A New National Party.

All hail the peoples party of the

honor to the loyal citizens that have
ushered it into existence Its ad
vent marks an epoch in the nations
affairs. Ottawa Journal.
"Well yes, that party marks a
a good many epochs Greepback,
Union Labor, Peoples, Alliance,
and Peoples party of the United
States, and, well we will have to
wait until next spring for another
change of name marking another
new epoch. These epochs are an
nual or bi-annual as the case de-
mands.-Ottawa Lever"
If the change of name is what
you call an epoch, please inform
your readers when it was that the
Peoples party changed it's name to
that of Greenback, Union Labor,
etc. Don't You know that the fore
runner of our new national party or
Peoples party, was organized in
Kansas only about one year ago,
that it nominated a state and county
ticket, and stood firm by every man
on it's ticket, without changing its
name, or withdrawing any of it's can
didates in favor of Republican nom
inees, or to even advise its members
to vote for Republican nominees.

but press and leaders of the domi-
nant class are loud in defamation
and condemnation 1t is the woman
that is stoned. 1t is the starving,
struggling miner that is vicious. 1t
is the farmer that is dishonest. 1t
is the lame, the blind, the diseased,
that are stricken Of God. Insult is
added to injury; condemnation to
calamity censure to affection. To-
day, as in the days Of Jesus, money
and fine robes count for sanctity,
and scholarly essays for teaching.

HALO! you 'stalwarts who are
pointing back with PRIDE" Why
don't you keep it before the people
that the exact date of the demoneti-
cation of silver, was the same year
that one Ernest Seyd, London
bullionist, drafted the demonetiza-
tion bill for the committee on coin
age, and paid 100000 to secure it's
passage by Republican congress
in the interest of European bullion
lists. The attention of the people
should be called back TO the doings
of your party leaders, like the above,
for it would make some mighty
good reading in 1892.

How wicked the two old party
twins appear to be toward each 9th
er provided there is nothing to in
terfere with their wicked schemes.
But if something comes in the way
of their schemes, like that conven-
ton that met over at Cincinnati last
month, then, oh then, how brotherly
they get to be. They can quote rot
from each others press, with the
greatest feeling of brotherly love.
They become so attached to each
other, that they can even. associate
together as honorary brothers, if
by doing so, would defeat the OBJ
jects of that Cincinnati convention

Jesus and the Oppressed.

Jesus ana the Oppresse0'
Jesus never condemned women,
or the masses of common people
Born and reared amid scenes Of pow.
erty, Himself toiling at the carpen-
ter's bench, He knew the miseries OF
the poor. Under Judaism, woman
was an inferior and under the Ro-
man tax collector, and the rapacious
exactions of the scribes and lawyers
and priesthood of the Jewish church,
the masses were crushed to the
earth. Hunger, disease and igno-
rance prevailed, because Of the ex-
actions of the dominant class; and
between the hypocrite who profess
ed to believe, and the sceptic who
professed not to believe, there was
no difference; both were intensely
cruel. They added insult to injury,
heaped ccnsure and condemnation
upon affiliction and calamity. The
poor, were alike their sport and
their prey. Jesus knew with whom
he had to deal. He fathomed the
hypocrisy of the priests and law
yers, and upon them, His condem-
nation fell like thunderbolts. Turn
ing to the masses, He healed all
their sick, cleansed their lepers,
opened the eyes of their blind, and
taught them. The women, the
masses, needed no condemnation,
but sympathy and aid, and teaching.
The greed of their rulers had made
them what they were. To right
their wrongs, they needed first to
be fed and healed, then taught. His
mission from the first was a success,
and is to-day whenever his doctrine
is taught in it's purity. But so it is
to-day. The hypocrite and the plu-
tocrat walk together, hand in hand.
Both feed upon the masses. The
laborer becomes tramp because he
cannot find employment, and chris
tian Legislators send him to prison.
Children are forced to work for a
pittance, and starve. Hundreds of
young, beautiful and chaste women,
must choose between lives of shame
or death. Debts, public and pri-
vate, have become so large that the
earnings of the toiler will not pay
the interest, and the small property
holders are literally devouring their
substance paying interest. The
pulpit is silent as the grave. The
religious press condones or ignores;

One Hundred and One.
1t is reported that the one hun
dred and one Democrats of the Illi-
nois Legislature, that voted for John
M. Palmer, have formed a perma-
nent organization called the One
Hundred-and-One. At one of it's
meetings, proposition was made
to elect H. H. Moore and James
Cockerell, honorary members Of the
organization, in recognition of their
valuable services in electing Palmer,
but the proposition was almost
unanimously defeated. Senator
O'Connor spoke bitterly against
their being elected honorary men,
bers of the association. He said
that they had rendered the Demo-
crat party valuable service in voting
for Palmer, but when that was done
he saw no reason for recognizing
them, as their affiliation with the
Democrats had ceased with their
vote for Palmer, and for his part, he
was done with them, and wanted
nothing in common with them, but
under proper circumstances, he
would favor the election Of Repub-
licans as honorary members, but
never such fellows as those.
Now the spirit manifested in that
Democrat organization of One-hun-
dred-and-one, fully illustrates the
kind of treatment any reformer may
expect to receive, who goes into
and votes with either the Republic
an or Democratic parties, expecting
that by doing SO he will bring about
the needed reform he is seeking to
obtain. No doubt but those two
F. M. B. A. members were induced
to expect great things from the
Democrats, but instead Of receiving
any help, they have been defeated
in all their propositions, and have
accomplished little or no legislation
for the farmer. Now then let every
honest reformer take lesson from
the one that Moore and Cockerell
have received. Trim your sails for
the new party, and steer clear Of
the old ones.

THE tariff is the real issue {;
none other of comparable impor-
tance." So says Cleveland Democ-
racy. Good crops, starvation in
Europe, or good prices under the
Mckinley bill, is the issue; none
other like it," So says Harrison
Republicanism. The banker, the
bond-holder, the. railroad king, the
coal monarch and the syndicate
don't care which one of the issues
are in, as long as one of them is in,
while the other is out, for they are
equally served under either, and as
to their being divided on Harrison
Republicanism and Cleveland Dem
ocracy, that is only matter of pre-
tense. But mark it down, there is
no pretense in the whole outfit being
solid against a third party move
ment, or in other words, a move
ment by the laboring masses for
their own protection.

The festival of the dead has come
and gone. There are more graves
this year, and fewer hands. The
forms are more bowed, the wrinkles
are deeper, and the hair a shade
winter, of those that are left !;
which proclaim in language that
cannot be mistaken, that the old
soldier will soon have passed into
eternity, but he will live in the
hearts of loving sons and daughters
in the hearts of grateful people,
down to the remotest generation
not alone because he was brave, for
men were always brave, but be-
cause of his love for universal lib
erty, and because his ears heard the
cry of the slave on the southern
plantation. The late war, upon the
part of the private soldier in the
north, was born of the heart. I'm
Gle TENS Cabin made more Union
soldiers than all the fiery appeals of
the finest orators-than all the
drums that ever beat All honor to
that grand woman who taught man
if he must 60 to war, that war must
be for higher and better civil
zation. No people have ever loved
the soldier as ours loved the soldier
of the late war, and he is worthy
because Of that deep compassion
that moved the white man to die
for the black; the strong man for
the weak the free man for the
slave. The old soldier has made an
impression upon American civiliza-
ton that cannot be obliterated. The
poor, the weak, the oppressed, will
always have a place in the hearts of
the masses, and the mighty arm of
the law will, sooner or later, be
welded for their protection. The
souls of Harriet Beecher Stowe and
the old soldier are marching on.

We are inclined to think that
Providence has smiled on Kansas
this year because her people had
horse sense enough last fall to help
themselves, and bounce a crop of
political parasites that have become
so corrupt they regard lying, Wifi
cation, forgery and perjury as one
of the legitimate requirements to
hold up party supremacy. Call this
rot Well, that's all the "argu-
ment" the Republicans use as
proof that the Alliance will die
next all.-Torch of Liberty.

Owing to the threatening weather only
one of the three flags procured by the
HERALD was hoisted to the breeze at
the High School on Memorial Day, there
to float in all proper weather until worn
and faded, when it is to be hoped it will
be replaced by another bearing more stars
to indicate our country's continued
growth and unity. The HERALDs work
is accomplished, and, whether appreciated
or not, it hopes that the sight OF the old
flag constantly floating over the school
buildings in which the young ofthls com
munitv will gather will stimulate and
:mpel them to study its Ii story, to learn
how and why it came into existence, and
The tremendous effort and sacrifice it has
cost to preserve it intact and advance it
to the position it holds i'll the heart OF
every loyal American, and so inspire them
with it's history, meaning and glory that
if the occasion ever comes they will be
willing to make sacrifices for it and the
ideas and principles it symbolzes, equal
not superior to those made by the vet
Grams whose memory was honored that
day. 1t is cmnently fitting that our
country's flag should adorn our institu-
tons of lcarn;ng, and the HERALD hopes
that the time is not far distant when our
valleys and hillsdcs will be dotted with
the Stars and Stripes waving over every
school house.
