a MASS meeting of the voters of Rush
county which was as largely attended
by free silver republicans and demo-
Gratis as by Populsts, passed some
strong resolutions on Saturday, April
II. We clip the following which will
show how the people of Rush county
feel over the defeat of the maximum
freight rate bill:
Resolved, that we, the people of
Rush county, assembled in convention,
pursuant to call by the Populist chair
man, denounce in unmeasured terms.
the members of the Popullst party who
have betrayed the interests of their
constituents, and voted with the repub-
lican party to defeat the maximum
freight bill. and further, we denounce
likewise, the silver republicans in the
House who were elected by the aid of
PopuliSt votes. and who accepted Pop
ulist nominations with the understand
ing that they would vote for the maxi
mum freight bill as enunciated in the
Populist platform of 1896, and we also
denounce the democratic members of
the House who betrayed the peoples in
terest by voting with the republicans
on the maximum freight bill.

member of the Peoples party national
executive committee, has the following
to say In regard to the recent meeting
Of the Reform Press Association at
Memphis. The expression will find
hearty endorsement among the rank
and file of Populists:
The meeting of the Reform Press
Association is the first indication of the
sentiment of our party since the cleo
ton, and was awaited with interest.

prevails among the middle-of- the road
Populists [ feared that the official adj
dress of the organization might be too
radical. ] have therefore labored con-
stantly TO secure a wise and conserva-
tive expression which would merit the
approval of the party, and 1 am happy
to state that it measures up to my eX-

will soon absorb the attention of the
country. In doing this we do not aban.
don silver,as that is a part of our move

store it. to help increase our circula.
ton, to cancel our bonds redeemable in
coin, as well as to effect foreign ex

command the esteem of true reformers

REFORM AT THE PEN1rENr1ARY.

Warden Lands is enforcing new and
economic rules at the penitentiary I'm.
der his administration. Heretofore it
has been the custom Of the state board
of pardons and other visitors to the in
Stitution, whether on business or fol
other purposes. to get board and lodg-
ing at the institution, but Mr.. Lands
has given out the information that he
VIII establish new precedent.
Bearing upon this subject, Topeka
paper prints the following conversation
between the Warden and one of the
members of the board of pardons:
We'll, Mr. Lands, / presume that
you have good quarters for us over
there. The board Will be over in few
days to look up number of cases and
we expect to be there week.
"Oh, yes, the accommodations are
reasonably good. There is hotel in
the city not far from the penitentiary
where the members of the board may
STOP
Cant We stop at the institution
said MIR. Randolph.
No sir. The directors have ordered
me to permit none of the employees or
state officers who come to the peniten-
tiary either on d visit or on business, to
live off the state while there. EIll ap-
ply this rule with great deal of pleas
ure, as think it is right.
Il have been informed that in past
years it has been the custom for the
people at the pentitentiary to get way
with al that was possible but l pro-
pose to run the institution on an eco
nomical basis and administer, as far as
lies in my power. Justice To the state as
well as to myself and the powers which
placed me here.
Mr.. Landis' course in this matter
will find cheerful endorsement from the
taxpayers OF the state regardless of
party lines. The state is not supposed
to be running free boarding house for
loafers.

Gov. PINGREE, of Michigan, republi-
can, has given out the following state
ment regarding the political landslides
in the cities Of Detroit, Cincinnati, Chi.
cago and various other cities. Pingree
is a man of brains and never talks to
hear his head rattle:
There has been a reaction in politics
all over the country. Iowa and Ohio
and other states and cities that gave
enormous republican majorities last
fall have elected officers this spring. l
predicted after the fall election that the
republican party would never win
another victory for the single gold stan
dard, and l am today frmer than ever
in my belief. There is a reaction in ia
vor of bimetallism which all parties
will be compelled to recognize"

TARIFF AND FINANCE.

There are, among the American peo-
pie, vast numbers who, being otherwise
reasonably intelligent, have become in
fatuated with the erroneous idea that
tariff legislation will regulatesfnancial
matters. On the one side it is argued
that high duties on imDortatIors will re-
plenish the national treasury and that
the foreigner furnishes the revenuewith
which the governments expenses are
met. The other contention is that a
high tariff increases the tax, or price,
on all articles of consumption through
which the masses are plunged into
bankruptcy. There is, of course. some
argument on both sides of the question
but all of it is very weak at its best.
The trouble with the American people
lies not at the door of the tariff. The
revenues may haye some little effect
but they pale into insigniiicance when
compared with dominant issues. Tar
if legislation will not remedy financial
ills. This fact has been very plainly
demonstrated by what can well be
termed practical experiments We
have experienced tariff legislation in al
most every conceivable form but the
financial problem remains as much I'M
solved today as 1t has been before and
the people are still in state of bank
ruptcy. Law makers can no more rem
| der the people financial relief by tariff
| legislation than farmer can plow SOC
with go-devIl. 1t requires something
effective; the penny wise and pount
| foolish methods are of no avail. A
long as the present banking system pre-
walls, as long as the single gold stan
| dard is in force, as long as our laws dis
crlminate against the common peopl
and in favor of Wealth, our present i'll
will remain with us.
| People must have the means witt
which to purchase goods before the
can procure them and as long as cOndi
tons are such that they cannot Obtain
the wherewith, q tariff, whether higl
or low, is of No consequence. TART
does not increase the wages of the la
borer nor the prices Of farm products
1t does not relieve the mine owner no
employ idle labor. Financial legisla
ton must accomplish these things.

THE government is amply able to do
its own banking business with out the
intervention Of corporation. If the
United States can afford to loan any
body money at one per cent, it ought to
loan to the people directly. This sys-
tenn of loaning money to the national
banks to loan the same money to the
people at rate varying from II to "a
per cent, is without justice or common
honesty. Let the government estab
fish and operate It's own banks and
cease this disreputabe conspiracy
against the American people.
