be confined to the capitol. The whole
country will take part in the cere-
monies and it will all eliminate in
political landslide in the elections, in
1894, such as this country never wit
messed before. The President seems
to be master of the situation at pres
emit, but there is a storm rising which
even his iron will Tor mulish stub
bornness) cannot allay. The follow
| ing clipping, from the leading demo-
cratic paper of the Pacific coast, is a
political straw which shows which
way popular sentiment is drifting:
President Cleveland had not been
week in his regained presidential
chair ere he began to puzzle the coun-
try. Now he has succeeded in alarm
ing and incensing it, or rather that
best portion of it which believes in
republican fsrm of government-the
rule of law. He is no longer the man
who earned the admiration and con-
fdence of the people by the sturdy
democracy of his first term. Such dis
closures of his purposes and OF his
conception of the scope of his official
powers as he has vouchsafed since he
re-entered the white house six months

l. The maintenance of protective
tariff
?. The maintenance of the single
gold standard.
8. The perpetuation of the spoils
system as exemplified by the use of
patronage to bribe or coerce congress
men into obedience to the executive.
4. Capitalization Of power in the
hands of the President to an extent
that no other chief magistrate has
dared to attempt.
The first duty of this democratic
congress- duty that it should attend
to before it passes a financial, tariff
or any other BILLS to bring Grover
Cleveland to his senses. He was
elected TO be President of this repub-
lie, not its dictator.-San Francisco
! Examiner.
It seems that the more autocratic
government becomes, the farther its
rulers drift from the people, and the
more danger OF assassination. The
czar of Russia is in constant fear of
being killed and the utmost precau-
ton is taken to guard his every move
ment. But we do not remember that
any other President of the United
States ever thought it was necessary
to carry around a bodyguard to pro-
tect mis- life before the present incum
bent of the white house. Such. how
ever, seems to be the fact, judging
from the following dispatch:
CHICAGO Nov. IA special from
Washington declares Cleveland never
goes out without bodyguard. The
name of the man is given as Samuel
Brick, a man of powerful physique
and determined mein- He carries re-
voIvers in his hip pocke6| and is
mounted on feet horse. He never al
lows the President out of his sight
when, out of doors.
Since Maria Halpin has been gra-
. cious enough to let Grover live, we see
no reason why we should want to re-
move him. and hence are perfectly
willing that he shall keep his body
guard. "The wicked fee when nc
man pursues." No doubt but that
Cleveland realizes that he got rich
altogether too quick, and that some
crank might make that an excuse to
render himself immortal. and there
fore feels the need of protec
{ ton; but the whole thing is a
:. joke on the republic, especially
' when such men as Cleveland helped
make the republic what it is. Nc
Presidents life was ever endangered
until monopoly got footho1d in this
l country, and it seems that the genus
''crank'' is one of the appendages3 of {
robber system, whether practiced il
the name of a republic or an empire.
d The Pittsburg Kansan, one of th'
leading populist papers of the state
S recently gave facts and figures to show
e that it is only matter OF time wheI
the small farmer must go. It say
that the small shops and factories ar,
being wiped out, and that the small
farms in the west are being succeeded
;. by the bonanza farm. Bro. Buchanan
5. points out that wheat can be raiseI
profitably at 10 cents bushel and othe
cereals in proportion on bonanz;
l. farms, and that in South Dakota steam

)" proved machinery has made it possibl,
to work 60, 900 acre farm at less cos
than sixty small farms of 80 or 10
4 acres each. Foreign visitors to tina
ID section were informed that machiner1
70 was now in process of construction
y that would reduce the price of whea
production to 12 centsa bushel! Tn
y. Kansan- strikes the keynote when
,; declares that the farmer, the las
Il remnant of a middle class, will b
IL eliminated from American society, an,
that to prevent the permanent division
re of our citizenship into masters am
e. servants the only remedy applicab1
is public ownership of-an natura
er and artificial means of production an,
