The Rights of Revolution.

The cable dispatches have reported
several outbreaks of working people in
Spain lately, the insurgents being de-
scribed as anarchists" 1t Is well to
receive all accounts of what is evidently
a widespread popular movement against
class and capitalistic rule with IL good
deal of caution. The workingmcn who
have been driven to revolt against con-
ditions which have become intolerablc
are, in all probability, deliberately mis-
rcprcsented by the cable reports when
they are called anarchists" The word
is evidently used with il purpose in or
der to alicnate sympathy and prejudice
the people of other countries against
the victims of capitalism. We in Amer
lea know SO we'll how the policy of Civ
ing dog a bad name to hang him is
carried out by the press and the paid
agents of monopoly in connection with
our own labor disputes that we ought
not to implicitly receive the reports
which come to us through the pr ss Of
popular movements abroad. There is
no reason whatever to suppose that the
Spanish revo!utionists are anarchists in
the rea! meaning % the word. They are.
in all likelihood, brave and Intelligent
workingmen, who have been driven into
revolt by oppression. and deliberately
choose death rather than submission to
system of industrial slavery.
In II country like the United States,
where all who are oppressed have the
remedy in their own hands and voice in
making the laws, there is no excuse for
rcsorting to violence. If workinSmen
will not use their political power and
the freedom of combination to redress
their own grievances, they cannot fairly
blame others than themselves if unjust
conditions continue to prevail. Hut
matters are widely different in most
European countries. in some of which at
! least combination is still treated as Il
crime, and the workers, so far as pulit
ical rights are concerned, are i'll Il state
of scr.dom. Under such circumstances
we have no right to judge them hy
American standards, or to blame them
if in their desperation they fall bacl, on
their natural right of revolution as the
only means open to them to effect Il
change in their condition.-Journal of
the knights OF Labor.

heat Of debate. Jerry Simpson and
Farmer Davis, who are the great literary
men OF the Alliance party, are very
accurate and strong writer's. Davis in
particular prides himself upon his liter
ary attainments, yet in their speeches
they both fly off the track entirely and
shatter syntaN in every sentence.

single word, and the ear was almost in
capable Of detecting any pause even
between the paragraphs. Yet the repof,

cd as TO his very language. In order to
get good language into the report the
strncgraphers often have to make Il plea
Of inaccuracy on their part and take the
blame for omissions and changes which
they are compelled to make There
have been cases where members hav,.
c.rrccted proof and restored their own
inaccurate expressions for the corrected
manuscript OF the reporters, and it has
been necessary to lose this revised
proof and receive some slight censurc
for it in order TO preserve the respect
ability of the Record.
During this Congress the reporters
have had comparatively little difficulty
upon this score The new members
who have been doing n considerable
amount of talking have proven them
selves not only speakers of considerable
capacity in force and effectiveness, but
to he finished and capable constructors
of English sentences. Bailey, the long
haired young Texan, has astonishe,l the
stenograrhers by the delivery of free,
off-hand speeches, which, while deliv-
cred with great rapidity, have been
smooth and we'll balanced and almost
entirely free from errors in construction.
The ane may be considered of Bryan
Of Nebraska, who came in with the up
heayal which threw the Farmers ALI
ance into Congress. His speeches have
been printed in the very language
of their delivery without vio.a-
ton of the canons of goo j
taste. Watson, Of Georgia, who was the
Farmers Alliance candidate for Speaker,
is not an educated man, though an ex-
ccedingly euent talker, yet his speeches
require very little editing. The young
members frcm Massachusetts write bet
ter than they speak, but the English
language does not suffer distortion upon
their tongues even while they are en-
barrassed in their speech before this
new and august assemblage. a number
Of the members have been raised in ignor-
ance up to manhood and have acquired
their information in later years, and it is
curious how their earlier training or
lack OF training exhibits itself in the

The Danger Line.

The Independent voter is to be big
factor this year. This is already evil
dent by the warnings given by the old
party press. Discomfort with party
management is making trouble in al
most every State, and the old parties
see the great danger of the people re-
voting from the worn-out issues of the
past.
The Indianapolis Sentinel, which is
one of the best papers of the Democratic
party, is very much dissatisfied with the
political outlook. 1t sees the rising
storm and feels the tlis.ontent of the
people. It's fealty toward party pre-
vents the whole truth. but what it says
below is Only part of what it may
have TO say:
with factional strife laid aside New
York is much NOR. Democratic than
Indiana. In Indiana neither of the
great parties has had majority OF all
the votes east since 1874. There is no
reason 10 believe either will have
majority in the present year. Four par
ties are entitled to place on the ballots
for convention nominations. The strug-
gle Of the great parties, therefore, is not
only against each other, but also to pre-
vent their voters from being drawn into
the ranks Of the independent organiza-
tons The amount OF dcfectiOns to
these will be more likely to settle the
outcome of the campaign than will the
changes from ore party to the otheis
In 1883 the Peoples party vote was
1854. In 1899 it rose to II, ,534, which
was the largest third party vote cast in
Indiana in the period covered above,
except in 1873, when the Greenback
party east its greatest vote of 80, 9,44S.
The Prohibition vote rose from 1881 in
1855 TO II, ,06 in 1890. 1t draws about
equally from both parties. In 1890 the
Peoples party drew chiefly from the
Republican ranks. Its effects in 1892
will depend partly on the action Of Con-
gross and partly on the candidates pre-
sented.
There has never been Presidential
election in the history OF the country
when it behooved political parties to
look more carefully to the influence of
reason than the present one. On every
hand there are evidences of discomfort
and dissatisfaction with party manage
mcnt. In some of the Southern States
th" Alliance element has taken control
of the Democratic organization. In
Kansas. Nebraska, and South Dakota ii
has ovcrthrown the Republican organiza.
ton. In Louisiana an uprising of mora
sentiment would have destroyed the
Democratic party but for the Withdrawal
OF the lottery issue. In New York thou
sands of prominent Democrats are il
Cpen rebellion against the machine
'Sie industrial third party movement has
come before the country in a more com
pact shape and on q more intelligen
lass than ever before. If these thing
mean anything they mean that the indie
pendent voter is going to have goo'
deal to say ut the election of 1892. Ant
by the Independent voters we mean no
only those who ally themselves wit
independent organizations, but ais
those on whom party bonds rest light
when party action is not satisfactory.

Seventy armed and masked men rode

his wife in Fancy County. All of the
guards ran except James Williams, a
deputy sheriff, who refused TO let them
