securing equitable commercial relations with
other nations.
"The contract convict system, through which
spectators are enriched at the expense of the
state, should be abolished.
"All citizens should be protected by law in
their right to one day of rest in seven, without
expressing any who conscientiousy observe
any other than the frs. day of the week.
'"The American public schools taught in
the English language should be maintained,
and no public fund should be appropriated for
sectarian institutions.
'"The president, vice president and United
States senators should be elected by direct vote
of the people.
"Ex-soldiers and sailors of the United States
army and navy, their widows and minor chill
dren, should receive liberal pensions, graded
on disability and term of service, not merely as
debt of gratitude, but for service rendered in
the preservation of the Union.
"Our immigration laws should be so admin
istered as to exclude paupers and criminals
None but citizens of the United States
should be allowed to vote in any state, and nat
uralized citizens should not vote until one year
after naturalization papers have been issued.
"The initiative and referendum and proper
tional representation should be adopted.
"Having herein presented our principles
and purposes we invite the cooperation and
support of all citizens who are with us sub
stantaly agreed"
The above platform will commend itself to
many people who are tired of wearing the old
party yoke, and yet are prejudced against the
Populist party, and we predict that the new
party will command the votes of many Repub-
lcans and Democrats. 1t will also take in the
majority of the Prohibition party voters, who
are tired of being hoodooed by the Wall street
Voice and the Standard Oil Company. The
narrow-gaugers will soon discover their error,
but it will be too late.

"No citizen should be denied the right to

"All money should be issued by the general

cO1D-BIIGS CORPORATIONS AND COMBINES ARE
DENOUNCED, AND A BROAD, COMPRE-
HENSIVE PLATFORM ADOPTED.

The Prohibition party national convention,
at Pittsburgh, resulted i'll split Owing to
hard times, and the consequent inability of the
far-western delegates to attend the convention,
the pold-bugs and the Standard Oil Company
dominated the convention, and platform was
adopted in which nothing but prohibition is
mentioned Every other issue is ignored. De
spite the heroic efforts of Mrs. Helen M.
Cougar and other advocates of woman suffrage,
the suffrage plank was discarded, i'll accordance
with deal between the gold-bugs and the del
epates from some of the Southern states, by
which the gold-bug element agreed to work to
defeat woman suffrage if the Southern dele
gates would assist in ''downng St. John and
his financial and other crazy ideas" The
scheme worked, although the grand old COM
moner est. john and other able men and
women made brave fight for humanity and
the rights of the masses.
Ex-Governor St. John and his broad-ninded
adherents could not stand this action of the
convention. They realize that the liquor curse
is not the only thing that ails this country
ST. John, especially, has for years been labor
ing in the interest of the poor and oppressed,
and he refused to be muzzled by Wall street
and the Standard Oil Company; so, when the
convention obeyed the commands of these two
great factors in the affairs of our country by
adopting weak little one-plank platform and
nominating godstandard men, St. John and
his co-patriots, comprising nearly half of the
DELEGATES, assembled in another hail. at II D.
H., and proceeded to organize new party and
prepare for active work. Before daylight, the
new party-the National party-had adopted a
broad, humanitarian platform, nominated a
ticket-C. M. Bentley, of Nebraska, for presi
dent, and Mr.. Southgate, Southern man

THE MILWAUKEE FIGHT.

In Milwaukee, the spirit of 10 is rampant,
and street-car tea is being thrown overheard at
q rate that makes liberty loving man feel
good all over.
Some time since, the street-car employees OF
Milwaukee asked for an advance OF one cent an
hour on theirwag The request was made more
70 secure a recognition of their labor organiz-
alton than for the advance in wages, the street.
car company having taken the position that 1t
conld not deal with the body OF employees as
whole, but that every question should be settled
as between individual and company.
The employees went out i'll body, and the
battle begun The company called men OF
their lines in other cities, and called IN new
men until the cars were all running on time
and fully equipped. Then the citizens took
band-not few, but the whole mass OF we'll
to.do peoplc-and refused to ride On the cars
unless the company would treat with the en-
ploves. Committee after committee was ap-
pointed, who offered to arbitrate or do anything
reasonable to adjust the difficulty. Invariably,
the company had but one reply, and that there
was nothing to arbtrate-no difficulty to adjust.
For weeks, the citizens OF Milwaukee nave not
ridden on the street-cars. At first, few men
rode but if they were business or professional
men, they were boycotted. Thus, the cars
were boycorted, and men who rode on the cars
were bovcotted Vehicles of all descriptions
were pressed into service, and people rode IN
carriages, 'busses and buggies, at the same fare
charged by the car companies.
H.
Some time after the battle opened, the COM
many bought up the mayor and the merchants
exchange, and the mayor issued proclamation,
the tenor of which was that there was lawless-
ness, and commanding the people to ride on the
cars. The mayor was backed by the exchange
..biq bugs" and the car company. The people
assembled in large mass meeting ana oe-
nounced the mayor.
All this time there has not been single act
of lawlessness on the part of the strikers, and
never was the city more peacefully inclined.
The latest move of the citizens Is to petition
the Governor to condemn the car lines and
,,onertv and turn them over to the city, How
i will end we know not, but, sooner or later,
municipal ownership is bound to come, and
Milwaukee seems to be on the right track, and
her citizens will rank first in the struggle tor
fair treatment of employees and decent rates OF
trausnortation. In other words King Col ora
tion is meeting foe worthy of his steel, and
that means the overthrow of his kingdom with
mighty downfall.
uurrah for the citizens of Milwaukee, We
send greeting, and when they get through with
that little job, there will be another one on
hands. in which we will all take hand, viz,
the government ownership of railroads.

SHYLOCK CAUSED THE CUBAN WAR.

What is causing the war in Cuba? Well,
Cuba may possibly gain her independence, but
when she does it will be with bondholders'
milestone about her neck and money-mongers'
letters about her ankles. The powers that be
will see to it that all her laboring people are
completely enslaved and brought into subjec-
ton-sadded with great national debt-and
the foundation is laid for all aristocracy of no.
bility, with British system of banking. Such
being the case, it is selfevdent fact that the
powers that be are causing the war-those old
British Shylocks, who have such an enormous
surplus of money, and are living in idleness,
and have nothing else to do but study and plan
how to get up war in some country and reap
a harvest of bonds. 1t is British money that is
causing the trouble. They have control of a
majority of the printing presses, and they have
their tools at work over there, just as they
have in this country.

"From number of private letters received at

if Ex-Governor St. John, of Oathe, is nomi-
mated by the Populsts at Ottawa, he will be
elected by handsome majority. AL these
letters declare St. John to be the most available
candidate in the district, and say that if he
cannot lie elected, the Populists cannot elect
any one. We are inclined to the same opinion
