The Noble Birds.

The Garnett Eagle contains clip
ping from the Wichita Eagle,
charging the last Legislature with
extravaganza. We are aware that
the making of charges false, or
partly false, is a part of the work of
the opposition. 1t never occurs to
the readers Of Republican papers to
call for the items, or proofs, Of the
charges and the Eagles, relying on
the credulity of their readers, create,
purposely. false Impressions. We
quote the sentence to which we re-
fer as being misleading:
"The chief ornament of the late
legislature was it's expensiveness."
Most readers would reach the
conclusion that the late Legislature
was unusually extravagant, and
that it accomplished no good what
ever; and reading the above in Re-
publican papers, would infer that
the blame rested upon that branch
of the Legislature controlled by the
Peoples party members.
Let the people have the facts. If
the legislature was expensive, and
did no good, there is blame some
where, and the people have a right
to know upon whom the blame rests:
Now, since ths Eagles have gone
into the business of making charges,
let them produce the proofs; and,
falling to do so, let them plead guilty
to the charge of trying to mislead
their readers. "The truth will hurt
no one, and lie ought to be eI-

The Ohio Legislature overwhelm'
ingly Republican. has appropriated
less than $4,000 for agriculture,
and close to 100000 for the Ohio
National Guard, a military organic
alton. Agriculture feeds the pee
pie, and military organizations eat
up the substances Of the people.
The rich demand such an organiza-

bills. Wherein, in this, is the

The managers of the plutocratlc
press can see nothing good in any
of the labor OF. the Peoples party.
No matter how worthy the act, or
how important the measure brought
f rth, the motive is impugned.
Everything sought or accomplished
10 attributed to selfishness. Having
either led or followed in their own
party corruption, and apoligizing
for it when accomplished, they
measure other men by their own
standard: They have reveled In
the slums and dives with political
harlots of the John J. Ingalls type
so long that they can see nothing
good in men who have come forth
to stop them in their nefarious job

Ir is beyond our comprehension
to see how an old soldier can affili-
ate with the calamity party. A
man who has probably gone through
thick and thin to help save his
country from tyranny and downfall,
now votes to undo what he spent
several years Of hard fighting to ac-
complish. Consistency sdrely does
not belong to that man.-Osawato-
mie Graphic. r
It is not strange that 6. o. p.
philosophers cannot comprehend
why "old soldiers affiliate with the
calamity party" Blinded by
partisanism, they can see nothing
good in any other party. Bad men
affiliate with all parties, but the
party that he's controlled the desti-
nies of this nation for the last thir-
ty years has gathered into its fold
a large part OF the Doodle gang.
Many of the gang have grown cor
rupt in the party, and others have
gone there for Doodle. They are of
the same character as the men who
in years gene by attempted to des-
troy the nation. The money power
attempted to do that. The slave OIL
igarchy was just as insolent and
domineering. and had just as little
respect for the rights Of man then,
as the money oligarchy has now,
and it is on account Of the strength
and encouragement given to the
money oligarchy by the passage and
enforcement of so many devil
laws" that 80 many old soldidrs re-
fuse to any longer affiliate with it.
The old soldiers did not enlist to
fight for the success of the Repub-
lican party, but to bring into sub
lection to the laws governing the
nation those in rebellion, and had
not that party surrendered the liber-
ties of the people to English and
native money changers, the old
soldier would, to a man, be with it
yet. They have endured, suffered
and fought through the eventful
years of the war to make all men
equally free, and to re-unite the
country, and while they were thus
engaged, villainous schemers. at
home and abroad, conceived and
consummated the plans by which,
after the liberation Of 1900, 900
black slaves, 65.0O0.00O white per-
sons have practically been made
vassals Of those schemers. Con-
sistency is cultivated now by the
heroes of the conflict of thirty years

posed" Tell the truth about the
late legislature. "IIew to the line,
let the chips fall where they will"
If the Peoples party members
blocked legislation, or made unnec-
essary expenses, the Eagles ought,
for the sake of their party, and the
welfare of the people, to publish the
proof.
