Virden, Ills. Oct. 13.-For two weeks
there has been report that train
with a large number Of colored miners
from Alabama would reach the city, and
the Chicago and Alton depot has been
surrounded by vigiant miners deter
minedly awaiting the arrival. Wednes s.
day the Chicago and Alton limited. due
to pass here at ~ O'Clock, shot through
to Chicago an hour late, displaying flags
IN the rear indicating that special was
following. Immediately the word was
spread. and dense crowd of miners llned
the station platform, while another
crowd collected at the entrance of the
stOckade, half mile north of the sta

south end of the station platform to see
that it was not tempered with. AT II: 40

end OF the tram, announcing the spe-

Immediately shots were fired from the
moving train and outside, and the battle
was on. A few moments after the train
had passed the switch where kiley was
stationed. and while he was talking with
two citizens, he threw UP his arms and
dropped dead with a bullet through his
brain. He was the first man killed. The
train continued to the stockade, the min
ars firing into it all along the route and
the negro passengers returning the fire.
The moment the train reached the stock

Gov. LEEDY has prepared and is SUBJ
hitting railroad bill to the members
of the legislature, and if majority of
the members approve of the bill and
pledge their support. the governor will
convene the legislature in extra session.
The proposed measure is, In our opin-
ion, an improvement on the Harris bill,
but not as good as the Brown maxi
mum freight rate bill. 1t proposes to
enlarge the powers of the board of rail
road commissioners and leaves with
that board the exclusive right to fix
rates. The schedule in effect on the
3lst day Of December, 1897, shall be the
rate enforced until re yised by the COM
missioners. 1t Will be seen by this that
the people Of Kansas who patronize the
railroads are at the mercy of three
men who are appointed by the govern
or; and it is for this reason that we con-
tend that the governors measure does
not entirely fulfill the I'opulist pledge
of 1896. We believe positive and d.
rect law placed on the statute books by
the legislature, fixing maximum rate,
is what the people need. Of course,
if the railroad commissioners were COM
posed of the right men. they could do
much toward alternating the burdens
| of the people of the state in transporta-
| ton matters, bnt with the present
board we see no encouragement. And
it seems hardly plausible that the board
| will be improved.

There is vital difference. 1t might as

The Populist idea embraces the fruit
of advanced thinkers of the age. 1t
has become the champion of higher

only to be tested to be confirmed. Its
creed is message of salvation to the
American people and destruction to
thieves, usurers, murderers and liberty

THEIR WISDOM Is FOoLIsHNEss.
1W. A. Pefer.l

'Mr. Hoar replied to Mr.. Teller in a
speech, in which he deplored the re-
markable effort of the Colorado Sena-
tor. He contended that the question
was not one of legal power, but of hon.
or and good faith.''
The question under discussion was
whether payment Of our national obi
cations in silver coin would be in vio-
lation of public faith. Mr.. Teller had
the negative and Mr.. HOar the afirma-
tive. Mr.. HOar is one of the wise men.
He halls from the East. He is. proba-
bly, the best type of the New England
Puritan now in public life. lie is
learned In law and is member of sew
eral associations of learned men and
women of high order. He is an hon.
est, sincere man. And yet he and
such as he stand before the people and
tell them that what is honest among
them as individuals is dishonest in
their dealing with public creditors.
Let this statement be submitted to
Senator Hoar: A and B enter into an
dRICChOnO ny LnO CCILAS VI WnlCh IA
promises to pay to b, on certain day,
one hundred bushels of wheat. When
the day of payment arrives A tenders
the wheat, according to agreement, and
b refuses to receive it because, since
the date of agreement, the market
price of wheat has declined. Query:
Has A performed his part faithfully
and honestly? Mr.. Hoar would an
swer "Y es," without the least hesita-
ton. He would say: The law has
determined what bushel of wheat is
sixty pounds OF merchantable wheat,
and A promised to deliver one hundred
such; having done just what he agreed
to do, he has honestly fulfilled his
promise"
Again: Suppose that Mr. Brown
agrees with Mr., Black that he, Brown,
will pay to Black debt due on GER
tam day in wheat or corn or both, as
may, at the time, best suit his conve-
nlence, and when the day comes he de-
clines corn. Black refuses to receive
the corn because its market price has
fallen below that of wheat since the
day the contract was made. Has
Brown acted in good faith? Mr.. Hoar
would answer Yes; he has done just
what he promised to do, and Black has
no just ground for objecting'
But, when it comes to treating our
public creditors that way, Mr.. Hoar OBJ
jects and says that we must pay not as
we agreed to pay, not according to the
contract, but according to the wishes of
our creditors. He says that changes in
conditions work changes in contracts,
and when the market price of silver
falls, we must pay in gold.
This violates the law, and allows the
creditor to make and enforce a contract
to which the people are not a party.
We promised to pay our debts in coin
and the law has clearly and specifically
provided just such cases by fixing in
the statute what coins shall constitute
dollars; but here come these wise men
and insist on throwing aside one kind
and paying with another, though it be
greatly to our Inconvenience and loss.

The preacher prayed in a woeful tone,
For the thief in the felon's cell.
And told of his punishment here on earth
And his endless days in hell;
But the thief that sat on the best front pew
That he might be seen and heard
Of the shylock thief of the helpless poor,
The priest never uttered "a world
And he told of the harlot. stepped in sin,
And the rumsellers awful doom;
And said if they didn't cease to increase
He'll would run short of room;
But the pirates that have stolen the earth
And their brothers blood have she'd
The parson smiled as he winked at them.
And never a word he said!
Lord help the preacher and help the church,
When the morning sun shall rise.
And cast the vel that has hidden the sham
Away from the peoples eyes!
And the big thief then. in the best front pew,
And the man with the blood-stained hand,
Shall stand alone in the daylight clear
In the sight of all the land.
