in Kansas and for five years has been
chairman of the Populist state central
committee, tonight resigned the posi-
ton. Taylor Riddle, of Marion, was
elected to succeed him.
Mr. Breidenthal has been an inde-
fatigable worker for the party. To his
efforts alone are attributed the Popu-
lists successes in Kansas. The Repub-
lican managers feared him more than
they did the combined forces of fusion
in this state.
Republicans are jubilant- over the
resignation and are confident that his
successor, unskilled in organization and
campaigning will not be able to con-
troll the diversified elements of the
party in Kansas, and that an easy
party victory will be gained in 1885,,

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 13.-The Kansas
POpulist central committee has decided
to issue call for a national conyen-
tion Of state committeeman and party
leaders for the purpose of trying to
agree upon plan to make the abol-
ishment of the federal courts the main
issue of the present local campaigns
and to push it vigorously in the next
state campaign in the hope of making
1T the most important part Of the plat
form in the presidential campaign in
1900.
In this state the Populist leaders free
ly admit they must seek some issue
other than the free and unlimited COIN
age of silver upon which to base their
future efforts to attain political sue
cess. Taylor Riddle, the newly elected
chairman, who succeeds John w. Bried-
enthal, indorses this idea and says:
If the people of this country hope
to retain their liberties the federal
courts must be abolished to prevent a
continuation of their unwarranted in
terference In our AFFAIRS
This new scheme is the result of the
Injunction issued by Judge Williams

In this city today. In the Populist con-
vention bitter words were used. The
question of sending a. delegation to rep
resent the county in the state con-
vention at Des Moines next Thursday
was the bone of contention. Finally
State Chairman Weeks and his faction
captured the convention. and succeeded
in electing their delegates and nonli-
mating full county ticket. The Dem
ocrats voted for fusion WIN all the sill
verites, and the Republican boilers ac-
cepted. When the communication was
sent to the Populists. however, it was
promptly tabled.
Atlantic Iowa, Aug 14-The middle

held convention here today with an
attendance of about 100. A full county
ticket was nominated and complete or

The leaders predict 1000 votes in the

Editor Representative:
Dear Sir and Brother-May I contrib
ute my little mite to the fund for the
purchase of a new home for Mrs. Mary
Ellen Lease? I hope every subscriber
to your paper will help what they can.
I wish Mrs. Lease could he induced
to come to Minnesota to live. She has
done such good work in Kansas that
think with her help we could save old
Minnesota In 1900.
We Populists indorse every action
taken by the Nashville conference and
are glad to see our noble statesman
(Donnelly) come out all covered with
honor
Now for good and thorough organ
ization in every county and town in our
state We have Becker county organ
lied in a way that is very effective. At
our county seat we have a chairman and
secretary, and the chairman of each
township committee is a member OF
the county committee. In that way the
county chairman can make any ar
rangements for lectures or business any
where in the county through mem-
ber of his own committee.
Perhaps this place might be sugges-
tive of some good way to organize. By
all means push the committee into or
ganizing before the campaign opens
next summer.
Don't give up the fight for right and
justice. Yours respectfully
A. w. SANDERSON.
Then we have letter from our gal
liant friend, David Fitzgerald, of Min

cents and says:
Il gladly subscribe my ten cents tc

Then we have ten cents more from

do not give their names but enclose ten
cents each.

tenderly, we have set aside IS for that
good woman. We may do better here
after.
We hope the example set by the fore
going letters will be followed all over
the state; and that Mr.. Fitzgerald in
Minneapolis, and Mr.. Hanley in St.
Paul, will see that their local organ
izations take up the work We would
call the attention of Peoples party
editors throughout the state and ma
ton, and ask them to appeal to their
subscribers everywhere to help the good
work. If they prefer SO to do they can
get up state fund Of their own, and
when sufficient money is raised a COM
mittee could be appointed to purchase
and build. We would be glad, as Mr.
Sanderson suggests, to have Mrs Lease
make her home in Minnesota, but we

Great Writers Who Were Aenpecked.

The editor of the Philistine thinks
that there IL some compensation even
In n shrewish wife. He says:
walking through the gallery of
statuary at the Luxembourg / saw the
white carved nude figure of n mana
man in all the splendid strength OF
youth. Standing behind him on
higher part of the pedestal was the
form of n woman: and this woman
was leaning over. her face turned
toward him, her lips about to be
pressed upon his. j moved closer and
to one side and saw that on the face
of the youth was an expression of
deathly agony; and then / noted that
every muscle of that splendid body
was tense with awful pain. And in
that one glance I saw that the
woman's body was the body of a
tigress-that only her face was beautl
ful--and that the arms ended In claws
that We're digging deep into the vltals
of the man as she drew his face to
hers.
Suddenly feeling the need OF fresh
air | turned and went out on the
street. That piece of statuary gave
Philip Burns-Jones the suggestion of
might suppose from that awful sermon
in stone that woman was the cause Of
mans undoing. But for the benefit of
henpecked and misunderstood hus-
bands I'll call attention to the fact that
the men who have achieved most in
literature, music. painting and phil
osophy are men who knew from sad
experience the sharpness of womans
claws. Socrates, Dante, Shakespeare,
Rousseau. Milton. Wagner, Paganini
and so many more that were to name
them all the world would not be large
enough to contain the books in which
they are printed. OF course, I'll admit
that the men who have been flayed by
women have usually been greatly
accounts for the flaying. But the
point | make is that all experience is
good--the law of compensation never
rests and the stagnation of dead
level happy married life may not he
any more to a strong mans advanta .ie
than n long course of stupid misunder-
standing. Milton bewailed the fact
that he could get freedom from martial
woes on no less ignoble grounds than
violating his marriage vows. Milton
did not get his freedom. His wife sat
on him, silent and insensate, and so
did her whole family OF seven persons
And his sharp cry made him the butt
of jibes and ieers innumerable. Milton
was an obscure school teacher and
clerk; but If any of those great men
who sought to humiliate and defeat
him are mentioned nowadays in his
tory 1t is only to say they lived in the
age of Milton His life ruined by u
woman'-pishl you flatter her; she
