THE HEART-sRoKEN BURGLAR.
The Unfortunate Experience Of .

"Ah. -" cried the sergeant, you blew
the safe, did you?"
Il did, oh miserable man that I am,

''Ahl hal And now, after the deed Is
done, repentance strikes you, does it?
You have seen how evil Is your life of
crime and seek forgiveness, do you?
you repent, hey?" cried the gleeful ser
geant.
'Repent2-nol" yelled the burglar,
wildly.
What's the matter with you, them"
ama4edly demanded the officer.

One OF Ralph BurtOn's reasons for
rejecting the princip es Of the People
party Is the fact that he fails 10 dis
cover in looking over the country.
any OF our recognized statesmen or
great fnanciers esTousing the cause
This Is one Ofthe old ~ gumeuts brought
forward by superficial minds as q
reason for rejecting the Greeuback
theories away back in the '7U's. and
At this late day a suggestion of this
character indicates clearly shallow
ness. a superficial judgment, for every
student OF political economy will ad-
NIT that every age and political reform
educates a. new life OF statesmen
brings to the front new men with new
ideas in harmony with the de-
mands of the hour. Take the
history OF this country and the
men who have become famous were
contemporary with certain principles
then before the country. and they re-
came prominent in the advocacy OF
those principles and only famous AZ
ter the attainment OF he same Think
you that Wendell Phillips was con-
sIdered a statesman when he and vii
liam Lloyd Garrison we're being hound
ed by q mob in Boston? Charles Sum
ner was considered a very ordinary
man-though a congressman. when he
vas assaulted by Bully" Brooks in
the house OF representatives Oh no;
those men became great and were
recognized as statesmen-as few men
have been recogni ed. when the princi-
pies they osttled for had attained. 1t is
so in every case in the battle for human
progress-in fact everywhere in the
buttle OF life. It is so in the field of
invention. in science and in all the
great fields OF discovery 1t is quite
natural that men of prominence. men
enjoying the confidence of their par
ties in official positions would be slow
10 want change in conditions. They
are satisfied to remain where they are.
for are they not rid ng on the stage
coach while the other fellows are pull
ing? Present conditions are good
enough for them. and will continue so
long as they can ride If men will stop
TO think they can easily realize why
the sO-calIed statesmen OF today do
not readily take NJ with this people 5

No Worthy Substitute ORe-..

There are even now a number OF
good people wasting time and vaiu-
able newspaper space in an eudeavor
to devise some financial scheme 10
suPpla-t the sub-treasury plan. While
these efforts are no doubt honest they
have so FAR been futile. The peonlo
have decided to push the sub treasury
plan 70 a final conclusion and will
admit OF no side tracks. Sixteen
state Alliances have declared for the
sub-treasury plan. and their action
will be followed by all the others
There are also fully seven hundr. d
papers advocating the plan vigorously
and intelligently that cannot be taken
from this position. In view of the
force which Undergraduate almost as
a unit presents IN favor of this plan
supplemented By the power of an ag-
gressive press it seems folly to waste
time and energy in an attempt to in
trOduce at the present tine individual
theories The difficulty which waits
upon a want OF continuity of purpose
on the part Of many earnest reform
ers leads to 3 continual desire for
something new and novel In many
cases a desire for personal notoriety
INDUCES otnerS 10 strive 10 bring out
some plan to which their names may
be attached and thereby hsraided
throughout the country. There are
others. however. who are seeking for
something better. with an honest pur-
pose OF improving the conditions
which have fallen upon the Poop g.
These different classes have had full
sway during the past year. and the re-
suit has been TO sOlIdify more securely
the Alliance upon the sub treasury
plan. and make the people more earn
est in their demand for its adoption
in every instance where a substitute
has been offered it has been rejected
aud no one has succeeded In making
the least impression on the order in
favor OF any other plan Having stood
the test so long and having a backing
which no other reform measure in tbis
country ever had. il seems unfortunate
that all reiormers cannot unite with
the Alliance and push this measure to
its final adoption Plain duty to dis
couraged people seems 20 dictate such
