THE coffin trust is dead, and will be buried
in one of its own cofins-we hope.
HANNA has captured Ohio and will be re-
elected to the United States senate. Hanna is
bigger than all the other Ohio politicians put
together
A LARGE number of Populist papers of Kan
sas are demanding the removal of Leweling
from the railroad board. In fact, majority OF
the Populists of the state demand the same
thing.
CHICAGO people are getting tired of machine
rule and corrupt political practices, and ale or
ganizing, or have organized, Citizens party,
for the purpose of turning down the corrupt
gang in control of the city's affairs.
THERE are numerous printers papers, but II
there is one that equals Press ard Printer, OF
Boston, we haven't seen it yet. 1t is fully up
to date-bright breezy and chock-full of good
things Every printer ought to have it.
DEBs has tsndered John D. Rockefeller, the
Standard Oil magnate an invitation to join his
cooperative colony. 1t is needless to say that
John D. won't accept the invitation, and that
Debs knew he wouldn't. John D. is in favor
of cooperation, but he wants it all within the
Standard Oil Company.
THE Socialist Labor party of Chicago de-
nounces Debs' cooperative colony plan bnt
that will not deter Debs from putting the plan
into execution and making success Of it. He
will begin operations in the state of Washing
ton, and we predict that he will succeed so we'll
that other states will soon follow suit.
REV. RA1NsFoRD endorses Debs' movement
to form cooperative colony in some western
state, taking thousands of unemployed men and
making it possible for them to earn liveli-
hood The governor of the state of Washing
ton also endorses the plan, and is making
strong effort to get the colony in that state.
AT first flush, it looks little unreasonable
to expect prosperity at the hands of the Re-
publican administration before it gets laws into
operation in line with its policy, but it should
be remembered that were assured all the
while that it was net laws, but confidence, that
was needed. 1t looks to us that it is about
time for the first installment of confidence to
arrive-Living Issues.
SILVER Democrats and Populists of Chicago
united IN supporting Carter Harrison for mayor
of that city, and now he has given them the
marble heart and is filling the city Offices with
eold-bug Democrats. We don't feel bit sorry
forthose Populists and silver Democrats
'eln right friend of the saloons has no SYM
pathy with or for reforners; and Carter Har-
rison is known to be friend of the whisky
element of Chicago
FOLLOWING DR.. Hurlbut's lecture at the Of
tawa Assembly, last Saturday evening, Kline's
cinematograph gave an exhibition that greatly
delighted the audience. The succession of
moving pictures thrown on canvas were very
life like. One showed the train on which Bry
an travelled to Geneva, while the photograph
poured forth the eloquence of his speech at New
York These exhibitions elected tumultuous
applause, which showed very plainly that the
crowd was Bryan crowd.
THE United States postofice is such good
illustration of what socialism might do for the
people if the same principle was applied to
railroads, telegraphs and other matters that
there is movement now on foot to bring dis
credit upon the postoffice- governmentaly adj
ninistered-and to turn it into private monop-
oily Only the cloven hoof can occasionally be
seen, but the American people will yet be able
to see the whole devil-after he has accom-
pshed his work and they are helpless.-The
