They Seek to Tear Down and
Destroy the Best Interests
Of the City.
The People Must Arise as Common
Body and Protect Themselves from
the Destroying Hand.

The HERALD has ever been the cham
MON of Pullman and her institutions,
and now, when the fortunes OF this paper
are trembling in the balance, it proposes
to be true to the past, and il, perchance,
# should be the expiring warning, we
propose to give the alarm that may save
the town from disgrace and destruction.
Some twp thousand years ago, Cicero,
in the Roman forum, when denouncing
the conspirators OF Catiline, exclaimed:
oWho are these conspirators? They are
men broken in fortune, and are now seek
lug to replenish their empty Golfers by
the destruction of Roman institutions
andy the wrecking OF the fortunes ot
those swho have been more successful
than they"
conspiracy against Pullman and her
Institutions has been going on for some
time, and the same answer can be given
the question, "who are these conspir-
ators2" as was given by Cicero, merely
substituting Pullman for Rome.
The arch conspirator is a bird OF pass
age, hailing from the frozen fields OF Da-
kota where a grand jury made, it lor a
time, more tropical for him than his ma
ture could stand Notwithstanding that
his color would Indicate that his progen-
itors lived in tropical country, so he
emgrated to a climate not so changable,
and engaged in the business, first, OF sug-
costing means OF defrauding the state,
and OF bostering up his former record
with afiidavits and letters, and it was
while thus engaged that he became an
expert in securing atlidavits, but when
he found that a paper record was not
sufficient to satisfy the demands OF the
people OF Washington, he started to fol-
low the example OF his Roman precep'
tors, and sought to wreck the fortunes Ol
those who had been more successful by
destroying their homes, and to gratliy
the spite he has against the state, and
'"U VONl WHICH, HAS lOlG1dlCCl llls Iitc-
ence SO lar, he seeks to destroy the bus
mess and educational institutions Of the
city, and to be sure of success he gathers
around him others OF broken fortunes,
namely, the fallen idol OF the town who
once stood high in the councils OF the
city, in business, in society and i'll poll
tics, and who, in his palmy days, boasted
OF having a mind of his own and capable

seem to have left him since he betrayed
