ask for where so many may contribute a
little without much of q sacrifice.

WHAT DOES 1T slcNIFY2

Scarcely day passes but that we
can scan the columns of the press and
read account after account of CRIME,
poverty, starvation. and feeble moving
armies of the unemployed only to find
that no better conditions exist In one
place than in another. The peniten.
tiaries and poor-houses of the land, as
well as the insane asylums, are filled
TO an overlooking capacity and in MANY
cases these institutions present a hid
eous and brutal spectacle unexcelled in
the palmiest days of barbarism. The
police force of the cities are daily en-
gagged in herding and corralllng the
victims of surreptitious legislation like
cattle, with their ears dead to the
pleadings for mercy. All over the
world these deeds of infamy are being
carried on and indications bid fair that
they will be intensified rather than re-
tarded.
The cause OF this deplorable condl-
zion OF affairs and the remedy therefor,
nave been put in the hands of every
voter in this country; reform literature
has been circulated from one end of the
continent to the other, but it seems
that the great majority of the masses
WILL NOT heed but continue to vote
themselves and their posterity into alb
Jectslavery and death itself. This. in a
measure, is accounted for by the scep-
ter OF authority that the money power
ruthlessly sways over the seemingly
helpless victims they control. Already
the corporations have threatened to
discharge all employees who refuse to
vote according to orders. 1t is needless
to say that the corporations are for tbs
gold standard system first, last and all
the time.
TO the prudent and forward looking
citizen, this state of affairs in the body
polite has a serious significance. 1t
records the fact that we are on the eve
of a revolution, that we are confronted
with condition which must be met.
The unequalfooting between capitaland
labor must be halted and the principle
that "au men are created tree and
equal" made practical. The time has
come when something WILL be done.
The chaotic armies of the unemployed
have been frequently suppressed by
the man on horseback but the tolera-
ton of these outrages is nearing a close.
The opportunity is still invltingly and
pleadingly extended to the great mass
of people to throw off the yoke of bond
age and walk up to the polls like free
men and vote as American patriots and
not as serfs. Labor must assert its
rights, being in the majority, it can
control the policy of the nation, all
that is required is that the masses, by
their votes, make the demand that the
tyranny of capital shall cease. The
remedy Is within the reach of the OPP
pressed, why not exercise it2

Ben CLOVER has at last been reward
ed for carrying something Ia good deal
worse than mud for the 9. o. p. He
was given the position Of farmer at

populist and honored by his party by
being elected congressman from the
thlrd district. He turned out to
be traitor aud depraved disreput-
able old scoundrel and was promptly
turned down. AS result he went
back to the republican party and was
rewarded for so doing. He has q rec

JUDGE CAL DWELL WRITES AtrrrFe

JUDGE CALDWELL WRITES A LETTER,
Denver, Col, May 17.-Hon, Henry
G. Caldwell, senior United States Cir
cult Judge for the Eighth judicial Cir
cult. first made District Judge by Pres
ident Grant, and promoted to the Cir
cult Judgeship by President Harrison
wrote letter under date Of ST. Louis.
April 80, to an old army friend, now in
Denver, in which among other subjects.
he speaks freely and frankly upon the
| SilyerquestiOn. The letter was written
without any supposition that any part
OF 1t would be given to the public, but
the friend TO whom it was written. who
is an ardent silver man himself, assumes
es the privilege tor the sake of the
good cause to make public a part of
what the Judge writes about silver.
Judge Caldwell's utterances are bold.
clear and unequIvocal. The following
ls from the letter:
The country is about entering upon
another struggle for the protection of
the rights and the promotion of the IN
terests of the laborer and producer,
which IS, in my judgment, of even more
moment than the first 1 have been
surprised that the issue has been so
long delayed. The light ought to have
been forced years ago on the line OF
absolute aud unqualified free coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio of Is to l.
without regard to the action of Eng
Iaud or any other foreign power.
IF we ara subservient to England in
our financial policy, why not in other
matters? The financial policy of a ma
ton determines its strength and pros
perity and the nation which consents
that another and competing nation
may regulate Its financial policy will
find Its producers Impoverished and
us industries destroyed, and the ma
ton itself will soon be little more than
mere dependency of the power to which
1t surrendered the most vital function
Of government.
Ii we are not capable and able to es
tabllsh and maintain our own financial
policy we ought to hall down Old
Glory which you fought to CALAMITY
uphold and turn the government over to
Queen Victoria,or ask Canada to annex
US.
The President has thrown down the
gauntlet of battle. l trust the silver
men in all parties Will take it up. l
am happy IN the belief that platforms
which mean anything or nothing CO
the silver question, will in the future
go fer nothing with the members of all
parties. The people have been delud-
ed and deceived until their eyes are CD
en-. There has sprung up among them
hostility to such platforms, which the
empty and perfidious hypocrisy of set
phrases meyer fails in the end to IN

CHESTER L. LONG had about faded
into oblivion until it was heralded to
the world by telegraph that he had sue
ceeded III getting someone's pension
through. This is the first time he has
swum to the surface since married
That IS about the size of Chester's abil-
lty, and he wants credit for all these
little things. The Medicine Lodge In
DEX cites whole list of names Of peo-
pie whom jerry Simpson aided in get.
ting pensions aud then proceeds 10 show
up some OF the good parts Jerry took in
shaping national legislation, calling
special attention to the defeat OF the
pooling bill, largely conceded to be due
to his efforts. Long will be nonenitv
when it comes to shaping national leg
islation--a mere lump OF putty in the
hands OF corporations and gold gam
blers. AS to Jerry Simpson, he was
considered one of the ablest men in the
house. This was universally conceded
by men OF all parties. Champ Clark,
democratic member OF the house from
~AAoSOAAAs III a 4CCoitO speech before
that body, said; when L came into
the house [ had the newspaper idea
about Jerry Simpson. Finally he got
up here and made speech on the sill
yer question. / listened to the speech,
and want to say now, because some
body has got to state it to the Amerl-
can people, as Simpson and are going
out together (laughter), that during the
whole of that long, able, profound de-
bate on the silver question there was
not man in this house on either side
that delivered speech that was pitch
ed on higher plane of political ecouo-
my and human philosophy and stuck
to 1t to the end better than Mr.. Simp-
son. They say that AN open confess
sion is good for the SOUL And L want
to make that statement now. From
that day to this, instead of having the
newspaper idea of Jerry Simpson-that
he is cantankerous demagogue-I
have regarded him as philosopher, as a
statesman, as one of the friends of hui
man freedom. - Wellington Voice.

SIMPSON DID 1T.

Here is little more wholesome food
for the republican press of this con-
gressional district. The following let.
ter from commissioner of pensions is
self-explanatory and shows that Simp-
son has been and is still engaged in pro-
curing pensions for the disabled SOL
diers in their declining years:
Department of Interior. Bureau of pensions,
WASHINGTON, d. c.. May 20. 1895.
SIR: have the honor TO advise you
that the claim of Edmund j. Deyerse.
Lyons, Rice county, Kansas, for pen.
sion has been allowed at So per month
from May 10. 1890. Certificate No.
456. $50 will be this day forwarded to
the Topeka Agency for transmittal TO
the pensioner with voucher for pay
ment.
AS you have called up this case by
letters of inquiry deem it but courte-
Gus to inform you of this action.
Very Respectfully,
WIN. LoCHREN, Commissioner.
Hon. JERRY SIMPSON.
Mir. Simpson called thls claim up
since his term expired and got it
through, showing that he works for the
old Boys in Blue whether he is paid for
1t or not. Jerry Simpsons fidelity to the
people he served is becoming more ap
parent each day and the attempt of
republican papers to place him in a
false light is effectuaIly overcome by
such substantial evidence as the above
letter. But the average republican ed
itor of the state hasn't got the honesty
and manhood to give Simpson his just
deserts. Wen wager that there is an
old soldier IN Rice county IN the per-
son OF Edmund j. Deverse that stands
ready to testify as to what has been
done for the old soldiers through Jerry
Simpson. Remember, too, that Simp-
son procured this pension while Long
is congressman. Now crack that, Mr..
Cresset.
