One of Our Greatest Dangers

OMAHA, Neb., Sept, 27.-About
eight months ago the Evening News
was started by a number of prominent
labor unlOniStS in the interests of
populiSm. The paper was run on the
cooperative plan and has made re-
markable progress. Today the an
nOuncement was made that the Repub-
lican state central committee had
leased the plant for period of three
months in the interests of Major, the
Republican nominee for governor.
This has caused considerable surprise
in laboring circles and number of
members and originators of the
Schem call it an act of treachery on
the part of their colleagues. The
Young Mems Journal has also been
purchased by the same committee.
Both will appear tomorrow for the
first time under the new manage
ment. The News will be issued daily,
and the Journal under the name of
the Nebraska Republic, will come out
weekly.
We are fighting the combined
wealth Of the country: and one of the
sorest problems we have to encounter
is how to prevent our organs going in
to the hands of the enemy.
We have long believed that Congress
should print a great newspaper, con-
tanning an abridgment of all the de.
bates in both bodies, and send copies
Of it free to every person who would
ask for it. Each political party should
have an editor connected with it, to
edit its side of the argument. and
thus the people would be kept fully
informed.
The law should also be 50 amended
that any person could send through
the mails, free, any printed matter
discussing political or public affairs
with enough advertising to pay the
expense of printing it and no more
and all charges for postage on newspa.
pars should be removed. The enlight
enment of the voters, on public af
fairs, should be the first duty of gov
ernment, for on that the safety of oul
institutions rests: and we cannot pay
too high price for the life of the Re
public, l. d.

Diversity Your Industry.

Special to the Dispatch.
Red Wing, Mimi, Oct. 2.-The
Goodhuc creamery has gone into the
hands of a receiver. Farmers in the
vicinity will tain heavy losses.
We believe in diversification of in
dustry; it is right and wise. But we
do not believe, when a farmer is rob-
bed of the profits on his wheat rails
ing, that it is quite the thing for the
robbers to tell him to raise some thing
else. Just las soon as that other in
dustry becomes extensive enough to
justify it the thieves will fasten
is Unsuitable and endless. In Europe
it pursues the peasant. into his win
dowless mud hovel and strips him Of
his clothes and his dinner. The right
rule is variation of that of Donny-
brook Fair-"Whenever you see a
thief's head hit itn' And hit it SO
hard that the ubiquitous cuss will not
crop up somewhere else. To abandon
the wheat crop to him simply en-.
courages him to follow you up. Men
who will not defend their own rights
do not deserve to have any. If Mime
sofa had stood by U.S. twenty-five years
ago, when we began the great fight
for their protection, they would not
have been reduced to the terrible con-
dition they are in today. But the
rascals who fooled them then are try
ing to fool them again, and thus keep
up the robberies for another twenty
five rs;-aDd they May succeed. The
fools are not all dead yet. l. D.

Another Donkey BrayS,

Donnelly's latest is to advise his
Populist friends to surrender all Of
fees except the legislative and make
bold stand to elect only representa-
tives and senators, and thus throw to
the rabble (the Democrats and the Re-
publicans) the loaveS and fishes, the
flesh pots, the pclf and the dough.
The old man is the candidate for the
United States senate and has the
audacity to ask the boys to go in and
make a canvass for two or three offices
that do not pay anything and thus
sacrifice, for his benefit all chances of
getting few good county Offices for
themselves. 1t looks like a very sell
fish Quest.-Waterville Advance.
Oh thou fool! Donnelly is the least
part of this business. Even if the
Populists carry the Legislature there
is no certainty that he would be their
choice for the United States Senator.
But some Populist would probably be
elected, and would sit in the Senate
forsiX years, to fight the peoples bat
tie against the hosts of Plutocracy.
And then think of all the laws the
people demand of the Legislature;-
all the fundamental reforms. And
think of the horrible conditions which
now surround the people, only to be
ameliorated by the law-making power,
state and national! And beside these
great issues what are the county Of
fees of Lie Sueur county? They are of
about as much consequence as the
fleas on the dogs of Waterville; or the
microbes on the hide of the editor of
the Waterville Advance.
But it has been this very ''nesh-pot,
loaves-and-tishes'' policy that has cor
rupted the two old parties and ruined
the people. Oh blind leader of the
blind, go hang thysclf, and let the de-
lighted people thank God. Id.

thieves are robbing me on the high
way and lot of men rush to my res
cue, am not going to stop to ask
them their opinions on religion or
science. 1t is sufficient for me to
know that they want to help me to
crack the skulls of the thieves.
This country is now being plundered
to death by horde of robbers, who
have possession of Congress, the state
legislatures, the executive chambers
and the courts. We have got to have
relief or die. In such an emergency
every man who is willing to help us is
our friend.
But, says one,-"Would you yield
up our glorious principles?" Not a
bit of it; not the smallest iota. But,
says another, "you will turn the Popu-
lists into Democrats" There is not
the slightest probability Of that.
Ours is the advancing party, growing
with tremendous rapidity, marching
forward with the swinging tread of
assured victory. The Democrats are
becoming Populists. Look at the Ne
braska Democrats, the Georgia Demo
Gratis, the Alabama Democrats, Sena-
tor Trumbull. of Illinois and all the
rest. The same process is going on
that took place when the old Whig
party dissolved and it's followers be-
came Republicans. The Democracy is
doomed. Open wide the doors to let
in their surging masses;-build
bridges for them to cross, and cover
those bridges with flowers. The men
who cooperate half way with the
Populists this year will be, in all prob
ability, full-blooded Peoples Party
men, in 1896.
Use the same good sense brethr en-,
and the same adaptation of means to
ends, in your efforts for the reform of
political grievances that you would
use in your private affairs. Don't be
scared by the Glamors of your
enemies; and don't do that which
they urge you to do. I'D,

The Same Disease Everywhere.

The Omaha, Nebraska, Daily News
said, the other day:
with five lawyers on the state cen
tral Populist committee we have no
doubt but that the campaign funds
will be handled judiciously.'
Oh, brother lawyers, you are a good
set of fellows, we all admire you, we
love you; but, for the Lords sake. give
the people rest; and let them try to
reform the abuses, men of your kidney
have brought upon this country dur
ing the past fifty years. You are
smart, we admlt:-smarter than
chain lightning and stronger than
forty rod whiskey-but we implore
you to take back seat in the syna-
gogue, until somebody commits a
crime and needs you to override the
laws of your country.
You are kind of necessary evil

pick out the best of you for judges

full to you; but the Republic is we'll
nigh ruined; and lawyer-made decis-
ions and lawyer-made laws have done
the business for us. We are trying
to straighten things out. And SO
please keep little in the background
for while. When we need you we
will call upon you. In the mean time
learn to realize that liberty is more
than law; principle bigger thing

Powers and Prosperity.

Labor Commissioner, Rev. Powers,
holding office under Gov. Nelson, is
trying hard to prove that the farmers
of Minnesota are not in debt, and that
the workmen of the cities are the
most prosperous set of jubliant and
jovial cusses in the world. 1t is some
thing like trying to convince a fellow
who has not had anything to eat for
forty eight hours that his stomach is
actually uncomfortable with fulineSs.
The logic may be superb-but lit is a
condition and not theory that con
fronts him. as Cleveland says.

HOW THE WORLD MOVES,
The Democratic Organ Preaching
POpulist Doctrines.

The St. Pa ul Globe is the a BILE advo-
cate and organ of the Democratic
party; but the great revolution has
caught it in it's tidal wave, and we
find it, in it's issue of Oct. 7th, putting
forth the following populistic and
radical sentiments. We quote them
not only to show the progression of
public thought, but because they con-
stitute good reading anyhow.

plain protection, as we have it today
in this country. He said it was fixed

Really, when the chief Democratic
organ Of the state talks that way the
Democratic voters can afford to vote
the Peoples Party ticket;-for those
are Peoples Party sentiments;-
abundance of money, state ownership
of railroads, defence of the homes of
the people against the aggressions of
capitalists, and all the rest. None of
these ideas are advocated by Demo-
cratic speakers. I. D.

says:

of him, unless the old parties do some
thing in the next few weeks to put it
behind.

1t is not that the railroads draw
dividends on watered stock so much
that Injuries, but that they are con-
tinually bribing all public officials and
vitiating the principle of free gov

where one of the parties owns the
courts and legislatures, and every
man who reads the daily press can see
the red-handed corporations in every
statute and almost every court decis-
ion. The cZar could not do more.
