Peopl e's Party Platform.

Following is the platform adopted by
the Peoples Party convention of South
Dakota, at Aberdeen, June -, 1898:
The Peoples Party OF South Dakota
triumphantly reatirms its allegiance to
the fundamental principles enunciated
in the Omaha and ST. Louis platforms
We distinctly reatfirm our position in
favor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l and our
unalterable opposition to the issue Of
interest bearing bonds in time OF peace
or war.
We are opposed to banks Of issue and
by the government.
We demand the passage Of the free
homes bill and condemn the opposition
is that measure by the national Reput-
lican managers. and their failure to re-
deem this pledge in the st. Louis plat
form. We approve OF the val now being
waged in behalf Of the oppressed people
OF Cuba and the Philippines and demand
its energetic prosecution and that it by
terminated as quickly as possible after
the purpose for which it was inaugur.
ated shall have been accomplished.
We denounce the infamous policy Of
government by Injunction fostered by
the federal courts and we demand the
election OF such courts by the direct vote
or the people for a stated term.
We regard the life terms system in our
federal judiciary AS subversive of liberty
and We demand the election OF members
OF the United States supreme court for
stated terms by direct vote OF the peo-
pie.
State Issues-l. No people can be
free who are denied the right to vote yes
and no on every law to which they are
subject and We therefore favor the init
alive and referendum as the only meas
ure by which majority rule can be Sc
cured.
2. We are firmly committed to the
public ownership OF natural ~monopolies
ard we favor III amendment to the con-
stitution permitting the state to engage
in public works.
3. We favor the repeal OF the So
called fellow servant statute and the en-
aotment Of legislation making employers
liable for injuries received by their m
ployes while in tie discharge Of their
immediate duty, when injuries received
are directly traoeable to the negligence
OF employers or fellow servants.
4. We believe in fostering the insti-
tutions Of the state and insist that
county and state supplies should be
purchased from home producers.
,. We are opposed to the employment
OF convict labor in competition with free
labor except to such an extent az may |
be necessary to preserve the health OF
.convicts and maintain the institution in
which they are incarcerated.
6. We demand IN equitable tax upon
the franchises and property OF railroad
and other corporations and we condemn
the majority OF the state board of equal.
ization for it's refusal to assess railroad
property on the same basis as that of
the citizens of the state.
Resolved, That we heartily commend
the course Of Representatives Knowles
and Kelley.

PLANS NOT YET MATURED.

No Date Has Been Fixed For the Move'
ment of Troops to Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Nov. mo definite
determination has been reached rs to
the date when the troops now at Savan'
nah will be sent to Cuba. A prominent
administration official said that the de-
parture of General Lees corps would de-
pend, to a certain extent, upon the
movements of the Spanish forces in
e~vacuating the island. The American
troops, he said. might sail this week
and they might not sail for a month.
1t is the intention of the administra-
ton, however, to land General Lees
corps in Cuba
Before the lst OF January.
That date has been fixed definitely as
the time for the final evacuation Of the
island by the Spaniards. An effort was
made by the Spanish authorities to OBJ
tain an extension of the time for vac
uation to the first Of February, but the
proposition was declined by the Ameri-
a commissioners.
Arrangements for the landing and
camping of the American forces have
been practically completed, although
some of the details have not been
mapped out yet.

Vegetarianfsm.

Vegetarianisrh asks no impossible
ties. But it does demand that you be
consistent. 1t imp1ores you to look at
things as they are-reminding you
that murder is murder whether the
victim be wild bird or a savage. and
that pricking is about the same kind
of crime whether it be performed by
the mischievous pin of a school boy or
the famished bill of a MOSQUITO. It
pleads with you to split things open
and see what they are made of. It
says: Analyze the reasons for being
merciful to the Hotentot and then see
if they will not apply to the horse.
Ask yourself why you should do to the
Andaman as you would that the Anda-
man would do to you, and then see if
the same reasons do not obtain when
you say antelope. They do. There is
the same reason for respecting the
beautiful squirrel of wildwood as there
is for respecting the swarthy Bedouin
of Soudan. 1t is just as unbecoming
~ VI uOl1 oh TX lOI our amusement or
convenience as it was to make inp1e-
ments out of Philippians for the same
purpose. Our reeking shamb1es and
bloody abattoirs are simply remnants
of the same old infany that piled the
Pyramids, bartered human souls and
built opportunities for g1adiatorial
massacre. The some age-long holier-
than-thou that made black men chat
tells and dead ages red, today makes
the bull-snake a bette noir and the wild
goose target. And the same senti-
ment of sympathy and fraternity,
which broke the black mans manac1es
and is today melting the white wom-
ans chains will tomorrow emancipate
the sorrel horse and the serpent-and
as the ages bloom and the great
wheels of the centuries grind on, the
same spirit of 1eaven will Danish self
ishness from the earth and convert
the planet finally into one unbroken
and unparalleled spectacle of Peace,
Justice and 1idarity.-Chicago Veg

woman's sphere.

Home may be woman's sphere, but
it will necessitate a finer definition of
home where man shall find sphere as
well as woman, a place where the two
are one, where influences for social
regeneration have their birth and a
place which is related to every phase
of life. And for the sake of the home
we want better city life, better social
life, and better national life. And
that the home may help to make all
these ways better, we must have a
free, enlightened, responsible, pro-
gressive womanhood, matched by an
equally free, enlightened, responsible
and progressive manhood. We need
the woman1y element in the life of the
world, not at the expense of the mas
culine element but both together
man thinking and doing in mans
way, woman thinking and doing in
woman's way. He truly manly, she
truly womanly, thus each both help

Aid For the Trouble.,

The following request comes to us:
DEAR SISTER, am in deep trouble
and have been for long time. There
is to be change soon and while hop
ing for the best, am trying to prepare
for the worst, so if it should come it
Iuld not kill me. But a friend told
me today that by preparing for the
worst I was helping to bring it, while
by believing in the best, 1 was help
ing to bring that. Will you kindly
aid me with your advice?"-L. M.
The spiritually wise of all the ages
agree, that, whatsoever man sows,
that shall he also reap" Remember
dear friend that your trouble is but the
necessary discipline, a part of the ex-
perience which is to teach you the les
son of life. If you can but realize that
this suffering is for your souls growth
and come into perfect acquiesence
with the law, then will you have learn
ed or begun to learn the lesson, and
work out the problem of existence.
Few persons understand what an inn
portant factor the thoughts, held by
them in the silence of their own heart.
is in this life. Definite thought is the
real thing and the outer world is only
the picture or symbol. Be sure then to
keep your mind as nearly concentrated
as possible upon whatever you desire.
be it material or spiritual things, and
note the result.
Do not say you have no power to
control your thoughts. Each human
being has the power, within himself,
to have dominion. Exercise this
power and it will grow, becoming
stronger and stronger, until you have
gained perfect mastery over your own
world, both of thought and action.

A Few Plain Facts.

Wonderful and manifest as is this

Humble, and apparently of little inn
portance in its beginning, it has in 80
years become the wonder and admira-
ton of the whole people.
Characterized by constancy of pur-
pose, integrity of performance and the
blending in true and proper manner

Have mistakes been made in the
formation of the plans of some of
these orders9 Doubtless there have
been, but such organizations have
not made ali the mistakes, for Old
Line Life Insurance is not today what
it was 80 years ago, and within the
last two or three months some of the
Old Life Insurance companies have
changed their premium rates, charg-
ing more at certain ages and less at
other ages. Therefore, should Bene-

need revision, it will be no evidence OF
weakness of system, but simply added
evidence that all human institutions

A brother writing in regard to secur-
ing speaker for "Woman's Day," at
some meeting says: eve want some
one to lecture who will present the
woman's side of the battle of life in it's
true light, not compliment and f1atter
them, as is usually the case. I can
see no way out of our present distress
except in the education of our sisters,
the better and most powerful half of
humanity.
In the social problems confronting
us there are three words closely Joined
together, they are Mother, Home and
Heaven, and all depends upon the
mother, hence the necessity of proper
ly educating them"
We are always pleased to find men
who realize the important mission of
woman. The two halves are equal,
but different. If we call man the
head, we call woman the heart. There
is not man1iness which has not its
complimentary woman1iness. One is
as important to the whole as is the
other, ''they rise and fall together"
