The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1893-05-03
0, Be Joyful!


Of four or FIVE pages solid ''ofticial" matter
in that dRuntlesS pioneer Alliance organ OF
Kansas, the ADVOCATE. It would have made
no change in DR.. MCLallin had he received
no distinction of a remunerative nature
whatever. He would have kept the middle
of the road just the same, and this change
Of the official printing from the columns OF
RplutocratiO daily that seldom, if ever, en-
ters farmers home, to the columns Of q
weekly that is taken everywhere by the tax
payers, affords boundless satisfaction to the
Populist workers, regardless of state lOca-
tion.
EDITOR ADVOCATE: - This clipping
from the N0n-Conf0gmiSt is especially
good. Well-deserved praise to deserv-
ing man. The ADVOCATE has struggled
and toiled, beseeched and plead, argued
and exhorted, refuted and rebuked, and
msnfully stood up for and defended the
righteous cause Of the people through
thick and thin. Now come the fruits.
Here they come:
An Act. An Act. An Act. An Act.
Oh! brethren, let us thank God and
take courage; press on. Let us rejoice
and be exceeding glad, forasmuch as we
see that our labor is not in vain in the
Lord.
Here is just what we hsYe been after
all this time. Let us have a care now
that our Acts are right. But what will
the poor old Capital, that old daily Cap
it@l, the iron-bound CGpitai, the moss
covered Capital, that used to publish the
Acts, do? What do! All, hs! Why, ap.
peal to the supreme court. Make a test
case. Don't you know, Hudson, that it is
unconstitutional to have these acts pub
lished in the ADvoCATEP OF course it
is. Yes, sir; certainly; Of course it is.
The supreme court can knock the fruits;
and there sit your two judges just ready
and waiting to relieve you of this dis.
tressiDg situation. Don't you know that
the supreme court plaster is a pRnscea
for all the ills Of the dirty mud-sillsP
Cut out, prepared, made, fashioned,
Sewed up and put together, lined and
padded for this very purpose? Don't
despair, Hudson. Capital, Hudson;
Hudson, Capital; Capitals the word.
Never fear while Capital lasts, but 90
with your Capital to the supreme court.
You need but take very small bore gun
along with you. All Will be we'll, and
we'll plastered over. And then, why,
then remember your other brethren in
distress. Point them to the great su-
preme court remedy. Remember Ricks
and Taft, the Great Bear and the Dog
Star; and Billings, with his satellites;
and all the rings, with the Pleiader and
Orion and his bands. All, all with itch
ing palms and hungry pocket books,
hung out in line over the "empty place"
for gain. Coal barons, railway msgnates,
come view the landscape DER! Behold!
Is not the court supreme? Court, cour-
tier, courtesy. Soup, soap, super, su-
preme. High, higher, highest, most high.
Your honor, honorablest, most honor
sblest and reverend, your honor. At the
head, above all, superior, supreme.
Now, Brotherhood Of Engineers, now!
Knights Of Labor, prostrate yourselves
Labor organizations, fly to pieces, bust
up, or 90 to jail and wear striped |
breeches! command you to work. 1
command ySu to keep right on working
Don't you stop, you dogs, youl It's con-
tempt to stop working! Roll ahead, |
