doubtful. and ii they did recognize
them it would be still more doubtful
whether they dare to attack them.
] think that can prove satisfactorily
to any one who really wishes to learn
what the causes are which reduce thou
sands Of people to condition where
they are forced to accept aims or resort
to worse alternative. If these people
are really sincere in their desire
to benefit humanity they should not be
unwilling to investigate fully all the
causes Of the evils they make war
against, to trace them to their fountain
head and then attack them without dis
elimination.
These gospel people are apparently
sincere, but to my mind they are greatly
misguided. They make great ado
about minor individual sins, but the
great crimes that sit enthroned in high
places and cast their shadow over the
church as we'll "a the world they are dis
creetly silent about. They make mock
heroic attack on the saloon business,
but this looks much like bombast to
people who know that the saloon busi-
ness is an effect rather than cause.
This mock heroic and bombastic busi-
ness is what wish to criticise. It 10

ask why they do not attack the real
causes that produce poverty, beggary,
drunkenness, slavery and free soup. I
hope some Of the gentlemen interested
will reply, as there are many important
interests involved. And the foremost
question is to what extent certain
churches, like 9 certain class OF news
papers, are interested in suppressing the
facts which would throw light on, the
evils they profess to be sincerely trying
to remedy. J. L. JoNEs.

EDrroRs HERALD: AZ an exposition
of our Republics league il desired by
many an old veteran, and 1t cannot be
obtained through the other papers, I
want to tell why tho old veterans have
formed An alliance Of their wn-because
their claims to recognition have been
for years ignored. The mon who did
the hard work on the battlefield cannot
get q job today, even with pick and
shovel, to support themselves and tami-
lies. The officers they have voted for 90
long enjoy soft snaps and all the depu-
tyships with their pets, who were never
in the army, to the exclusion OF those
who did the fighting in the field and the
voting at home. /.
NOW the yets have become tired Of
such treatment, and like lot of pup
pies have got their eyes opened st last.
They now, in the alliances, are looking
for better way to help them
selves. Here in Los Angeles we
have an encampment under the
title Of w. T. Sherman camp No. l.,
already about 400 strong and less than 9
year old. The same movement is being
made in Stockton and San Francisco
and nearly all over the eastern states,
notably in New York state, with head
quarters in Syracuse. So you may see
that at last the old vet. is doing his
own thinking, and will be heard from
in November next in the new Peoples
party movement, and will be heard
