Editor Advocate-We can not deter
mine our position but by reference to
some fixed object. We can not tell
whittier we are drifting politically un-
less we measure by the immovable
standards of the past. Yet can anyone
fail to be startled at the present acts
and utterances of those high in author
ity if he refers to the rules of action
of our earlier statesmen?
Fancy justice of the supreme court
announcing half century ago that
four-fifths of all the wealth Of America
is Incorporated Would our fathers
been unmoved at the thought of having
such a terrible engine of destruction in
irresponsible hands Cor a corporation
is "soulless'') in their midst? Yet when
Justice Field made this assertion a few
months ago. it passed almost unnoticed.
When reporters went to interview
Russell Sage in regard to the action
against him to recover damage for hay
ing used his clerk as a shield against

The idea of the papers saying that Mr..
ChOate was doing his duty in prosecut-
ing rich man, irrespective of the mer-
it's of the case. What would the world
be without capitalists?"
OF course, poor men should freely offer
themselves to shield the rich from dyna-
mite. That a rich man should be prose
cuted for anything is absurd, just as
the French princess thought it absurd
for people to throng the streets crying
for bread, and she wondered why they
did not eat cake. The world would
probably have got along without cap
italists of the Sage stripe and been
much better off. Great corporate enter
prises would have been prosecuted in
stead by the people in the capacity OF
nation, state, county, township or city.

And now the local authorities in some
parts Of Germany are prohibiting the

tion of Asiatic cholera from Honolulu,

tine against it.

biennial session was held in Cleveland

At Pawnee, Ok, the United States
grand jury has found 43 indictments for
pension frauds Some Of them are
against Pawnee Indians whose tribe
furnished number of soldiers for the
civil war.
The Standard Oil company has pur-
chased large petroleum fields in Russia,
and also large quantity Of crude naph-
to. That's one place in which the
Standard monopoly can't make matters
any worse for the people.
In South Carolina they are seriously
discussing the question whether the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
confer upon the negro the inalienable
right to hold office. A large percentage
of the lawyers take the negative side.
Ex-Governor Thayer of Nebraska was
hooted down at the Louisville encamp-
ment when he made speech in which
he endorsed the action of President
Cleveland in the Chicago strike and in
which he condemned in severe language
Governor Altgeld and Debs.
In a case involving a question of US
ury, at Carroll, Ia, Lawyer Payne ad-
vanced the plea that a national-bank
is not liable to the practices of the law
of the state of Iowa, therefore dis
trict court Of the state had no jurisdic-
tion. Judge Elwood sustained the OBJ
lection and his decision has created
sensation.
General J.. S. Clarkson declares him
self as "unalterably opposed" to the
use of money in campaigns except for
the printing of literature, speeches, and
the like. Perhaps Clarkson is also op-
posed to betting on elections. His friends
in Iowa who gambled on his tips in 1884
are now opposed to betting on Clark
sons judgment.

Experience MeetIng at Ness City.

Editor Advocate:-Ness City had an
experiment meeting last Saturday, Aug.
81. That is, certain old republican
party leaders, who had been relegated
to the rear during the years Of general
awakening, proposed meeting, where
candidates for the different county Of
fees, to be voted at the primary two
weeks hence, should be suggested. This
was to give the people to understand
that the politicians wanted them to
have fair show and propose the name
of any man or friend they wanted to
bring. out for office. Result; Five names
for sheriff, four of them old soldiers;
for treasurer, one name, son of an
old soldier; for register of deeds, one old
soldier, three sons Of veterans; for coun-
ty clerk, one old soldier; comment Is
unnecessary. The boss who represents
or wants to represent the party al
ways wants to say, that in an off year
like this there are none but local issues
and to better prove this, they had the
Hon. Dick Blue, ongressman-at-large

been saved by the president Upon pub

drawals of gold ceased and gold which
had already been taken out was re-
turned to the treasury. The reserve
was gradually restored, confidence be-
gan to increase, business slowly to re-
vive and prices to advance. And so
once more our president proved himself
the man for the hour.
when the silver heresy, which we
all supposed dead when the purchase
clause was repealed, began few
months ago to writhe and wriggle
again, like snake whose head has
been crushed but whose body continues
to live until sundown-when this phe-
nomenon exhibited itself Mr.. Cleveland
sounded once more the call to battle,
defined the issues as one between the
honest gold standard and silver mono
metallism, and sent his lieutenants west
and south to pierce the body of the
reptile, Three sturdy killing blows
were those of Carlisle in Kentucky.
The snake Is now in it's last gasps, and
it's carcass will be swept away in the
rush of returning prosperity.
You are familiar with the history of
trade in our country Tor the last few
months, and how the efforts Of the syn
dicate have restored confidence and
prosperity is coming. There has been
some idea that October might mark the
termination of the syndicate's good
work, but there Is no certainty of this.
That president, who made the splendid
bargain of February, can and will make
(perhaps already has made) another
equally good. OF this we are certA;h,

the country and will buy all the gold
