WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TilS2

The Rocky Mountain News of Den
yer, the most influential paper west of
the Mississippi river, hereto ore dem
ocratic paper, has boldly hoisted the
peoples party banner. 1t says:
THE great impetus given to the
growth of the peoples party by the
evident union of both the old parties
to murder the money of the constitu-
tion has given new interest to the
platform of the Omaha convention.
That there may be no doubt of its con-
tents the News prints below the docu-
ment entire. 1t consists of the pre-
amble, declaration of principles and a
supp ementary report of the commit
tee on resolutions-not as a part of
the platform, but as resolutions ex-
pressive of the sentiment of the con-
vention. In S ent rety it is a grand
and noble document. and every sem
tence in it should be weighed by the
reader. For lofty patriotism and sin
cere solicitude for the welfare of the
masses few if any political declara-
tions have ever surpassed it.

THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.

The fact that Kansas is under popu-
list control makes the political affairs
in the Sunfiower state matter of in
terest to the people interested in re-
form " ork all over the country.
The peoples party in Kansas was
never stronger than at this moment,
and this will 6e demonstrated at the
county elections in November. The
reform press of the state was never so
strong as it is to-day, and there never
was greater activity among the work
ers than at the present time.
The republicans are making a gr5 at
deal of noise in their newspapers, but
it is simpy a game of bluff. That
party is not only disintegrating by
numerous desertions. but it is torn by
dissensions and factional quarrels, and
hopelessly divided on the silver ques-
tion, prohibition and female suffrage.
The chickering's and strife among the
politicians and the attitude of the
party leaders throughout the country
on the silver question all combine to
disgust many of the common herd and
they are going into the peoples party.
The Kansas democrats having at
tended the alliance school and i'm
bibed the principles of reform, to a
large extent are also going into tn.
peoples party.
The friends of reform outside
Kansas may rest assured that Kansa.
will take no step backward.

FIAT MONEY.

Fiat means decree according to
Webs er. The decree of government
is tn dollar shall contain SO many
grr ms of gold or so many of silver.
And furthermore that such a quantity
of ther metal bearing a certain
stamp, shall be a legal tender for debts
20 the amount of dollar. What is
decreed? The amount and character
Of the metal and the character OF the
stamp; al o its legal ten er char cter.
In the u of the government bill of
credit what is deer, ed 1t is given to
the credit r by the G vernm ent as an
evidence of its indebtedness. Then the
gov rnment DEGREES that it shall be
legal tei der for debt. Which now, is
most properly called "fiat" money?
The only decree in regard to the
tender for all d. BITS.
Then again the government bill OF
credit is perfectly safe as a circulating
medium because, for every dollar is
sued, tie government must levy
dollar of tribute in some form, and
those very bills issued if received for
taxes Tor tribute) returns to the treas
ury again. Hence there is no need
whatever for gold basis, or any other
basis SO long as the power of the
government to levy and collect tribute
exists.
How deceiving is the cry of ''fiat
money"
Let us acquire correct views of the
nature of money. c. N. COULTER

ADMINISTERING LAW IN TEXAS

A Cow Thief Too Busy to Serve His Sem
tence.
In the county seat of a little Texas
frontier town. an illiterate old cattle
man was brought up before the grand
jury for cow-stealing. The old man
had been stealing cows all his life, and
looked upon this arrest as joke.
thinking that his money and his in
fiuence would be able to pull him
through. Consequently he sat through
the trial with look of sublime un-
concern on his face, cutting off chew
after chew OF tobacco and whiting a
bit of pine with his old Barlow knife.
The evidence, however. seems to have
been conclusive, for the jury retired
and speedily returned, bringing in a
verdict of guilty, and the judge as
sessed term of five years in the peni-
tentiary
"Whuts that?" exclaimed the old
rascal, jumping up and splitting his
quid out, ''whut's that, gentlemen?
Five years in the penitentiary? Me?

The judge was an ''old-timer," too
He had dealt in mavericks before he
took to the law.
You're mighty awkward, Boser, he
said, INTERNALLY awkward Let's see

scratched his head and thought awhile

When the house has passed the cleo
tion bill and it goes to the senate, some
free-silver democrat will move to sub
stitute it for the repeal bill, and then
the fun will begin.
1t is said that McKinley's speeches
in Obi are helping the populist cause.
Is it possible to suggest any thing more

IT it becomes Necessary, Senator
Stewart, in order to delay the vote on
the repeal bill and finally accomplish
its defeat he can speak for thirty
da S, and let the senate remain in con-
tinuous session. His method will be
to speak as long as he feels like it
and then send to the clerk desk docu-
ments sufficient to keep him
reading for four or five hours, and
pending the clerks reading Stewa
will retire to his committee room or
