Populists in Pennsylvania are organizing <-tfectively-in every county’ of the state. Mrs. Anna L. Diggs- has been appointed by Governor Leedy, Superintendent of the school for girls at Be soil. Kansas. Tne New York legislature has passed a bill lo authorize the establishment of a farm school for the boy waifs of New York City. The Populists of Kansas believe in organization; they are now getting re idy to make a fight on ouureii men throughout the state who are advocating the gold standaid.

The Regents of the Kansas State University are making many changes, y isely dispensing with toose pi ofessors whose views and tear .lings are antagonistic to the good of the great common people.

A meeting is to be held at an early day iu lowa to decide on some means of counteracting the effect of the anti fusion law in order that the state may not be handed over Oodily to the republicans at the election. Laboring men of New York Cit have formed a political union for the; purpose of securing recognition from the political parties. It is believed that this new political movement can control 50.000 votes in the city proper aiotie. The political fight, this summer promises to be a hot one. The anti-poolselling bill finally passed both houses by good majorities, and reqeived the Governor’s signature. This bill prohibits aosolutely bookmaking, poolselling and gambling of of any kind anywhere in the state, in buildings or out of them. The Legislature rightly took the ground that gambling is a crime.

If the friends of free silver and the reforms that would follow it are not soon aroused to the need of immediate, concerted and systematically maintained action, the gold standard party will have gained headway that we will be unable to cover in 1900. The Sound Money League, having headquarters in Chicago, has begun circulating subscription papers in New York. About a million dollars was subscribed in a few days. Men like Rockefeller, George Gould, Carnegie, Pullman, Morgan and Wannamaker have agreed to an annual contribution up to 1900. The greatest care is to be takpn in regard to the character of literature sent out. All matters will have to pass through the hands of a committee. The constitution of the League states that its purpose is to perpetuate the gold standard in America. The educational work will be carried on through leagues and clubs, state, county and precinct. The subsidizing and corrupting of the press will be in the hands of Mark Hanna’s department at Washington, D. C. An excellent offset to this is proposed by Governor Altgeld and it will probably be known as the Altgeld library scheme. It is proposed to establish a small free library at every possible point, to contain works on the money question. It is interesting to note that on all lists so far prepared, the majority of the books are by our People’s Party writers. j

A Havana telegram to the Chicago Record says that the destitution on the island is increasing to a shocking degree, and people in many towns are dying of hunger* A general famine in many districts is threatened. If the devastation continues much longer, and the producing classes are forced to remain idle, an appeal will have to be made to Americans to send provisions for the starving people. The conditions now threaten a near approach of this general demand. Is it not about time for our government to interfere in the interest of humanity.—Ex.

The silver forces can find no fault with the commission, and the president has certainly showh his good faith in his selection. But to secure the desired conference and the consideration of the proposition is quite another matter, and to one who understands the temper of the controlling elements in the political life of the great powers, the task of the commission seems certain to prove bootless. Will the world’s money lenders voluntarily give up so distinct an advantage as they now hold under the monometallic system? It is not to be expected. What the result of years of tribulation may bring, may not be forecast, but so long as they hold the key to the situation, and enjoy that situation, no change may be looked for.

Senator Chandler has exhibited many vagaries in his life as a public official, but last week lie surprised everybody by an aberration which places him in the front rank of state socialists. He introduced a bill into the senate empowering the secretary of the navy to take possession of the steel armor plants of the Bethlehem and Carnegie companies. The senator claims to find authority for this in the fifth amendment to the Constitution. The principal section of the bill authorizes and directs the secretary of the navy forthwith to take possession of such land, buildings and machinery as constitute the armor-making plant of the two companies. He is directed to hold and use such land, buildings and machinery for a period of time sufficient to enable said secretary to manu facture the armor plate necessary for the completion of the battleships Alabama, Illinois and Wisconsin, now in process of construction for the United States, and thereafter to return the possession of said land, buildings and machinery to said company. This seizure shall be deemed to be for the public use of the United States under an obligation to make just compensation therefor. That the exactions of the steel companies are outrageous is not to be denied, but Senator Chandler’s remedy is worse than the disease.
