KANSAS POPULIsM.

Since the split in the Populist party
in Kansas, which split caused tia de
feat of the party there in the recon
election, some of the old party paperf
are again getting eff that hoary ole
yarn about the Populist party being
dead-''dead even il Kansas" they
say.
Nevertheless the Populists will have
the control of the Senate. And tt
head off adverse legislation by thu
new Legislature, the P5pulistG overnoi
will call an extra session, at once, tc
pass the following measures: :
To establish a State liz france de
partment to provide the people with
cheap fire insurance.
To establish State stock yards to fur.
nish accommodation to stockmen at
half the rate now charged.
To create a State railroad commits
sion to reduce freight and pas senger
rates from time to time, such comm g.
sion to ba appointed by Gov. Leedy Sor
four years and confirmed by the Pop
ulist Senate.
To estabj isa a State printing office.
To abolish 200 Or more appointive
eff 2ee.
And as to the death of Populism in
Kansas, the Topeka Advocate says:
Populism was never more alive than
just at this time. There is going to be
a getting back to and a broadening out
on first principles shat will shake UP
the earth around the Republican party
and bring it's snout out OF the mire
with a grunt Of establishment. The
frmer you think you have a Populist
down the surer he 10 to get on his feet
that's what made Populism in the
first place.
IF a whole lot Of ref 1rmers are to
go into one of the reform parties for
the sake Of unity it seems most fitting
that they should come into the Peoples
party. The Democratic party does not
know where it is at nationally, while
the Peoples party stands as a haven
between the conservatism of olG-.ime
Democrats and the RI dicalism of ne
time Socialists"

When / consider the situation, I al
ways think: What fools we mortals
be-" did want our conventions held
early two years ago and let voters come
to US from both sides, which they
would have done if we had staid in
our places. Tt was, to say the least, a
mistake. Now, I say any party that
will start out on sound and true prin.
ciples as we did, and then fuse with
other parties that are in rank opDosi-
tion to US and hat are trying in every
way to break us down, ought to be
thrown into the ditch. l voted the
fnsion ticket because / saw no way TO
get around it under the circumstances,
but if the Lord will forgive me, I will
do so no more. 1 believe if we had
staid in our places we would have been
the strongest party in the field to-day,
and in 1900 we would have driven both
old parties together and beat them.
But let US not give up, but start atresh
and profit by past experience. IG will

I advocated Populist principles long
before the party was conceived, and /
shall cherish them as long as l live.

New York, April 17.-Rochelle Demetro
Brooklyn Bridge into the river early this
morning. 1t is very improbable that his
injuries viii prove fatal. Rochelle says
that he is thirty-two years old, Russian
and cook. From remark which he let
fall ii is surmised that a woman is the
cause of his adventurous leap.
At a few minutes before 6 o'clock the
tug Bella McWilliams was on her way to
her pier. Michael Shannon, the first
mate, was on deck, and, looking aloft as
the boat approached the bridge, he saw
the Russian ready to make a leap into
the water, nearly 200 feet below. He yell
ed to the man not to jump but the fellow
paid no attention to him and jumped. For
a few seconds the dark body came down
straightNet foremost. 1t turned turned
again, snI0te the water with a resounding
whack and sent a small fountain spurt-
ing into the air within a few yards of
the tug. Presently a dark object came up
and fioated few turns of the tugs
screw brought the body within reach of
a boat hook, with which Shannon hauled
it in. The man, when laid out on the
deck, moaned and wriggled. At the dock
a policeman was summoned.
What did you jump for?' the police
man asked him. but he only muttered in
distinctly. Just before an ambulance ar
rived, however, he said clearly enough:
Il told that id girl ! would jump off"
AT the hospital the doctors SAID that
Demetro was suffering from shock and
general contusions. So far as they could
tell there was no serious injury, and the
man would recover. He was not in condi-

While several men were fishing in

discovered the badly decomposed re-
mains Of a man floating in the water
They secured the body to the shore with
