Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1898-06-17

A man was arrested for vagrancy
last week, and, in the trial before
Judge Conlan, the policeman swore
that he had seen him, at all hours, for
many days, begging on the public
streets. 1t developed that the accused
had been discharged from the County
Jail, where he had been serving term
Of three months for some petty offense.
the very day of his arrest. He was
promptly acquitted and the officer
reprimanded, although he should be
prosecuted for perjury. 1t seems that
the only way for the disemployed to
keep out of Jail for vagrancy is to get
into Jail for something else. so as to
"prove an alibi. San Francisco Star.

A carload of Republican literature
has gone to Kansas under Hanna's
frank. This will not only do its work
as literature" says the San Francisco
Star, but, as it was sent during the
government weighing of mails which
is made the standard on which pay
ment is made to the railroads for four
years, it helped to swell the daily
average; and, as they are usually paid
cents per pound for what would be
high compensation at one cent, this
car load (if it was ten tons) will In
crease the pay of the railroads for the
four years an aggregate Of $4,000.
This is political perpetual motion-
Probably few dozen more carloads
were sent to other states for the same
reasons. Thus the railroads are en-
abled to return a fraction of the profits
in campaign contributions. And that
is why Loud wants to cut OF sample
copies" of small papers and save at
the tap, that Hanna G Co. may let 60

:. The New York Central Labor Union
has put itself on record in favor of an
income tax. Delegate Dempsey, of the
Stereotypers' Union, brought the mat
ter up. Even kindling wood is dearer,
he said, and household food of all kinds
is rising in price. Everything is in
creasing except wages, and an income
tax such as has been proposed would
take a great burden off the working
people. On motion of Delegate Demp-
sey the meeting adopted a resolution
fayoring the income tax law and con-
demning newspapers throughout the
country which were opposed to It..
The New York labor organizations will
be able to enforce their ideas when
they send their own men to congress
and stop voting for such fakirs as
Amos J. Cummings, who voted for the
taxes complained Of by Delegate Demp-
sey, and also for the bond issue.

A few of our Populist EXCHANGES are
screaming themselves hoarse Or the
people to quit going in debt and let
the mortgage business alone. The ad-
vice is good and should be needed by
every man who is in a position to do
so, but when man looks into the
face of an innocent family and hears
the good wife and mother say to him:
"John, we haven't bite to eat in the
house, and the children are half
Naked" you'll see~khat man get up
and put a mortgage on his soul IL he
has nothing else to place one on. but
what he'll have bread for his family,
ard he is not to blame for 1t.

Cuba was SPANS "lost cause" even
before the Maine was blown up in Ha-
vana harbor. Had the Cuban patriots
ben granted belligerent rights two
years ago, as demanded by an over
whelming sentiment of our patriotic
Americans, the saffron flag of Spain
would not now be flying over Moro
Castle, but instead there would float
out, as fitting companion of the stars
and stripes, won by blood equally
heroic, the single star banner of free
Cuba.-I. R. Sherwood, in Cleveland

The United States are doing right in
