The novelty about this matter is that
Mr.. Cunningham seems to think he is
not Populiet. If he Is one, he doesn't
know it. He is a phllanthropist and a
scholar, and while he has taken no
active part in politics, he has been a dill
gent student in political economy, and
this is the result Of his study. He is
demonstrating his esrnestness by circu-
lating the circular and petition at his own
expense.
1t matters not that all the demands set
forth in his petition are Populists de-
msnds. Populists are always liberal and
progressive, and they never object to
their doctrines being promulgated by re-
publicans or democrats. We can safely
guarantee that nine-tenths of the 10000
readers Of the ADVOCATE will sign Mr..
Cunningham's petition as soon as they

hands of the most narroW-minded
bigots, and in that way the intention
of the founders and promoters is
counteracted, and the usefulness OF
the institution destroyed. In the case
of Baker university, at Baldwin, Kas.,
the president is q genial, good-na-
tured sort of a gentleman, yet his
partisan blindness totally units him
for the position he occupies. He is
opposed to progression in politics, as
well as in other things, and he would
rather his university would remain
without students than to appeal to
the public for patronage through any
paper except one of his own party.
He says he don't like to encourage
these new varieties of politics, to
which the public will naturally reply:
Let Baker university look to the
old KIND Of politics for It's patronage"

The opinions which the gold-bugs
of Wall street sometimes express of
each other often contain more truth
than poetry. In a recent circular to
his customers, Banker Clews re-
marked:
We have to record another week of "bear"
ascendency and weakness on the stock ex-
change. Under the existing timidity there
has naturally been a restriction to both in
vestment and speculative buying, and the
"bears" have consequently had clear field
for the employment Of whatever tactics
seemed best adapted to serve their ends.
Fairness or consideration for public inter
ests was not to be expected from puoh
source. A full bred "bear" is an ingrsined
and meroiless destruotionist; his natural
element is slaughter and ruin, and he never
desists from the indulgence Of his mRlevo-
lent instincts until he scents the approach of
the avenger, when he is inoontinently swift
and ooWardly in his retreat.

less than three years after the date
of our first signal victory at the polls,
now when the rest of the country is
writhing in the tolls of the money
power, literally fulfilling the pre-
dictions of the Alliance speakers of
three years ago, and verifying those
of the Peoples party csmpsigners OF
last year. Speechless are the polit-
cal demsgogues at the contrast
which this state presents under 'the
first Peoples party government on
esrth," to the financial distress now
endured in states where it has been
thought better to meekly endure the
burden of the money tyrant's yoke
than to brook his displeasure by dsr-
ing to vote for the interests Of home
and familk rather than the demands
of Shylock.
Just how our declaration CT inde-
pendence has relieved us from the
oppression which others suffer would
be tedious to trace. But our twice
recorded declaration of our deter
mination to fight the encroschments
of the money power, while bringing
upon us the msledictions of that
power and the snarls and growls of
all of it's dogs, both within and with
out the state, has had a salutsry ef-
feet and inclined Shylock to turn his
attention from us to other victims.
There is nothing so satisfactory
sometimes as a good fight. The best
of all fights is that with ballots, and
il made in time, it obviates the neces-
slty for fighting with bullets at a
later date.
Three years ago by their votes the
people of Kansas entered their en-
phstic protest against capitslistic
spoilation of their substance. When
they entered this protest they were
told by the capltsltstic press and by
every loan agent in the state that
they were running Kansas and that
loaners would swoop down
upon and take their property. To
this threat they last year replied by
slecting their entire state ticket and
both branches of the Legislature. By
q reasonable conspiracy they were
tricked out of their majority in the
lower house aud thereby disabled
from passing needed Legislation, but
the moral effect is seen in bringing
the bloodhounds of plutocracy to
bay The fact that this is a free peo-
pie aud that we do not propose to be
enslaved by the money power has so
itself that while there are
not many cases of hardship here, and
our people are enjoying less than
they earn, yet there is no such wide
spread disaster here as in states
which have supinely submitted and
in which have been realized the
predictions for which wewere de-
nounced as calamity howlers.

What Va Need.

Geo. W. Cunningham, of Arkansas
City, Kas., has made a liberal distribu-
tion OF the following circular, accompan-
led by a blank form of petition Ito be
signed(, asking congress to enact these
demands into law. The circular is as
follows:
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1893-05-25

There ought to be no need of the ap-
pointment from time to time by
the city government of special COM
mittee to examine the condition OF
the Gas Company. The annual reports
of the directors or the treasurer of that
company ought to set forth it's exact con-
dition, SO that nothing more than few
minutes examination of them would be
needed to show in just what condition
the company is. When company is a
competitor with other companies there
is some reason for not setting forth the
facts in regard to it in detail, for tina.
might give its rivals an unfair advant-
age, But the gas company is monopoly
with exclusive rights, and it can tell
everything without danger of injury. The
city is large stakeholder in the com
pany and entitled to a potent voice in its
management. We hope it will use it to
compel the issue ofreports that will show
the exact condition of the companv's
finances from year to year.

open beer shops innumerable. In short
Sunday in Chicago is great public holt
day, on which some people go to church
but great many more go somewhere
else. The average idea in Chicago in re-
gard to Sunday observance is vastly
different from that which prevails in our
eastern cities, especially the smaller
ones. To open the fair in an eastern
city might very properly be looked upon
as an affront to the ideas and customs
OF the people, and so calculated to break
down the observance of Sunday. No
such construction can be put upon the
opening of the fair in Chicago. 1t is not
calculated to break down any Sunday
observance that prevails in that city, and
can bring no shock to the religious senti-
ment of that place, accustomed as the
people are to see all sorts of places of
amusement, even those of very shady
kind, open on that day.
The corrupting influence of an open
fair on the residents of Chicago may be
placed at zero. On the other hand it can
be argued with great force that the OPEN
ing of the fair will have an elevating ten
dency, inasmuch as it will substitute
an instructive and moral attraction to
the hundreds of thousands who are
seeking diversion on Sunday and
who are bound to have it, for the
ordinary Sunday attractions, few of
them elevating and many of them
positively demoralizing. AS it is now
every cheap and every indecent attrac-
ton that Chicago affords is open on Sum
day. The only show that is closed is the
one whose character is elevating and en-
nobling. Whether it is more in the in
terest of morality to have this condition
continue than it would to be open the
elevating show, inasmuch as those of the
other kind cannot be closed, is one of
the questions presented by this Sunday
opening agitation.

The Christian Endeavor Society and the
Fair

The Christian Endeavor Society and the
Fair.
PORTLAND, May "a, 1898.
TO the Editor of the Press:
The report is current in some OF the
daily papers that the Society of Christian
Endeavor is boycotting the Columbian
Exposition. Such a report could only be
promulgated by those who are. Ignorant
OF the institution. Mr.. J. r. Blair, the
general secretary of the United Society OF
Christian Endeavor affirms that the So
cIety has neither authorized nor suggest
with the organization know that neither
the United Society, the state nor the local
unions have any control or authority
whatever over the individual societies,
which are subject only to the church
with which they are connected. There
tore, boycott by the Society Of Chris
tan Endeavor is impossible. The con-
science of every individual member of
the society is free SO far as any official
authority is concerned.
1t is nevertheless true that every true
hearted member of the Society of Chris
tian Endeavor is opposed to the opening
of the Worlds Fair on Sundays. And so
believe are members of kindred or
CARNATIONS. There is not the slightest
doubt that thousands of members of this
society will stay at home who would
otherwise have visited the fair if the
gates are opened on Sunday. 1t is
short-sighted policy for the managers to
set at naught the religious sentiment of
our nation. 1t will make pecuniary as
well as a moral loss.
Truly Yours,
JAMES w. STEVENSON.

SUNDAY OPENING AT THE FAIR.

The question of opening the World S
Fair on Sunday, as far as it's moral as
pect is concerned, should be considered
with some reference to the conditions
that exist in the city where the Worlds
Fair is held. Opening the fair under the
conditions that exist in Chicago is quite
different thing from opening fair on
Sunday in some eastern city for instance,
where the observance of Sunday is COM
paratively strict. In Chicago, as is per-
haps well known, there is very little dis
tinction between Sunday and any other
day in the week. except that on the for
mer day there is less. work done by the
masses. and more time spent in recrea-
ton. Of course there are services at the
churches, but there are also plays at the
theatres, base ball matches, wild west
shows, concert saloon diversions. and
