The Wichita daily eagle., 1891-10-03

Some little excitement was created Mt
the opera house last night during the per-
fOrmance by the Patti Rosa company by
some drapery on the mantle over fire
place catching fire. The drapery had be
came disarranged in some way aud caught
from the gas jets used TO represent the fire
in the CRATE. AS the arrangement was a
temporary affair, one of the actors caught
it up and handed it to the fireman, who is
always on the stage during a performance
and who always carries a chemical fire
extinguisher Some one in the audience
raised the cry of fire, but the excitement
hardly lasted over minute. A fireman
is always on the stage during q perform
ance, and there is really no cause for any
fear of fire gaining any headway, as
there are quite number Of hand greDades
hanging around the scenery, also several
of the chemical extinguishers.

Some of the G. o. plute organs are
urging the nomination of Knute Mel
son for Governor, upon the plea that
he will be able to recall the Scandina-
Wan vote from the Peoples party.
1T is useless for the plutes to fish for
the Scandinavian vote with that kind
of bait. Scandinavian farmers have
thought their way out of the republi-
can party and have identified them
selves with the People party to secure
justice 50 long denied them by the G..
o. P. FLUTES. They know why they
are with US. They are doing their
own thinking and they may safely be
counted upon to oppose any man,
whatever his nationality or previous
condition, who has distinctly allied
himself with plutocracy as Knute Mel
son has done, and deserted the in
'terests of his people by supporting
the Mckinley bill.

How to Crush the Plutes.

If the laboring people wish to Or
ganize to crush the combine which
denies them money except it be in the
shape of borrowed bank notes, we
will tell them how to do it in almost a
moment of time-and in such a man
ner as to send the entire banking
fraternity headlong into ruin-a ruin
from which a new monetary system
would have to spring.
Inasmuch as the method would be
sure and the remedy overwhelming
in it's cure, we believe great Middle
Class Convention" should be held to
discuss the matter.
The method is simply this: To
have the billions of credit established
at the banks by deposits called for
during a given month, and nothing
received but illegal tender" and gold
at that if possible. OF course billions
could not be drawn, because every
one would not go into it-nor is one
fiftieth of the legal tender obtainable.
But enough could be demanded to
annihilate every bank in Christen-
dom! Our advice need not brighten
any one-it will not be done. But
the plutes may take note that the
power is within our hands!

Eorbids the Fusion.

A combination was last week made
at Lafayette Louisiana, between the
farmers Alliance and the anti-lottery
wing of the Democratic Party, by
which the Alliance was to name the
Governor, and did name it's presi-
dent, T. S. Adams, for this Office, and
was to Join in the fight against the
lottery company, dropping the Ocala
platform for the present. The other
State officers we're allotted between
the factions. The combination was
broken up by a telegram from
President Polk, head Of the Alliance
in the United States, protesting
against and prohibiting the combin-
alton between the Alliance and the
Anti-Lotter Democrats as against
the constitution of the order.
Nineteen years ago a political
meeting was held in Cincinnati and
the Liberal Republican party was
born. That party nominated for the
presidency the worlds greatest Jour-
nalist, and one of the greatest of
Americans,-Horace Greeley. The
fusion of the new party with the
democrats followed. The disastrous
campaign OF 1872 which resulted in
the defeat Of Mr.. Greeley and his sub
sequent death justify the wisdom OF
the Peoples Party in stunning fu-
sion with any party.

Declared for the Third Party.

The democratic party out in Kan
sas is about submerged. 1t has al
most disappeared in the Alliance up
rising last fall, the leaders jumping
into that movement in order to dam
age the republican party. Now the
democratic masses are being eaten
up by the so-called peoples" party,
which is having quite a boom in Kan
sas. Within two weeks twenty-five
or thirty democrat organs in the AL
lance localities have renowned the
democratic party and declared for
the new third party and Cincinnati
platform.-Sioux City Journal.
The editor OF the Journal has a le-
gal right to impugn, if he chooses, the
motives OF the people in getting into
the Peoples Party band wagon, and
his readers will reserve the right to
place their own value upon his asser-
tions, and possibly to even suspect
that great republican Journalist Of
being iaundiced by contemplation of
the growing strength OF the Peoples
Party in his own state. The Journal
doesn't mention the republican mas.
ses and the republican organs that
are renouncing their allegiance to
plutocracy and declaring for the Peo-
pies Party. The Journal recognizes
with manifest alarm the conditions
that have grown out OF vicious re-
publican legislation and which threat
en- the welfare of the nation, as the
editorial excerpts from that paper,
quoted elsewhere in the GREAT WEST,
prove conclusively. The Journ-
al should now have the courage of
it's convictions, put it's shoulder to
the wheel and help the people avert
impending disaster and secure the
blessings which have been wrested
from them through thirty years of
maladministration of the govern
ment.

The local papers often publish
.clear-sighted reviews of the situation
of affairs in this country which are
worthy of more than a few local
readers-and which furnish food for
thought. We clip the following from
the Echo, a paper published at Bran

eff bank directors are not, under
the law, responsible to stock
holders and depositors for improper
management of the banks funds, and
the United States Supreme Court has

The following is from Bro. Cum
ming's paper, the Indiana Alliance
Advocate, and it strikes good stall
wart blow with a truth-loaded fist:
''The people are beginning to think
that the government inspection OF
national banks is not much of a safe
guard after all. Ii the inspector can
be hoodwinked by false entries, and
other tricks, how much good does it
do the people who trust their money
in the banks on the assurance that
the government will look after their
interests?"
The entire scheme of a national
bank is to get money under the con-
troll of the bankers so that no money
can exist except it be borrowed oyer
a bank counter.
