NonconformUt.l
Two weeks ago the Nonconform
ist called attention to some of the
good work being done by Popnlists
in Washington. As we proceed in
this direction, more and more comes
up to the credit of our faithful band
in Congress. The Nonconformist
pleads guilty to a lack of that ener
getic newspaper effort that should
appear in every well regulated Pop
ulist paper to magnify the good
work done by our representatives.
The old party press uses its best en
deavor to hide what is done by Pop
nlists and magnify the work done
by their own partisans. We should
learn .wisdom from their tactics and
let our people know what our rep
resentatives are doing. It is with
shame that we review the past win
ter and see many Populist papers not
only refraining from any favorable
notice but actually engaged in un
just and bitter criticism of those rep
resentatives. Such action is doubly
disastrous. It withholds the truth
from the reader who wants to learn
what his servants are doing, and
when he is heartsick from lack of
good news, be is made woll-nigh
frantic by the uniust attacks of the
only newspaper he takes, and the
tendency is to make him lose faith
in mankind; lose respect for all
organized effort, and look forward
with forebodings to the time when
red-handed war will drench the land
with blood. Such is the fruit of onr
careless neglect of duty toward onr
standard bearers. The Nonconform
ist has not in the past indulged in
criticisms of those representatives,
but hereafter, we do not propose to
ignore their work. Several of them
have sent us kind acknowledgements
of the brief recognition given to
their efforts "and the more we exam
ine the work being done, the more
we find to commend. We have had
many letters commending the speech
es as published in this paper, of
Congressmen Howard and Vincent,
Several papers have copied those
speeches and the demand is increas
ing for this information. The Non
conformist hails with delight this
turn of affairs, and if we shall cuc
ceed in rousing some of the old-time
enthusiasm in the boys we shall be
well repaid for the effort. We are
pleased to have been the means of
bringing these speeches U the no
tice of our press brothers, and they
are invited to continue in the good
work of scattering abroad the good
news, from any source obtainable,
of the work being done along dis
tinctively Populist lines in Congress.
Carrrying out our threat to expose
the actions of Populists in Congress,
we will begin right here with some
of the "trouble'' made by Senator
Butler. The principle of the Refer
endum is a distinctively Populist
doctrine, and on December 22, last,
Mr. Butler introduced the following
resolution (No. 34G) in the Senate.
' Resolved, That a special com
mittee, to consist of three Senators.
be appointed and hereby instructed.
through a sub-committee or other
wise, to it quire into the feasibility
of applying the principle of Direct
Legislation through Initiative and
Referendum to the legislation of the
Federal Government, and to report
to the Senate at this session, by bill
or otherwise, the results of said in
quiry; and that for the purpose
hereof the committee be authorized
to sit in the city of Washington, or
any other city of the United States.
and employ such clerical aid as may '
oe necessary 1"
lhe resolution failed of adoption
at that time and Mr. Butler is mak
ing another effort now. The ad
vantage derived by such an inquiry
is very evident. It is an expensive
and lab rous task for a man at his
personal expense to investigate the
history and working of the system of
the Initiative and Referendum, but
when public omcials shall nave ac
cumulated at public expense the
needed information, and we have it
in public documents ready for our
use, we can all appreciate the value
of the labor. This Mr. Butler is
trying to do. Again Mr. Butler has
introduced the following resolutions
in the Senate during the present ses
sion: '
No, 71: "Resolved, That the Sec
retary of State be, and is hereby di
rected to send to the Senate any in
formation in the possession of the
State Department, or which may be
hereafter acquired, relative to the
nature and operation of the various
postal savings bank systems now in
operation in other countries."
No. 90: "Resolved, That the Com
mittee on Postoffices and Post-roads
be, and they are hereby, directed to
examine and report to the Senate as
full information as practicable con
cerning the nature and operation of
postal savings bank systems now in
operation in other nations: and
further to report whether a postal
savings bank system can be success
fully and advantageously put in op
eration by this Government. That
said committee shall have power to
prosecute their inquiries through a
sub-committee, which may sit during
the recess of the Senate at such
times as may bethought necessary."
No. 9G. "Resolved, That the
Postmaster General be, a id is here
by, directed to send to the Senate
the reports received by the State
Department in obedience to a circu
lar sent by Secretary of State Blaine
on May twentieth, eighteen hundred
and eighty-one, to the consular rep
resentatives of the United States in
strnctingthem to obtain from the
severel foreign governments; certain
information as " to the practical
workings of postal telegraphs and
postal savings bank in operation in
such countries, which reports were
referred to the Postoffice Depart
ment; also any other report or in
formation from onr consular repre
sentatives pertaining to the same
subjects which have been referred to
the Postoffice Department: also oth
ft information which the Postoffice
Department has or maj hereafter
receive relative to the nature and
operation of postal telegraphs and
postal savings banks in foreign
countries." '
It is here seen that he has called
li t. " . puDiie expense
vi an ins miormaiion obtainable by
the Secretary of State, by the Sen
ate Committee on Postoffices and
Post-roads, and by the Postmaster
General relating to the operation in
other countries of Postal Savings
Banks another distinctively Popu
list measure. When this informa
tion is obtained and laid before the
Senate, the Populist members will
be in possession of the material with
which to fight for that measure, and
will present for the public in the
form of earef ally prepared speeches,
the facts that will cost more to gath
er than the purse of one man or sev
eral men could stand. Thisfwork
done and being done by Mr. Batter
is one of vast importance, but this is
not all nor even a large part of the
"mischief in which he has been en
gaged. Laet week we began for our
readers a speech made by the Sena
tor from North Carolina. It is con
tinued this week and will be con
cluded next week. He has here
plunged the knife into one of the
festering ulcers that no Senator hes
heretofore dared to expose. He has
marshalled an astonishing array of
official evidence to show annually
there has been voted away without
any valid excuse more money in fa
voritism to a few railroads than the
annual deficit in the Postoffice
amounts to. In other words, he has
shown that the Postoffice Depart
ment has been self-sustaining, but
that through connivance of officials
or through personal favoritism
enough money has been voted awa
to railroads with a "pull" to make a
considerable deficit in the Postoffice
Department. The money went for
"Sound Money" campaign expense
and the "dear people" thought they
were paying to keep up the legiti
mate expenses of the postal service.
Read the speech on first page and
see how the railroads have bled the
people.
The good influence of Mr. But
ler's work has not stopped here, but
the information given by him has
startled the public conscience and
hit the "pocket nerve" the most
sensitive one in man's anatomy and
such prominent, and able men as
Judge Walter Clark have taken hold
and are using these facts to still
further enlighten the public. See
Judge Claik's article on first page
of this issue of the Typographical
Journal. He has also written for
the Arena, and others are engaged
in similar lines, so that Senator But
ler's efforts are being felt very wide
ly. We are about to keep up this "ex
posure" of the actions of Populists
in Congress so that Populists every
where may know that they have as
brave a Spartan band In Congress as
ever represented a noble cause.

This party goes without absolutely

brightly on the fertila fiM. mA
splendid mansion of Col. Dinwiddie,
there was little of its sunshine in the
heart of its owner on that May day,
fifty years avo. With a paper in
hand, near sunset, he sat out on bis
front veranda, looking dreamily and
moodily ahead at a sloping wheat
field across the Dike. How Wntifni
it looked! How the recent rain a haul
brought it ont. filling
meshes these chaff thatched grana
ries with the product of the sun
and soil! Near, the big poplars in
his own yard lifted their red &n1
yellow wax blossoms to heaven or
showered them on tbe blue irr&a
carpet below. A hundred sweet fra
grances filling the evenins- air.
hundred homely sounds fell on his
ears. Among them, and dearer
than all others, was the occasional
whinney of a stately matron in the
paddock beyond, disturbed for a
moment because her own suckling
had strolled off to caper and play
mimic racing with some other mare's
degenerate offspring.
"My faculties are peculiarlv acuta
this evening," said the master to
himself, or else I am a rank coward,
unable to stand misfortune. I never
saw the old place have such a charm
before," he continued half aloud. "T
don't mind giving it qd so mneh nn
my own account, but Anne"
"What! fathert" answered behind
him, a voice lull of 'sweetness. "Did
you call me!" and a beautiful girl
stepped out from a bay window and
1 a - -
layiog ner nands affectionately on
his shoulders, reached over and plav-
uiiy Kisseu mm.
With their faces thus totrether. it
would not require a close observer
to see the striking resemblance be
tween Anne Dinwiddie and her
ather Left motherless at an early
age, Anne had found in one parent
all the loye and affection usually
given by two. Nothing could ex
ceed the colonel's tenderness and af
fection for his daughter, and noth
ing Anne's pride, love and admira-
ion for her father. Perhaps her
ife with a masculine mind had given
stronger tnrn to her own. instead
of the feminine cast and; romantic
play that might have been expected
under other circumstances. Or,-per
haps she inherited it from her
father a strong, firm man himself
or the girl was known as much for
her practical sense and firmness as
for her matchless beauty. This eve
ning,, in her baby-waist gown of
white muslin, cut low-neck and short
sleeyes, her auburn hair gracefully
coiled behind a shapely head and
tucked in with a large mother-of-pearl
comb, inlaid with srold. her
face aglow with a silent happiness
which bespoke another love within.
tbe girl was divine, and her father
drew her to her old place on his
knee for though nearly twenty she
was to him the little tot of two
years the same he wept over in her
crib the night after her mother was
aid away forever, and the first grief
of his life came to break in on his
ambition the ambition "to breed
the best horse that ever lived on the
best farm in Tennessee."
The colonel was a man that spoke
to the point, and of few words. In
his daughter he found a mind in
which his own sought help and ad
vice. All his business was known to
her. Even many of his breeding
problems he had tried to solve with
her aid, and it was no little, for "she
had pedigrees and records at her
tongue's end, and knew the great
horses of the past as mariners did
the stars. '
"My child," said her father, blunt-
y, "I haye gambled once too often;
am afraid I ve ruined us," and he
ooked away across the wheat fields.
An expression of pain came over
the girl's strong face, but she said
nothing. This one question of gam
bling on horses was the only one on
which her father and herself had
differed, and the look she now wore
showed that at last had happened
what she always feared would hap
pen. At length she asfeed:
"How much is itt"
"Forty thousand dollars" his
eyes still on the distant fields.
"Can you pay itV in a tone which
showed she was more afraid of her
father's honor suffering than of be
ing left penniless herself.
"Not unless I sell the horses
"Then sell them," came the quick
answer.
"And the farm," he continued.
"Let it go, too."
"My child," said her father, as he
rested his eyes steadily on her face,
"of course 1 shall if it comes to the
worst, but but " and he caught
himself stammering like a school
boy, as he gazed in the sweet, hon
est eyes of his daughter "Anne,
there is another" he stopped
again, with a look of positive annoy
ance on his ciear-ent face. The twi
light shadows had fallen, the lamps
were lit in the hall, but still the
father broke not the silence.
Cur'pony! Cur pony! Cur' pons !"
came from across the meadow, as the
stable boy stood in the pasture and
called up the yearlings for their
evening meal. Around the corner
of a ' neat cabin a sprightly vonng
negro was picking a banjo, accom
panying the deep, rich notes of the
instrument wim a voice in perfect
attune "Ahoo a, an' er-who-ah
ahoo-a, an-er-who-ah ahoo ahoo,"
sounded the voice on the still even

"Father! father!" exclaimed the

It Am I to be won by a man merely

said with sudden impulse, as she
seated herself in his lap and took
his face in both her hands and laid
her face against his, "did not my
dear mother love you? You know
what I mean how I mean!" and
tears rolled down from her brown
eyes.
"By the eternal, yon are right!"
said the Colonel, as he arose hastily
with a trace of emotion in his own
voice.

and) started into his room, "you are

I hadn't thought of that," and the
door closed on his form, a trifle bent,
Annie thought, as she sank in a
chair and wept from sympathy for
her father.
But there never was a girl like
Annie Dinwiddie. Tears did not
stay with her long. She dismissed
the captain with a contemptuous
sniff as she vigorously wiped her red
nose and eyes, and then sne fell to
thinking with her practical little
mind to find a way to help her father.
Throwing an Opera shawl over her
head and rounded shoulders for the
air was chilly she sat silently rock
ing and looking up at the stars
Presently the big gate at the pike
shut with a bang and a few mo
ments later the rhythmical feet of a
saddle horse played a tune as they
pattered up the gravel walk. On
came the horseman till the animal
reached the portico where sat the
silent figure in white, when he shied
suddenly to the left. The ease with
which the rider retained his seat
showed he was accustomed to such
antics from his horse, and the dex
terity with which he pressed a knee
in the animal's chest and whirled it
about face with a twist of a firm
hand, made the girl's eyes sparkle
with excitement. In a moment the
rider had bounded o'er the railing
with:
"Hello, Anne, is that the way you
frighten off your beauxT Sit out
here in the dim light with just
enough white about your head to
frighten their horses to death, and
haye them plunging all about over
your white pink and forget-me-not
beds!"
"Jim J Jiml How could you?"
laughed the girl, as she arose and
shook his hand. "Didn't I tell you

"O. Anne," he said with boyish
enthusiasm, as he drew a chair up
close to hers, I just eouldn't stay

But Jim's mouth was stopped with
a hand over it whieh he proceeded
to kiss, to it's fair owners chagrin
for she immediately withdrew it and
gave the kisser a rap on the head
with the other one.
"Jim! Jim! Don't be a goose,"
she said- "You don't know how sad
and worried I am to-night," and she
proceeded to tell him all her father's
troubles.
Jim and Annie had been play

"Tbe only classie I wast.; he said
to Anne after he came back home,
"is you. When I think of yon.
Anne." he said "I see all the god
desses and nymphs and uutni of
old. You seem to mm like ono of
thore Grecian temples I read of,
with pillars so statelv and vrr.
thing so perfect. Yon seem to be
long to another age, so d ffcrent
from mine so far away, and sweet
aad dreamy, and hieh above no.
and for which my goal yearns. O,
Anne, can't you love mf "
And Anne would laneh and toll
him, "Sfavbe, Jim, some day." And
the big fellow would be satiiSed and
glad to be allowed to see her now
and then and bide his time.
"Forty thousand dollars is a big
snm to owe," said the now thought
ful Jim, when Anne had told him
all and Jim knew by tbe way she
spoke that she was silently weeping.
Then she said softly:
"Jim, who could bave.taken such
an advantage of fathtiT Perhaps it
was fair as far as gambling pmi.
Jim, but you know how honorable
and fair father is. and and I've
heard those kind always lose in the
erd, you know, Jim."
Jim was silent. "Must I reallv
tell you, Ann"" ho said at lesarth.
"Weil, it is none other than Capt
oidney."
"Oh, Jim!" said Anne, in aston
ishment, "how did you know!"
"Never mind." be said nuietlv.
T ,tA . v 1. .1 f
for me to tell you, Anne, but I know
it for a certainty; besides 1'te an
idea in my head that may help n8."
-un, Jim! do. do helD ns dear
Jim," she said impulsively, "you are
clever and know so much that ii
practical, and are so honest and
kind and true. Oh, Jim, if yon can
help us I never will forget "
"Anne!" he said, catching her
hand, "God knows I wonld die for
you or the colonel, either. He's
been the kindest, best friend I ever
had. He's a gentleman every inch
of him and you, oh, Anne, I would
die if you were out of my life! But."
he said, suddenly checking himself,
"please forgive me this is no time
for that. What a goose I am!" After
pause: "Anne, I'm going now.
My head is too full of a plan I have
to talk longer. A calamity such as
you have mentioned would simply
wreck yours and the colonel's life
and mine, too," he added, slowly,
"if your's was. We all have a
chance some time in life to show
what we're made of," he continued,
"and now is my time. And I am go
ing in heart and soul. I'll show you
I'm no feather-bed friend, but one
who can love in prosperity and love
harder in adversity. Oh, Anne," he
said, growing excited, "this fact is
as old as the stars: That tbe feath
ered and plumaged hero' of occa
sional prowess is worse than worth
less in the battle of life and the true
standard of measurement. There
are a billion of miles and a million
of dead worlds between him and the
unassuming actor who does bis duty
every day just because it is bis duty,
a. a ae a. -
wnemer ne feels like it or not. and
regardless of the fact that no crowd
is looking on to applaud with a brass
band. Nothing," he said, earnestly.
in the moral world is so cheap as a
good intention, and nothing so sub
lime as the unassuming act. I don't
know what I can do but. Anne, 1 11
try, for your's and the colonel's
sake even if you marry another.
Don't cry" for Anne was crying
softly "but good night. You will
hear from me again," and the brave
fellow was in the saddle.
"Jiml"
The horse-was spurred up close
under the balcony.
"Jim!"
And the golden head bent over
the railing, till the red lips touched
his ear, and the smell of her per-
fnmed hair seemed to the bewildered
Jim like the glory of tbe fragrant
locks of all the goddesses of ancient
Greece.
' Jim.dearJim! I-I-think-I
love you now. Goodnight!'! And
she was gone, while Jim sat in mute
silence and inexpressible happiness,
looking up in the eyes of two stars
that twinklnd above where her own
had just been. And looking, Jim
wondered whether he was really
alive on horseback, or was only a
spirit of joy winging its way to the
two stars which shone above him in
the place of Anne's eyes.
A moment later Troup, his saddle
horse, became convinced there was
no spirit there, for he felt a vigor
ous thrust from anything but a spir
itual foot in his side, and be bound
ed away in a gallop.

the fact that the interstate mo.

spito of the fact that the trunk liSe
pool case is now before the 8apresse
court, and beeee the pooling bill

the trans-Missouri eases. The Mta-
ators who have been obieetin? to
this Qibeard of SDoed in ttaaaiae a.
bill for the relief of tbe railroads of
tbe country have at least unearthed
bat tbey believe is the reason for
tbe haste.
There is a story sflat, which has
not yet been denied, to tbe e feet
that when tbe great railroad corpo
rations were appealed to for funds
to help carry on the last eainne,iii
sy were at first rather slow. All
the arguments advanced bv Mr.
Hanna as to the danger to the eouo-
ry of tbe success of tbe silver move
ment and tbe danger to the railroads
themselves of giving power to men
ho openly opposed all aggregation
of wealth were in vain.
Toe big railroad corporations of
the feast apparently by some pie
concerted move declined to contrib
ute at all unless they eoold make
terms. Those terms were said to be
tbe passage of a pooling bill saeh as
tbey detired. Whether this story is
rue or not, it is a fact that a mem
ber of tbe interstate commerce com
merce commission made tbe charge
direclly at a meeting of tbe Senate
committee on interstate commerce.
and it was not denied. He declared
that the present haste to pass a pool
ing bill was a direct result of a cam
paign bargain."
(This. "indecent haste" was ex
posed by Senator Batler in bis re

The Vies Pati m t. TL ihai
lays before tbe fteeate. aa a rrt o
the moraiag baaiaooe, the rooolattoa
submitted yesterday by tbe Heuiat
from North Caroliaa I Mr. Batler.!
The reeolatioa waa rooJ. at f.J.
lows:
"Kseolved. That tho Comm. i too M
Privileges aad Elect oas be. and is
hereby, instructed U theatre iato
the feasibility of applying the prin
ciple of direct lofjislaUoe, tkroacb

ent, aad report to tbe tfoaele at

Hereafter as practicable, bv till or
otherwise, the result of aaid ia
quiry." Mr. lliTLxa. I had iatendedod to
peak at some length this morning
opon the reeolatioa. and to show
that direct legislation is the eesoaeo
of democracy aad that oar rotroaoo.
tetive form of goverameat might bo
improved aad broagbt nearer tbe
people by the application of tbe
methods of direct leeislatioa knewa
as tbe initiative aad re fere ad a sa to
Federal legislation. I interned t.
show how tbe ancient riebt of ttoti.
tion eonld be made effective by tb
iaitiative how a given per eeat f
tbe voters eoald by petition rota
maod Congress or tbe legislature to
beed tbeir petition. I id tended to
show how through the referenda a a
eettain per rent of the voters coal J
demand tbat a law passed by Cos
gross or the legislature deemed to be
oppressive or grossly najast I sub
mitted to a popular vote.
I intended to enumerate a somber
of laws passed by Congress and the
various State legislatures wbicb tbe
people would now repudiate aod re
peal if tbey had the opportunity to
East upon tbem. I intended to show
ow the referendum wonld destroy
the pernicioos inflaenee aod efforts
of tbe trust aod monopoly lobby
that infests legislative balls and too
often iaflaeoeia the people's repre
sentatives to vote for measures
against the public welfare. I in
tended to show how the system
works in the Swiss Republic, and
how in a modified way it is now em
ployed to a greater or leas exteot ia
nearly every Bute in this eoooUy.
And finally I had intended to show
that the principle of the initiative
and rsferendnm eoald not be op
posed by any Democrat who indorses
the declaration of Jefferson that tbe
people are capable of self-government,
nor eoald it be oppoeed by
any Republican who holds to Lin
coln's idea that this should be a gov
ernment ot tbe people, by the peo
ple, and for the people.
However. I shall not take the tine
of tbe Senate this morning to disrass
these matters, bat will bs content
that the resolution be adopted and
go to me Committee oa Privileges
and Elections. I will reserve my re
marks until the regular seeaioa next
December, when the committee
named in this jreeolation makes its
report. I do this, ia view of tbe dis
cussion on yesterday about efforts
being made to delay the tariff bill, in
order that tho Peoples Party mar
not be responsible in the least for
soeh delay. I am noxious for the
Republicans to past their tariff bill
and have an opportunity to start op
tbe promised wave of prosperity.
l ask that the resolution be acta 1
upon now.
Tbe ice PacMDEXT. Does the
Senator from North Carolina move
that the resolution be referred to the
Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions Mr. Bctler. No, Mr. President,
be reeolatioa instructs the com m it-
tee to inquire and report bow far the
principle of direct legislation can
practically be applied to Federal
legislation. The Senate must pass
the reeolatioa in order to instruct
tbe committee to do this work- I ask
that tbe reeolatioa be now adopted
by the Senate instructing the com
mittee to make the report.
