SECRETARY GRESHAM DEAD.

Walter @. Gresham, Secretary OF state,
died at his home in Washington, D. c.,
at 100 o'clock, on Monday morning
last. He was first taken with pneu-
monia, which became complicated with
other diseases and resulted in his death.
In the death OF Walter QssGresha1n,
the nation loses one OF her great men.
He has filled many places Of trust and
honor with credit to himself. He has
for a number of years held some very
advanced views on the many economic
questions, and had he consented to &C
cept the nomination he would without
been the populfst nominee for president
IN 1892. He then took the position
that many others did that it was the
duty Of all reformers to support the
democratic ticket. thinking that the
needed reforms might be brought about
through that party easier than building
a new, his position at that time evil
IDENTIFY made him secretary OF state.

upon which rests all our institutions

This decision comes with o SUR
prise beconse OF the fact that a similar
law enacted during the sixties was then
held constitutional, which lends color
to the CLAIM of many that the decisions
of court are es unstable and unreliable
as the whims Of judges chose to make
them.

DON'T Z "A AT HOME.

Good advice to popullsts is given by
Chairman Harmon, of Pochontas
county, IN his call for the county con-
vention, where he says: Don't stay at
homesand leave it all for the other fell
low to do. Tor that is the way we have
been cheated out OF our rights in the
past, letting someone else run the con-
ventlons.'
Right, Bro. Harmon; q, reform party
must practice eternal vigilance, especi.
ally wnen its votes become numerous

ieians, or the party grows enough

INCOME TAX LAID AWAY.

The income tax law which flashed like
a meteor aLross the political skye, and
briefly illuminated the Egyptian dark
ness OF the democratic administration
the one little thing that gave the horizon
OF the future q lurid hue-has come and
gone. 1t has been laid in it's grave, be-
side the Interstate Commerce law and
numerous other legislative acts intended
for the good OF the great mass OF the
people-the wealth producers of the
land.
The supreme court OF the United
States by a vote of four to five has de-
cided 1T unconstitutional and therefor
OF no effect.
This may be good law, but it is GER
tainly most unfortunate that such is the
case. There are a large number OF plain,
common people, who are beginning to
inquire into what this strange and mys-
terious thing called law is. It was once
said to he common sense, but a great
many are beginning to think it is hum
buggery or common cussedness-they.
can't understand how injustice can be
made justice, Or wrong made right by
simply q little word juggling under the
guise OF law. Neither can they under
stand why so many laws like this IN
come tax law-right in themselves-just
to all-opposed by zone but the privi-
legged institutions. that are growing rich
out OF the unjust tribute they extract
from the people, should be declared UNI
constitutional. They have the right to
ask "is 1t because our constitutions were
framed in the interest of these special
classes, are the constitutions both state
and national becoming a useless barrier
to all progress, or Is the supreme court
composed Of men owned and controlled
by the money power as it WAS controlled
by the slave power when the DREAD
Scott Decision was rendered.
Look at this from what ever stand
point we may, this decision will have
the most detrimental effect upon us as a
nation, Of anything that has occurred
since the late war. 1t will weaken the
faith Of u laboring and producing
classes in the justice OF our government,
and will tend to confirm the already too
general belief that all law ia in the in
terest Of the rich and powerful, and thus
bring it into contempt, inspire hatred
for the government and bread anar-
chisms. Sad will be the day when the
common people, the middle classes lose
respect Tor our country. It is they who
produce our wealth, and fight our bat

Rap,d yall.y Horse Ranch Case.

ASs1SAh 80
There is no cast on the calander OF our
court that has attracted the attention
ot,the people and fattened the lawyer SO
much as the Day Horse Ranch case.
The attorneys in the case last week re-
ceived word from the clerk OF the gu
preme court affirming the
lower courts ruling in the case OF Myron
Willsle VS.. The Rapid Valley Horse COM
pany. This decision will make it neces-
sary for the assignee of the company to
pay over the sum OF about $4,000, re-
ceived from the sale of the stock. There
has been much delay in the final settle
ment OF this companies affairs and moth
Ing in it's results will be encouraging in

Mr.. Harmon, in q letter on another
page, also makes the wise suggestion
that each county convention take an
expression Of the sentiment Of It's mem

order that our leaders can see where
they are at" Bro. Harmon adds HE
belief that no county IN the state or n
other would declare for a single plank.
II believe" he says, chat all OF the
common folk or men in the ranks will
sustain the Omaha platform in it's iul-
ness" And again the Tribune believes
Bro. Harmon is right. "The common
folk or men in the ranks are always
right in their judgment OF the popular
needs, and being single-minded in their
aims they ever pursue the policy, not of
trade and dicker, but OF straightness.
Hence the wisdom Of the ages has said,
THE voice OF the people ls the voice Of
so true Is it's expression and so
unerring.
We trust that all the honest "com-
mon folk" who have no trades to make
and no axes to grind, but only the
grand common cause OF country and
to serve, will adopt Bro. Hair
