THE POPULISTS. They Declare Their Views in an Address to the Public. St. Louis, Dec. 81.—The work of the conference of the national committee of the people’s party with the leading members of the rank and file came to a fruition Saturday night when that committee submitted to the conference as the result of its consideration of the discussions of the conference an address to the people. Its presentation was met by the gathering with a shout that rang througli the hall, and the indorsement of the conference was given with vigorous viva voce rvote. The address follows: "The rapid increase of our vote in every part of the union and tt?e startling evoqts of the last two years vividly justify both the existence of and necessity for the people’s party. The contention of the party that one of the great needs of this country has been and is an enlarged volume of circulating medium is now practically conceded by ail parties and by the government. The gold power and banking interests are insisting through the president and his secretary that the enlarged issue of our money supply -shall be given exclusively into the hands of the banks; t , that silver shall bo excluded, all treasury notes retired and gold alone should be a legal tender, thus making title monetary question an issue which must be met at once. "Within the present year the corporations, grown arrogant because of the vast possessions of wealth and the exercise of unconstitutional powers, have made war upon the peoplo pnd induced the federal courts to exorcise in their interest unusual and arbitrary powers; induced the invasion of the states by federal troops without the request of either the executives of said states or the legislatures thereof, and are at this time, through a recreant administration and a truculent congress, attempting to clothe the railroad corporations by means of a .pooling bill with power to further and more systematically rob. oppress and plunder the people; and having already deprived the people of access to-the silver mines of the country as an independent source of money supply are now*, in the interest of a banking oligarchy, endeavoring to deprive them of the right to have their government, in the exercise of its constitutional power, issue the money of the nation and control its volume. "In the opinion of your committee? these events arc startling, subversive of the liberties of the citizens and,destructive of business and social securij-.v; and. adhering to the Omaha platform.in all its integrity,.your committee inisists upon the restoration of the coinage of gold and silver as it existed prior to 1573 at the ratio of 10 to 1-without regard to the action, of any other nation, and that air.paper/irnoney shall be issued by the general goveriujpnt without the intervention of banks the same to beivfull legal tender. W "We also deelu.ro our implacable hostility to the further issue of interest-bearing bonds. "We denounce the pooling bill as a move toward completing the monopoly of transportation and demand that instead congress proceed to-bring the railroads under government ownership. "The power'given to congress by" the constitution ‘to,, provide for the calling forth of the militia to execute the laws of the union to suppress insurrections, to repel invasions,’ does not warrant the government in making use of a standing army in aiding the oppression of the public and their employes. Whon free men unsheathe the sword it should be to strike for liberty, not for despotism nor to uphold privileged monopolies in the oppression of the poor. "We ask the people to forget all past political differences and unite with us in the common purpose to rescue the, government from the control of monopolists and concentrated wealth, to limit the powers ot perpetuation by curtailing their privileges, and to secure the rights of free speech, a free press, and trial by Jury—all rules, regulations, and judicial dicta in derogation of either of which are arbitrary, unconstitutional, and not to be tolerated by a frte people. "We recommend the immediate organization of un educational campaign by the national, state and local committees. '' In addition to this address the national committee adopted the following resolution: <© "In view ol the fact that the state of Alabama and other southern states are without a republican form of government because of the rule of a political oligarchy which is perpetuated by monstrous frauds at the,ballot-box. the imperative necessity of u free ballot and an honest count is a constitutional right, and we demand that it be given and move that the chairman of the, national executive committee appoint a committee of three to submit evidence to the press of the country and to congress to substantiate this alarming and revolutionary condition that they may be awakened to the peril caused by this existing autocratic anarchy in the south." \ The following 1 were .appointed: J. C. Alabama, chairman; I Henry I). Lloyq, Illinois; Lee Crandall, j Alabama. { In addition to the address as given above, the national committee adopt- [ eel resolutions indorsing and urging i tiie extension of the industrial legions ; and providing methods for their closer • alliance with the national; also a res- ! olution recommending the establishment and issue under the direction of ! the committee of a monthly populisji serial at the Washington headquarters I and its.distribution. , ALIVE AND WELL.

POEMS OF THE DAY. My Little Maid. Looking into her clear gray eyes, My little maid. I watch their chanceful lights arise, Not undismayed; For should I wrong her gentle trust, Serene, complete. What keenest loss forever must My future meet. We walk through ways with danger fraught, Os naught afraid, In sweet exchange of inmost thought— My little maid. —Gora S. Wheeler, in S. S. Times. Unnecessary Sympathy. I always felt sorry when I met JimPoor fellow, he’s married now; And life is a serious thing to him, For ho lives by the sweat of his brow. And the cares of a familywetgh him down, And ho slaves to run the bouse; Why, Jim was the gayest boy in town; And I'll?bet he’s as poor as a mouse! And because he looked so worn and sad, I tried whenever we met To talk of the good times we'd had, In hopes that he might forget. Till I said I was living at the club; Then I felt a deep chagrin; Lest he should think I was trying to rub Hismisory further in. But he.exclaimed; "That’s a horrible life! No child to climb on your knee; No quiet home and the loving wtfo’’— By Jove! He was pitying me!" Harry Rpmaine, in Life. Uhcertainty. Sometimes I dream, with quiet thought in my own heart, If in her thoughts bnt one of me e'er taketh parti: It may hot bo for me to know, And yet I pray it may be so. For in my heart she always is; each thought and every prayer That surely she must know how she is enshrined there. It may not be that she docs know; O that I could but tell her so! The CheerTul Man’s Sermon. It’s easy to smile and be cheerful When everything's pleasant and fair; We never complain of life's hardships When there are no burdens to hear. But as soon as tin; blue skies cloud over, And tho way that smooth has grown rough. We forget the blithe songs wo were singing, And our fa.es are doleful enough. But some can be cheerful when shadows Arc thick round the pathways they tread; They sing in their happiest measures With a faith in blue skies overhead. They face with a smile that s like sunshine The trials that come in their way. And they always find much to be glad for In the lonesomest, dreariest day. Thank God for who is cheerful In spite of life’s troubles,-I say— Who sings of a brighter to-morrow, Be- ause of the clouds of to-day. His life is a beautiful sermon And this Is Its lesson to me: • M.< ct trials with smiles, and they vanish. Face care, with a song, and they’ flee. —Kben 10.
