Editor Topeka Advocate:-I greatly
admire the firm stand the Advocate has
taken in defense of the Peoples party
and its original platform of principles
prior TO the time it was disrupted and
debauched by dts connection with the
Old-time deceiver-the Democratic party
for it is plain to all Populists that
such has been the case. 1t has been
especially severely felt in the South and
States east of the Missouri river. Since
the reign of fusion began reform work
has practically ceased and we have no
medium middle ground upon which to
invite the attention Of those who would
otherwise naturally found home in our
organization.
In all probability the Populists Of
Kansas and Nebraska and Western
States where they are in the majority
do not realize the damaging position
this matter of fusion has placed us in,
and if there is not some way devised
TO plant us on firm footing free from
old party domination we had as we'll
abandon our effort to keep up our or
ganlzation and leave our members free
to choose between the very little differ
ence there now exists between the two
old twins or else refuse to exercise
their right of suffrage at all.
Yet, Mr.. Editor, after canvassing the
whole situation, there seems to me there
is yet way out Of the gloom, for the
recent campaign ought to convince any
one that we must look elsewhere than
to Organism and the Democratic party
for relief. 1t shows plainly that Bryan
is ready to compromise even the silver
portion Of the money question with
Tammany and Wall street politicians;
that had he been permitted he would
personally assist Tammany's choice for
Mayor of New York instead of great
grand man like Henry George.
The time has come for us to settle
on some able and efficient man, bring
him to the attention Of the people, and
/ am frank to say that my opinion Is
fully shared by hundreds of others when
/ mention the name of Governor Silas
A. Holcomb, of Nebraska, as the COM
ing man---the Moses who can lead us
out of the wilderness.
1t would give myself, as we'll as many
OF my fellow Populists, great pleasure
ii the editor of the Advocate would look
up his biography and the splendid rec
ord he has made since entering public
life, of which ex-senator PETER is per-
fectly familiar, and let his clean, pure
manhood, his able executive ability, be
placed before the people. / truly be-
lieve there Is no man in public life that
would command the universal respect
OF the whole people as much as Cow

Bluff.
Washington, Sept. 80 Dispatches
from Madrid confirms the belief that the
change in the Spanish cabinet has been
made to appear as colorless and unim-
portant an event as possible. The ap.
pearance of calm but poorly conceals
the real crisis. The Liberals want to re-
call Weyler, but they are afraid to
weaken the cause in Cuba and encourage
the insurgents. The news that the cabi-
net will ask more time to consider Wood
ford's mission confirms the idea that the
change is made to gain time. This coun-
try cannot refuse to comply.

Mighty Winds Do Great Damage in
Several States.
SERIOUS FATALITY IN ILLINOIS
Tornado Strikes the Farm Of the State
Institution For Feeble Minded, and
Four Persons Are Killed and
Several Injured, Two
Probably Fatally.

Lincoln, Ills, June 19. A tornado
which passed over the central and
southern portions of Logan county yes
terday afternoon destroyed thousands
Of dollars worth Of property and de-
molished an immense barn on the farm
Of the State Institution for the Feeble
Minded. Twenty-six persons seeking
refuge from the storm were buried in
the debris. Four of the refugees, boy
pupils from Chicago, were taken out
dead. Five others were severely in
jured, one of whom, the farm super
intendent, viii probably die. The dead
are Sylvester Baker, James O'Brien,
O'Neill Mackenzie and Castle Lebaron.
Injured: Jacob Wilmot, farm superin-
tendent, will probably die; Lemuel
Gleason, attendant, serious internal in
juries, may die; Henry Berger, William
Withem and William Fisher
At 3:45 the tornado was seen ap-
preaching the city from the south
west. The State Institution for the
Feeble Minded, containing over 700 in
mates, seemed to be directly In the
path of the storm, and stringent meas
ures were quickly taken to prevent a
panic. The roofs of several buildings
We're carried away, and much damage
was done about the grounds, but tie
700 inmates We're under perfect con-
troll of the attendants, and the threat
ened panic and great loss of life was
averted. The tornado passed on to the
northwest, touching next on the farm
and stock barns connected with the
asylum, three miles distant In the
| COW barn were huddled 26 persons, in
Guiding the superintendent of the farm
Jacob Wilmot "a pupils and an at
tendant. The barn was wrenched from
its foundations and torn to pieces
Four OF the pupils were instantly
killed The others, with the exception
of the superintendent, escaped serious
injury and were shortly rescued from
the debris.
The tornado passed on to the north
east, doing great damage, the extent Of
which is as yet unknown. The storm
divided into two sections, and covered
a wide territory. 1t is feared that the
loss Of life will be greatly enlarged
when reports are received from out
side the city.

Order OF Judge Bradley.
Washington. June 19.-John s. shrl-
yer, the correspondent of the New
York Mail and Express. yesterday was
declared not guilty of contempt in re-
fusing TO answer questions Of the SEN
ate committee in relation to the sugar
trust Investigation Mr. Shriver was
the fourth of the alleged recalcitrant
witnesses, Messrs. Havemeyer and
Bearles president and secretary Of the
American Sugar Refining company,
both having been discharged, while
Broker Elverton Chapman was con-
victed and served one month I'm Jail
Judge Bradley based his decision in
the Shriver case on two points, First
that the witness had not been legally
summoned and second, that the ques-
tion asked him was not pertinent. The
contention Of the defense that com
munications to newspaper men are
privileged as a class, the same as are
communications to priests, lawyers ana
physicians, the court refused to sus-
tain, but as the court did on the other
hand hold that to ask the witness the
name of his informant was not a perth
nent question, the counsel for the de-
fense now hold that a precedent is es-
tablished which virtually brings news
paper witnesses within the privileged
class.
The jury, also under orders from the
court, brought in a verdict of not
guilty in the case of e. ]. Edwards,
New York correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia Press, on trial on the same
charge as Shriver. The ground was
that Edwards never had been legally
summoned. District Attorney Davis
gave notice that he would call up the
cases of Brokers Mccartney and Sey-
mour the last Of the recusant wit
nesses, on Monday.
