The cruel and cowardly assassina-


The cruel and cowardly assassina-
ton of Carter H. Harrison, mayor of
the city of Chicago, last Saturday
night, appalls the nation. The death
of Mr.. Harrison at any time would
cause deep sorrow, but to be stricken
down, by half-crazed individual, in
his own home, is horrifying. 1t
causes one to pause and ask: why is
it that men of wealth, and men hold
ing high official positions are the tar
get of the cowardly cranksi 1t is be-
coming more and more apparent that
the crank has a burning desire to
kill some noted person. The wretch
who sent the bullet that caused Mr..
Harrison's death knew that he had
committed terrible deed, else why
should he go at once to the police
station and give himself up. The
world will call that man crazy, yet he
had sense enough to realize his po-
sition, and to save his neck from the
hands of an Infatuated people, went
to the station house and told what he
had done. It may seem heartless and
unjustifiable, yet we believe it would
have a salutary effect upon other
cranks and would-be assassins, if this
one were taken out and hanged. It
might have a tendency to cool off
the fevered brain of others yet at
large. It seems to us that he should
be dealt with as any other criminal
who had committed so heineous a
crime. A man who commits such
dastardly piece of work, and has in
telligence enough to 60 to the station
and give himself up to the author
tiles should stand trial; and we pre-
sumo he will.
Carter Harrison, while always op-
posed by the high moral element of
Chicago, was really good man.
Common, yet aggressive in all his
business and political aspirations; all
things to all men; social and genial;
generous and kind, and with won
derful and striking personality, he
was character one would never for
get after having once looked upon
him. In his last campaign for may
or of Chicago, while opposed by all
the great dailies of that city, he won
the fight easily-he was, and had al
ways been, within easy touch of the
common people. The assassin's bull
let cut down remarkable figure.

AIR. coCKEOS MS DEFEAT.

IN the interview between our Washing
ton correspondent and Mr.. Cooke the ue-
feated PopulIst candidate for Governor
which we printed in Sundays issue the
defeated candidate gave one curious Fed-
son why he did not get more votes lie
said ne lost many votes of farmers be-
cause they were in debt to merchants
and bankers, and fear OF their remofse-
less creditors coerced the farmers VINO
wanted to vote for him into voting for
the Democratic nominee. But Mr., Cooke
forgot the fact that voting is done IN
Virginia by secret ballot, and, If farmer
wanted to vote for him he could 90 II
with a secret ballot, and no man would
ever know for whom he voted. He may
say the farmer who wished 10 vote Tor
him had too much Independence to con-
ceal his vote But, in reply to this. we say
that a farmer who has no more indepen-
dence than to allow fear of mis- merchant
to dictate to nim how he shall vote, is
mean enough to vote a secret ballot in
order that he MAY keep his neighbors rom
Knowing how ne voted. so come again,
Captain Cooke; that rooster Will not
fight.
1t was no more than natural to expect
Mr. Cooke to lay his defeat at the door
of "the iron hand Of the money power -
and this. as we have indicated, he did
But we very naturally suggest this IN
quiry: Whom does he include in "the
money powerY'
We had a vague sort Of an idea that the
Populists had vague sort of an idea
that the money power is dragon whose
lair is in Wall street. New York. and
Threadneedle street, London. But do they
mean to say that every man, wherever ne
may dwell. who happens TO have little
accumulated capital, is part Of the money
power?" The debts due by Virginia farm
ers TO merchants are due TO Virginia
merchants Are the Virginia merchants
part Of that odious and devastating
money power" that the Populist party
has been raised up by heaven TO over

a dollar Of money. All their business Is
done by transferring credits.

MONEY PLAYS BUT A SMALL PART
In BUSINESS.

Three hundred years ago the whole
world believed, as the Rev. Jasper now
believes, that the sun revoIved around
the earth. and It was ready to tear
Galiieo limb from limb because ne an
nouneed that the earth revolved around
the sun. Nevertheless Calico was right,
and all the world was wrong. Univer-
salty of belief, therefore. is no sort of
proof of truth.
There is a very large body of men In
the United States who believe that a
nations prosperity requires an unlimited
supply OF metallic money chow great
that supply should be none of them

in error as the whole world was in res
pect 10 the suns movement, prior to
Galileo's time. The error, though, in hav-
ing forced itself into legislative halls.
has done infinite harm in this country.
and Will do more yet unless all trace OF
- Is eradicated from the minds OF those
who make our laws. They must learn
that metallic money is the standard of
value TO which all commodities are re-
ferred as a basis for determining their
relative exchangeable values, but that the
metallic money is used in the most In
significant number Of cases for enecting
actual exchanges. The law Of supply
and demand having determined that the
labor necessary to produce a bushel OF
what this year is exactly the same as
the labor ncccs sary 10 dig a gold dollar
out OF the earth, that law has fixed the
value of a bushel of wheat this year as
one dollar. We put the bushsl measure
TO a pile OF wheat and ascertain that it
contains one Thousand bushels. We
know, therefore. that IL is worth one thou
sand dollars for the purpose Of eXchang-
ing IL for those things which wheat
raisers want but do not possess. We APP
ply the same principle 10 determine what
n pile Of cotton is worth, and when We
get a pile worth one thousand dollars,
that pile Of cotton is exchanged for the
other pile OF wheat. and this is the way
business is conducted. Money has played
no sort OF part In the transaction. eS-
cept as a standard Of reference-the part
OF the dictionary in language; the sales
and purchases that lake place are moth

POPULIsTs RE FUSE TO COMBINE.
Delegates Instructed Not to Vote for Kolt
Men in Sta Convention.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Nov. l2.-The
chances are that the Populists viii not fuse
with the Jeffersonian Democrats or Kolb
men in this state in the coming elections.
The platforms of the two parties are
rather close together, and both are work
ing 20 a common end 10 defeat the organ
lied Democratic party in NE state IL has
been regarded as a. foregone conclusion
here that the two parties would fuse.
This impression was dispeled to-day,
however, when the Populists announced
that at a county convention held here
last night the following resolution was
adopted:
Resolved. That the delegates from THIS
convention be instructed 10 support no
man from another political organization
for any State office save that of the
Peoples party"
There was some little discussion as 10
the resolution. IF Kolb is a Jefrersonian
Democrat" said one speaker, "he is not
Peoples party man, and ought not 10
receive our votes. He won't get mine. |
know Our delegates must be instructed
TO vote for avowed Peoples party candi-
dates and for no others"
A vote being taken, the resolution pre-
vailed unanimously, and twenty-seven
delegates were appointed TO the State
convention, which will be called for an
early date The impression with the Pop
ulsts appears TO be that Kolb expects 70
get back into the Democratic party. and
is only using their party as a cat's-paw.
They have no office-seekers I'm their party.
but they will put man in the race for
Governor.
