Some one kicked on the Atchison
GIabe because it didn't say nice things
about man who died The relatives
wanted the paper to say that the de-
cased was a great and good man and
that the community had suffered an ir-
reparable loss in his death. The paper
says: THE Globe didn't say that be-
cause is was not true, The man was
worthless. lazy, shiftless, unreliable
and dishonest TO Tell the truth at
such time would be terrible. He is
not an angel in heaven now, the Lord
didn't call him home, his family is not
plunged in grief, the community is not
bowed down, and the state has not lost
a good citizen, and We refuse to say So"

And There You Are.

Before we 90 any further in this
campaign will some free silver ad-
vocate answer this question: "If
the United States by its fiat can
make fifty cents worth of silver
worth dollar, why can it not by
its fiat make piece Of paper worth
ar"-Lawrence Journal.
The constitution of the United
States, article s, section 5, says:
Congress shall have power to coin
money and to regulate the value
thereof" Our St. Louis Republican
platform adds: "By and with the
consent Of England" The fiat val
ue Of paper seems as yet unregulat-
ed by either the constitution or the
St. Louis platform. As the consti-
tuition declares the United States can
independently regulate the value of
coin money, and the St. Louis plat
form adds, not without consent. Of
England The Journal will have to
60 some where else for an answer to
its fiat paper proposition. The sit
uation seems to have run down so
far as the United States Of America
is concerned to an issue OF Indepen-
dence and Dependence. The Dec
laration Of l776 and the constitution
says you can and Wall street says
you can't and there you are.-Wich.

was untrue then and is still untrue.
We stated then that Populist nation
al headquarters have never been
located at Indianapolis, and the
Mail early in the spring months
printed a windy story about the
Populists Of Indiana having resolved
to disband. 1t has never printed a
denial OF this story and its readers
have become so mixed by its mean
derings on Populist lore that the
only way they can tell whether they
are going or coming is to put the
Mail down as an all-around falsifer.
That some Populists are going to
Chicago we do not care to deny.
That, since the Republican party has
thrown off its mask and declared for
the gold standard, there is a desire
that some plan may be devised
whereby the entire silver vote may
be massed against goldbugism, is
also true, and we consider the effort
laudable.
Just how it will be done time alone
can tell, but if it is done we warn
the institution across the way, which
has been so prolific of false prophecy
concerning the Populist party, so
conSiderate of its welfare, that the
silver movement which it used so
recently to champion as against
goldbugism, will take an overwhelm-
ing stride toward the success it used
to prophecy for it, and that outside
of New England there will not be a
grease spot left of the Republican
party. The "honeSt" fellows into
whose hands the Populist party
should have fallen will then be try
ing to Chamber in out of the wet at
the back door. Stand still, Andy,
and see the salvation of the Lord!

The nomination Of Governor Alt
geld in Illinois by the Democrats
was something remarkable. In the
early part of his term he made him
self very unpopular for pardoning
the '"Chicago anarchists" Demo-
cratic papers everywhere denounced
him. He seems now to be first in
the hearts Of the Illinois people. He
stood up before the state convention
and told them he could not be their
candidate, that his health was too
poor to undertake the canvass, that
they must select someone else. The
convention got right up on its feet
and howled mo" Upon a poll of
the convention every vote was for
Altgeld despite his withdrawal, and
he was forced to run. The newspa.
pers are power, but they can't al
ways kill a man-especially in times
like these.
We have never read the story of
those Chicago anarchists, but our
attention is called to the following
extract from the record of empanel-
ing the jury. If the whole trial was
as unfair as this, it is no wonder

vent you from rendering an Impartial
