A CAR LOAD OF FURNITURE. = On
last Friday Messrs s. Blum & Sons,
of Main Street, received from Evans
vile, Ind, 6 solid car load of furniture
weighing 21,100 lbs. The railroad
officials heie and the draymen who
handled the goods say. that as long
as they have been in their business,
they have not seen such a quantity OF
goods packed in car there was
not an inch of space wasted. Nessrs.
Blum & Sons can certainly be COM
%plimented for purchasing direct from
the factory III car load lots, as il
shows their faith in Thibodaux, and
its future as a little city. A town
is what its people and, principally, its
merchants make it.

KANSAS CRY, Feb 24.-The Reform

ing and send. them fraternal greeting.
Mickey withdrew his motion, saying
that events which had transpired made
the appointment of such a committee
unwise Then after some discussion a
comnittee of three were appointed to
draft telegram of inquiry to be sent
the Memphis convention. The COM
mittee retired and agreed upon the
following message:
To Hon. Frank Burkitt, President Ma
tional Reform Press Association, Mem,
phis, Tenn
The Populist editors assembled at Kan
sas City send a kindly greeting to their
brethren at Memphis. We are not in
favor of creating rival organization, but
are anxious to promote and preserve peace
and harmony in our ranks. We favor a
continuance of the policy under which
our party has made such rapid strides. A
change of tactics such as has been out
lined by some of our prominent members
would, in our judgment, be ruinous and
will force the organization of a rival press
association, breed discord in our ranks
and might possibly lead to the destruction
of the peoples party. For the welfare of
the cause we all have at heart, let us con.
tinue to pursue the program laid down at
T tho ic,o oh J,r-
national convention What will be your
test of membership? Will members who
join the organization at Memphis be re-
quired to sever all connection and co.
operation with free silver forces in
opposition to the policy adopted by our
national convention at St. Louis? Does
your proposition to empower your officers
to expel any member found advocating
the cause of any other party mean that
any member is to be expelled for advocat-
ing cooperation of the silver forces
In conclusion, we desire to repeat that
we desire unity we desire to join with
you, that there might not be two warning
organizations, but it must be on a basis
alike honorable to the Populist editors of
all sections; on basis of loyalty to the
Peoples party; on basis of support and
