RuTLER,s MANIFESTO.

The PopulIst National Chairman's Onicial
Address to His Party.
WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator But
Ter, of North Carolina, chairman of the
populist national committee, has is
sued the following manifesto:
To the people OF the United States: In the
remarkable campaign just closed the peoples
party was the only party that supported solidly
and unitedly the great and vital issues repre-
scented in the candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. This
was natural. for the peoples party came into
existence to bring to the front and TO press to
victory the principles Of Lincoln and Jefferson.
already long discarded by the two old parties
The money power feeling reasonably sure Of
its control and domination of the leaders and
the controlling influences in the republican
party, in 1892 gave its support to the candi-
dacy of Grover Cleveland for the especial pur-
pose of having him, through the use of patron
age and otherwise, crush out the silver senti-
ment in the south and make the leaders in that
party as completely subservient as those in
the republican party. To accomplish this pur-
pose four cabinet ministers we're selected from
the south and an unusually large amount OF
patronage used on political leaders to the same
end. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Cleve-
land demanded that the democratic senators
and congressman give decisive vote in the in
terests of the gold standard before he would
deign to give out the post offices. This deep
laid plan might have succeeded had not the
peoples party at this iuncture sprung into ex-
iStence, exposed the plot. stood in the breach
and appealed to the patriotic hosts Of both
parties to check the scheme of the peoples
despoilerS and rally to the common defense.
The peoples party with a high patriotism
and an unselfish devotion to principle, greater
than ever before exhibited by any other party.
stepped outside of its organization to throw
its 1000 600 votes solidly for Bryan. Had not
more than this number Of those who called
themselves democrats in 1892 given their sup
port to Mr.. Mckinley. the cause Of the people
and American principles would have tri-
umphed this year. This class will surely sup
port the party of monopolies and trusts in the
future. Their places in the ranks of the reform
hosts must be taken by patriotic republicans
In fact, Bryan would have been elected in this
contest had even 5000 more silver republicans
come to the rescue.
The peoples party has made this possible
in fact inevitable The position OF the peo-
pies party in this great contest has convinced
every patriotic American that the party can be
trusted to stand for the principles Of good gov
eminent and the interests of the people under
any and all circumstances Therefore. the
peoples party will be the nucleus around
which the patriotic hosts must and will gather
to redeem a betrayed republic and to restore
prosperity to an oppressed and outraged peo-

The Suit Against Mrs. Stanford.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Now that the case Of the United States
against Stanford has been decided, would
mich Hike If you, or some of your posted
correspondents, could find me solution Of
a puzzle which have vainly tried to solve
myself, namely: Why the legal advisers Of
the government determined to bring this
test case against sorrowing widow, whose
whole life has been beneficence and a
charity, whist there was a man, one of
the original stockholders of the Central
Pacific railroad still very much alive? My
wonder Increases when l think of the diff
ferent uses of their riches made by the
Stanford endowed with nearly all his
wealth one Of the noblest institutions in
this or any other country, at the request
of his dying boy, who asked him, so I am
informed, to give to every boy in Califor-
MIA the advantages of education which he
himself had had. which. with Gods help"
he promised to do, and which promise his
bereaved and loving widow Is so nobly and
faithfully fulfilling. Why, then. were the
cares, anxieties and worriments of such a
suit thrown on this gentle lady, whose cup
of sorrow has already been filled almost to
overflowing. and who should not have been
subjected to this strain, when a sterner
and more vigorous subject might as well
have been found to battle for the case?
I put the above query, hoping that
through the agency of your widely circu-
lated paper I may obtain some answer to
my inquiry. Very truly, yours,

Incident at the War Records ONCE.
John L. Walker, the contractor, whose
presence while at work repairing windows
at the War Records Office caused anxiety
to the officials and clerks there because of
the reported occurrence OF scarlet fever in
his family, thinks an injustice was done
him in the general reports Of the affair.

day and inspected the premises and said
everything had been done that was neces-
Sary, and, before giving the final certificate,
was satisfied that everything had been
done that was possible to do to prevent
spread Of the disease.
THE health department designated this
complaint as scarlatina on their certificate.
The child was sick with this complaint for
three days, five weeks ago, but the law

The Enlarged monroe Doctrine.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times
One Of the London papers declares that
the threatened disruption of the Salvation
Army due to the disinclnation of the Ameri-
can branch to submit any longer to the rule
of English leaders and English ideas, will
be but another illustration of the fact that,
although the United States have always
been ready to accept religious systems from
Europe, yet they have invariably proceeded
to change every one Of those systems so
materially that either complete independ-
ence has become the only remedy for the
resulting friction or else the parent body
has been forced to preserve a nominal union
with its American offspring by tolerating
innovations and granting liberties 1t would
never dream Of according at home. The
writer says that the Church Of Rome is here
virtually another and a different church
from the one which exists in the continental
capitals. It's methods and its points Of view
are American, and every attempt by the
Vatican to exert restraint In matters not
purely religious Is met by instant and ef-
fective resistance. So, too, American Epis-
copalianism Is not English Episcopalianism,
and the same divergence appears In the
other denominations. intending even the
Quakers and the Theosophists. In short,
we have Monroe doctrine even as re-
CARDS evangelization and philosophy, to say
nothing Of science and art. The theory Is
an interesting one. and facts seem to bear
it out more or less.

The New Crossing Put in Mt eth and
F Streets.
The work of taking out the old crossing
at the intersection Of the cable line and
the Metropolitan road a F and 7th streets
went like magic last night. When the
thea .ers let out people rode over the big
hole under the crossing and wondered why
there were no men at work. Everything
had been done that could be done. All
hands We're waiting for the big cable to
stop.
AT 1:24 this morning the last car went
down 9TH street, and work began at once
on the big iron yokes. which were unbolteti
from the rails and taken out In a few
minutes the cable stopped and work pro-
ceeded with a rush. The whole crossing
was taken out In sections by the force of
twenty-five men, working under Superin-
tendent Fisher every one of whom, being
an old hand in the business, went from task
to task without any orders. The new cross
ing was put in piece after piece, and bolte1
firmly together. Not a particle of the old
put in for the cable line, as well as the
electric conduit.
When the first car came up 9TH street
at 5:15 this morning the new crossing was
in and ready for use. So strong was its
construction that trains were run across
it all day without any props snoring un-
derneath, the rails and the weight of the
is expected that all the iron will be laid
on each side of the crossing and complete
the work on F street east of 9th today, with
the exception of the concreting. This af-
ternoon the concrete gangs will begin to
fill in around the crossing.
