THEY srAH6 UP FOR PRINCIPLE,

Dispatches from Washington, D c.,
state that a caucus of the Populist
members of the House of Representa-
tives was held there December 10th.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously, except that referring to
civil service:
"ReSOlUed, That it is the sense of
this caucus that we will resist all efforts
to so modify the existing civil service
laws as to enable any party that may
be in power to fill the different posi-
tions in civil service with partisans.
2 THAT we are opposed to and will
resist all eff rts to destroy greenbacks
and Treasury notes, whether it be by
direct legislation Dr. by the ~subterfuge
of refusing to reissue the same except
in exchange for gold.
8. THAT we are opposed to any
scheme of charging the powersof ma,
tional banks. That we oppose the con
ferring the power to issue notes design
ed to have the same functions as
money to any bank, corporation or in.
dividual.
4 "That we favor the early con-
sideration and passage Of the joint reso.

luton recognizing the independence of
the Cuban republic.
5 THAT we are in favor Of the early
passage of an equitable voluntary
bankruptcy bill"
This is a good platform. We expect
some good work from the valiant little
band of Populists before Congress ad-
iournes. Keep you eye on them. They
don't fear watching.

candidate received los, 600 votes. In
1894, they had dwindled down to 1853,
