The above card is clipped from the
Shosls News, and explains itself The
COURIER does not believe any action
has been taken by the Democratic
Committee in Dubois county AS vet
upon the question of what county
should have the Representative, but as
Dubois county will have senator in
the next Legislature, it seems il would
be good political sense to let Martin
have 1t this year under the:new appor-
tlonment, as she would certainly be
entitled to it had the old apportion-
ment been re-sdopted. Lawrence
county. also should have the other
Representative. Bot only by political
courtesy can any one county OF the
four IN the district be permitted 10
name the candidate. The Democrat
ic candidates 10 represent so large q
district and one in which there is no
great margin OF Democratic majority
10 spare. must tie capable men Of
large minds, good regulations, un-
doubted patriotic Democracy, un-
swerving and unpurchassble, who in
all their votes will regard principles
rather than men, or they might be de-
feate6 bv our willy and active oppo-
nents. Four years ago the district, as
now composed, gave less than two
hundred majority for the Democrats.
and but little ov.r that two years
ago. SO for both places the conven-
ton. when II assemblies. must select i.s
best and strongest men for candidates.
The COURIER does not wish to be
in this as saying anything
against Mr.. Mccormick -ss he may
be the best man TO make the race for
aught that we are informed of.

THE BEAR STORY.

The elections of the past few years remind us
of the story of Hoosier, in early days, who,
carrying Ratchet in his hand, was passing
through forest, and was attacked by bear
Now, instead of fighting it out on terra hr1na,
the Hoosier assembled tree, the bear following
close at his heels. Still failing to usehis hatch
ct, the Hoosier moved out from the trunk
of the boughs the bear following. Cornered
and desperate, the man severed the bough with
his Ratchet and fell to the earth, where he lay
bleeding and stunned becoming an easy prey
to the bear, who leisurely descended the trunk.
In the Populist party in this country, the la
boring people had fighting chance against
the money power, but seem to haveIdeliberately
rendered less their chances of maintaining plen-
ty and happiness in their struggle for bread.
If things go on as now, desperate expedient
may leave the laborer helpless in the clutches
of Plutocracy

THE DRIFT OF PLUTOCRACY.


The Arena is, we believe, the only magazine
that fully espouses the cause of the industrial
classes. Its boldness and ability are attracting
the attention of Plutocracy. Recently, the To-
peka Capital took occasion to fire one OF Its
characteristic broadsdes at the Arena, an ac-
count of which, though the Arena is not likely
to suffer at the hands of its friends. 1t must
not be understood that the Arena is the pollti-
cal organ of any party, but it simply advocates
the principles of justice and humanity IN the
broadest sense. That it should have excited
the ire of the Capital is only evidence that
such organs are the paid tools of the money
power, and that, in order to do the bidding OF
their master, every influence opposed to despot-
ism will be set upon and its destruction attempt
ed.
It will surprise our readers, perhaps, to know
that the article to which the Capital took such
strong exceptions was that in which the Arena
showed the growth and strength of our national
military and its menace to free people
1t is passing strange that any friend of the
human race can advocate standing armies, or
the employment of the military in governing a
free and intelligent people, since armies and
war are, and have been in all history, the great
est foes to civilization and human welfare. Un-
doubtedly, as the Arena points out, there IS a
sinister purpose on the part OF the authorities III
building strong citizen soldiery, and that pur-
pose seems to be to prepare to crush any effort
on the part of the masses to change the wrong
L. o,1
turing. The money power foresees, as we be-
lieve, that finally the condition of the masses
will be such that the conditions must be chang
ed, or there will be widespread discomfort and
domestic violence.
An army is not only convenient, but effect
i've, and. the cost of its maintenance will be
shared by the poor as we'll as the rich-the rich
always managing to shift the greater share OF
the burden.
Plutocracy having control of our government
in all its branches, will not permit change
without the employment Of every power known
to man, and, as the president and the United
States courts have lately demonstrated, there
will be no hesitancy in using either the civil or
military power, even in defiance of the consti-
tuition. 'a
The Arenas timely note of warning is in the
interests of. all laboring men, no matter what
their political utilization, and it is also in ac-
cord with the principles of christianity so it
would seem that, instead of adverse criticism,
it should meet with general appreciation
We may add that we are of the number who
he1;e,,e the. American republic can be governed
for all time without the aid of standing armies,
if, our laws were wisely framed and justly adj
,ninistered, and if'rahe time has or will come
that the civil power is inadequate for the
purposes of government the money power,
and, the money power aloue, will be to blame.
Plutocracy must be dethroned, but by all means,
let it be done at the ballot-box,

ANOTHER such al-round corruptionist never
wore presidential honors as is Grover Cleveland.
With his hangman and his army substitute,
and his Maria Halpin experience, Cleveland is
a man of wonderful and varied experiences, but
when the present congress is through with him,
and the next congress has given him two
years roasting, he will have an experience so
extended that he will be wise enough to go into
retirement.

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

There are many things that may be noted i'll
the political field that are encouraging, even to
a "calan,ty howler,' some of which, most
prominent, are the turning down OF the Tam
MANY ring in New York, and the general tend
encv in other cities to cleaning out of the
old and corrupt rings. While we are not of the
opinion that the city rings are the most prolific
Of. evil vet, the fact that the best men of all
parties have united against the local rings is
evidence that the better class of citizens are
awakening to the fact that partisanship cannot
longer dominate in political affairs without I'M
heard-of corruption; and that, if we we are to
have government of the people, by the peo-
pie, for the people, the better class of voters
must control the elections and, let it once be
known that rings and trusts control congress
and our legislatures, and such rings will have
to 90, as did the Tammany ring.
THE greater the hold Plutocracy gets on leg
islative bodies, the greater the number OF law
made crimes. Many things which are not in
Themselves crimes are made such by laws pass
ed by, or in the interest of, the few. But the
few never learn of many such laws, and that old
relic of feudal barbarism, Ignorance of the law
excuses no man." is used for the punishment,
by fine or imprisonment, or both, of those who
were not made aware that another nail had
been driven into the coffin Of liberty.

The Suspension Of Capt. Ciapp.

Local bicyclists are greatly interested n
the matter involving the suspension from
the race track OF Capt. E. E. Clapp OF the
Arlington wheelmen. as announced In q
dispatch from New York last week. The
dispatch only verified a rumor which has
been afioat several days. The action Of the
chairman of the racing board is criticised
by Capt Clapps friends here. who regard
IL as unjust TO the local rider because OF
the manner in which the suspension came
about The AFFAIR grows out Of an alleged
complaint made by Capt. Clapp against the
Washington Road Club when several menu
bers OF the latter organization participated
in the races at Norfolk on the 18th OF May.
1t was reported that the club had paid the
entrance fees for the members In violation
of the l. a. w. rules and Capt. .Clapp's re-
porting this matter for investigation. Il is
said got him in his present trouble, and
that his suspension followed without . full
and fair trial.

The Price of Cotton Seed.

Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi Rave
called a convention. to meet July IL, to de-
wise ways and means for selling this sea-

claim that the oil mills have made a COM
bine against them. and I'm consequence the
price OF the seed has ranged very low, In
spite of the fact that the supply has been
very short. The planters combined three
years ago against the mills and forced up
the price considerably, and will try TO -
50 again.
