English Landlorilism,

A tract of $4,000 acres of land in GEN.
trail Wyoming was purchased several
years ago by Lionel Sartoris, cousin Of
the Englishman who married and then
deserted Nellie Grant SaFtoris failed in
the range business, but has now found
profitable use for his acres. He has
bought water rights and built an irrigR-
tion plant, and will colonize his tract
with English tenant farmers. He an
nounceS that he intends to "fsrm on
large scale" Yes, he will farm the
farmers. And the small farmer, who tills
his own acres with help hired at the
market rates for American labor, must
compete in the market where produce is
sold with this English landlord, whose
laborers are ground serfs.
This is what English lsndlordlsm and
tenant farmers in the United States
means-the economic destruction Of the
loftiest type Of the republics citizen, the
American farmer.
"Alien ownership of land should be
prohibited" says the Omaha platform.
The western farmer recognizes his dan
ger. The Peoples party takes up his
cause. So does not any other political
party.-The Vanguard, March IL.
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-03-15
A Coming Issue.

There is an issue of national scope, and
which no political party Of moral ideas
can afford to ignore or evade. Il is the
liquor traffic issue. Reform forces which
have no other fundamental differences
should, before 1896, find common ground
from which TO attack that enemy Of tho
home, the saloon; that enemy Of good
government, the liquor manufacturers
trust.
The sentiment Of reform seems to be
drifting in that direction. We are glad
to note the Voice, New York prohibition
organ, speaking of the law recently en-
acted in South Carolina, which provides
that the law shall take charge Of the en-.
tire business OF selling Intoxicating
liquors, says:
"It is the best bill, short Of downright
prohibition, that has ever been passed by
any state legislature"
An Objectionable feature Of the South
Carolina law is that it contemplates a
profit to the state from the traffic. The
business will be more quickly destroyed
if all profit is eliminated from it.
The Vanguard believes in nstionsliz-
ing the liquor traffic, but not that the
government shoul iDto the business

The senate has done remarkably good
work under trying circumstances. The
personal relations Of the members have
been pleasant in spite Of the partisan
feeling in the air, anu in the closing days
the republicans in the senate almost to
man stood by their Populist associates
in the struggle against the outrageous
conduct Of the house. The state can
congratulate itself that the senate will
return in two years. It has been q re-
marksble body, not only in its political
reform tendencies, but also in its supe-
rior moral character as compared with
it's predecessors. Il has been free from
drink, free from the usual enrolling clerk
scandals, free from even the charge Of
bribery, and leaves no "Murphey house"
records. And as the Australian ballot
law is now part of the machinery Of the
state, and Bill Higgins is no longer Sec

It is "UndemOcratiC" to Increase the
Powers Of Government.


A subscriber writing US in regard to
the petition for government ownership
OF the telegraph and telephone says;
''The only objection to government con-
troll is that it tends to increase the
powers OF the government, which is un.
democratic"
Here seems to be a confusion Of terms,
growing evidently out Of confusion Of
thought
Looking up the definition of demoC-
racy as given by Webster, we find it to
be Government by the psople;-s form
of government in which the supreme
power is in the hands Of the people,
According to this definition, the correct
ness Of which will not be questioned
any policy tending to enlarge the powers
Of the people in government is demo
cratic and any policy tending to restrict
the power Of the people is undemocratic
Is then the proposition Of government
ownership Of the telegraph, measure
for restricting or enlarging the powers
Of the people in government Very OBJ
viously it is q proposition for enlarginG
the powers Of the people, by placing then
in direct control of the facilities Of com
munication. What, then, in the name O
common sense, does our correspondent
mean by calling the proposition "un
democratic?"
We might leave the matter here, bu
it may be profitable in spirit Of cando
to seek after the explanation Of the Ger
tainly very complete misunderstanding
Of terms into which our correspondent
has fallen. Obviously it arises from
loose and indefinite use Of the word gov
ernment. There are two contraSte,
kinds of government which are as oppo
site as light and darkness, and every
thing that is true Of one kind o
government is false as regards the Other
The one sort is the government of me-
by other men, and the other is self-gov
ernment. The one is royal, imperis
sristocratic; the other IS republican
democratic, popular. To increase tn
powers of monarchical government is un
democratic because it encroaches in 8
far on the power OF the people. To in
crease the power OF democratic govern
ment, on the other hand, is necesssril
and always, by the very meaning Of tn
terms, a democratic policy.
When Thomas Jefferson said "the gov
ernment which governs least is best,
he necessarily had in mind the onl,
forms Of government OF which the worl'
at that date had had any experience
namely, the royal and sristocrstic forms
and as applied to them the saying i
quite true. 1t requires no argument tt
prove that the less men are tyrsnnlzeC
over by selfish despots the better.
When, however, the people govern
themselves for their own interests, to sa,
that the less governing they do tn
better, is equivalent to declaring that tn
less attention people give TO their Owl
affairs the more prosperous they will be
