Another Lie Nailed.

Tom Watson, the Georgia Populist
leader, has gone back into the Dem
ocratic fold. His recent defeat by
over 5000 majority in his campaign
for reelection has convinced him that
there isn't anything more for Watson
In the Peoples party.-Monitor.
Seeing similar report in the Re-
publican papers, and knowing that
the Monitor repeats and reiterates all
the lies manufactured by the yenal
press, the proprietor Of the VOICE
wrote to Mr.. Watson about the mat
ter and received the following reply:
ATLANTA, Ca, April |, 1893.
Lyman 'Naugle, ESQ, Wellington,

has set the story to rest in his last
leader. send you marked copy of

lie, for lie it is out of the whole cloth,
will not notice the correction. The

The article spoken of sets at rest
any ideas that may have been enter
tanned about Mr.. Watson going back
to the Democratic party. He is
stronger in the faith than ever.
The insinudtion Of the Monitor
that the majority against Mr.. Wat
son would influence him in his views
is simply contemplate. Mr.. Watson
knows that there never was a grosser
fraud than the reported majority
against him and the results Of the To-
cal election in that district a few
weeks ago shows that the Peoples
party is stronger than ever. We do
not expect the Monitor to make the
correction, however. There is not
enough honor and fairness about 10

Readers of the great magazines are
being made aware Of the diSsolu-
tion Of old party lines at every turn.
An able editorial in the Review Of Re-
views for April under the head Of rs
a New Party Emerging" says:
in due time the Performers" Of
the party OF inertia will be superseded
again by the Performers" Of the party
OF energy. 1t is in the very nature OF
things. 1t does not signify by what
name either party calls itself. There
is belief in many quarters that the
Republican party is about to disap-
pear. The Democratic party is, Of
course, indestructible, because 1t
rests on a basis Of permanent princi-
pies that make it the natural enemy
OF every successive new programme Of
innovation that comes up demanding
accomplishment through active gov.
ernmental agency. Possibly the Pop
ulist party is destined to present the
next formidable programme which
the Democracy must face and fight.
Perhaps the Republican party may yet
gather itself up and find something
TO contend for in the line OF a pro-
gressive American policy that will
win the public confidence and favor.
Or possibly the Democratic party it.
self may divide into two camps to
which Republicans and Populists will
flock according TO their individual
creeds or interests. Whatever may
be the process Of party reconstruction,
a breaking down Of old party lines
has evidently begun"

ing a mortgage redemption bill. Not
withStanding nearly every state in
the union his a redemption bill OF
some sort. il was too much for Kansas
10 expect fayorS equal u those ac-
corded white people" They all eX-
claim with one accord that it will ia
lure our credit and therefore make il
more difficult TO get loans. What a
great strain il has been on the credit
Of other states Of the union. 1t is
past understanding how a class Of
fellows who raise a howl because Kan
Sas wants legislation that will put her
people on a level with other states
en- be credited with standing up for
Kansas. Ii their wishes were con-
suited they would advise that the
people stand still while they are be-
ing robbed, on the ground that If you
don't give the robbers any trouble
they will not steal 50 much from you.
We fail to see any deeper logic than
this in their arguments. When you
turn the matter over in all its bear
ingS the irresistible theory evolves
that it is wrong for Kansas to ask or
expect fayOrS that have for 10, these
many years been granted to people Of
other states. And this they call
standing up for Kansas" Do loan
companies refuse loans in other states
because of their redemption laws?
Do not the federal statistics show
that there are as many mortgages in
other states as in Kansas? There
may be a temporary curtailment Of
loans due to the noise made by those
opposed to the passage Of this meas
ure, but for this the Republican press
is responsible, not the merits Of the
law. The fact OF the business is, the
credit OF Kansas has suffered more
from this cause than from any other
There is no more question in the
minds Of anyone familiar with affairs
here about the honest intention Of
the debtors Of Kansas than there Is Of
those Of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and
other states, but the noise made every
time an effort is made to put the Kan
sas debtor on the same footing as his
neighbor, attracts the attention Of
the outside world and there begins to
arise sort Of suspicion, and for this
our thanks are due to this class Of
fellows who know nothing but to
swim along In obsequious obedience
to the dictates Of the middle-man be-
tween the borrower and the lender,
sneeze every time they take snuff, cry
stop thief" every time they look du-
bious, and then have the superlative
gall to say they are standing up for
Kansas" Is it not about time for in
telligent people to quit following such
weak leadership. Let US be men.
Let us give the outside world to un-
stand that we know our rights, and
knowing them, dare maintain! Let
US quit cringing and humbling our
selves. Rather let US command re-
spect, not beg it. To do otherwise is
contrary to the true American spirit.

Topeka fress, thOnuayJ
According to Mr.. ]. W. Showalter
publication Of Bank Commissioner j.
W. Credentials scathing criticism in
. heightened, moral newspaper, the
Topeka Daily Press, had no effect on
him, and "if / regard wholly my per-
sonal feelings" says he, 81 would not
take notice Of the article now, but the
said interview was reprinted in mud
singing sheet In this city, misnamed
the Peoples Voice, with insulting
headlines, OF such character as to
suit the depraved tastes Of itsreaders,
and as consequence many inquiries
have been made to me about the in
terview, from friends, personal and
otherwise and from such as | consid-
cred had right 10 know, and there
fore have made up my mind TO an
swer it," Since the publication OF The
Press interview In the "mud-slinging
sheet, the Peoples Voice." which Ca
tiers to the "depraved tastes OF Its read
ers," has brought it to the notice Of Mr..
Showalter, and caused many inquiries
from his personal friends, it would
appear that there is field for mud
Singing journalism after all.
One of the most important laws en-
acted by the legislature was one COM
polling the railroads to put in track
scales at every station from which
one hundred cars of grain had been
shipped the previous year. The bill
is one drawn up by the state associa-
tiOn of grain shippers and is a meritO-
riOus measure. as it will compel the
railroads to make good losses by short
age that are such frequent cause Of
trouble between the shippers and the
roads.-MonitOr.
Glad to hear that you think it was
meritOrious measure, and when you
are aware OF the fact that the bill
was Senator FOrney's measure, we
hope you may not be constrained TO
fly the track and denounce it as cal
culated to bankrupt the railroads or
drive capital from the state. Senator
Forney framed the bill and pushed it
through. The state association Of
grain shippers furnished some Incl
dental amendments to it which Sena-
tor FOrney accepted, and he acknowl-
edges their assistance in helping him
to get the bill through, but 1t was his
bill and TO him belongs the credit.

Nebraska'S legislature passed the
maximum freight rate bill after a
prolonged struggle and many turbu-
lent scenes. The legislature Of Ne
braska had a PopuliSl majority and
the people got what they wanted. 1t
seems to be a crime in the eyes of the
Republican party fdc the people of
Kansas to ask for as good
laws as their neigoborS in other
states. 1t seems that Kansas was
created in order to afford fat picking
for corporations and lot of lazy
nincOmpOOps who live by the grace of
their servile attitude toward them.
Why are not Kansans as much enti-
tied to low freight rates as Nebras-
kanS and IOwans?

All is grist that comes to the calam-
ity mill. A very timely and sensible
little article in the ArgOnia Clipper
advising people to adapt the pay-as-
yOu-go system Of doing business, calls
out whole column of watery braSh
from the official calamity waller Of
the county. full Of maudlin driyel
about Shyl0ck. Wall street, coupon
clippers and the contraction Of the
currency. If the Clippers advice
we're generally adopted, and the peO-
pie should learn to do without what
they hayn't the money to pay for,
half the men at whose doors the wolf
is now perpetually growing, would
be on their feet financially and the
gains of every trade and occupation
would be doubled. If every man
would sweep before his own door and
keep his expenditures rigidly within
his income, Wall street and ShylOck
would make very little trouble inthis
world. But its cold day when the
professional calamity belly-acher can
not find something to make himself
miserable Over.-MOnitOr.
That little word ''if'' is a great
subterfuge. IF" the Monitor would
endeavOr to cOntrOvert the facts and
deductions set out by the calamity
waller" instead of tossing them aside
as ''watery brash" people would have
more respect for its ability. Let us
imagine that we are going to adopt
the cash system. We have about one
billion dollars of money In the United
StateS-a little in excess of that.
The public debt alone, including ma
tional, state, county and municipal,
is nearly two billions, to say nothing
Of the enormous Indebtedness of indi-
viduals. Now let everybody demand
cash. Where would your bankruptcy
end? Don't you see that it is an ut
ter impoSsibility? There is scarcely
enough money to pay the interest, to
say nothing Of the principal. These
things are kept so purposely in order
to perpetuate the usury system.
These debts represent the accumula-
tions from year to year Of the def
cheney in the amount Of money that
is necessary to carry on our commerce.
1t is all well enough to talk about
paying as you 60" and We say God
speed the day when it will be adopted
but it is an absolute impossibility un-
der our present financial organization.
There must be shortage somewhere
because there is not enough money to
reach all the way around.
By way Of retort to the wiseacre OF
the Monitor we might add that sip
he had not been born an ass he might
have made a statesman.
