Referring 20 the new peoples party the
Fairhaven Herald says: "If the American people
can find any other than feeling OF contempt,
disgust nausea and loathing for such con-
giomerstion OF crankism az that, then the re-
public is really In need OF some sort OF topsy-
turvy shaking up a. that mongrea element
would give It. and from which ANYTHING that
might turn up would be better than its present
condition; but happily that Is not the situation
The so-cailed Peoples party viii be made
guy. az IL deserves, and the sensible. level
headed people of the country will look else
where for whatever In the nature OF reform IL
may need. There never has been anything in
the nature of party organized anywhere on
earth that isn't superIativeiy better than this
attempt at a party. which is nothing more nor
less than disgruntled Reorganization and pitt
full mixture Of idiocy, knavery and crankery,
that doesn't deserve the name of madness"
Rosalia Rustlsy: 1--WE do not think that man
can use his abilities more benefcially to the
masses of the section in which he lives than in
the columns of a local paper In country town.
newspaper is, at best, simply mirror, reflect
ing the sentiments OF the people OF the COM
munity In which IL is published. and by being
thrown in direct communication with them day
by day one soon learns their actual wants and
needs. Not so with the city sheet. As rule the
city paper knows but little OF the methods and
needs OF the tillers OF the soil, and often cares
lees. Its the man who is possessed of abilities,
running newspaper In country towns, who is
the actual guardian OF the peoples interests No
man In the newspaper business can be entitled
to more honor than conducting an honest coun-
try newspaper"
snohomish Sun: "wili 10 be any wonder IT,
under the circumstances, the miners break into
violence? They objected TO being treated a.
slaves, and for that reason they are now guarded
like conyicts in penitentiary. N. !. PARCELS,

had pledged TO pass, wept a. he told of the sui.
ferings OF these poor miners, whose places are
now to be taken from them at the point of the
bayonet They have been slaves to the COM
paDy store and slaves TO the company tenement
system, and because they would not give up
their last hope-organization-th are to be
driven penniless from their homes by these de-
tectives armed with rifles
Fairhayen Herald: Zone of the curses of our
country today is the credit system. and some
day, when it is too Late we viii find 1t out to our
SORROW. If there were no such thing as credit
our people would all be better OF, families
would have more and be much better contented
We should have cash basis for everything. If
this was put into effect we would have no such
thing as paupers, and there would be no strin-
gency In the money market We know of people
who live year ahead because they can buy on
credit"
Enumclaw Evergreen: "A governor or lieu
tenant governor who would veto an anti-Pink-
erton bill ought to be led by the ear into Frank
lin and forced TO observe the present situation.
Ii the law will protect a company in employing
armed men like Sullivan's guards to intimidate
labor and to try and break up what organization
there is among workihgmen, then liberty il at
q discount in glorious America"
