1t thus appears that the ''loung De-

be the outcome is in the womb of the

The Peoples Party and State
Institutions.

Senator Buchan and others have
tried to give the public the impress
ion that the Peoples party members
of the house of representatives
were hostile to our state charitable,
educational and penal institutions.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth and no good reason can be
given for any such statements. AS
matter Of fact, there is not lead
err, not journal belonging to the
Peoples party, that has, or has had,
aught to say against our state insti-
buttons, and it is not truthful to as
sumo, that because the house ways
and means committee made slight
reduction in the salaries of some of
the employees in some of the state
institutions that therefore the Peo-
Plies party would in the slightest
degree, cripple any Of the institu-
tions named. If there is political
party in Kansas that can claim more
than other parties, to be in sympa-
thy with any system that places the
means of a higher education within
reach of the poor, or cares for the
unfortunate deaf and dumb and
blind, or for the insane, or even the
convicted criminals, that party is
the Peoples party. The Peoples
party is the poor mans party. and
if any class needs our state educa-
tional institutions, it is the poor

IT is announced that the operators
in the Pennsylvania coke regions
will at once import 1000 workmen,
mostly negroes and Italians, to take
the places of the strikers. On this
question we are the strongest kind
of "protectionist." There ought
to be rigid means Of prohibiting
any such importations of "cheap la
Dor" to the exclusion of home labor.
Every effort would then speedily be
concentrated toward an amicable
settlement of the differences, and a
compromise would of necessity
soon be effected. The Beacon.
The Republican leaders cry, pro-
lection, protection. You see, their
party favors protecting the opera
tors in importing cheap labor, and
thereby starving American laborers,
and then shout protection for Amer
lean labor. It's the operators and
other herds of desolators of the
poor American laborers, that place
it in power, hence it panders to
their demands.

The farmers have awakened from
their political lethargy, and have
buckled on the full Alliance armor.
The leading bosses of the democrat
ic party have left the old Jefferson
ian landmark and gone off on a tan
gent upon a way unknown to the
democratic masses, and the people
are being quickened with the breath
of new life breathed into their
nostrils. The people are learning
that the sub-treasury means more
money, more liberty and final free
dom from serfdom. They believe it,
and all Hades cannot prevail
against it. Serfdom and slavery
have never met favor in the eyes of
Deity.-Record, Geneve, ALA.

THERE was strike in France,
lately, and the military fired a vol

of women and children. Plutocracy

ACCORDING to pension law reports,
there are about ,127 900 old soldiers
on the pension roll, who draw the
magnificent sum of 6 IA cents per
day. Wonder where all that $685.

Would like to know how many
dead-beats are placed on the private
pension list? Would like to know
how many $4,000 pensions are
paid 4? Would like to know how it
happens that if private needs just
as much food or clothing as an Off
Ger, why his pension should be a
mere pittance, and the officers
should be handsome competence
Would like to know why the east

against paying pensions, when the
west raises the money to pay them !?
Would like to know if the Repub-
lican party does not manipulate the
pensions to secure votes.

IT is time for the decent, respecta-
BILE, Just and honest, God-fearing
people Of our country, to quit fool
ing away precious time and good
money in getting up, and sending
petitions to an old party Legislature
or congress, asking for the enact
ment of such laws as will elevate
civilization and relieve the masses
of the people Of the burdens that
are now on their shoulders, put
there by reason of old party legis-
lation in the interest of monopoly,
party rings and gamblers. We un-
dertake to say to all good, honest,
upright people, stop this nonsense
of petitioning. Spend your money
and influence in organizing and
placing in power a political party
that is pledged to look after, and
legislate for, and in behalf Of all
the people. By doing this, your
petitions will be answered, and the
old Doodle, class, ring parties will
be written down in history, as
things of the past. Will you do
this? If so, then show your colors
by stepping to the front and keep
ing up with the band wagon of
liberty and human rights.

The Eagle of last week in regard
to the forged resolution of Fletcher
Meridth, seems to think that he is
much abused man, and again asserts
that it must be 80, because some
say they were there and heard it.
He says they are good men and tes-
tify under oath. Who are the good
men who have so testified? Will
the Eagle kindly tell us who these
good" men are? AS yet, we have
no evidence of any "good" men
making such affidavit. If Capt"
Dobbs is the "good" man referred
to, we would simply refer the Eagle
to the Westphalia escapade, as pub
lished in the Times of that place,
some two weeks ago. So that is
your idea Of good" man, is it?
Such men seem to be the delight of
the Republican party. Such men
they seem to delight to honor. A
Republican senate passed the age
ofconsent bill, last winter, lowering
the age Of protection for our fair
daughters, from Is to IA years, and
these same "much abused" Repub-
lican papers sung their praises from
one end of the state to the other.
There are good men and good men,
but if the one the Eagle points to as
giving evidence in this matter, is
good man, we fail to know it. AS
to prosecution, we will inform the
Eagle that neither Fletcher Meri-
dith, nor the young man" who he
said "took the resolution in short
hand" could be prevailed on to put
their scheme in the shape of an aft
davit, although repeatedly urged to
do SO, by DR.. McLallin, of the Ad-
vocate. No, Bro. Trigg, even these
men you speak Of as making oath,
did not put their testimony in shape
that prosecution could be institu-
ted AS to Meridith's good" we
have have to admit that we are far
from finding that good. If it is
right and proper to attempt to col
lect money fraudulently, then we
don't understand the meaning Of
good" If it is right to deny the
payment by government official,
of postal money order, when that
official holds the said order as a re-
ceipt for money paid to Meredith in
full of that order, simply for the
purpose of again collecting the
amount called for in the order, we
suppose Webster failed to under
stand the meaning of the word
good" If the Eagle had said
that the above mentioned men were
such men as the Republican party
delights in, then the people would

The Blanks Are Ready.

The Blanks Are Ready.
An Indiana editor with an eye to

connected with the war of the re-

your columns to say a few fearless
words to my neighbors.

as you were born since it's close.

who plunged this country into that
war were all That

If you are aware of these fearful
truths how can you possibly dis

The Republicans are working to
capture the Alliance men in the
North, and the Democrats to cap
ture them in the South. From
what we know of the Alliance men,
they are fighters and cannot be cap

cannot be bought, and the insinua-
tions that they can should be re-
scented at the polls.-Living Issues.

Our Christian Endeavorers who
were in Minneapolis last week at
tending their International con-
vention are among US again with
hearts and words all aglow with
interest resulting from their trip.
They were magnifcently enter
tanned by the Twin Cities and
their meeting was such as has not
often, if ever, been held in behalf
of christian fidelity, work and fell
lowship. All came together with
one mind and one spirit in Christ,
did their work with marked prac
tical judgement, and unity, and
planned for still greater things
for Christ and the church. All
bodies of Christians worked and
worshiped together rs completely
unified in manner and spirit as if
there had never been any denomi-
national distinctions. At the same
time cardinal principle Of the
organization is that each member
IS to be loyal to his own 3enomi-
nation. Being in the convention
you fully understand how this is
fact among Endeayorers. Ii.

Interested in the best interest,of
the district schools of Adair coun-
ty, to the Institute to be held IN
Kirksville beginning July 9th,
1891, at the South Ward school
building.
wish to press upon the teach
ers, the Importance OF early "get-
ting in line" with this grest ad-
yancepient Of orr great state. One
feature Of the institute work will
be plan of grsdation for coun-
try schools. This plan will be pre-
sented by Mrs. Burton OF Kansas
city. Every one who has entered
a district school the first morning
know the difficulties in the way OF
organization. This plan obviates
all difficulties and the teachers can
take up the thread where his pre-
decessor laid it down, and, go to
work at once, thus saving on an
average one weeks work to the
school, usually spent by the teach
er trying to find out what his pre-
decessors had done. l hope this
matter will interest the teachers Of
Adair as it should. | ask also that
the different school boards of the
county will urge their teachers to
take advantage of this training
school. Many school officers have
already expressed themselves as
anxious that their teachers should
do SO. A proper pressure by the
school boards, will effect a great
deal in that direction. Another
feature of the new bill; All those
who fail to take the examination at
the county institute, must pay
S.. so and then show good reason
for non attendance. | have few
courses of study remaining. Teach
ere should not fail to have one, as
it will be used in the institute.
