NOTES FROM THE FIELD.

The ''crime of poverty" is becoming
more prevalent every day. If there is
anything that will and ought to damn
a nation it is inhuman laws making it
crime for men to search for work
and beg for something to eat when
they are hungry. God will not always
be mocked!
1t is said the pet poodle of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt wears collar of
diamonds worth $3.50, 600. If fortuitous
circumstances should compel that
woman to wash for living the bal
ance of her days it would seem just
retribution for her present foolish dis.
play of wealth.
One objection raised to an income
tax law is that rich men would swear
to lies in making returns of their
wealth. The man who advances such
an idea is certainly short on confidence
in rich people, but after few of the
fellows with abnormal incomes had
served terms for perjury they might
conclude to be honest like other people.
Lack of confidence is assigned as the
cause of present financial pressure.
Every failure recorded, however, is at
tributed to a lack of money.
The bank organs say this country
needs more confidence than anything
else. We have plenty, thank you; con-
fident that no sort of temporizing,
theorizing or lying on the nose rag
sheets of banks and corporations will
change the situation one iota, and
tina: not single measure suggested
will bring relief to this country short
of an increase of the volume of money
and get it out among the people.
The paper mill hands at Ho1volze,
Mass, have notified the operators that
they will go on strike July against
Sunday work. The operators say that
unless all the mills will consent to
shut down Sunday there will be no
yielding to the demands of the strik-
ers. The Sunday closers Of the
Worlds Fair do not seem to be rend-
ing any linen about the paper mills
running on Sunday, and no doubt
some of those mill owners are right
eously indignant at the opening of the
Worlds Fair on Sunday.
The question has been asked whether
Australia had Sherman silver law as a
cause for so many failures in that
country?

If THE Democrats were right in the
last campaign the tariff question is the
paramount issue. and will be the first
to receive attention when Congress
meets If the Populists were right the
money question was the most import

OF Congress when it convencs. Now
watch the result and see who, is,right.

THE P0PUuSTS TO RALLY ON THE
FOURTH OF JULY.

There never has been more aus
pic1ous time in the history of the
Peoples party for general revival of
interest and enthusiasm. There never
has been a time when our speakers
could present our principles with
greater effect and vanquish our enc
mics with so much case. The rank
and file of the Republican party are at
sea without a rudder or compass. They
are disgusted, routed and confused,
ready to align themselves with right
and progress. A large portion of the
rank and file of the Democratic party
are disguised and Inundated at the
disgraceful scramble for spoils now go
ing on among its leaders. They were
told from every Democratic stump in the
South and West that if the Democratic
party should be placed IN control of
the government, free silver and re-
duction of taxation should be forth
coming at once. They are now con-
fronted with gold-bug administra-
ton preparing to repeal the last vest
ige of law that recognizes silver, and
doing the bidding of Wall Street at
every turn. 1t is to-day violating the
spirit and letter of the statutes of the
United States. First. BY redeeming
coin certificate In nothing but gold,
when the law plainly provides that
they shall be redeemed in silver coin
from the bullion purchased under the
Sherman law of 1890. Second. BY
failing and refusing to execute the
Geary Chinese Law, and third by TAX
ing money from the Treasury of the
Uuited States without warrant or
authority to defray the extravagantand
exorbitant expenses of royalty now
ting this country. These grim
facts cannot be defended or excused.
just think of it, taking 81, 600 of the
sweat money of the workingmen in
this country to pay the hotel and car
rage bills of the Duke of Veragua for
one week in Chicago. Our rulers seem
to be perfectly infatuated with
royalty, and to have absolutely lost
every vestige of the spirit of 1776.
That spirit dethroned roy atty in this
country, and should be kept alive
among our people; therefore we, the
National Committee of the Peoples
party, urge our people everywhere to
prepare at once for a great rally of our
forces on the 4th day of July, 1893.
Arrange for rally and picnic in every
community. Have our very best
speakers to entertain and enlighten
our people.
Invite your neighbors of every po-
litical faith and order to come out and
hear the truth. Let this Fourth Of
July be not only celebration OF
declaration of 1776, but also celebra-
ton of our second declaration of INDIE
pendence as proclaimed at Omaha on
the Fourth of July, 1892. Let the
1853, 600 men who voted our ticket in
1893 turn out and convert as many
more, and thus build up the cause Of
right and justice all over the land, and
God who holds the destiny of nations
in his hands will bless and help us.

trotting evenly to the second quarter.
There Gilt Edge began to gain but was
overtaken at the third quarter and
doubt was in every mind until the
last moment. Gilt Edge finished first
by five feet. An over jealous friend
had thrown up bucket near the out
come and scared Diverges and the ''if"
story was freely circulated. A few
Diverges men now hedged. The other
horses were all distanced. A rumor
was started that the heat was mo

the judges, Messrs. Stephens, Waite
and Clark gave prompt decision and
allowed no fouls. The time was 2:44.
The second heat was watched with in
tense interest and another "if" story
circulated because a man near the wire
threw up his hat and beloved, "Hur-
rah for Diverges." If he had dollar
on his favorite he lost it, for Gilt Edge
finished by two lengths the lead, Diver
ges soaring and losing his place on the
last fifty yards. Time 2.41k.
The sport closed with a consolation

were Patsey, Sleepy Fred, Nick and

Many had gone home, but those re

would have beaten Red Boy if he hat

The racing program was now owe

the Fergus county fair. OF course
few kickers could be found, but from
friend recently returned we learned
confidentially, that there were kicker

quite fairly expressed himself as sal
