relief. That sky-scraper. the Peoples

erected by the struggles Of thousands Of
lofty minded honest men. during the
past 2e years-was it built only for
the birthplace of IAN orphan?"
Such articles as this of Mr.. Yngve,
and similar opinions Of other chair
men. express no higher thought.
Let us hasten to their relief. There
they lie, groveling in the mud of old
party politics. Mr.. Yngve's only state
ment is 're-elect John Lind, because of
his glowing. inaugural expressions,
especially on taxation"

die the brains of unthinking voters, by

promises" we can have, why not at
least demand full-blooded Populistic
promises" of government ownership,
ETC., quite omitted in John Lind's in
augural, which at least would have
given new life to our party, and had
tremendous educational power. John
Lind lost in his inaugural an honest"
opportunity by not calling industrial
slaves to unite on principle" instead of
vainly trying, through false issues, to
effect temporary harmony of discord-
ent elements, only that few politicians
may be fed at public expense. John
Lind has thus again proved himself to
be no Populist. Those men, like Mr..
Yngve, who indorse such a stand, show
themselves also to be only old party
politicians, concerned in what will give
the people no relief, whichever way such
an administration and legislature as the
present vote or talk on these minor
matters.

Rowden beat them to the door and locked
ing in the hallway The meeting there
was called to order by ex-Congressman Wei
Ter. Of Iowa, who said that as usual the re-
form movement was being struck by the
hand OF assassins in the house Of its friends.
He recounted the history of the reform
movement. beginning with the organization
OF the national party at Toledo. He said
he had attended the convention with Gen.
J. B. Weaver. On that occasion they had
slept together, had pledged their faith and
their honor to support the same movement,
and held up their hands before the same
God to support their intentions. Follow
ing this other reform movements had sprung
up. and each had been killed. He said the
new party will require each member to be
true to its principles, or leave 1t the mo-
ment he plays traitor.
He was followed by Jerome Stamp and
others. J. B. Osborn, of Atlanta, Ca, hold

rington. Ga, had prepared resolution which
he said he wanted to present, and the meet
ing was adjourned to the Grand hotel to
listen to 1t. Mr.. Osborn said the regular or
ganization had ruled out the entire state of
Georgia, and had given no reason for such
action. He declared a majority of the
members of the committee had been dis
franchised
The resolution which he proposed to offer
follows:
Resolved That as the minority of the
national committee had gone into the Dem
ocratic party, that we, the only true and real
Populists here represented, bow to the right
of any citizen, especially United States SEN
ators, to affiliate with any party they choose,
and that we will be the last of all citizens
to in any way deprive them of their faith
in the devil or their hope in hell; but as for
us we believe in the Omaha platform and
true Populism, and to be true to our prin-
ciples and the POpulists in the states we
represent, we now proceed to transact the
regular business of the national committee
pursuant to the call Of Chairman Butler
The assertion was made in the corridors
of the capitol that six members admitted to
the meetaing of the regular organization
had voted for Mckinley, and that nearly
all Of them had voted for Bryan and Sewall.
Mr.. Osborn, of Georgia, speaking of this,
said: There is Tom Patterson, Of Denver.
He has been admitted. When l was in Col
orado last campaign Patterson was fighting
the regular Populist ticket and supporting
the Democratic nominees, both personally
and through his paper. Secretary Edgerton
is an employe Of Mr.. Patterson's, and of
course he brings his influence to bear to
get his employer on the floor. It's rotten
deal"

SENATOR ALIENS TACTICS.
While the discussion was going on Mr.
Burkhart, of Indiana, told of a demand
made upon him by theFcommittee. He said
the committee sent FOR ,7him and Senator
Allen asked him IL he would abide by the
ruling of the committee. sMr. Burkhart said
he had always abided by the rulings of all
the conventions and smeotings- he had at
tended. but he could not give a promise. He
thought the committe was usurping author
ity in asking him to anARe such pledge
before it acted upon his ae6ntest case.
At the close of the speech Mr.. Burkhart
was called out. The messenger announced
aloud that the comxnittee on credentials
wanted him. This announcement was greet
ed with laughter.
Later 1t was reported t1at Mr.. Burkhart
was admitted by SenatoiiAllen's committee
as an accredited men1berst
The boilers met at 1.-THE Grand hotel, at
1880 and drew up the following ultimatum
for presentation at the general session.
THAT the committee recognize only legal
proxies, stamped with revenue stamps &C.
cording to law.
THAT the roll of the meeting at Omaha
in 1898 be accepted as the roll of this COM
n1ittee, except where subsequent state con-
ventiOns have elcted new members; except
that cases Of contest shall go before a con-
test committee composed of five members
two to be appointed by the friends of But
Ter and two by friends OF Parker, these four
to agree upon a Nth member; and that In
settling these contests no votes are to be
cast on these cases by either contestees OF
contestants until all contests are settled.
This proposition represents 81 votes In
this committee, which is a good majority
Of the members In attendance here, and We
demand these propositions in the name OF the
honest Populist voters Of this nation
who are opposed to rascality in politics.

contract entered into by it's prede-
cessor-the territory. Did those legis-
lators. so anxious to relieve the dear
people, by riding over the law to in
crease the gross earnings tax, rush to
the support of Senator Shellback's bill
to increase the tax on the Great West
ern? BY no means. Wise men saw a
powerful lobby used the usual none
tary influence. However that may be.
one thing is sure, that they never pro-
posed and Lind never proposed that the

would instantly disclose the utter i'm

attempt to violate by legislation a

larly see-sawed from Democratic to Re-
publican and back, for twenty-eight
years. and is due to return to the Demo
cratic column this year; 10 that the
Democrats are hopeful of carrying it
for Bryan, as they did for Tilden and
twice for Cleveland.
This would leave only four votes nee

A Democratic plurality in any one Of
the five Middle States-Ohio, Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota or Wisconsin
would more than supply the deficiency.
A change of less than 1000 votes would
have carried Ohio for Tilden in 1876 In
1892 the State was 50 close that Cleve-
land actually received one of its votes,
and in that year, Wisconsin and Illinois
both went for Cleveland.
In Michigan the Republicans are re-
ported to have special points of weak
ness, notably the detection of Gov. Pin
gree, the presence of 10000 Hollanders
in the State and the corruption and Of
fensive rule of the corporations
The Fusionists in Minnesota elected
Gov. Lind in 1898 by plurality of co.
600 over his Republican opponent.
Any one of these States would supply
not only the four votes necessary on
this basis, but would also give Mr.. Bry-

What is MilitariSm?

The Republicans are very anxious to
know what is the militarism with which
McKinleyism has threatened the com-
try. They are amused by what they
consider the bogy raised by the Demo-
cratic and anti-imporialistic magma
ton.
Militarism is this: In 1898 the regu-
lar army consisted of $4,000 men. 1t
now consists of $4,000 and there are
30, 900 volunteers besides, making 100,-
600 in all. McKinleyism is responsible
for this increase in the numbers of the
army. The army used to cost about
S23, 600, 600 year. 1t is now costing
$135, 600, 600
But the present force of 100000 men
is not sufficient under McKinleyism. 1t
is almost entirely absorbed by the needs
of the Philippines, and there is no inn
mediate prospect that the force in the
archipelago can be disminished. AT
least 100, 900 men costing annually $780,
600, 900, independent of the cost of
transportation, will be needed in the
islands. The care and management Of
the new guns in place and in process
of manufacture for this country, for
which Congress has appropriated anoth-
er 800, 900, 600, will require ut least 49,
900 additional artillerymen. Cuba re-
quires 5000 troops and will require them
as long as we are in power there. Por-
to Rico requires 1900. Here are 1922
800 soldiers, without counting the addi-
tional infantrymen and cavalrymen
who will be required Mt home in Alaska
and in Hawaii.
Let us say McKinleyism has made
necessary for immediate uses and for
several years to come an army of $780,
0OO Moreover, its foreign and colonial
policy will breed the military spirit and
will transform this country into mill
tary power.
When country's military force is
suddenly increased six times and its
cost nearly seven times, there is justifi-
cation for saying that militarism is
threatened.

He flushed and paused. Then he said:
II believe it is true that some of the
mills in this community are temporari-
Is closed: -.------. --- ..---
"All but one, shouted another work
ingman.
Il am sorry for it, responded Senator
Foraker. 1T is not permanent mis-
fortune, am sure AS soon as your
scale is signed, and believe that will
be signed very soon, You will have con-
tinued and steady employment.
We've got to take reduction,
though" spoke up another laboring
man.
MY friend, replied the Senator, EN-
barrassed and angry, you cannot
charge this Administration with the
shutdown of the mills. This is not the
first time in history that the mills have
been shut down."
And that was the end Of Foraker's
prosperity" talk in Youngstown, where
the trusts have closed down mills, re-
duced wages and extended the hours of
labor. When he declared that the Ad-
ministration was not responsible for the
closing down of the mills, he also ac-
knowledged that it had nothing to do
with their opening, for the power to
open implies to keep open.
The Republican party either must
confess that its claims of having created
whatever measure of prosperity the
country may have enjoyed during the
Administration of William Mckinley is
pure impudence or else it must prepare
to assume responsibility for the trusts,
the closing down of mills and the reduc-
ton in wages of employees that is being
made throughout the country. If to
the Republican party is to be given the
credit for whatever increase in wages
may have been made during the past
three years, then the responsibility for
the ninety-nine-cents-a-day wages of
the men working in the anthracite coal
fields must be borne by it, as well as
other starvation wages wherever paid.
1t cannot take the credit without re-
summing the responsibility.
