American tourists were on the S4a OF

"What does this move of Butler S

said: 40 give any promise OF success

"It is too late to change the result

Vanderbilt Scandal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-A Paris spe-
cial to The World says: For month
past very definitely stated reports have
been current among American friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. William *. Wander
bilt in London and Paris that formal
negotiations were in progress between
them for judicial separation. Faillng
that, it has Deen said there was a proOa-
| bility of a suit for divorce on the part
of Mrs. Vanderbilt. There is no doubt
that Mrs. Vanderbilt has consulted
friends as to the advisability of insti.
tuting such proceedings. The name of
Nelly NeIstretter, very we'll known

Dutch birth is mentioned in this connec-
ton, with what authority is not know
She has recently established herself IN
| expensive apartments at the Cafe Mad
rid, Paris, and at Daauvilie, with an
elaborate edtourage of servants.
The domestic ditli ;ulties between
| Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt rea:hed al
most a climax last spring, when the
party on the splendid yatch Valiant
| broke up in the Mediterranean under
circumstances which at once widely
separated all its members. Mrs. Wand
erbilt went to E1gland, where Scott
Murray'S beautiful estate, DAnesliald
near Henley, on the Thames, had been
rented for her. Mr.. Vanderbilt re-
NAMED 10 Paris for the lirst months OF
summer, but has recently been at
Deauvllle, returning to Paris last Fri
day. In June last Cornelius Wander
bilt came to London to interpose his
strenuous Offices to stop further, and
especially public, proceedings, but was
unsuccessful in restoring peace, ana
returned home.
Mrs. Vanderbilt committed her in
tarests to Colonel William Jay of New
York, who, with Mrs. Jay, has been at
Danesfeld until last week. He is now
at Hamburg, Mrs. Vanderbilt also be
ing in Germany. Colonel Jay IS to be
in Paris on Sept. 10 as the guest OF
James Gordon Bennett. A formal
proposition has been made by Mrs
Vanderbilt for separation on terms
of al annual allowance Of 100000, the
custody of her children and the posses
sion of the three houses at Newport
Islip and in New York. A gentleman
| in position TO De cOSnlZ anI Ol dill Cle

posed no objection to separation, but
| offered much less favorable terms than
those asked by Mrs Vanderbilt. His
proffer has been refused by her. and
| further definite discussion awaits the
arrival in Paris of Colonel Jay. Mr
Vanderbilt was seen at the hotel Con-
tinental, but declined to discuss the
later further than to say that no
proceedings in divorce had been taken
| by him.

Senator Butler Not Alone.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Judge lZlar
is going to make the race for election
to Congress from the 7sh district. His
determination in that di ection was
liked some time ago, and within the
past few days he has received substan-
tial endorsements from the best Ple'
ments of the Democratic party IN that
district. He will not go into the Reform
primary trap which would be sure pol
itical death but he will stand out in
the open field when the general
election takes place and contest
every iroh Of ground with the Re,
form candidate whoever he may be.
Judge IZlar will leave Washington to-
morrow after the final adj )urnment OF
Congress, and he will take charge OF hls
own campaign and conduct It on the
most vigorous plan. 1t would be futile
for him to subject himself and frlenaS
to the cut and dried process WHICH WIN
prevail at the reform primary, ana
his enemies had hoped that he Would
surrender without struggle. he IS
not made of that kind of stuff. He has
won the admiration and the esteem CT
the genuine Democrats in both houses
of Congress during his brief s0journ IN
Washington, and they will watch his
campaign with the keenest interest.
He is confident of the support aud en-
couragement OF the true Democracy IN
the 7th district, and he is prepared
to abide by their decision at the general
election.-NeWs and Courier.

Revenge!

BY nominating the old state ticket,
the Populists have given the Bepub-
licanS an opportunity to be reyenged
by defeating the officials whose NAL
administration has brought the state
into Observation-Disclosures Sentinel.
Revenge" is the word that exactly
represents the object of the Republi-
can leaders. But the g. 0. p. was
afraid to nominate its old heroes Of
the state house war. Revenge is a
foolish word in any sense. To decide
upon public questions should hardly
mean revenge.
The Peoples party demands GER
tain unmistakable reforms, and if
possible will convince the people of
the justice and need of the same. But
as for revenge there is no such word
in the language of POpuliSm. We ask
for our rights, and wish to accord
Others theirs. Even a thief has some
rights which we should respect, and
to reform him would be better than
to strangle him. If we are fools, teach
us. Don't try to convince us by abuse
and threats Of revenge. By the way
you boys have not been in Kansas
long enough to know what you are
talking about, anyway.

The People's Press.

For the first time since the inven
ton of type, we have press fear
lessly run in the interest Of the PEG
pie, regardless Of the scOwlS ant
threats of the sOullesS tyrdDts who
are scheming to rob the toilerS Of
their homes.
Farmers and wageworkerS, that
press has no milliOnaireS to back it,
The bankers, the railroad magnateS,
the great manufacturers, the bond
holders, the great mortgage COM
panjes of the east, with their octopus
arms stretching into every city and
township in this broad land-all of
these are arrayed against it. And
why? For the very reason that it is
your friend: for the very reason that
it advocates treasury nOteS-green-
backs-instead of bonds: and a Suffi-
cient quantity OF greenbackS that
labor may be employed at remuner-
alive wages; sufficient amount Of
greenbacks to enable the farmer to
realize enough for his crops to render
it possible for him to pay his mort
gage. These and kindred reasons
furnish an explanation as to why the
money power is arrayed against the
POpuliSt press.
The peOOle's press will make you
free if yOn will only support it. Will
you do it? Very few people know
anything about the struggle the peO-
pies press has already gone through.
l well know that what little has
leaked out is unimpOrtant compared
with the life and death struggle that
is going on behind the scenes. /
know enough of it to cause me to en-
terrain the deepest respect for the
true knights of the POpuliSt press.
Had they not been true as steel it
would have been dead long ago. But
it lives; thank God, it lives
Women of America, your childrens
future hopes and rights rests upon
the success of the peoples press. You
know the great power of your infu-
ence better than my pen can describe
it. 1t has been truly said that 1.-THE
hand that rocks the cradle rules the
world" You are capable of great
achievements. 1t was Joan Of Arc
that raised the siege of Orleans. 1t
was MOllie Pitcher whose deeds Of
valer fired the American patriots at
Monmouth. And while God forbid
that an American should ask lady
to lmperll her life, as did those hero
ines of old, l do beg Of you to use your
influence in spreading the truth by
striving to obtain subscribers for the
POpulist papers.
And, men, to you, in closing, let
me say, when your subscription runs
out, don't put it off one day. Send in
your cash to your PopuliSt paper and
try hard to get your neighbOrs to sub
scribe. If we all do this, liberty will
live. p. r.

Anarchy.

( The editor OF the Caldwell Ne,cS,
taking his cue from the Kansas City
Star. tears his hair and fumes and
squirms and wiggles and sQueaks out
anarchy and cowardice and murder
and hatred, socialism and daggerS and
aSsassinS and disorder and revolution
airy pandemOnium. He says the dan
ger to society lies chiefly in the init
alive steps OF socialism. That may
be so-but socialism and anarchy have
nothing in common. They are the
extremes of radical departure from
capitalism. Anarchy believes in no
law at all. But on the other hand
the socialist wants a stronger govern
ment than we now have.
"The assassin with his dripping
dagger is the conclusion Of the social
iStic teachings proclaimed from a
thousand platforms and heralded
through multiplying press"
On the contrary the assassin is only
a symptom Of the disease engendered
by mOnarchial and capitalistic oppres-
sion. And since there are very few
actual socialists in this country, we
presume the NelCS refers to the PeO-
pies party and its papers as creating
aSSasSins. The labOrerS and enforced
trampS of the country are striving to
secure a fair portion of the produce of
the world which has been mOnOpOlized
by usurers and manipulatOrs. And
the capitalistiC system of government
is what creates the anarchist. The
peoples party believes in eliminating
anarchy by removing the cauSe-and
though every consequence in the
world were beheaded, the cause, if
not removed, would continue to grow
anarchy. As an individual the an
archist must be suppresSed-and at
the same time we must organize
against the cause. Thirty years re-
publican party ring monopoly of law
making in partnership with money
monopoly is the cause of trouble in
the United States. Laborers have a
vote, and they must see that the hOd-
carriers vote counts as much as the
idler's vote. This is the
only hope of a peaceable settlement.
In the vote is an equal right that
must be enforced-elSe we shall have
a test of equality on a physical basis.
LabOrers must learn to vote together
then see that their votes are
counted.

Stand up for Principle.

Now the republican party will feel
too utterly too too iubilant on account
of the straight democratic ticket
and they will jeer and boot at the
populiSts. But we are glad to see this
thing fairly tested. We want as
many democrats and as many repub-
licans as we can get-but we do not
wish to see Democrats forced to vote
our ticket. The men who vote the
Peoples ticket this year will do so
through free and intelligent choice.
And democrats who still have faith
in maintaining their organization
will vote like men their principles.
