OMAHA. Neb., July 42.-There is trou-
BILE among the fusion Pops out here.
The treasurer Of! the state cam
paign committee has, made his re-
port. From this report It seems the
Pops raised all the funds for literature
and work. while the Silver Republicans
had no coin to spare, and the Democrats,
who got all the jobs, put up just $3.50
against the Populist fund Of over 81, 900.
The committee assessed every Office
holder in sight, and absorbed Bryau's
81 gift like whale would swallow a
minnow. Most of the leaders took big
slices Of the campaign fund for per.

their assessments. The pot is boiling,

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP IN KANSAS.

The Popu1ists of Kansas have made a
long stride toward the socialist ideal.
The state platform demands the initia-
tive and referendum and proportional
representation; the public ownership Of
all public utilities, and ownership and
operation of all monopolies; that the
state shall establish stock yards and fur
nish the people an open public market
at cost OF operation; that the state shall
provide fire and life insurance as a
state function at COST that a constitu-
tional convention be convened to change
the organic law that these demands may
be put in operation; that railroad COM
missioners be elected instead of appoint
ed, and be given power over rates and
classification, and compel full public re-
ports from railroads; the extension of
the school text book law to all school
supplies; making county clerks offices
free public employment agencies; a law
making tho bureau of labor and stats
tics an Independent department Of the
state government; revision OF the min
ing laws to the end that it may be safer
for the miners to work and more dan
gerous for the operators to disobey; a
law making wages prior lien to all
attachments or mortgages; denounces
bond issues and demands increase in
pay of privates in army; favors pen
sions; demands immediate abolition Of
the metropolitan police system: de-
nounces the Republican congress for
voting against the income and corpora
ton tax The present state officers were
renominated. The Democratic state
convention Endorsed the ticket, platform
and all. 1t is apparent that the Pops of
Kansas are irrevocably committed to the
theory of public ownership, and that in
this state, at least, the Democrats have
not absorbed them. -

THE TWINE QUESTION.

A Comprehensive Letter From Eric
Fairfax, Mimi, July IL, '98.
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly:-
Did the Republican officers spin Irvine
to pay their salary?
In 1889 the F. A. pushed the legisla-
ture to appropriate $4,000 for twine
plant. In 1890 the F. A. scared Gov.
Merriam to put it in. We did "bust" the
Irvine trust. In 1896 the machine men
sustained the Republican ticket from
top to bottom and of course were paid
for it with Irvine profits in 1897. They
satisfied with $1,000 net profit on 3d.
900 pound carload in 1897. For the year
1898 it is said that 100000 pounds Of
twine were made by Minnesota convicts,
for use by Minnesota farmers. for
one have used it every year. This year
I was called up February II and re-
quested to order Irvine. May IL was
notified that the price was 61s cents per
pound for carload lots payable next
November), and cents per pound in
smaller lots cash, my order was filled
for $500 pounds June 13, 1898. My
brother visited Saltwater June II and
bought Irvine for cash. Ny neighbor
sent in his money June 10 and it was
returned June 20. Why? Because the
Republican machine had sold the Irvine
manufactured for the farmers to the
Irvine trust. Of course the Irvine trust
charged from to Is cents per pound for
the Irvine that cost them 6% cents per
pound laid down at their stations From
2 to cents per pound net profit, above
cost of work to distribute. $1,000 to
$4,000 on a $4,000 pound car for which
the state will get November I, 1898,
$3,25O. If farmers can't see the con-
spiracy between the governor and his
five puppets,party of the first part, and the
twine trust, party of the second part,
am very much mistaken in the intelli-
gence Of American citizens. If they do
not relieve the Irvine thieves from boss
ing Minnesota affairs in January 1899 it
will be simply because our Populist

Space alone will not permit our CIV

tracts for, is a philanthropist and his

classed among these few.

ADJUSTMENTS.

If any one has any doubt whatever
as to how the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor, or as to who was
guilty of the deed, such doubt will be
dissipated by a visit to the Orpheum
this evening, when Jossey & Marvin s
melodrama THE Signal Of Liberty
will be played for the last time. The
piece is wonderfully lurid. 1t is the
first of the late war dramas; big guns,
love, villainy, soldiers, blue jackets,
marines, Cubans, Americans and Span
iards. battleships, explosions. naval
pursuits, plots of treachery, attempted
assassination, heroic rescues, hand-to-
hand confiicts-these are the features
Of the play. There is much fine scenery
though the placement Of it calls for
some lively stretches Of fancy and a
deal OF allowance for melodramatic
license. The blowing up of the Maine
is good dioramic effect; so, too is the
arrival Of the Maine and the panorama
of the destruction Of Cervera's fleet IS
excellent. The play is we'll read and
acted, the people being capable
throughout. Patriotic utterances over
flow their lips and "Old Glory" and
American heroism are the texts of their
lines AS a result the audience is kept
in an uproar Of applause for the flag
and the republic
