WAITE JOINS THE DEBS CROWD
SIGNIFICANT SPEECH OF COLO
RADIOS 100000.
Doubts Whether Populism Can Be
Saved and Believes In Uniting
With Social Democracy.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 12.-At a joint
meeting here today of the Debs Social
Democracy and the Socialist Labor
Party clubs, strong Populist addresses
were made by G. c. Clemens, the
supreme court reporter of Kansas, a
leader in his party, and Ex-Governor
Waite, of Colorado. Clemens speech
was rabid. He said in part:
THE liberty of the American people
is without comparison. Honest, now,
L would hate to curtail this liberty we
enjoy today. 1t is perfectly lawful to
shoot men down on the public highway
shoot them down in the back, too.
The negro slavery was q blessing to
what we enjoy today. He had a price,
was worth $1,000 or $4,000, and had to
be clothed and fed. He was cared for
and nursed when sick like a faithful
horse. But look today. The American
laborer goes from door to door begging
people to give him a chance to earn a.
meal, even enough to keep the spark
of life in his almost naked body
Comparatively, Governor Waite's
address was mild. He began by say
ing he represented the peoples party.
There is a crisis in that party to-
day." he said. There has been an
organized attempt to destroy that
party and it has largely succeeded.
Where is the Populist party? It is
like a ship started on grand cruise
on the. ocean that has been deserted
by its trusted officers after being
looted. It's last national convention
was held after the conventions of the
other two parties despite the will and
the wish of the vast majority of it's
n
adopted the Chicago platform because,
as it was given out then, it stood on
the Omaha platform. Does the Chi
cago platform stand upon the Omahha
platform? / say it does not, and our
party was led to throw away it's
principles.
What is cur duty?" asked the ven
cradle speaker, pausing. Can the or
ganiZation of the Populists be saved? l
know not. l venture on no prediction.
God Grant wisdom to those patriotic
members of the Populist party who are
tc. meet IN St Louis on the 18th of
January. Where are we, who hold our
principles dear, to turn? For myself,
[ know nothing in the history of the
Democratic party that warrants any
general confidence It's record is as
foul as that of it's Republican twin.
IF it is best that the Populist party
should go outside it's own organiza-
ton to unite with others, who, in good
faith, have adopted the principles Of
the Omaha platform, and are in SYM
pathy with the highest aspirations of
the PEOPLES party, why not have a
union OF the organizations that are
agreed?"
Ex-Governor Waite will go to Texas
tomorrow or Wednesday, to look after
the interests of his colony.

NO ITALIAN CABINET.
Facts Leading Up to the Present
italian Crisis.

Rome, Dec. 12.-Midnight.-An official
note announces that the Marquis di Ru-
DIM, having so far failed to form a
cabinet, visited King Humbert at II
o'clock tonight to acquaint his majesty
with the state of affairs. The late cab
met, headed by Di Rudini. resigned on
Sunday last, following the resignation
of General Pellfeux. the minister of
war, as a protest against the action of
parliament in amending, contrary to
his advice, e bill dealing with army
promotions. It was well understood,
however, that the Interior reason for
the retirement of the full cabinet was
the belief that such a course was ne
cessary to make it possible for the
Marquis di RUdini to eliminate certain
irreconcilable elements and to secure a
ministry that would be unanimous.
The success of Di Rudini has been
prejudiced by the hesitation of the Mar
quis Venosta, minister Of foreign af-
fairs in the late ministry, to accept the
foreign portfolio in the reconstructed
cabinet, which, it had been understood,
would include Senior Senardelli.
IN a dispatch from Rome to the As
sociated Press on Friday last it was
asserted that the Marquis di Rudini
had completed the task of reconstruc-
ton of the cabinet, Marquis Viseonti
Venesto having accepted the foreign
Office portfolio, and that the list of the
members of the new ministry would be
officially issued on the following day
Saturday.

GOLFERS APPOINTMENT.
The appointment of R. V. Cazier to
be United States district attorney has
raised a howl. A good many Repub-
leans thought the place should have
gone 10 John T. Morrison, who had
the temerity to run for congress on
the Mckinley ticket last fall; but Mr..
Cazier was speaker of the house when
Senator Shoup was elected, and as such
rendered valuable service in the ad-
vancement of the senator's campaign.

CRIMES OF A CREOLE PARISH
TWO AssAssINArToNs SCORED
IN ONE WEEK.
Last One Is S. B. Mullen, Stranger,
Shot From Behind While Standing
In Hotel Gallery.

Amite City, La, Dec. 12.-Another as
sassination. the second in week, has
been placed to the record for Tangipoiha
parish. This evening. in the full glare of
the hotel lights, S. B. Mullen, q stranger,
was shot to death. He was standing on
the hotel gallery and the assassin shot
him from behind. There were two shots
fired, one of which penetrated the brain.
Immediately large crowd gathered and
the greatest excitement prevailed Sheriff
Edwards was notified and organized a
posse.
AS soon as the moon rises bloodhounds
will take up the trail OF the guilty parties.
Why Mullen was shot is as yet a mys-
terry. He is an entire stranger here and
could hardly have had any connection
with any of the murders hereabouts.
Some people are under the impression
that the man had enemies at his home
who followed him here and murdered him.
Others are of the opinion that the man
was Il detective and came here for the
purpose of working up some case.

GREAT DUMBBELL FEAT.
What Hans Frohman Did In New
York Yesterday.

New York. Dec. 13.-Hans Frohman
''curled" q pair of dumb-bells 14,000 times
in one hour and IS minutes.

word and started off at q speedy clip. He
pleted his first 1000 in seven minutes.
Frohman did his second 600 in six min
utes. which he equalled on his tenth 1,00O
but the others ranged from seven to nine
minutes. He completed his eighth 1000
in 80 minutes, and finished 1900 lifts in
one hour and 30 minutes.
Then it was proposed that Frohman
stop there, but the athlete insisted on
continuing to the END. and executed the
the curl of 1900 at 5:15 or just one hour
and 40 minutes from the time he started.
In order to show that the feat had not
affected him unpleasantly, Frohman pro-
ceeded to move some heavy weights about
in an extremely free and easy manner.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-The United
Labor League this afternoon passed a
resolution authorizing the officers of
the league to send a protest to Presi-
dent Mckinley against the appoint
ment of ex-Chief Justice Paxson as a
member of the Interstate commerce
commission.
The grounds for the protest grew
out of an opinion rendered by Mr..
Paxson when he was chief justice of
the supreme court Of this state, in re-
lation to the Homestead strike. The
protest viii state that Mr.. Paxson' s
appointment will be an insult, not alone
10 the organized labor interest, but to

agreed to, personalities were exchanged
with SO much liberality that the pre-

HAYTIEN MINISTRY RESIGN.
But This Incident Does Not Worry
Port gu Prince.

Port au Prince, Dec. 12.-The entire
ministry has resigned. AS yet the
composition of its successor has not
been definitely settled, but several well
known men are mentioned that will
command the confidence of Haytiens
and foreigners alike.
This morning, after attending mass
at Notre Dame, President Sam made
a circuit of the city on horseback, es-
corted by his staff of officers, but
without special military display. The
city has now resumed its normal as
pect.
New York, Dec 1S.-No surprise is
felt in state department circles at
Washington over the news of the resig-
nation of the Haytien ministry, says
the correspondent of the Herald
Commander B. H. McCalla, command
ing the Marblehead, in a message to
Secretary Long, stated that there was
grave danger of the fall of the minis
try. Minister Leger, the representa-
tive of Hayti, had no information in
regard to the ministry's resignation
last night, nor did he expect official
advices until the appointment of the
new ministry.
L nave not received any news con-
corning the ministry's resignation he
said, but I am not surprised at the
information. You will remember that
I said before Lueders' indemnity was
paid that such action would mean the
ministry's downfall. The people of
Hayti have been very much excited
over the German controversy, and /
knew they would hold the ministry re-
sponsible for compliance with the Ger
man demands in the manner followed
president Sam will now begin the
formation of a new ministry. There
are no political parties in Hayti the
factions which existed having united
some time ago. The president will now
consult expect. the leading members
of the senate and the house of repre-
sentatives, and upon their advice will
select members for the new ministry.
1 think the downfall of the ministry
will close the incident. While the
people of Hayti are greatly excited, |
do not believe there is the slightest
ground for believing that there will be
