WASHINGTON, D. Co.,.
June IA, 1897. {

+ In the remarkable drama that is
being enacted in the House of Rep
resentatives, which like a Chinese
theatrical performance has been
upon the stage for weeks, the only
person who has achieved distinc-
tion, has been Honorable Jerry
Simpson Of Kansas.
Simpson stood alone when be
attacked the usurpation of power
by which Speaker Reed made HIM
self the House Of Representatives
and reduced the remainder of the
peoples representatives who were
the Peers Of Reed to the condition
of political eunichs. Simpson OBJ
jected to the performance Of the
operation and determined to re-
tain his vigile political manhood.
Mr.. Reeds Republican associates
submitted without protest to the
knife and even went so far as to
declare that the operation was
pleasant, Young Mr.. Bailey of
Texas, whom in q state of imbecili-
ty the Democrats had placed upon
the floor Of the House as their lead
ef gracefully accepted the situation,.
and was followed by a majority of
his Democratic associates.
After Simpson had refused to he
bound, some of the Democrats,
notably Richardson and Mcmillan
OF Tennessee, Terry of Arkansas,
and later Mr.. James Hamilton
Lewis Of Washington, who is the
result of a union between the Dem
ocrats and Populists of that State,
made vigorous, but like Simpsons
unavalling protests against being
reduced to q state of inocuous
desuetude.
But Jerry Simpson, the Popu-
list leader, has the honor Of being
foremost in the fray to combat the
Maine mans overthrow of the Con-
stitution AID the constitutional
rights of0his compeers, He is no
longer ''Sockless Simpson" but
the leader Of the minority in its
war upon Reed.

The New Time.
A Most Interesting Reform Maga
zine.

The first number Of The New
Time, the successor of New Occa
Sions, is considered the best speci
men of a reform magazine yet pub
lished in this country. Its editors,
b. O. Flowers and Frederick U.
Adams, have supplied just what
thousands Of people have been
looking for, viz: a high grade
magazine devoted to such proposed
reforms as the initiative and refer
endum, natural ownership Of mo-
nopolies and kindred topics Of ma
tional interest. There is not u dull
paragraph in the eighty pages Of
the July number of The New Time,
and the wonder is that such a mag
asine can be produced for ten cents
o month or one dollar year. .
1T contains articles from such
brilliant Vritcrs and public men as
Prof. Frank Parsons, Henry D..
Lloyd, Senator Pettigrew, Gov.
Rogers of Washington, President
George A, Gates Of Iowa College,
Senator Stewart, Eugene V. Debs,
Justice Walter Clark, Abby Nor
ton Diaz, Frances E. Willard and
many others. Mr.. Flower has
contributed three fine editorials and
has lost none Of the charm which
made him famous as editor of the
Arena. Mr.. Adams ranks as the
best editorial paragrapher in the
country and is seen at his best in
The New Time.
The best reform writers in the
world have been secured as con-
tributors to this magazine, and it
seems destined to prove a great
success. In four months it has in
creased its circulation from 5000
to 90, 900 and has established itself
as the acknowledged leader Of radi-
cal reform thought.

Nashville Conference.

Fortunately for all concerned
and for the cause of reform, the
bitterness and radicalism of the
self-styIed ''middlo-of-t -the-road'
Populists was considerably soften
ed BY the time the conference,
which had been called to decapi-
tate the so-calIed fusionists, had
assembled.
Conservative men like j. S.
Bradley of Texas, for Chairman,
and Jo. A. Parker of Kentucky,
for Secretary, held the reins, and
the wild crankism of the Coxeyites
was allowed to ooze out, and then
good, earnest, honest, conscrva'
tive action was taken.
Resolutions were passed urging
a more thorough organization OF
the party, and greater activity
along educational lines, and ma
tional committee to have this work
in hand was appointed, as follows
Milton Park of the Southern Mer-
curry, Dallas, Texas, Chairman, W.
S. Morgan of the Saw, Har.
dy, Arkansas, Secretary, Judge
A. A. Gunby of the Bulletin, Mon
roe, La, Col. w. L. Peck of Ca,
Hon. Ignatius DonneIly of Mimi,
Abe Steinberger of Kansas, and
L. c.. Bateman of Me-, Executive
Committee, with one member from
each one of the other States to
complete the committee.
The only lame step in the pro
ceedings is the attempt to clothe
the above committee with the pow
er Of calling a national convention
of tho Peoples party. OF course,
such power can only be exercised
by our regular national committee,
of which Senator Butler is chair-
man, which committee was created
and empowered by a regular na-
tional convention of 400 accredi-
ted delegates from every State in
the Union, and any attempt to
usurp such authority by a confer
ence of one side OF faction of the
party will lead to a division and Il
disorganization that must fill all
true reformers with sorrow, and
our enemies with joy.
We trust however, that we are
mistaken in the motives of Milton
Park, and that good results only
may follow his every action. We
have great confidence in 8 of his
committee - Ignatius Donnelly,
Judge Gunby and Judge Peek.
Louisiana was we'll represented
at Nashville, claiming 13 delegates,
when she was only entitled to 6
under the call. We opine howev-
er, that most Of the IL were prox-
les, but such good men as Judge
Gunby and B. w. Bailey, were
present.
We will know more about 1t
next week.

TO SAVE EXPENSE.

Number of Pension Agencies to be Re-
duced from 18 to 8, After September L.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The president
has signed, ON the recommendation of
Secretary of the Interior Francis, an
order reducing the number of pension
agencies in the United States from IS
to- o. The object of the order is to eff
feet large saving to the government
without inconveniencing the pension
ers. The secretary demonstrates that
by this reduction of the pension
agencies the cost of disbursing pensions
can be reduced by at least Sl5O,OOO per
annum.
Under the consolidation the pension
ers heretofore paid at Pitts burg ale to
be paid from the Philadelphia ency;
those of Louisville and Knoxville from
Washington; those at Detroit from In
dianapolis; those at Milwaukee from
Chicago; those at Des Moines and To-
peka from st. Louis, where new
agency is esta blished. A new agency
is established at st. Louis because of
the better mail facilities there than at
Des Moines or Topeka, and for the fur
ther reason that there is a government
building at st. Louis which can be oc-
cupied without cost to the government.
The following are the nine agencies
and the number of pensioners paid
there under the new order: Boston
94,857, New York 9s,sS3, Philadelphia
1O6, 735, Washington 1865, Columbus
1O4, 492, indianapolis 116,066, Chicago
1875, 1875, st. Louis 161, 500, San Francisco
23,09S Total 97O,67S.
The change is made possible by the
law requiring pensioners to be paid by
checks RENTED by mail. 1t goes into
effect SentRmber newt
