CRUSTS, STATE AND NATIONAL.

It's only question of time when they'll get
there without buying.
A bill is before the house to raise the tax
OH beer another dollar per barrel That's right.
The topper will never miss the amount taken
out of each glass, and Great Britain demands
her blood money.
If robbing the people to stuff official pockets
were treason, the president of certain Repub-
lie would soon quit angling and go to dangling.
The Rothschilds ask the people $I3,ooo,oo
premium on the last bond steal. Who says the
Cleveland Carlisle bank account hasn's swelled
proportionately Who?
The Kansas City Star has found mares
nest. 1t says the women of Kansas are going
to rebel and set up government of their own.
If the first administration don't boycott the Star,
its sucker.
They say that Ben Harrison has his matri-
monial eye on the Widow Stanford. That
wouldn't be exactly a union of ''the world, the
flesh and the Devil" but it would be of the
Pacific railroad, Wall street and the Republican
party, which is about the same thing. Wade
in, Ben, and put the huckleberry in your pres
idential pie.
When the Kansas City Star said word in
favor of Lewelling, lately, the sun showed the
first sign of stopping it has since the days of
Ahab
The greenback must go. Capital demands
it, the Devil sanctions it, and all hell conspires
with Old and New England to accomplish it.
Only GodIand the poor will do any kicking, and
the poor don't recognize the latter combination
If you want to know how the "redeemers"
have redeemed our frst-class cities, and you
haven't access to Morrill's prediction contracts
Just note the smile on the face of the whisky
drummer.
Pullman swore he was running his shops at a
loss to give employment to labor, and his lick
spittles shout, GLOW noble how charitable!'
Now it appears, officially, that his net profits
that very year were over $4,000, ooo-S per
cent dividends on watered stock, and So, ooo,
600 for the surplus fund. What became of An
nanias?
Benedict Arnold Hughes has gone to look for
McGinty, at the bottom of the sea of oblivion
Like the fellow in the big flood, he has been
buffeting the waves hoping the Republican ark
of safety would take him on board. Since our
old salt of governor refused to stink up his
hat-boat with that kind of carcass, nothing
has been seen but few bubbles on the surface.
Sic semper traitorandicusl
Poor George Pullman pulled whole year to
make for his company one-fourth OF what the
Cleveland Carlisle conspiracy made with dash
of the pen. Scrub up, George, or you'll soon
be rusty old back number
Our $500 900, 900 of legal-tender paper is the
red flag that sets the capitalistic bull to paving
dirt 1t must be destroyed, if so doing wipes
out half the paltry values left the people. By
that process, the present small home-owner is
made tenant laborer, and the present day la
borer tramp. When one class is forced down
a notch, all below sink correspondingly.
Now you have it. The "redeemers' have
bill before the Kansas Legislature repeating the
Populist stay law on foreclosure of mortgages,
to suit Banker Morrill, and eastern capital. Too
bad the old Shylock can't sell bonds like his
running mate, Grover, but, unfortunately,
Lewelling left full treasury.
The little band of Spartans in congress, bet
ter known as Populists, can't secure much re-
form legislation, but the way they stick thorns
into the old parties is great satisfaction to the
people.
And now comes the Troy Chief and draws
comparison between Populists and Republicans,
favorable to the former. Heavens! if this thing
don't stop, the Pop party will be ruined!
Didn't Bob Ingersoll, the great ognasty, say
"the American flag is covered all over with
6-orc;o1 bororeV2 That's oue of the mistakes
