Is 1t a New Party?

There seems to be a great horror in
the minds of large class of people Of
a new political party. Even Alliance
papers, (some of them in noticing the
action of the alliances in many locali-
ties looking to the nomination and
support of peoples ticket, pause to
apologize and to explain that it is not
an effort to change the order into a
political party. Why all this nonsense?
Let US give the facts as they are, and
leave it to the old party papers to de-
clare that we must keep out of politics.
They have to lie any how, and we do
not.
If the members of the alliance in a
county or congressional district get
together and decide that they will have
nothing more to do with the old parties,
and that they will nominate a peoples
ticket and support it next November,
what does it mean? It is not neces-
sary for US to make any apology for
this action, or seek to disguise its
character. The people who do these
things know what they are about, and
they are not asking US to make any
apologies for them. They mean peo-
pies party, and they are not ashamed
of it. Let us learn to call things by
their right names when we see them
with our own eyes. We would point to
Cowley and Butler and some other
counties and ask what those people
mean if they do not mean peoples
party? Do not let US insult their in
telligence by insinuating that they do
not intend to do what their acts plainly
declare they are doing. Away with
such nonsesse. Let the lines be drawn
and do not make mistake and get on
the wrong side.-Advocate.

GOOD NEWS FROM NEBRASKA.

Encouraging news for Alliance
men comes from all parts Of the IN
ion. In Nebraska the main fight has
been for the privilege of building
elevators on the railroad right of way.
The companies would allow only one
or two to be built at each place which
gave the favored party or parties mo-
nopoly of the grain business. About
year ago the Farmers Alliance at
Elmwood, Cass county, applied TO the
Missouri Pacific for permission to
erect an elevator on the company's
right of way at that station. This
the company denied. The Alliance
applied to the state beard of trans
portation for relief. The board heard
the case and after deciding among
appliance necessary for the shipment
of grain and that the granting of the
right to erect elevators to other par
ties and refusal 10 grant the request
Of these compliments was an unjust
other things that an elevator was an
and unreasonable discrimination. or
dered the company to grant the COM
plalnants a site for an elevator.
This order the company refused to
obey and Attorney-General Leese
applied to the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel the COM
pany to obey the orders of the board.
The supreme court has granted the
writ. The decision is Justly regarded
as an important one, as it settles the
question of the power and jurisdiction
of the board of transportation over
this class of cases. It also settles the
rights of the people to erect elevators
at the company's stations and to be
accorded equal shipping facilities
with all others. The Alliance is
pushing things and winning on every
hand when it comes to a trial of
strength against the corporations

THb REMEDY.

Exchanges have been and are be-
ing organized all over the country
for the purpose of obtaining cheaper
provisions and necessities, or in other
words to combat the high prices ask
ed for commodities as a consequence
of our present commercial system.
This of itself is a worthy and much
needed movement, but let US note
briefly what effect these exchanges
haveupon the different elements of our
commercial system. We hold that
the reason so many exchanges have
failed, and the reason that many will
yet fail. Is because they do not reach
or even touch the foundation or cause
of high prices. Members of the ex-
change may and probably do buy for
less, but who is the loser? No one
but the retailer whose custom the ex-
change draws, and who is in as much
of hole aad who is hampered as
much by the same cause as is the ex-
change. The wholesaler, the syndi
Gates and trusts, who buy up and cor
ner these commodities, and who fix a
price for them to suit their greed, are
not affected In the least by the ex-
change, and these same gamblers who
thus fix the penalty for our existence
by exacting whatever price they see
fit, chuckle in their sleeves and say
''ass" and 'foor' at every effort of
the people to reach the cause of their
depression by any such method.
There can be no remedy for our
hard times that does not strike at
their cause, and the cause, so far as
prices are concerned, is pools and
corners and the only way to reach
them is through congress, but so long
as our congress is in itself a hot bed
of pools and corners, the people must
be without hope, having but one rem
edy left them, and that is to retire
from congress the traitors that have
been feigning to represent them and
send In their stead men who are of
the people and with the people

IsA Translator

English laborers in their use of titles
are governed by etiquette, which is the
strong law of custom. The shoemaker
of the hamlet is addressed as MASTER"
Blank. Those below him in the social
scale are called by their Christian
names. The laborer addresses an in
ferior or an equal with %thou," but
never superior.
The wife of shoemaker who earns
less money than good shepherd is the
social superior of the shepherds wife,
and is addressed as Mistress" The
shepherds wife ranks the wife of the
day-laborer, who holds herself above
the wife of some one lower down than
her husband.
It is the occasion for a smile when we
read on a negro boot-black's sign the
announcement that Professor Blank
shines for five cents" but the boot
black IS only following an old precedent

1t is said there is plenty of money
in the country-as much as there
ever was, but who owns it? Why,
the corporations of course. The
wealth created by labor has been alb
sorbed by the banks and loan COM
panies in interest; by the transporta-
ton companies in excessive charges,
in order to pay dividends on watered
stock; by insurance on the lives and
property of the people; in short by
the fellows who never produce a dol
lar, but absorb it as sponge absorbs
water. If the government could own
one railroad and operate it in the
interest of the people one year, with
in ten years the government would
own every railroad in the United
States, and this is the ultimatum of
the transportation question. Every
patron of the roads will then be dealt
with justly and no favoritism will be
shown. There will be no strikes nor
lockouts, and the whole matter can
be conducted as smoothly and sys-
tematlcally as the postofice business
is at present.-Aliance Tribune,

ssParson DAM, Broke Ris Oath.

The boys called him ~Parson DAN
His real name was Daniel Higgins. He
was quite so years old and under the
average height, but he was as tough as
hickory and the best workman In the
whole foundry.
Long before made his acquaintance
he had got religion" and not being the
sort of man to rest satisfied with merely
saving his own soul, he went to work
zealously to impart religion to others.
Far worse preachers than @Parson Dam
earn big salaries in fashionable churches.
But @Parson Dan" had hard crowd to
deal with, and much of the seed he
scattered fell on stony ground. Often
he was subjected to q deal of coarse
chatting. He endured it good-naturedly
and never retalisted. But this is what
made me regard ~Parson Dan" as one
of the finest men I have ever met:
One day during the dinner hour he
was holding forth on his favorite topic.
Among his listeners was On apprentice
named Will Preston. As Ill luck would
have it, Jake" Donohue, the foreman
of the department in which the lad
worked, came along that way. He was
q big, vicious-tempered fellow, and
the terror of the men under him. For
some reason he had a grudge against
Will Preston, and forthwith began to
abuse him fouily. PEARSON Dan" in
terceded for the lad. Then Jake turned
his profanity upon him.
"You internal psalm-singing hypo-
critic, I'll teach you to mind your bust
mes"
With that he struck the lad blow
that knocked him down.
%Don't do that" pleaded PEARSON
DAM "it's cowardly." )
Jake's response was a still more sui
phurous cutburst of oaths, and to show
his contempt Cor "Parson Dan" he
aimed pick at the PROSTATE lad. /!
For a moment "Parson Dams" face
was study. 1t was that of a man
struggling against an overwhelming
temptation. He turned pale, his lips
were compressed, his hands elinched.
Then he stepped forward. There was
nothing suggestive of the preacher in
his manner.
stop it !" ne exclaimed, sternly, cor
I'll make you'll"
Jake was so sstonished that he could
merely stare without word.
But to cease to be brute would be
an acknowledgement, he evidently
thought, that he was afraid. So he
turned to the boy and made a move
ment as though about to kick him again.
Quick as flash "Parson Dan" sprang
at him, and with blow straight from
the shoulder struck him on the point of
the jaw. Jake" fell to the floor like a
log. It was as clean a Knockout blow
as have ever seen delivered at prize
fight. The men broke out with q spon-
taneous cheer. "Parson Dan" looked
unutterably detected.
~God forgive me-" he exclaimed,
"Pve broken my OATH"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
why, sir, years ago I used to be a
and when got converted
I took an oath that I'd never strike O
man again, and now I've done it. What
will become of me?"
Everybody assured him that no angel
would record that blow to his discredit.
