Court of Common Pleas.

From the Cen ralla Guard.
We understand that Audrain
county, but more especially Mex
leo, will protest vigorously against
any extension of the Sturgeon
Court of Common Pleas, but most
of the objection to the court seems
to be the cost which, taken in con-
nection with the amount of bus
mess transacted, has been too great.
The last bill allowed b. the Au-
drain County Court was for $50,
and the questions naturally arise,
what was the money expended
for: and who reaps the benefit?"
An investigation is now in progress
and we learn that there is strong
talk of having the court abolished
by act of the Legislature, and that
the Audrain members will work to
have this accomplished. The only
hope seems TO be to create a diver.
sion by making efforts to have the
court removed to Centralia, but
even this, We fear, will not prevent
the abolishment of the Common
Pleas court, which under its pres.
ente surroundings has outlived its
usefulness, and 1t will require
much work to arouse sufficient in.
terest IN the matter to get the
people to take hold with sufficient
vim to get the matter properly be-
fore the Legislature and get favor

too rough to 60 otherwise, and dur

Peffer'S Platform.

WIN. ID. Pefer, that apostle of
reform, who is to lead the benight-
ed kansan out Of Republican dark
ness, upon being chosen by the
State Legislature to succeed JohnJ.
Ingalls, to the United States Senate,
was called upon for a speech. He
said:
II am here in response to your
call, simply as one of the people,
to say that we, the people, have
commenced the building of new,
distinct and independent political
organization, based upon princi-
pies wrought as deep as humanity.
Labor is the common lot of
mortals; transportation is one of
the common necessities of the peo-
pie, while money is the oil which
lubricates the machinery of civiliza-
ftion. Upon these fundamental
ideas We propose to build the
grapdest political structure ever
, erected among men, and upon these
We have formulated a new creed.
We are opposed to national bank
ing institutions for the reason that
they aid combines against the
interests of the ma ses. We be-
. lieve in the government, which is
simply the agent of the people, is
suing their money directly to them
without going around ROBIN Hoods
barn to find it.
1--WE believe in equal and just
taxation. We are opposed to the
taxation of one industry for the
support of another. We are op-
posed to high tariff dues upon any
article of commerce, no matter
what. We believe that free trade
absolute in many articles is oftimes
the very worst form of protection.
We believe in raising revenue to
defray the expenses of the govern
ment and after that in the adjust
ment of duties
''Let us get out of the adjustment
the good we can for our own peo-
pie, remembering that we are.
Americans, not EDglishmen or
Germans, Or of any other nation.
We believe in distributing the bur-
dens of taxation or the benefits of
the government equally among the
people, so far as it Is possible TO do
SO. In other words, We believe in
the people ruling in this country.
About three years ago it was writ
ten by distinguished senator, that
before the dawn Of the twentieth
century the great middle classes of
this country would have disappear
ed; but | say no, 1t cannot be so,
and if my reason must be given, l
say that a just God IN heaven
would not permit it. The great
middle classes have not thought
of disappearing. They are now as
serting themselves; they are estab-
fishing recruiting stations in all
parts of the country. Next year,
1892, they will marshal the grand
army of the people and prepare to
take possession of the government,
and by the time that the nine
teenth century closes in upon us
these United States of America will
be governed by the people that
| live in them -
