TEN Scandinavian papers in Minnesota
which have been carrying the Republican tick
ct put up the Populst ticket this week.
CHARLEY CURTIS is charged with making an
unlawful use of his franking privilege. Cholly
is probably ignorant of the law, and should,
therefore, be forgiven.
THE chairman of the Republican state cen
trail committee of Colorado has just left his party
and joined the Populist party. He says the
Republican party is gold-standard parry
ANDERSON county is entitled to farmer in
the next legislature and D. w. Ramsay is the
man. 1t is farmer or a door-sinashing attor-
ney, and the choice ought not to be difficult.
THE latest falsehood is that Populists are not
in favor of free silver, I6 to l. This lie has
not even the shadow of foundation, since ev-
cry Popnlst platform declares for it, and every
Populist in congress voted for it.
THE treatment of the ilnbeciles in the Win
field asylum is not new. If there is anything
wrong, Republicans set the example; and SINH
lar treatment on females was practiced in the
asylum for the insane at Topeka.
A SCHOOL HOUSE campaign of unusual
warmth will Immediately inaugurated in Ander-
son county. Let all the friends turn out to
them, if only to cheer the speakers with their
presence-and be sure to invite your political
opponents.
IT has been asserted that Mr.. Brinckley is too
old man for county superintendent. Mr.,
Brinckley will be able to dissipate such wrong
impression in thirty-day campaign. Turn out
and hear him speak, and be convinced not only
of his fitness for superintendent but also of the
righteousness of Populist principles
DR. PILCHERs treatment of imbecles under
his charge is sanctioned by the Kansas Medical
Journal, and by medical men generally, The
question raised by Republican politicians is not
a political question, but since it, has been
brought into prominence by Republicans, and
since there are two sides, the one being in favor
of cure for a dreadful habit, and the other
side to leave the habit to work out ruin and
death; and, since Republicans are opposed to a
cure, we are therefore forced to the conclusion
that the Doodle gang are in favor of the habit.

In all respects it was

tribute to General Grant. In all respects it was
a most excellent address,
Governor Lewelling followed Mr. Harris. He
was suffering greatly from hoarseness, and was
compelled to speak briefly but what he said
was right to the point, and his home thrusts
caught the enemy in the short ribs. 1t was a
telling speech, even though it was short.
After the Governor had finished speaking,
Mrs. Lease again arose, and delivered stirring
appeal to the voters in favor of the pending suf-
frage amendment. 1t was an appeal from the
heart-a heart full of love for the homes-for
the mothers, especially, who are ey ected to
rear up the children of the nation to love their
country and their flag She insisted that only
free mothers can rear nation Of good, free men.
This closed the red-letter day for Populism in
Franklin county-a day not soon to be forgotten.

THE Republican meeting near Colony was
not success in point of numbers, for we are
credibly informed that there were just 4o3 per-
SONS present, by actual count-babies included.
B. F. Dawes, candidate for Attorney general,
was the speaker From reports, Mr.. Dawes is
complete master of Billingsgate, since his har-
range consisted largely of abuse of the Populist
party. No living issue was touched upon in a
manner to indicate that the speaker had any
idea that there were issues of grave Importance
1t would seem that Mr.. Dawes had even sunk
below the level of tariff idiocy, and yet he is
the men sent out to win back to the Republican
wolf-fold the departing Republicans and old SOL
diers who are looking forward to reform of our
goAernment If Dawes is fair representative
of his party, no decent self-respecting voter can
afford to boost this party into Office and power.

Never before have the children of Wash
irgton taken hold of charitable movement
as they have this year OF The Evening
Star Santa Claus Club. 1t can be conf
IDENTIFY asserted that there is no charitable
agency so effective as this, which has oQer-
ated from year to year until it works like
a huge machine. Not cent is spent for
administration. There are no salaries, no
expenses, nothing but the desire to relieve
every possible case of real need that cal
be brought to light Realizing these things
the grown folks have taken such an inter-
est in the fund and the club as never be-
fore has been manifested. The clerks In
the city post-otflce started a praiseworthy
movement by organizing branch of The
Star Santa Claus Club among themselves
and contributing a good many dollars TO
tho bank account of charity. May not this
example be emulated by the employees
Of other departments Of the government?
The active agents of the club in the find
ing of worthy cases are-first, the school
children. then their teachers. then the prin-
cipals of the buildings and finally the
supervising principals of the school divis-
ions. Great care Is shown in the sitting

and scanning of the cases reported Only
the most worthy are selected for. relief,
and then they are given, not money-which
might be wasted in useless objects-but
groceries, coal. wood, shoes, clothing in
some cases. rents are paid. A great burden
Is thus lifted from the poor Of the city.
They are tided over period of distress at
the time when they should be most happy.
Let the fund grow into thousands of dol
lars! Let every parent encourage his child
to work for the sake of charity, for 1t will
be wholesome, lifelong lesson! Let every
business man give each little, in the
knowledge that poverty is a blight on the
prosperity of :he community!

There wers about forty-nine men en-
ployed the city post-oifice building to-
day. 1t used to be believed that forty-nine
expert workers in iron and stone and brick
and wood could complete the structure by
January %, 1898, but the bottom dropped
out of that calculation long ago; if they
got through by December 81, 1920, they
would be doing all that could be expected
of them. In spite of the fact that the
work has been going on now for two years.

An organization known to- the local
sporting element and to the police as the
Washington Athletic Club is in part re-
sponsible for an exhibition last night of
what is termed "sparring'' by some and
'prizefighting'' by those who speak the
blunt truth. But the Washington Athletic
Club is not wholly responsible for the
brutal exhibition given last night; a large
proportion of the burden is upon the
shoulders of the police authorities. To be
sure, police lieutenant did interfere just
at the moment when the last fight was
about to close, but he erred in postponing
his interference for long a time. The
laws opportunity was at the outset; as
soon as the referee and the ring and the
first pair of pugili3ts made 1t evident that
fight was to take place. OF course 1t
may be that the police have an impression
that they cah interfere only at certain
times or under certain conditions; If that
impression prevails the police are In error;
If the impression does not prevail then
they are lacking in that fidelity to duty
which is necessary to the makeup of a
trustworthy official Presenting that nom
interference is the result of ignorance.
The Star calls the attention of the police
department to the following copy of an
order in the enforcement of which all good
citizens are interested:
Office of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia,
Washington, November Is, 1882.
Ordered:
That the Major and superintendent of
metropolitan Police ID. c. shall prevent
exhibitions which tend to brutality, or
assume III any degree the character of
prize fight, or where money is wagered
upon the result.
