WHAT great good for the weary and
heavy laden can be accomplished by
one truly good, fearless, nervy practical
mani Mayor Pingree of Detroit has,
almost unasslsted, entirely so, so far as
those called influential" are con-
cerned, secured three cent street car
fares for the people of the city. This
means a saving Of an enormous sum,
when it is figured the thousands who
ride every dav. Besides all this he
has inaugurated the system of putting
the idle poor to farming the vacant lots
and thousands of the erstwhile mendi.
cants are made self-suppOrting. While
this work was being done by him he
endured all descriptions of threats
from the heelers of the corporations
whose profits have been shortened, and
spurned bribes of all sums. While
men who sit in their studies theorize
and evolve all manner of schemes for
saving mankind, from changing the
method of the application of water, to
world theories and specifications of
Bellamy plans, Mayor Pingree in the
little city Of Detroit puts his hand
firmly to the wheel, and saying or
thinking nothing that seemed at all
extraordinary to the simplest, finds a
way for at least large beginning in
ameliOrating the ills of mankind.
Mayor Sutro Of San Francisco is an.
other Of the same kind, who has accom-
pllshed almost if not qnite as much.
Their methods were simple and popu-
liStic. Pingree knew full we'll that

THE POLITICIANS PLATFORm.

l. We believe that the doctrine of
the brotherhood of man is rank social
ism, that socialism is anarchy, and that
people holding such wicked opinions
should be hanged without trial.
2. We do not believe in the doctrine
of natural rights. People should have
no rights that they cannot purchase
with money.
8. We believe that land, air, water,
coal. oil and every other natural thing
should be owned Oy corporations. and
that the PEOPLE should be compelled to
pay eXorDltant prices to the corpora
tions for these things.
1. We believe that the poor people
should be kept as ignorant as possible
about soc al questions. They should
not be encouraged to discuss such Ques-
tions and that those who do so should
be styled cranks and anarchists by all
respectable people. Poor people should
study religion and temperance but
not politics.
5. We believe that the great masses
of the people should not be allowed to
have homes in this world. We should
rather encourage them to seek homes
after they are dead, People who have
homes in this world are too indepeud
eut and too saucy. They are easier
managed when they have to rent
homes from the rich.
6. We believe that over-production
and the foreigner is the cause Of the
present bad times and low prices Of
commodities. We have too much of
everything; that IS what is the matter;
too much wheat, too much corn, too
much cotton, too many horses, too
many cattle, too many hogs, too many
sheep, too many men, too many women
too much and too many everything,
over production; too many worlds and
too many stars.
I. We believe that the best condi-
tion of humanity is where few peo-
pie, and the fewer the better, own all
the land and all the wealth of the
country, and the great mass of the
people are compelled 10 work or starve.
Rich people should do the thinking for
the poor and the poor should do the
working for the rich. This is social
perfection.
s. We believe that money should be

THE Roentgen ray has found its way
into court aud it appears that the dis
penser OF expert testimony" in NAL
practice cases and the like will soon be
decidedly antique and out of fashion.
When there is some controversy about
NAL settingOf bones ETC., they will just
shoot an x.rsy into it and settle the
matter on the spot without half a day
cross questioning of some expert that
is sure the few old dry bones used to
illustrate with belong to a right arm
and then is just as sure they were taken
from the left. AS Kansas leads in all
things, it is only proper and natural
that a Kansas court should be the first
to utilize the new thing.

based upon gold, because that would
enrich the few who own gold, and
would not enrich anybody else. Max
ing gold the basis of money increases
the demand for 1t and raises its price
1t is one of thu necessary steps to
make few very Iich and the rest very
poor.
8. We believe that any kind OF
money that can be 30 controlled as to
change the price Of things as much as
possible is good money. The more
prices can be Changed the better it is
for rich people. 1t helps them to get
possession of all the wealth of the
country, and this is the end most to be
desired.
10. We believe that high tariff is a
good thing, because it takes the taxes
mostly from the poor people and least
from the rich. Poor people are so
much more numerous than the rich,
and therefore consume so much more
that IL makes taxes light on those who
own everything and heavy on those
who own nothing. This is as it should
be.
IL. We believe in humbuGgjng poor
people by telling them that a tariff
raises wages. Fools, they believe this
and hug Lhe CHAINS that bind them. 1t
serves them right; fools ought to be
fooled.
u. We believe that railways and
telegraphs ought to be built by the
people and then donated to the cOrpO-
rations with power to tax the people
three or four times what the service
is worth. II the people owned the
railways and operated them we would
not have so many milliOnaires in this
country, and the poor titled rakes Of
Europe could not come over here and
marry millionaire American girls as
they do now; nor would we have so
many millionaires going over to Europe
to spend their fortunes among the
lords of Europe, These are unsnswer-
able objections to the public ownership
of railroads.
Is. We believe the people are incom-
petenJ to govern themselves, and that
the best form of government is the rep
reseDtative form. This form of gov
ernment gives the representatives u
good chance to fry the faU out of the
who are always willing to
pay for such laws as they want.
IA. We are opposed to the people
having direct legislation through the
initiative and referendum principle be-
cause It would make it more diEFeult to
get laws favoring the milIiOnaires. 1t
would take more money to bYibe the
whole people than to bribe the repre-

on that basis and after hot campaign
got a franchise for it, to compete with

interpreted to mean an endorsement of

"FOR cons SAKE, BE PATIENT :

Let every man guard his utterances
carefully, Let kindness and goodwill
prevail on all sides; and do not insist,
as some are doing, that the free silver
ties must accept every plank of the
peoples party platform. The very
idea Of having two conventions is that
men may vote together who differ
somewhat in their opinions.
The two platforms of the two con-
ventlons will not be hostile to each
other, but one may possess planks
which the other does not. This will
be all the difference between the two
wings of the great army of reform.
If we fail to unite at st. Louis the
results Will be most disastrous-they
may be irremediable. Think how
many hundred thousand of good, true,
honest American citizens will be driven
out of their homes, with their families,
and reduced to pauperism by mortgage
foreclosures and otherwise, If plutocracy
is to continue in power for four years
longer!
Think to what extremes the despers-
tion of the wretched may drive the
multitude-to be followed by repres-
sion, perhaps, by standing armies and
radical changes in our form of govern
ment. This may be our last national
election.

THE Co-Operator is advocating that
the State school fund be loaned to
farmers upon their land as gilt edged
security. 1t says: "The Kansas school
fund has 5000, 600 that the commission
ers talk of investing in United States
bonds which will produce about three
per cent at present prices. Kansas
farmers are paying about eight per
cent for money secured on their farms,
while gilt-edged business men pay ten
10 twelve per cent for short time accom-.
modations. Will some plutocrat tell
as why that school fund surplus should
not be loaned to Kansas men at five or
six per cent, and thus save money to
Kansas tax payers by reducing interest
rates and increasing the income of the
schoolsg" This system of loaning on
good improved land security has been
tried in Oregon and is said to work
oharmingly. The school fund draws
more interest for the schools ard the
farmers pay less for the use of the
money and the only individual harmed
is the broker. If you say the business
will not be properly done it is indeed
a sorry commentary upon the intelli-
gence and integrity of the men whom
the people honor higher than any 9th.

PROF. T. ]. Lawrence, of Cambridge
University, is recognized as high au-
thOrity on International law. Con-
cerning the effects following our recOg-
milton of the Cubans as belligerents,
should it be done, he says, ut will en-
dow the community with the rights
and all the obligations of an independ-
ent state so far as the war is concerned
but no further. Its armies are lawful
belligerents, not bsnditti; its ships of
war are lawful cruisers, not pirates;
the supplies it takes from invaded ter
ritorV are requlsitions, not robbery,
Its blockades must be respected by
neutrals." In the light of this infor-

The murderer, Holmes written con-
fessiOn is certainly one Of the most
CHASTITY, tiendish and clammy in the
annals of crime. 1t is written in u
brevity and clearness of diction that is
almost as remarkable as it is cold
blOoded. 1t shows him to be a man of
intelligence also equal to his deviltry.
His dissertation on his own criminal
degeneracy as exhibited on the scien-
tiic Bertillion system of changes in
the bony structure of the skull and
face, is given with scientific interest
bordering on delight. In the recital of
his twenty-seven murders hardly
twinge of remOrse is evident, but his
obdurate vanity is eminent in almost
every line. He is an anomaly, crea-
ture abnormal, genius and a devil.

foundation is brick; first story, clap

There is a ccmentcd cellar under the

supplied with hot air heat from the

being made of black Jipanned iron,

On the second floor there are three

This design can be built facing any
point of the compass as long as the
furnace is placed as neal north as
possible. then the cold winds from the
north during the winter will not choke
up the hot air from the furnace to the
rooms. 1t is a common belief with the
inexperienced builder that a house
should face the south in order to insure
warmth. While this is preferable, yet
1t is not actually needful as long as the
winds do not interfere with the
