The Advocate and news., 1898-08-17
The Vote on the Initiative and Refer.
endum.

The following paragraph has appeared
IN nearly every Republican paper in the
State: "The Populist Legislature OF
1887 voted down a resolution to submit
to the people a constitutional amend
ment providing for the initiative and
referendum" The language used in
each case is exactly the same and indi-
Gates that a concerted effort is being
made to make 1t appear that the Popu-
list party actually voted down one OF
the reforms which it has demanded
since it's organization. The statement
is at variance with the facts. Such a
resolution was considered by the Legis-
lature and was passed by the Senate,
receiving in that body twenty-nine
votes, every Populist and every Demo-
crat having voted for It. 1t having
passed the Senate by two-thirds vote,
was transmitted to the House, where it
failed to pass, by a vote of seyenty-six
to forty-one two-thirds majority is
required in both houses to submit a con-
stitutional amendment to the people.
The Populists not having that much
strength in the House were unable to
submit the resolution An analysis of
the vote shows that two Populists were
absent, one of them being in a hospital,
at which place he died a few months
later. Every Democrat in the House
except Tapscott voted for the resolution,
and in addition thereto Hackbush, Will
llams and Vogelgesang, all Republicans,
voted for it. If both of the Populists
who were absent, together with Tapscott
and the three Republicans, had all voted
for the resolution, it would have still
lacked five votes of the constitutional
two-thirds vote which is required.

The speaker spent some time in dis
cussing the pledges of the national Re-.
publican platform, taking up the Chal-
lenge Of the State platform, and strip
ping bare with the force of his unan-
swerabIe arguments. He spoke partic-
ularly on matters with which he has
been in touch In Congress, bringing up
the matter of pensions and treatment
of old soldiers, and the veterans in his
audience led a vigorous and continued
applause.

"They proceeded. All of them have

He then reviewed the history of his
fight on the companies and defended it
ably on legal and economical grounds.
Congressman Botkin, following up the
arguments Of the afternoon with some
clinchers that sent the people home
thinking.
"The intelligent and honest voter
wants to know what the candidate
stands for. l think 1t is proper for me
to say little tonight on what some
Of our candidates stand for l do not
know all of the candidates of the op-
position.
II am very well acquainted with Mr..
Stanley and 1 count him as one of my
personal friends, but he stands for some
things to which l am very much op-
posed" and he went on to show that
Stanley stood for the influences that are
undermining the liberty OF the people.
Mr. Botkin then read from speech of
Mr.. Stanley delivered at Wichita, Au-
gust 4, to prove that the Republican can
didate for Governor stands for the be-
lief that men are created equal and that
1t is not the business Of government to
go any further
"Now want to say" said Congress-
man Botkin, that stand for the belief
that 1t is the purpose Of the government
to insure equal opportunity to men. Mr..
Stanley says that 1t is only for the pur-
pose Of giving men an equal start in life,
and after that 1t is every man for him
self and the devil take the hindermost.'
I'm contrast to that l will place the
Declaration Of Independence. It says
that men are given certain inalienable
rights and that when a form of govern
ment becomes destructive of these rights
1t is the right, the duty of the people
to change or to abolish it.
Against that Mr.. Stanley stands, and
l will not aid to Office man who is in
that position"
Mr. Botkin then took up the Repub-
lican platform and said, in answer to
the charge Of unfulflled promises by
the POpulists, that the first chance his
party had had was by the election of
the Leedy administration.
81 do not forget the Lewelling admin
instration, because at that time the Re-
publicans controlled one house of the
Legislature" he said He named the
stock yards law, the fees and salary
law, and some Others and defed the
Republican speakers to talk on them.
How can you expect us to undo in
two years all the evil things you Repub-
licans have been doing for thirty
years?" he asked. "Give us little more
time and Wen accomplish all you need
done. You people will give us two years
more at the polls next November, for

A Great zooloa,cal Garden.

The Geological Society of New York
propose to construct what will probably
be the finest geological garden in the
world in Bronx Park, New York. The
society expects to open the garden to the
public in a satisfactory way on May list
1899. While the work is progressing
with all due rapidity, the old and we'll
approved plan of relieving biliousness
and constipation through the b%ene6cent
agency of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
finds general recognition. This excellent
family medicine is a safeguard against
malaria and rheumatism, and removes
indigestion and nervousness. 1t in
vigorates the system through improved
digestion, fortifes it against disease, and
counteracts the effects of overwork, men,
tai or physical.

A CRITICAL TINE
During the Battle
Of Santiago.
Sick or Well, a Rush
g and Day.

The Packers at the Battle Of Saatisso do
Cuba were oil Heroes. Their Heroic e.
forts In Getting Ammunitioa and Ratioas
to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d,
says. I'VE all had diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for it was
a case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and r%ations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, we were able to keep at work
and keep our health; in fact, l sincerely
believe that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect savior Of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads! that a wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in a supply Of this
medicine for u pack-train before we
left Tampa, and ! know in four cases it
absolutely saved life"

Sam Jones says: When God gives a
man a wife and six children he has done
a great deal for a fellow. But when he
gives him a society woman and a poodle
he has done him up. These society
women look on children as nuisance.
l have had some of the society women
shake hands with me; l had as soon
shake a dead fsh's tail. l wouldn't give
n of your ~sock-darning women for all
the society women in the country. Be-
tween cutting off the top of their dresses
for the ball room and the bottom for the
bicycle these society ONE will have no

woman, 4 hope I'll see more of YOU
She said, Come to the ball tonight
Some people say you shouldn't talk that
way before mixed audiences. Your old
sisters yea high collars close around
their necks-that's modest and comedy,
but deliver me from the society women
who button their collars around their
waists! You preachers don't talk that
way, do your You talk about the sweet

The Germsnla Life Insurance Company.

Established in 1860, it is the seventh
of the New York State Companies in
point of age, but to-day the fourth in
point of magnitude, having overtaken
and passed three other companies estab-
lished before it. &
While three older New York Compa-
MES exceed The Germania in size, it has
no superiors in any respect.
For every $1,000 of insurance in force
it has $500 of assets, while the cores
ponding figures of the three larger COM
panies are from $40 to SOL less.
Its expenses have averaged, during the
last five years, only 70 per cent of its in
come from investments, as compared to
90, 1903 and 100 per cent in the three
larger companies.

for a democratic county conven-
ton to be held on the 10th, one
day ahead of the republican con-
vention. Nh. Caldwell said that

of for the democratic ticket are:
Frank Lish for the house, Frank
Stone for sheriff, L. L. Lewis for
treasurer, E. Deffebach for regis

GREGORY AND BuRKHolDER.

A Washington dispatch of the 10th
says: Captain Chas. E. Gregory, of Troop
G, Third United States volunteer (Grigs-
by's) cavalry, and Lieutenant Danna
Burkholder, of the same troop, are still
in Washington. The former is a resident
at Fargo and the latter of Bismarck, N.
D. These gentlemen have been honora-
bly, discharged, but they are likely to be
in it again.
The Third Cavalry had all the hard
ships of camp life without any of the
glory of the Santiago or Porto Rican
campaigns, and the officers as we'll as a
large proportion of the men are willing
to get to the front even if they have to
perform garrison duty.
There are several vacancies in "im-
mune" regiments, so-called, and Captain
Gregory and Lieutenant Burkholder are
candidates for commissions in one of
these organizations.
1t is said tonight they have influence
enough behind them to secure the com.
missions and that they are likely to be
assigned to duty in the Sixth Volunteer
Infantry, which is now attached to the
Third Corps and located at Admission,
Ala.
The Sixth regiment, or at least a por-
ton Of it, is destined for duty in Cuba,
and the North Dakota men ~areIuuite will
ing to take chances in downing the yell
low jack in that island.
Lieutenant Burkholder remains in
Washington for the purpose Of bringing
suit for libel against The Cincinnati En-.
quirer, which paper recently chargedhim
with being under arrest and ordered be.
fore a courtmartial for crime. 1t is said
the story was without the slightest foun-
dation.
