The report of the national organization
committee of the Peoples party was pre-
sented last night. The report, which was
in the form of an address to the people, did
not meet with the approval of the editors
and, after a spirited debate, it was re-
ferred back for modification.
A public meeting last night was ad-
dressed by Ignatius Donnelly, ]. w. Lowea

An Old Mans Suicide.

Mans inhumanity to man is what
drove poor old Joseph Gertsmeir, of Ma
pie Grove, to suicide. He was an old
man, without friends, money or home.
Two townships got to quarreling about
his keeping, each township refusing to
bear the exepnse. This cut the poor old
man to the quick, and to save either
town the expense, he blew the whole top
of his head of.

CIVILIZING THE FILIPINOs
Written for the Coming Nation by A. c. r1cDougall.

III
Teach the dark Fipinos them so we'll So
We willing to sacrifice all of their lives,
Their homes and their farms, their children and wives
To give them a blessing they have sought,
government which they have honestly fought
And just incidentally stopping meanwhile
To establish a trade with their beautiful ise
And if there's way to prolong the affair."
And give to army some prestige while there
Well not hasten home, but prolong the fight,
Till all shall submit drop out of sight.
If any insurgents shall survive the ordeal,
We expect missionaries with fervor and zeal,
To follow the flag with the gospel of peace
The religion which promises shall cease
will send them likewise, when these messengers
A cargo of excellent New England rum;
And if that's not enough for this heathensh nation.
Well send them the rest of civilizations;
Well send them saloons, dance halls and casinos;
Well elevate all these low down Fipinos,
Well teach them the way to form and combines
And skin another along all such lines;
The boxer, the bruser, the bunco man. too
Political trcksters and every such crew.
Will follow the flag to the far distant nation.
And help with American civilization.
We started this fuss this side of the sea-;
We settled with the Dons and set Cuba free,
With the isles all about her-as free as air
And reign of the Spanard closed up in despair,
BY incident, accident, such way,
The Philippines fell a prey,
And it is taxing highest powers,
To know what to do with them since they are ours,
OF all they hold dear to foreign pretender---
Believing that freedom means rights of their own,
To themselves since the Dons overthrown;
But the for expansion country befuddled, 80
From the president down all minds have got muddled
The islands are ours, both the country and town.
"our flag has gone and must never come down."
1t is true that sacrifice still must be made
The bravest of men on the altar be laid,
Millions of treasure like spent
And the ties that dearest forever be rent:
Yet the "civilizaton' to bring in
Will compensate fully for this sin.
But the that falls heaviest-leaves worst effect
Is the loss sustain in self respect;
For fighting because are strong,
people who never did any wrong;
And while prate loudly of own liberty,
We fighting people who seek to be free.
'Twere question in ethics quite hard to decide
Whether they in their darkness we in our pride,
Need the gospel the worst, but if I'm correct,
'Twere better when God comes to call his elect,
Far better to stand with the barbarous horde,
Than with nations to "civilize" with the sword.

The hard usage of these arms during the war is shown by the fact that they are catalogued as with out bayOnets, " without sights, with out ramrods,'' stock broken etc. Most of the rifles and carbines are of the Spanish pattern, although a con siderable number are of Argentine and Turkish pattern.

CANAL TRAFFIC.
Sault Ste Marie Record Breaks That Of

Sault Ste. Mari5, Mich, Jan. 3-Sta- tistics have just been issued covering the traffic of the canals at this place during the season which closed on De- cemb'sT 14.

There were 21 ,234, ,664 tons of freight carried through the United States and Canadian canals, as against 18,982 755 tons in 1887. During the same pe-iCu there was an increase of 1,002 S21 in the registered tonnage of the craft transporting this enormous amount of freight.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Early Renewal of Professional Pres
 sure-A Sharp Advance.

New York, Jan. 3.-The clique of
 professional operators who were main
 ly instrumental in depressing yester-
 days market were again active at to-
 days opening;' this time, however.
 their efforts were completely unsuc-
 cessful. It was plain before the day
 had advanced far that the impulse to
 sell which was aroused by yesterday 5
 furry in call loans, and the accOmpa-
 nying manoeuvTes of bear operators in
 stocks, had passed away. The result
 by the early afternoon was a very UT
 gent demand to cover short contracts.
 which, in conjunction with some fur
 ther heavy commission buying carried
 up prices with considerable vigOr. In
 spite of this convincing assurance of
 the markets present strength, yester-
 days object lesson will rot be lost upon conservative calculators of the future. Judged by all precedent, the effect of such a movement as we have
 had during the past fortnight is to lower the quality of security holdings. Conspicuous among present buyers are those who are merely swept along by the rising tide of enthusiasm without regard to the risk which persons of slender means must run from a sudden change in the current. Many embark in new ventures whose principal assets are the profits accrued on their brokers books from former speculative trans actions Ont the other hand, the present class of sellers includes in large numbers operators of substantial resources who bought when the chance of profits seemed more remote. conf dent in their ability for the sake of ul- ttIcate material reward. How far this transfer of security interests cOulu Igo without carrying the market to the danger point is a problem which must be considered on the merits Of each particular case. In the present in- stance the unusually large proportion cf outright investment purchases, the general absence Of anything unfavor- able to the outside financial situation, and the extreme elasticity in the facil- ities of credit are all strong reasons for believing that the current market has capacity of expansion far above the ordinary. Nevertheless in estimating current tendencies in tha price move ment, it is always of advantage to ob- serve that each successive advance l weakens the markets position because it involves Q wider margin Of inss- | cure speculative holdings, ard conse- | quently greater liability to a. severe 1 collapse should there be a sudden pres l sure to convert thcse holdings into | cash.
 From this it follows that such a re- action as occurred yesterday was dis ! tinctly valuable to the inherent posi- ! tion of the market, as it served to re- 1 duce these elements of potential weak ness. This circumstance was very generally recognized by today's buy | CTS, and formed the governing cOnsid- eration throughout the whole trading.

THE HAWAIIAN BILL
It's Points of Difference From inc
 nifs Measure.

l Washington, Jan. 3.-The bill to pro
 vide a government for the territory O. Hawaii has been completed by the sub committee cn territories and is ready for presentation to the full committee.
 Several changes have been made in
 the bill introduced by MT Hit; enc Cf the most important occurs in section 4, relative to citiz- nship. In place Of the provision in the Hit bill confeIring cit
 izenship on all white persons, includ- ing Portuguese and persons of African descent, and all persons descended from the Hawaiian race on either the raternal or maternal side, who were
 citizens of Hawai-. immediately prior to the transfer of the sovereignty there of to tb5 United States, the suh-com- mittee has inserted 9 clause declaring that all persons who were citizens of the republic of Hawaii on the 18th of August, 189S," shall be citizens of the United States.
 The section relating to the repeal ot the civil laws of Hawai- is altered to leave unchanged that on the income tax and to add to the list that relating to bankruptcy. Rights of action and suits at law and in equity have been added to the list Of statutes which are to ba continued

 This is a change from the Hit bill, which provides fer enc general elec- ticn, to be hsld Cn the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 1899. The first election provided fer in the bill is to be held on the same dAte, and the scccnd in 1900, and every second year thereafter.

r. B. Logan has the following to say Of the Globe mines in the Tucson Citi- zen:
 The Globe mines were the first To- cated and worked for silver only. but long since have developed into very rich copper producers. There were ru1 five people in Globe when Dr. T. c. 9t2ll0 cane in 1876, bringing with OK teams the first merchandise ever sold in Globe.
 The Stonowan Jackson silver mine, near the site of Globe, owned by one Harris in those early 'imes, became fs- mOCs as the producer of 1,500-pOund silver nugget.
 Globe will now, more than ever, be q desirable place Of residence, since it has ready communication by rail with the outside world

At the mine, from personal observation, I learned that the cOCl- p3ny was making mum arous and impo~- t2nt improvements and additions to their already extensive machinery.

TO LEAVE THE NAVY.
MT. ". H. Mcfarland Accepts an Offer
 of the Westinghouse Company.

Washington, Jan. 3-Ths navy is about to lose one of it's brightest young officers in the person of Passed Assis- tant Engineer Walter NJ Mcfarland, at present attached to the bureau Of steam engineering as assistant to Engi- neer-in-Chief Melville. Efr. Mcfarland leaves the navy to become assistant general manager of the Westinghouse company at Pit.sburg at a salary four times as large as that he now derives from the government.
 The offer was a tribute to the com bined scientific and practical qualitica- ticns Of MT. Mcfarland. He was ap- pointed to the naval academy iii 1875 as 3 cadet engineer as a result of a competition among the public schools of the District of Columbia, and at Ann apolis he easily took first place in his class. While attached to ths engineer ing bureau Of the navy department he had much to do with designing the ma chinery for the vessels of the modern navy which have rendered such good accounts of themselves. He has just returned to Washington from a long tour of service, part of the time on the San Francisco in the Mediterranean.
