The Awful Liars.

It is amusing to see the awful ly-
ing the daily papers resort to about
the peoples party. If one read only
the headlines he would conclude
that the last populist had returned
to the old parties; and as many do
read only the headlines, hence the
shocking trickery. In the St. Paul
Globe of last week we saw a para
graph headed, "ALLIANCE UNION
DEAD" We were alarmed. But we
read on and found the following:
Topeka, Kan, Dec. THE Farm
erS Alliance and Industrial Union as
an organization of non-political
character is dead. A long secret ses-
sion has been held to day, and the
facts are difficult to get, but enough
politicians have won. The Omaha
populists platform was adopted to-
day from top to bOttOm.''
Instead of the "A1liance Union" of
Kansas, "the f. A. and I. U.," being
dead, as the Annanias of a sub-editor
would have the casual reader believe,
the "F. A. and I. u" is more alive
than ever; for it has moved into poll
tics and adopted the Omaha plat
form, from top to bottom" Won't

play and decency, cut the official

Whose Ok is GOred.

The republican press is making
great howl against State Auditor
Bierman, because he is a democrat:
but they have not a word to say
against his republican predecessors,
although there has not been an OBJ
jectionable practice, of which Bier
man is guilty, that these republican
officials were not guilty of also.
Bierman says, in self-defence:
"Precedents for selling pine at pri-
vate sale are numerous under the
administration Of every auditor
since 1860. While this was contrary
to law prior to 1885, it was undoubt-
edly deemed necessary to protect

Michigan is now enveloped in snow

this would indicate that one half of

Bynum Wants to Raise 1t by An Income
Tax Southern congressman Not Tickled
Over the Idea.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Representa-
tive Bynum, of Indiana, proposes to
bring the income tax question before
this congress in different form from
that in which it has heretofore been
presented. Heis already canvassing the
sentiment of the democratic members
on the proposition Mr.. Bynum pro-
poses graduated income tax, the fund
derived therefrom to be set apart for
the maintenance of a general pension
law. The southern congressman, who
as general thing favor an income tax,
do not, however, take kindly to the
second proposition of devoting the fund
to the payment of pensions. The meas
ure finds some strength among western
republicans and is strengthened among
this class by the general pension feat
ure which Mr.. Bynum has tackled on.
The Indiana congressman has not yet
put his proposition in the form of bill,
but will probably do SO when the sub
ject of an income tax is brought before
congress, as it undoubtedly will be at
this session. 1t is possible that Mr..
Bynum will conclude that it would be
advisable to put an income feature into
