'Chicago Sentinel: If the supreme
tudiciary-where the poor and the
itch alike have always looked for JUS
lice, regardless of party-become
tainted with partisan feelings on the
bench, men of other political views
aeee not look for justice.
Chicago Sentinel: We are pros
porous, says Harrison, because our
farmers are better off than the En-
klish farmers, and our workmen bet
Yer off than English workingmen. He
night have said that the man with
sfty cents in his pocket is rich in
comparison with the poor devil of a
tramp who has not even a red cent.
Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Now is the time. Every school dis
trict in Kansas, where there is no
working sub-Alliance, or ;at least
every voting precinct, should have a
club for the study and discussion of
political questions. And every club
ought to have in it's llbrary,pne or
more good Populist papers.
Bishop Foss: Terrific forces of
Evil menace Christianity. even society
itself. The fostering masses of vice
Ind crime in our large cities, grow
ing in bigness and badness every dec
lde; the enormous increase of
wealth. for the most part totally in
different to the claims of Ipoverty,
and often recklessly defiant of them;
shameless political corruption in the
shadow of hundreds of church stee-
pies, etc. buying counts and debauch-
ing politics; these and other allied
forces of evil show the need of re-
forming the lines of Christianity SO
that it shall face thefoe. We can't af-
lord to be fanked @rstruck in the rear
Farmers Voice: Many "a young
man has made the mistake Of seeking
tnd procuring office. He RETAINED it
during the continuance ofthe admins
tration which appointed him, sort
pf slave all the time, uncertain from
bay to day whether or not some in
Auence or the within 'of his superior
nfficer would NOT deprive him of en-
ployment, and at hest finding himself
put of employment at the'close of the
administration under which he served.
Ninety-nine times out of "a hundred
that young man is ruined for life.
He seems to be incompetent for bust
hess. and if not incompetent he has
40 inclination to engage in business.
His thoughts are upon Office holding.
Chicago Express: The nonly way
to make the interstate commerce law
operative is for Uncle Sam to keep
the companies books, to run the
companies engines, ito employ and
superintend Itheir conductors and
brakemen-in fact run the whole
business. A better way lis ffor Uncle
Sam to make new law whereby the
roadbeds and rolling stock fof every
road shall be condemned and taken
Tor public use. Then let the railroad
companies go into the courts and get
Tor their property whatever they can
prove it to be wN1+th-ju st AS an ,ordi-
nary individual has to do when he
finds locomotive cumming across his
meadow or through his front gard.
That is the kind OF law we want.
Washington Advance: The only
reason that General James B. Weaver
was not elected president of the
United States on the 9Th of November
was because the Peoples party
Hid not know it's real strength. -
Headlight. The above is undoubtedly
true. 1t surely is of the state OF
Washington. During the past week
the people have had a eohance.to show
their strength in the various city
elections, and have carried the capitol
city of Olympia by majority over
Democrats and Repu bined.
The Peoples party has also carried
the following cities: Puyallup, Kent
Aberdeen, COlville, Summer and Gil
imam. The only place wheae we had q
decided reverse was at New What
comb, where the Democrats carried
everything.
