Whereas, The National Reform
Press Association, which is in close
and continuous touch with the great
body of our voters and is quick to feel
the effects of impaired confidence in
the future of the party, after prolonged
discussion marked by deep solicitude,
and with mature elaboration, has is
sued call for National Conference to
be held at Nashville, Tennessee, July
4, 1897, for the purpose of promoting
harmony and securing unity of ac-
ton as to party policy by clearly de-
fning the duty of Populists under pre-
sent chaotic political conditions in all
the parties of our country, therefore
be it
Resolved By the members of the
party of San Francisco, as an ex-
preston of our most profound convic-
tons, that we do most heartily approve
of the holding of the proposed National
Conference at Nashville, July 4, for the
purpose set forth in the foregoing pre-
amble, and that the County Committee
meet on Saturday evening, June II, in
viting active populists of the city to be
present and unite with the Committee,
to choose delegates to attend such Ma
tional Conference and to take such fur
Their action as the meeting may deter
mine; and be it
Resolved, That we urge the consider
alton by said meeting of the wisdom
and propriety of instructing delegates
so chosen to present resolutions to such
National Conference providing for the
adoption by the Peoples Party of the
principles of direct legislation as the
fundamental law of the party for it's
government and procedure in all par
ty notion, and specially embracing the
| action of National, State, County and
| Municipal conventions, and likewise
the action of National, State, County
| and muniqal committees, to the end
that the purity and intregity of the
party may always be maintained by
| never permitting it or any Of it's minor
| parts to fall under the malign control
of party bosses or self-styled official
leaders" through the perverted use of
the political organization as a party
machine; and also for the adoption of
the imperative mandates to provide for
the removal for just cauese of any mem
Der or official of a National, State,
| County Or municipal committee from
such membership or official position;
and be it further
| Resolved, That said meeting be
urged to instruct the delegates chosen
to present to the National Conference
resolution in favor of the re-affirma-
ton Of the fundamental law. which
was adopted by the party at Omaha,
| prohibiting any officeholder, National,

seated as a delegate in any convention
whatsoever of the Pople's party.

Where Is Heaven.

Where Is Heaven.s
Two little children, weeping sore,
Went wandering slowly down the
Poor waits upon LIES stormy shore =
With shivering forms and naked feet.
And when they met me, as they saw
Their woe had touched my sympa-
thies,
The Oldest turned to me and cried:
"Oh, do you know where Heaven is?
"Our father died year ago,
And mother told us, when he died
That he had crossed river deep,
And Heaven was on the other side
And when we asked her where he was,
She always said: In Heaven know
And told us we could go to him.
Oh, tell us, tell us where to go!
Dear mother died a week ago,
And Robbie cries for her all day,
We want to go where mother is.
Is heaven so very far away?"
vi, paint OF lltt3e SOETOWlnS neartS!
Earth's universal cry is this,
That you've so early learned to ask:
Who knows, who knows where
Heaven is?
Poor little seekers after Heaven!
Poor little waits on life's bleak shore!
Some day your feet will find the way
That gives you back your lost once
more.
The only answer cah give
To any question such as this,
From those who misaa mothers face,
Is, Heaven is where that mother is.
