He thus describes theen vironment and misery of those trampled down and crowded under by the rich and strong: "Human misery is very much alike the world over. In the submerged class we find the man in the lowest depths of deg radation, misery and wickedness. Who ' -xres for him? -Who cares anything be anguish of.the human soul in Jis condition? We have endeavored to Assify the evils which have brought fliese men to this frightful condition. first, we ascribe their condition to des titution. Some of them are always hun gry. They have lived and died aud all but rotted in the streets. They lived in the slums, and it is difficult to convey to an audience like this what a slum really is. - ' "You can imagine a dark and narrow alley, hedged with lofty buildings, and into which the light of the sun seldom, if V.t... i 4. . 1 : !,;, 4k., fi.tiil ' odor from heaps of garbage and filth continually breed misery and disease. In the dilapidated structures on either side of these loathsome alleys are rooms in which whole families are compelled to live and die. One room for the man, wife and children. One room in which to eat, sleep, to be sick in, to die in and to lie in until the undertaker comes with his hol low shell to carry away the poor carcass of humanity to its last resting place." The General then drew several pictures of life in the slums, such as would stir the heart of adamant. In speaking of the Jcheme of the Salvation army he said: ,j "The great question is, how can we help jtyhese submerged classes? The Salvation army scheme contemplates first of all, work. We first find the man. We give him a warm place to sleep for 2 cents, with a piece of bread thrown in. For 2 cents more we give him a bath, with hot and cold water, and towels. For anoth er 2 cents we give him a (rood meal. And, then we talk to him. We interest kirn in hi. Amn ll'l.l f .1 TH Wo fl Tl H h 1 111 C 111.

We accept him as we find him, dirty, drunken, miserable, wretehd, and we lead him first to inde pendence and then to salvation. ' "Our colonization scheme has worked admirably. We have outside of London 5,000 acres ot land settled with men and women and children we have saved from tie slums of London. , We hope to push i colonization idea all over the world. re in America, with millions and mil- Ins of acres of unoccupied land, the f(li!em ought to be easy of solution. ive convincea tne world tnat the bf rescuing people from the misery of the slums can be done not only cheap ly, but at a profit. "We want to establish a place of refuge iu every city, town, village and hamlet of the world, and from these places of refuge ,ve want to transfer the men and women we have saved to homes where they can ive in contentment and peace on the fruits of their own industry." wrieiM Are we ait liklitor Wealth Makers: The election being over it would be ell for us to inquire, " Where are we What have we done? What are ve going to do in the future? As to where we are at, I wish to 8R3 , tory the most critical. It is for out leaders to determine whether we are to sink iuto-oblivion or riBe to a position where we can shape the destiny of this nation. Shall we, as a party, choose for ourselves the results experienced by the old Greenback party? Or shall we profit by their experience? Just at the time that party began to be felt as a fac tor in the nation, the old parties, real izing that something had to be done, either to appease the wrath of the com mon people, then arising in their might, or lead them into a trap by which tl!y wotild become harmless, they sought r 1 ti ttnn Tlio u-Anlrur nf tha t.wina wnu .innnun rn cnnrr. riif iilit iimitim. hiiu fiire her into its clutches by pretending - . . a. 1 . r.. ..1 ... nn 1. . . vii inev were 111 iitvur ui iiiii.t ui uci rm measure llius aeceivea oy '':L r..1.... ....... ..k ...nA 4n fnan with one wing of her old enemy. The re sult of that act is already a matter of history. As regards the second question, what, as a party, have we done? I wish to say that we have killed our would-be seducer, or at least have so mangled bim, it, or her whatever you wish to name it that if we are a mind to we can either capture that part of the enemy or drive it to the other wing. And as far as we are con cerned it would make but littledifference, There are but two places for the voters of America to go. The gold bug Demo crats have already found shelter in the Republican fold. All others will have to go to the Peoples' party, unless wo throw away our opportunity by fusion. Had our party repudiated the Omaha nomin ations and thereby compelled the Demo crats to run their own machine, e would have been off to-day. The result of the election shows, to my mind, the fact that at least half of the Democrats (notwithstanding they endorsed most of our ticket) voted for the Republican candidates. I venture the statement that there were more Democrats voted for Majors thau for Holcomb. Had it not been for the vote for Holcomb of dis appointed Republicans Holcomb would have shared the same fate of the rest of the ticket. Had the Democrats thrown half of their ordinary strength to that part of our ticket which they endorsed, they would have been elected by a safe plurality. Counting the strength of the Democrats iu the .state at 60,000, thirty thousand of that vote given to the nominees of their own party, iu con nection with the Independent vote, would have elected every one of them. But the treachery of the World-Herald iu advocating the election of a gold-bug congressman, and the advice (as was published in that sheet) of our state committee for the Independents in Doug las county to vote the Democratic ticket Is this a fact? Editor Wealth Makers lost us the respectofmany Republicansin other parts of the state, that would have voted with us, thus losing us votes we otherwise would bawe got. Let it be understood now, tlmtif w are constantly going to run after either of the old parties who have betrayed the people aud have led us to the verge ol bankruptcy, that we had just as wel! quit. If our basic principles do not diffei from other parties, why have we tried tc organize another party on their founda tion? This never has succeeded and never will. Every intelligent People's Party mau knows that every fundamen tal principle underlying our reform movemeut differs as widely from that oi any other party as day from night. Then why try to patch the old garment with the new cloth? Or to put new wine into old bottles? I have just as much hope of securing the reforms we advocate through the Republican party as the Democratic. But measuriug my hope from either source it is as nothing against nothing. ' . ' . j Now as to the future. Let ns declare from this on, that we ask no quarter, and give none. Let those that endorse oupprinciples understand that they must muster with our army or paddle their own canoe. Until the old parties aban don their present basis I will never run for any office where any principle is at stake under any endorsement from either old party. I would far rather go down under defeat than succeed wh( re there would be the least compromise of prin ciple. Thus far I have done what I could in my bumble way to forward and build up the cause of our party. And I expect to do the same in the future, if our lead ers will keep free from en tangling alliances with other parties. Right here I wish to say that Judge Holcomb can go far in establishing the party upon an independ ent basis. Should he in his appoint ments, undertake to place in office Dem ocrats instead of tried and true Inde pendents, it will cast a shadow upon our future success. There have been men that have fought hard and long in our ranks, who have made it possible for such as he to occupy the highest position in the gift of the people of Nebraska, who ought to be given the preference, and thus gather around him a force and give hint a power that will help shape the destiny of our party, and free it from the elements of suspicion that wonld otherwise rest upon it. Hoping the ship will be steered clear of rocks of disaster, I remain true to our principles. J. H. Dakngr. That One Plank Party The 0110 plank party can't be born. There is no one to maintain and sus tain the infant. There never was a one plank party, and probably never will be. One idea won't run a nation like ours. It takes more ideas than one to manage Uncle Sam's business. The Populists of Texas will not e.en consider the one plank proposition. While they favor the free coinage of silver plank, they also favor other re forms of greater importance. The Colorado free silver people are talking about a free silver party. They had best organize a free silver party in that state first before they attempt to start a national party on that one issue. If the silver plank people think they can swallow the People's party they will find, ou trial, they are a Jonah swallow ing the whale. There are 200,000 Populists in Texas, and all of the single silver plank party men among them can be counted 011 one's fingers and have fingers left. No change is needed. The Omaha platform is good enough for the People's party of Texas. If it can be engrafted on to the government body, not only free silver buds will grow, but a number of others that will bear good fruit. If the one plank free sliver party is de signed to disconcert the Popu lists organ ization it will fail. The Populists are satisfied with their platform and with the success it has achieved before the people. They propose to keep right in the middle of the road and forge ahead.

I have come, and the world shall be shaken Like a reed, at tbe touch of my rod, And the klundotns of time shall awaken To the voice of the summons of God; No more through tbe din of the ages Shall warnings and chiding divine. From the lips ol my prophets and sages, Be trampled like pearls before swine. Ye have stolen my land and my cattle: Ye have kept back from labor It meed;' Ye have challenged the out-cants to battle, ' When they plead at your feet In their need. And when clamor of hunger grew londer, And the multitudes prsyed to be fed. Ye have answered with prisons or powder, Tbe cries of your brothers for bread. I tarn from your altars and arches, Aud the mocking of steeples and domes. To Join in the long weary marches Of the one ye have robbed ot their homes; I share In the sorrow and crosses Ot tbe nuked, the hungry and cold, And dearer to me are their losses Than your gains and your Idols ot gold. I will wither the might of the spoiler, I will lannh at your dungeons and locks. The tyrant shall yield to (he toiler. And your judges eat grass like tbe ox: For the prayers of the poor have amended To be written in lightnings on high. And the wails of your captives have blended With the bolts that mist leap from the sky, Tbe thrones of your kings shall be shattered And the prisoner and serf shall go tree; I will harvest from seed that I scattered On the borders of blue Galilee; For I come not alone, aud a stranger Lo! my reapers will sing through the night Till the star that stood over the manger " Shall cover the world with it light. The Arena, If yon want to trade a iittie money and a good horse for a good piano, see or write to J. H Dobson, 1120 M St., Linvolu, Neb. This is a bar gain you don"t pick up every day. For 1806 Make the best of your spare moments between now and the great contest of 1896. Study the questions of land, finance and transportation, the three essential planks of the People's party platform. The air is vibrant with athousandand one reform remedies, not incorporated in the platform, some good, others ques tionable and still others that are both impracticable and bad, but none of which have received the endorsement of the People's party. Do not let these confuse you, they have at this time no place on the party program. Populism is a power today all over these United States. Don't weaken it. Don't credit it with reforms not men tioned in the platform. To you and us they may appear to have superior merit, but not so by the majority of the party. In advocating the principles, of the party be reasonable, dispassionate, ac curate, firm. You will thus disarm pre judice aud what you have said will be weighed and considered. Around your own fireside there will be no brass bands to distract your hearer, no spread eagle orators belching forth sophistries, no hectic hued oil cloth capes and tin helmets to dazzle the eye. None of that. Just yourself and friendly neighbor reasoning together in a quiet, practicable, sensible way. For the next eighteen months the old parties will be fighting over the spoils o) office. If we are wise we will take advan tage of every hour and educate and organ ize and make every preparation for cer tain victory. God gives us the strength to do right and persevere to the end though beset with reverses and discour agements. Pittsburg Kansan. WtroiMTtfiitin1 .. noa At.
