DEBs IS SENTENCED TO JAIL,

And we are glad of it-not that we think ne
committed crime, for which he deserves pun
ishnent, foi he did nothing of the kind. On
the contrary, Debs acted the part of discreet
leader and wise counselor. He acted the part
of manly, patriotic citizen. But, we are glad
he is going to Jail for this reason: His is the
head of the American Railway Union. During
the recent great strike, this A. R. U. passed
resolutions to the effect that it would abandon
the old parties and throw its strength to the
Peoples party-fairly and squarely pledged its
support to the Populists; but, when election
day arrives, this organization violates its pledge
and gives its support to its worst enerny-the
Republican party. Soon after the election
Republican judge sentenced the president OF
the A. r. u. to Jail for six months for "being
responsible for the killing" of certain persons
during the strike. While we are sorry tor
Debs, personally, we are glad that the Repub-
rcan Judge has thus early shown the cloven
foot and glad the A. R. U. has been so suit
ably rewarded for its perfdy.

"rHEy THAT REJOICE SHALL WEEP. ;"

Wall streat says the Populist party is dead
so do all the Democratic, and Republican pa
pers and thereat there is great rejoicing. The
Republicans, even to the women, have never
been so happy in all their lives; and the post
master Democrats in Kansas wear the broadcast
of!grins One might think that most all Ke-
publicans had hoard of gold to loan that the
women had stock in national banks, and that
four-ffths of the farmers had stock in railroads,
and were benefited by high freight rates but If
one did think so, he would be wotully mistak-
en-. Self-interest cut no figure in the opposition
to the Peoples party.
The average Republican voter has forgotten,
if he ever knew, that there is such thing as
voting for national prosperity, and they are just
as blind as to the death of Populisin.
Populist principles will live until they triumph
or the republic dies. 1--WE are not prophet
enough to foresee the end, but if the things
succeed over which Republicans lately reJoiced,
there will be abundant weeping in the future.
OUR friends the enemy-our Republican
friends-have great deal to say about respect
for the law. Right here we would remind them
that to have respect for law, the law must be
respectable-must contain the element that will
command respect. No brave man can respect
law that wrests from him or his fellow man ev-
ery natural or vested right. These same stick
lers for respect for the law had scrupes thirty
five or forty years ago against boldly violating
law. That old law which contained all OF the
elements of despotism-that law which made
blood-hounds of freemen and felons OF them II
they refused to become blood-hounds-the fugi-
tive slave of IS5o-did not command the re-
spect of any self-respecting man. 1t did not
contain an element commanding respect, and it
got none. To-day, our statute-books contain
laws lust as infamous. They have all the des-
potic elements which that law contained. The
phraseology is different but the spirit is there.
No brave man can respect law which outrages
every sense of right. There is revolt against
these cruel laws now as there was against that
one of forty years ago. Then, the money
power, under the guise of human slavery, de-
manded obeisance and there was widespread
revolt. Now, the money power, stripped OF all
its DISCUSSES, demands obeisance, and again
there is revolt. The sequel will be repeat
ING of history, and we know what that is.

Does Woman Rule?

Cardinal Gibbons has seen fit to let the world
know what he thinks of the woman movement
The Cardinal says that woman is the power be-
hind the throne, and that as it is, she now rules
the world. The woman has not found it out
Why the necessity of the polygot petition, if
woman rules the world Does the ruler come
supplicating?
Woman bitterly realizes that she does not rule
the world, when her husband comes home
drunk, his manhood drowned in liquor sold
through the consent of those who do rule the
world when the mother sees her son sunk in
vice and shame through temptation that should
not be allowed to exist, she understands that
there is place where her influence does not
reach. Think you that woman would tolerate
legalized gambling and legalized prostitution
If woman ruled, would the double standard of
morals be allowed to exist Would that which
is black in the woman be shaded into gray in
man Woman's influence for good is oft-tines
great, but he has poor faith in the nobility of
womanhood who says that it is as great as it
would be if she had the power to demand those
things which she considers make for righteous
ness.
The womanhood of to-day is not what is was
yesterday-and may it be better and nobler to-
morrow than it is to-day Let the mothers, sis
fers, and daughters take their place as mans
equal in the word-1nake them independent
and give to them equal privileges and with the
newer and larger responsibilities of life, woman
will not only make herself more truly good
e1, oil he, ba
come more worthy of the name of man.

Grover stands on the burning deck.
Every Democrat has fled.
Now, Deinmies, come and view the wreck,
And gather up your dead.
Pray, Demmies dear, why did you die2
Was it tariff hot or tariff cold,
Or too tarnal much official pie,
That stretched you Denrnies stark and cold?
You served your master strong and well.
Grover of you cannot complain;
And when you him do meet in hell,
And together pillow the fiery main,
OF things OH earth you need not bother.
Just cultivate your crop of sin;
For Rep, your naughty bastard brother,
Will be coming, soon; then let him in.
Earth, rid Of both, will SOON rejoice.
Freedoms star will rise again,
With the peoples joyous, happy voice,
Singing lberty's glad refrain.

We fail to see how reform paper can run
whisky advertisements and still claim to be
reform paper. Last week, upon picking up the
Wellington Voice (Which is one of our favorite
exchanges), we were surprised and panied to
see two bold advertisements OF Kansas City
wholesale whisky houses. However, the Voice
is not the only Populist paper that carries whis-
XIV Northumberland of them do so.
few days ago, we received proposition from
wholesale whisky house, which proposition was
consigned to the flames, as will all others which
we may receive. The editor of this paper is
probably as much in need of money as any
other reformer, but the Kansas City whisky
dealers haven't money enough to buy one line
of advertising space in this paper. There is no
good in the liquor traffic. 1t is all bad. No
editor especially reform editor, can find any
plausible excuse for helping to perpetuate the
damnable traffic by giving it advertising space
Let us rather all unite in helping to abolish the
business. No permanent reform can be effected
so long as we have drunken lawmakers, drunk
en- voters and four million voting church MEM
beers who vote to perpetuate two old parties that
vie with each other in their efforts to hold the
liquor vote.

WE noticed all item in Mondays Topeka
State Journal to the effect that an effort will be
made by Populist leaders to have the Populist
members of the legislature make fight for
constitutional convention. We take the item
with liberal allowance of salt If any good
can come of constitutional convention, we
wish some one of those "leading Populists"
would tell us. This constitutional-c
nonsense is simply a scheme of the re-submis-
sionists, who are determined by some hook or
crook to get rid of our prohibitory law. Yes:
the constitutional convention is Republican
scheme, and is being worked by the 'way-up"
fellows in the party, who are afraid to openly
advocate re-submission, and the best thing the
Populists can do is to let the scheme severely
alone if they don't want to get their fingers
burnt
