HEADQUARTERS AT ST. LOUTS. Plutocracy is Alarmed at the Growth of the Reform Forces. THE mDEPEKDBNT VOTER IFt THE SSDDLE FOR HIS RIGHTS.

The condition of the people, s party in the south is growing better every day. Tn Tennessee the party is now more compactly organized than ever before; especially is this true of the middle ard western sections of the state, and the outlook for success in Texas, Alabama and Georgia is certainly very bright, Reports from Minnesota indicate that our meetings are being more largely attended than ever before and the enthusiasm in many places is at fever heat. Populists are not carried away by the cry for free silver, by the democratic party. Says J. H. Lydiard, of that state: “We know that if any reform is to be prevented, betrayed, bagged and bedeviled, the democratic party is the ready medium for such work.” A populist male quartette com posed of well trained Welsh miners, from Macon county, Missouri} promises to be one of the entertaining features of the St. Louis convention. Several state delegations are also planning to bring bands and glee clus to the convention. Several congressional districts in Missouri have held conventions this month for the selection of delegates to the national convention. The resolutions are generally favorable to a union of reform forces on the cardinal principles of the Omaha platform. • The latest advices from New York indicate the growth of reform sentiment in that Wall street cursed, monopoly ridden state. Populist clubs are being organized in many of the rural districts where our doctrine has never been preached before. Verily, when New York can be aroused there is hope for the country. Abram T. Line, of Cumberland county, Pennsylvania, an old worker in the reform cause, writes: “Everything here looks favorable for a very large increase in our vote in this state, this year.” Solon Chase, of Maine, the old time greenbacker, writes: “The people’s party has a foothold in this state and we shall largely increase our vote, this year. There is an opportunity now for the people’s party to make a ten strike. If unripe problems are kept out of our platform and we steer clear of all entangling alliances, we shab elect the next president, or clear the ground, so that victory will be sure in 1900. If the mer. know so much that they can learn nothing from the logic of events, run the St. Louis convention, the day of deliverance will be put off.” Reports from North Cai’olina indicate a very satisfactory growth of the people’s party in that state. Silver democrats and republicans are joining the people’s party in great numbers. The result of the Oregon election is all that populists could wish for. Mr. Pitch, a member of the national committee from that state, in his paper, has this to say: “Two congressmen, the possibility of being able to control the state legislature and 40 per cent of the county offices, is the people’s party recovd made in Oregon. These returns sav furthermore, that no gold standard candidate for president can count on Oregon this fall. A magnificent canvass was made by those grand men who came over to help us. They were met everywhere by large audiences and their grand efforts will be appre ciated. by every true populist. Weaver. Davis, Whitehead, Sovereign and Burkhart,patriots all. noble, grand men. How much we owe to them for our grand success. Charmed by their eloquence, convinced by their logic and earnestness, t housands have joined :he mighty army of reform. Let the old guard doff thenhats and let our forests resound with thiee mighty cheers for the grandest quintet that ever stormed the moss-covered forts where rolls the Oregon.” This victory was achieved by a combination of bimetallists, and to a large extent, the silver republicans. and silver democrats, with the populists. It was done in the people’s party on a people’s party platform, on the money question as the paramount issue. Ev-

erything else was brushed aside. Every populist it: the laud can take fresh courage for the grand campaign tnat will follow our national convention, July 22nd. Geu. Weaver, who had charge of. the Oregon campaign on behalf of the national executive committee, did his work well and deserves the praise of every populist and loyal citizen of our country. E. T. Winston, editor of the People’s Banner, Pontiac. Miss., writes that very little effort will be made to organize that state until after the national convention. The congressional convention for the 4th Mississippi district has been called at West Point, on Thursday, August 6th. The unofficial returns from Oregon, give the populists two congressmen besides Penoyer, mayor of Portland, but the republican trixters aad gangsters in that state are trying to juggle the figures and cheat us of the fruits of victory. The populists of San Antonio, Texas, are organizing clubs in the city. The same is true in many other leading towns in Texas. Stump Ashby, chairman of the people’s party state committee of Texas, has been engaged to speak in Indiana, duiing July. The free silver, people’s party and reform press editors of Minnesota, held a meeting in Minneapolis the first of the month to organize, for the purpose of working together harmoniously during the campaign. The Maine populists in state convention June 4th declared for the coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 and the issue of Uuited States currency to the amount of SSO per capita, Resolutions were also passed favoring the government ownership of railroads and telegraphs. L. C. Bateman was nominated for governor by acclamation. He has twice before been the nominee for that position. Frank Chancellor, of the Pioneer Exponent, Comanchee, Texas, writes: “Populism in me Bth congressional district is all right. We expect to elect our candidate with ease.” The call has been issued for a state convention of the people’s party of Missouri, to be held at Sedalia, July 30, for the purpose of nominating a full state ticket A system of railaoad and wagon excursions will be inaugurated and a large and enthusiastic conj vention is assured. a correspondent from Michigan writes that there is a growing sentiment in favor of populist principles in that state, since the stand taken for gold by both old parties. The 'populists of the 6th Texas district held a congressional convention at Waxahacbie, June Ist, and nominated Barnett G ibbs as their candidate for .Tress. His election is assm--d. as the district was curried by the populists two years ago, aiido'iH’i) the., populist nominee wos counted out and the democratic nominee counted in by less th in a hundred votes.

Russian Thistle.

Bulletin Agricultural station. The iiusaiuu thistle is uu doubtediy the greatest weed pest that has ever been brought to this country from the old world. If taken in time, however, before the ground becomes tilled with its seeds, it can be held in check, or even exterminated. The farmers of Indiana, and not only the farmers but all other citizens of th§ state, should be on the alert to detect the first inrotds of this pestiferous plant, aod by destroying the young plants prevent its securing a foothold, or at least make its advance very slow! Last year it was found growing in Lake, LaPorte and Elkhart counties, near the Lake Shore railway, and it has also been noted as far south as Winamac and Pulaski counties. It has certainly gotten a good foothold in.the northern part of the State. It was also found last season on the eastern border of the State, at Liberty, in Union county. It is therefore taking the State from two directions. This is exactly the way in which the prickly lettuce came into Indiana. The latter now covers nearly every part of the State, and unless vigorous and vigilant measures are used, the Russian thistle will soon be an equally common aud far more disagreeable and harmful weed. The Russian thistle is rather soft and even succulent in the early part of the season. When the seeds begin to ripen in July, the whole plant becomes more rigid, the stems harden and every part of the plant becomes armed with short, stout spines. If the plants are not gathered until they are prickly, they should always be burned, as the small inconspicuous seeds ripen up in drying and fall out to start another crop. In the Northwest, the Russian thistle is a tumble weed; that is, it grows in a globular outline, keeps its form after dying, and loosening from the soil rolls here and there as the wind blows it. The shaking of the plant dislodges the seeds, and they are scattered far and wide. Often one plant will sow the seed over many miles of territory in a single season. As the plant extends southward arid eastward it loses its tumble weed habit somewhat, but not enough to rob it of any appreciable part of its terrors; it only spreads a little slower. The necessity for the utmost watchfulness to secure and burn the first plants that appear in a locality cannot be too strongly urged.

Vilas Won’t Vote for McKinley.

Milwaukee, special: Senator Vilas spent Sunday in this city. He was asked by a Journal reporter: ‘‘Did you see the report in the Chicago Tribune ’that you said you would vote for McKinley. and that Mr. Cleveland would also? Is it so?” ‘‘Yes, I saw the statement. There 1b not a word of truth in it. I have never entertained such a purpose and I never heard Mr. Cleyeland say a word which would give the least suspicion that he had. The story is fiction_pure and simple, an election canard, when everything goes.”

Wherever the gold men in the democratic party (there is not many of them left) can’t carry the state conventions, they are bolting and electing a contesting delegation—that is, where there are enough of them to make a respectable bolt. There is no such thing as the world’s money. Gold is valuable, but its value is mostly artificial because it is in demand as a material on which to stamp money. But it goes for its weight in foreign countries the same as silver, Dork or beans. “Sound money,” so called, means a high-priced dollar that is to say a dollar that will buy more of the products of labor. Then it will require more labor to get it. The man who has the dollar is benefited, and the man who has to perform the labor Is worsted. That iB what “sound money” means in a nutshell. But the strange thing about It Is that the fellow who has to do the work will shout and vote for it.
