These are some of the condi-
tons leading up to the political
revolution on the tapis.
Let us have a ringing report

United labor as opposed to
centralized and combined capital
is aroused all over the country.
The tocsin of war at the ballot
box has been sounded, from Cal
ifornia to Massachusetts,, and from
Texas to the British Possessions
line in the north. A union of
these forces with the Peoples
party means the beginning of the
end of the two old gold-bug,
English-truckling parties in this
country. They have both out
grown their usefulness. They
have been, years ago, weighed
in the balance and found want.
ing" but abject slavery to party
has so far kept the spoilsmen of
either party in the saddle. 1t is
a work of supererrogation to re-
count the positive wickedness of
these parties, so far as the COM
mon, plain people of this repub-
lie are concerned. The absolute
turning over Of our government,
shackled and handicapped by
the rascally demonstration of sill
yer in 1898 by a Republican
house, senate and executive, was
the coup de etat on the part of
the ,spoilsmen that has led up,
step by step, to the panic of 1898,
and the suffering and privation in
business and labor circles to-day.
Wheat has always followed
silver in price. In 1873, a dol
lar in silver was worth, in Gin
trinsic," or, rather, market,
value, $I.o3, while gold dollar
was only worth $500. Right
here, at the suggestion of an
English syndicate which had
$500, 900 in British sovereigns in
Washington to produce the re-
suit, the silver dollar dropped
from the mintage bill, and we
were on a gold basis. Now look
at the result: In 1870, wheat
commanded from $I.IO to $I.25I
in the market, even marking the
margin of silver premium over
gold. From the date of demon
citation in 1898, wheat has I'M
erringly followed the decline in
silver until a bushel of wheat in
Chicago will buy one ounce of
fine silver-5o cents per bushel.
Is it any wonder the agricul-
turist is in revolt? The only
trouble is, he let party shackles
trammel him too long. Action
should have been taken by the
Republican party when the in

But, what is the outlook for this
political army of Philistines
now? The outlook for them is
becoming more portentious every
hour of the twenty-four, and will
so continue until the ides of No
vember set in.
The revolt is not alone in
Kansas it is all over the land.
The blindest, and, may add,
the brainiest, partisans are de-
serting the sinking ship of the
old parties with the instinct of
their rodent brethren. 1t is well
known that when a rat deserts

The condition Of the National Tressu

The condition OF the National Treasury
is far from being satisfactory, there hav-
ing been further drop Of 500, 600 in
gold on January 81, making the. total loss
OF gold during the month foot up to $40,
600, 900 leaving the gold balance VIII
which to begin February but 500, 500, 900.
The official statement of receipts and ex
penditures for the first seven months Of
the current fiscal year show the former to
have amounted to SITS, 600, 900, while de-
spite the exercise of the most rigid econo
my and the postponement of all payments
that could possibly be STAYED off, the ex-
penditure reached 1921, 900, 900, the out
go being thus shown to be SAC. 900, 900
more than the income. Should this ratio
| be sustained for the balance OF the fiscal
year there will be deficit of $50, 900, 900,
the Treasury holding but $4l, 900. 600 oil

which was 1921, ZOO, 900. 1t Is not sur

anxious bench in respect Of financial mat
tiers, seeing that the condition of affairs il
so radically different to the aspect present
ed under Mr.. Cleveland's first term. Dc,
spite all u is the Democrats show nd
disposition to "hurry up to the rescue o.

though noisily proclaiming the necessity
for sustaining the public credit, are, nat

| Mr.. EDITOR: The question Of having

the city has at present, agitates many OF
our firemen aud others at the present
time. There are many Of our citizens

was located on Coryell street, and the

fire alarm used then, but as our city in
creased 10 size, other Are companies were
organized

purchased an alarm bell some % years

nized by the other fire compsnies as the
city fire bell. But during the past %
years our city has grown considerably,
especially nortbward. and the fremen
living In tkat section complain Of not be-
ing able to hear the alarm bell, and much
valuable time is lest In not getting
promptly to fires.

chase the Hook & Ladder Co.'s bell and
erect bell-tower on the city lot, on York
