ISRAELITES and PHILISTINES.
Are Trying to Make a "Wash- Pot
of the United States.
A NEW VIEW OF HISTORY.

From an editorial article in that little
periodical of protest" The Philistine,
we extract the following interesting de-
Tense of the hosts of the Philistines
against the Chosen Children Of Israel:
There lived in the Far East about
5000 years ago a tribe of people known
as the Philistines. 1t is a hotly mooted
question among the theologians whether
they were SO called because they lived
in Philistia, or whether Philistia took it's
name on account of being peopled by
PhiMstines. / will not take sides in this
issue, but hedge closely and simply stand
firm on the fact that tribe called the
Philistines existed. Near them lived the
Invites, the Moabites, the Canaanites,
the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Perizzites,
the Ammonites, and the Gothamites.
Now among these tribes none were so
strong, none so intelligent, none so vir-
tuous as the PhiliStineS.
And it came to pass that the superior
quality Of moral fibre in the Philistines
caused the entire country to be known as
Philistia; it was the general name given
to the whole valley of the Jordan. And
the name endures even unto this day.
Palestine means the Land of the Phil
istines
And it seems that among them there
was rude sense of right and wrong.
For IL man owned a piece Of ground
and planted a vine. ON it, and then
watered and tended the vine, the grapes
that grew on this vine were his, and all
| Of the people agreed to this and the man
and his neighbors knew all this without
a Dispensation.
These people planted vineyards, and
had gardens and fields OF wheat and bar
ley. They had barns with threshing
floors, and they had carts, plows and
other implements. They builded houses
and owned their homes; and the men
loved their wives and their children; and
the women were the comrades Of the men
all taking part in the sports as well as
in the work, for they were a merry, hap
py people.
Now about thirteen centuries before
Christ, while they were living in peace
and property, there swooped down upon
them a horde Of escaped slaves, called
Israelites. These slaves had broken away
| from their masters in Egypt. The coun-
try to which they travelled was only
about 300 miles from Egypt, but as their
average speed was less than a mile a
week, it took them 40 years to make the
| journey. III
The man who led these slaves in their
fight was one Moses who had killed a
man in Egypt and fed. After many
years Of exile he had been in Philistia
! and liked it, he returned and led the ex-
| odus. When the Israelites left,
they took all the gold and silver or
nauaents and utensils they could borrow
| ond melted them up. And they were
| not ashamed Of this act, for they have
| written it down In the third chapter 81
| q book called Exodus. The ancient IL
| raelites never had any clear Ideas Of the
rights Of property. When they found

wrong about this. but cannot help hav-

GOOD TIMES.

Good times are not far off. Everything
political points to their being very near
at hand. In 1860, while commodities
were not so low as now, labor was very
much lower and there were as many out
of employment. During that year par
ties broke up into fragments; thieves
fell out, and laboring men, soon after,
got their just Dues
Slave-holding was beaten at the ballot
box, and then at the point of the bayonet.
In 81. in less than one years time
wages jumped from so cents and a 81 per
day to So and 81 per day, and then the
price remained until 80. At this time the
bond-hOlder superseded the old slave
holder, and still rules the nation
In 1873, the bond-holders demonetized
silver, and as a result, panic followed,
and prices of commodities fell 70 per
cent, and wages dropped 60 per cent
and three millions of men were thrown
out of employment.
From 1869 unit. the present time both
old parties have been in partnership, and
have worked together in introducing
every system to bear down the price OF
commodities and labor to the point
reached before the war, and in that they
have at last been successful.
For 20 years these old parties have
been shaking their fists at each other,
each accusing the other, when in public,
of being the thief; but as soon as the
election was over. and the curtain
dropped, they at once banqueted togeth-
er upon the spoils.
Today the American people see
through this fraud and deception. They
are mad through and through; they are
resolute and determined. Already the
old parties are breaking up as in 1860.
Both these old frauds will be beaten at
the ballot box. They will then fight as
did the shareholders, and they with
their hond-holding system will share the
same fate as that which befell the slave
holder and the slave-system. and once
more the people will get control OF gov
ernment, then the people will issue their
own money as in 81, and once more
prices will go up to the point reached
during the SOS.
Had the shareholders unloaded their
slaves upon the government for money
they would have saved their holdings.
Now in the face Of the coming storm,
let us see if the thieving bond-holders
will profit by the shareholders exper-
fence.
We will soon have good times again
for the working people. Vermont Kicker

FIERY SPEECH BY BELFORD.

Denver, June 26.-Onc Of the most
notable features Of the state silver
convention yesterday was fiery
speech by ex- Congressman James h.
Belford. in the course Of which he
said:
II regret that the Democratic con-
vention does not meet in the City OF
Denver. When Whitney came with
his barrel Of Standard Oil and his bar
rel Of money to prevent the ccnycn-
tion from doing its duty, would be-
one OF twelve to hang the scoundrel
higher than Haman.. / WANT to know
ii there is backbone and courage and
manliness in the Democratic party
here to tell the men down In New
York: 'Gentlemen, the tribes of
judah and OF Benjamin ruled In the
ancient kingdom OF Israel, but, by tho
living God, neither the Lewis nor Benz
jamins Of Ohio or New York shall
rule this convention.

WHAT SENATOR PEFFEFR THINK:

WHAT SENATOR PEFFEFR THINKS.
Washington, June Ex-senator PETER
leaves today for home. Before starting,
he said, concerning the Populistic atti-
tude on the presidential question:
"The recent pronunciamentO of the
Populist gentlemen at st. Louis, urging
the Democratic convention to nominate
Mr.. Teller, was, in my judgment, an i'm
pertinence, and it was treacherous, so
fas as it attempted to speak for the Pop
ulist party as a whole. These gentlemen
spoke without authority from the Pop
ulist party, and do not believe the party
will sustain them. They had not con-
ferred with the party, and had been
given no commission to speak for it.
Personally, I have high regard for Mr..
Teller, but have no idea that the old
party spirit Of the Democratic organiza-
tion will be so far relaxed as to bring
about his nomination. s
"And, in any event. do not think ex-
listing conditions warrant Populist in
| dorsement of the Democratic presiden-
tial ticket, even though the nominee for
free Silver and the platform contains a
positively free silver declaration. re-
gard the integrity and perpetuity Of
the POpulist party as essential to carry
ing out the PLATFORM we nave eSpOuSe0.
The money question is but one of these.
While the Democratic convention doubt
less will be for free silver, yet it will not
be expressive of those other great ques-
tions of land tenure and Of labor which
| the Populist party regards as vital.
! had hoped that there might be some
amalgamation OF Democrats, Populists,
silver men and all others In q new dec
laration Of principles, and, II need be-
q new name. But the time for that has
gone by, and all that remains is for the
Populist party to retain its integrity by
nominating its own candidates on It's
own platform.
! Concerning the Populist candidates, i
|. personally favor the nomination of Gov
Holcombe, Of Nebraska, for first place on
