said that several hundred negro voters

Judge Ray states that he will push
his petition for nomination as Pop
ulist and make the race whether the
convention dominates him Saturday
or not. No one will question his
right to do so. This is free country.
The voters likewise have the same
right to sign or not sign his petition.
The VOICE can not see where any
Populist can find any excuse to sign
his petition. He has refused to
abide by the will of large majority
of the party and sets himself up Su-
perior 10 the party. Every Populist
supporter he secures will weaken
the Populist nominee that much and
aid the election of a Republican
judge. 1t will be necessary for him
to get about 700 petitioners before
he can get on the official ballot. I'm
less the Republicans assist him
largely he will fail. When his petit
ton is completed and filed the

tics of every signer, so that the peo-
pie may see who is responsible for

Tom Reed and Jerry Simp son,

The act of Speaker Reed in placing
Jerry Simpson at the tail of commit
tee indicates llttleness we had not
expected him to exhibitor else it
shows that he recognizes powerful
foe 10 Mr.. Simpson, and wishes to
hurt him all he can. This act, how.
ever, so contrary to prencedent and
fair dealing will certainly rect in
Jerry's favor.
The pitiful exhibition Of spleen
shows that the charges Of unfairness
against the speaker are well founded;
aud the fact that appointments to
positions on committees is entirely a
personal matter with him, will make
it the duty Of the speaker of the
next house to entirely ignore Mr..
Reeds action in the make up Of the
committees.-Topeka Independent.

Populists have always maintained
that hard times meant nothing more
than low prices for products. Since
wheat Is getting up to fair price,
those sections which have wheat TO
sell are fairly prosperous. Sumner
county is extremely fortunate this
year, but those sections which have
no wheat 10 sell are no better off
than they were. Now if our Repub-
lican friends could show US that
they are responsible for the raise in
the price Of wheat they would be en-
titled to share of our confidence.
The rise in price comes from for.
eign countries-the very countries
they were going to leglslate against,
in order to bring their prosperity to
our shores. There's not pound more
demand for wheat in this country
than there was last year. Hence
wheat has gone up in spite Of them,
and not by their assistance. IfPop.
ulist principles were put in force the
price would be still higher.

Another Traitor Gets His Pay.

The denunciatiOn of T. Y. POwderly
by the industrial council of Kansas
City is but a local vOicing of the
sentiment that is general throughout
the labor organizations of the country
regarding the conduct and motives
of this modern Judas Iscariot. La
Dor organizations fed POwdeTly for
years. They clothed and kept him
and his family in comfort and ease.
They furnished the hands, the means
and the office to which he rose to a
position of prestige, prominence and
power in the industrial wOrld-an
office which he used so as to almost
cause the extinction of one of the
most powerful labor organizations
that ever gave battle to aggregated
capital encroaching upon the sub
siStence and manhood of the tOilers.
For Hanna'S bride and McKinley's
promise Of fat office, POwderly
turned traitor to the men who made
him. He preached apOStacy of the
principles chat he had upheld aud
promulgated for years as inseperable
from any course that involved the
be- terment of the labOring classes

And President Mckinley becomes. a
party to bribery by carrying out the

consent of the senate.
The writer was present at the great
Cincinnati conference in May, 1891.
POwderly was present and was called
out for a speech. He was a hero of
those times and was loudly cheered
as he took his place On the rostrum.

he watched her face anxiously.
"Israel," she asked at length, a
little wistfully, why do you ask
me? Why don't you marry some

He looked at her as if surprised
at such question.
"Why, Mary" he said. "there amt
any other woman I care anythin'

about her lips.
