The catfish trade il this city has
grown to be an immense business.
There is q mar living IN a shanty boat
near the bayou that makes a speciality
of shipments of fresh catfish on ice,
sending them to. the prairie sections Of
Texas, and reaplng a handsome profit.
Fishermen catch the fish, bring them
in tanks to the bayou, where they sell
them alive to the shipper. The fish
are beheaded, skinned and carefully
packed in ice boxes and barrels, and
shipped by rail to different points in
Texas and elsewhere. With push and

LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 1.-Joseph A. Edgerton, secretary of the peoples independent party, has issued an ad- dress in reply to the one recently made public by National Committeeman G. F. Washburn, of Massachusetts. MT. Washburn recommends that the popu- lists drop the fight for silver and take up government ownership of railroads
 Edgerton says no change is needed in policy, as these questions are identical in the populists' general plan. He says the silver issue must not be abandoned.

Populist Editors wiu Hold a Meeting in

 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 30.-Rumors of a still further split in the ranks of the popu- list party were verified last night when A. Rozelle, secretary and treasurer of the National Reform Press association, issued numerously signed call for a meeting at Kansas City, Mo-, Febru- ary 22. This meeting will be in direct opposition to one which President Van dervoort has called for the same date at Memphis, Tenn. Following the call is statement that the present Nation al Reform Press association has dimin- ished in membership until it has ceased to be representative body and is run by men who have been repudi- ated by the party. This last is taken to be side shot at Coxey, and it is hinted that the main purpose of the Kansas City meeting is to shut out the Massillon reformer. When Coxey was here some weeks ago with his trump convention" he adjourned it to meet again in Memphis, February 22. The Rozelle party claims following of 90 per cent. of the populist editors and in- sinuates that if Coxey goes to Memphis he will meet another frost.

National Association of Manufacturers Ask
 That the Tariff Be Changed.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2S.-At the meet ing of the National Association of Manufacturers in this city yesterday, the committee on resolutions presented the following:
 Resolved. That 1t is the sense of the National Association of Manufacturers that the tarin law should be revised at the earliest possible moment in order that uncertainty may be re- moved, confidence restored and business per- mitted to revive.
 Q oResolved, That rates of duty should be made as low as possible consistent with adequate protection of our manufacturing and agricul- tural industries and the labor they employ. The tariif should contain only specific duties or mixed ad yalormem and specific duties
 Resolved, That congress should be invited to re-establish and extend the system of reci- procity, which may be employed to secure for us tarif favors in Latin American and other markets. in which we are the largest buyers. while Europe is the preferred seller solely be- cause of the lower wage rates and the lower general costs of product in European countries.
 The debate that followed hinged en- tirely on the words in the second para graph of the resolutions, ''as low as possible" The question of eliminat- the words was argued pro and con un- til matters were adjusted by the sub stitution of the words "such as shall be consistent, etc." The vote on this was 75 for and 5l against. The entire report, as amended, was adopted unanimously.

that the national organization should control state campaigns where the na- tional association gives aid. National workers say that state workers in the new states who have not had ex- perience do not know how to run a campaign as well as the national workers, who have been through it in other states. Miss Anthony declared she would never take hard earned money contributed for this purpose into state campaigns unless she could control the campaign. The person who contributes money controls the campaign nowadays, she said. At the afternoon session the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Susan B. Anthony; vice president-at- large, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, Phila- delphia; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Rachael Foster Avery, Philadelphia. All these were re-elections.

A Committee Report Represents a Serious
 State of Affairs at an Agency.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Senator Petit grew, from the committee on Indian affairs, yesterday presented the report of the subcommittee appointed to visit and investigate affairs at the Osage In. dian agency in the Indian territory. The report was made by Senator Allen, and represents such serious condition of affairs that the report of the full committee recommends continuance of the investigation. The report says the Indians are fleeced by the licensed traders, and that the agent seems to con. slider it his duty to protect these traders from competition with the border trad. CTS, who are willing to sell goods at half the price the licensed traders charge, which charge the report char acterizcs as ''eXorbitant in the eX. treme." It is represented that an In. dian who once gets into debt to the license holders is never able to pay out, and no steps are taken to protect him.
