A few days ago, the Kansas City
papers were full of report (?) OF
an alleged meeting of disgruntled
Populists, who (the papers said)
met at Kansas City, Kas. The
meeting, according to the reports,
was a secret affair, attended by
many prominent Populists of the
state, among them Jerry Simpson,
Hon. John G.. Otis, representatives
of the Topeka Advocate and Kansas
Farmer, and so forth and 80 on.
The object of this alleged meeting
was said to be the formation of a
new Populst party, whose platform
would be shorn of all 4lsms" IN
fact, would contain but one plank
free coinage of silver. Resolutions
were printed in which Gov Level
ling and the whole state admlnistra-
ton were bitterly denounced The
report of this ''fake" meeting caused
no little comment, and an investiga-
ton ensued, when it was found that
no such meeting had been held, but
that Pete Kline and his gang of lot
terry swindlers and gamblers had
started the story to injure the state
officers because they are bearing
down too heavily for comfort upon
Kline and his gang.

PATRICIANISNI.

According to Republican teach
ing, the chief aim in life of the
American people is to loan and bor-
row money. Of course, the money
lenders must always be few in
number, and must be highly con
nected; or, in other words, must
form patrician class, the head OF
the family to be located in London.
Any legislation curtailing the power
of the money patricians is generally
condemned, and the advocates of
legislation friendly to the other, or
or plebeian, class, are generally
termed cranks, calamity howlers or
anarchists.
To-day, the money power is on
top, and means to stay there.
The plebeians be damned" is
the sentiment of nine-tenths of the
politicians and four-fifths of the
newspapers

The Populists are neither beaten
or discouraged Since reliable re-
turns are in, it is shown that the
Populists have made substantial
gains in Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky,
Virginia and Massachusetts, have
held their own in Nebraska, and no.
where have they lost except in Col
Orado and Kansas.
In Colorado, a scheme was put on
foot to Dust Senators Teller and
Wolcott, and many Populists voted
the Republican ticket on account of
those senators. As to the vote in
Kansas, we cannot find any one 60
ing back who really belonged to the
Peoples party. There were many
stay-at homes, who are firmly at
tached to Populist principles, but
were Indifferent to results in this
state in an "of' year" These voters
will be in line next year if the party
makes "a clean, straight fight but
it is Just as we'll to understand that
hereafter there must be no bargain
ing or fixing. Win or lose, our
battles must be fought on principle,
and by clean men,

Just how long the pebeians will
submit to robbery, oppression and
arrogance of the moneyed patricians
is a question, but of one thing be
sure the day of reckoning will
come, and when it does, patrician-
ism will die an ignoble death
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1893-11-30

THE PRINCIPLES underlying the
Populist movement are, undoubted-
ly, gaining ground. This is not so
much shown by the late vote as by
the writing and speaking of men
who are not identified. politically,
with the Populist movement. There
are forces at work in the churches,
institutions Of learning and in'lter-
airy circles tina. are silently, but
surely, working for new and better
day for working people, and, sooner
or later, these forces will tell upon
legislation. The only reason, now,
why this reform element has not
identified itself with the Popullsts
is because it is not made up of men
who are accustomed to take an act
i've part in politics, and because the
Populist party has been lied upon
until as a reform movement, it is
greatly misunderstood. Be sure Of
one thing, and that is, there is a
widespread rebellion against present
conditions, and it is growing every
day.

THE GOLDEN CALF.

1t is related in the Bible that,
while the Children of Israel were
encamped at the foot of Mt. Sinai,
and while their leader, Moses, was
up on the mount, receiving the Law,
they induced Aaron { another leader
to make them a golden calf. Moses,
not liking the golden-calf perform
ance, reduced the image to dust,
and cast the dust into brook.
During the rebellion, when Lin
coin was up in the Mount of Patriot
ism, fighting for liberty and union,
John Sherman, at the suggestion OF
some of that same old race of gold
en-calf worshippers, fashioned fl
nanciaI golden calf for the American
people, and now everybody is ex-
pected to dance and shout as did
the Children of Israeli over Sher-
mans golden calf Even Grover
Cleveland, with his ponderous
weight, and many of the Democratic
chiefs, including Dan Voorhees, and
Secretary Carlise, are dancing and
shouting at the top of their voices,
in the presence Of John Sherman
golden calf.
Let 'em dance and shout. The
Israel calf worshippers had a good
time while it lasted, but it didn t
last long; and John Sherman's fl
nancial calf will not last In fact,
we believe the Moses is now astir
who will reduce the calf to dust
and cast it to the four winds
The conspiracy of the lsraelites
to make a calf and return to Egypt
ian bondage was not more foolish
than to establish an American sys-
TEN of finance that will as surely
lead the American people into bond
acre as a return of the lsrat lites to
Egypt would have been return to
bondage.
A return to any old system means
a renewal of old conditions There
is no escape.

And now comes the grand old
party of moral ideas, the soldiers
friend (?) and prohibition, and elects
as governor of the great state OF
Iowa a man who would have dis
graced Tammany in the full tide OF
her political corruption. That was
a moral idea of the full dimensions
of half.grown flea that selected a
crooked pension attorney for candi-

A JUROR OBJECTS.
He Said the Other Jurors Had 1t All
Fixed Beforehand,

Fixed Beforehand.
James Pagan, who was sued by J. j.
Rauer, assignee. for street work done ad-
joining defendants property on Chapulte-
pee street, between Henrietta and Cort-
land avenue. astonished the Justices of the
Peace the other day by asking for jury
trial.
They told him he could have it II he
wanted it, and yesterday ten men sat in
Justice Willetrs court to hear the claims
and eornter-caims OF the parties.
1t was shown by the plaintiff that the
work had been done under a street contract,
which provided that il would be paid for
by Pagan, upon Superintendent Aekerson
accepting tie work.
The plaintiff showed that Ackerson had.
as matter OF fact, accepted the work as
satisfactory, but that Pagan refused to pay
the bill, which amounted to SIPS 80.
The jury returned a verdict against
Pagan for that amount. and just as Justice
Willett was about to discharge them, one
1nryman with fierce whIskers got up, and
said be objected" to the verdict and
wouldn't agree to it. He appeared quite
excited.
Justice Willett was in the act of dividing
twenty silver dollars into ten piles of two
each, preparatory to compensating the ten
good men and true for their trouble. He
paused and asked the recaleltrant Hiber-
nlan what the trouble was.
Eight of these nine men were against
me, said the obIeetOr; they wouldn't listen
TO reason. They had it all cut and dried

Justice Willett told the objeciing Jury
man that seven men would have been suf-
feient for the purpose of the verdict, and
eight was an abundance. IL not super

Then the silver cart-wheels were distfi-

COUGARS CAPTURE A DEER.
Three of the "Varmints" Succeed in
Killing a Fine Buck.
Roseburg Plaindealer.


John T. Elliott, who has recently returned
from a tour through the mineral belt Ia the
vicinity of Mount Strickle, relates a curious
incident concerning the manner In which
cougars capture their prey. Mr. Elliott, in
company with the Thomson brothers and
Lawrence Camille, was eneamped near the
head of Elk Greek. where they intended to
remain few days and trap bear.
After pitching their tent Elliot and one
of the Thomssons went out to kill deer for
camp-meat and bait. About mile from camp
they saw three feeding at the head OF a small
glade about quarter Of mile long and in
tn q center of which was large fir tree.
Thomason went around the hill to the head
of the glade, expecting to reach a belt of
scrub timber from which he could get a
shot at them. while Elliott proceeded to-
ward the fir tree, keeping 1t between him
and the animals. When about 200 yards
from the tree and 1000 from the deer he saw
a large ouRariapprOaching them from the
belt of scrub mentioned.
The cougar was evidently maneuvering
to drive them toward the fir tree, for be
made no effort to rush on them, but, keep
ing at distance from them, so directed his
course as 10 keep them constantly running
in that direction. just as they came under
the tree two other cougars, which had been
concealed in the branches, spTRng Ia front
OF the laTEest-a splendid buck-ons of
Ihem algHlln2 iltlle 10 tne 1eII anu the
other 10 the right of the animal, which was
thus inclosed In a Triangle and sesmed so
thoroughly be eSildered and frightened
that it was almost incapable of action,
and was quickly seized by all three cougars,
the one that approached from the rear spring.
ing on its launches and the other seiziug Il
simultaneously by the throat, 1t was in
stantiy overpowered. So intent were they
on capturing their prey that they never OBJ
served Elliot, who was standing on open
ground, within 200 yards OF them. and
brought their feast to an abrupt termina-
ton by shot from his Winchester, which
broke both shoulders of the largest, the ball
at that short range passing completely
through them.
The other two instantly broke and rush.
ing 10 the other end Of the glade passed
within easy range of Thomson. who shot
both within n few yards of each other.
Upon examining the deer it was found the
terocious animals had completely severed
its windplpe and jugular vein as II cut with
a knife, while its hind quarters, where tho
largest one sprung, were fearfully laeerated.
There can be no doubt but that the thres
acted in concert and with previous under
standing and a degree Of Intelligence far
superior to what their amiable countenances
would indicate them to possess.

Saturday is generally an off day in the

Early yesterday morning a number Of

work on the west and south walls of the
