty years before. So with the noble
principles of freedom for which 80 long
ago the Democratic party stood.
Recresnt men have buried them for
years. When now exhumed by the
prospective new Democracy, they will
appear In all their youthful beauty and
inspire as of yore the love of true men.
And should the Democratic party,
with new blood In its now shriVeled
veins, show itself once more true to its
origin, and make vigorous war for
freedom of the Ststes-for home rule
surely every Populist will bid it God
speed. 1t will be working out one Of
our aims. On the other hand, the
true Democrats will silence the fool
ish prattle about "psternalism"
when speaking of State affairs, and
will recognize in US, with our State
policy, the genuine Democrats whose
abuse, were he here, Jefferson would
delight to share. In short, should the
Democratic party, made up Of new
men, revert to its original purpose and
do what Jefferson meant it to do,
there should henceforth be but one ma
tional party of the people-the Demo
cratic party; and In the States but one
party of the people-the Peoples
party. Not before, but at the polls,
every Populist could be Democrat
for National purposes, every Demo
crat a Populist for State purposes; and
thus combined, but not fused, we
would be powerful and restore gu.
premscy to the common people all
over the land. Old prejudice must

should be committed for disposition
to the Electors after election.
Then, there is another important
matter for the convention to decide.

gerOus luxurleS only because we have
tried to copy the old parties. "Fat-
frying" parties need q National execu.

have somebody with whom to deal in

an honest party of the common people
need q National Chairman Do we

the impure atmosphere Of that city,
and 'rub up against the practical side"

Lindell hotel In st. Louis last January,
utterly helpless while four or FIVE men,
behind locked doors, were disposlng Of
100000 voters, ourselves included,
precisely as old-time mOnsrChs were
wont to dispose of their subjects by
will. We had no voice In the proposed
transfer Of our votes to another party.
We were dumb Chattels Of our mighty
sovereigns- -TsubeneCk, Weaver and
others. Never again permit any man
or men to have such dangerous power.
That our party has not been totally
wrecked Is no fault of our National COM
mittee. We need no such committee.

the States and Territories which needs

And may not the State committeeS'be

psignsP l am advised by one famil-
lar with the facts that most Of the
work has hitherto been done by State
Chsirmen corresponding with each
other. Let the State Chairmen be eT
oficio the National committee for the
purpose, and the purpose only, of fix
ing the date, place and representation
of the next National convention. The
National convention can choose Ma
tionsl Secretary, or leave the State
Chsirmen to choose one, whose only
powers should be to direct the canvass
of the National candidates this year,
and issue the call for the next Ma
tionsl convention when agreed upon
by the State Chsirmen meeting for
that purpose. Were this plan carried
out there would be no National cam
psign speakers paid big fees becaure
of their "pull" with the National Chair
man. Less hard earned money would
be wasted. We can watch State com
mittees; they are close to US; but a
National committee is so far away 1t
can do what it likes. Let the people
rule in the Peoples party every day in
the year; and be certain there iG no
club of Well.fed gentlemen sitting
above to tell the people nay. We wish
to fry no fat out of manufacturers,
trusts, corporations, nor even silver

urged against our proposal that the
people should own and operate the
railroads and telegraph. Direct legis-
lstion could even now be applied in
municipal government in many of the
States. Only an act of the Legislature
Is required; and amendment Of State
constitutions making general the policy
of direct legislation would be practica-
BILE within two or three years, while an
amendment of the federal constitution
is well-nigh impossible. Besides, with
State courts deciding with the better
precedents already existing, the Legls-
lstures could voluntarily submit inn
pOrtsnt laws to the people even now.
The land question must be dealt with
by the State Legislatures; no power
over 1t Is vested in Congress. Every
demand of the Peoples party, except
the money demands, is for measures
which could be Immediately accom-
plished by the peoples will, were the
States only free from the despotism
of the federal judiciary; for the people
make the State courts and can have
such as they desire.
Whittier am / driftingP Toward an
important consideration: - That the
Peoples party is, or should be, except
only as to the money question and the
restoration to the States of their SOW
ereignty now taken from them by the
federal judiciary, essentially q State
party; party pursuing policies of State
legislation. Its greatest national pur-
pose greater than electing officers
should be to sgitste principles and,
working a moral lesVen, accomplish,
as it has accomplished, indirect re-.
suits through the spread of ideas and
of new ideal. With this understood,
let us look further. While the Peo-
ple's party is thus a State party, the
Democratic party was, in its origin,
essentially a national party. Its orig
inal purpose was, and its purpose still
should be, to watch with jealous eyes
attempted enCroachments Of the fed
ersl government upon the rights of
the States; and its present mission
should be the restoration to the States
of their lost sovereignty by repeating
the acts of Congress giving to the
federal courts the powers they have
abused and employed for the purposes
OF usurpstion; its further present mis-
sion being to restore to the people the
control of the nations money. In
adopting platform pledging the party
to curtsil the dangerous powers of the
government at Washington anu force
it to take its hands from the throstS of
the States, and further pledging the
party to put an end to banks of issue,
leaving the government to issue its
own money, the Democratic party
would deserve the hearty God-speed
of the worst extremist" in the Peo-
pls's party. On the other hand, no
leading Democrat has ever, until re-
Gently, opposed the widest expansion
of State power on the lines now pro-
posed by the Peoples party. Certainly
