AImost a Murder Near MRnEini's s"-
loon on Pond street.
Pale and emaciated from the loss of blood
Joseph V. Errico, an Italian shoemaker,
lies on a little cot separated by a screen
from his workshop on the ground fl DOR of
the big building at the corner of Kings
bury and North Elm streets. Errico's
apartments are entered from the North
Elm street side of the building. A re-
porter discovered q bloody trail on East
Main street and found no difficulty in
following the blood-stained footprints to
the shoemaker's door.
ErTico told a story in substance as fol-
lows: He is 80 years old and unmarried.
Last night he called at the saloon of Joseph
Mang:ni on Pond street where there was
congregated large number of his
countrymen. About IL o'clock couple of
them began to make trouble and Errico and
the rest of the party endeavored to make
peace. In company with another man
Errico left the saloon and both stopped to
talk on the sidewalk. when the two dispu-
tants appeared. Ernco's companion left
him and there he found himself alone with
the two men who had been fighting in the
saloon. Some unpleasant words passed
between him and one ofthe men and from
what the reporter could learn the two men
third man who stood near by stepped up
behind Errico and stabbed him. The
knife or stiletto cut a hole through the tail
of the mans coat and entered his hip.

streamed. saturatlng his clothing and
leaving visible signs along the street of the

where the deed WAS committed to his home.
Errico does not know who his assailant
was but said that Detective Fiori had tue

1t is surprising that the man did aot die
from loss of blood. for he said he had nc

A Democratic silver Declaration.

WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-Routine mat
tiers ON the floor of the house were over
Swallowed in interest by the initiation of a
brisk movement to secure a majority OF
the Democratic membership in favor of a
financial policy having the free coinage Of
silver for its keynote For some time there
has been n discussion carried on by the
free silver leaders u the party over the
practicability Of a plan to unite their forces
and to crystalline their ideas into some
sort Of platform or declaration.
Tho net result has boon the draft Of q
declaration addressed ITO the Democrats
Of the United States and outlining
financial policy for the Democratic party.
This paper has been circulated on the
Democratic side Of the house and is being
vigorously discussed with the object OF
obtaining the consensus of opinion of sill
YER Democrats upon its expressions
The chief instigators Of the movement
are Messrs. Bland Of Missouri, Bryan Of
Nebraska, Sibley Of Pennsylvania and
Coffeen of Wyoming. Their paper is at
present but a tentative expression. they
say, and not yet in form for publication,
since none of its details have been def
nitely agrced upon. In substance it states
the financial policy of the party to be for
the free coinage of gold and silver and an
equality on . ratio OF 10 to /, for the issue
Of AL papa" money by the government

a FEW weeks ago the Kingman Lead
er-Courier came out in an abusive at
tack on II. n. Gaines, who was chosen
as conductor Of the county normal, &C.
cusing him of everything that was fiji
thy and dishonorable. The teachers
and normal students, regardless of par
ty, became so irritated over the action
of the paper that they at once passed
resolutions strongly coDdemning the
Leader Courier as false and unreliable.
The resolutions assert that Mr.. Gaines
is competent and unbiased instructor
and that the statements of the L. C.
were made wholly out of partisan hat.

are to be congratulated for this action

BARBER COUNTY PLATFORM.

RESOLVED, That we renew our allegiance to
the Omaha platform, but at the same time we
recognize the fact that in the present condi-
ton of political agitation and under the
pressing necessities of the hour, that plank
of our platform which demands the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of is to
l is the one around which the coming politi-
cal battle must be fought, and we further
consider that the plank demanding the aboli-
ton of national banks and the substitution
of postal savings banks, should be joined with
it in rallying our forces for valiant stand
for monetary and industrial reform; and
while this falls campaign is more or less To-
cal in it's nature,w consider it In part, a prep
aration for the battle of 1896 on the lines
herein set forth.
We arraign the present state administra-
ton for its wilful neglect of every promise
made to the people of this state; for its ma
licious partisan and groundless investiga-
tons at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars
wrung from an already tax burdened popu-
lace; for its criminal violation of existing
law, in creating without cause deficiencies TO
be provided for by future legislatures; for its
payment of private and personal obligations
out of the public monies: for its refusal to in
yestigate grave charges against it's own MEM
bers made by prominent men aud Journals
within it's own ranks, and we assert that the
high functions of government is being pros
tituted by the present administration to the
base purpose of building up the managers of
the republican party of this state.

THEY WOULD RATHER HELP OTHERS

'hC WOOLO IA TEN HeIF OIhEKSs
Lots of populists will not put forth
an effort to help popullst paper, on
the theory that running paper IS the
publishers way of making money, and
they argue why should help another
man in a money making schemel''
Now let us say right here, that man
who starts a popuIist paper with the
expectation of making money is sever
al kinds of fool. 1t is not a money
making business. Secondly: A popu-
list paper run inteltigently is educat-
ing the people out OF the bondage and
poverty of the present system into the
prosperity of better system: there
fore it is positive help to every man
and his family. What shall we say of
the man that will not help that which
helps him?-Taloga Advocate.
And what is to be said of the popu-
list who uses his dollars freely to build
up the opposition papers but never
contributes toward sustaining his
own paper? This sdon't-care-a-d amn,'
element is a dangerous factor in our
party.

A NERiTABLE "BUZZ-SAW.
A SPICY PAPER WHOSE MOTTOIS
TRIP Ell UP THE BACK"

We are just in receipt of a letter
from w. S. Morgan, Secretary of the
National Reform Press Association,
announcing that he has consolidated
his two papers, the National Reformer
and Buzz Saw. The publication will
hereafter be known as Morgan's Buzz
Saw, and will be issued monthly at 25
cents year. 1t is the King of Fun,
Wit, Humor, Sarcasm, Parody, Satire
and Ridicule, among populist papers.
1t is unlike any other populist paper
published, occupying field peculiarly
its own. Any single number of it is
we'll worth 25 cents, and there are in
stances where single number sold for
as much as so cents and one dollar.
We Will send the Buzz Saw for one year
together with the INDEX for $1.00.
Note: You can get free sample

1T was remarked on the street the
other day that the present populst
ticket is the best ever nominated by the
peoples party of Barber county. And
that is saying good deal. He might
have added that it is better one than
the republicans have ever nominated
or ever will nominate without depart
ing from the truth. AS long as our
county officers are selected from among
the farmers the old taxpayers interest
will be looked after. These out-of a.
job politicians are not the men to hold
the office, and every one knows that
out-of-a-job politician is a synonym
for republican.

KANSAS CRY completed arrange
ments last Saturday by which she be-
comes owner Of her water works sys-
tenn. Five years ago the people of that
great city would have called such ac-
ton rank socialism and communism
but since that time they were forced
into financial straits by the corporation
that owned the water works and they
soon discovered that the only way out
was municipal ownership. Thus another
populist demand is endorsed by the
great metropolis of the West by men
who vote with different political par
ties. 1t will only be question of time
until all the cities in the United States
will be compelled to follow Kansas
City in this respect or go down under
the oppressive corporations. And since
the propriety and feasibility of munic-
ipal ownership of public utilities has
been demonstrated. the same result
would necessarily follow in case of
national ownership. This Is the only
way to keep the corporations in check.
