EDITOR CoNnSoNERs--There is fact (he I

form papers Us its importance demands
II is this;
If the reform party should succeedto-day,
Is IL sufficiently informed TO so legislate as

foster another system Of laws equally bad

reclaiming the Law confirming power by the
people. Az IL now is, bankers and protect
od millionaires In our senate with presi-
dent owned by tho money interest can fast
on upon tho people any law they want with
out as much as saying 10 the people, "by
your leave" Partisan Legislatures nomi-
mated and purchased by capital, with a gov
ernOr selected In the same way can be the
means Of de-homeing fifty thousand fami-
lies In Kansas every year and the people
have no relief or resource.
Now TO correct these evils and prevent
their recurrence and insure such laws as
will bo good for the people they themselves
must soc, read or hear discussed all ennct-
ments. And before these enactments be-
come laws the people affected by them
should have opportunity by their own voice
Of saying whether or not they were what
they wanted. II seems TO me that TO re-
form our politics and get the country on a
permanent good footing, our Senate, and
President, should be elected by direct vote,
and that the power TO confirm all enact
ments should bo reclaimed and forever re-
main in the peoples own hands.
In order that these reforms and changes
in our system Of government may receive
the attention their importance demands, l
suggest that all reform papers make ID a
point TO educate the people concerning
them.
II this Is not done IL matters but little
what changes are maqe, the betterment will
be ephemeral, The system unreformed will
shortly bring similar results for the cause
and the country loo.

Our correspondent touches vital point,
one which should receive attention from all
reformers, .. .,..r..
II ~ matter OF record that our United
States Senate was Arst formed, not TO rep
resent the people, but the wealth and social
power of those who, like Hamilton, did not
believe in the principles Of true democracy.
Like the English House Of Lords ii is an ex-
upon q republican form of gov
ernment and should be abolished. The
state Senates should likewise be reformed
Laws passed by the national or state leg
islatures should be few, short and simple
and should be referred TO the people for ap
proYNl, as is the case at present with Consti-
tutionql amendments, We should then
have, what we do not at present possess, a
true democratic or republican form of gov
ernment Oommoner.

minimum. But how would AL gnlB help
the farmerY Nations do not buy food 10
speculate upon, but TO cat. They buy just
as little as they can get along with and
buy that little where they can buy II the
cheapest. Liverpool prices do not pay
the American farmer actual first cost Of
production Of his grain. However this
article was not intended TO be discussion
upon the tariff question.
We come now 10 the vital question.
Would tariff reform, or free
trade even, be allowed TO
benefit the people2 think not. Between
the American farmer with his food pro
ducts and foreign nations with their goods,
there stands solid phalanx Of Importers
and Importing Merchants. The same
may bo said Of the whole Of our vast army
OF consumers These Importers are OF
the same human nature and POSSESS the
same spirit Of greed and avariciousness as
do the members Of our American Trusts.
They are susceptible TO the same BOrdld
influences and subject to the same In
satltate greed for wealth, as are the asso-
clates in these Capltalistic Combinations.
And yet the Tariff Reformers, while ad-
mitting that the Trusts are more power
full than the people, propose TO interpose
between the people and spoliation, the
unswervlng and integrity OF an
other set Of capitalists, engaged In the
business Of importing and selling foreign
merchandise. Will these men justify the
confidence thus placed in themG VIII this
proposed remedy afford us the needed
reliefY We already have the premonItiOns
Of an answer in the negative. Many Of
the leading lines Of importatiOns are OIL
ready represented by Importers Trusts
Only the other day the Glass Importers
Trust, held a meeting and agreed to raise
the price Of window glass ton per cent
Sugar is already In the hands OF trust
that controls lmportations and regulates
prices to suit itself. No-Capital, having
tasted the sweets Of Combination and
Cooperation will never allow the cup to
be dashed from lbs lips. We shall simply
have a huge Importers Trust added TO
our list OF Combinations. II II be answer
ed that this can be prevented-that the
Trusts can be destroyed-The reply Is
this--Destroy the Trusts n0w, and Tariff
Reform will be Of comparative unim-
portance.
What then is our condition and whittier
are we drlftlngP We have arrived at the
half way point between full, fair and free
competition and a National Trust or
"Nationalism." The only Competition
we now have is that Of Labor Capital
has combined and is cooperating In It's
own interests and against those OF Labor.
Can we retrace our steps and return to
the full and free competitive systemf
Organized Capital, with It's vast re-
sources, It's terrific power and influence,
will never allow any steps In backward
direction. Moreover the people them
selves, now that they have seen the efficacy
Of combined cooperation ON the part Of
Capital are disposed to introduce the
element Of labor into the combination and
inaugurate NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL CO.OP-
HRATION. Edward Bellamy's question

Floods in Iowa and
Nebraska.

LINCOLN, NEB., June 4.-Meager re
ports received from Bradshaw, village
of some four or five thousand inhabit
ants, about fifty miles west Of this city,
state that the city was swept away by 4
cyclone. Six persons are reported kill
ed and twenty-five or more injured. The
telegraph wires are down, and no fur
ther particulars can be learned.
A Chicago dispatch says: Up to this
hour no confirmation of the reported
destruction of Bradshaw, Neb., by q
cyclone last night can be obtained, and
it is thought that the rumors current
last night were exaggerated. Nebraska
was visited by a terrific wind and rain
storm, but as far as heard from there
was no loss Of life or serious destruction
of property. The village of Bradshaw
is situated in Hamilton county, about
30 miles northeast of Hastings. The
telegraph wires throughout the West
are crippled by the storm.
THE DEATH LIST GROWS.
A special train left Lincoln with
physicians and other relief. Ii was
found that Russian settlement near
the town was struck, and the report is
that nine persons were killed there out
right. The physicians say that in all
II are dead, mortally wounded and
perhaps 81 hurt, more or less seriously.

rousing majority.
"As the matter stands now do not
think Mr.. Stone can be elected. ! have
not met Republican in that district

Bayne or Col. Stone. The people are
loud in their condemnation OF such tac-

avow that they will vote fora Democrat

"If Col. Stone goes in and wins the

AKRON, O., June 4.-Wheeling lost to-
DAYS game by Sawyer's wildness in the
box In the first inning he gave five men
first on balls, forcing in one run without a
hit. He was hit in this inning for two sin
giles and a two-bagger, netting six runs.
Notwithstanding this beginning, the
Wheeling team supported Sawyer magnii-
Gently and finished the game with
but one error. In the fifth
inning. Sawyer was forced to
relax his speed ON account of wildness
and the home team lined out the ball al
most at will The next four innings
brought four home runs, three singles, and
u two-bagger. The home team played
rather loosely and would have been easy
prey for the visitors had Wheeling's
pitcher fielded his position. Green's UNI
bring on strikes and balls brought several
protests from Captain Glenalvin, but al
though the decisions were occasionally
against Wheeling, the defeat was not due
TO Green.

PrrTsBURG, June 4.-To-day's session
of the convention of the Amalgama:ed
Association of Iron and Steel Workers
was taken up at most entirely with the
reading of reports. President Weir's
report showed an increase OF nearly
5000 members during the past year.
The increase is principally in the East
and South, where the Association has
heretofore been weak. The report also
showed a large financial increase and a
more prosperous condition of affairs
generally than ever before. A commu-
nication was read from local manu-
facturer, asking for hearing before
the adoption of the wage scale. The re-
quest was refused, but resolution was
adopted that committee Of manufact-
urers would be granted hearing if it
was desired.
