Personal AND IMPERSONAL.

Mr. Gladstone has set at rest by
another denial the rumors OF hts inten-
ton TO visit this country. Several
years ago he declined an invitation to
come over, chiefly on the ground OF
his advanced age, and that is an objec-
ton that does not appear to have di-
minished IN the meantime.

not saved it is considerably prolonged.

POPULISM Is ANARCHY

The very foundation stone of this Peo-
pies party is Anarchism, says Sol. Mil
Ter in his Chief. Every man of such
tendencies belongs TO the party, and the
party panders to, seeks out, courts and
solicits the utilization of all that class of
people. Anarchism is the foe of law,
order and legal restraint. 1t disregards
the rights of property; it always destroys
and never builds up. 1t IS the enemy of
prosperity. Prosperity makes it envicus
and vindictive. Anarchism Is lazy and
shiftless, its religion being to prey upon
the savings of the industrious and Geo.
nomical. AnarchiSm advocates the
seizure and division of the wealth ac-
cumulated by people who labor and save
The whole effort of this Peoples party is
to pander to and secure the support of
Anarcnism and all that tends in that di-
rection.
We know men who belong to the Peo-
ple's party, who, by hard work, careful
management and close saving, have ac-
cumulated handsome property. They
are shrewd and prudent managers.
Their farms are in first class shape. They
ship cattle and hogs that bring the best
prices in the market. Their stock is of
the best, and their cribs are always full.
They are well fixed" aud have money
to loan. They did not accumulate this
property by sitting on goods boxes and
growing. What is there in the
party made up of such GROWERS tc at
tract these men: Do they not know
that if Anarchism once gets the upper
hand, their accumulations will go To
support the lazy loafers who do not
work, but spend their time cursing the
rich? Because these men have been
industrious and saving, it is sufficient
cause Cor the anarchists TO hate him,
and to charge them with amassing
wealth at the expense Of the poor.
When the time comes, if it ever comes,
when the lazy rabble prey upon the
industrious, the fact that 4 wealthy
man belonged TO the same political
party with the rabble, viii receive no
consideration whatever. The fact that
he has something will be the only thing
considered, and they will proceed TO
plumber him.

WHISPER IN POLITICS,

From one end of the country TO the
other, the politicians are whispering. 1t
is a mouth-to-ear congress from the
waves of the gentle Pacific to the rock
bound and stormy shores of Maine.
| 1t is the same quiet ominous whisper
every where. The station of the
whisperer has nothing to do with 1t.
The man who is running for road over
seer in Wahu township, near Podunk.
Indiana, observes the same tactics in
Selling an ear and pre-empting it as tie
congressman on the floor Of congress
does.
The strange part about this whisper
ing mania, which is coincident with a
political campaign in the United States,
is that nothing decisive or important is
ever said. The life of the nation or the
fate of a measure is never hung in
the balance by it.
But it has negative force. 1t is a
strong force. Its power for unnerving
and rafting the enemy is something
marvellous. The politician who meets
another on the street. takes him away
from the crowd, pulls him to one side
and pours smothered tale into bis ears,
has, l. he is a shrewd politician, par
alyZed the opposition.
He will not tell the man he has pulled
to one side, anything of value. He may
impart to him that his roam horse has
the pink eye or that his mother-in-law
has come to visit him, or any other bit
Of social gossip. But his opponent doesn't
know the nature of the conversation.
From the manner and subdued colloquy
which he can not distinctly hear. he is
convinced that his political chances are
being undermined, that His friends are
knitting him, that he is being deceived.
Something IS trauspiring which lie does
not know, and can not determine the
nature of. If there was not, then why
all this mysterious whispering: As he
can not fix upon the particular brand Of
treachery which is in operation against
him, he goes out on hunt for rumors.
These are easily found, and the physical
dissolution OF the candidate, if 1t is his
days only.
But if it is not his first campaign he is
all right. He does the whispering him
self, and lets the other fellow do the
worrying. He whispers 70 every body,
especially everybody in view of his oppo-
nents. The man who whispers the most
is pretty sure to be the candidate who
enters the convention with the most
confidence and the most votes.
When the women get into politics it
will probably all be changed. a woman
considers it in bad form to whisper in
company, and when the company is
composed of women it is exceedingly
dangerous. But now the whisper is on
the throne, mimic tyran. which turns
man against man and tipps over the
statue of the brotherhood Of man which
has been set up between campaigns.
