HOW TO ORGANIZE.
Hold Meeting in Every Township

Hold Meeting in Every Township.
To the Editor:
Here in Pope county we have a
strong Peoples Party element, but
the county is not organized as it
should be, and the ones that we look
to to do that work seem to Indifferent
to take the lead in this movement.
Our force is in no condition to meet
our enemy at the ballot box in 1896
and probably there are other counties
that are in the same condition. How
are we going to organize and get up
more enthusiasm and our force con-
solidated. D. G. w. STICKNEY,
Willard, April %, 1895.
Horace Greeley said, "the best way
to resume is to resume;" and so we
say that the best way to organize is to
organize. Don't presume than any
one is more. earnest than yourself.
Take right hold; call meeting or
meetings and set the ball rolling. In
troduce the REPRESENTATIVE, or
some other equally good Popuhst pa
per; and stir things up generally.
1t is the case of the woodchuck. The
people have got to organize or the fami-
ly will be ''out of meat" There must
be energy and honesty enough left to
fight the Plutocracy. Go to work and
make the fight, if it takes hind-leg.
Let every earnest man in every
township call meeting and form a
Peoples Party club, and and send us
the names of the officers.

MONOPOLIZING THE AIR.

"The discovery of argon, the new
element in the atmosphere that is
creating a furOre among scientists,
bids fair to open up great possibilli-
ties to capitalists. After condo nsing
machines costing $4,000 are placed
upon the market it will only be an
other step to secure titles to portions
of the atmosphere, and. as argon is as
necessary to preserve life as oxygen
and nitrogen, the drawing off of con-
siderable quantities of the new ele-
ment in certain territories will leave
the people at the mercy of manufac-
turers. Monopolization of air is not
at all MISUNDERSTANDING.
Well we suppose if that ever comes
to pass there will be trouble. If there
is anything that would make the
veriest, peakest-nosed fool in the
Northwest, stop talking about the

to see corporation at work sucking

This week while waiting on the pleas

might say that naturally lacking the

all Of this would doubtless be construed
as being contempt Of court. and one

one cannot be punished for ones

Speaking of contempt of court sug-
gests the idea that. taking the phrase
literally and not in its legal or tech

court might by its course SO lower It
self that the person having contempt
for II would be signalixed not for his
improperly, but for his good judg-
ment.
Judge Dundy has an influence over all
the attaches OF the federal court that
may be compared to the influence Of
Svengali over Trilby. When he comes
in the court room and takes his seat
everybody trembles. The jurors and
spectators shift their positions and take

WHAT BECOMES OF GOLD.

Gold, the most precious and most
sessions, is ever disappearing. Prob
ably one-half of all the gold ever mined
has been lost beyond accounting. 1t
has many ways of disappearing. Now
that it is commanding SO much Of the
thoughts of the men of every nation,
and at time when its comparative
value is SO great from a combination
of circumstances as to give it Il pur-
chasing power out of all due pro-
portion to other values. the channels
Of its disappearance become interest
ing. 1t is estimated that about one
half of the present annual product is
employed in the jewelry trade and in
the arts and sciences. 1t is calculated
that over a ton of gold is used ever
year in filling up the holloWS of de-
cayed teeth. Then gold is n soft metal,
and wears away rapidly in circulating
from hand to hand, from bank TO bank
and in being carried about. One mil
lion and Il quarter of dollars in weight
are lost annually 10y attritiOn. Be
sides immense quantities of gold have
been deliberately buried in the earth
for every century of civilization
hidden away. Pirates and freebo0terS
have thus gotten away with vast sums
of gold in the past. Much of it has
gone down in shipwrecks. In the
time of Pizarro the priests of Peru
buried eleven millions of dollars of
gold which has never been found.
During the dark ages the Jews who
were prosecuted by the Christians,
buried much gold. The tombs Of the
old kings of Egypt were made recep-
tacles for fortunes in gold. 1t is said
that vast sums of gold lie buried in
the long since filed up harbor of old
Tyre. that once London of the ancient
world. The bed of the Tiber which
flows through Rome must be rich in
golden treasure thrown there through
the ages of cOnquests and of revolu-
lions. History tells us that Alexander
the Great became the master of one
billion. two hundred and fifty million
dollars in gold, all squandered, not n
coin hardly of which exists. The sands
of the deserts of Arabia conceal other
millions. India and China contain
much buried gold, all lost TO the world.
Only a few years ago a half million
dollars We're found i'll the coffin or
tomb Of n former queen of NADIA gascar.
These are only some of the ways and
channels through which gold has dis
appeared. Millions upon millions of
gold have been locked up of late in
safety vaults and hidden away. This
will come out and go into circulation
again. as would the hundred millions
held in the United States treasury
vaults for 4 reserve. and the other
hundreds upon hundreds Of millions
held by the treasures of other nations.

only reached that point where such re-
serves would be found 10 be unneces-

pies Money" which money according
TO the writer is gold and gold only.
And SO the bimetailic pretenses of this
club are unmaSked. All the gold

the ranks of the Democracy, but now
that they have thrown of the mask

than as the friends Of silver. while
nobody has believed Mr.. Cleveland To
be sincere in his promises TO do all in
his power to restore silver, still his
claim stood for something and proved
no little bar to the efforts of the people.
But he and his no longer sail under 4

BRUMBAUGR WHACKs BACK.

Rev. DR.. Brumbaugh OF AtchisOn.
who lately criticized the administration
Of Governor Morrill,. in that the Pro-
hibitory law as not enforced in the
state, after reading the governors re-
ply, which was in effect that ma ority
sentiment could not successfully OF.
long be Oyerridden, comes back ac-
knowledging that the executive who
should seek to enforce the law prob
ably could not succeed politically. not
only, but declaring that there is little
pretense anywhere of enforcing the
law. The Reverend Doctor puts the
case even stronger than did the Eagle.
The doctor is off, however. when lie de-
clareS that law can be enforced in
spite of Il majority sentiment To the
contrary. AS the majority elects the
legislative. judicial and executive of
ficers, how would lie 90 about il? The
life of that official who braves the will
OF the ma jority Of the community
which elected him will be of short dura-
ton, besides such officers cannot con-
troll the verdicts of juries. Law is
but crystaliZed public sentiment. and
when any law fails of rejecting the
Will of the majority it becomes Il dead
letter. The official who attempts the
enforcement of an obnoxious statute
will be shelyed as soon as his case
can be reached at the ballot box. Pol
iticiaDs, whether they he governors,
judges. sheriffs or policemen are not
blind TO this proposition, in fact they
are particularly wide awake to its
meaning. However we quote the
Atchison preachers reply in full as
follows:
L have Travelled on the Santa Fe road
from here to Arkansas iCty, on the Rock
Island road to the Colorado line. and on
the Union Pacific road to Salina, and [ am
Tree TO say TO you that at nearly every
station along these routes saw numerous
beer kegs taken from the express car
and left on the platform for some local
dealer in liquor. l do not know whether
the governor has wilfully mistated the
facts In regard 10 the prohibition law or
whether he is ignorant of the true situa-
ton. ] am sure he has Travelled over
this state as much as / have, but accord
ing TO his statements he did not see
Things as 1 saw them / cannot under
stand where the governor keeps his ewes
that he cannot see, or his nose that he
cannot smell. If the governor will go
with me l viii guarantee to take him
into more than three towns in Kansas
where the prohibitory law is openly yio-
lated.
Il say that the statement that laws
cannot be enforced where local senti-
ment is against il is nonsense 1 under
Stand, however, that an executive cannot
long succeed in politics and enforce the
prohibitory law in Kansas at the present
time. There is no use of lodging or
lying about this matter. The governor
says he is willing 10 face the condition
10 which he refers. \ year ago in Kan
