NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Question of ArmOr Plate Occupied
Bulk of Time.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE second
days debate upon the naval appropriation
bill in the house today was confined close
ly to the subject matter of the bill, and
was, as rule, devoid of interesting fea-
lures. The questions of armor plate and
the building of warships in government
yards. as on yesterday, attracted most at
tention.
General debate was closed today and
tomorrow the bill Will be read for amend
ment under the f1ve-minute rule.

partment, to the end that life and prop
erty be made safe and order be restored
and enforced in st. Paul? The public
patience is completely exhausted, and it
has come to pass that the council itself
must share the public reprobation unless
1t shall display some evidence that 1t has
the public interest at heart, and takes
some steps to put an end to the general
lawless and Infamous system under which
thieves and courtesans are protected at
the expense of honest and decent citizens.
There Is no question that the council has
the right to intervene, and the public
wants to know If 1t has the courage. -

The only way to get rid of burglars,
thieves, foot-pads, gambling dens and
policy shops, which infest the city, is to
get rid of the chief officials of the police
department, whose incompetency and in
efficiency are responsible for the i'm
punity with which these professional
banditti ply their predatory trades.
Ever since these men have been at the
head Of the police department, st. Paul
has been becoming more and more fa-
vorite field for the operations Of the
crooks Of every description, and they
have finally grown so bold with long i'm
munity that it has become unsafe for men
and women to walk the public streets aft
er sundown; and burglars and hold-ups
are of such common occurrence that there
is serious talk of organizing a vigilance
committee to do the work for which we
pay the police department $1S5, 900 year"

A Drainy Horse.

(San Francisco Trade Journal.)
The almost human efforts Of a horse
to rescue himself from drowning in the
bay at Lilly & Borgardus' wharf Sat
urday is the talk Of the water front.
The horse was most valuable one, his
owner, John s. Williams, Of Tacoma,
setting the price at $1,000. At the time
OF the accident, which nearly resulted In
the loss of the animal, It was being led
from the wharf across the gang plank
for shipment to Tacoma. The sudden
footing of whistle caused the animal
to shy and slip OF the plank into the
water. Great excitement prevailed
while the beast foundered desperately
in the bay. There was mo- place for the
horse to land nearer than Galbraith's
wharf, and 1t looked as though the steed
was goner. At this ist9ge somebody
suggested to throw ltne and as the
manila hit the water theIspectators were
dumbfounded to see the struggling beast
seize the end Of the rope In its mouth
gripping it firmly. In the meantime a
boat had reached the scene and. al
though hawser was made fast about
the horses neck to tow him. he refused
to loosen the rope in. his mouth. In
this manner the equind vas towed to q
landing and hauled saf{aHon shore. The
second attempt to load fthe horse was
more successful. and he is now in Ia
coma.

Litchheld Grain House Closes Its

A small sensation was sprung Thursday
morning, when the news spread that the
elevator operated by Andrew Thompson, of
Atwater, through his agent, ]. P. Jensen,
had closed its doors.
Just what caused the failure is enveloped
in haze, but 1t Is said to be an unfortunate
business venture, coupled with q failure to
run the elevators on business principles. 1t
is reported that Mr.. Thompson with q
partner opened general store at Fertile,
Polk county, contracting bills with whole
sale houses. He then sold out to his part
ner. who in turn sold out to others and
went west. When the bills came due Thomp-
son was the only one left to meet them,
which he was unable to do. The closing
Of his elevator here and at Atwater followed.

CAMPAIGN DEPARTMENT
A Campaign Plan.

Editor Representative: The Populist
party has the two ablest statesmen In
the country on it's national ticket. The
masses, the laboring classes, do not
know this; they are kept in ignorance
of the work and standing of the Peoples
party by the plutocratic dailies and by
their own failure to read reform papers
and study politics for the sake Of prin-
ciple.
The voters Of the country must be
reached they need to know something Of
Populists principles aside from garbled
and prejudiced paragraphs and articles
often found in monopoly
edited newspapers. Here Is our plan:
Have the Cincinnati platform printed
on separate slips for wholesale distribu-
ton by the Populist workers of the
country, among their neighbors and
friends. Let it be printed in a style
similar to the manner In which it ap-
pears in the Representative, but with
the names of our standard bearers at
the top. On the reverse side could be
advertised such papers as the American,
the Representative, Missouri World and
Southern Mercury. We need also some
thing like four-page folder giving a
biographical and character sketch Of
each of our candidates Barker and
Donnelly-with portrait of each.
II literature Of this kind could be
scattered far and wide among people
who have not yet really had any oppor-
tunity to learn the merits of Populism,
no doubt much good would result. An
other circular, appealing to the people
Of the country to turn away from the
twin frauds of Democracy and the Re-
publican party, presenting the present
as the crisis in American history, would
set many people to thinking. Such lit
erature can be placed where it is not
always easy to place our newspapers.
Can not our plan be tried?

Especial to The Times -Herald.)
INDIANAPOLIS, June THE Gold DEM
ocrats will have candidates for president
and vice president in the field again this
year. This unexpected course was yir-
tualiy decided upon at a secret confer
ence of their national executive commit
tee held in New York last Friday. Secrecy
was maintained until today, when the fol-
lowing call. by order Of the executive
committee" was issued in this city by Chair
man Peabody and Secretary Frenzel:
ITO the Members of the National Com
mittee of the National Democratic Party:
There will be a meeting Of the National
committee in Indianapolis. July 25. 2 p.
m. Your presence is earnestly requested"
SENTIMENT is UNANIMOUS.
At the New York meeting Secretary Fren-
eel stated tonight, the sentiment was unan-
imous that the party should duplicate its
course in 1896. OF the following 10 mem-
bers Of the committee he added, Mr.. Halds-
man was the only absentee:
George Foster Peabody, New York.

All the members of the executive com.
mittee, Mr.. Frenzel stated, were united in
the sentiment that the candidacy Of Will
liam Jennings Bryan and the principles Of
the Chicago platform should be opposed. He
added that there was a similar feeling re-
garding President Mckinley. Therefore. he
continued, the conclusion was informally
reached that the Gold Democrats should
have a separate national ticket again. As
a result 1t Is predicted that the full ma
tionA committee, at it's meeting here next
month. will order the holding Of a national
convention to nominate candidates for pres
ident and vice president.

The Justification Of Wealth..
Commenting on the gift OF Andrew
Carnegie to Cooper Union, a gift of
100000 for an endowment of a de-
partment Of mechanical arts. as "justi-
f1cation of wealth." the New York
Tribune remarks:
III Peter Cooper had not amassed a
great fortune there never would have
been Cooper Union"
II. we might add, Rockefeller had
never amassed great fortune there
never would have been a Chicago Uni
versity. No, but there might have been
National University in its place. a
university supported by the people, and
in which there would be allowed greater
freedom of thought.
Now, with the amassing of fortunes
In an honest way, and the giving of for
tunes to endow colleges, educational in
stitutions, we have no fault to find. We
have only commendation for those who
SO amass and give. But we do say that
the giving away of fortunes or q small
percentage Of fortunes amassed by tax
Ing the multitude through the means of
some perhaps dishonesty gained pref
erence, discrimination, monopoly, is no
justification for the accumulation of
great wealth, wealth exacted from the
people as tribute-no more of a 1usti-
fication than was the giving by baronial
freebooters of part of their spoils to
the church in the middle ages a justi-
fication for the crimes perpetrated. the
injuries done. in the amassing Of that
loot. A Rockefeller, who has exacted
millions from the people as tribute, can
not Justify the methods by which he has
amassed his millions by giving a few
OF them away to endow a university.
It Is too much like purchasing indul-
gence. And here let 1t be said that II
the government had called q halt upon
Rockefeller in exacting tribute from
the people, and exacting tribute by
means Of freight preferences extended
to him by the railroads and q monopoly
reared thereon, it could itself have taxed
the people to support q university far
more magnificent than any Rockefeller
has created without adding to but great
ly tightening the burdens of the people.
Let no one fatter himself that the peo-
pie are not taxed for the creation, the
support of a university endowed by q
Rockefeller. They are taxed and taxed
not less but more because taxed by priv
ate hands, and mainly for private profit.

In 1892 the advanced thinkers and
bravest patriots in the land met at
Omaha. Nebraska. and adopted a plat
form OF principles that will command
the admiration of the true political
economists Of the present and future,
But they made the mistake to nominate
the traitor who had rushed the Green
back party into the Democratic party.
and he at once conceived the brilliant
idea of killing the Peoples party as the
Greenback party had been killed, by tho
fusion with the Democratic party. The
masses being hard pressed and i'm
patient Of relief listened to the nice
phrase In union there is strength" so
artfully advanced by the Democratic
and Populist fusion leaders. The result
Is that the Peoples party. which, had it
been true to itself and its principles, it
would have now been the second party
in the nation, If not the first, is a divid-
ed wreck.
There is no one who is sanguine
enough to claim that the plain Popu-
lists can this year elect their. candi-
dates, Barker and Donnelly. But every
true Populist will give Barker and DON
nelly his loyal support as they represent
those who favor political independence
of King Caucus, financial Independence
OF the banks and Industrial independ-
ence Of the trusts. The Sioux Falls
Populists, or fusion Populists, are three
quarters Democrat and one-quarter Re-
publican and this year will end their DO
htical existence. But the plain Popu-
lists, being independent, will continue
to grow and become the pioneers of a
better political system.
1t is. therefore, the plain duty of all
who are selected by the referendum vote
to places on the ticket to make the can
vass for the Office they are assigned to,
regardless Of their prospects OF election.

rule. and unless they believe that SELF

the fusion wing of the party. They

It's record and they do not hesitate to
pronounce it party of stagnation,

AConvenient Hammocl..

The hammock which is the most pop
ular this year and which people are al
ready beginning to buy is the pulley
hammock, though that may not be the
actual name for it. This hammock has
many advantages. Across the center
are several strips Of wood, which make
it possible, by dropping one end and
raising the other, to have a comforta-
BILE lounging chair. The hammock is
very simply constructed and is regulat-
ed with pulleys by the person occupy
ing it. One convenience which many
women will appreciate is the ease Of
getting in and out To get IN and out
Of an ordinary hammock with anything
like grace is almost an impossibility.
