lana mas foSJ nearly all his money by
gambling in the .whiskey trust stocks.
1t is about time that all honest men
should look over the nations pros
poets with a view of inquiring where
are we at?''
The New Nation: With Boston.
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and some
hundred and fifty other American
towns and cities possessing or seek
ing to establish public lighting, it
looks as if the nefarious career of
the corporation gas meter were
nearly at an end.
Topeka Advocate and Tribune:
Hanging ON like grim death to e
hungry Chinamann is an inelegsait
saying very appropriate to the Re-
publican party in Kansas just now
But whether the said party represents
grim death or the hungry Chinxman
remains to be seen.
Journal of the knights of Gabor:
The reports OF discomfort dc the
ranks OF several British regiments
and the evidences ola growing sym-
pathy among the soldiery for the
struggles of the working classes
almost suggest the hope thzt in time
even state n&tiOnal guardsmen in
America may become unreliable in
strumen4s of s,apitalistic suppression
The Nanguard: Reliable statisti-
clans place the wealth of. the United
Statesat $66. 600, 600, O00 We all quote
the figures when we pra5e of the ad-
vance our republic has smade in ma
teriai wealth. daring the decades
since the war. No one disputes them.
Why then, do othere equally reliable
statistics show that;taxes are paid on
only $4,000, 900, 900? And why is
$147 600, GOO, 900 Of these; taxes levied
On the farmerssof the country?
Farmers Voice: People sometimes
suffer great. agony&because they. fear
a little pain. We have known per-
sons who could hardly walk because
they had corns onAheir feet when a
chiropodist would remove them in
five minutes without inf1icting, any
pain whatever. Moral and political
corns remain and hurt awfully for
years for a like reason; the sensitive
arc afraid of the pain that may be
caused by an effort to. remove them.
The New Nation: The campaign
OF education to which we should now
devote ourselves is in our opinion of
greater moment than the political
campaign just.closed. No American
party ever before had so much need
of such e. campaign, for none ever
advanced principles so new and
startling TO old prejudice, nor: could
any party before find SO great promise
in such a campaign, for none ever
proposed ENDS which when realized
will he SO vastly benefcent and in a
good sense revolutionary.
Chicago Sentinel: Why, you
might as we'll talk about white frost
killing q full grown pine tree as to
talk about the election of any one
mans killing the Peoples
party. 1t can't be killed. There is
no such thing on the books. The
whole legislature of Kansas can't kill
even one side of it. 1t is going to
march along to victory. 1t is going
to plant it's banner right on the dome
of the nations capitol at Washington
in spite of any and all mistakes that
its friends or enemies may make.
Farmers Tribune: The national
Republican committee has learned
nothing by the late defeat. They
still think the tariff the great issue
and are preparing new arguments IN
FITS defense. Look out for these argu-
ments, they intend to flood the coun-
try with them. They will be couched
I'm language Sunday dressed. They
will be veneered with glass war
ranted not to crack ..Or scale in any
climate. They will contain hidden
spring gagged to kick in either direc-
tion. Beware
Journal of Agriculture: What is
the duty of a legislator who is
elected to represent the people-not
himself, he is a serYant-when he
knows their wishes concerning any
question, but when his Judgment on
that question does not coincide with
that of his constituents Shall he
conclude that his wisdom is greater
than the combined wisdom of the
thousands whom he represents?
This would be rank presumption;
but even granting that his judgment
were superior to q majority of his
constituents, if he were. dealt with
as a private servant on small salary
would be in cases of .unfaithfulness,
he would be fired double quick.
Progressive Farmer: The South
Carolina newspapers have been
wringing their hands and .crying
calamity ever since Governor Till
man was first elected. They pre-
dicted all sorts of disasters. The
Atlanta journal, with its keen per
.ception, sees through the darkness
more clearly than the press in South
Carolina. 1t shows that the increase
in the number of operatives, looms
and spindles employed in cotton man
ufaeture during the past year was
greater in South Carolina than in
any other Southern state; that as
many new cotton factories were
