IHE MIGHT POLICE.

Our night police service Is not what il
should be. But who is To- blame for it?
OF course the IIossians Of the press down
street will shout Carroll" This Is all
right so far as earning their salaries and
disgusting the public go, but what arc
the facts? The cowordly, stab in-the-
back trick which the Republicans played
on our Mayor may prevent the service Of
extra policemen for some time to come,
but let the Republicans be responsible
for it. The City Council had voted that
ten more officers were needed and Mayor
Carroll had Alright to appointthem as other
Mayors had, but before ho left for Chi
cago he eagrced to let the Aldermen name
half OF them. But the Republicans want
ed TO steal all. Let's sec how soon they
will get them.

BECOMING DoUBTFuL."

1t is a singular feature Of this years
campaign, that several States which, ever
since 1860, have given the Republican
party overwhelming maioritios at every
Presidential election, are now, for the
first time in thir,y-two years, classified as
doubtful"
At the same time there is no break, nor
any apparent likelihood Of break in the
"solid Democracy" Of the Southern
States, whose l59 electoral votes are cal
culated as certain for Cleveland.
1t is for many reasons very good thing
that States which have long been steadily
and overwhelmingly on one side in poll
tics should show a disposition TO change
so that parties IN their calculations are
forced to regard their vote as uncertain.
1t compels greater care and caution IN
party nomination., and IL implies the
growth of intelligence anI independence
among the people.

TIE DIFFERENCE.

How easy il would be for Mayor Carol
to call a meeting of the Board of Alder
men in the absence OF Mr. Adams and undC
all the cowardly acts passed while hc wai
out of the city. IL may be said that
Mcssrs. Davis and Miller would refec "a
attend any meeting that might bo called
in their colleague absence, bat Il would
he a very easy matter 10 compel their at
tendance.
However, the Mayor is not made Of such
stuff. As will be seen in his interview in
another column, he refuses 10 take any
such mean advantage Of Mr. lrams's
absence. Mayor CAROLS position is in
strong contrast with that OF the under
handed work of the Republican majority.

Party Spirits.

The party spirit. which prevailed
in the South and North in antebellum
times. seems to have a strong foot
hold in American politics. General
Weaver encountered the same spirit
in Georgia that shut the door Of
Fanueil Hall in the face of Daniel
Webster. and which enabled Stephen
A. Douglas to travel in the light of
his burning effigies from Boston to
Chicago 1t is that spirit against
which Washington in his farewell ad :
dress warned the country. It is that
spirit which every where prevails and
is encouraged by the leaders of the old
parties and their tools. which teaches
the political doctrine: Stick to par
ty right or wrong; don't throw away
your vote on third party. If you
can't vote the Democratic ticket vote
the Republican ticket; if you can't
vote the Republican ticket vote the
Democratic one. Stand in. boys OF
the old parties. let US keep the spoils
OF office in the happy gold-bug fam
lilies or these crazy silver looms will
cinch us both. "-Silver State.

The Lesson of History.

It is sad thought that men have
been establishing governments and
nations and building cities ever since
the beginning of history only to have
them crumble into ruins. Egypt the
mother of nations and once brilliant
with her civilization. is gone. All
that remains of her splendid past are
a lot of tanned and shrivelled mum
mics and few piles Of stones on which
ipnumerable lives and an ocean of
magnificent human energy were
wasted. What has been the trouble?
1t is to be found in the fact that men
cared nothing for anybody or any
thing but themselves. The few were
unjust to the many. and the time at
last came when the ruling classes
were destroyed by their own search
for selfish qualification and the spirit
of the masses was so crushed that
they were incapable of saving from
the wreck'what had been created. Eek.

NOT ONE, BUT ALL.

The Protestant monk. Father
Huntington. son of Bishop H.. and
who is strong friend of the poor
quotes this:
William Morris sang Of the first victim
of Bloody Sunday in Trafalgar Square:
What cometh here from West and East "a
vending?
e And who are these, the marchers stern
and slow?
We bear the message that the rich are
sending
Aback to those who babe them wake and
know.
Not one,~ not one, nor thousands
But one and all if they would dusk
the day.
We ask them for life of toilsome earning.
They babe us bide their leisure for our
bread;
We crave to speak to tell our woful learn
ing,
We come back speeches., bearing back
our dead
Not one, not one, nor thousands
must they Stay,
But one anu all if they would dusk
the day.
They will not learn; they have no ears to
hearken;
They turn their faces from the eyes of
fate;
Their gay-lit halls shut out the skies that
darken,
But 10. this dead man knocking at the
gate.
Not one. not one, nor thousands
must they Stay,
But one and all if they would dusk
the day.
Here lies the sign that we shall break our
prison;
Amidst the storm he won prisoners
rest;
But in the cloudy dawn the sun arisen
Brings us our day of work to win the
best.
Not one. not one, nor thousands
must they Stay.
But one and all if they would dusk
the day
Who are they that facing social
obloquy and contempt will help to
win it?

Free Coinage.

The people work and pay taxes. A
part of these taxes go towards pur-
chasing silver. The government
coins the silver and the people must
perform labor again to get the coined
silver dollars Under free coinage
the mine owner would furnish his
own silver. pay the expenses of mint
ing and the people would have to
pay for the dollars but once. instead
of twice, as now. And with free silver
we would have more money in cir
culation. Mines that are not profit
able to work under the presesent low
price of silver would then be profit
able and the mines that are now pro-
| fitable would bey flushed This would
give employment to more miners.
this would lessen the competition OF
! labor in other trades and advance
wages all around. Again. an increase
in themoney volume would stimulate
| every branch Of industry, and. this,
stoo. would increase the demand for
labor increase wages. and everybody
Except Shylock) would be benefited. :

An Honest Ballot and Fair Count.

If there is one thing in which tho
Republican party manifests more un-
adulterated gall than another it is in
their denunciation of fraud in cleo
tons especially in the South. and the
plea they enter to be continued in
power in order that the people of the
country may be assured of an honest
ballot and fair count. In the name
of conscience, if the people are not
now assured of these things. whose
fault is it? If the Republican party.
after thirty years of power has failed
to do anything to secure an honest
ballot and fair count is it not about
time for it to stand aside. and let
somebody else try for a short time?
How long are the people to wait for
/ this boon, and how long are they to
be fed upon promises?-Advocate
! and Tribune.

Fall of the Republic,

The governor of one of our Western
states in a speech before farmers
sometime ago. is reported to have
predicted the downfall of the Ameri-
can Republic. He is said to have
based his prophecy upon the fact that
the producer was not getting justice
and in consequence is poor and always
will be poor. The blind eyed. stupid
patriots of the country. who never
see or pretend never to see any dan
gers ahead, have ridiculed and abused
the gentleman for uttering such a
prophecy. And yet if things are to
continue as they have been going in
this republic for the last thirty years
the gloomy views of the orator will
be realized. The American republic
has been fairly galloping down hill
for quarter of a century and
more. The very features that
destroyed the lives of ancient
prosperous nations have been
rapidly developing here. The few
have been grabbing the fruits of the
labor OF the millions. Caste has de-
veloped and pretty nearly all the ug-
ly characteristics of national being
that this republic was established to
autagonize have made their appear
ance in our system Of social and polit-
ical being. The farmers-one-half
of all our people. and class that Is
engaged in the most important indus
try in the country are poor. They
have been plundered by corporations,
by trusts by class legislation. by
money sharks and by pretty nearly
everybody with whom they come in
contract Continue this and this re-
public will go crashing into ruin.
But it will not continue. The farmer
will not permit it to continue. He
has demonstrated SO strongly that re-
form has already begun and while il
will take time he will save both himself
and the republic. Farmers Voice.

shouts the ..honest' moneyite. That's
the trouble of it. 1t buys too much
of labor and the products of labor and
yet pays but one dollar Of Indebtedness.
The currency has been so contracted
that it now takes four times the
wheat it did twenty years ago to get a
dollar and yet the dollars pay but
one dollar of debt no matter If the
debt was contracted twenty years
ago. It is these constantly appre-
ciating dollars that make it next to

wheat and Dollars.

The more wheat the cheaper; the
more dollars in circulation the
cheaper. measured in labor's products.
The country got in debt when one
bushel of wheat would exchange for
two dollars; now through contrac-
ton of the currency. it takes two
bushels of wheat to get one dollar.
The man who contracted twenty years
ago to pay ST. 900 figured on the basis
that it would take about 900 bushels
to pay the original debt. saying moth
ing about natural fluctuations in the
price of wheat. But to-day he finds
it takes 2. 900 instead Of 500 bushels
of wheat TO pay the 81. 900 of debt.
This is not only true of wheat but of
labor and all the products of labor
This is caused by contraction. by the
money mongers, and they are striving
to get full control OF the power to Is
sue the money of the country. This
will give them power to contract and
initiate the money volume as best suits
their interest. The farmer and me-
chanic is interested in honest money.
