The country at large really has
something for which to be thankful
1t is announced on the authority
of one of Grover Cleveland's intimate
friends that he will retire from public
life both political and business, and
will be heard from on public occas-
ions through the medium of public
speeches. We presume that with the
cyclOpedia back of him, we will nave
great infections in the way of attempt
ed orations. The great monster
accident who perhaps never lived a
moral idea in his life, will lecture our
young college men on what life anG
its possibilities mean to them, il

ex-president whose business methods
have been less respectable than that
of the ordinary highway robber, will
talk at business mems banquets on

lea would ask such man to address
them no matter what position boodl-
ing politicians had honored him with.
They themselves do not respect him
and only placed him in the Presiden-
tial chair because he was man whose
idol was money, and they knew if they
only paid the price, no scheme would
be too nefarious for him to father, no
matter at what cost to the people at
large. His point of view was never
the humanity point of view. The
glitter of the almighty dollar blinds
him to,every impulse that makes for
better citizenship. He is blot upon
America and force for evil as long
as he lives and we can only be thank
full that in private life, he can do less
harm than in a public career.

press of the state of Alabama is
against ihe proposed conference au
Nashville, July 4. AS We have pre-
viously remarked, as we do not believe
that truly representative body of pop
ulists canbe gathered together at this
time. and are much inclined to believe
that the meeting at Nashville will be
a very much oue-sided affair. 1t is
remarkable, to say the least, that the
chosen leaders of the populist party
are to be debarred from participation
in the meeting. Surely if they are
capable of leading the reform forces
they are not only entitled to, but it is
absolutely necessary that they should
be counsellors and advisors of a nat
ional meeting. 1t looks to us as if
some men were anxious to become
leaders of the party who can see no
hope of ever attaining their desires if
the people are molested in their choice.
We do not wish to be misunderstood
| in this matter. If certain number of
people desire to meet at Nashville and
enjoy the exposition, we'll and good;
| but we think it is not advisable for a
limited assemblage to promulgate a
new policy for the peoples party;
and consequently, are averse to the
| meeting.
We do not believe that any populist
who has the good of the party at heart
and who is not inspired by self-seek-
ing desires will for a moment allow
himself to be lead off by the middle of
the-road people. Even though fusion
is not desirable, as they claim, their
course cannot possibly unite the par
ty' The only possible way of accom-
plishing that end is through the regu-
lar organization whose officers, at the
proper time and place, will call our
| conventions. The honest populist
does not run after a party name, but
he follows principles without regard
to name or company.

MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD.

Steinberger and Willetts rounded
themselves up at the National Hotel
in Topeka last week and held a mid
die -of-the-road populist convention
and selected IS delegates to the nation
al convention at Nashville.
Bennington, the other member OF
the trio proposes to hold another mid
die of -the-road convention all by him
self at Emporia July 1st. Some one
ought to let him know that there is in
Wayne township one original middle
of.the-road man, so that he might get
him down there and have two at his
meeting and not be overshadowed by
the Topeka crowd.
The only difference between the
above middle e-of-the-roaders and ours
is, that whereas they stay away from
the regular populist convent ons,
ours elects himself delegate, at
tends regularly, is candidate for
everything in sight, and in general
attempts to run the party which he re-
pudiated last fall, and whose leaders
he persistently maligns.

Attorney General Boyle says that if
he can secure the evidence to support
the charge that Cy Leland offered
Tom McNeal or Arthur Capper $50 to
hold back the stock yards bill and not
publish it in the official paper, he will
bring criminal prosecutions against
him. Both McNeal and Capper admit
that Leland offered them $50 to hold
back the publication for even one
week. The State Journal says that
the testimony of these two men alone
would be sufficient.

Car Horses Worst Fate,

No worse fate can befall street-car
horse than to be condemned to do ser.
vice as q helper. 1t is life sentence
in most cases, and is punishment,
not for misconduct or poor work, but
for faithful service and loyalty to his
masters. When horse has proved
that he is strong aud honest and faith
full he is taken from the ranks of the
regular street-car horses and assigned
to some hill or grade to help 'spring"
the car up it, says the New York
Press.
There could be no more heart-break:
ing labor. Literally, it is all ''up-hih
work" Never gentle slope where
he may catch his breath or a level
stretch where he may shake out the
cramps in his legs, nothing but pull.
ing burden up hill all his days.
They don't live long. The best
horses are put into the service, but the
pace is too fast for them. They break
down. as a general thing, before they
have finished the first year. s.. .'
Aside from the tremendous physical
strain which the work demands the
helper is exposed to an sorts and con-
ditions of weather. Seldom is blanket
thrown over him, even in the coolest
days, when he is steaming from his
exertions. After pulling one car up
a grade he is compelled to return to
the foot Of the hill on the run in order
to meet the next car. It is not to be
wondered OF that his knees give way,
his wind becomes broken, his eyes
sightless, and that he breaks down al.
together in less than twelve months.
As for the other street-car horses
the regulars-the, sympathy which the
public always has expended on them
is more or less wasted. Their lot does
not begin to be as hard as persons be.
ieve, and compared to that of the
truck horse it is sinecure.s He does
not have. to work more than four hours
a day, and has only two trips of eight
miles eacr to make. The average
horse, whether brougham aristocratic
or a dumpcart plebeian, considers him
self lucky is he has no more than six
teen miles day to travel.

Although sugar cane is Indigenous
In Hawaii, little attempt was made
toward its cultivation until 1885, when
plantation was started at Kauai, and
several sugar mills were built. These
mills were worked by the aid Of mules
and oxen, and the process was slow and
laborious. What contrast to the mills of
the present day, where the cane is
taken and made into crystals of sugar.
There is no royal road TO wealth in
Hawaii. and any one who anticipates
such condition had better stay away.
No man can go about blindfolded and
pick up dollars in the streets, but no
county offers better opportunity
and final reward for honest, earnest
and constant labor. Especially is this
true in the coffee industry. The pretty
homes and coffee area of Olaa are an
evidence Of this.
