THE HIRED MAN IDEA.

The human tOilers of this world rep
resent the great majority. For ages
the laborer, although in an overwhelm-
ing majority. has been but an incident
OF civilization. He is about to become
the prime factor in the governments
of the world. As human being it is
coming 10 him that his life, loves, as
pirations and all are just as much of
importance as those of the king or his
noble. ~ might ceases to be the only
right which humanity IS bound to re
spect. the men who make and create
all that belongs TO civilization worth
having, are getting into position TO de-
lnand that right only shall make might
So today in the United States. in
France. as also in fact under the crown
ed heads of England and Germany, the
laborer is being appealed 10 IN every
election. And so we see labor organ

everywhere, in its demands Tor an
equitable recognition. The acts Of the
great Trades Union congress, now in
session IN Edinburgh. Scotland. VIII

world would Go well 10 note its de-
mands. There IS. 80 FAR as we can sac.
nothing q the character of socialism"
or anarichistic vaporings. none Of the

equitable status between labor and

OF labor without denying any right

TIT FOR TAT.

Owing to the balance OF trade being
in our favor, and because of other eco
nomical conditions, some Of the vast
volumes Of gold which went from this
country TO Europe has commenced to
flow back, and the Bank of England
raises the rate of discount four-fold-
This raising of the rate is TO discourage
Withdrawals OF gold from the Bank OF
England for shipment TO America An
other result is depression in the prices
Of stocks and securities and such a
prostration of trade as Will tend TO
curtail the demand for money in Lon
don. The English papers say that TINS
action may be looked upon as unfair
by Americans, but that America must
look out for her own finances. why
doesn't the British government follow
the eminent example of Grover Cleye-
land and sell few hundred million or
gold bearing interest bonds to some
American syndicate? Such course
might start free silver craze in Lon
don, but it is a great way TO raise the
ready money, as it would avoid such
sudden and unexpected increases in
the discount rate. The action OF the
British bank is knocking the bottom
out Of American securities held in Eng
land, and it S expected that the holders
of these securities will be forced to
throw them back onto the American
market, which would result in stop
ping or at least counterbalancing the
movement of gold from London to New

SOMEBODY SOLD OUT.

Tom Watson has reached Kansas and
has made n speech, somewhat of which
was sent the Eagle yesterday morn
Ing from Erie, NeoSho county. Watson
is on his way TO Nebraska, and his trip
means trouble for fusion, not only in
Kansas but wherever the dicker was
made. The Pops got everything in
Kansas upon the agreement that the
Democrats were to name the presiden-
tial electors which they did. and which
stand for Bryan and Sewan. Now
that the Pops have got their end of the
: bargain secured, Tom Watson or
Georgia steps in, and in the name Of
honest(0 and complete national fusion,
as well as state fusion, demands that
his name take the place of that Of the
Maine millionaire. In this demand he
has the sympathies OF the body Of the
Pom marty in Kansas, who do not care
what their bosses did in the way Of
dicter. If Tom Watson has his way
the Democrat bosses of Kansas who
sold out their party will in turn be sold
out themselves.
Tom Watson besides being typical
Georgian is intensely pig-headed. The
Populist national convention at ST.
Louis asked but for the second place
and Tom Watson was named for 1t.
In leaving him off the ticket the Demo
cratic party has no claim on the Popu-
list vote. Watson made several dec
Iarations in his Dallas, Texas, speech
which Bryan and his crowd would do
we'll not TO ignore or overlook lie
pledged his word that Bryan would ac-
cept him as his running mate, and at
the same time declared that Bryan
would formally accept his St Louis
nomination. In that speech he de-
nounced his rival, Sewall in language
typical of the demagogue, as a railroad
monopolist, a tool Of the capitalist, a
bump on a log in this campaign and a
candidate who cannot carry his own
election district or his own family.
Whether there is a private under
standing between Watson and Bryan
or hot, Watson's appearance in Kansas
means trouble. Breidenthal went
down to Erie to meet Watson, no doubt
with the intention of making explana-
tons whereby a halt on Watson's dec
larations might be called. But Wat
son would not liSen TO him. Watson
was nominated At St Louis first, Bryan
coming second. solely for the purpose
of emphasizing the determination that
Sewall should be slaughtered in the in
terest OF the south and Pcpulism. So
his words at Dallas would seem to in
dictate a bunco game on the man from
Maine. AS for Bryan. nobody has been
able to get n word from him since his
nomination. His action in refusing to
20 up into Maine indicates that he
knew that Sewall was 10 be turned
down in the end. On the top Of all
this is Watson's unequivocal decIar-
alton that Bryan viii not only accept
the 81. Louis nomination but accept
Watson also.

falo grass. Mr.. Tutsen has been a
pioneer all his life almost, he is 63
years of age, as straight as an arrow
and prepared for any sort of weather.
There are no Indications OF atmos-
pherio commissions, however. The air
is dry. the sky brassy and the very
memory of moisture fading away.
one of the great troubles in this coun-
try is the difficulty of trails. a driver
unacquainted with the country must
hit and miss as best he can Most Of
it is guess. There are many trails,
but there is only one correct one to
the confused traveller. Nearly all the
trails are dim. 1t is frequent prac-
tee to crawl out and examine any
tracks which may appear. The main
Travelled road is usually the best, but
the strange driver is liable to swing
off from it and get completely lost, I'M
less he watches the road constantly.
AS soon as we reached Greer county,
the gauge of the wagons changed
They are broad-gauged. This comes
from the government wagons which
are so constructed. the custom being
adopted by the people in this section
This makes it rather difficult driving
with a narrow gagged vehicle.
All along the road arbors are to be
seen. These are built by putting up a
number of tree trunks, fOrked at the
ton. On these forks are placed over
long trunks and over this framework
brush is piled heavily. Rough benches
are placed beneath this, and "the meet
ing house" of western Oklahoma is
complete. REVEALS appear to be the
most frequent attractions in these ar
bors.
Since leaving Cheyenne, we have
seen one church. This was near the

Mr.. Doxey mounted his horse and rode

So far as / can find the people out

not believe that cereal farmers could

WEARING M'KINLEY OUT.

There ought to be some plan hit upon
to relieve Governor Mckinley from the
campaign pressure 10 which he is being
subjected. If he could go off on q
speaking tour, delivering short adj
dress or two, he could keep up and
come out all right. But the national
committee so far will not listen to such
q proposition. Such course would
relieve him of the flood of kilograms,
letters. individual visitors and delega-
tons daily precipitated upon him. Ma
jor Mckinley is rugged man but he is
being worn out, it is said, by the IN
ending string Of ardent campaigners,
well-wiShers, and the continuous flow
of kilograms and letters demanding i'm
mediate attention. If he cannot go off
on a speaking tour he will be COM
PEELED to leave his Canton home for
somewhere. Importuned, interviewed,
wired and besought every hour of the
day. in addition to addressing delega-
tions innumerable, is telling upon him
and making life burden. BY the
time he is elected he will have to take
to the woods, for then will come a pres
sure of office-seekers of the kind which
has killed at least two presidents at
time when there were not half so many
DIaceS to fill.

NO ExTRA SESSION WANTED.

In the event of McKinley's election,
which every DAY grows more certain,
we do not want an extra session OF
congress, as is being intimated by east
ern papers. With such q restoration
of confidence as would come through
his election. and consequent general
revival of business, the revenues would
prove abundantly adequate. Upon the
other hand the apprehension is to what
an extra session of congress might or
might not do would leave the country
in q state OF uncertainty, with all OF the
present distrust remaining Every
body knowing what the policy of Re-
nublican administration under Mckin-
ley would be. there could be no ques-
lions of the present or doubts for the
future. With no threatened extra SEES
sion. within thirty days, or by the first
OF December, there would be marked
Improvement everywhere and along all
lines. In fact that which is most
sought in McKinley's election IS con-
fdence and stability. The next regu-
lar session. of course, would overhaul
the tariff law, wipe out its inequalities
and abundantly protect all those inter-
ests which are 50 dead and inactive
now. but all these would in the mean
time take on new life. Upon the other
hand the election of Bryan would not
only mean an extra session of congress
next March but such an overturning
policy as no one could foresee its re-
suits. No one even knows or claims
to know what the immediate result of
free coinage act would be. Universal
apprehension and distTust would reign
until the thing had been tried on, in
connection with the many other
schemes proposed by the Chicago plat
form. Bryan himself acknowledges
that there would, probably, ensue q
great panic. His only excuse is that
an extreme case must be submitted to
heroic treatment.
What is now wanted is a removal of
all apprehension, the dispelling of all
doubt. These the election of Mckinley
will insure without any extra session
OF CONGRESS

ALONESOME CROWD.

The cold gold" party IS destined to

will be some whistling upon the part
of the nominees in the way of reinforc-
ing their courage, and Dana, with his
Sun. will now and then attempt the
Roentgen ray act in the way Of render
ne the gloom that enshrouds their path
way visible, but there is little prospect
of animation or comfort for the hosts
who took their lives in their hands and
rushed to Indianapolis, resolving TO do
or die. That they will all be there
when the country is finally saved there
is no doubt, including the lone Usher
man of BuZzard's Bay and his Official
household. And doubtless they Will
be the recipients Of congratulations,
but not over any single township which
they carried. The official returns for
them will show but beggaredly array
of numerals, hardly as many as would
cover their electors and election officers
in tie various states, yet they VIII be
made TO feel that they were strictly in
it. Maybe they will have been. Maybe
they are.
