The landing of Judge Gresham in
Cleveland's cabinet will afford a great
amount of relief to those who wondered
what the Judge has been trying to do
for the past three or four years. Glad

Gen. Warner, president of the Amer
lean bimetallic league, is preparing an
address in which he shows conclusively

will the people stand such villainouS

early in April will begin the publica-

to be the national organ of the social
lists In his prospectus he says: 81 de-
sire to teach the new philosophy of
political economy-nationalism or So
cialism. 1t will be for the producer
against the capitalist and the competi-
ton of wage-slavery. It's name, the
Coming Nation, will indicate its mis-

ALI the indications point to a break
ing up of parties and the union of the
republicans and democrats, on the
financial system which the republicans

Most people will admit the neces-

money. All admit the necessity for
better roads, but very many are opposed
to voting bonds for road improvements.
In order to prove that the corporation
papers are not sincere in their demands
we suggest that the populists favor an
issue of full legal tender paper money
by the government, to be loaned to the
states at low rate of interest and an
