In the early days our friend was on the
local staf of a Cincinnati paper. He

notes when one Of the sisters approached
him and suggested that he should go up

bench.

The goldbug papers, in their sud-
denly developed derision for the
Horr- Harvey debate, are charging
that it was a mere money making
scheme to sell books for Mr.. Har-
vey. Since they challenged Harvey
themselves and went to New York
after Horr and brought him to Mr..
Harvey's home, Chicago, it seems a
little strange that they would go so
far out of their way and do so much
to further the sale of Mr.. Harvey's
books. And now, to cap the climax,
comes a publication Of an assign
ment by Mr.. Harvey of all profits
from the sale OF the book containing
The debate, to the silver committee
to be used in promoting the cause.
These goldbugs had as we'll come
down off their perch and confess that
they have Numbered and made a bad
bargain.

Sneakinp Of the Ohio Renublican

Speaking OF the Ohio Republican
convention the editor of the Review
Of Reviews, says:
"Their declaration on the silver
question is somewhat ambiguOusly
wOrded, but it cannot be cOntOrted
into an Endorsement Of the free coin
age position. While the Republicans
are declaring themselves friendly in a
vague sort of fashion to what they
call ''larger use" Of silver, they are
evidently proposing to stand next year
upon platform which for all practi
Cal purposes can mean nothing else
than maintenance of the existing
gold standard"
This is undoubtedly true read
ing of the signs Of the times. What
will it profit if the Sumner county
Republicans should even 60 so far
as to declare for free silver, as re-
quested by Judge Ray elsewhere?
Kansas Republicans did the same
thing in their state convention in
1890, but it had no weight with the
national convention. You will have
to "come out of her, my people," If
you get your sentiment properly
registered in the ballot box.

Simple Simons, of the Caldwell
News, is fairly beside himself with
joy because ne imagines the VOICE
got the same kind of a drubbing
from the South Haven statesman
that he himself received. Unable
himself to whip US he is willing to

whipped. The difference between

coin September 9Th was not issued
by the Democratic State Central
Committee, but by the element in
the party which bolted the conven-
ton last year. The committee ex-
plains in detail that only thirty out
of 400 delegates bolted the conven.
ton nominee, ostensibly because of
fusion, but really because the con-
vention favored free silver. Incl.
dentally it may be mentioned that
though the boilers are a very small
part of the party, they have been
given all of the federal patronage
and recognized as the only Demo-
cratic party at Washington. The
letter concluded: "However, by di.
rechon of the regular Democratic
organization of Nebraska, we hereby
extend you a cordial invitation to
attend the regular Democratic state
convention at a date to be fixed in
the near future and engage in a Joint
discussion of the silver question with
Hon. W. J. Bryan. Bryan was the
unanimous choice of the last state
convention for United States sena-
tor, receiving on the preference vote
$4,000 as against 10000 for the reg
ular Democratic nominees the year
previous. Our platform is: The
free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present ratio of l6
to l, without waiting for the aid or
consent of any nation on earth"
The letter caused a commotion in

Prof. Frank Parsons in the August
Arena makes an exhaustive report
on the cost of electric lighting in
different representative cities and
states of the United States, under
private and public ownership. From
the figures furnished him by the
treasury departments of the different
cities, and from the reports of
engineers and electrical experts, he
shows the enormous saving effected
in every case by public ownership.
This paper should be carefully
studied by every tax payer of We'll

parative data. 1t has never been

Geo. T. Anthony, as insurance
commissioner, has attacked the sys-
tenn of Fraternal life insurance. In
his recent report he ridicules them
and complains of the liberal rights
granted them by the laws. Fraternal
life insurance, as embodied in the
A. 0. U. w.. Select Knights, Modern
Woodmen, and various other orders,
are founded on the principle of CO.
operation to which Mr.. Anthony's
predictions have always been op-
posed. Mr.. Anthony would have all
people who desire life insurance to
pay tribute to wealthy corporations
who use the profits in paying high
salaries and erecting fine buildings
in Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
and other New England cities. The
truth is that these fraternal aSsocia-
tionS have furnished the cheapest
and safest insurance extant. Who
ever heard Of these institutions de-
faulting in payment Of losses3 They
are home institutions and Mr.. An.
thony wants to strike them down in
the interest of rich foreign companies
who have more Doodle to dispense.
If he accomplishes his purpose An
thony will have earned an ample
fortune at the hands of those whom
he serves and at the expense of the
people of Kansas. The VOICE would
direct the attention of all members
of these orders to the work of this
plutocrat.

of wrong doing. The News insists
that all who are guilty of violating
the law should be dealt with alike

And the trouble with Mr.. Simons
is that he cannot get so far as the ar
raignment Of anyone. He would
certainly not have US believe that he
is so dull Of comprehension that he
could pass through one campaign as a
political editor and another as a can
didate himself and not get onto Messrs.
Faurot and Stewards little deal with
sufficient pOsitiveness to Justify him
in uncorklng little Of that righteous
indignation which bubbles up so fierce
ly every time Populist or Democrat
official wanders into by and forbidden
paths? There are various ways of
apOlOgizing, and every time Mr.. ST.
mons injected one Of his peculiarly
emphatic ''ifs" into the discussion of
the Faurot-Stewart case, it ALWAYS
happens tc stand in such a relation to
his other remarks as to convey TO the
mind Of the reader the impression
that the editor does not believe the
accused guilty. In other words, after
moralizing on the 'sinfulness of sin"
and the dishonesty of not being hon
est and whipping the devil over st.
Peters shoulders, fguratively speak
ing, until the saint is we'll tanned Mr..
SimOns comes back TO the case in hand
with now "if" Me- Faurot is guilty of
anything like this, etc. How are the
facts in the case to be brought out and
the guilty made to suffer if ssme one
is not tried? Is Mr.. Faurot, the self
confessed principal in the deal, too
good to be investigated? Is he any
the less guilty of the part he played
in the "sell-Out" or "give-away" even
if there are ten or dozen Others con-
nected with the affair? The way to
pry into the matter is to prosecute
those most get-at-able and trust to
developments to involve the other
guilty ones. According to Mr.. Simons'
way Of treating the matter no one
should be prosecuted until al! the
Others are convicted; which of course
means that there should be no prose-
cutiOn at all.
AS regards our personal grievance"
against Mr.. FaurOt, it is probably no
stronger than the personal obliga-
tion" Of the editor of the News to Mr..
Fanrot in view of the two years ben
efts which he has enjoyed at the
county printing crib. Besides We rest
easy in the knowledge that we are in
the right, which knowledge is based
upon the oral and written admissions
OF Mr.. Faurot himself; while the edit
or of the News is filling a Don Quixote
engagement and tanning the thin air
to his own Getriment.-South Haven

There was considerable complaint
about the Republican committee
meeting last Saturday being held in
the forenoon rather than the after
noon as has been the custom for
years agone. The purpose was not
apparent to the uninitiated but it is
safe to say the ring had an object in
view-just a link in their chain of
plans. The trick did not set very
well on the stomachs of those COM
mitteemen who came late expecting
the meeting to be held in the after
noon, as heretofore. We doubt if
the ring will profit by this move.
The suspicion it begat will cause the
people to scrutinize their future acts
more closely and call down the ia
dignation and censure of a betrayed
constituency upon their heads, in

We republish in this issue an article
from the South Haven New Era
which speaks out right to the point.
Bro. BranScombe takes Editor Naugle
across his knee and conveys, in the
good Old-fashioned manner some ex-
cellent truths to his political anatomy.
1t is all right for Mr.. Naugle to talk
reform for the other fellow but it is
far better to condemn fraud when
practiced at home. The late POpulist
administration has been proven to be
the most corrupt and rotten ever
known in the state OF Kansas. And
Mr.. Naugle knows it too.-Caldwell
News.
Sweet morsel, isn't it1
1t is right pleasant to have some
one reinforce you in your fruitless
effort to castigate the VOICE. But in
your ecstasy you get off the subject.
1t is not Populist corruption" or
fraud" that Branscombe wants US to
condemn. 1t is Republican corrup-
ton and fraud which you yourself
have palavered over, excused and
apologized for, moralized and spec
ulated about, said everything, and
yet nothing, concerning, and now
you are enraptured with joy because
the New Era condemns the VOICE
for its leniency, forgetting that it has
words of far greater condemnation
for you than for US. Indeed you are
Gan amoozin' little cuss."
We have heretofore treated of the
"Populist corruption" you pirate
about, and two weeks ago called on
you to express a few opinions about
the right or wrong doing of your own
party representatives but you are
still silent as the grave.
Again we would ask your opinion
of Gov. Morrill's act in taking that
$685. for services and expenses be-
fore his inauguration Was it right
or wrong1 Ifwrong why don't you
condemn it, as you want the Voice
to condemn Populists1 Come, now,
you goody,-goody, little hypocritical
time-servsr, speak up. We pause for
your answer as we have done before,

Gov. Morrill, did so and so. That

shall call the people to witness your

Dufer Horr would get Harvey rat
tied and excited, and they feel their
disappointment keenly. Instead of
Harvey being ratified he had Horr
confused and mad half the time,

bearing. Harvey was young and
inexperienced while Horr was old

We care nothing for the New Era's
assertion that we as a "blatant re-
former" are always trying to reform
the "other fellow" and that it has "yet
to read the irst fair, honest criticism
from his overlooking and ever flow
ing pen, Of an official Of his political
faith" Our record is before the
people on this point and we are will
ling to stand or fall by it. We doubt
not that there have been some cor
rupt men in the Populist party, but
the VOICE has not thought it ex-
pedient to condemn them on lot Of
general charges made by a gang of
politicians who want their places.
We have only to quote an extract
from an editorial published in the
Voice two weeks ago 10 prove the
falsily Of the New Era's assertion:
"The report just made of the House
holder investigations looks as if Sena-
tor Householder had used his trust as
member OF the State Board of Char
tiles to his own private profit, and he
deserves the contempt Of POpulists
even more than Of Republicans, for it
is the cause Of reform he has betrayed
more than the interests of the people
of the state. Such men ought to be
spotted and kept in the rear"

its duty by the people and by its
party, and leave the people to judge
