Raising False Hopes.

The partisan, monopoly-owned or
controlled daily press is now congrat-
ulating itself and it's masters on the
promised early demise Of the farmers
independent political movement.
The source OF its congratulations is
the prospect Of good crops the CON-
ing season. 1t evidently does not
occur to the writer's for that press
that in no other way could they place
SO low IN estimate upon farmers in
telligence. Asserting that q years
good crops-or a dozen years'-will
silence the farmers who are now or
ganizing in protest against existing
abuses is to assert that they are
squealing pigs, to be silenced by a
pail Of swill. The producers OF the
country's real wealth have at last got
their eyes on some OF the institutions
and systems that have been merciless-
ly despoiling them during the past
quarter Of a century, and those in.
stitutions and systems must go. and
with them will undoubtedly 60 the
parties that are largely responsible
for them. Good crops farmers and
oil other people are praying for; but
good crops will not equalize the bur.
dens of taxation, will not lessen tax.

legislation, will not remove scale
from the monopolistic serpent, nor 9
fang from the jaws Of capitalistic con
spiracies. Good crops may increase
the farmers profits. but those PEG

allow the accustomed proportion o
them to go into Golfers other thar
their own. Good crops will reinforc,
the farmer in his fight with thos'
forces that have been mercilessl.

to win glorious victory. but will
not soothe him into his old time in

8ardsley, the embezzling treasurer
made plea Of guilty to the several
counts in the indictment against him

is not one extenuating circumstance

end Nettleton that Drew was bribed
will not avail ae a defence for them
because Lacey visited the bank last
November, and then knew OF its un-
sound condition, and Wanamaker be-
ginning in December drew out all his
individual deposits while using the
influence they had to conceal the real
condition of the banks involved to
the end that their personal friends
might get out whole to the detriment
OF the general public and the State.
The statment made by Wanamaker

On the 2sth of May there met ut
the kirkwood Hotel, Des Moines, Ia.
a number of representatives of three
German Protestant Synods-the
Evang. Luth. Synod of Missouri a. o.
st., the Evang. Luth. Synod Of Iowa
q. o st and the Evangelical Synod Of
North America-representing about
300 congregations with Is to 10000
voters in this State, in order to DELHI
crate on the school question.
They resolved to publish the fol-
lowing declaration:
We should be very glad If we in our
State should never be compelled to
enter into contest for our religious
liberty, the rights Of our conscience
and our parochial schools; we should
very much regret to have these sac.
red things treated as political ques.
tions and made political issues, There
are, however, indications that attacks
on our schools will be attempted. We
therefore feel ourselves compelled to
state our position and principles con.
corning our schools clearly and un
ambiguously:
/. 1t is with us q. matter of con
science to establish and maintain
parochial schools in which our chill
dren may above all be brought up iI
the nature and admonition of thu
Lord. At the same time it is with a.
q matter Of course to give our chill
dren the best possible chance to OBJ
tain q thorough knowledge of the
English language.
2. We do not claim any suppor
from the public school-funds: we es
ablish and maintain our schools by
our own means and we, therefore
deny the right of the State to con
troll them in any way.
3. We consider the public school,
a necessity on account Of the condit
ions created by the constitution o
the United States in it's relation tx
the church; Mt the same time W.
claim that the parents have the in
alienable right to choose the school.
for their children themselves.
/. We are resolved to oppose b,
all lawful means, especially at tn.
ballot-box, oil legislation which tendl
/ to niure our schools. and we hone
that all good and intelligent citizens
seeing the Justice Of our position and
the conformity OF our principles witt
the constitution Of our Country and
State, and with the spirit Of our fret
and liberal institutions, will be In
sympathy with US.

The Poor Mans Holiday.

President of the Worlds Columbian
exposition, in a recent interview ex-
pressed himself in the following sensi-
BILE way:
III | know the mind OF the direc-
torate It is to open the doors Of the
| great show on Sundays. The show
will all be there. and the people can
see it on that day as well as on any
day OF the week. We consider the
best interests Of Chicago in making
that decision, for otherwise the grog
shops will be crowded with the wis.,
tors
II there Is to be anything in the
surroundings OF the Columbian ex-
position OF an evil character or ten
dency, 1t should be closed entirely,
because the mere closing it one day
in the week will not undo the evil Of
the other six days, nor save those
who are lost thereby.
There must be good or evil in the
Columbian exposition, and presum-
ing it will be good, then by opening
it at a time when the poor and labor
ing classes can attend, even though
It be on Sunday will benefit that
large class to the extent that good
influences will exist.
Sunday is the only holiday in the
week for the poor man and his faIni
", and there is no reason why he
should not be given the privilege oi
healthful entertainment and instruct
ion on that day, which the rich may
enjoy on all other days. The open
