Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-02-25

The Topeka Capital of the Both,
in substance congratulates the Dem
ocratic party on the growing senti-
ment against fusion with the Peo-
pies party, and claims that the
leading papers Of the state are
opposed to fusion, on the ground
that it would be "cowardly sur
render of party convictions" The
Capital is careful to not say any
thing about the fusion of the two
old parties last fall. There was no
surrender of party convictions"
when the Democrats fused with the
Republicans; but the thought of the
Democrats surrendering party
principles" in fusion with the
Peoples party, fills the Capital with
dismal apprehension for the future
of Democracy; and nothing but the
broadness Of that great journal,
could inspire this sounding note of
alarm. Again, the Capital says,
"Party lines, as a rule, after all, arc
the boundaries of personal interest.
There ought to be, there is, great
deal Of truth in the above, but just
how Democrats have personal in
terest" in the success of the Repub-
lican principles, is beyond our
comprehension. Does the Capital
mean to say that the Republican
party is ready to divide Offices, or
is there a bargain already to that
effect? and again, if personal inter-
/ est" is the guide, in maintaining
party lines, is it not time that both
Democratic and Republican farmers,
generally, should consult personal
interest,"" and down the politicians
in both old parties, who trade in
their interests, and plumber all alike.

SEVERAL days ago we received a
letter from Capt. Geo. w. Lloyd, of
New Rochelle, N. Y, in which he
enclosed letter from friend who
lives in Georgia. We have mislaid
the letter and can not give the sx-
act language, but the southern gen.
tleman says that Georgia is wide
awake, and will roll up big vote
for the Peoples party next fall. He
says there will be but two parties
in the field-the Peoples and .
party made up from the two old
parties. 'Rah for Georgia

The Outlook.
Pillow and Hammer, THIN, O., Feb. II.
For the Peoples party in Ohio is
very Aattering. We believe that
our vote in Ohio is double what it
was last November. Much inquiry
is being made by our friends about
the future work Of the state COM
mittee. Many organizations are
springing up and much work is be-
ing done in quiet way. All are
looking anxiously to tho result Of
the St. Louis conference, promising
that if that convention decides for
independent party action that the
work in Ohio will not lack fer ener-
getic pushers. From the best In
formation we can obtain we believe
that Ohio will be represented by
fifty or more delegates. Every one
will 60 determined to lend his aid
to the work of placing good plat
form before the people and
earnestly work for the success of
the cause. Ohio has been so long
cursed with whisky besotted politi-
clans that the work Of placing the
platform before the people will be
one of immense magnitude, but
notwithstanding this difficulty we
believe that there is enough mater
ial in the ranks in Ohio to make
this campaign a remarkable one for
good. Viewing the work as we do,
we feel that it means a thorough
bracing of the backbone, tighten
ing of the belt and the grasping OF
the situation with a determined
effort to win. There is every
promise that the wise action of the
St. Louis conference will bring into
prominence the Independent move
ment and swing into line FIVE or
more states for the Peoples ticket.
Already Chairman Clarkson of the
Republican committee has given up
, the state of Nebraska to the Peo-
ple's party. Minnesota is in earn
est for reform and debatable ground.
Kansas will come into line without
question. Georgia is beginning to
show signs of throwing off the
party shackles, and Texas is well in
advance. We have nothing to fear
if we avoid all fusions and keep in
the middle of the highway. Ohio
should lend her aid to make these
states independent, both by speak
ers ane money, and at the same time
keep her own borders full and in
condition to poll large vote.

matter how just, no matter how
great the provocation, and with a
few exceptions, it is a question II
war was ever justified as means
to an end.
The presidents course with Chill
was undignified, to say the least;
and certainly he displayed none OF
the spirit of a christian, the presi-
dent of a christian nation. Mr..
Harrison was laughed at in Eng
land, for his buster, and no wonder,
for it was like the emanations OF a
bully, rather than the utterance OF
the president Of great nation.
But we give the president credit.
He has no depth nor breadth OF
wisdom or character If he knew,
that as q deacon in branch of the
christian church, his ADMINISTRATION
should partake of christian charac-
ter, he was too weak in dealing
with Chill to make it manifest, Ii
he knew that the great mass OF
working people in the United States
would be injured by war, he is too
much the tool of Wall street to say
so. Mr.. Harrison has no PERSONAL
ty. He is simply tool, without
knowing he is tool. He was nom
mated because plutocracy had
weighed him. and found his weight
naught when it come to any contest
between money and the masses.
For the same reason he was elected.
Let the masses declare once for all
that if such a weakling as Mr.. Har.
rison is to be president, and knows
no more than to precipitate a con-
fict with foreign nation, that the
first draft for an army will begin
with the millionaires, and the nee.
essary revenue will be laid on the
incomes Of the same gentlemen.
There will be, in that case, less
haste, and far less buster.
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1892-02-25

because ne was Opphscu W wal
with Chill. Mr.. PETER was elected
by the people, and not only gives
expression to his own sentiments,
but those of his constituents. He
speaks for their rights, interests and
happiness; for the women and
children; for the needy workers all
over our land. War is contrary to
the spirit and genius Of the Ameri-
can institutions. Contrary to ad-
vanced civilization; contrary to
common humanity; and above all
contrary to christianity. The Dec
laration of Rights, and the Constitu-
ton of the United States, contem-
plate state of society in which all
the people share, and all are blessed.
War has no blessings for the work
ing people, but is curse; so much
80 that no war has ever been con-
Quoted without terrible amount OF
savagery, lasting many years after
the actual conflict was over. Cen
eral Sherman said that war could
not be conducted on humane princi-
pies. Men killing one another on
the battlefield, in the rain of shot
and shell, or in the outset of the
terrible bayonet charge, is simply
murder by the wholesale, and pos
sibly the horrors Of the battlefield
are the least of the evils of war,
for there are the helpless, innocent
women and children, that in times
past persisted of privation brought
about by war. If war cannot be
conducted on humane principles,
how much less on christian princi-
pies. War is anti-Christ in it's
worst form. The doctrine Of Jesus
is peace on earth. good will to
men," He proclaimed that doc
trine in His first sermon, and He
lived it, and ever afterward taught
it, even while He hung on the cruel
cross. War is the opposite of
peace and good will to men; so it
may be fairly claimed, that war is
the doctrine of devils. But if we
had no light on the subject, our rea-
son, mot perverted, teaches us thatwar
is wrong. Wrong, because, as we
have seen, it involves the wholesale
slaughter of human beings; wrong
because it brings to the helpless,
untold misery in the loss of hus-
bands and fathers; wrong, because
it's effects in the form of taxation
and poverty remain for long years
of trial and hardship. War is
wrong, because it's burdens and
misery fall upon the masses. 1t is
the choice young men of cities and
country, the flower of workshop
and farm, that are taken to fill up
the ranks of an army. In the

early day when all the old party pa
pers will be compelled, for the sake
of patronage, to publish the facts in
all general news, regardless of what

would have met with the most en-

The charter OF the City Railway
Company of Wilmington requires the
company when 1t lays track to pave
between the tracks and three feet on
each side, making eleven feet alto
gether. On Delaware avenue and
other streets, where there are double
tracks, the space to be graded by the
Hallway Company would be twenty
feet. Instead, however. of the
city Railway Company paving eleven
feet where there are single tracks, it
has only been paving nine feet, in
some places not more than seven feet.
Taking, however, nine feet as the
minimum. the company saves two
feet OF paving the whole length of the
line.
Suppose a square to lie 800 feet long,
there would be $40 feet in the square
saved.
Thrown into square yards it would
be 6695 square yards. At sees per
yard the price paid for Belgian block

but law is law and it ought to he liv-

Southern States are still the strong
est supporters of frec.trade. but the
day of free trade in tho South has
passed away. 1t did well enough un-
der the old system of slave labor, but
1t will not do now that slavery has
been abolished and the slaves, now
freemen, are beginning to know what
liberty is, and to know what their Ia
Dor is worth. Old time prejudices in
the South will soon have to disappear
in tho same abyss in which slavery has
been buried.

rectors are naturally interested in the
perpetuation of these prejudices.
