WHERE FRANCE is STRONG.
The Charac terlstlcs OF tho French Peasant

Frederick Harrison in the Forum.

AnIsrrncernI Scrnmhle.

Republican papers have engaged in
much criticism OF Office seeking in the
Peoples party. Their columns have
been filled to overlooking with ac-
counts Of the great number OF men
who are anxious to sacrifice them
selves upon the altar Of their country
We would suggest that they now give
appropriate NOTICE of the senatorial
campaign a short time ago in To
pe6a The lifeless body of the late
stricken Senator was not cold until
the politicians began to assemble in
this city to manipulate the wires and
negotiate the trades by which his sue
cessor was to secure his seat A more
disgraceful scramble was never wit
messed. 1t would seem that in a case
of this kind, common decency and a
respect for the family Of the deceased
senator should have prevented the ex-
hibition that has been witnessed in
the past few days; but decency among
Republican politicians is an unknown
quantity. Talk OF running the credit
OF the state! If its credit can with
stand the reproach merited by the acts
OF the Republican politicians. 1t will
Withstand anything that is likely TO

Not Afraid Of The Constitution.


Senator Sherman has re-introduced
his Nicaragua canal bill Of last session.
1t provides that the government may
from time 10 time issue bonds to the
amount of 800, 900. 900 in aid OF the
canal company az 8 per cent, for which
it shall hold first lien upon the canal
and all the property of the company.
1t is the Union Pacific railroad steal
proposed to be repeated. Senator Sher-
man is not afraid OF comingin conflict
with the constitution in any PROPOSE
ton for government loans TO corpora

for the government to aid its needy
mortgaged and debt burdened people,
the constitution stands as an insur-
mountable barrier in the way OF it

Seattle was founded thirty-eighi
years ago by some thirty or forty men,
who went there in the schooner Exact,
which had been chartered by aparty Of
California miners to 60 TO Alaska.
These young men were landed at Alki
Ooint, and went to the site Of Seattle,
which was then an Indian settlement
and mainly dense forest.

The Laborers' Herald: The farmers
have no just cause OF complaint
against the old party organs because
OF the latter's misrepresentation of
the farmers uprising. The old par
ties and the appurtenances thereto are
Just what the farmers themselves have
made them. Our mis-government
with all its class laws is another pro-
duction of farmer and labor votes.
For 10. these many years the work
ing people OF the country. and the
farmers especially. have been lying
down at the behest OF the bosses. in
the mud of political ignorance beg
ging the plug-hatted dudes who run
the banks, the party organs the
courts and the machinery of govern
ment to use them as stepping stones.
These gentry. through long usage
have come to believe that they possess
q legal right to tramp over the willing
granger, and, if they want to- to spit
on 'em, too Still however there is
no law to prevent the fellows who
have thus been used as stepping stones
at least those who know enough. to
get up if they want to. and brushing
OF the old party dirt from their
clothes become men like they ought
TO be- The power all lies with them
selves.

The Independent: According to
the presidents message the total pro-
duction of silver in the United States
for the year 1890 was "a, 800 900
ounces. while the government is buy
ing and putting aside annually 81, O0O :
600 while in the arts and manufac-
lures we use annually 7140. 900
ounces. This shows that we are con-
Stunning 6640. 900 ounces more than
our domestic products. We would,
therefore, like to know wherein lies
the danger of free coinage.

The Alliance Herald: The old party
press still cries aloud that the Ali
ance is dead. No doubt their readers
hear them but like a frog, little at
tention is given to their cries know
ing full we'll that his air bag is large,
but is filed with disease breeding

and take him in. They can be located

The Alliance Leader: Twas the
work of the money kings of England
that silver was demonetized in order
that they might speculate upon the
commercial value OF gold and silver,
and in order that they might increase
the value of their bonds and make it
more difficult for us to pay them.
And do you notice one thing. my
friendsP 1t is only the class of men
who are living off the labor of others
that are to-day opposing the free coin
