No Second Term.

The bill introduced into the lower
House of Congress on Saturday last lim'
iting the President to one term is move
in the right direction
We have only to review the history Of
the past ten years to see the evils that
follow all ambition for a second term.
Cleveland's first term was marked by a
subserviency to the South and trucking
TO some of the worst elements in the Dem
ocracy of the North. 1t was an Admins
tration planned on the lines to benefit
Cleveland first and the country afterward
Cleveland renominated Cleveland, but a
sighted country turned Cleveland down
The Administration of Benjamin Har-
rison, who followed Cleveland, was based
upon the same lines. Harrison also went
wooing in the South, and by skillfully
parceling out the offices secured solid
second term delegation from that section.
But the people had been watching Har-
rison's favoritism to Harrison. and his
second term aspirations received an EN-
phatic and an overwhelming rebuke,-

Abuse of i" Contempt. ="

Common justice demands that the plain
citizen should be no more liable for con-
tempt than the judge who passes the
sentence.
There is altogether too much buncombe
i'll courts of law, too much big-wig and
flowing gown business. The Legislature
should sit down on this abuse of dig
nifty" anb wipe it out. 1t has no place
in republican institutions
Court procedure to-day is largely relic
of monarchical traditions and swe1led-
headism comrnon-sense needs enter into
it with more emphasis, and Judges be
taught that they are appointed to do the
peoples wills and not to set themselves
up as the despotic rulers of the land
Ien1 Philada.
Every day sheds clearer light on the
dangers which threaten to finally over
throw the liberties of the people by en-
croachments of power from every quarter,
which is steadily slipping from the many
to the few, and calls for all law making
power to be placed i'll the hands of the
people by the referendum, or direct
legislation.

Single Tax in Cities.

1t would seem logical sequence that
the single tax mode of taxation would
take firm hold of the city people. The
land is owned by comparatively few per
sons while the great bulk of the trading
class own large stocks of merchandise,
household effects aud so on, all of which
would escape taxation, together with an
abatement of the onorous license taxes,
the entire municipal expenses being de-
rived from the rent of land. Yet with
numbers on the side of those who work
and pay the taxes, ten to one, they seem
to submit quietly to the few who live in
comparatively idleness receiving millions
from the toll of the industrious i'll the
form of ground rents. 1t seems strange,
from business view that this keen, wide
awake class are not to a man for the
single tax.

Cleveland the Friend of Royalty.

The many un-American acts of which
President Cleveland is guilty, and his
partially for England, are creating a
feeling among Americans that his
sympathies are altogether too British
The telegraphing of messages to London
before giving them to the public at
home, his Hawaiian policy which has
eliminated in a revolt in Hawaii, his
entire money policy, and his general for
eign policy all smack of favoritism to
Great Britain, the greatest national enemy
of the United States in all the world. 1t
will not be matter of surprise if he moves
to England with his millions, after his
term expires, to hobnob with Queen
Vick's nobility. His Irritation with the
dusky Lii of the Sandwich Islands man
Tested his inordinate love for royalty.

plaintiff. The Judgment of the Court is
that the defendant committed no theft,
that the goods were his after delivery and
his offer of legal tender money justifies
the defendants action, and the plaintiff
is mulct in cost"
This defendant next turns plaintiff,
charging thesmerchant with assault and
battery. The same evidence is presented
and the decision of the court is that the
merchant is again put in the costs and
fined for unjustifable assault. The law
is against the People on every point. The
law of Congress is all-powerful for money
making purposes, and as money is not
used for any honest purpose except as a
medium of exchange, it is not necessary
to be made of any valuable commodity.
There is no more use for gold coin or a
silver coin to carry on trade i'll this coun-
try than there is for gold wagon to
haul the farmers wheat to the mill. A
wooden wagon answers every purpose OF
a wagon. 1t transports the wheat. The
money transfers the value, whether metal
or paper, as thoroughly as the wagon
does the wheat Uncle Sam is the great
teanster of the United States. He has
gold wagons, silver wagons, and paper
wagons, and he hau1s, or transfers, a
hundred and twenty-five thousand mil
lion dollars worth of goods, more or less,
in the course of year, with his legal
tender wagons, and no complaints are
heard of the service except from certain
ring of hooked nosed gentlemen who
domicile in the Bank of England, roost
under the three balls and hover like vul-
lures about the chambers of commerce,
stock exchanges, etc The kind of mer-
chandise these worthless deal in is watered
stocks, options, futures, speculations, dis
counts and other similar goods. They
clamor loudly that their worthless wares
shall be transported in Uncle Sans gold
wagons, because they have intrinsic value,
and are standard" wagons, and the
People, their greatest enemy, joins in
their chorus i'll about as foggy piece of
logic as Wall street ever produced, to
prove these gold wagons are natural
wagons and that they measure" the
value of all the goods hauled in them
We could expose great deal more of
the Peoples money folly but have not
space. Its COW story is particularly rich
in contradictions.

KANSAS PHILOSOPHY.

The less man talks the more time he
has to think.
Abuse man unjustly, and you will
make friends for him.
No mans dearest friend talks about
him behind his back in a way that is en-
tirely satisfactory.
The many occupations that are opened
to woman will make it more difficult for
a worthless man to get wife.
The man who uses a falsehood for pol
icy, like the woman who powders, soon
gets into the habit of putting on too
much.
A man who never goes home except
when there is no other place to go to poses
as martyr when he happens to find his
wife out. -Atchison Globe.

Personally Conducted Tours via
Pennsylvania Railroad.

1t is at this season of the year
that peoples thoughts turn to some
method by which the rigors of our
northern winter climate may be
escaped, and trip to the Gland of
Flowers" if only for short time,
offers the easiest solution of the
question.
In order to give the public an
opportunity to visit Florida at a
very reasonable cost, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has
arranged for a series of tours to
Jacksonville, and the well earned
reputation acquired by that COM
pany for the superiority of it's per-
sonally conducted tours will be
maintained for this years series.
Since the system of personally con-
Quoted tours inaugurated by that
company has been in effect, none
but words of commentator have
been received. It's uneXcelled train
service, experienced tourist agents
and chaperons, and above all, it's
moderate charges, leave nothing to
be desired.
The tours to Jacksonville, allow
ing two weeks stay in Florida, will
leave New York and Philadelphia
on January %, February II and
26, and March II and 26, 1895.
The rate, including transportation,
meals en- route, and Pullman berth
on special train, is $1,000 from New
York, and $500 from Philadel-
phia; proportionate rates from other
points.
For further information apply to
ticket agents, or address tourist
agent, 1196 Broadway, New York,
or Room Ali, Broad Street station,

for space should also be made.
