POpu|ists Divided
National Committee Passes
on Membership and
Draws Lines.
paul Van pervoort Excluded Because
HIS Own State Did Not Reeog-
.nize Him.

OMAHA. June l7.-As early as 9
o'clock this morning Creighton hall
was astir. Most OF those attending
the Populist national committee
meeting were active in planning and
discussing the meeting TO follow. and
all recognized that hot time was
promised. An hour later Senator
Butler entered the room, and was
greeted with hearty applause. He
bowed to the right and left, moved to
the rostrum and pounded the table
with his knife. The buzz was fear
full, and the scraping of feet was as
the moving OF an army.
"The committee will come to
order" said the senate: in hIs cool
and solemn manner. Two or three
minutes elapsed, the shuttle and buzz
continued. "The committee will
come to order"
In moment all was quiet.
1--WE will hear the report from the
committee on credentials" said the
chairman,
Senator Allen presented the report
and called upon the committee secre-
tary, Mr.. Pomery, New Jersey, to read
il, as it was in his writing. Mr. Pom
cry mounted the stage and in word
told how the committee had labored
Yesterday, last night until midnight
and this morning, and urged that 10
future some definite plan be arranged
to avoid delay and labor The report
showed that there had been contests
in Arkansas, Floriday, Indiana, Hi
nois and Ohio. Twenty seven regular
committeemen we're present, and the
remainder were proxies.
The committee recommended

Municipal Matters
Disposed of by Council Last
Night.
Peace Reigned Supreme and Everybody
Was Happy.

The dove with the traditional olive
branch attended the meeting OF
city council last night. So did all the
members OF that august body, with
the exception Ct A. B. Buren, who Is
detained at Shasta Springs by the ILL.,
ness of his wife, Peace and harmony
were 20 thick in the council
chamber that those qualities could
be SLICED off with knife. 1t was
meeting of surprises, and everybody
was happy. Everybody's bills were
ordered paid and nobody resigned.
People who attended the session
hoping to see scrap between the two
factions of Republican law makers
were bitterly disappointed as the
best of good feeling prevailed and
the faces of the two men
who may be termed leaders
of the opposing factions, Messrs.
Smith and Parkhurst, fairly beamed
with brotherly love, and in the ex-
uberance of his happiness it was all
the Mayor could do, once or twice, to
refrain from shouting.
ALA CZAR REED,
1t was a business meeting too, and
the way different bills, accounts, or
dina noes and propositions were dis
posed of would have done Tom Reeds
soul good to witness.
Mayor Richardson and Recorder
Edes performed the usual prelimin-
airy exercises, and the committee or
ordinances reported back TO council

RIGHTS OF PEDESTRIANS.
The lawmakers evidently intend Il
preserve intact the few remaining
rights of pedestrians, from the oicyc
lists, and when the committee on or
dinances reported for the third read
ing the bicycle ordinance, the re
) corder read several petitions frou
: citizens asking that other sections q
different streets be included In tn
prescribed territory,
These were referred to the ordi
nance committee with instruction
to insert them in the ordinance whic

BEEN TO THE FLAG FACTORY
Then Mr.. Parkhurst told council
about visit of his TO the flag factory
10 Portland, where he obtained esti-
mates on flags of different sizes. All
the aldermen seemed to favor buying
a flag, but they don't know where to
put it after they get 1T.
TEN DAYS DEF,
Chief of Police A. G. Dilley sent 10
a communication asking that each
regular policeman be granted 10 days
vacation with full pay, no two police
men to be off duty at the same time
"That means 40 days of while the
city foots the bill" murmured MT
Smith but the vacations were allowed.

PLEA FOR UNITED FRONT.

mission from Almighty God to guide
such a body of Populists as we are"
was one of the sentiments of j. r,
Buchanan of Newark, N. j., who fol.
lowed Mr.. Burkitt on the floor. He ad-
ded that Senator Butler, and all other
leaders and members of the party,
had doubtless made mistakes, but 1T
was not today question of persons,
but of the policy of the party, Mr..
Burkitt had held a post mortem on
all the acts of the party, good, bad,
and Indifferent, since its organization
in 1892, all the while declaring that
he and the south wanted harmony
/ the southern members had come tc

change in the policy Of the party
but when they spoke through Mr.
Burkitt they suggested nothing ant

the craftsmanship of the committee
The national convention when it mel
was the body to make the platform
of the party and no other body shoul
control its action. The members fror
the south had exposed to the public
and to the enemy, the fact that tn
committee and the party was no
harmonious. The thing to do no'
was to get together. If tie sout
had changes in policy let it brin
them forward and they would be me
more than half way and let person

Communication Established.

WASHINGTON, June 22,-There was
important news at the war depart
ment when Secretary Alger reached
his Office. The transports with $4,000
troops, he was Informed, had arrived
safely off Santiago, and direct cable
communication had been established
between the United States and Guam
tauamo, where the United States
marines now hold position on Cuban
soil. Thus, not only is Blanco cut of
from communication with the outside
world, save through the Key West
cables within our contIol, but the
authorities 10 Washington have been
placed In close connection with our
forces, army and navy. which are con-
Quoting the invasion of Cuba.
The vessels that haYe arrived on
Santiago with troops on board, accord
ing to data supplied to the war de-
partment by General Shafter, number
with conveys 40 vessels. This is the
largest fleet that ever left the waters
of the United States for foreign
port.
1t is expected here that the trans
ports will remain of Santiago or per
haps nearer the exact landing point OF
the troops until Santiago has been
captured, when they will take aboard
the greater part Of the inyading army
II they can be spared from that local
ity and convey the troops 10 Porto
Rico TO effect the capture Of that
island.

mittee of the PUpulist party change
the rules so that one man eau hold
three proxies from his own state, and
that no man can bold any other prox-
les than from his,owu state.
The report was signed by William
V. Allen, Nebraska; A. II. Carlin,
Kentucky; John b. Buchanan, Louisi-
ana, and Ellwood Pomeroy, New
Jersey.
Senator Allen moved the adoption
of the report and the notion was
seconded, when Colonel Burkltt, Mis-
sissippi, moved an amendment, that |
Paul Van Deryoort's came be added,
representing Alabama as a proxy. He |
made a speech eulogizir g General Van |
DerVoorU, and grew eloquent as he
painted the character of Mr. Van
Dervoort. "I talk as southern man;
one who wore the gray, and one who
wears it still, but not for any foolish
sentiment, but because l love the
color, of one who wore the blue, and
who won honorable distinction in his
country's hour of need"
Congressman Barlow approached
Colonel Burkitt and asked him if
Mark Hanna werel present with
proxy if he would admit him. Colonel
Burkitt replied he would have to, but
would hate to do it.
Congressman Pomeroy said that no
man should be recognized as a CON-
mitteeman from another state, when
his own state refused to recognize
him.
W. S. Morgan stated that the con-
vention had recognized proxy from
Hugo Preyor, of Ohio. who had been
charged with corruption IN the Ohio
senatorial contest, and had been one
of three to have Republican money in
his possession. and had published in
newspaper some months ago that he
was no longer member of the Popu-
list party.
Mr.. Shilling, Wisconsin, defended
Preyor, stating that the check in
Preyor's possession was never cashed,
and that Preyor had assisted in the
exposure of the senatorial corruption,
VAN DERvooRT SHUT OUT.
Jo A. Parker moved the previous
question, and the vote was taken on
admitting General VanDervoort. The
U chair declaring the motion was lost a
division was called for.
The roll call ran evenly, the result
i stood 81 for and "a against. The chair
declared the vote and before the words
0 were out of his mouth Colonel Burkit
i was on his feet.
He spent one hour reviewing tn
history of the Popullst ty,the con
d ditions of the north and south, tn
e presidential election and said:
"Thirty-fve years ago we had
solid south and a solid north; nov
+ we have solid south and divide,

political history of the country, an
'e read the section of the Omaha plat
form in which it declares agains
. office holders, senators and congress
men being eligible to membership
the committee, "and here we ar

Provoked to Good Works.

Under present conditions it is very
necessary that church members be pro-
voked to good works. None has as yet
reached perfection. Too many are nat
nrally inclined to stop far short Of per-
lection. It is necessary to spur these on,
to encourage them to stir up the gift
that is in them, to encourage them in
every proper way, to inspire them by
holding before them high ideals-in
short, to provoke them to good works. -

The increase in the number of chap
tiers during the first few years Of the ex-
istence of the League was nothing less
than marvellous. It showed that there
existed need in the church for organi-
zation of the young life of the denomi-
nation. Necessarily in future there will
be fewer new chapters formed, but Wig
orous growth will appear in other forms.
District, state, conference and general
conference district work will receive
increasing attention. The various de-
partments in the local Leagues will be
more fully developed. The relations Of
the League to the other departments Of
the church will be more clearly defined
and more vigorously cultivated. Chap
tiers in neighboring churches will form
unions and circuits for mutual acquaint-
ance and helpfulness. Membership rolls
will be increased and individual MEM
bers trained in the lines of Christian
activity. What has been done better
prepares for the greater work still to be
accomplished.

Topic. Living Close to Christ.


SCRIPTURE READNa.-Math. vii, 4; Luke K.
SS-42.
It is easy to see how other folks might
do better. 1t is not so easy to keep from
telling them SO. Nearly every one likes
to help his neighbor, to this extent at
least.
It is not SO easy to see our own faults
and is still harder to correct them when
we are convinced of fault
The reality of Christian living is
nowhere shown more clearly than in
this. We are to be sSzere with our own
failings and patient in treating those of
other people. One must correct himself
first, then he may discover that the evil
he thought he saw in his brother was
really in himself
Mary was not more DESTROYS to honor
Jesus than was her sister Martha. But
she was more gifted in discernment of
understood the Master better than her
sister did, and SO gave her whole care
to His teaching She listened intently
and entered into His inner thought and
life more deeply perhaps than any other
one She kept close to Him that she
might understand the truth which so
filed Him and lived in His words.
Martha did not love Jesus less than
Mary. 1t was but in another way. She
had the carefulness Of thrifty house
wife for the physical comfort of her
guest. She was worried with the petty
details of the household arrangements.
Idleness was deeply irritating to her.
To see Mary, inattentive to the arrange
ments of the house for eating and sleep
ing and entirely absorbed in listening
to conversation, was more than she
could bear. It seemed to show lack of
kindness on the part of Mary toward
her sister. 1t also appeared as lack of
appreciation of Marthas fidelity on the
part of Jesus. Martha's rebuke Of this
Sinking and discourtesy was sharp and
direct. She learned from the Master
that her business and hustle about bodi.
~ comfort was not the best way to do
Him honor and win His favor.
Not the one who makes the most stir
in religious circles is always the truest
Christian. The one who does the most
fault finding is not usually the one who
lives closest to Christ. To know and
love and live near Him is the best way
in which we can serve Him.
