Urown of Topcka , one of the Kansns democratic leadcrti who has never pulled In unison with the fusion machine , but who has nn Idea that the democrats ought lo take a stand In state affairs lhat will pre serve the Identity of the parlj , Instead of aiding perennially In pulling out of the flro political chestnuts for the enrichment of the populists , was In Omaha Thursday night. Ho Is denominated the spirit and In- Hplratlon of genuine democracy In the Sun flower state L flt September ho started n movement for the organlntlon of a coalition of young democrats , but when they mot at Ilutchlnson the fuslonlstn , led by David Overmeycr , Atwood and other ardent fol- lowcra of Dryan and populism , rushed In , und captured the organl/atlon. The con ference was railed for the organization of n ' democratic league , but the men who aecurcd control of It protested against calling It i democrats , as that would bar the populists I nnd In consequence It was termed the Sun flower league. Mr. Hrovui says the league ! II.IH since died nnd now he Is out with an 1 other project for the organl/atlon of n young men's democratic league and will call n mnB3 meeting soon In Topcka for that purpose. Mr. Ilrown Jocularly congratulates hlm- f.olf over the fact that ho has secured the endorsement of llryan for such a movement. In Its Initial Hlcps ho visited Hrynn and asked him to vlalt Kansas and nddrosa Biich a meeting of democrats and when IJrynn expressed inability to do so. lirovvn blandly asked him to write him n letter en dorsing the democratic organl/atlon. Ho savs that Mr. Hrynn wrote him a strong letter on that subject. Later J. G. Johnson , Ovormeyer and othur fusion conspirators in Kansas learned what llryan had done and j the result was that llryan sought to recall I bis letter , but Brown would not have It that way and refused to return It. The result Is that Drown slnco then has not been a very ardent Dryan man. Antl-FimIon Oruniilrntloii , Ills plan does not contomplite a bolt from the democratic ranks. On the contrary he proposes to organize nn anti-fusion demo cratic organisation and try to capture the next democratic state convention , using as Iho lever for that purpose a proposition to resubmlt the question of prohibition In Kan sas nnd wlpo the existing prohibition stat- nto from the Kansas Inwbooks. If ho Is successful , the democratic convention will declare against fusion and will go Into poli tics on Its own hook. "Of course , If wo are unsuccessful , we will stand by the action of the convention , but I bellcvo wo will bo successful. The democrats of Kansas can never get rid of the prohibition lawh while the party fuses with the populists , " said Mr. Hrown. "Of the 100,000 democrats In Kansas , there nro enough real American democrats to con trol n democratic convention , nnd you may hear something drop If joti keep your ear to the ground. I would like to see de mocracy ( lo something once. For forty years we've been squatting behind a Irg waiting to see what the republicans ad- \ocated , and then wo would take the op posite side. 'Fernlnsters1 has been our real lodge name , nnd 'If the republicans nre for It , knock , ' has been our motto. This Is hardly less than Idiotic. The democratic party ought , by right , to bo the leading progressive political force of the world It was so Intended originally by name nnd principle. The trouble is , we've been squat ting back BO much and waiting that the republicans have stolen our thunder. Now vvo feel that our sole right to existence comes from our time-honored Imblt of knocking. Expansion l.s n democratic Idea , a democratic principle. Jefferson wcs nn expansionist. We've got on the other side because the republican party rooted ns out "I am an expansionist of the ciiotl radical Bert I believe the yonng democrats of Kansas nro largely the same way. I'd go cm ono better and annex Asia. I don't mean that the United States government ought to get control of territory and colonize sub jects to bo taxed without representation but America Is the product of expansion , especially In a commercial way.

POPULISTS ARE AT WORK Nebraska to B Center of Mealoine-MUIng in Peopls's Purty National Politics. SITUATION IS SUMMED UP BY A LEADER Ufforl IlcInK .tlntlc to IlrliiK tlir Nn- tlonnl Committee to Miicnln , tlic Home of Hr > nn state Conven tion to lie llelil Mnrch It ) . According to good authorities , Nebraska Is this year to bo the center of mcdlclnc-mlx- Ing In populist national politics.At the recent meeting of the Nebraska state com mittee nt Lincoln , at which qulto a num ber of the members of the national com- uiltteo were In attendance , several ques tions wore precipitated which promise to bo the bone of contention nt the populist na tional committee meeting between those who favor maintaining the distinct Identity of the populist party and those who want to surrender through fusion to the demo crats. As stated by a well known populist lender , the situation summed up as follows : "Tho next populist national committee meeting will see the committee squarely divided between the middlo-roaders nnd the ! fuslonlsts. Chairman llutler is Just now j I engaged , In taking a vote by loiter of com mittee members for the time nnd place of this mcellng. The time Is practically agreed upon for February 12 next , but iho locallon Is ( being contested by both Chicago and Lincoln , "At the meeting nt Lincoln a week ago j the wires were laid to bring the national j i I committee there nnd the Nebraska cent t tlngent has been exerting Its Influence In behalf of the stale capital. Their Idea Is that the fusion program would be promoted by having the committee meeting at Lin- coin , the home of Dryan , and the capital of the only state that was carried for fusion at the last election , and by locating the national convention at Kansas City. The comtnltlcemen favoring the meeting at Chicago cage , on the other hand , are Instigated by a desire to have Its sessions uninfluenced by fusion pressure and to have the national convention held entirely independent of luo democratic convention In some city of easy access lo Iho soulh. Cincinnati would prob ably bo their choice , although the city has not yet been nercod upon. "Another question which will draw out a vigorous conflict Is that of the tlmo of holding the populist national convention. Iloii't Want to lie Trapped . \urnln. "The fuslonlsts want the convention called for Kansas City some lime In June , vvllu itho expeclatlon that by some understanding with the democratic leaders the democratic convention would bo called for the same time and place. The southern populists will fight this from the stall , because their pro gram contemplates calling the national con vention at least thirty days prior < to the conventions of either Ihe democrals or the republicans and launching a populist ticket In advance of all other nominations. I presume - sumo the chief reason for Ihla Is that when the populists held their convention four years ago , after the democratic convention , and put up an Independent candidate for ! the vlco presidency , with the understanding . lhat ho would be endorsed by the demo crats nnd the democratic candidate with drawn , the agreement was violated and both candidates for Ihe vlco presidency remained j In ' the field. These populists soy Hhey do not want to be caught In the same trap a second time nnd they therefore want to take the Initiative themselves. " The populist stale convenllon will be held nt Lincoln on March 19 and considerable activity is being manifested among thee who would like lo be delegales to the na- Uonal convention , taking It for granted that the Nebraska delegation would be made up entirely of populists who favor the fusion Idea and who are ardent adherents lo the Dryan cause. There will also be some com- pcllllon I for Ihe position of national com- mltteemen , Nebraska , like all other states , being allowed three members of thai body. Incidentally il leaks oul lhat at the meet ing of the state committee at Lincoln an effort was made to pass a resolution pur porting to depose D. Clem Deaver from his position as member of the national com- ) i { mlllco from Nebraska. The resolullon was Introduced by ono of Governor Poynter's IP appointees and was supported by those sup- I poaed to represent the state house crowd. A sharp discussion followed In which the authority of the state commltlee lo Inter fere wllh the national coinmitteemen was questioned and tbo resolution failed to carry , A call boo been Issued for a meeting of tbe Omaha city populist committee for this evening. Although the object Is not staled It Is understood thai maller.s I relating lo Ihe coming clly campaign are to bo discussed. "I am Indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my health and life.

The Idea Is to explain In do- I tall ' the need of a new High school build- | Ing. I , Last ) enr the South Omaha High school ( enrolled 113 pupils. This je.tr 163 pupils hn\o been enrolled and n class ot twenty-five la nearly ready for admission. Judging from present Indications the Hoard of Education Mill lm\o to provide for nt . least 200 pupils next September nnd make arrangements for receiving fifty more In February , 1901. Vn hike nil cities of Its slzo South Omaha receives pupils Into Its High school twice each ) car. This Is considered a very de slrablo plan , slnco It saves many children ElT half ) ear In their High school course. Those who graduate from the eighth gradt , In the winter nro thus taken at once Into the High school , and hence nro much moio likely to continue attending school than It permitted to enter the High school enly once a ) ear nnd after a long summer vaca- tlon. tlon.All All the public schools In the elty nre tilled almost If not quiteto their full ca pacity , but the High school la especially overcrowded. In January , 1S09 , the total enrollment was 3,100 , while nt the pres ent time It Is 3,600 , an Increase of COO pupil * In ono year. The school district now uses sevcnty- three school rooms and emplojs clghlthree teachers. There are nine large buildings nnd two two-room school houses , School property In South Omaha Is quite \ulimblc , ns substantial Btruotures huvo vb been erected whcne\er any building has been done. At the present tltno the dis trict Is not bonded , nnd the Intention now Is to nsk the people to vote bonds to the tin amount of $100,000 for the purirose of erectIng - Ing a High school commensurate with the Iin needs of the cit ) . It Is estimated that a. ello for such a building will cost In the neighborhood of { 15,000 , while a heating plant will cost about $10,000. Deducting M these two Items from the total lca\cs $75- 000 for the erection of a building. While nearly every one admits the ne- ccsslt ) for such n brlldlng the fact that taxes are unusually high here may tend In a measure to work against the project. One business man mild yesterday that n new High school building was badly needed , but he did not favor voting bonds at this time on account of 'he ' paving bond trouble now worrjlng the city offlclals. Another resi dent stated that the property of the school district was the only thing In South Omaha that was not bonded , nnd he did not con sider It good policy to mortgage It Just now. The present High school Is hut poorly suited ' to the purposes to which It is belns put , nnd it will not be long before a new building will be demanded by the patrons of the schools. Members of the Board ol Dducallon are anxious to have the bonds \oted , as they consider that more room Is needed. However , up to the present time the board has not pushed the matter , and it is understood that It will be left to the pee ple. A mass meeting to dlscuse the project has been suggested and one may be called when Superintendent Wolfe secures suffi cient data to present the question In a proper light. Council JH In compliance with n request from the Southwest Improvement club the city coun cil held a special meeting last night for the purpose of taking action on the extension of the Q street car line. An ordinance pr3- \ldlug for the extension of the line from Thirty-third and Q streets to a point be tween Fortieth and Forty-first and Q had been prepared by an attorney of the club nnd this was Introduced and passed under a suspension of the rules. This ordlnanco provides that the extension ordered shall be completed within forty dajs from the passage of' ' the ordinance and that the com pany shall equip each car or train with n motorman and conductor. Further , enough cars to properly handle the traffic shall bo placed in service. For violating any of the provisions of this ordlnanco a line of $100 may be assessed. Each day bejond the forty dajs gi anted for the completion of the building shall constitute n separate offense and lay the company liable to u fine. fine.Tho question as to whether such an ordi nance can be enforced was brought up and the original franchise granted to the com pany -was produced and read. Section 3 of the franchise provides that the company shall be subject to all reasonable require ments In construction nnd operation , Im posed by tbe mayor and council by ordi nance. Members of the council hold that the demand for the extension of the Q street line Is reasonable nnd therefore within the limits of the provisions of the fran chise After the street car ordinance had been passed Johnston offered n resolution direct ing the police department to recognize I'at- rlfk J. King as police judge instead of W. S. Ilabtock. In support of his resolution Mr Johnston asserted that the courts had held that other business than that stated In the call may bo transacted nt a special meeting. Mr. Kelly rose to a point of order. Ho did not dispute Johnston's assertion about the ruling of the court on the point of business other than that stated In the call being transacted , but ho called the attention of the council to the fact that this ruling only held In cases where all members of the body were present. Fur ther , Mr. Kelly fltated that the passage of such a resolution would only tend to com plicate matters. Mayor EiiEor ruled with Kelly on bis point of order and Johnston's rcfcolutlon was tabled. lleiiiililleiin Chili AfTitlrN , At n recent meeting of the executive com mittee of the Young Men's Hepubllcan tjub the t work of conducting the coming cam paign was divided by apportioning to each member of the commitlro a rcrtiln depart- ment.
