both of the Populist party aud of the
true principles of the Press, That
journal should be accorded the right
to define its own position. When it
abandons democracy and declares for
the Peoples party, we shall welcome
it to its proper place among the Peo-
ple's party papers of the state.
As stated in the outset, no one but
an experienced prevsricator could
crowd so many misstatements and
misrepresentation into so small a
space as we find accomplished in this
brief editorial of the Journal; but
where a party relies solely upon
falsehood and deception to perpetu-
ate precarlous existence, its sup
porters necessarily become skilled in
this kind of journalism. It is the
only style of republican argument
that Populists have had to meet since
the organization of the party.

THE KANSAS CITY JOURNAL"
SHOULD GET ITSELF TOGETHER.

The following editorial which ap-
peared in the Kansas City Journal
on the 10Th inst. will strike ADVOCATE
readers as strange doctrine to be
found in that most unscrupulous re-
preventative of plutocracy. It con-
tains as much fiat and anarchy as can
be found in any calamity paper in
the land. The Journals editorial
force should get itself together:
Did the reader note one thing in the ssso-
cisted press reports from Washington in the
journal yesterday morning? It was the fol-
lowing in the dispatch relating to the action
of the treasury officials as TO the gold situa-
ton. Il was in these words:
Among the officials Of the treasury de-
partment not the least fear or apprehension
is expressed of any financial embarrassment
growing out of the gold shipments. They
are satisfied, they say, that the shipments
are being forced by those who would be
benefited by the issue of bonds, and that as
soon ss brokers and bankers are positive
that their attempt to force the issue of
bonds will be useless, just 30 soon will the
gold shipments cease.
There is the whole matter disolosed-a
conspiracy of brokers and bankers TO force
monetary crisis in order to put the gov
ernment in debt several million dollars in
order to meet the effects of the conspiracy.
people must be very bigotedly blind not
to see the fact, and insensible to the remedy
if they do not prevent it. What is the causef
Simply that our laws recognize as money
that which we do not and cannot control.
Instead of national money we use usurer's
money. And these conspiracies are always
possible and always to be expected.
What is the pOsitionp By bad speculation
a couple Of years or 80 ago, these money
owners lost immense sums in South
AmeEcR, and it cost many millions to gel
out. The United States and India are fat
geese, and they must be pluoked until these
lost millions are made up. This is just az
natural as that the people who lost own the
gold. They are now making up their profit
and loss account.
Some day the legal tender note Of the
United States which the supreme court has
made constitutional forever, will be used tC
wrest the power over values from the hands
of the individual usurer. Were that power
in the statute to-day, we should never heal
Of panic, never see a crisis, never know
what financial disturbance means.
We know that all this power over money
is only from the exercise of control oveI
that which is recognized as money by the
individual, through permission or direc
comforting by society. The remedy is fOl
society, or the people, to resume this pOwel
to themselves. And it will yet come x
that.

make strange bedfellows," but often
make fools of men, or something very
near to that. This finds its illustration
in the lester of Mr.. OVermyer, as given
in the last number of the ADVOCATE. l
was not prepared for such a develop
ment in the face Of his recent career and
prominence and apparent sincerity
therein. There was no man in the state

and respect as for Mr.. Overmyer up to
this exposure Of insincerity and spite, to
designate it by no stronger terms. And
he will recognize this when he remem-
bers how 1 Complimented his sound
Jefersonian principles of limited gov
srnment and minimum legislation as
embodied in his speeches of a year ago
overlooking, as did, his onslaught on
Judge Doster, as a contest with q wind
mill after the true Don Quixote style,
and therefore Of no account one way or
the other.
But my admiration has got bad set
back. His letter of last week and his
subsequent regeneration astonished me
beyond measure. That he should simply
have been stslwsrt didn't detrRct from
my admiration and respect, though l
thought him mistaken. For it seems to
me that every we'll wisher of the demo-
cratic party can't fail to see and COM
prehend that the first and great and
most important thing on our hands is to
get rid Of the republican party, that has
corrupted all the sources of democratic
government and reversed all the trsdi-
tions, principles and practices of dem
ocrscy from the origin of our institu-
tions, as Mr.. Overmyer has himself so
often maintained in the most mastery
manner. / say, and so, thank God, the
mass Of the party in this state say, that
this is the first great work and abso-
lutely indispensable to everything else.
After this is accomplished, all else will
follow. Sufficient is the day for the con-
sequences thereof.
This development, too, dstracts verv
much from my estimate of the integrity
of ans-psrticulsrly of the stall
wart school, following SO close on like
development in the case Of Fort Scott
Harris, whom I know to have been
originally in favor Of fusion last season,
but was seduced or frightened from his
propriety by railroad influences and
suggestions. For it goes without saying,
that his railroad attorneyahip and in
terest dominates every other consider
alton, and politics must bend or break
when and where they come in conflict
with these. The people along that angle
worm line known as the Fort Scott, To-
peks & Dakota road have not forgotten
his agency in bonding them to promote
his selfish schemes in the construction
of that one-horse concern; as the suit at
Garnett afterwards set forth in glazing
and disgraceful colors. The shysteriug
Of those concerned, though it brought
poor Bush (the prime mover and agent
Of the Philadelphia syndicate) to the
lunstic asylum and the grave, feathered
the nests Of the Fort Scott and Topeka
underlings, and thus furnished the base
and snimus Of their subsequent politics
and political action.
And I need not refer to Commissioner
Mitchell in this connection. He is an
other of the same ilk-all Influenced
and governed by the same motives and
worshipers at the same shrine. The

is any reason to believe that there
would be any difference in the country
and city districts in this respect, it is
more natural to suppose q larger pro-
portionsl female vote would be cast
in cities than in the country because
of greater convenience to the polling
places. The Journals "of course,
Is an assumption that is purely gra'
tuitous, and is without the least
shadow of foundation in fact. Oh
course, therefore, the conclusion
drawn from this erroneous premise is
equally baseless.
(2) The female vote cast in the
cities was no eye-opener to Kansas
Populists. It is nothing more than
they expected.
(3) The conclusion drawn from this
"eye-opener," as before stated, ls ab-
solutely false. The Journal contin-
ues:
The leading organ Of the new party at To
peks says that female suffrage should not be
advocated by PopulistS after the way the
women voted few days ago.
The ADVOCATE claims to be the lead
ing organ of the party IN Topeka, and
it has made no such statement as the
above, nor has it made any statement
that could be distorted to convey
any such sentiment. It has always
been, and still is q consistent advo-
cate of "equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none"
It may be stated here that the
Daily Press of this city did make
some statement to the effect that the
female vote in the recent elections
was not encouraging to Populists to
support the suffrage amendment; but
we protest against this statement as q
representation of Populist sentiment.
And right here we may as we'll cor
rect an error that is of very frequent
occurrence recently. It is hardly
proper to call it an error, either, be.
cause there is no excuse for it, and nc
ground for it. 1t is simply another
instance of malicious misrepresenta'
tion. We deslre to correct it as 6
matter of justice both to the Daily
Press and to the Peoples party.
We refer to the common practice
of designating the Daily Press as
Populist organ. 1t has never pre-
tended to be anything Of the kind. i
is a misrepresentation of its true
character to speak Of it as such. The
only ground for designating it as
Populist organ is that it makes some
claims to deCency in journalism. The
Press is q democratic paper, and tht
best one in the state. 1t has estsb
lished a reputation for honesty ant
fair dealing that entities it to the sup
port Of honest men Of all parties who
want truthful newspaper, SO Ions

it has started out. Populists regard

FALSE. As USUAL,


editorial on that date designed only
TO deceive it's readers as to actual
facts, we find so many misstatements
that the only difficult problem con-
nected with 1t is how they could all
be crowded into so small space. The
article exhibits skill in this particu-
lar line of writing which could only
be acquired by long practice. 1t
starts out with this statement:
A change has come over the spirit Of the
dreams Of the PopulistS in the matter Of
woman suffrage. About year ago, when
women predominated at the piCnicg, "a
rades and lodge meetings in Kanssa pnd
when the women Of the cities and tcvpE re-
fused to 20 out and exercise their pyi Vilege
Of voting at the school elections, be Popu-
lists were strong in favor Of female suffrage,
going 80 far as to make il pRrt Of their
state platform.
There are in this brief paragraph,
stated and implied, no less than three
misleading references which the Jour-
mal would impress upon the minds OF
ITS readers. We will mention them
in their order:
(I) The statement that there is a
change in the sentiment Of Populists
upon the suffrage question is abso-
lutely false and without shadow of
foundation. The Journal has no evil
dence Of any such change, and its
statement is made to deceive it's read
ers, and for no other purpose. This
will further appear as we proceed.
~ It Is implied, though not dis
tinctly stated, that there is less en-
thusiasm among the Populist women
who "predominsted at the picniCs,
parsdeS and lodge meetings" in favor
of Populist principles than formerly,
and this is alluded to as cause Of
the assumed decline Of public senti"
ment in favor of equal suffrage. This
is likewise false. Popullst women are
as enthusiastic to-day for Populist
principles as they ever were, and
there are more of them in Kansas
than ever before. They are incress-
ing in numbers every day.
81 The women of the cities and
towns have never refused to go out
and exercise their privilege Of voting
at school elections" On the other
hand, they have availed themselves
of the privilege in all municipal cleo
tions to an extent that shows the i'm
portance they attach to their rights
In securing what they believe to be
good municipal governments. Take
the falsehood out of this paragraph
and there is nothing left OF it. The
Journal continues:
OF course, all that good will shown to the
women was because il was believed that the
voting Of the female element would be con-
fined to the women of the country districts,
and not to the cities and towns. But the
overwhelming vote Of the women at the re-
cent municipal elections has served as an
eye-opener TO the Populist leaders, and now
they are no longer in favor Of full suffrage
TO women.
