MIR. WATSON AT ERIE.
He Addresses Large Audience of Far
mers in Kansas

merS III Kansas.
Erie Kansas, Sept 1O.-Thomas F..
Watson, candidate or Vice President on
the Populist ticket, was the central
figure at the county fair here to-day. Mr..
Watson is accompanied by II. w. Reed.
Populist national committeeman, who.
it is said, is here to talk to the anti Pom
ulist managers and make more reasona-
BILE terms for Watson's chance in Kansas
John NJ. Tridenthal, chairman of the
Kansas State Populist central commit
tee, reached this city this morning, and.
half an hour before the Vice Presidential
candidate was booked to make n speech.
had an interview with him. The nature
OF the interview is not known, but as the
Populist leaders in Kansas generally are
said to have opposed Watsons cam
paigning in this State, Tridenthal's mis-
sion is said to have been in the interest
of harmony.
About 1900 people, mostly farmers,
greeted Mr.. Watson when he began his
speech. The speaker said that the work
begun six years ago had not yet been ac-
complished; instead, the situation was
worse. The South and the West, he said,
made written contract to agitate the
tax question, and he asked that the West
fulfill it's contract and stand by the
South. The time for the death of the Pop
ullst party had not arrived, he said, and
continued:
For Gods sake. do not desert the Peo-
pies party now, when the great work has
just begun"
AS to his nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, Mr.. Watson said among other
things:
II am not seeking to be taken oil the
Democratic ticket. I am no political
beBgar. Nor is my party The Demo-
Gratis and Populists ought to unite. The
ticket ought to be the st. Louis ticket.
Bryan, the Democrat, and Watson, the
Populist. Amt that right? say that's
no surrender, it is Il fair compromise.
Turn me down and you lose Texas,
Tennessee, Kentucky. TO elect Bryan,
the Peoples party nominee for Vice Pres
ident must stay on the ticket and 1 say
Watson is going to stay''

of all the people, has been given to a
favored class by laws that were bribed
through Congress, and have been and are
being used to rob the people and create
the millionaire and poverty classes; two
classes antagonistic to each other, and if
permitted to continue will in time destroy
any government which the ingenuity of
man can devise.
The civilizations that fourished on the
Nile, the Gauges and the Euphrates were
blotted out by the blight of Milliouaireism
Pauperisn, and Christian civilization is
following in the old Pagan footsteps.
Spain, Rome and Greece are stepped in
poverty and degradation past hope. The
disease is creeping over western Europe.
The lowest class in Europe is very near
the bottom level of Asia where the line
between the human and the brute is
scarcely observable. Christianity in the
millionaire class is rotten to the core as
Paganism was, system of hollow shams
and forms, while the lowest class curse
the religion that looks upon their misery
and degradation with scorn and without
tear. The middle Glass; is apparently
fighting hopeless battle between these
two corroding cancers, the millionaire
and the pauper. More money and less
misery or America will go the way that
Asia has gone and Europe is fast going.
From Caesar to dissolution was but
few hundred years in the history of Rome.

The failures for the first three
months Of the year were 4512 ac-
cording to Bradstreet's figures, the
largest since 1878. At this rate
the failures will foot up over 1000
for the year 1896, and the Repub-
lican and Democrat parties are ask
ing the people to retain them in
power!
The aggregate liabilities is $685.
513,926. This aggregate of losses
in business by bankrupt firms and
individuals has never been equaled.
If the losses hold through the year
more than $3.50, 900, 900 will be lost
and swept into the pockets of the
gold ring, depicting the wealth of
the people to that amount; swelling
the millionaire class and increasing
the army of poverty and tramps.

When the almost two solid columns in
small type are looked over, in the Balti-
more papers, publishing the titles of Acts
passed by the Maryland legislature, most
people will conclude that body has been
pretty busy. The great bulk of these
laws are local, requiring but little time in
putting them through. 1t will require a
practical test to prove the merits or de-
merits of the Assessment law, the one act
on which all eyes were turned.
The free school book law is another act
of general interest. The school law needs
a good deal more adjusting or readjusting.
A large part of the very limited period
which the public schools are open is
wasted in foolish holidays, which greatly
demoralizes the schools as any honest
teacher will bear witness to. Commenc-
ing with Good Friday" vacation of
four successive days was had, serious
loss to the pupils in the interruption of
their studies. Onr Public School system
as administed is no less than waste of
public money and an abuse of public
trust, which the officers and teachers of
the schools are not responsible for but a
defective and vicious law. Do the people
in the pursuit of their ordinary business
observe these numerous foolish holidays !?
Not much. Christmas and the Fourth of
July-aud many not the latter-are about
all they care for. If the world is looked
over it will be found the most super
stitious aud ignorant nations celebrate the
most church holidays.

The prohibition party are having what
the ''b'hoys" call high old time" over
the platform they are to stand on Those
appear to recognize the eternal fitness of
things who contend for a single plank.
Keeping in view the size of the party one
plank ought to afford ample standing
room for all. While the leaders have
been holly discussing the dominant
ISSUE" and giving their views on the
''broad gauge" and marrow gauge"
policy, this dominant reason does not
appear to have occurred to any of them,
i. E., that one plank will easily accom-
modate the entire party with standing
room to spare.
We wonder at otherwise sensible per-
sons to be serious at acting such a farce
as the party has grown to be in these
piping times. And to really believe, or
seem to believe, that the conditions which
are pressing the great labor and indus
trial classes down into the darkness and
despair of absolute poverty and every
physical want, can be turned aside,
ignored, while the question of prohibit
ton of the liquor traffic is being consid-
cred and disposed of One is tempted to
ask if persons entertaining such belief at
the present time can be of sound mind
But the prohibition party, like the other
two old political parties, is the property OF
the goldites. The money power foots the
b lis.

Gold Standard and Poverty for the
People.

The gold standard cannot be
maintained by borrowing. That
admits Of no argument. It can
only be done by forcing prices down
much below their present level. In
order to sell produce enough in
foreign markets to meet the demand
for gold amounting to about $780,
600, 900 annually we must not only
undersell the East Indian, the
Argentine and the Russian, at
the lowest price at which they can
possibly go. The idea of such a
contest should be enough to fill
every American heart with despair.

THE TRACKS CLEARED.-The tracks
of the Southern Railway which were
blocked by the collision between q
freight train and work train at Ra-
vensworth yesterday were not cleared
till this morning when trains began
running rs usual. Yesterday and last
night through trains were run by way
of the Washington Southern road, but
local trains had to be detained and
many passengers spent last night in the
cars at the depot here. By the coils
ion both engines were damaged and
two cars broken up. The engineers
and fremen jumped of just as their
engines came together, and escaped
unhurt. One of the engines, very
heavy one, was turned over on its side
and falling across the track caused
much delay in removing it. The south
bound train it is said had sent a flag
man ahead who was picked up at Fair
fax by the northbound train. The lat
ter train, after picking up the fagman,
was proceeding under CONTROL" ex-
pecting to meet the work train on
straight track. Instead of doing SO the
two trains met on curve in cut.

MISSING MAN.-Jacob Brown, for
several years connected with the dry
goods firm of Isaac Eichberg g. Sons, of
this city, has been missing from his
home here for several weeks. A num-
Der of rumors are in circulation, some
more or less critical, regarding his pro-
cedure, and his whereabouts is giving
his friends and family much uneasi.
ness. He told people when he left
that he was going to New York, but
he has never made his appearance in
that city, so far as can be learned.
Brown asked of friend in this city
the nearest route to point in
South Africa where he had pros
porous acquaintance and friend. A
chart was furnished him and he has
had time to pass through Suez canal.
1t is feared by some that trouble has
unbalanced his mind. Brown married
Miss England several years ago. He
is an Israelite by birth, but his wife
is Gentle. The fact that he has
taken but little interest in his family
has been a subject of comment for some
time among those living in his neigh
borhood.
