the only safety is in the election OF Benja-

THE LATEST MOVE AT HOMESTEAD

The Indianapolis Journal, referring
10 the last move OF the plutocracy al
Homestead, in preferring charges Of
treason against the men engaged in
that trouble calls it IAN ill-advised
proceeding just Us though it was
the first move that they had made
that was q mistake. Perhaps in time
the Journal may see that their first
move in ignoring the civil authorities
and violating the laws of the land by
committing the reasonable act Of
ltnng out an armed naval force to
sail upon the navigable rivers OF the
United States was mistake. We are
happy TO inform the Journal that we
are in no wise surprised at this last
move on the part Of the plutocracY.

was to be expected,
When. we would like TO ask the
journal, did the upper dog in tho
fight ever let go his hold till he was
shaken off? Did King John grant the
Magma Charta" till he was in the
last ditch? Did not Nero fiddle while
Rome was burning? Did the slave
power of this country yield any when
it saw the tidal wave OF popular edu-
cation sweeping down upon it with
Overwhelming force? Not at all.
Neither will. the plutocracy OF this
country do anything OF that kind.
They are ,ust as blind, as were the
slave ollgarchy OF the South. They
will continue to prosecute their VIC
Tins, They will exercise arrogance
instead OF reason. They will ignore

John Sherman has just made his

that there should be enough silver in the
silver dollar to make II equal in market
value to the gold dollar. This is the re-
publican platform, and congratulate our
democratic friends for getting on the right
side for once.
We believe it to be the accepted
opinion OF all men that the demo-
cratic platform substantially" agrees
with the republican platform and that
the letter of acceptance OF Mr.. Cleve
land substantially agrees with the
letter Of acceptance OF Mr. Harrison,
on the money question. Mr.. Sher-
man here specifically states that 1t Is

ties "that there shOLld be enough
