When the populist leaders have
sneered so much at free passes, isn't it
well for the masses of the party to call
halt onour state board of assessors
and Others riding all over the state on
free passes. 1t is hard to acknowledge
an error when it is poked at us jeerin!-
ly by the opposition; but when our
leaders forget to practice what they
preach, it is time tor the plain common
people of the party to pull them down
and show the other fellows that we
mean just what we say. All the apollo
gies and excuses the reform editors
have had to make for the populist par
ty, has been forced on them, by the
mistakes of leaders who think they
know it all, or the selfshness of leaders
who want it all; and yet if excuses and
apologies are not made for these leaders
the pop. editor catches -; well, from
a to lizard, from these self-same, self
constituted immaculates. Let the re-
form press raise its head above party
leaders and criticise action from the
standpoint of principle, let the ak fall

The New York bankers, in collision
with Cleveland's administration. an
nounce that they are going to ''con-
vert" the silver miners and advocates
of free silver coinage by process pc
culiarly their own. They will simply
refuse all credit to the west and south
until those sections come to their terms
and agree to repeal the Sherman law.
Having converted" all the gold to
their own uses, they will next "con-
vert the silver producers by the gar
roting process, and then they will sscon-
vert" the silver itself There's nothing
small about these bankers. Their an
petites are like those of sharks which
dlgests metal as easy as meat. We
shall see whether the west and south
will stand up and be robbed as mapped
out by the Wall street highwavmen in
combination with Cleveland. If our
pockets are to be picked we should az

Keep this in mind, the soldier was
promised pay in gold or money good as
gold, the bondholder was promised the
currency he gave. The soldier gave his
life and received deprecated currency;
the bondholder gave deprecated cur

ness of the gold-bug's pocket book has
been held superior by our government
to the sacredness of human life. Gen.

What we want in this country is the
Initiative and Referendum system Of
law-making. BY this system, whenev-
er q certain small per cent. of the vot-
ing population sign petition request
ing that any question be submitted to
apopular vote, the legislature Is COM
PEELED to submit it. By the Referen-
dunn, whenever the legislature passes a
law Of general interest it is submitted
to q popular vote at the next general
election before being placed on the
statute books. This places the law
making power where it should be, dir
ectly in the hands of the people, and
makes every campaign Of necessity a
campaign of education, from which
personal fights by rival candidates are
very largely excluded, as every candi-
didate, if elected, is amenabIe directly
to the wishes of his constituents. 1t
shuts on to a large extent also, the cor

X. c. Times: The populists are making
things quite lively over in Berlin these days.
Thanks for the compliment. When
ever legislators refuse to do what the
great mass of the people demand, and
patch up the laws so that the people are
left without recourse, then they have
become lawless tyrants, legally recog-
nized anarchists, and by some means
their political heads should be chopped
of, even if it takes a broad-ax to do it.
Compared with the liberties of the
masses, the heads of few politicians
do not amount to much.

Isn't the populist party just now in
