ingalls,, of Kansas, whose caustic
tongue and "~iridescent dream" idea
of the purity Of politics have made
him famous, also emits a "howl" that
would do honor to PETER or Till
man, despite its exact truihfulness.
In a recent interview, he says:
From the Republican point OF
view, it would be better that the
tariff bill should fall that the senate
sugar schedule should stand. 1t is
the most brazen, and audacious hold
up of the century. 1t makes train
robbiug respectable. 1t has no ex-
cuse, except the Unsuitable greed and
rapacity Of the most shameless squad
Of plunderers that ever escaped the
penitentiary. Ordinary marauders
are content to rob a bank or swindle
a community. These brigands pro-
pose to pillsge the nation and TO
compel congress to become their ac--
completes. The trust schedule will
destroy competition, a~nnihilate the
beet sugar industry, and add to the
oppressive burdens of every citizen
of the United States for the aVowed
purpose of swelling the already inor-
dinate gains of remorseless monop
oily. These are the performances
that explain populism, and which, if
not restrained, will make anarchy

tion by the city press as a boodler

acquittal by the jury, or rather the

Republican Calamity How
10rS.


That the Mckinley administration
is not furnishing the prosperity its
friends were SO ready to guarantee
before the November election is a
self evident fact. Business of all
description affords ample proof Of
continued depression. More than
this there are numbers OF eminently
respectable Republicans who admit
the fact. One of the latest, a gen.
tleman, high in religious, commercial
and Republican circles, who rashly
expresses himself to the charge of
being "a calamity howler," is John
Wanamaker who contributed $780,
900 to the Republican campaign
fund in 1888. To a speech made on
the 18th instant, be said 1.-THE tide
will soon set in strongly against the
Republican party unless the depres-
sion Of business is altered. Idleness
and want breed a bitter discomfort,
which will never be overcome until
there are ample emplogmeuts.
"The foes America has to fear are
not the sullen savage Turks, nor the
iDsul rectionists Of Cuba, nor the
territory-grasping British, but they
are our own patient and heart.tired
people, who, betrayed and disheart
ened, no longer have faith in theil
party, and will turn to any leader
ship that offers promise Of better
times, believing that worse times Cal
never come than those now existing
ut is a terrible thing to ohserv,
public sentiment adrift and uncap
tanned and the people sweepin,
away from their affection to the oil
party"

Speaks His Mind.

The Colfax Demands does not
mince matters even when handling
the clergy. 1t pointedly enquiries
"What has Colfax people done to
the Methodist church that it is con.
stantly set upon by that body Col
fax helped build o parsonage at
Montgomery and was cut off and
put on another circuit. She built a
parsonage at Ada and she was put
with Boyce. She then helped build
another at Boyce, when she is again
cut off by V. D.. Skipper, P. E., her
preacher taken from her and left
practically without any service.
Merely because an evangelist comes
along and holds a successful revival
at Colfax, Mr.. Skipper insults the
intelligence of the church by taking
off the circuit and leaving them
alone again. We think that Bro.
Skipper is "spiling a born to make o
spoon" and that If he would just let
US alone and quit taking revenge on
us he would find enough to keep him
busy elsewhere. When the confer
ence meets somebody will have to
account for their actions. We are
rid OF liquor here and the worst
enemy Of our church are its present
