Minnesota Jubilee Celebrations. Texas Surely Populist. Camping on Trail in California. Alabama names a Ticket. Oregon Determined to win
Peoples Party News Bureau:, ) Headquarters National Ex. Committee > St. Louie, Mo., May 7.) The last state election in Rhode Island showed an increase of nearly 100 per cent in the populist vote. Minnesotans ape arranging for jubilee celebrations in which the people are to be brought together in great crowds and enthusJd with stirring addresses and songs. Picnics and barbecues will be features of these celebrations and proceeds of these meetings will be used for campaign purposes. The populist state committee of Nebraska met at Hastings recently and decided to call two state conventions, the first at Grand Island, July 15, to select delegates to the national convention, the second one for the nomination of a state ticket to be held at Hastings, in August, the date to be fixed by the executive committee. Each congressional district will have nine national delegates and three will be chosen at large. Col. R. J. Sledge of Texas says: “I never saw such rapid growth as that of the cause of Populism in all sections of the state during the last two years. In the"blection of this year we are going to poll fblly 70,000 more votes than we did in 1894. We can easily elect our ticket with a united democracy to oppose us.” But the democratic party in Texas is divided, which makes success doubly , sure. ' The populist women of Denver Col., have organized an educational club for the diffusion of political information among their voters. The state committee of the people’s party of Missouri met at Marshall on April 24, and fixed J uly 30 as the date for the state nominating convention, the place to be determined later by thfe executive committee. District conventions will be held some time in June for the select tion of delegates to the national convention. The state committee elected three delegates at large as follows: M. V. Carroll, Leverett Leonard and W. C. Aidredge—good men and they favor a union Of all reformers. \ California populists are making great preparations for their state convention at Sacramento, May 12. Delegates have been elected and many of them from interior counties will go to Sac ramento by wagon, camping along the route and upon the capitol grounds during the ses sion.
The state convention of Arkansas will convene at Rock on July 15, for the nomination of a state ticket and the election of delegates to the national convention. Reports from Maine indicate that the democratic party has been almost entirely wiped out of existence in that state. There are alsb a large number of re- . publicans who are disgusted with dresent conditions and liable to bolt their party this year. Proper effort on the part of the populists in that state will result in large accessions to their ranks. Reports from Oregon all agree that what is most needed to carry the state is a few strong speakers from the east and south and arrangements have been made to immediately place them in the field: It is a signficant fact that Hall of Missouri and Patterson of Tennessee, the chief administration “cuckoos” in their respective states, have been turned down by their constituents and will fail to secure renominations. Notwithstanding the efforts of a few of our editors to dis- - parage the work of the people’s party news bureau a great majority speak in terms of highest praise of the service. A prominent Nebreska editor says: “The bureau letters are doing lots of good here in the way of giving encouragement to our voters as to the situation elsewhere," The populists of the nineteenth Ohio district have called a convention for May 23, to
select delegates to the national convention and nominate a candidate for congress. Gen. Coxey, of common-weal fame, is campaigning in lowa toots at present. He will spei||,; the last two weeks of Oregon. In the high th congressional district of Tennessee the populists have elected W. F. Knight of Madison, W. C. Pugh of Carrol and W. H. Hamilton of McNairy, as congressional delegates to the national convention. A. L. Minnis and J. H. McDowell were endorsed as delegates for the state at large. West Virginia populists are arranging for an active campaign this year. Gainfe to the party are reported from nearly every section and there is a strong hope of carrying many counties. There is talk of a combination between the populists and democrats in Idaho On electoral and legislative tickets.
The populists of San Juan county, Colorado, in recent convention, among other things, passed the following: “We believe that in the national campaign of this year the financial plank of our platform should be made the most prominent. And we believe that such wise and judicious plans should be adopted as will bring about a union of all the reform forces in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. independent of the action of any other nation.” The populist s;ate convention of Maryland heartily endorsed the work of the People’s Supply company, of Baltimore, and instructed its state chairman to send to the various state chairmen of the populist party a copy of a resolution passed, calling upon all the populist x state organizations to co-operate with the enterprise in every way possible. All populist orators are requested to write to the People's Supply company, Baltimore, Md., for its special off hr by which they can defray their expenses while traveling. The lowa state convention, held at Des Moines on the 22nd ult., was one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held ip the state. The sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of a union of reformers, and a strong delegation was selected so the national convention; headed by General Weaver. The Hon. W. H. Robb will go as a delegate at large. The Hon. T. F. Willis and Captain J. F. McClanahan will represent the eighth congressional district. The populist state convention of Alabama, which met at Montgomery the 28th ult., was a much larger representative body than the most sanguine expected. They nominated for governor by acclamation, Albert G. Goodwin, who addressed the convention in a terse and aggressive manner, stating that he would not submit to being counten out and that he expected to be elected. Resolutions were passed eulogizing, United States Senators Allen and Chandler for their recent investigation resolutions presented in the senate relative to Alabama elections, and congratulating Captain J. N. Pharr and the Louisiana populists on their recent state fight. A strong delegation was selects ed* to the national convention, all of whom are in favor of a
union of reformers.’

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IRD., THURSDAY, M4Y 7, 1896.
Letter by Rev. Peter Foulks.
The Lord hath sworn and will uoc repent. Thou an a priest. utter the order of Melkezi-diah.—P-alms ]lo:4. This scripture opens up to us the high priesthood of the Jewish nations. It teaches us that God formed the universe and made man to hold dominion over all the species of the earth. It teaches that this Jewish priesthood should be changed into a reality. He chose the Hebrew nation to carry ou t his great designs. The Jews got their name in Babylon when the misteriouß hand writing appeared on the wall The king’s countenance fell and he was troubled and his wife went to him and told him not to be troubled for she eaid there was one of the Hebrews that was brought out of the land of Jewery that could interprit the language, and that was Daniel, and from that night down to this, almost the twentieth, century the Jews have carried that name, a nation holding their name and identity without form of government, and yet they hold the yellow keys of the financial system of all the earth.
God tfeed symbols and types. The priest represents the Lord, the ark or tabernacle, the throne or kingdom. The Lord told Moses to build a tabernacle with two divisions, the inner court and the outer court, the newer court was to represent God, where no man was permitted to enter on penalty of death. As God is a spirit no man is permitted to look upon him and live in this mortal flesh, therefore this inward court and the outward court was to teach us that we must pass down through the dark valleys and shadows of death before we can en ter into that inward court or heaven.
The outward court represents the world and the people; the inward court represents God and his kingdom. The lamb, blood and water Symbols are deep thoughts for us to fathom. The body of the lamb represented the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. The represented the Holy Ghost or spirit which Christ sent or poured out on that day of penticost. Moses was commanded to take the blood of animals, hyssop and pure water and sprinkle the whole congregation, baptizing them in the person of Christj or covenant. Now we see that the Jewish nation incorporated these symbols in their law and every year they issued a proclamation to all the nations of the earth tq come up to Jerusalem and celebrate the Passover, not without bringing up of their flocks a lamb, one year old, male, without spot or blemish, It was slaughtered outside of the temple the blood carried to the high priest, who poured it< down at the foot of the altar; then he entered into the holiest of holies and offered up prayers for the nations of the earth. J
Now was this priesthood changed! David taught that this priesthood was to | be changed. Paul paid, that it was to be changed: “Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life hut like unto the eon of God abideth a priest continually.” • > Thera were sixteen prophets; four |;reat ones and twelve leader" '* opte. . prophets kept up a prophesy concerning the kingdoms of the Wth rising up and crumbling to pieces, centering into that great high priest, which was to come outeide of Aaron or hie lineage. Isiah said, “For unto a Child is born; unto ub a son is given, and the govern ment shall be upon his shoulders and his name shall be called Wonderful, counsellor of The mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. The prophot Micha, (ch 5.) “But thou Bethlehem, Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Juda, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto one that is to be ruler in Israel, whoeetgoing forth have been from old, from everlasting.” Here we see that the prophet points out thevery town or village that he was to be born in, and tells ub the very tribe, Juda, then tells ub how the town changed its name from Epheratah to Bethlehem. These propheeies were uttered over seven hundred years before their fulfillment.
Thia high priest was not to be a physical or temporal priest but a spiritual priest abiding forever. You infidel who says this Bible is a Jewish history and a fable, I ask you who is leading the nations of the earth to-day? Is it not the Jewish race? England, France, Germany, Scotland. Ireland, Spain, Italy, and America are all led by this Jewish history or literature evidence to every man that this history or bible is the works of Him w’ho formed the universe, and the leading nations in science and knowledge are those that have adopted the Jewish scriptures. Now let us say to all adopt that Jewish high priests teachings, do -to that neighbor as you would have that neighbors do to you, and to all nations traffic and trade with them as you would have them traffic and trade with us. Then wars will cease, murder, theft will be no more. Then would come, “Peace on earth good will to all mankind and to all the nations j>f the earth.” Mrs. Hershman has received a mag nificent line of the newest and most stylish pattern hatsand millinery goods.
