JOHN 7. PICKETT.
Philadelphia club Of the Players league.
He is also the lively young man that made
things very interesting in baseball circles
during the winter months. 1t will be re.
membered that he signed a three years
contract with the Philadelphia clubat that
time, thereby. IL Is alleged, jumping his
contract with the Kansas City team and
preventing President Speas from selling
him to the National league.
For a while the baseball cranks had
plenty to talk about. and when the Phila.
delphia court Of common pleas granted an
injunction restraining him from playing
will or selling his services to any club
other than that Of Kansas City they fairly
howled with excitement. Inasmuch as
the Kansas City management had paid st.
Paul 1900 for Pickett IL is not 10 be won
dered at that they did not want to lose him.
However everything is all right at last
Pickett is playing with the team of his
choice and the Kansas City management
have re~linquishe all claim to his services.
Pickett is one 4 the best players in the
country. He !, an average batter, his
fielding is prett ;. rapid and accurate, and
on bases he has few peers.

WHEN you catch a weazle asleep, you
may expect to find the willy John Sher-
man mapping. If there is ever any
emergency in Wall street, any danger to
money monopoly, Johns eyes dilate
until lie takes in the whole situation,
and his long finger points tine way out.
His skill in defeating popular demands
and bringing the money barons out
whole has become proyerbial. Allison
is good, but in a great emergency John
Sherman is the standby. Who but John
Sherman could have defeated the popu-
lar demand for free coinage with a ma
jority Of both houses i'm favor of it, and
at the same time checked down the
Threats of the mortgaged people bill
absolutely demonitizing silver and COM
polling the payment OF bonds in gold?
Wall street will yet insist that John
Sherman go to the top round of the lad

battle for supremacy is over. When the
people bow down to the dictates of such
demagogues, is it any wonder the peopIe
mourn? When christianity and mOrali-

der that Wall street, the still houses and
the original package vendors triumph

Of a government how long will that

The nomination of A. F. Allen for
congress by the Peoples party yes
terday is, in the obvious point Of view,
a strong one. Mr.. Allen has been, up
to his acceptance of the platform of
the new party, thorough Republic

full farmer, and is very popular with
the labor organizations through the
state. Seould the Democrats indorse
the nomination, he will receive a

The Kansas City Sunday Sun, a
sensational sheet whose chief feature
is its nastiness, triedin its last issue
to palm off the old "Vidette" che stnut
as news. 1t won't work, though, for
Henry Booth, Ed p. Greer and a lot
more of the Republican state central
committee, worked that racket for all
it was worth in the campaign of 'SS.
They succeeded in Gripping a couple
Of women, and crippled the Union
Labor vote as well but since that the
whole plot has been uncovered and
exposed to view. In other words, the
dirty dog has had his teeth and claws
pulled, and can't bite amy more. The
"Vidette" scheme is too old.

JUDGE COOLEY, the chairman of the
Interstate railroad commission. said
the law was made for the railroad
guidance and they must obey it..
There is a whole volume of truth in
those few lines. The railroad monOp-
oily is great corporate unconverted
criminal. 1t lives in almost constant
defiance of law and violates law as
deliberately as thirsty man takes a
drink of water. The study of rail-
road management is how to get round
the law and rob the people. The gen.
tlemen who are paid ten thousand,
fifteen thousand and twenty i've
thousand dollars year to be presi-
dents, are paid to do this kind of
work. Recently all these gentlemen
met in Chicago, and for what? To
adopt some plan by which the law
could be violated with impunity
That is the explanation in nutshell
About the first thing these corporate
anarchists say about law is that it
is utterly impractical to obey it. tits
very bad, unruly, headstrong and
wayward boy you have hold of, Mr.,
Cooley. Spank him again, and keep
doing il until the idea creeps through
his brain that rascal as a manager
Of railroad is just as much rascal
as the man who gets smaller salary.
The railroad must be taught that it is
just as answera BILE to law and justice
as the private individual is, and if
there is no other way to teach it,
wiring its neck until it cracks.-Ec.

The producers of the capital Of this
country are now organizing as never be-
fore. They see the necessity of stand
ing together, shoulder to shoulder, in
self-defense, simply because they have
petitioned and demanded relief through
both the old parties, and both have fail
ed to give relief, and now the impend-

ACCORDING TO statistical compila-
tons, the farmer gets $l93.66 as the
gross product of the labor of each

FROM all eastern exchange we learn
that the resubnission Republican state
central committee will meet at Wichita
on July 3, for the purpose of determin-
ing place and time for holding state
convention, and that Wichita, and Sep
TENDER the 9th, will probably be selected
so as to enable the convention to fuse
with the Democrats, who will also meet
AT the same time and place.
The above is taken from the Wichita
Journal, re-submission, anti-prohibi
ton organ, and from it's reading we are
led to the conclusion that it's the ruling
element of the Republican, party that
always fuses with the Democrat party,
or in other words, they are the annex to
the Democrat party, and that all the
believing we hear about the Peoples
party, the Prohibition party or the IN
ion Labor party being an annex to the
Democrat party, is simply kept up as
blind by the Republican ring organs,
their bosses and Office-seekers, for the
purpose of keeping the voters from see
ing that it's the managing department.
of the g. o. p. that is the annex to the
Democrat party. So, friend voters, it
never has been and never will be that a
new political party plays the part of an
mex to any old party. 1t is one or the
other of the old parties that plays annex
to the other for the purpose of defeating
a new party organization.

AS perhaps our readers are aware,
the compromise silver bill has passed
both houses of congress and has been
signed by the president, so we are to
have new silver law. 1t is a ques-
ton vet as to whether tie measure is
or is not good law. Senator Plumb
says of it, that it is "almost as good DIS
the senate bill" Senator Morgan says
that in the hands of an unfriendly adj
ADMINISTRATION the law will prove to bea
'stilettO" with which silver money
will be stabbed to death. Congress
man Bland entertains similar opin-
ion. Whatever else may be said of It,,
it is not denied that it is not free
coinage bill. neither can it claim to be
unlimited, but there is a strong sus-
picion that its trainers intend that it
shall be one of the limited sort, limit
ed enough to suit even Wall street
The bill was born in secret confer
ence. Senator Sherman was one Of
the mmittecmen-a pronounced
gold bug. The committeeman from
the house were appointed by gold
bug, and it was signed by "a gold-bug
president. So its parentage is bad
very bad. If there is anything in he
reditary, the bill is what Senator Nor
gan claims it is: "stilettO" with
which TO stab silver to death. The
whole business from first to last was
piece of political jugglery--a mas
suerade. AS was intimated in anoth-
er issue of The AGITATOR, the senate
did not intend that the bill passed by
that body should become law. The
senate had become unpopular. Some
thing had to be done. Why not pass
free and unlimited coinage bill,
Jet the house kill it, then have con-
terence committee, frame new bill
and call it a compromise. Brilliant
thought. The senate regains its pop
ularity. Compromise relieves both
houses, The people hoodwinked and
Wal street is triumphant. By and
by the iridescent senator's and Fog
horn congressman will return to the
dear people and and ask for re-elec-
ton. The blind partisans will vote
FER straight and the jugglery will 20
on.

The great argument for the tariff is
that it is for the protection of American
labor. But no man has yet been able to
explain how tariff on what the work.
ingman has to buy, and free trade i'm all
he has to sell (his labor), can protect the
workingman Would manufacturer of
wooden goods think he was protected by
a tariff on wool and free trade in WOOL

A. f. Allen at Lane.


AZ. Allen, the Peoples candidate
for congress from the Second district,
addressed good audience of farmers at
Lincoln park, Lane, last Saturday after
noon. He followed w. M. Brown, of
Greeley, who opened tn. exercises with
few remarks.
Mr.. Allen spoke mainly upon the sub
ject of Money" and he handled the
subject in such manner as to prove to
his hearers that he fully understands it.
He made good impression upon his lis
teners, who cheered him to the echo.
We shall not attempt to give report
of the speech, for the most Of our read
ers will have the pleasure Of hearing
Mr.. Allen during the campaign, possibly
upon the same subject.
Mr.. Allen is plain farmer, and is
possessed of superior amount and
quality of mother wit, mixed with good
"horse sense" He is fully abreast Of
all reform measures-is a man of the
people and with the people.
In speaking OF the federal election
bill. one-man-power Speaker Reed) re-
marked in a speech delivered by him in
Pittsburg, that 1.-THE good of the nation
demands Republican supremacy, and
Republican supremacy demands fed
eral election law of this kind" Now
let this be kept before the people, that
says the good OF the
people demands the supremacy of the
party. Let 1t also be kept
before the people, that a nation is peo-
pie living under one government and in
one country Hence the popular vote
of a people living under one govern
menu should represent the demands of
that nation Of people. Then if this be a
true theory, let us take the total popular
vote that was cast in 1883 for president
of this nation, and we will find by that
vote that the good Of this nation did not
demand the supremacy of Deacon Har-
risOn or one man-power administra-
ton. And furthermore, let it be kept
before the people that it is violation of
the true ethics of politics and the fun
damental principles upon which our
government is founded for the admins
tration of a political party to class leg
islate for its own supremacy contrary to
to the popular wishes of a free people in
a free country.

Mr.. Bailey was looking for some help in
