HISTORICAL and descriptive of the present
work of the movement 1t says that
there are a quarter of a million white
ribboners in the United States, with a
direct following of as many more, to say
nothing of the children and male helpers.
The kernel of the appeal is found in the
closing paragraph, which sets forth that
Notwithstanding the large membership,
the work is sadly crippled for lack of
means, and that the need of funds is not
only Imperative but Immediate. The
membership receipts of the National NNo-
mans Christian Temperance Union last
year were in the neighborhood of $2S, coo,
or about II cents per head for the quar-

Christians, patriots and lovers of human

means of memberships, subscriptions or

means organized motherhood

shelter to the heartbroken, the tempted

concerning the same from pamphlets sent
her by General Passenger Agent G. S. Fee
of the Northern Pacific. She Travelled
from town to town for months, catching
the dollars of gullible people. They at
tended an Adventist camp meeting here

but she now claims it was not genuine.
She stated that she frequently urged mar

serted she was too young.
When asked by a reporter how thew

produced a bogus marriage certificate,
which had been written by Mcdonald. She
blames her home Influences for her con-

THE POPULIsTs ISSUE AN ADDRFss
NO Tariff Legislation Cam bring Gem
eraI Prosperity

Washington. March ga joint caucus
OF the populist members of the senate
ana house was held this evening to dis
cuss the course of that party toward the
tariff Dill. AS a result an address was
issued which says that the tariff has been
the battledcor and shuttlecock of politics
for more than 100 years, and it's final set
tlement is more distant than when the
controversy began. The country it
states, mas always experienced hard times
When there was a contraction of the
money volume, no matter whether the
tariff was high or low. The address de
clares that all previous tariff legislation
and the bill now pending contain many
unjust determinations working hardships
on some and unreasonably fostering 9TH
efs. The treasury deficiency is credited
to the decision of the supreme court
against the income tax law, and the most
direct and efficient method of supplying
the deficiency, it is claimed, would be
remoneJization of silver. In conclusion,
1t says that if the populists refrain from
voting for or against the Dingley bill on
it's final passage, it will be to avoid even
the appearance Of promoting the contin-
uance of the tariff agitation to sidetrack
the vital and overshadowng questions of
financial and monopoly reforms, and also |
to avoid giving countenance to the con-
LenUon that any tariff legislation, how
ever wise and just, could remove existing
evils and bring general prosperity |

IN regard to the traffic association CUES

THE Union Pacific has ignored the ex-

matter of formal withdrawal from all
such associations we believe to be imua-
ter1al. since if the associations are illegal

THE POSITION OF THE POPULIsTS.
Mr. Simpson offered Amendment

Mr.. Simpson offered Amendments
and Read Long Statement.
Mr.. Simpson at this juncture offered
some amendments, which were ruled out
of order. He also read a long statement
which he said defined the position of Tie
populists toward the tariff. 1T states in
effect that the tariff has been the football
OF politics for a century. and that popu-
lists had no faith in the ability Of either
the republican or democratic tariff law to
remedy the evils Of the existing gold STAN
dard.
Mr.. Mccall was the first republican TO
slap the bill in the face. He boldly ex
pressed the opinion that the duties in
the bill were too high. He especially
mentioned wool. The democrats forth
with became much interested.
Are the duties on woolens manufac-
tured in New England too high?" asked
Mr. Hopkins republican, of Illinois.
Mr. Mccall at first evaded a direct re-
ply. But I do not hesitate to state he
continued, "that the duties in this bill
are higher than necessary for the just
purpose Of protection.'

Hopkins. Il insist upon an answer to
