and has lost near all his money BY |
gambling in the whiskey trust stocks.
It is about time that all honest men |
should look over the nations pros
poets with a view of inquiring where
are we at?''
The New Nation: With Boston,
Detroit, Chicago and some
hundred and fifty other American
towns and cities possessing or seek
ing to establish public lighting, it
looks as if the nefarious career Of
the corporation gas meter were
nearly at an end. !
Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Hanging ON like grim death to a
hungry Chinamann is an inelegaait
saying very appropriate to the Re-
publican party in Kansas just now.
But whether the said party represents
grim death or the hungry Chinsman
remains to be seen.
Journal OF the knights of Tabor:
The reports OF discomfort do tho
ranks Of several British regiments
and the evidences ola growing sym
pathy among the soldiery flor the
struggles of the working classes
almost suggest the hope thzt in time
even state nStional guardsmen in
America may become unreliable in
strumen4s of x,apitalistic oppression.
The Nanguard: Reliable statisti-
clans place the wealth of. the United
Statesat $66, 600, 900, 900 We all quote
the figures when we prats of the adj
vance our republic has smade in ma
terial wealth. during the. decades
since the war. No one disputes them.
Why then, do other'equally reliable
statistics show that; taxes are paid on
only $4,000, 900? And why is
$14, 900, 600, 600 Of these taxes levied
On the farmerssof the country?
Farmers Voice: People sometimes
suffer great. agonysbecause they. fear
little pain. We have known per-
sons who could hardly walk because

chiropodist would remove them in
five minutes without inhictings any
pain whatever. Moral and political
corns remain and hurt awfully for
years for a like reason; the sensitive
arc afraid of the pain that may be
caused by an effort to- remove them.

The New Nation: The campaign
OF education :to,which we should now
devote ourselves is in our opinion of
greater moment than the political
campaign just. closed No American
party ever before had so much need
of such a campaign, for none ever
advanced principles SO new and
startling TO old prejudice, nor could
any party before find SO great promise
in such a campaign, for none ever
proposed ends which when realized
will be SO vastly beneficent and in
good sense rev dictionary.
Chicago Sentinel: Why, you
might as we'll stalksabout white frost
killing q full grown pine tree as to
talk about the election OF any one
mans killing the Peoples
party. It can't be killed. There is
no sach thing on the books. The
whole legislature of Kansas can't kill
even one side of it. 1t is going to
march along to victory. It is going
to plant it's banner right on the dome
of the nations capitol at Washington
in spite of any and all mistakes that
its friends or enemies may make.
Farmers Tribune: The national
Republican committee has learned
nothing by the late defeat. They
still think the tariff the great issue
and are preparing new arguments IN
fits defense Look out for these argu-
ments. they intend to flood the coun-
try with them. They will be couched
I'm language Sunday dressed. They
will be veneered with glass war
ranted not to crack ..Or scale in any
climate. They will contain hidden
spring gagged to kick in either direc-
ton. Beware.
Journal of Agriculture: What is
the duty OF a legislator who is
elected to represent the people-not
himself, he is a seryant-when he
knows their wishes concerning any
question, but when his Judgment on
that question does not coincide with
that of his constituents Shall he
conclude that his MisdOp Il is greater,
than the conbined wisdom of the
thousands whom he represents?
This would be rank presumption;
but even granting that his Judgment
were superior to q majority of his
constituents, if he were. dealt with
as private servant on small salary
would be in cases of .unfaithfulness,
he would be fired" double quick.
Progressive Farmer: The South
Carolina newspapers have been
=. wringing their hands and crying
calamity ever since Governor Till
man was first elected. They pre-
dicted all sorts of disasters. The
Atlanta Journal, with its keen per
sception, sees through the darkness
more clearly than the press in South
Carolina. 1t shows that the increase
in the number of operatives, looms
and spindles employed in cotton man
ufaeture during the past year was
greater in South Caroline than in
any other Southern state; that as
many new cotton factories were
