We notice that certain machine

one of the good things done by that
legislature. What are the factsi
The Populists State Superintendent
OF Public Instruction urged the legi-
stature to raise $500, 600 dollars more
for public school fund Of the state
which would insure a nine months
school in every district from the
mountains to the sea. In his re-
port to the legislature he showed
how this could he done by simply re-
qniripg certain corporations in the
state that now pay very small pro-
portion Of the burdens of taxation to
pay their fair and quail share. SO two
things could have been accomplished
il his advice had been needed first,
the burdens of taxation would have
been more nearly tqualized by hav-
ing the rich to pay something like
the same proportion that the poor
have to pay, and at the same time
more than double the length of every
public school in the state. Did the
legislature act on this advice9 No.
Instead Of raising $500. 900 by in
creasing taxation and not increasing
the burdens Of those who already
pay the bulk Of the taxes, they de-
cided to let the corporation and
monopolies 60 scot-free and to in
crease the burden of those who al
ready pay taxes to the extent of q
hundred thousand dollars for public
schools. Thus, instead of raising
one-half million dollars for public
schools, only one hundred thousand
dollars was raised, and that was
raised out of the pockets of those
who already pay more than their
share. 1t is scarcely necessary to ask
whether the last legislature belon eed
to the people or to the corporations.

We notice that some Of the few
Barker and Donnelly organs are
crltlcising the Omaha agreement
and saying they will stand by it ii
the next national convention goes
their way; and II 1t does not they
will bolt. The whole spirit and
purpose Of the Omaha agreement
was not only to stop factional fight
Ing in the party at present, but to
provide a means by which the par
ty would be united when the next
national convention adjourned,
whether 1t took q position meeting
the views of one faction or the 9th
or faction. Those who are declar-
ing they will bolt, not on a ques-
ton Of party principles but simply
on question of method, are in adj
vance repudiating the Omaha agree
ment. This number is very small,
but still they may find that they
will not be fortunate enough to get
seats In the convention with such
a declaration Of purpose on their
lips. The Peoples Party is more
harmonious now than it has been
for years, and is all the stronger
for having gotten rid Of the Barker
ties and Donnelleyites.

TO sIDErkACK THE REAL CAUSE.

TO SIDE TRACK THE REAL CAUSE.
Mr.. Havemeyer, the head of the
Sugar Trust, was one Of the witness
es before the Industrial Commission
IN Washington last Friday. A part
OF his testimony in answer to ques-
tons was very interesting on &C.
count of its frankness. For instance,
he said boldly and plainly that he
was not running the Sugar Trust for
the benefit Of anybody except him
self and those in the trust with him;
that 1t was run to make money for
themselves and not in the interest
OF the public; and that it was the
policy OF the trust to crush out com.
petition. He said further that it was
good rule for any business man to
adopt to force the consumer to nav
all he could possibly pay. He said
that il the farmers and other classes
OF the public wanted protection
against tho trusts they had better
form trusts for their own ection,
But the part of his testimony to
which we wish to call especial atten.
ton was what he said about the tar.

part OF his testimony was not in an
swer to question, but it was read

less as they are, they have too much
respect for and fear Of decent public

An Unjust Law.

A Brooklyn man was convicted of a
crime of which he was innocent and sem
fenced to aterm of Imprisonment. Sub
sequently he brought an action for dam
ages against the State for false imprison-
ment. There was no attempt to deny
That he had been unjustly convicted of a
crime for which he was guiltless, but
there was serious question whether the
Stale was liable to pecuniary damages.
The litigation was long continued aud
bitter, and was decided by the Court of
Appeals in favor of the State. This means
that the State can deprive a man OF his
liberty and still not be responsible for
It's act. Upon the decision the Buffalo
heUtew comments as follows: "If this
Is the law, it is an infamous act and re-
fleets great discredit upon the Anglo
Saxon civilization of which we boast so
much. This ruling is of the same kid
ney as its predecessor, which holds that
citizen cannot sue munincipality for
false imprisonment, but must c0nfine the
ACTION lor damages to the police officer
who made the arrest and prefer the
charges, even though the latter may be a
bankrupt. The next legislature should
change this inequitable law. If people
have right to liberty and freedom they
should have right to recover from tho
Government when 1t unjustly deprives
them OF the same on false charges. The
rule that the suit for damages must be
brought against the official responsible
for the mistake, and that it must be
brought against him as an individual, re-
gardless of the fact that he was acting in
his public capacity and as a representa-
tive of the people at the time the wrong
was done, is absurd and unjust"

of all intelligent people when during the

modestly avoided appropriating to him
self any of the enthusiastic applause
which was bestowed upon the Presiden-

the Capitol the President smiled ana
chatted with Admiral Dewey while the
latter was kept busy in lifting his hat in
acknowledgment of the enthusiastic
greeting. And again when the applause
at the Capitol during the presentation
exercises reached climax he pushed the
Admiral forward and stepped back.

If we all do our duty from this on till
November Z, election day, and there is no
reason why we shouldn't, every candi-
date on the Republican ticket will be
elected by at least 500 majority. And
there is not the slightest reason why each
individual candidate should not receive
the hearty support of each Republican
in the county. A better class of nomi.
nfes was never placed before the people,
and not one Of them but that is thorough
ly qualified in every particular for the
office for which he is aspiring. Not a
faint of suspicion as to their entire reli-
ability and honesty rests on single one
of them, and they all won their nomina-
ton squa,ely and fairly, hence they
should receive the full and united vote of
the party in the county, and undoubted-
ly will. Whenever Republicans give a
complimentary vote to the enemy they
cheat themselves, and when that COM
plimentary vute is the means of electing
Democratic official the Republican par
ty is just to that extent poorer than it
was. In times when prosperity is so evil
dent on every hand as it is now, and the
contrast between what we had under
Democratic rule and that of the present
administration is so very marked, it
is mighty good time for Repub-
licans to be Republicans and stick
to the ticket, no matter how insig-
niiicant the office may seem. At any

MORE railroads are being built in the
United States, more business is being
transacted on those already in existence,
more manufacturing is in progress, more
expectation of manufactures is being
done. and more general prosperity and
less failures are reported than ever before

which augurs i'll for the Democratic cam
paigns in 1899 and 1900.
