A Man Up a Tree.

Judging from the great pretended con-
Germ of the ring boss party state central
committee of Kansas for prohibition,
the many pretended little prohibition
speeches, and the pretended prohibition
sermons that were preached, and the
pretended prohibition prayer meetings
that were held, all of these things being
just before the late election, man up a
tree would almost have been tempted to
say that the old ring boss party of Kan
sas had gone boot and breeches into the
party of John P. st. John. But on
second thought he would have said, Oh,
what delusion all these pretensiOns
are-made to procure votes under false
pretenses; to continue in Office COVER
nor to keep the jails of Kansas rid of
whisky criminals by running his pardon
machine, and for the reelection of an
iridescent, blatent-mOuthed blasphemer.
But where are all those bowling pre-
tenders for prohibition now? We don't
hear word from them. Have they all
gone to Nebraska to investigate the
damnanable work of the Ben Harrison
pOstmasters in Nebraska who refused to
deliver prohibition literature? also the
accursed work of the old ring boss party
machinery that was used all oyer the
state of Nebraska to defeat the prohib-
itOry amendment? Possibly Trigg, of
the Eagle, can now jump up and say that
the defeat Of prohibition through the
machinery of the old ring boss party in
Nebraska is all right. This would be
in harmony with the statement he made
about year ago: that sit was all right
for the old ring boss party in Pennsyl-
vania to declare in its platform in favor
Of high license.

HURRAH for the calamity party.
Hurrah for the common people. Hur-
rah for the school houses. Hurrah for
the manhood of the farmers who voted
the Peoples ticket. Hurrah for eman-
cipatiOn from rings, Shylocks and
robbers. For the firt time in American
history the common people organized
and conducted a political campaign that,
in results, has no parallel in the worlds
history. For the first time in Ameri-
can history large number of voters
made good their claim to be called SOW
ereigns. For the first time IN American
history the ring boss had no more in
fluence over the wide awake voter than
would the babble of an idiot. Liberty
is not dead. Manhood is not dead. In
telligence is not dead. The spirit of '76,
ba' ked by noble manhood. with the
aid Of schools. books and periodicals,
met the enemy OIL the memorable 18th,
and smote. both hip and thigh, one of
the most hyDocritical, arrogant, coward
ly enemies of free government that has
ever cursed free people. Hurrah for
the independent labor press. Hurrah
for the man who owns himself. Hurrah
for the A lliance. Hnrrah for the F. M.
B. A. Hurrah for the men who worked
like Trojans from the time the Peoples
movement was inaugurated till the last
vote was in the ballot box, and last but
not least. hurrah for the mothers and
daughters who aided the movement
with their sympathy and influence.

The Devil Sometimes Quotes Scripture.

"Folly is justified by her children.
When man wishes to do wrong, he
can pervert the meaning of s"me very

When speaking of the MANY being
made poor by unjust laws, and others
made rich, without rendering any equiv

poor We have with you always"
General F. A. Walker, in the Forum,
thus teaches the law "To him that hath

money. thereby justifying the rich in
robblng the poor. How true that men
choose darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds are evil.
Now our blessed Saviour was not

A Hard Lesson.

As the fear of God is the beginningo of
wisdom to the world, so is the tear Of
strength of the people the beginning OF
wisdom to the politician. Each year
the people of Kansas have done AS the
politicians dictated; each year they have
voted for principle, to see that princi-
pie laughed to scorn after it was estab-
lished The leaders of the dominant
party haye been hypocrites, they have
undertaken to be dictatOrs. They have
preached one thing and have practiced
and encouraged another. They have
made promises to the state that were
never fulfilled, which they did not in
tend to fulfill when they were made.
They have erected machines in which
they have ground out offices for the fa-
vored ones, promises for the voters.
They have been too cOwardly to do that
which they knew to be right, fearing it
would displease their strikers.-Law-

TIE Peoples party is not only not
ashamed Of the men and women whom
it chose as candidates, and whom il
elected; neither ia it ashamed Of the
methods employed to secure victory.
Place men, measures, or methods in
contrast with that of the opposition, and
the opposition is simply contemplate.
The people had a cause, and although
the peoples leaders were unaccns omed
to public speaking, or appearing in pub
lie, yet were able to present their cause
in an Intelligent manner. Measures,
state and national, were ably advocated
and voters were appealed to on the basis
of justice and reason. The hate and
prejudice engendered by the war, long
since over, was pointed out as being
neither noble, reasonable or christian.
There was no fiinging of dirt; not a
falsehood was circulated; in brief, the
campaign was, on the peoples part, a
clean, manly contest, that needs no
apology, and has no regrets. On the
part of the opposition, it is certain that
ridicule and misrepresentation were re-
sorted TO, if nothing worse, and it is not
yet certain that the ballot was not cor
rupted, for suspicion exists at least. that
all the purchasable vote was bought up
in certain quarters, and this suspicion
becomes all the stronger when it is con-
sidered that the leader of the Republican
party in Kansas advocates bribery, if
necessary to win. If majorities have
been counted down, or candidates count
out, certain it is that the people are in
no humor to tolerate further wrong, and
retribntion will be all the more sure,

A REVIEW of the late campaign, as
conducted by the enemy, is not out of
place, even at this late day. 1t will be
recalled that g. o. p. organs and orators
declined to discuss principles with the
Peoples party, in the beginning of the
campaign, upon the ground that the
people had no principles. The &. o. p.
programme provided for downing the
peoples movement by the use of ridi-
Guile and misreprcs enIation. In carry
ing out the programme the state was
flooded with statements to the effect
that the Alliance was rebel scheme to
obtain possession of the government.
The next step in order was attacks upon
the character of candidates of the Peo-
pies party and holding up the party to
ridicule both in the press and by public
speakers. The last act was the original
package decision, and the attempt to
scare temperance farmers into believing
that prohibition was the issue. 1t is
needless to say that each and every
effort failed to rattle the people, and it
may further be claimed that the opposi-
tion considering that in the outstart it
had organization, patronage, members,
newspapers and orators, made the weak
est, the most contemplate campaign in
the history of Kansas; or for that mat
ter of any state. The grand old party
took refuge in lies and ridicule and is
gloriously beaten.

If the preachers believe in Christ,
why do they array the pulpit against
the common people? Jesus mingled
with the common people, taught the
common people, fed the common people,
healed the common people, cleansed the
common people, and was believed in by
the common people; but to-day, the
great mass of common people are drift
ing away from the church. But 1t is
certainly not the fault of the teachings
of Jesus of Nazareth.

PRESIDENT HARRISON, it is reported,
is uneasy over the result of the cleo
ton. He sees certain defeat in 1892.
The recent ''land-slide," he claims,
was caused by the too radical action
Of congress. During the late session
of congress, Harrison turned his back
on Blaine, and favored Mckinley and
Reed, and would not listen to Blaine's
reciprocity scheme. Now, however,
since trouble has come, he is sideling
up to Blaine and talking reciprocity.
He warmly endorsed the "fOrce" cleo
tons bill, but now, it is claimed, he
opposes it. But it's no use. Nothing
will save Benjamin and his friends.

The Kansas City Times is anxious
to force the Democratic party into the
good graces of the Peoples party. 1t
is wasted effort. The people don't
propose to jump out of the frying
pan into the fire. They don't have to
ask any odds of the Democratic party.
They arc done with both old parties,
and propose to 60 it alone. In short
time, all reform elements will unite
and sweep the country.
