LEFT VACANT BY MIR. CARLISLE.
How MIR. Reed Wants to Fill the Com.
mittee Places.

The transfer Of Mr.. Carlisle to the Senate
leaves two important committee vacancies in
the House, one on rules and one on ways and
means. 1t is the established custom to have
the chairman of the ways and means and the
ranking member of the minority OF that COM
mittee on the committee on rules.
In the ordinary course of events Mr.. Mills
would 90 on the rules committee to succeed
Mr.. Carlisle and a new man would be appointed
at the foot of the line on ways and means. But
Mr.. Reed is credited with being dead-set against
Mr.. Mills going on the rules committee and
it is said that he is thinking of appointing Mr.
Blount, whom he has already placed on the
rules committee to succeed Mr.. Randall, to
succeed Mr.. Carlisle on the ways and means,
and then of appointing Mr.. Wilson of West
Virginia to the vacancy on rules.
The democrats would prefer to see Mr.
Mills go on rules as the representative of the
minority of the ways and means and to have
Mr.. Wilson appointed to succeed Mr.. Carlisle
on ways and means.

him claimed that he had the authority from
Judge Miller. In the court, however. this Vas
denied: The court allowed him to 20. but
warned him that the next time he was Caught
there be would 60 to the wor khouse. The
judge took occasion to say to the officers that
the gathering Of crowds ON that square at least

The Farmers Alliance and Knights
of Labor Of south Dakota, at three
days. conference at Huron, 8. D., last
week, decided by vote of Alb TO SO 70
organize new political party. The
young hopeful was named the "Inde-
pendent Party"
A platform was adopted which in
cluded the state and national declaration
of principles of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union and Knights of
Labor, and demands:
First-Currency to be issued by the
general government to be full legal ten
der, to increase i'm volume with the in
crease OF business, and to be issued d.
rectly to productive industries, without
the Intervention of banks of issue.
Second-We demand railway trans
portatiOn, telegraph and telephone SER
vice at actual cost; and that the govern
ment shall own and operate the same.
Third-We demand the adoption of Az
absolutely secret voting system, boil
state and national.
Fourth--We demand the free an uE-
limited coinage of silver.
Fifth--Wc demand the most rigid
economy consistent with the safety OF
our state and nation in the administra-
ton of every branch of our govern
ment.
Sixth-We demand the passage OF
laws prohibiting the alien ownership OF
land, and that congress take steps to OBJ
tain lands owned by aliens and foreign
syndicates, and that the lands now held
bv corporations in excess of such as II
actually used and needed by them be re-
claimed by the government and held for
actual settlers only.
The committee on manifesto reported
an address to the people of South Dako-
ia, setting forth the grievances and de-
mands of the new party, the motto Vt
which shall be: I'm the spirit of love

WE CHANGED to meet commission
man Of Kansas City i'm the city the 9TH
er Gay, and in speaking of an extra nice
lot Of cattle owned by one of our farm
ers a. d which he had attempted to buy,
he said that he had offered the farmer
more than market price and had failed
to make a purchase. "That man will
lose money on his cattle for will see
that the market is fixed, for him when
he wants to sell" he said. And we UNI
derstand that his words have been veri-
fed. The cattle, III exceptionally fine
lot, were shipped the other day and evil
IDENTIFY the market was "fixed," as we
are informed that several hundred dol
lars were lost to the man who owned
the stock, and in all probability was the
result of a combination against him,
worked by the man who failed to buy
the stock, This is fair sample of the
work of combinations and poois with
which the country abOunds. Thus one
man can control the market and rob the
stock-raiser of hundreds of dollars. 1t
would seem that the time is ut hand
whep such work would be regulated by
law to the benefit Of those who honestly
feel the need of the protection OF our
laws. Different laws will not be enact
ed until the farmers and laborers and
all good honest citizens get together as
one man in an honest party and vote for
honest-ineh to enact laws that will pro-
tect the interests of agriculture, labor
and every home in the land.-Ex.

SENATOR JONES, in his silver. speech,
used language which rings with elo-
quence and truth. He said:
''WhO are the debtors in this country?
They are the aspiring, the hopeful, the
energetic, the auuaciOus; they are the
upbuilders, the designers, the men of
initiative, of executive power, and Of
achievement. They are the construct
i've force in every community. AS prob
ably nine.tenths of the business Of
America depends in one form or another
on credit, any system which makes the
dollars of debt more valuable at the
date of payment than at the date of bOr-
rowing is system of robbery. Mac
chiabelli, describing certain period in
the history of Italy, said of it: The
people persisted, but the brigands
tbrove.' The old brlgandage was en-
forced by guns and pistols. the modern
brigandage with bonds and mortgages"

A Great Power.

More than thirty-twO thousand public
schools of the United States have eaclr
been supplied with a copy Of Webster's
Unabridged Dictionary. Think what il
means. If there is an average Of 81
scholars to each school, it means thai
constantly million and half Of
American youth have the privilege OF
consulting and studying this great work
in the course of their education. Who
can estimate the power for iutellectua
stimulation and development which is
thus actively at work all the time? The
pre-emnence of the American people
for general accuracy and facility in the
use of the English language is not like
ly to he lost. Well and truly has NOAH
Webster been called The SchOolmaster
of the Republic.

PoLlTIcAL parties are the instruments

POLITICAL parties are the instrumen ts
and only agencies through which, IN a
popular government like ours, the peo-
pie settle political Issues. This is a fact
which no one will attempt to deny. 1t
must also he conceded that there are
now public issues that must be settled.
These Issues are now forcing the farm
ers and all honest people TO inquire
whether or not The constitution and
makeup of the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties are adapted TO the special
function of handling the living issues Of
the present time Did the Democratic
party or the Republican party come into
existence on the living issues of to-day?
History tells ns no. 60 back % or 30
years over The political history of the
affairs of this nation and you will see
that both the old parties contracted what
is now in their political constitution and
makeup, namely the interests # the
powers of Wall street, rum and the
combinations Of corruption. These are
the powers in this country that are now
choking the moral, social and financial
life out of the body polite and the peo-
pie. Hence the Democratic party can
only be the Democratic party and the
Republican party can only be the Re-
publican party. Both parties have con-
Atituiions antagonistic to the laboring
masses of American citizers, Neither
the Republican or Democratic party
can execute new function without a
change of their political natures, and a
change Of their natures would destroy
them. Thus we see the great necessity
of all friends of good government, hon
esty and justice, to come together and
unite in a national political party that
has political constitution that is autag-
onistic to all the powers that are enemies
to the interests of the labOring masses
in any shape or form.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1890-06-21

WE have heard from one of Funston
fourth-class pOstmasters who says the
AGITATOR is just started for the purpose
of hurting the Republican party, and of
course it would soon play out. Now
Mr.. postmaster, the AGITATOR has start
ed out in the interest of good govern
ment and humanity, and if the admins
tratiOn of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are not the mediums
through which the powers of Sbylock
and corruption have obtained the legis-
lation that has got the farmers and la
borers of this country in the soup, then
you needn't be so greatly alarmed about
the dear old party getting hurt. And as
for the AGTATOR, the present prospects
for its playing out soon are not good by
long shot. Are there any other re-
marks from some other fourth class
postmaster?
