The PlutOcratic Idea.

The publication of politics is an
iridescent dream. Government is
force. Politics is battle for supre.
macy. Parties are the armies. The
Decalogue and the golden rule have
no place in political campaign. The
object is success. To defeat the an.
tagonist and expel the party in powe,
IS the purpose. The Republicans and
Democrats are as irreconcilably on
posed to each other as were Gran,
and Lee in the Wilderness. They use
ballots instead of guns but the strup.
gle is as unrelenting and desperate and
the result sought for is the same. In
ar it is lawful to deceive the adyer.

pie OF local government and the cleo

pie to whom such officials are to be
held responsible.
=. The training of the people in
arms. so as to form a national defense
to take the place of standing army.

rest with the representatives of the
people; international disputes to be
decided by arbitration.

ing or restricting free expression of
opinion or the right of associa zion or
public meeting.
Z. Religion to be matter of pri-
vate opinion, and all payments of
money for confessional or relig.
lous objects to cease; ecclesiastical
or religious communities to be con.
sldered private associations, which
manage their own affairs.
8. The secularization of the national
schools

whore the Good comes In.

It is impossible to estimate the good
that has been done by the Peoples
party representatives in congress. or
rather, the good the people OF Kansas.
Nebraska and Georgia have done
themselves and their children by send
ing these men to congress with in.
structions as to how they should act.
Why, the United States has advanced
more in political education during
this session of congress than it had in
the previous twenty-five years, and

quarreling over the tariff and the
bloody shirt during all their voting
years have just begun to learn that

it was so ridiculous. so out of the or
binary line. The next made the hire
lings of Wall street laugh out loud,
and the next made them yell. Then
the attention Of the public began to be
attracted that way-they wanted to
know what all the fun was about.
Then the metropolitan" press began
to ridicule and abuse the men who had
the audacity to introduce such non.
sense; who had the stupenGous gall to
undertake to legislate for the common
people. OF course the bills were toe
foolish to publish but they did publish
them. and the people read them. too,
and began to see in some of them the
very essence of craftsmanship. And
while all this was going on (and it is
still going on) the old timers in con-
gress, who think the few miIlionaires
should own the country and congress
men should be their servants, took
every opportunity to villify the peo-
pies representatives and ridicule their

Journal of the Knights of Labor:
If labor man becomes capitalist or
if he gets a well-salaried Office it is
idle to call him traitor because he
leaves our ranks. Remember that
ours is the labor movement whose OBJ
ject can only be accomplished by the
laborers themselves. As soon as a
mans interests are on the side of the
capitalistic class so soon will he ad-
vance those interests. Such is the
natural course of events. We, all of
us. are creatures of circumstances
and there is no personal merit in be-
ing laborer nor is it dishonor to
be wealthy. But the number of those
leaving our ranks to become members
OF an antagonistic class is SO very in
significant that we may well disre-
gard them. The evolution toward
revolution takes it's indomitable course
and the majority will be on the right
side on the great day of emancipation.
