their families, and how happy they must
be to know that Wall streets dear wish
WIS grstifedI
The republicans while in power ma
tionally enacted the Sherman law which
res ulted so dissstrously and came 90
near preCipitating this great nation on
the rocks Of destruction, but for the
timely appearance Of Grover on the
scene OF actiOn who submitted the ques-
ton to Wall street (his dictators) and
was instructed to Immediately convene
congress in extra session and demand Of
them the immediate repeal Of the pur-
chasing clause Of the. Sherman law, after
which confidence would prevail over our
land and the people be lifted from an
impending mire. Well, that ounce Of
brain ct Washington we call president
did their bidding to a finish, notwith-
standing the millions OF protests from
the labor and wealth producing class OF
the west. Their protests were sCOrned
and rldiculsd and amounted 10 nsught
in the eyes Of the president and his fol-
lowers. The good times that were TO
come by the repeal Of this law are still
coming, but they are not coming tho
farmers way. But Wall streets appetite
IL sppeased, and 30 the president draws
Q long breath of relief and leans back in
his chair, BlRckens the reins Of govern
ment and once more the confidence Of
Wall street is sustained in him. II 5O,-
600 petitions from the laborers Of the
west be sent the president, deaf ear Is
turned to every one Of them; but let one
Wall street money broker pull the string
that ia tied to Clevelsnd's nose, and he ia
up in q moment ready to convene con-
gresS or open the gates Of the treasury,
issue bonds or anything that the dear
people (Wsll street, want. While the
people who foot the bill are rudely
pushed aside and any protest from them

What Ia the next scene in Cleveland's
side showP Congress is in session and
the senator's and representatives are
fresh from the people. Something must
be stirred up like the Hawaiian muddle
or the old bone Of cOntention-the tariff
to divert the minds of senators and
representatives from the living issues Of
the day for fear something will bs done
for the relief Of the people. They now
say the finance question is settled, now
give 1t time. For the Lords sake how
much time does 1t take9 That time
will never come as long as our finances
are muddled up In the interest Of the
money lords, As they now are. Men
must be men, not mummies, and think
for themselves and vote for themselves.
Drop ell prejudice and think Of them
selves only as American citizens with the
best interests Of their country at heart,
end not 90 democrats, or republicans, or
Populistg, or any other pRrtyites. Too
many men blindly follow their party,
never stopping to think or read any
other way only as their party masters
dictate. Men must learn to vote for men
who are not bound liver and soul to the
money power Of this and foreign coun-
tries. o. A. HAAS.

may assist in the fullest possible man
ner. Having enfranChisod our entire
adult population there should next be
provided the most efficient means Of
securing political reforms There ia no
need Of further demonstration that our
representative legislative bodies are
practically useless az instruments for the
accomplishment Of reform work. LeGis-
lstive power should be taken from rep.
sentative bodies and be given directly
to the people as the second step In the
great work Of reform.
With universal suffrage and direct leg
islation secured to the people, the work
of reconstructing society in the interest
of an advanced civilization may be be-
gun.
The money question, the transporta-
tion question and the land question may
now bs considered singly or collectively.
Probably q single proposition fSvoring
che ownership Of all public utilities by
the people and their use solely for pub
lie benefit would cover the ground here.
They are ell public utilities and should
be owned and operated by the people.
The labor question viii now demand
consideration. Labor must be guar
snteed employment with q wage mea-
sured by the power Of production.
Last will come that unique question
which worries politicians and vexes plat
form makers, the relation Of society to
the liquor traffic. The liquor question
is not properly an economic question,
but it ia 30 closely related to economic
questions that it too must be solved. II
is perilous to ignore it. It Csn0ot long
be ignored. It is political wisdom to
grspple with it at once. To hesitate is
to yield an advantage hard to regain.
The Peoples party need not hope to
avoid this issue. It need not think to
postpone it till other questions are
settled. The liquor question is to-day
knocking as loudly as any other at the
door Of the national conscience. It is
wisdom for Populists to let it in and
range it with the others in the party
platform. II the Peoples party would
satisfy all demands for organized politi-
cal action, Rs it should, no question will
be ignored which is deemed Of import
snce by o considerable portion Of our
people.
The platform Of the Peoples party
would, then, as q conclusion Of the fore
going discussion, contain:
First-A plank proposing universal
suffrage without distinction Of sex.
Second-A plank proposing direct leg
islRtion.
Third-A plank proposing public
ownership and operation Of public utili-
ties, such 90 q money system, trans
portstion system, and land.
Fourth-A plank proposing to guar
antee to labor employment and wage
measured by the power Of production.
Fifth-A plank proposing TO abolish
the liquor traffic by supplying at cost the
legitimate demand for liquors through
state agencies.
In Kansas the existing laws need be
disturbed only to remove the element Of
profit from all sales, unless there should
later be q demand for an enlarged use Of

Judge Miller Saws He Sold Out the Whole

Judge Miller, of the police court. being in a
reminiscent mood the other day. related a
good story about an old colored man who ap-
peared in his court as a prosecuting witness
in a case where the proprietor of a grocery
store bar was charged with selling liquor on
Sunday. Two policemen met the old fellow
and suggested that he play ''spotter'' for
them, and try to make a case Of Sunday SELL
ing against the groceryman. The aged negro
assented. and the officers gave him 25 cents
with which to purchase the stuff He en-
tered the side door of the store, while the
policemen watched him from behind neigh
boring tree boxes.
Presently the old man came out and he
had half pint flask filled with whisky. the
bottle was handed to the officers after the
''spotter" had taken a nip out of it. The old
fellow was summoned or the spot to appear
In the police court as a witness against the

JOHN LERCH'S DOMESTIC WOE.
lie Lays 1t Bare in His Answer 10 His
Wife's Application for a

As Congressman Holman is called Father
of the House" John J. b. Lerch may be
called father of the local post-offfce force
Whether he will ever see the inside of his
promised new home on Pennsylvania avenue
is another story.
He was appointed upon recommendation of
President Lincoln thirty-one years ago and
has been in the service since with the excep-
ton OF two years. That was in 1888, and his
discharge then was the beginning OF troubles
in which the filing of his answer to divorce
suit Saturday was the latest incident
His wife, Lena, who keeps fancy store,
fine needlework, &C., at No. GOA Thirteenth
street northwest, sued him last month. 1t
was not the first time. She sued him first in
1890. She charged then that he had been
cruel to her and had failed to support her and
their two children Elsie and Louis. He had
left her and gone to New York. and she was
obliged to take position with Oppenheimer
Co. This suit was promptly dismissed by
Judge Cox.
Lerch had gone to New York at his Wife's
solicitation when dismissed from the post
office. They hoped he might then get work.
When he came back she was living with her
brother and he was refused home there He
went to his son at No. 1885, Sixth street
northwest, where he has since lived.
She now charges that he beat her while liv-
ing at No. 296 East Capitol street, and again
at No. 1872 Sixth street northwest. This last
time she had taken some tickets to sell for the
German Orphan Asylum, and had turned
over 500 TO him which he was unable to nav
when she asked for it. Instead, she saws. he
struck her. At various times too, she alleges
he SHE'D at her cups. saucers, knives. and
ether articles of table use; also he has not
contributed to her support. They were mar
ried in 1880 by the Rev. Mr. Ebbinghaus. of
the Lutheran Church.
The last statement is about the only one in
her petition that Mr.. Lerch in his answer ad-
mits. He says that he has alwa VS. been a
good husband and has all along wanted his
wife to return to him. Ever since she left
him he has supplied the children with money
to the amount of nearly 500 in the past four
years.
AS to the German Orphan Asylum tickets.
he sold them, and when she called for the
money and he had it not, she went into hys-
terics and fell on the floor. He borrowed the
money the next day and gave it to her to paw
into the asylum.
Mrs. Lereh was Miss Lena Lepper. a clerk
in Lerch's store, at No. I'D Seventh street.
when she married him. He sent money for
her parents to come over from Germany. he
says, and did all he could for her and them
but when he got out of work she tired of him.
She likes to go to places OF amusement and
thinks him too old for company.

Some time ago proposals were invited for
the construction of ten of these carriages. and
