sure. Of the brain divides it into
two halves, called hemispheres =
These words from d phy siologist
ran into my mind while reading
q. E Johnson's article in a re-
cent issue Of the TRIBUNE; and I
was forced to the onclusion that
the hemispheres Of his brain took
turns at working while he was
writing. Hemis sphere No. 1
starts off very hopefully: =.
"We honestly hope that the
promises made during the cam
paign by them (the republicans
will come to pass, and to all pros.
perity may come. - -< =.
And further down the same
brain half says: W - 49,.
What is the difference wheth-
err such laws beneficial TO the
common class of people, are en-.
acted through. the one party or
the other?' - r.. r.
| IF Mr. johnson S whole brain
concurred in honestly hoping
tor prosperity through republic
can Legislation he would be per-
fectly consistent in leaving the
peoples party and he ought to
join the republicans. The ques-
lion might be as to what has
transpired since election to kim
die this hope in his breast. Did
not every free silver orator and
organ declare that no prosperity
could come till the financial trust
was crushed by the adoption Of
free silver? If so, what makes
him so hopeful now? Is it the be-
lief that Mckinley will succeed
in bringing about international
| bimetallism? If so he ought to
communicate that hope to the
other half of his brain. just re-

Hemisphere No. l, and then lis

never will until they are brought
down to financial ruin, aud we
believe that will in the end be the
only remedy to purge the cor
ruption of American politics by
a general uprising Of the people.
The present laws, and especially
the monetary stem Of this gov
eminent. will never remedy or
better conditions. - and further
on: We look upon it as useless
to agitslte these questions, ar
rayed against a power that can
hold a nation in it's grasp, and
through the agency of a greedy
money money power, can with a
single stroke Of the pen, dictate
to a nation their will. That
means power, and a power most

:. Methinks I hear the VOICE of
some fanatical Pop, :reverbera-
ting through the corridors of
time,'' proclaiming that we are
on the verge Of moral and fnan-
cial ruin. Hemisphere No. is
evidently firmly fixed in the
principles of populism, But
whatsd oes he propose TO do? See
ing the nation in the grasp Of this
dread power, what does he pro.
pose? *z=.s
