erous men as heroes; we have paid no
heed to the golden rule in our political
actions, but have been eager to be
charmed by the silvery jingle Of words
issuing from the lips Of our heroes who
have acquired the skill Of holding US
spel-bound, Rs the snake does the bird,
only to destroy us.
Oh, nay brother, there ahould be pur-
ity in politiCsl The golden rule should
govern our political action and consti-
tute the helm Of national legislation It
is for you, my brother, and for me to
bring about such condition of things.
It is our duty as men to do it, and we
can accomplish it il we work in unison
to that end. Perhaps our greatest mis-
sion in life is to serve God by serving
our felIowmen, by adding to their hap
piness, not only by helping the poor fell
low who has fallen among thieves to
rise, and by ministering to his wants,
but by using our influence and power to
protect our weaker brother against the
enCroschments Of 8vsrice and greed.
Such effort is at least our bounden duty
and to-day calls for our united efforts
along that line
At this time We are forced to witness
the humilAting spectacle Of our beloved
liberty fallen among thieves, and now
looking to us with all the pathetic
agony Of expression Of q human being
bruised and bleeding at the hands Of
rufisns, praying that we may come to
her relief. Shall we be human and re.
spond to her entreatyG or shall we, with
cold indifference, turn our faces away
and pass by on the other sideP This is
q question for each Of US to answer for
ourselves, my brother. / know from OK
perience how hard it is to turn ones
back on the political party that he has
called his party all his life; but I also
know how delightful is the approval Of
conscience when one does turn away
from a corrupt party and throw his in
fuenCe on the side Of right, truth and
justice. Come out, then, my brother,
from the thrslldom that now environs
you and declare yourself once more
free man; but when you have taken this
step it will be of no avail unless you
guard your freedom in the future more
carefully than you have In the past. We
hope not to attain perfection in govern
mental and social relations, for that
goal is infinitely in advance of rs; but
we can proceed along the line toward
that end, and by every effort expended
in that direction, we shall add to the
sum Of human happiness and make the
world better for our living In it. Let
each Of us say Of our political action,
that for my part there shall be purity in
politics and the good resulting from
such action will far surpass the bright
est pictures Of our fondest dreams.

parties have established headquarters
and are to-day preparing millions Of
campaign documents to be sent out dur
ing this campaign.
1t is the opinion of the shrewdest poll
ticians at Washington, that il the PeO-
ple's party takes advantage Of the blum
ders and infsmy OF the present admins
trRtion there viii be no trouble in
electing Populist members enough to
hold the balance OF power in the next
congress. It is also admitted by the
closest observers among both the demo-
cratic and republican politicians that the
next election Of president will DO thrown
in the house, which will give the Popu.
lists the power to dictate who shall be
the next president Of the United StRtes3
The election in the state OF Oregon
comes of in June, and in Alabama in
August. We are almost absolutely sure
to carry Alabama, and we stand an even
chance with either Of the old parties in
Oregon. To help to carry Oregon and
Alabama is to help put life and enthu.
siasm in our party in every state in the
Union.
The Peoples party is composed Of the
great common people Of the country who
are poor and honest. 1t has no million,
aires, bank or railroad corporations upon
which to call for campaign funds.
The national committee has estsb-
lished headquarters at Washington
where it can procure an unlimited
amount OF campaign literature Rt a
small cost. One thousand dollars used
in our party will do as much work Rs
100000 in either Of the old parties.
After carefully considering the above
facts and the bright prospects for our
party in the coming campaign, we feel il
our imperative duty to appeal to oul
people everywhere to come to the aid o.
the national committee in doing this
great work. In the last election oul
party polled more than a million votes
for president.
We now earnestly appeal to 1000 Of
that number to give US $5 each, 10000
to give US 81 each, 10000, so cents each,
10000, 25 cents each, and the remainder
of the 100000 to give us 10 cents and 5
cents each. We also earnestly appeal to
all Peoples party clubs, legions, and
leagues to raise what funds they can FOR
the committee, by taking up collections,
giving entertainments, etc. We make
this request because we believe 1t our
duty to do 30. II our party ever Rttsins
success, each member Of the party must
contribute to the success not only with
his ballot, but with whatever means he
can spare. To respond promptly and
literally means success that will bless
the nation for all time to come.
All contributions should be sent 20 M.

be permitted 1 will suggest few ideas
which occur to me along this line. l do
not think political organization should
endure when it becomes so stepped in
iniquity that it's every utterance is
wholly unreliable, and this, I think, is
true of both of the old parties Of to-day.
For instance, the republican party, in its
platform Of 1888, published the follow
ing plank regarding silver:
The republican party is in favor Of the
use of both gold and silver as money, and
condemns the policy Of the democratic sd-
ministration in it's efforts 30 demonetize
silver.
In it's platform of 1892, the democratic
party published silver plank quite sim
liar to the above. Now, these planks
were both inserted in their respective
platforms merely as yote-Catohers to
mislssd the people until after the cleo
tion, when the officers whom the people
elect on the strength Of these promises
inform them In tie one instance that
that party was favorable to law pro-
viding for the purchase Of a certain
amount Of silver monthly which should
be paid for in silver certificates. It was
a bad law, as the people believed, and
as those who enacted it knew. A law so
wicked that even it's father, three years
after it's enactment by his actions, de-
olsred it vicious, dangerous, and deserv-
ing unconditional repeal. In the other
instance the president tells the people
that they wholly misunderstood the sill
YER plank Of the platform on which he
was elected; that instead Of meaning
what they thought it meant, its true
meaning was exactly the reverse. It
meant that the last vsstige Of law pro-
viding for the coinage of silver should
be repealed.
II seems to me that the time has come
for speaking plainly Of such deception,
even though the language may not be
complimentary to men in high authority.
When, Rs is shown in the cases men
toned, the leading spirits Of these or
ganizations have studied and praoticed
the art of ambiguity until no man can
tell with any certainty what their utter
Rnoes mean, it seen to me high time to
retire that class Of political jugglers
and put men at the head OF affairs who
are at least less skilled in the losthsoms
art of lying. When such perfection in
deceiving the people as the above has
been attained, some Of us are ready to
declare that lying is no longer the resort
merely Of the poor wretch who seeks in
this way to cover up his individual
wrong deeds, but that it has attained
the dignity Of q science through the ef-
forts of the so-called great men Of the
United States.
Can we hope for any good 80 long as
We applaud such wickednessP The dis
grace is national, but it attaches espe-
cislly to individuals who, by their sup
port continue it. 1t should cause every
respectable man who holds to either Of
these political parties to blush with
shame that he is connected with an or
ganization so rotten, 80 lost to decency,
so wholly given to fraud, lying and
treRchery.

Every Town Has Them.

The Syracuse Courier has classified new type of disagreeable people whom it calls "Hulzmuks." It says they be- little the efforts of the generous and public spirited by their cantankerous criticisms. They find fault where no fault exists. They suspect other peo- pie of ulterior motives, of esoteric pur- poses, when their liberality exceeds that by which they themselves have been able to gain little praise. They are, in some instances, led around by the nose by brainier men, who use them as tongs to null chestnuts out of the fire. They do more to enbarrass progress and the development of pro- gressive spirit than @ swarm of seven- teen-year locusts.

end-and that end is death. Drowned in that millrace of impurity lies for ever the virginity of innocence, the maidenhood of the mind; and there is no spell by w.ich either can be restored. When the secret of Vir- gilius Is discovered and the old can be made young again, then will that sweet innocence which premature initi- ation takes from our girls be restored; then and not till then. Meanwhile the. revolted daughters, encouraged by, those who should lead them aright, spurn all advice, and fling off all re- straints, ignorant of their loss in re- fnement as well ss in essential purity. As for rehnement-the stories that prop about society, now of the "souls" and now of the heroines"-the astound- ing things they say and the inconceiv- able thing they do-show us that this is fast becoming one of the lost arts of life. When vulgar slang and common oaths can be put into the mouths Of actresses on the stage, we have not far to go to find their prototypes In the drawing-room.
 The apotheosis of Self has reached its culminating point in politics. For. fear of the adverse vote the advocates of violence and spoliation are left free to terrify the tinnid with hostile dem onstrations and truculent threats-the friends of dynamiters, and those dyna- miters themselves, are given 0 rope so long that it will never be sufficiently shortened for their necks--and the whole rebble-rout of anarchists, trait Iors and revolutionists are interfered with no more than if they were nest of chattering megpies swaying in the topmost branches of an old oak tree. Save for Lord Roseberry's comparative frnness when at the foreign office mark, only comparative!-the Glad stonian ministry will stand out in hiss tory as the most unpartriotic we have ever had. The country has been sold not to 8 foreign power, but to the forces of disorder and the avant-garde of anarchy. There has been no re- spect for private property or national honor. True freedom, either in debate or in liberty of contract, has been ignored by the party calling itself par excellence liberal. and we have to go back two hundred years and more to match the insclent interference with the freedom of dis cussion and the best traditions of par liamentary dignity with which the Gladstonians have conducted public business. They call their mean and servile followers who have voted as they were bidden, albeit against their convictions, and who have crouched like dogs beneath the whip of the Irish party, they call these men who have made one wonder if they had drop of

Is the chief Item. We have the shamelesspess of the New Hedonism preaching the right o3 the individual to the free5t possible exercise of all his passions, all his inatlncts, all his senses-thab New Hedonism which oopdefnns the exolusiy ness of marriage as sip against tho generosity of tho social instinct. We have the. hideous self1shhess Of "strilzers" to whom the ruin of innocent men and women in allied trades, the irretrievable damage done to the comrnereial prosperity of the country by the diversion of capital and the closing of avenues, as well as the tyranny exercised over non- unionists count as absolutely nothing . compared with their own individual desires. We have the disintegretors of the empire and the traitors to the na- tional flag, whom @ stronger gener- ation would have arraigend for high treason. And in all this we see only the presage of disaster and, as was said, the activities of decay not the orderly energies of growth. But it is the New Apotheosis; and until this bastard effulgence has burnt itself out, we must submit to the eclipse of the suns purer gilt. F. LYNN LINTON.

A Pjariar;stic Boy.

One of the boys of Capitol hill fam lily, who attends summer school. had been instructed by his teacher to write an essay. A rather abstruse sub iect had been given him, and he had been referred to the dictionary. His elder brother, who was also giving suggestions, had promised if the com position was good he would write it on the typewriter. The little fellow went to the dictionary and found the word he was looking for, and under it quotation that just suited the sub ject. He considered life little too short, though, to copy the quotation, so he hunted up his mothers shears and, in a way that argues great deal in favor of his future journalistic abil- ity, clipped through the big, handsome : dictionary, and clipped wherever 3 word or phrase suited his fancy. His brother, who rewrote the composition, discovered the plagiarism and informed the father, and the boy now takes his meals from the Washington Post

which only devils would rob her, that purity in ignorance has come to be Q broken idol. Open the hood-gates of moral filth to the young girl, hitherto guarded from dehlement. Let her mind attune itself to those key-notes of impurity which the modern woman writes for the enlightenment of the modern girl-let her dabble in the ob-- scene wreckage which our young men elaborate out of the depths of their own diseased imaginations. Let the grand distinction between the shell tered maiden and the wastrel of the streets be broken down and under the delusive plea of the protective power of knowledge" let the 1ady-girl learn betimes all that the gutter-bred has mastered from the beginning. In the apotheosis of immortality now fashion able, this mental deforation has its own place of honor; and the premature initiation is one of the rays of the in- fernal aureole about the head of the modern woman.
 Yet where does the balance of prac- tical immortality lie?-with the con- bClOuS, lISo, duO "doe1OA OA with the sheltered and ignorant lady girl? Ask a schoolmistress what Is the effect of theoretically knowing" girl on the minds of the ignorant-one mechanically instructed in certain things whom among us now say all the unmarried should understand. Her answer ought to settle that question; for there is not capable and under standing woman in all England who has to deal with girls, who does not know the infinite evil of this theoreti- cal initiation. Instead of protection it is indictment, filling the mind with thoughts and speculations destructive of all that 1t is desirable to preserve.
 To those who still respect the purity of the young, and who think that the somewhat desolating knowledge of life as it is should come by degrees and ac- Icording to responsibility and require ment, these theories of premature theo- retical initiation-this advocacy of un- limited freedom in latch keys and music halls-the right of translating the New Hodonism into action-the right of sharing in the pursuits, the professions, the whole life of man, so that nothing shall be lawful to the one which is forbidden to the other-this demoralizing doctrine, which yet moth- CTS themselves have not been ashamed to reach, is simply the beginning of the

meetings with prominent orators to make addresses. There will be con tingent from out of town, too, and the occasion will in all probability bring together quite a delegation of labor leaders.
 'The whole country is making the same preparations" remarked Samuel Gompers when questioned on the sub feet. "I cannot remember time in the history of Labor day when it aroused more enthusiasm. This is due to the unusual prominence of the labor question this year, but the complaint may still be made that the day is not adequately honored. However, there will come change in that, I do not doubt"
 Quite number of banners and inc signia have been ordered, some by out of town labor unions. It is understood that Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is considering the possibility of accepting an invitation to address the grand mass meeting and that James R Sover- eign and Eugene V. Debs will also sneak
