mander of the Kansas state militia,
who refused to obey the orders of Gov.
Lewelling last winter during the leg
lature troubles at Topeka, has been
dlshonorably dismissed from the SER
vice.
The Rocky Mountain Daily News.
the most infuential paper in the west,
has announced it's departure from the
democratic party and its determine
ton to fight, in the future, with the
ropulists. The logic of events is
bringing them.
A crank was found in the white
house seeking the life of the Presi-
dent the other day. while another
ope ed fire from the gallery on the
tulls and bears in the Chicago ex-
change a few days ago. The lives of
millionaires in New York were threat
ent d few days ago. On with the
dance! but those who dance must paw
the fiddler.
DOES wealth make a man hoggish?
1t would seem SO, and the wealthier
they are the more hoggish they be-
come. The will of F. L. Ames. the
wea hest man of Bos; on, estimated
to be tn S35, 100000, did not leave
dollar public purposes. Among
all the milliopaires of New York not
one OF them has ever been reported as
giving dollar to the starving poor
now walking the streets of that city
begging for bread. 1t seems to be
fact that as a rule the richer
people get the more avaricious and
miserly they become
THE pointment of j. ]. Van Allen,
the husband of one of the Astor
women, as ambassador to Italy, is fol-
lowing closely the precedent estab-
lished by Zen Harrison in appointing
John Wanamaker postmaster-g general
both by reason of the fact that the
appoiD tees had contributed large
sums to the campaign fund of their
parties. ] his Van Allen is n
English cad, snobbish ass, who has
nothing in common with our American
institutions. and has nothing to recon-
mend him but the wealth he secured
by marrying into the Astor family.
The charge of the New York World
that his appointment was bought by
his contributing $50, coo to the demo-
cratic campaign fund last year was
considered sufficient grave by the
senate to require an inve>tieation be-
fore confirming the appointment.
THE "wave of Indignation" the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says that Sena-
tor Stewards arraignment of Grover
Cleveland ''sent all over the country"
proves TO have been nothing more
serious than a Globe Democrat lie.
The wave OF indignation" has con-
fined itself to gold bug, rose rag
sheets of the CD. kidney, to papers
like the CD, that make their edi-
torials opinions commercial commodi-
ties. The Globe Democrat is st. Louis
worst enemy. Its policy is creating a
prejudice against the city of st. Louis
that will in time be felt by her busi-
ness men as fully as the people of New
York are beginning to feel. by the loss
of trade from the west and south.
The day that many reform workers
have been looking forward to so anx-
iously for many years seems to be
dawning. The darknes is disappear
ing and the light is breaking. The
people are thinking-ah, more, they
are moving Every where, from everv
quarter of the country, reports are
coming of the rapid growth of the
peoples party by new accessions from
every neighborhood-m+n everywhere
throwing off their old party garments
and putting on the new. County or
CARNATIONS have been formed in al
most every county in the western and
southern states nd now the work is
being pushed in the caste n and New
England states, with state tickets In
the field in several states and in a
vi NOohOACo WnSE0 no or
ganizatio have been had before.
New populist papers are springing ND
by the scores all over the country.
New ones being reported every day.
All, the people are coming and the
day of deliverance is almost here.
B PROMPTLY voting down the home

THE railroad managers are . queer
set of fellows When the farmers tn TX
about government ownership they
send lot of men around to try to con-

ray taxes on the full value of the
roads they swear they are not worth
