HIS BROTHERS LIFE.
Rev. Arthur Brooks Devoted His sermon

Rev. Arthur Brooks Devoted His Sermon
to Eulogy of Phillips Brooks's Life.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. - Rev. Arthur
Brooks devoted his sermon yesterday, at
the Church OF the Incarnation, to eulogy
OF the life of his brother, Phillips Brooks
1t was a faithful analysis, in which the
praise appeared only in the mere facts OF
the lato Bishop Brooks's career.
Mr.. Brooks said In substance, that the
religion of Bishop Brooks was part OF
his nature, in born and fostered by all his
associations OF childhood. II had become
so controlling factor in his life that, al
though left entirely to his inclination, he
had turned to the ministry as his life
work, even before he finished his college
education at Harvard. He had not re-
garded 1t In any sense as a sacrifice, but
privilege. II was choice, made against
protests OF his college mates TO whom his
early achievements with them had giveI
promise OF great career. They feared h
would waste his opportunities In his
chosen calling. He feared that the most
elaborate realizations OF the mental prom
ises OF his early manhood would hardly
suffice to meet the requirements OF what
be wished to achieve.
The dominant quality of his life which
was conspicuous in every stage OF its de-
velopment, was that of combinations. II
vas constant protest from the first
against n partition OF interests. Each ad-
vance that he made was the breaking
down OF barrier and the assimilation OF
the new features, and not departure
from the old. His sermons were always
directed TO mankind. No one could leave
his church and feel that there was moth
ing said there for him. He never used
topics OF the day, in their limited sense,
to lend sensationalism to his discourse,
yet he always seemed TO reach the heart
OF the life interests of every day in what
he said

Big Blaze mt Gardner. Mass.

GARDNER, Mass, Feb. 90 The Art
Publishing Company's large frame build
ing on Chestnut street, was totally de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The
bull lding was a mass OF flames when the
fire was discovered. All the contents were
destroyed. The Art Publishing Company
employed So hands. II had recently con-
solidated with the Tabor Art Company OF
New Bedford. The company's loss will be
about s125, 200; insurance $4,000. A part
OF the building was erected in 1857, and
was used for the first church in this town.
The Art Publishing Company built large
additions one year ago, and was doing an
extensive business. IL had made plans
for furthur business that would have ma.
tured In few months. The building was
situated in the heart OF Gardner Centre,
and had the wind been strong the fire
would have swept the whole square. The
ire probably caught around the boiler.

BETTER INVESTIGATE THE FACTS.

The National Wstohman is going too far
in its Hght against Macune, Ben Terrill and
others. Macune, as member Of the ALI
anoe, has a right TO be a democrat. His
treschery consisted in pretending to be for
the Peoples party, while he secretly worked
for the democracy. This should not be
further used as a wedge with which TO split
the Alliance, for that is just what the Corpo-
rations most desire. We advise every mem
Der Of the U. o. A. M. to go into the Alliance
and every member Of the Alliance who can
liberate himself from party diotum to go
into the U. o. A. M. Both these organiza-
tions must be non partisan, for they are
educators, teaching right principles, while
they leave the individual to his own judg-
ment as TO how these principles can best be
carried into law. The Watohman is an ably
edited paper, but it is permitting its per-
sonal fight on Macune to go too far in aid of
splitting the Alliance. The farmers north
and south must keep together, and the only
way to do this at this time is to keep the AL
lance out Of partisan politics. The Wasp,
February 8.
The Wasp doesn't know what it is
talking about To begin with, Macune
publicly withdrew from the Alliance
at the supreme council at Memphis,
and he is therefore entitled to no
rights whatever as a member of the
order.
His treachery does not consist, as
the Wasp states, sin pretending to
be for the Peoples party while he
secretly worked for the democracy"
His treachery consisted in using his

other hand, if there was unlimited coinage
of silver, dollar would be worth no more
ten years from now than at the present
time. It is just case between the money
borrower and the money lender, and silver
reconciliation is bound to be made COM
plete sooner or later. The outlook for early
legislation in favor of fsilver ia not prom
ising, but the public demand is growing
stronger. Four years hence neither Of the
great political parties will dare to nominate
a presidential candidate who is not favor
able to the free coinage of silver"
Now this is precisely what the AD-
vooATE has claimed for that confer
enee from the first. 1t was a gold
bug conspiracy to deceive the people
and postpone Legislation. The ad-
minlstration was a partner to that
conspiracy, and congress appropri-
ated $80,0OOto pay the expenses of
the grand junketing expedition and
to wine and dine the delegates.

done in various ways, and especially
in the sending of what is generally
called the Tillman supplement to his
subscribers. Anybody who knows
Tillman knows very well that he never
wrote that supplement; and anybody
who has read very much of Macune's
writings could hardly fail to see his
ear-marks upon it. The talk ABOUT
the exposure of his treachery being
used as wedge to split the Alliance
is all bosh. The split would amount
to just about as much as the Hall and
McAllister split that was blowed so
loudly through the republican press.
The Macune splinter will never be
missed, except in the purifcatlon of
the order by its separation. The
Wasp simply does not know what it
is talking about, while the Wutchman
does. We recommend the Wasp to
investigate before criticising men who
are informed upon this subject.

A CONSPIRACY.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, in a
recent interview concerning the
monetary conference at Brussels, said:
"The conference was proposed and carried
out" said the senator, "merely to stave off
the passage of free silver bill by our con-
gress. II was not intended for anything
but blind, and the fact that it has and will
not accomplish any results does not as
tonlsh any one familiar with the oiroum-
stances surrounding its creation. The ad-
vantage to the eastern capitalists would be
this, if silver is demOnetized: A man who
owed 500, payable in ten years, would have
to pay practically $125, inclusive Of interest,
when the debt became due. This is about
the rate which gold is sppreCiating. On the

DOES THE "TOILBR" BEGIN TO sBBp

The last National Economist says: sat
the next election the Peoples party may
drop the Alliance demands, and one of the
other parties may take them up, and in that
event every man who believes in the de-
mRnds should be free to follow them if he
chooses"
Certainly every man is free in the Alliance
or Peoples party either to vote for any
party they may choose, but it is assuming a
good deal to say that either of our old
parties will adopt our Alliance demands
when they are to-day bitterly opposing the
most vital issues which the Alliance is con-
tending for. The Peoples party are to-day
defending these Alliance demands as
strongly as they did during the canvass, and
it does seem that our National Alliance
organ should at least have more praise for
the party adhering to our Alliance demands
than for those openly opposing. If we want
our demands enacted into laws, we must
stand by the party that has the courage to
stand by US instead of throwing cold water
on it.-Toiler, Februsry8 8.
The TOiIer will learn in the course
of time that what we told its editor at
Memphis is true-that DR.. Macune
is hypocrite and traitor and has
no use for either the Alliance or the
Peoples party, except SO far as he
can use them to advance his private
interests.

BILLINGsaATE DOES NOT COUNT.

The Eskridge Star is having a very
bad spell. In It's issue OF January 26
is something over column Of vapor-
ing, in which the terms hypocrisy, an
srchy, inquisltional, rapine, plunder,
lawlessness, revolution, treason, COM
munism, and several others that are
supposed to be significant of dire dis
aster are used with prodigality that
indicates much more familiarity of
the editor with the mere form of
words than with their meaning or
their correct application. The editor
of the Star, with several others of his
ilk, have yet to learn, it appears, that
these words have not the terrors to
the people of Kansas that they once
had. They have been used so indis-
criminstely and with SO little regard
to propriety IN the columns of the
republican press that they have be-
come meaningless. Let the aforesaid
editor of the Star take time to cool
off. Such billlngsgate as he indulges
in will neither help him or his cause.
There is principle involved In this
contest of the people with the corpo-
rations and the representatives of
concentrated capital, we might say of
the world, which must be discussed
with candor and without invective,
and the reason and the calm iudg-
ment of the people must be appealed
to rather than their prejudices. The
deluded dupes who can witness the
concentration of wealth in the hands
of q few men in this country, while
the masses are constantly growing
poorer, and still sustain the policy
under which such a condition has
been brought about, are to be pitied
for their ignorance rather than
blamed for perversity of heart.

value and but few of them have anything
within reach Of their creditors, 80 it is to be
presumed they are plutoorats who clip cou-
pOns from bonds they have forgotten TO
mention to the assessor. Isaac 2. Camp
bell is among the number. He is lawyer
and wants to be railroad commissioner. He
qualities for $4,000, yet he pays tax on but
$65 worth of'prOperty, and this, by the way,
is still due, and the court records show
judgments against him to the tune OF
81, 1862.
Rufus Cone, chief of police, is down as
qualifying for $4,000, yet he has judgments
against him for over $1,000 and none of his
property is in his own name. There are two
Of the bondsmen picked from among the
better known names ON the list and their
liabilities are fully equal to that OF the
average signer from SedgwiCk county.
Il would be hard to think of anything 80
mean that the old crowd in Kansas would
not do, if only it promises political gain.
The Beacon does not know anything about
I. P. Campbell's business, but is willing to
venture the prediction that he is good for
the amount signed by him. AS to Rufus
Cone, everybody IN Sedgwiok county knows
him. He has been before the public for
years either as business man or public
officer. During all these years no man has
ever sued Rufe Cone for debt. The judg-
ment now standing in this county is against
Rufus Cone, sheriff of Sedgwick county. It
was a case in which the rights Of property
was being tried and for which Mr.. Cone
holds an ample indemnity bond from the
party bringing the suit. The case is now in
the supreme court and the party who sent
out this dirty dispatch from Wichita knew
that fact just as well as anybody else.
These republican hOWlers will never con-
sent that any honest farmer or business
man is fit to 60 on the bond of state treas
urer. And because these business men and
farmers dared to go on Mr.. Biddle's bond
these organs of monopoly have sent out
their sleuth hounds all over the state of
Kansas to run down and Vilify the men who
signed bond for as honest man as was
ever elected to an Office in Kansas. Crack
your whips and summon your hounds by
bugle or hooray. Mr.. Biddle is in Office
and there will stay in spite of plutOcraoy
and its dirty work assistants.
The people of Kansas stood the old DOM
ineering crowd until virtue ceased longer to
be virtue, and they have fred the slander-
ous crowd from the management of affairs
in this state. Let them kick. Get up on
your hind legs and howl. You are out, and
the people of Kansas intend to keep you out.

Andrew Carnegie is back again in this
country, and according to the published
interviews must be in maudlin condi-
ton. He expresses touching sympathy
for labor, and declares himself labor
ing man. He deplores Homestead as
something that never should have hap
pened and never can happen again, but
says that he had no power to interfere
with Frick. In the next breath he de-
clares that he owns and always shall own
the majority Of the Homestead stock, and
proceeds to eulogize Frick as one of the
finest men and manufacturers Of the
country, whom the workingmen will
learn to love when they learn to know
him better. Lovers Of the race have
been inclined to think that Robert
Burns famous satires upon pious hypo-
critics did wrong to human nature, but

poet as faithful painter. New Nation,

THE DIRT sLINGERs.


to the point. There has, as the Beacon
states, been a systematic effort, first,
to prevent Mr.. Biddle from securing
a bond, and second, after the bond
was secured in spite of all opposition,
to convey the impression that 1t is
worthless. We can add an instance
to those cited by the Beacon illustra-
tive Of the methods pursued. One Of
the signers of the bond is a John
Guthrie, who, by the way, is perfectly
good for all he contracts. On the
discovery of this name, the gang
hunted up Hon. John Guthrie, of this
city, and secured denial from him
that he had signed the bond. Armed
with this they proclaim forgery,
and publish to the world that many
signatures upon the bond are spuri-
GUS. 1t does not seem to occur to
this outfit that honest people will
understand that there is more than
one John Guthrie in the universe,
and that the motive of all this hula
baloo will be thoroughly understood.
With at least two Of this crowd al
ready known to be defaulters, and
with the probability that thorough
examination of the books will show
more of them to be in the same boat,
it would appear that becoming
modesty would lead them to be less
demonstrative about assumed frauds
that have no foundation in fact. The
following is the Beacon article above
referred to:
The old republican crowd in this state
started in to beat State Treasurer Biddle
out Of the office to which he was elected by
making people believe that however honest
Mr.. Biddle might be in paying out the state
funds that proceedings would be brought
against his bondsmen for every cent going
through his hands.
When they had alarmed the people as they
supposed, there was nothing left for the old
crowd to do but to keep the banks Of the
state from giving Mr.. Biddle any support
in securing his bond. And just as soon as
they thought they had Mr.. Biddle in po-
sitlon where he was unable to secure good
and sufficient bond, the Topeka Capital and
the Leavenworth Times raised the howl that
the Populist state treasurer was unable TO
give bond and that the republican in
cumbent would continue to hold the Office.
Ofcourse every little trucking republican
paper in the state followed suit and there
was general howl all along the line that
Mr.. Biddle could not give bond.
But Mr.. Blddle did give bond and got
the Office to which the people had elected
him. Then the old crowd were mad, they
we're red hot. The idea that state treas
urer could give q bond independent of the
banks was certainly revolutionary move
ment that ought to convince anybody that
the Populists and democrats are anarchists.
Il was outright anarchy to help Biddle give
bond when the old crowd said he could
not have the Office to which he was elected
BY the people of Kansas.
Just as soon as Treasurer Biddle's bond
was accepted by the proper authorities, the
dirty republican sheets that are always
ready to do the bidding of their plutocratic
masters commenced a system of slander
against the men who signed Treasurer
Biddle's bond. Here is a sample sent out
