A PLuTocRATIc LIE.


You Cannot Take Something from Nothing.
Which It Is Not.
All the dispatches sent out from this
city recently recording the supposed
death and abandonment of the Indiana
populist party contained this para
graph:
1.-THE populist party in Indiana re-
ceived its first blow three weeks ago
when the Farmers Mutual Benefit as
ISOLATION of the state cut loose from
it."
This is the most arrant nonsense and
dreariest of rot The inference intend
ed to be conveyed is that the Farmers
Mutual Benefit association is popu-
list organization and that it had re-
solved to withdraw from the party,
etc AS matter of fact it is not po-
litical organization at all, but a nom
partisan association of farmers for
purely business purposes. Members
of all parties belong to it and SO
far from any political test being re-
CURED for membership, partisanship
is absolutely prohibited by its consti-
tuition. 1t is true that some of the
members are populists, but as far as
we know most of them belong to the
old parties. Gov. Matthews, of this
state, is member of the order and has
been for years. Other democrats and
republicans as well are now or have
been members. To talk, therefore, of
this association having withdrawn
from the populist party and therefore
given it it's death-blow is about as silly
as to announce that the A. P. A. had
withdrawn from the Catholic church
and completely crushed the power of
the pope. When the F. NJ. B. A. held its
annual state convention here a few
weeks ago it transacted its usual bust
ness, elected officers and adjourned
The question of politics or the relation
of the order to any political party was
not mentioned in the meeting at all.
The truth is that only about twenty
five members were present, all told.
After the meeting one or two of the
members in informal talks with re-
porters stated that the order had moth
ing to do with political parties and
would hereafter, as heretofore, rigidly
avoid all connection with any and all
parties. This was bounced upon as
the basis of the ridiculous dispatch
from which we have quoted above, and
copies of which have been clipped and
sent into this office from half the states
in the union. We suppose the next
thing we will be called on to contra
dict is the grave announcement that
the Masonic order, or the Odd Fellows,
or the Knights of Pythias. have deter
mined to withdraw from the populist
party and give it its death-blow some
more. - Indianapolis Qnd.) Noncon-

children in the Indian schools. One
regular uniform for pupils in all these
schools, besides doing away with in

relations of the schools to the central

viding a natty-looking blue flannel

CHATSWORTH PARK, Los ANGELES
county. Cal.-Twenty-i miles north
west of the city of Los Angeles, at the
foot of the Santa Susana mountains,
overlooking the most fertile valley in
Southern California is Chatsworth Park.
Surrounded by rolling hills. beautiful
groves OF live and white oaks, picturesque
canyons in which are large reservoirs
or lakes, all go to make this one of the
most desirable places in this land of sun
shine.
The elevation of Chatsworth Park is
about 1000 feet above sea level. The air
is dry and there are no cold nights. The
breeze loses its harsbness In coming over
the range OF hills lying between Chats
worth Park and the ocean, and yet the
Pacific is only some 10 miles away. No
fogs trouble this section. The climate
cannot be surpassed. while few places
equal it in scenery.
Chatsworth Park comprises some 5000
acres of the finest OF soil, adapted to the
growing of all varieties OF fruits and win

cot, prune, peach and olive grown to per-
fection in this valley. while strawb berries

Already there has been planted about
800 acres of oranges and lemons, besides
about 800 acres of other fruits. and more
Will be set out this coming spring. The

water system and Improvements are still

The soil is a deep sandy loan. free from
rocks and stones. and all ready for the plow
without any cleaning. A fine school
house has been built on the tract with
am pie accomm odations for all present
purposes. Church services are held at
present in the school house, but arrange
ments are being made to build, in the
near future. church ediiice.
A good railroad runs into the tract, and
to those who purchase now the promise
of large returns on tile investment is
more than fiattering. The price of these
lands with water las been put at $3.50 per
acre, price so low as to enable those of
moderate means to maze themselves
homes for a small outlay. We want de-
sira ole class of settlers-people VINO will

by enhance the value of the balance of the
property. After 200 families are located
the price of these lands will be advanced
