In a room that lmntl been Pretty vc1i flhletI.
Surfao indicatiom eero that the split
yesterday was ihtic aoiul to the fact that
the middle of thmo road popuihstii refused to
take up with the soeiatsL movement , but
thnro is another ithe to the story. It is
openly charged by nwmbo".m of tIme 'ocintistic
section who withdrew from yesterday's cot- ,
vention that the pep leactr.rn in time city of
Council flhuffr have boemi cilgagoil itt an till-

\v. F. Travk' , who has boon chairman of time
city central comniltue. resigned and wrote
a letter telihmig why lie wac constrained Ia
withdraw from tlu ptoltlt's party. lii his
letter , vhiiclt is a lengths but caustic deeti-
tiwnt , Mr. Travis explained that he had
espoused tue seiitlistlc .atis 00(1 desired
to renounce his allegiance to the POPulISt
arty. ilo _ ( lid SC for one reae3o because lie
thought the sociaiisti platform furnished a
better remedy for time reforms s3ugllt by the
laboring people titan uhid the populist schenue
. , id , then he had nnotliei reason , and he
gava it in the.o words :
"There has. however , been a poisonous
and deadly &erpent called around tue staff
of your banner and a loathsome moth gnawing -
ing the beautiful texture of its fabric. it
is needless to add that by the former I mean
fusion and by the latter bribery. Your ( IC-
croa'od vote at the las' CIty election was
doubtloO3 wholly attributable to tIme above
mentioned causes. Fusion is unknown to
eacialism and bribery and boodierismn have
itever yet four.d a place tu root their beads.
The platform , the candidates and the nuemn-
bers of the party are no subjects to barter -
ter or trade and woe be uo him who would
be so base as to betray It confidence. "
Mr. Travis concluded. lii resignation as
chairman et the committee with expressions
of gratitude to the men who had stood by
him in the honest. work for the populist party ,
alud a lromiso of war to the knife with the
assassins who had tr1ed to sell the narta
to the enemy. The resignation was accepted
and the city ccnvention selected delegates
to the county convention and adopted the
social.atic platform section by section. Delegates -

TOO 111011 FOrt RURAL DELEGATES.
That was the situation when the conven-
lien met yesterday morning to select delegates -
gates to the state convention to be held in
Des MoInes April 22. The city delegates
were ripe for the adopt.on of the soallstIc
phatform , and the country tielegatea hasi an
Idea that socahists ! and anarchists were
synonyms and would have none of it. Only
a preliminary organzatioiu ! was effected at
the mcrning session. and the convention adjourned -
journed until the afternoon. At 3 o'clock
the convention met again in the superior
court room and Ilhhhtu Meyers was selected
as chairman and E. J. Orr recretary. The
committee on credentials , appointed at the
morning session , reported a list of accredited
delegates , and a rnotlcn was offered to approve -
prove the report. And then the mercury
went up a tow notches. Mr. Travis offered
an amendment that N. P. Hansen. N. Jensen ,
Nets Anderson , Robert Johnson , Neis Peterson -
son and Peter Christensen be admitted as
delegates from the Fifth ward.
Some one wanted to know if the gentle-
ineli named were populists. Mr. Travis re-
piled that they were populists and more.
They were socialists.
The answer started the rural delegates
.0 sniffing. and it was suggested that no
ec'aiists need apply.
Travis took up tile defense of his motion.
Ito read the call for the conventon in w'hich
all workers In reform movements were invited -
vited to participate in the meeting. Tue
socialists , lie said , were in line in a great
many measures , and that every populist was
a scc'alist in a degree. lie did not think
that the POPulist should Invite other reform
workers to come in and then refuse to allow
them to take part in the deliberations of the
convention. There was no question of the
fact that the delegates named were socaliats.
and they wore also popuiists.
J. W. Doriand and E. P. Brown . opposed
tIme amendment. Water and oil would not run
together , Mr. Brown declared , and ho was
opposed to mixing populiSm with socialism or
any other ism. After sonic d'scusscn , Travis'
amendment was sidetracked. and the report
of the committee on credentials adopted.
' [ 'hen the committee on resolutions presented
the following :
We demand :
1. Direct leglshntion.
2. Free coinage of slIver at the ratio of
16 to 1 , without waiting for the consent of
any other nation. Government h.suo . of all

nlje.
3 , That thin government shall own and
operate all railroad , telegraph and telephone

1. \e favor any honorable unification of
reform forces.
Tacked on to the .report of the committee'
on resolutions svas a recommendation that the
platform of the socialist party be read and
considered and thut a vote on it be taken
without diiioussion. After seine talk the
queetlon was put and adopted , and tien Chair-
111511 Meyers asked that the convention pro-
ceeti with tIme selection of delegates to the
state convention. Breezy Breeze , Travis
and other delegates asked for the reading of
tIm s.cialst platform , 'is provided by the
resolution. They were promised a hearing
later on , anti ivero content for a little tune ,

The choir of time First Presbyterian church
of Missouri Valley created much enthusiasm
by its singing at tlto Firet Christian church
of tills c'ty ' Friday evening. Despite the
disagreeable evening there was a large at-
tendance. The double quartet sang particularly -
ticularly well , their voices blending in per-
feet harmony. Time brIlliancy of Mr. Harris'
playing was greatly appreciated by the nu-
dicce. So many of our young pianists are
endeavoring to fester their reputations uupon
European fame. This is not so with Mr
Harris. h-ho never presents his program without -
out proper study , and does not strive to see
how marl ) new works lie cam bring out in a
given time. but rather to Illustrate the
beauty of music by playing whatever ho
undertakes with thoroughness and origi-
nahity , .

The grand jury also visited the county
and city jails and made a report on the
condition of the two places of detention.
TIme report was short , and in very plain
English. The jpry found the county jail
clean and bright , but stated that they had
had ocular demonstration of the fact that
prisoners were covered witlm vermin and
it was recommended that a trash supply of
clothing be purchased. The city jail was
reported as dirty , filthy and In sad need
of a general oyerhauhing.

for Nthmlmmg' $ or ? m1nt a I .til ,
At the republican city convention , when
the preaent mayor , city marshal antI ether
elective offIcers were nomlnnatcti. a resohuntlen
was introduced anti adopteti as a iihank In
the platform pledging the immnyor , It cictcd.
to appoint tIme city marshal as chief Cf t -
lice , anti pledging the marshal to servo in
that capacity iii atidition to lilt customary
duties , and rio it witltout my additioiial sal-
ary.
ary.This plan woe selected tor tIme liurpese of
carrying out. the wishea of tine pcopi far
the abolishment of eithrr the chUte of thto
chief of police or that of the mnnurslmal. There
wOre two reasons for the domuuund , Since the
atioptiohi of the new chunter creatimug the
offIce of chief of police there hmnma always
been more or less friction between the two
forces. The marshal and his deputies shioweul
a desire to work alone a'uil the pollee hover
seemed to ho conu'unned rltb a desire to
work with them , The other reas.n1 , anti it
sas thici chic ! one , \'ail the denmaumti for curtailing -
tailing city expenses.
When Mayor Carson matie imis appoint-
incats he stood by the party platform anti
appointed Marshal Cannm.lrg elliot of police ,
anti Canning accepted tIm increased respon-
uibhIltie anti said nothing about extra pay.
iluit in spite of all this ti c question of extra
camnpensathon for the marshal has been
brought tip , anti some ot the members of
the council are talking about some sort of
a conniprornise. Some of tIme aldermen have
expressed time foamthtat if the marshal makes
tlio thtunnanti for extra compensation hue can
cchiect nil of Chief Scanlan's salary in spite
of time city coumneil or the pledges in the
nominating convention. While Mr. Canning
has given nothing more than a hint that lie
would accept any favors in the way of increased -
creased pay that the council might veto hilmim ,
ito imna nmade no sort of tlelnanti for it. Tme
conipromise umioat discum-ti by the ahtiernmcn
in their etreet talk is to settle all rlisputc'
anti do justice to Canning by fixing his salary -
ary at $125 a month. On July 1 tue law
abolishing tue rmmarslial's omce takes effect
anti titci aldermen argue that it would hue
better for the service to pay a small atidi-
tional eimnn for the extra dutlei of the mar-
shal'tu office than to get 'oto a wrangle rind
keep the force disorganizeti until that time.
"You can tty as clearly arid as st.roiigly
as the English language can express it hunt
there will ho no increas' , of time marshal's
salary as long as can prevent it , " i'aiti
Alderrnami Brown yestertlay. "Mr. Canning
was elected upon a platform distinctly pietlg-
ing him to accept thm 0111cc of chief of po-
hico wlthiout any additional compensationi ,
and I ann going to do all I possibly can to
assist him in keeping his pledge. Ratimer
than see one dollar addetI to Mr. Canning's
pay I wIll use all of the power I can coni-
niand in the council to secure the reappoint-
macnt of Chief Seanlan or any other gooti
man. The people demanded retrenchment
and they have a right to expect It. I will do
everything I possibly can to avoid committing -
ting the present administratIon to thin policy
of violating its ante-electlonm pledges within
the first. week after organization. "
Associated with Alderman Browmi is Alderman -
derman Casper , and he Is equally p3sltivc
in his determination to eritorce the platform
pledges. Although ho was electeti on the
dennocratio ticket , with time assistance of
his colieaguo , Altierman h3rough , he will
make a hot second to Alderman Brown's
proposed fight.
Another of the republican menmbers of tiuc
council , 'hio tloce not want to be quoted.
will also second Brown's efforts to prevent
aiuy increase in the nmar.tual's pay. Tlue
proposition to enlarge the city jail building
sumciently to make an extra room for the
usa of the desks and instruments in tIle
chief of police's omen line been favorably
acted upon by the council. ThIs will coat
several hundred dollars , and if tile nnar-
shale salary is increased it will wipe out
all of the savings made by the new order
of things. _ _ _ _ _
