NOT OUR OK THAT WAS GORED

NOT OUR OK THAT WAS GORED.
E. R. Lynch, Maj. Hotchkiss and few
others seem to have the erroneous idea
that the Representative desired the state
Populist convention to be held March
18th. Certainly the Representative has
been very outspoken on all questions Of
party principles or party policy An
examination of our files fails to show any
editorial utterance in favor of a March
convention or naming any other date
We have favored early party action,
early organization, Independent and ag-
gressive action and have persistently OPP
posed what we believed to be fusion of
corruption with purity. a union of the
lion with the lamb, an alliance between
good and evil. compromise with the
devil and have believed that such could
be best avoided by an early, vigorous and
Independent fight. We are satisfied with
the action Of Mr.. Gibbs and his commit
tee. We are satisfied that June 18th Is
a date that will meet the approval of a
majority of Minnesota Populists. The
Representative, Tom Watson's paper
Col. Norton's paper and Wayland's ap-
peal to reason reach too many Minnesota
homes to render our state a peaceful
abode for fusion
We have believed fusion fatal to any
reform even that of free silver. We
have honestly and earnestly so urged.
We have done so to the extent of being
called quarrelsome fighters, Lynch
says 'weepersO, but we have made no
fight beyond what seemed to us in the
interests Of Populism. All reforms come
out of fight and it is only the fighter
who wins. Columbus was persistent.
Lincoln never gave up to wrong, and
whenever reform party has comprom-
ised or listened to the fallacious argu
ments that fusion and cooperation was
necessary to success, that in union there
was strength, that reforms must go one
step at time, that half loaf was bet
ter than none and like sophistries, that
reform party has been politically showed
under. We sincerely believe that if the
Democrats and free silver Republicans
would abandon their corrupt and rotten
old machines, indorse direct legislation
and come over to us that we could see
parallel OF the reform march of 1860
md the greatest achievement of the CEN
fury.
With equal sincerity we believe that

The KlOndike SOn1,

The KlOndike Song.
Written for the Free Press Of America
by Monsisni.
The golden age has come at last
And we are in the swim,
From Florida to Behring Strait
All sing this golden hymn;
Alaska, Oh! Alaska, dear!
I'll get there If can,
There's nothing like the yellow stun
To cheer the heart OF man.
Ill sell out all have on earth.
To reach thy golden shore;
And. when I'm there, I'll have no care
But scoop out golden ore;
And when I'm back with a full sack,
I'll speculate on gain:
And live in style on my big pile
I've got by my great brain.
IT'S we'll enough to sing like this
For one man out Of ten,
But nine, at least, will come back home
A lot OF worsted men:
With character lost on the way,
Their jobs now others hold;
And all because they sought Klondike
Crazed with the love Of gold.
This craze for gold Is gilded vice
BY which men are denled,
From the golden calf Of Isreal
To the bonds Of Lord" Rothsohildi
1t ruins men and nations. too,
Gold metal stands for gain;
1t beats the record of all else
BY the number it has slain"
The merchandise Of Babylon
Is founded upon gold,
And kings and merchants Of the earth
Have slept within her fold
But when humanity awakes,
They'll wish their gold undug:
The most forsaken of all cranks.
Will be the darned gold-bug.

RULES FOR CAMP LIFE.
Surgeon General sternburg Issues a
Circular Of Medical Instructions.

Anticipating the service the army will
be called upon to perform in Cuba,
Surgeon General George NJ. Sternberg
of the army, has issued a circular OF
instruction to medical officers, giving
directions for obtaining the highest
sanitary conditions in camp life. The
circular contains these recommends
tions'
When practical camps should be es-
tablished on high and well-drained
ground not previously occupied.
Camps should be changed to fresh
ground every ten days or oftener.
sinks should be dug before a camp
is occupied or as soon after as practi-
cable. The surface of focal matter
should be covered with fresh earth or
quick lime or ashes three times day.
New sinks should be dug and old ones
filled when contents of old ones are two
feet from surface of ground.
Every man should be punished who
fails to make use of the sinks.
All kitchen refuse should be promptly
buried and perfect sanitary police
maintained.
Troops should drink only boiled or fill
tered water and coffee or tea (hot or
cold) except where spring water can be
obtained, which is pronounced to be
wholesome by a medical officer.
Whenever a case of yellow fever oc-
ours in camp the troops should be
promptly moved to fresh camping
ground located a mile or more from
the infected camp.
If it can be avoided marches should
not be made in the hottest part of the
day, from 10 a. m. to p. m.
When called upon for duty at night
or early in the morning a cup of hot
coffee should be taken.
1t is unsafe to eat heartily or drink
freely when greatly fatigued or over
heated. Ripe fruit may be eaten in
moderation, but green or overripe fruit
will give rise to bowel complaint. Food
should be thoroughly cooked and free
from fermentation or putrefactive
changes.
In decidedly malarious localities from
three to five grains Of quinine may be
taken in the early morning as a pro-
prylactic, but the taking of quinine as
routine practice should only be rec
commended under exceptional circum-
stances
Light wooden underclothing should be
worn, and when a soldiers clothing or
bedding becomes damp from exposure
to rain or heavy dew the first oppor-
tunity should be taken to dry it in the
sun or by fire.

Great lOoseness is frequently shown

days of the Spanish Armada and of

together, as chance placed them. Grad

so little chance against the large ones
that it was suicidal for the small fry
to pit themselves against the big fell

wasting their time and energy on such
inglorious victories. A separation took

Frank Rcsdsr - Ten
Questions Asked.

Easton, Pa, May 13.--Tonight's 8
speech was Mr. wanamaker's fifty
fifth since the campaign started. A
portion of his remarks were directed
against ex-Secretary Of the Common
wealth Frank Reeder, who lives here.
Mr.. Wanamaker. in referring to Gem
eral Reeder said:
Il have waited for fitting time to
take notice publicly of vile falsehoods
circulated in this community attrib-
uted to one individual and family who
owe me kindness for favors received
and not malicious slander.
Were the statements / have heard
second hand brought to me by any one
willing to be responsible for them, l
would prosecute to the fullest extrem-
ity Of the law. l deny them in toto,
and defy the slanderers, holding my
self ready to prove their falsity by
a jury of even an hundred unpicked
men,"
Continuing in his general remarks,
Mr.. Wanamaker made a number of
charges against what he termed the
Republican machine. Among these
charges were the following:
THAT the Republican party as at
present constituted is a most danger
Gus political trust, composed of two
national senators and twenty congress-
men and the large majority of 254 state
Legislators at Harrisburg, who, by die
tation, dispose of public moneys, enact
laws and choose administrators Of
them to the detriment of the public
welfare; that this political trust uses

the taxpayers and people generally:
that the audacity of this Pennsylvania
machine enters into consDiracies to
cripple the president of the United
States in his purposes in conducting
public business; that the service of self
respecting men is lost to the Rcpub-
lican party by vile misrepresentation
of reputable people. employment of bo-
gus detectives, Venomous falstt1ers, a
subsidized press and corspirators; that
the state funds have been and are now
sluandered through the processes con-
trolled by the machine; that the state
treasurer being named by the bosses,
who control his election, and who di-
rects the custody of the funds, endan-
gers the safCy of the states money as
proven by the recent developments of
the three failed banks IN Philadelphia
and West Chester"

one way or the other by your own
townsmen, that Recder, Elkins and

MIR. Wanamaker then asks Mr.. Reed
er to answer ten questions pertaining
TO the management of the last legisla-
ture.
He wanted to know what committees
on railroads and banks were formed by
consultation if not command of Phila-
delphia corporations.
In conclusion, Mr. Wanamaker said:
Il believe we are in grave peril. l defy
the quay machine to nominate w. a.
Stone for governor unless it wants the
disruption of the party. To act as if
nobody but the corporation Eivers and
the politicians had nothing to say about
it is to invite ruin. The key to inter-
nal unity of the party is to do some-
thing for the people"

Camp Daniel II. Hastings Mt. Gret-
ma, May 13.--GovernOr Hastings receiv-
ed courtesy" message from the War
department this afternoon advising him
that Major Paxsor had received in
structions for the colonies of seven
regiments as to details of their equip
ping and of the number of the depart
ment to move them to Chickamauga as
soon as they are ready to move.
Major PaXson said he could not give
out any of the particulars Of the in
structions in question until after he
had communicated to TIE colonels to
whom they were addressed. He assur-
ed me that no immediate importance in
the way of news attached to them.
The regiments affected are the seven
next succeeding the Fourth and Six
teenth in mastering in. The Thir-
teenth is one Of the six remaining regi-
ments concerning which the war de-
partment has not as yet expressed its
intentions, excepting as it's representa-
tive here, Major PaXson, has stated
that it will in all probability go to Flor
ida eventually with the rest of the di-
vision.

ORDERS AT MIDNIGHT

CURED to change those Intentions and
all I can say now is that nothing defin-
ite is known here as to when the Thir-
teenth will move or where they will
go.
My rough guess Is that It will be
eventually moved to Florida, but that
owing to the fact that the earlier regi-
ments to move will be given the arms
and accoutrements of the regiments
destined to remain behind for the pres
ent, the departure will be much farther
in the future than was first antici-
pated. The fact that five days food
was issued this morning to the Thir-
teenth is significant in this connection.
Another courtesy to the governor to-
day was the division review, the first
in many years and the largest ever
witnessed in the state. 1t was a re-
view Of the Pennsylvania volunteers
by the remnants of the National
Guard, which remnants consist of Gov
ernor Hastings, his four generals and
their respective staffs, and the Third
brigade band of Pottsville.
From o'clock until nearly the blue
river of hundreds coursed past the
state guard officers and the mere hand
full of spectators who were on hand
to assist at the hurriedly arranged
event, 1t was pathetic as well as an
inspiring spectacle, and one could not
help but entertain a feeling of SYM
pathy for the four generals who sat
there on their horses taking their last
farewell of the commands they had
labored a quarter of century to per-
feet and from which they had been so
inconsiderately divorced.
GOBLIN HAD TO RETIRE.
General Goblin was so affected by it
that he had to retire soon after his
brigade had passed, possibly forever,
from his view and this evening he is
confined to his quarters. When the
fifteen regulars and the remaining bat
terry and troop of cavalry had passed,
Governor Hastings made a touching
address to his generals in which he
complmented them on the grand show
ing made by the men whom they had
trained, and thanked them in the
service they had performed and ex-
pressed regret that they do not go out
at the heads of their commands, a re-
gret, he said, which fathers, mothers
and all Pennsylvania volunteer army
shared in. He had urged their appoint
ment upon the president and yet hoped
they would be recognized.
When he concluded with a fervent
'od Bless the National Guard of Penn
sylVania" there was a solemn Amen"
from the assembled multitude and the
next minute it broke forth into wild
hurrahs for the governor, the generals
the guard and the flag.
Keneral Snowden and General Wiley
responded briefly substantially in SIM
liar terms and to the effect that while
they regretted being denied tn privl-
lege and honor of going to the front
at the head of their men, they were
assured hat the sons Of Pennsylvania
would give glorious account Of them
selves, no matter what general might
command them,
The governor and the generals of the
guard will break camp at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning and return to their
homes. overnOr Hastings formally
communicated to the president this af-
ternoOn notice that Pennsylvania
quota of l0,S6O men were ready and
waiting his orders. 7. j. Duffy.
