Seems Little Scared

STOCKTON, Dec. 2.-David Miller,
a successful dealer in beans, grain. and any
old stuff handled on the levee of Stockton
dropped into town tonight from Chicago,
and gave himself up to Sheriff Cunningham.
He is in Jail, but seems to make light of the
charge against him Of obtaining goods by
false pretenses, and appears to think the
matters against him will be easily straight
ened out. He has been missing since the
first day Of last June, but says he would have

Ing place; but the work for which the party
was born and which 1t bravely commenced
will be left for their old associates and
new co-WorkerS who shall be found In
other bodies--men and women who believe
good government can be maintained only
through social order and just laws, citi-
zens who believe in doing good because
they love their fellow men, reformers whose
faces have always been to the front, vet
Grams who draw the enemy's fire and who
fight better in the field than in the camp.
There will be plenty Of work for them
to DO. Conditions will not improve under
the present regime. Times Will get no
better. Stringency and panic will be here
on time again and again as of old, for
neither Republicans nor Democrats offer
a preventive. They do not seem to know
what ails the country and the world. High
tariff is but heavy taxation and free silver
alone will not work to the idle nor bread
to the poor. The case needs heroic treat
ment--just such as the Peoples party pro-
posed.
Yes. the work will be delayed, but it
will be done. Justice will be re-estab-
lished in the land and the peoples rights
will be restored to them. The law Of prog
ress will not be suspended any more than
the law of gravitation. While the factors
are being arranged In equations of the next
century, and during the siftings and win
nowings of the time, these devoted PopU-
lists will gravitate to their proper places
among the. leaders of thought and action
in the work of the trying days to come.
To them, and to such as they, will be
given truths Of the future to reveal to
others as they can bear them, and they
shall have at least the reward of the faith
full. w. A. PETER.
