CANvASSERs GET AN ORDER.
Must show Cause Why They Re-
fused to Count In Lewis.

MOUNT VERNON. N. Y. June 8.-An
order issued by Judge Gaynor. OF the
Supreme Court. requiring the Demo-
cratic members OF the Board Of Alder
men of this city to show cause why they
should not be punished for violation of
their duty as a Board of Canvassers,
was served on the Aldermen to-day.
The order was issued on the affidavit
of Mayor Edward F. Brush. whose term,
of office expired June Is. Owing to a
dispute over the counting Of votes for
Mayor at the recent election. Brush has
been compelled to hold over. He Is a
Republican.
At the recent election the rival cam
didates were Lewis Rep) and Fiske
(Dem.). Lewis was counted in by the
Republican Board by two votes. Fiske
claimed TO have been elected by 1--WE
majority. A few OF the ballots cast for
Fiske were thrown out on account of his
name being misspelled.
The matter was carried to the Su-
preme Court on mandamus proceedings,
but the Democratic members refused to
give a certificate OF election to Lewis.
The order issued by Judge Gaynor is
returnable in Brooklyn on Saturday
morning.

MONEY.

In this era of reform, money stands
at the head of all reforms because it is
the key to all. Our civilization is such
in its structure that nothing can be
accomplished without the free use of
money. Money may not be the greatest
Of mans needs but it is the only tool
he can employ to accomplished any
extended business. This being an ir-
REPUTABLE fact, it is all important for
the tool to be perfect and so adjusted
that it can be used to the best ad-
vantage, with the least possible fric,
ton or expense, says the Midland
Journal.
What is the proper function of
money! is the first inquiry to be
answered. This may be illustrated by
supposing a farmer has a thousand
bushels Of wheat in his grainaries. He
hasno personal use for more than a few
bushels of his wheat but the miller can
use the whole crop to manufacture into
-four. The first need of the farmer is
a wagon to convey the wheat to the
miller. Without the wagon the wheat
is almost useless. He would consume
a year in the attempt to pack the grain
on his back. Having the wagon he
transports the wheat to the mill, but
the miller being placed in possession of
the grain how is the farmer to be
recompensed for his labor9 He wants
in exchange for his wheat twenty or
more things indispensable to life in
our present civilized state. The miller
does not have those things the farmer
wants, and cannot supply him. To
meet this condition which has arisen
between the farmer and the miller,
governments have created a medium

JUDGE CoNNoR DECLINES.

We publish elsewhere Judge Con
nor's third letter to the public, In this
he positively refuses to serve the peo-
rple who have offered to honor him,
giving as a reason that he is unwilling
to jeopardize the success of his party.
Less than three weeks ago he stated,
in a letter to Chairman Butler, that he
was not opposed to a non partisan
judiciary and there were no business
or personal reasons that would prevent
his serving if elected. This was salts
factory to all who expected to vote for
him. The conventions of both the
Peoples party and Republican party
named Judge Conner as n of the
non partisan Judges to be elected to
the Supreme Court bench.
1t is supposed that the Democratic
politicians at once made an onslaught
on MI. Conner. Atfirst he refused to be
driven from his position. So firm was
he that the papers had about given
up the job. But there was a combined
rally and terrific beating of tom toms
and judge Conner retreated. Plutoc
racy won.
Judge Conner has been in a delicate
position all the while. But he was in
no way to blame, and had he refused
to be frightened by the beating of tom
toms, he would have assembled to one of
the highest positions of honor and trust
day he stands covering before his enc
mics, the Democratic politicians, and
no longer has the respect of his real
friends. The Democratic machine
loaths him and his friends will never
offer to honor him again. So much
for political cowardice.

be brought into view. Notlopg ago the
Democratic State Treasurer of Arkan-
sas walked off with the funds belonging
to the State. Democratic ba kors get
away with the money belonging to in
dividuals. Recently it was discovered
that out of 248 whiskey houses in Nor
folk, Va, only 179 were licensed. Dem
ocratic officials shut their eyes and
allowed the city and State treasury to
be cheated out of taxes. Ia the past
few weeks a gigantic Democratic
swindle has been unearthed in Mem
phis, Tenn. The State and city is
Democratic, or claims to be, and yet
these Democratic officials have cheated
the city and State out of more than
S., 600, 900 in the past few years. Dozens
of rascally transactions might be men
toned, all of which go to show that
the so called Democratic party has out
lived it's usefulness, both nationally
and locally.

ASK FOR IT.

Just before Congress adjourned Con-
gresham Bryan, of Nebraska, made
several attempts to get recognition
from the Speaker of the House for the
purpose of presenting a petition to the
House of Representatives from citizens
asking for an investigation Of certain
charges and the impeachment before
the bar of the Senate of Attorney-Gen-
eral Olney.
He finally presented the petition,
which he held in his hand, comprising
over ten thousand names from thirty
eight States of the Union. In present
ing this petition, to which so little at
tention was paid by the press Of the
country, Mr.. Bryan thus wrote on its
back:
Having no evidence before me by
which to judge of the charges made in
the petition, I express no opinion upon
the merits; but, believing in the sacred
ness of the right of petition as guaran
teed by the Constitution, I present the
petition to the House and ask its refer
ence to the proper committee"
1t, of course, went to the Judiciary
Committee, where it will remain until
next session.
In the meantime thousands of these
petitions are pouring in on Congress
men from various sections of the coun-
try, and will be continued for some
time. At tho proper time they will be
pushed.
The daily papers have paid very lit
tie attention-to the matter, in the hope
of burying it.
No Attorney General ever stood so
low in the estimation of the public as
Olney. He is the known representa-
tive of a great railroad corporation,
and every act of his shows his utter
disregard Of the welfare of the people.

THE ALLIANCE WORK.

The Alliance work should not be neg
Iected during the political excitement
The Alliance must be sustained as a
school house in which we study all
questions affecting our interests In a
non partisan way. There are still
many questions unsolved that will eft
feet the farmer in the future and the
Alliance is the place for all farmers to
meet and discuss them, says LtUtn9
Issues.
In this ann the truth can be
reached and in no other way. Men
must lay down this party spirit before
they are prepared to search calmly for
the truth.
The Alliance is a school in which the
Democratic farmer, the PopulIst farmer
and the Republican farmer meet to
discuss their common interests. When
they have found that, then it should
be their aim to secure it.
The Alliance will not have accom-
plished its purpose 80 long as there is
d "1OnA W 4AShuO VI w
So long as there are widows and
orphans who need the strong arm of a
friend the Alliance should live-must
live. The Order is not only a great
educator, but it should be made what
it's declaration of purposes indicate-a
brotherhood of man. Now, let every
man who has ever been a member of
the Order return to the fold and put
his shoulder to the wheel to build up
and strengthen it. 1t is the hope of
the country and without it the farmers
and producers are at the mercy of o r
ganized greed. Let organize be the
watchword in every county until every
farmer is in the Order. The bagging
trust, the sugar trust and the trust of
our representative in Congress should
be sufficient warning to the farmers to
organize.

DO WE NEED II?

Do we need a shoe factory in North
Carolina9 Yes, we do. Two hundred
and eighty-eight cases of shoes for
North Carolina left Boston the first
week in this month, and that was
not a good week for shoes, either.
These shoes were just replenishing
stock for only eight towns in the State.
Regular fall orders have not been
placed yet. Two hundred and eighty
eight cases, 80 pairs to the case, 1920
pairs. Surely we should make u own
shoes out of our own leather and keep
some of the money they cost us in cir
culation among I'll own people in our
own borders. Why not9

DEMOCRATIC DISHONESTY.

Some of u people imagine that all
our Southern States have been governed
honestly and impartially. Democrats
who cannot endorse the New England,
Sugar Trust, gold bug end of the party,
always fall back on our good State
government" to trump up a plea for
further existence. The truth is, the
Democratic party has had a clear swing
in the South too long. Corporation
money runs our legislatures, elects our
Congressman and Senators. The cleo
tions in the South have been dishonest
for years, and a party that gets into
power dishonesty will not give you an
honest administration of public affairs.
Numerous municipal scandals have
been unearthed, and others will soon
