~ AM a THIEF +"

These are the words of the noted mo-
nopolist, Tom. l.. johnson, of Ohio,
who has wrung from the people mil
lions of dollars by holding street rail-
way franchises and other similar Eat
ural monopolies. In a recent inter-
view he is reported to have made the
following plain and bold confession :
III am thief, and as long as any per.
son is permitted by the mOnopolization
OF natural resources and private own
ership of public utilities to accumulate
wealth that does not belong to him,
JUST so long will people of my kind be
willing to commit such theft. From
TINS time on it shall be my task in life
TO open the eyes of the people to the
process whereby they foolishly permit
themselves to be robbed and to point
out to them the way to abolish a sys-
TEN winch enriches me and impover-
ishes themselves.
What the world needs is not charity,
but justice. | shall refuse the same as
ever to issue checks for charitable in
situations, and l shall not beoueath
money for building churches and Ii.
braries. M family shall be we'll pro-
vided for, but the balance of nv wealth
snail serve to teach the people how to
prevent me and others of my kind from
robbing them"
1t will be noticed that Mr.. johnson
clearly states that one of the greatest
causes Of making few men million
aires and making the millions of peo-
pie poor is the turning over of natural
monopolies into the hands of private
syndicates. Any man who controls
natural monopoly, which should be
owned and used by the people for the
public good, can in q short time lay
heavy tribute on the public, aud make
himself millionaire at the expense of
the thousands who must use and be de.
pendent upol the natural monopoies
which control. ~ ..t... SIRE.
But how can any private syndicate get
control Of these natural monopolies ?
They cannot get control of them ex-
cept by the foolish or dishonest acts of
the peoples representatives either in
the hallso Of Congress or in the State
legislatures or in some city council.
These natural monopolies, like street
railways, lighting q city by gas or

city, or the telegraph system Of the

THE SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.


Since our report Of the war situa-
ton in last weeks CAUCASIAN matters
have not materially changed. Shafter
is still holding his army for rein
forcements, as soon As they arrive the
the navy under Admiral Sampson will
unite with Gen. Shafter to lombard
Santiago. Both the Spanish and A mer-
iban armies are taking advantage of
the armistice to entrench themselves
IN formidable positions. Gen Shafter
made formal demand Of Gen. Torals
for the surrender Of Santiago, but that
warrior would not yield except upon
condition that he be allowed to de-
part from the city with his troops.
This the authorities at Washington
would not consider and instructed
General Shafter to open hostilities
Monday at which time REINFORCE
ments will have reached the Ameri-
can army. Sunday afternoon about
8 o'clock both our navy and army
bombarded Santiago but the firing
was not kept up long, and it is not
known what damage was done.
Advices received Tuesday morning
from the front are to the effect that
bombardment by the fleet was resumed
early this morning. At the same
time n general attack by the land
forces was being carried on. Our ar
tillery was doing very effective work,
and men were fighting with the great
est enthusiasm. Gunners have the
ranges Of the principal Spanish posi-
tions, and are pouring into them a
most destructive fire. The enemy is
responding, but their fire is in no wise
30 hot as ours. The fighting thus far,
according to the advices, continues to
be an artillery duel, with the advant-
age on the side of the Americans. 1t
is not definitely known what the eff
feet has been from the fire from the
warships.
-
LATKsT-General Shafter cables I'm
der date of July 18th stating that the
day had passed quietly and but little
fighting done. The flag of truce has
been up since two o'clock for the pur-
pose Of considering proposition for
surrrendering now that he has Santi-
ago surrounded on the north, the lines
being completed by General Ludlow.
Down to the bay the line is rather
thin but will be strengthened in the
morning by General Henry, who has
just arrived at headquarters. Only q
few casualties are reported. General
Shafter states there is great deal of
suffering among the people who have
gone out of Santiago, but that he is
doing his best to relieve it.
General Skaters message is taken
by the War Department to mean that
Toral is going to surrender under the
flag Of truce. The city has been COM
pletely invested or all sides. This is
considered to mean that TOral, seeing
that he cannot escape wants to sur
render. Secretary Alger expects news
OF the surrender at any moment. He
says IL not a grand assault as arranged
Will take place immediately.

Judge Norwood is to push his fight
in the courts for the possession of his
place on the bench, from which he
claims Governor Russell has illegally
ousted him.
Judge Norwood is in the city, stay
ing at the Berkeley. He was seen BY
9 Gazette reporter last evening but
declined to say anything further than
that he had instituted against Judge
E. D. Carter and the governor q suit
in the nature of a quo warranto. The
writ is issued out of the Superior
Court of Haywood county, returna-
BILE on the first day of Haywood
court, which is on the 18th of Sep
tember, before Judge Green, who
will be the presiding Judge.
Judge Carter was seen last night
and confirmed the report that the
proceeding had been Instituted
against him, and without hesitation
said that he had been served with q
summons. Under the statute, act
ions of this nature take precedence
over all others on the docket, and
the case will no doubt be heard on
the first day of Haywood court, SO
that in case of appeal by either par
ty to the controversy the question
may be determined by the Supreme
Court at The earliest practicable mo-
ment: R. D. Gilner and w. B, Fer
guson, of counsel for Judge Nor
wood, are IN the city and both the
contesting parties will be represent
ed by able counsel.

THE SCHEME OF THE DIsORGA NIzER

L HE SShI"E of i NE DlSOhG ASlZERS
The last issue of Wharton Barker'e
paper, The American, Tom Watson g
paper, The. Peoples Party Paper; and
Paul Dixon's paper, The Missouri
World, and several other so-called mid.
dle-of-the-road papers published the
call for boiling National Convention
to be held at Cincinnati ON September
9Th. The call was signed BY Milton
Park as chairman of the so-called Re-
organization Committee. These bolt.
ers and disorganizers are evidently dis.
appointed in the following which they
have developed up to date. Their first
disappointment came at Omaha, when
majority Of the middle Of the roa ders
refused to bolt the committee with
them. Their further disappointment
now cOmes in the small number of pa
pers that endorse their disorganizing
scheme. So several of their papers
announced last week that they would
hold their convention in Cincinnati,
according to call, but that il the con-
vention was small that they would
nominate a ticket at that time.
Col. Burkett, one of the boilers, in
his paper, the Mississippi Messenger,
in an editorial, says:
The National Convention of the Peo-
pies Party is called to assemble 1T Gin
cinnati on Monday, September s, 1898,
for the purpose of formulating and An
nOuncing the policy of the party and
nominating candidates for President
and Vice President to be voted for in
1900. The reason given for calling the
convention at that time and place is
the Grand Army Of the Republic will
meet in Cincinnati that week and rail-
road rates will be made very low.
We hope there will be q full deleea-
ton from all the States, that the best
thing possible may be done, but if the
attendance IS small and only q part of
the States represented, in our judg-
ment, it would be best to defer nomi-
nations.
Paul Dixon in his paper, The Mis-
souri, World. in and editorial, says:
For our part we are willing to take
any course that tho anti-fusionist 3
agree upon, and are willing to cut
loose from the fusionists nos and for.
ever.
SO it seems that they are determined
to put up their ticket if they are satis-
fed they can split the Peoples Party
to any considerable extent. But if
they get but a small following up to
that time, they will adjourn and 70 at
their work Of still further trying to
dlsorganize the party.
Let all true Populists beware of
these disorg anizers. They are either
traitors to the principles of the party
or else their judgment amounts to
craziness.
