First District Popullst Platform.

The following platform was adopted
by the Populist Congressional convention
in the First district:
"We, the Populists of the First Con-
gressional district, In convention as.
sembled, resfiirming cur allegiance to
the principles enunciated by the Popu-
list National convention at st. Louis,
July %, 1896, we here now in conven-
tion assembled, being fully convinced
that upon the people Of our country 10
forced, by the combination Of wealth,
the issue Of the 'bondholdsr' against
the 'plowholder' and the laborer in
office, shop and mine, we accept the issue
as thus forced upon us and appeal TO
the loyal patriotism Of the masses who
eat their bread in the sweat of their face
to assist us in electing to Congress a
man who pledges himself as the servant
of the people to use every honorable
means to secure the enactment into law
of all the reforms demanded in said
National platform.
"ReSOlUed, That we condemn as cow
ardly the present attitude of the Re-
publican nominee for Congress in this
district in his attempt to straddle the
paramount ISSUE Of this campaign.
"ReSoEUed, That the nominee OF this
convention stands pledged to eternal
opposition to the refunding OF the Pa
cific railroad bonds and demand that the
mortgage OF the United States upon
same be immediately foreclosed; the
said Pacific railroad to become the
absolute property of the government.
"ReSOl0ed, That inasmuch as it is
charged by the apologist for the trans
portation and telegraph monopolist that
public ownership OF these means of
oppression would tend 70 centralize the
power Of the government, we unquRli-
iedly endorse the system Of direct
legislation known as the initiative and
referendum, which counteracts the
ceutralizing power OF the government by
enlarging the powers Of the people,"

Clemens Was Not a Candidate.

G. G. Clemens has been considerably
annoyed by the impression given out by
the newspapers that he wanted the NOM
instion for Congress at the Emporia con-
vention. AS a matter Of fact, he was
neither seeking nor desiring the nomina-
tion, but, on the contrary, nominated
and supported in the convention Mr..
Root of Shawnee county. For these rea-
sons he declined to appear before the
convention when the candidates were
called for. Mr.. Clemens is not a candi-
date for office. His reform work is not
done with a view to individual profit.

great deal of bitter feeling had been en-

peared so threatening at one time that a

was sent down to prevent bloodshed and
keep the peace

EASY WHEN YOU KNOW HOW.
How the Rnvngcs of the Missouri
Wore Checked ut AtchisOn.

How the RnynEcs of the Missouri
Were Checked Mt AtchisOn.
A result has been obtained at Atchison,
Kan, by the Chicago and Atchson Bridge
company which is Of national Importance,
says the Kansas City Times. After the ex-
penditure of vast sums of money by the
government the railroad companiec, and the
bridge company in Intellectual efforts, in usual
ways, to check the ravages of tne Missouri
river, the bridge company, for an insignificant
sum, and by work that only received the
sneers of the government river commission,
has actually changed the channel Of the river,
saved its own costly structure, and made the
reclamation of hundreds Of acres of valuable
land a certainty.
Atchson ie situated at the apex of the
Grand Datour" Of the Missouri river, and
the treacherous stream at that point has, for
many years, been source of great annoyance
and expense to the government, the bridge
company, and the several raiirtad companies
whose traffic is over the bridge. Possibly the
money that has been expended in rip-rap,
dykes and mattress work will aggregate a
quarter of a million dollars, but not stone
or pier or mattress is in evidence today. The
joint expenditure of the government and
bridge company in 1894 was not leso than ST5,-
900. In that years work 1,500 carlc1ds Of
heavy stone and 1900 cords of willow brush
were used. 1t was the year of the greatest
devastation Four to five hundred acres of
ric'n Missouri bottom land were washed away.
Eighty houses, with their gardens and or
chards, being the residence part of East Atch-
ison, fell a prey to the remor@eless cutting of
the current. The tracks Of three of the four
railroad lines were destroyed, and the great
bridge itself looked upon as doomed. AS
result of the cutting of the river on the Mis-
souri, side, which had been going on fer many
years previous to 1894, an island containing
400 or 500 acres had formed on the Kansas
side where the current formerly flowed.
| In the spring of 1895 the bridge company
conceived the idea that a canal cut through
this island would lessen the pressure of the
current on the Missouri side, and, possibly, in
time, divert it, AT an expense of only $13,
600 the company constructed the canal. 1t
was $500 feet long, sixty to eighty feet wide,
and eight feet deep. The result was surpris-
ing. Government engineers, old steamboat
men, and people generally looked upon its
construction as a foolish proceeding. But
| within six months the course of the river wac
through the canal. The island has been
eaten away, and the vast body cf land on the
Missouri side, over which the river flowed le,,s
than a year ago, is ready to be reclaimed
| the railroad tracks have been re,aid; the
bridge company has no fear of the future, and
it is hardly possible that the government will
be called upon again in thi, generation for an
appropriation for river work at Atchison.
