THE NAsHVlLLE CONFERENCES.

The conference Of POpulists at Nash
Vile, Tenn, called by q committee OF
the Reform Press Association, was held,
and report Of It's proceedings is pub
lished ON the first page Of the ADvo-
CATE this week. The address is printed
in full on page s,
The tone Of the address is patriotic,
and there ls nothing in il which ia notin
accord with Populist principles. The
conference was among Populists, the
address is by Populists to Populists,
and now that the event is behind us and
we look back upon its work, we can all
see that the object Of the leading minds
In the conference is not to destroy the
party by declaring war against its regu-
larly appointed officers, but to save the
party BY getting control, at the proper
time and in the proper way, Of the party

WHEN Kansas butter is shipped to
Boston and gives satisfaction to the fas-
tidious people there, good will ought to
be re-established between the Bay State
folks and the Jayhawkers. ASaIina dis
patch says the Belle Springs creamery
near that place from now on will make
regular shipments Of Salina butter to
Boston every Monday. Recently two
carloads Of 5000 pounds each were
shipped at one time. This would make
10000 pounds, which is worth here
$1,500. That value in corn would be
10000 bushels, and it would take prob
ably twenty cars to transport it to Bos.
ton.

RULE on THE LAW.BREAKERs.

Beginning with the administration Of
Governor Humphrey, violations Of the
liquor laws OF Kansas have been contin-
uonsly growing more general. Even in
Topeka, where it is we'll known an over
whelming majority OF the people favor
strict enforcement Of the law, it appears
that joints have been all along and are
now actively operating. There isno pre-
tense that the officers whose dutyit is to
enforce the laws are ignorant Of these
offenses nor that they are powerleas to
prevent them.
