MR.. HICKS DENIES.
He Wishes to be Put Right in Public
Estimation.

Daniel Hicks, an attache of the De-
partment of State Printing, says that it
has been published, not in the Record
Union" that before the Assembly Com
mittee on Retrenchment his name was
used as one who had given information
detrimental to the State Printing Office.
Mr.. Hicks says this is incorrect. That
he has given no such information. CT

adds that he is prepared to give tesi-
mony to the committee if desired, at
any time, but wishes those who know
him to disa buse their minds of the pub

'eThe Battle of Decency in Litera-
ture," Richard Watson Glider, editor OF
the Century Magazine" thinks is just
now at it's hight. In an article in the
"Independent' on Editing" he speaks
of the editors duty to take part in
the battle, and he pays his respects to
the 'realists" in the following terms
'' Reality is a word to conjure with;
any one who raises blue pencil
against reality is in peril of losing ms
literary standing. The editor is prone
to level things down; to object to the
novel and original; he may be Philis-
tine; he may even be touched with
hypocrisy But if there is any greater
humbug and hypocracy than realism
can be | do not know what it is. Take,
for instance. the single detail of pro-
family in the conversation of story.
Did any one who has ever heard the
thing in all it's luxurious and pictures
Que reality ever see it really reported?
Is there a living realist who would be
willing TO put down in cold black ana
white to the extent of a foolscap page
the habitual language of certain types
with which he deals in fiction? and II
he did so. would be willing to keep
that piece of paper over night even un-
der lock and key? The unthinkable
blasphemy. the rank and violent vul-
garity, they are as real as many other
things outside of art. Say what you
will. there is no realist who does not
draw the line somewhere; and that line
is at least as debatable as the one be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana.

A WONDERFUL WORK.
Tissot's "Life of Christ" is Placed on
the State Library Shelves.

The State Library has just placed
on its shelves the first volume of the
illustrated Life Of Christ" by j..
James Tissot. that has created such a
sensation in Europe. The furore over
the work in Europe was so great that
excursion trains were run to the points
where the early copies of the work
could be seen.
The copy in the State Library is an
artists proof, and the engravings are
of such merit as to justify the craze
after a view of them that has charac-
terized their exhibition in Europe.
The written portion of the work is
in French, and is a very elaborate de-
scription of the life of the Savior. But
it is the marvellous work of the illus
traitor that most appeals to the eye
and makes the work so interesting.

the tailings running into the American
River, there being no restraining dam.
All Charley came up after the other
four were captured and was also taken

N w Merriphen of Gold Run, who has
a claim a short distance below the mine,
was put on the stand for the defense

the Chinamen's claim, and that they
merely used the monitors to knock
down the timbers supporting bed of
hard blue cement gravel that had been
left from the drift working in early
days. oss-examined by r. T. Devlin he
admitted that he had seen monitors at
work on January I'd, that there was no
restraining dam and that the debris ran
down into the North Fork.

4 Good COmpR rfsOn.

Editor Representative:
| long ago heard story told of an
old slave, whose master frequently call
ed upon him to do necessary work on
Sundays. One morning the old slave
did not respond SO readily, claiming
it was wicked to work on Sunday. His
master said, Does not the Bible say.
If thy ass has fallen into the ditch you
Should take him out even if it is the
Lords day" The slave retorted, Not
If you have been all the week pushing
him in"
The above applies to the political
situation last year. The Democratic
political ass was in the ditch and in
dire need of helping out. So reformers
We're earnestly appealed to for assist
ance to help get him out. We re-
sponded with will, feeling the suffer-
ing of the poor animal. and the con-
ditions of the people justified the effort,
even if it was a long eared animal 1t
seems now there are a class of So-called
Teformers trying to assist in pushing
the poor old animal in again, and many
of us feel it will be better to allow the
poor old animal to lie in the ditch since
we know the trouble that has been
taken to get him there.
Many years ago in Wisconsin there
lived a man who was addicted to
drink. After much labor upon the
part of the temperance society, he was
induced to sign the pledge and become
a sober citizen. One day party Of
rolickng young bloods were in for
drinking spree. While in a saloon
taking their drinks they saw this re-
formed drunkard passing by. One sug-
gested it would be fun to get him in
the saloon and make him take drink.
The suggestion was acted upon at once.
but the old fellow resisted so vigorously
they decided the best way to get the
whisky down him was to use a fun
mel. By that means they got good,
big dose down him. The old fellow
hung around quite awhile but no at
tention was paid to him. Finally he

''funneling' again. A certain profess
sor reminds me of the old fellow men
toned above. He seems to be asking
his "alles" if it is not time to funnel
him again" The reformed Democracy
were on their spree last year. They
took in the Peoples party and fun
neled them, had their fun, and are
paying no more attention to them. But
I fear there are some so-called Popu-
lists who are ready to ask if it Is not
time to funnel them again. The aver
age Peoples party voter wants a
straight issue of principles, and no
combination of any kind. If the So
called leaders are wise they will always
place more stress upon principles than
policy or party.

FUSION REPUDIATED.

Ohio this year, is the central field
of political contention. Both the DEM
ocratic and Republican parties are con-
centrating their forces there. Two
giants of plutocracy both well equipped
in all the means Of political warfare,
and contending for political supremacy.
Mark Hanna, the plutocratic million-
aire, and John r. Mclean, the million
aire plutocrat, have crossed swords in
battle royal for a seat in the United
States senate. Between thes two polit
ical giants, backed by their respective
parties, the Peoples party is strng-
fusion element in the Peoples party,
the Democrats have for months been
scheming to disrupt and absorb the
Pcpulist party by securing from it an
Endorsement of the Democratic state
ticket. To gain their point they have
in nearly every county made Overtures
to the Populists for fusion on county
Offices. With deputyships and specious
promises they succeeded in enlisting
many Populists, some of whom were

conspiracy to turn the Populist vote
over to the Democratic party. Their
scheme was to secure the Endorsement
of the Populist convention for the state
Democratic ticket. The delegations
from the large cities were packed for
that purpose. Mclean not only sue
ceeded in securing the delegation from
his own city, Cincinnati, but also that
OF Cleveland, the city in which Hanna
lives.
But the boys in the trenches" from
the agricultural districts and the small
err cities and towns, sent UP middle-of-

the state capital the middle-of-t the
readers at once assumed the aggressive.
They broke the slate prepared by the
state chairman, who was a fusionist.
and who was assisted by the fusion
members of the Populist state central
committee. They ignored the program
which was also prepared by the fusion
lists and was one of delay. They forced
the fight from the beginning, and by
their aggressiveness and excellent gen
e1alship rallied to their support the
weak, vacillating and hesitating
The fusionists were dumbfounded and
dismayed before the determined fight
made by the readers.
The Democrats and silver Republi-
cans had kindly assisted the fusionists
in preparing the program. They had
arranged for monster meeting at the
Auditorium (where the Populist con-
vention was heidi on the night OF the
first day of the convention. Exon
gresham Towne, chairman of the sill

was billed to speak, and all Populists
were invited to attend the meeting.

ReOrga ton Committee, Dallas,
Texas. Aug. IL, 1897.

Headquarters Peoples Party National
REORGANIZATION Committee, Dallas,
Texas, Aug. IL, 1897.
To the Populsts of the United States:
Since the close of the late national
campaign it has been the constant boast
of both the Democratic and the Republic
can parties that the Peoples party has
ceased to be a force in the great battle
for constitutional government in these
United States; that the Peoples party
is dead
The Peoples party was not born to
die. The principle upon which it is
founded cannot die. so long as free gov
eminent survives. The necessity for its
existence and perpetuity lies in the
manifest dishonesty and unpatriotic
methods and policies of the Democratic
and the Republican parties, who have
alternately administered the affairs Of
this government for the past twenty
years. 1t cannot die until it's noble and
patriotic demands for retrenchment, re-
isfed; until the government shall have
been rescued from the blue-bloods and
aristOcrats and restored to the people.
It cannot die until equal opportunity,
equal advantages and equal protection
under the law, shall have been secured
to every American citizen; until all
class legislation shall have been ex-
plunged from our statute books, and the
power of money to Cypress shall have
been destroyed. It cannot die so long
as free men and women are perishing
for the want of bread; so long as half
million brave, Industrious, honest men
are deprived of the opportunity to earn
support for themselves and for those
whom God has made dependent upoa
them. ar
The trusts, the mopopolies, the cor
porstions, the moneyed interests of the
country are organized; their strength is
concerted into the action of one man,
hence their power, their success. If the
Peoples party would hope to succeed
they must organize. they must unity.
they must concentrate their strength.
We are confronted. today by obstacles
and enemies within and without The
hypocritical and transparent pretenses
and promises of the Democratic party
in adopting some Of or principles have
misled and deceived some honest Pop
ulists; the allurements of success and
the hope for office have corrupted 9TH
ers, and political cowardice and a yearn-
ing to be with the strong side--the
majority-have warped the judgment
and beclcuded the political vision of
many.
The principles announced at Omaha
and reiterated at St. Louis, are the in
SEPARATION Of oppressed manhood, of de-
bauched industry, of the victims of the
despotic money power of our country.

ha and St. Louis were not merely pro

that we only embarrassed the Demo-
cratic party and retarded the cause OF
silver" that we did not expect to
win" etc. We would suggest that il
would be much more consistent fol
the Democratic and Republican parties
to fuse, as their policies in favor oil
corporation interests and opposed to
the interests of the people are nearly
Identical IF we are fooled once il

it will be our fault" We do know
that our troubles began when you be-
trayed us into an alliance with you
then you ''hogged" it all, and wish to
remind you further that if you call the
Populists bad names because you can
not use them again, win not wipe away
the perfidy of your act at Chicago, when
you put a full ticket in the field and
gave us only the cold consolation OF
voting for it, and called us traitors
ETC., because some OF Our good and
loyal men refused to swallow the pill
you sought to administer. But we feel
kindly to all true and honest reform
ers in any party, and wish them God
speed on their journey to conversion
when we hope eventually to secure
enough converts to the cause which our
party advocates, that we will be en-
abled to redeem the government and
place it back again in the hands of the
people, where in truth it will be a
