Debbs was sentenced to six montus in
Jail for what is called contempt, by Judge
Woods, and all the corporation daily
papers applaud the sentence and init
mate it is too lenient. There is one kind
OF contempt that may be indulged in by
railroad employees and all who are held in
contempt by the class to which Judge
Woods belongs. That contempt is the
ballot they have the power to use. When
they begin to use that against the aristoc-
racy there will be heard such pleading
from them as was made by the boy whom
the farmer caught in his apple tree. 1t
will be remembered the fable runs that
farmer threw grass at the boy to frighten
HIM down, but the boy only laughed at
him. The farmer then determined to try
stones and the boys laugh was changed
to pleading for mercy and Fastening downA
When workmen of every class begin
using their ballots against the aristocracy
OF power and wealth they will get down
from their high perches in hurry. The
ballot is the easiest, surest and safest
remedy for every wrong complained of.
Why don't they use it?

Proportional Representation

Proportional representation is one of
the reforms being agitated to remedy the
majority rule which has permitted the
corruption to creep into our politics
which threatens the very existence of
popular government. Proportional rep
resentation is system of representation
that gives every division of voters amount
ing to defined proportion represen-
tative in the law making body. By our
present majority rule the minority,
though it may number almost as many
persons as the majority, is entirely de.
prived of representation and virtually dis
franchised. Majority rule has opened
the door to the worst practice of bribery
and ring rule, caucus rule and lobby
management, which cry loudly for reform
Had proportional representation been
III operation, the present congress would
have been divided among parties as fol-
flows: Republicans, I53 (now 1917; DEM
ocrats, I54 (now 2IS) Populists, 81 (now
II); Prohibitionists, s (now o..
The recently elected congress would
stand about as follws Republicans, I67,
(now probably 245); Democrats, I35, (now
probably 1901; Populists, "A, (now prob
ably II); Prohibition, s, (now o.. These
figures may be varied somewhat by the
official count but they serve to show the
great injustice worked by our present
unfair, tyranical majority rule, in addition
to the gross abuses to which it has opened
the door.
When it was known that every party
would receive its proportional and just
representation, voters would be punctual
i'll attending elections and better men
would be elected TO Office. The shysters
who get on the tickets of the strongest
party by trickery, bribery and all manner
of chicane, would i'll the main be defeated
by the best man on all opposition ticket
receiving the votes of the better class
while the shysters were eat. There is no
reform more needed than representation
reform TO cleanse our politics of its fester-
| ing corruptioa.

The Policy of Doing Nothing.

Chairman Babcock of the Repub-
lican party is reported saying: eli
we controlled both branches OF
congress at the present time there
might be some doubt as to our
ability to carry the country again
in two years, in as much as we
might make mistakes for which
the people might punish us at the
polls. F." This is about the sum and
substance of Reeds speech at the
Home Market Club soon after the
election. The leaders of the republi
can party are already beaten in their
own minds. They do not known
what to seem to try to do, and hope
to cajole the people by telling them
they have no power to do anything.
McKinleyism is played out, tariff
reform is played ont, Cleveland is
played out, and only universal dis
tress among the labor and business
class remains. Doing nothing for
two more years will embitter the
people more against the republican
party than it has against the demo-
crat party while the steady inten-
styling distress of the people re-
mains. Under these conditions
another Gland slide" two years
hence is inevitable.

Chinese Religion And Amerian
Politics.

There is quite a resemblance be-
tween them if one looks for it. The
Celestial has a jos god he worships.
The idol is set up in temple and
certain offerings are made to jos ac-
companied with mods and winks
and blinks and genefexious.
China man thinks it is jos business
to grant him certain good things
such as plenty of rice, good weather,
good thingsand good times generally.
! If jos neglects his business and
John doesn't receive these desirable
things he has requested jos to send,
he is enraged and forth with pro-
ceeds to punish jos. He wallops
jos, he beats jos and may be knocks
him off his stand. His jos is bad
jos and "me whippy him.
The Americans have two political
joses, a republican and a democrat
jos to whom they sacrifice; especial
ly do they pray for their jos to send
them "good times" Some of the
most devout worshipers come pretty
going into epyleptics in obeisance
to their jos. When jos disappoints
them in sending ''good tines" but
instead the sheriff, like the China
man they become enraged at their
jos whom they have set up with
great Inauguration ceremony, and
proceed to punish him. They nc
longer shout the praises of theil
favorite jos but are silent and
gloomy while the worshipers of the
other jos are shouting derision al
them; their jos is bad jos and q
lying jos, if they want good times
they must "whippy" jos, knock
him down, tumble him over and
make room for their jos who vii
visit them with great prosperity il
only he is given a "chance."
And thus those two ancient politi
cal jos congregations set up anG
pull down each others jos and
"whippy" jos for not giving then
good times. The China mans
religion and "Melican mans
politics are very much alike. They
are both 'Jos" superstitions which
keep their believers nose to tht
grind stone.

Idle Capital VS.. Idle Labor,

Last week a hundred and fifty millions
of idle capital appeared at the nations
capital city seeking employment and
$50, 600, 900 of it was employed at S per
cent. Last summer few hundred idle
laborers went to the same city to solicit
employment and were dubbed, fined and
put in jail.
The most remarkable feature of the
whole affair was that few weeks ago idle
labor thanked by an unparalleled major
ity one of the parties that dubbed, fined
and put it in Jail. This would seem
almost incredible, yet these three Incl
dents all happened in the same year and
within few months. If stranger were
to visit this country from Mars and heard
this curious incident related he would say
at once: "Your countrymen are FOOLS"
But he would be i'll error. They are only
Ignorant and will do better when taught.

AS prices fall the debts Of the people
rise. After paying interest and principal
three times the amount of the public debt
in 1866 we are in debt at present more
than thirty years ago, on account of the
quantity of produce it takes to buy dol
lar to pay on the debt. No debt of any
considerable size can ever be paid by
labor under present conditions. The
revenues of the government are falling
behind nine or ten millions month be-
cause the people cannot sell their produce
for anything like decent price. Taxes
and salaries are as high as ever.
The midland journal., 1894-12-21

Every prediction Populist writers
and speakers have made is daily
fulfilling. Money is rising in value
and prices are falling. 1t requires
much more of the products of labor
to purchase the same number of
dollars than five years ago. And
this state of affairs is not to the end
yet. Prices will fall still more if
congress persists in its course OF
contracting the money. The scarcer
is money the lower prices descend,
while debt is being piled on the
country by the sale of gold bonds.
The conditions which confrot the
people who earn their bread are
desperate but they must inevitably
grow worse. Mark this: Neither
Cleveland or the republican party
or both together possess the ability
or craftsmanship to better them.

She Brought Down the Game.

0HS DEOu&HL OOWH IHO OdTlG.
A demented colored man named
George Lees who resided near
Union Mills, and who was in the
habit of wandering about, strayed
onto the premises of Mr.. Thomas
M. Jackson near Theodore ON We'd
nesday morning of last week about
2 O'Clock, and was wandering about
the yard. The strangers appear
ance reused the dogs which set up
furious barking that walked up
Mrs. Jackson and her daughter
Clara, young lady of eighteen.
There was bright moonlight, and
looking out of the window they saw
man walking about the yard. Mr..
Jackson was not at home and the
ladies thought of tramps and
burglars. They, however, had suf-
ticient courage to hail the stranger
and ask him what he wanted to
which he made no reply. Another
summons failed to bring any reply
from the man. Then Miss Clara
brought the gun to bear and fired.
The next morning he was found
dead near the spot where he was
when fired at. 1t is said there were
no marks of shot on the dead man
and that he was frightened to
death.
The following account of the old
mans tragic death is from the
Wilmington Every Evening.
He wandered away from his home
on Tuesday. On Wednesday morn
ing he appeared at the farm house
of Kennard Shippers, near Bay
View, where he was given his
breakfast. He was seen within a
few yards of his home that evening
and again at midnight near the
place where he was found dead.
He was near the barn, and the
fence against which he was standing
when fired upon by Miss Jackson
was literally filled with shot.
Notwithstanding this there was
no evidence Of a gunshot wound on
his person. DR.. Brown, who made
the pOst-mortem examination at
the inquest, found that his right
arm had been badly cut with some
sharp instrument, and that his
skull was almost fractured by some
blunt instrument. On account of
his age this head wound would
have caused his death.
While at Farmer Simpers' his
arm was dressed. Leelived with his
aged sister, who, while acknowledge
ing to having inflicted the cash on
his arm, denies any knowledge of
the wound on the head, and it was
shown that he was not hurt on the
head when his arm was dressed by
Mr.. Shippers. From the position
of the wound ON his head it could
not have been inflicted by a fall,
and it must have been made by
some weapon in the hands of some
person unknown.
His funeral took place Sunday
afternoon from his cabin, near
Union Church, and was largely at
tended, mostly of white people of
the immediate vicinity with whom
he was a favorite. The interment
was in the old grave yard on the
place. Lee and his sister had lived
for more than half a century on
piece of ground consisting of 35
acres. They were a very eccentric
couple, and for more than 80 years
no light has been seen in their
house except that thrown out by
fire that burned in the fire place.
