in 1896, and it must be acknowledged
the cool-headed politicians prevented a
stormy session. While the silver dele
gates claim it was pronounced victory
for them, and there is not the slightest
doubt it was, it gives the republican
party ample time to learn just what po-
sition to assume in the next campaign.
There is not the slightest doubt, that if
the convention had declared itself an
tagonistic to the free coinage of silver,
the silver delegates would have left the
convention to either affiliate with the
populist party, or a new political organ
ization would have been formed, the
latter movement the most likely. Tn
der the circumstances, a campaign of
education is on, and the possibility of
the national convention, giving some
pronounced encouragement to the silver
wing, now becomes more feasible.

Onward March.

While the monometallists continue to
ridicule those who are in favor of the
free coinage of silver, and their leaders
tell the people that the voters of this
country, after reading the foolish and
illogical works penned by Harvey and
his cO-wOrkers, are falling over each
other to worship at the shrine of the
golden calf" yet we see hundreds of
instances, where in those who have been
pronounced single standard men, have
changed their views and entered the
fast increasing army of Bimetallists.
In the Chicago Record of June 18th,
we read the following from the pen of
Rev. ID. F. Phillips:
Il was long time making up my
mind before sending i'll my vote. This
silver question has been to NE a most
perpleXing one. | wanted to read up
on the question. | have a scrap book
at home, III which excerpts from The
Record and other matter have been
pasted, and they have helped me more
etfectually than any book published on
this veXatious subject. For years did
my share in ridiculing the free-silver
advocates. Ever since the debate be-
tween MesSrs. Harvey and Laughlin |
have made a special study of the sub
jeCt. | had hoped that Prof. Laughlin
would pulveriZe Harvey and his argu-
ments into the finest powder. | was
greatly disappointed i'll the professor,
while Mr.. Harvey not only aStOniShed
me with his argumentative presenta-
tiOnS but succeeded also in knocking
out what prejudices | had against the
'freesilver craze My conversion to
bimetallism dates from that memorable
night | have carefully and studiOusly
read ever since on both sides of the con
troverSy, and | am satisfied now that
free silver has the best of the argu-
ment.'
OF course our gold bug friends will
say that this preacher, like all the rest
OF those in favor of the free coinage OF
silver, are cranks and fools, but still the
march Of iinancia!e education goes march
ing on, and ere the call to fall in" re,
sounds through the great domains OF
the United States in 1896, a gigantic
host in favor of the free coinage Of sill.

Unjust Legislation.

OK whatever lines the political cam
paign OF next year opens UP, one thing
IS certain, the great questions pertain
ing to the rights and the interests Of the
laboring classes VIII have a prominent
place. The proper relation Of capital
to labor viii always be an issue here
after until affairs are SO arranged that
equality of rights are fully maintained.
The industrial classes Of the country
have got tired Of being put off with the
smooth theories and platitudes OF pOlit
ical economists whose so-called philoS-
ophy and science always fail when put
topractical use The theory has seemed
to be heretofore that capital must first
be placated no matter what becomes of
labor. The theory has always proved
futile, because it places wealth liz the
foreground and man subseryient. Man
has got to be placed first in any plan for
teal effects can be worked out. The
results of promoting capital and wealth
are the combinations of labor against
capital. Legislature has nearly always
favored monopoly, great corporations
and consolidated wealth. The greatest
political scandals of our history have
grown out Of the use of money to Sc
cure favorable legislation for great
trusts, like the Credit Mobelier, or the
coal oil and sugar trusts.
1t is freely acknowledged even by the
leaders ofthe laboring classes that much
of the fault for this state of affairs lies
with themselves, because they have al.
lowed themselves to be duped into the
support of those men who are purchas-
able as the tools of the very monopolies
which should be antagOnized. But the
fact remains that the condition of the
working classes in this country is not
what it should be. The price of theil
labor is not fixed by the law of supply
and demand, but by the combinations
of capital and by tyrannOus mOnopo
lies. Laboris growing wise in the midst
of FESTIVE discomfort. 1t is an issue
which will not down and cannot be put
aside, no matter what the contest may
be on the tariff question or the coinage
muddle. Neither can the honest con
victions of intelligent men of the labor

SOME OF the democratic papers al

SOME OF the democratic papers are
shouting, over the prospects of a rup-
ture Of the republican party. The prin-
cipal cause for rejoicing is caused by
the call for a silver convention in Kan
sas, by republicans in that State. One
of our exchanges says: "The G. o. p.
finds itself between the devil and the
deep sea-" 1t looks to us as though the
democratic party had about as much as
they can attend to along this line, and
more pronounced.

TIE old time opposition to the en-
ployment of women in such adyocations
as their ability and their physical
strength allows, has nearly passed away
during the past few years. In therapid
advance of civilization, intelligence and
the higher and more practical educa-
ton, there has been a growing tendency
among bright and independent women
to prepare themselves for active duty
in the various professions. That wom-
en- are especially fitted by nature and
sympathy for the medical profession
must be conceded. The number of
women of the best classes who prefer
the advice and care in sickness Of WOm-
en- physicians is rapidly increasing.
There is no superiority necessarily fol-
lowing the fact of sex in any calling
where mental qualifications and exper-
fence are the requisites. A man is not
necessarily better physician. with bet
ter insight and more useful experience,
because he is a man, to minister care
fully and alphabetically and judiciOus-
ly to sick child or an invalid woman
The same rule applies to many other
professions and pursuits of life which
now being sought out and occupied by
the enterprising young women of this
land.

THE Republican National League
closed it's labors at Cleveland, Ohio, last
Friday. The convention, while to all
appearances was harmonious, yet an un-
der current was felt, that, if brought
out, would have caused one of the most
exciting times ever witnessed at gath
ering of political men. This was all
due to the position taken by the silver
delegates. The convention failed to
express by resolutions, or otherwise,
principles or policies to be adhered to
by the national republican convention

That there was G revulsion Of feeling

derived from populism in this county
has been plainly evident to the minds of
those not blinded by partisanship, and
the latter class awoke to that fact on
election day when they found that there

the voters and a very light vote being
roiled. The weather was not all that

There we're number of surprises to
both sides when the ballots we're

discovery that Hotchkiss and Crawford

greater plurality than IS for any popu-

an average republican plurality OF IS,

pOPULlSM PARALYzEO.

The election in Delta county is over
and its results indicate that the wave Of
populism has about spent it's force in.
this section. With strong ticket,
against the character or integrity of
no individual member Of which a word
was said, they met crushing defeat
and we believe that the result was due
Of the people Of this county are croakers.
1t has been one Of the leading tenets Of
the populist press and leaders TO preach,
in season and ont Of season, that the
country was going to the dogs generally.
that the officials elected by either Of the
old parties were not to be trusted and
that their success alone would bring re-
lief from all the ills of life. In some
mysterious way, il they were only in
power, they would secure by legislation
freedom from the hand Of the oppressor
by monetary or other legislation which
should provide every man with job at
a salary which would enable him to
keep whole pack OF wolves from the
door without any particular e1ertion.
They had the legislature and control
Of the state for two years, and found
that in spite Of their most persistent en-
deavors and careful calculations they
could not provide jobs for all the deserv-
ing members OF their own party. They
provided for as many as they could and
then proceeded to make a record which
is now matter of history and so IA
miliar to the people as to need no com
nept.
One year ago the republicans "re-
deemed the state, and during that short
time there has become manifest such a
difference in it's affairs that the people
who do their own thinking have arrived
at the conclusion expressed at the polls
Tuesday. They see that populism, with
it's croaking propensities, has no ten
dency to improve. and have left its fold
to resume their wonted activity and
cheerfuiness.
We believe that after one year Of re-
newed republican administration Of the
county offices the voters who brought
about the present result will be % we'll
satisfied that they will continue with
that party.
The ladies' deserve especial credit for
the able work they did, and the result
shows that the success Of the republi-
can ticket was largely due to their
efforts.
