this. When you ask any Of these men
which party he believes in he will reply
Don't know, they didn't tell me yet
Our laws and morals are no nearer right
than yours.
One has to be a graduate Of a normal
school or college before one can teach, and
no laboring man can send his son or
daughter to college on s1-10 a day. The
laws have made it impossible for poor
mans child TO get an education, more than
they can get at the town schools. The law
Is made in favor of the rich and against
the poor. 1t says that it is a crime for a
poor man to get drunk but the rich man 8
son is helped home by the officers Of the
law. There is not church in the whole of
New England but derives benefit from the
rum traffic. and the most of them are aware
of the fact. If a young man is a rake and
has money back Of him he can go into
these same churches and those sanity
mothers will adopt any means to induce
him to marry their daughters. The old
fashion New England ideas and ways are
gone for good, the question now Is not
what the character may be- but have they
got money.
No, the people of New England are no
more capable of governing themselves, no
more intelligent, no more honest, no more
upright, than the people of the West.

The great educational campaign and
reform work of the future rests largely
upon the widest distribution of our lead

Money spent for reform papers sent
into the homes of the masses does re-

FROM NEBRASKA.
Rally for the Peoples Party.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb., JAN 15-Mr. Edi-
tor-Sir: On the nomination of Hunter for
governor the straight Populists suspended
their operations against the fusionist Payn-
ter being a farmer, an old Alliance man,
and Populist. But time is proving whas
was to be anticipated, and means are al
ready at work to complete the destruction
of the Peoples Party in Nebraska. Active
operations will be commenced right away
to organize a Peoples Party in harmony
with the national organization.
AS time passes 1t becomes more and more
apparent that all that there is left Of the
old Peoples Party is the nomination made
at the Cincinnati convention. BUT for that
convention the Peoples Party would now
be disOrganiZed mass drifting into eter-
nifty with no hope whatever AS it is we
now have point to rally to- of course we
cannot rally as we could If treason and con-
fusion had not left us a dismantled wreck.
1t is impossible for all to see alike but we
have a lead to follow, and it Is possible that
had that lead not been made by the Cincin-
natl convention, there never would have
been any lead at all. For the lead we nave
we are indebted to the reform press and the
Cincinnati convention.
Let stand by our lead until some bet
ter is tremendously provided, of which
there is as yet no apparent probability let
us rally to the support of Barker and Dom
nelly Let us throw aside the humbug Of
bimetallism and go on with our Omaha
platform, with the initiative and refercn-
dunn that covers everything Nebraska
has given the traitor Allen his reward
Believing that many Of your papers circu-
late in Nebraska, I would say to the Popu-
lists of Nebraska, awaken, write to Lucien
Stebbins, North Platte, Neb, as to reor-
ganiZation. We must begin to act. The
confusionists are abroad at work preparing
our burial trappings for next falls election

cause must live. Yours

But Few of the Old Native Stock Left.
Holyoke, Mass, Jan. 9, 1899.

Editor Representative:
1 am reader of your valuable paper, as
every working man ought to be, a mid-road
Populist, and have lived in New England all
my life except two years which l spent in
Michigan and Minnesota. In an editorial of
this weeks issue notice you say, God made
people of New England capable of self gov
eminent but let me tell you that the labor
ing men of New England take their ideas
made rom the one and two cent daily papers
If you doubt this, go into their homes and
Iy you doubt this, go into their homes as
1 have, hear the opinions they express, see
themm in the shops and you will find that

wealth who stuffs the proper Ideas into
these people after few general remarks
about being glad to meet them, goes at It
in this way IT says, This is the most III
telligent looking audience we have seen
this season, or something to that effect, and
every mothers son begins to grin and to
think how smart he is.
Now, friend Donnelly, the only way to
educate these men is to make them work
for pay so small that they and their fam
lilies go hungry. Ninety-nine out Of every
100 in New England do not know enough to
distinguish between Socialism, Populisn,
and Republicanism; go look into our mills
and our factories and you will find proof Of

The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh Hail. 8
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda lions
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

THE CORRUPTION OF COURTS.
1t Strikes ut the Very Perpetuity of
Society and Liberty,

1t Strikes at the Very Perpetuity Of
Society and Liberty.
The sensation of the day is speech
made by Judge Blandin, of Cleveland.
1t was not remarkable speech in itself
Judge Blandtn is moi a remarkable
man, but he told the truth evidently
and it came from a man who seems to
be one trusted and respected.
The occasion was proposition to dis
bar an attorney who in a suit for dam
ages growing out of a divorce case,
had made settlement with the defend
ant, and had divided his fee with the
judge on the bench. Blandin, himself
former judge upon the same bench,
dropped all reference to the case
and sailed in in the general ISSUE If
the attorney was guilty che was upon
trial for having stated that he knew Of
things that would snatch the Judge
from his bench) then the Judge himself
was equally as guilty, said Blandin.
The speech is the theme of conversa-
ton among attorneys, and those who
closely watch public events The follow
ing very fairly expresses the sentiments
of Blandin: I'd
"As 1 said in the beginning 1 say
now, it is Of little Importance as COM
pared with the great trial that is now
going on, and must go on before the
public, who are at last the real interest
ed parties, whether Mr.. Burke shall con-
tinue to practice law is of little conse-
quence. But that the general administra-
ton of justice should be torn down and
degraded and dragged in the mire is of
the utmost and last Importance to every
man, woman and child in the country,
and, I may say, to unborn generations,
because when once you have degraded
the courts of this country the last sheet
anchor to which we can hang for the
preservation of our rights and liberties,
you have assailed the roots and foun-
dalton of all that is important to meD
who have liberty and property to be
preserved.
I'm vain will you write the constitu-
tions and laws of procedures unless high
character, integrity and freedom, and
prudence can clothe the judge who sits
upon the bench. Contracts may be writ
ten in vain as we'll and anarchy will
ensue. And so it seems to me that it
is the highest duty of every member of
the bar to separate away all those in
fluences that really shock the public
sense; remove them from the bar and
from the function of assisting or pre-
tending to assist the courts in the adj
ministration of justice.
"And that, in my opinion, can never
be done until first the judges upon the
bench themselves are right.
Il was told not long ago by a re-
Law as She is Practiced in Cleveland
if it told the truth would be one of
the most startling books that could be
written And l believe that you can
never tone up the bar properly until
you begin at the top and tone the bench
up. You cannot work from below up
wards but you must work from above
downwards. And the character of the
bar will never rise higher than the gen
eral character of the bench. 1t will never
rise unless men upon the bench have a
due and proper appreciation of the dig
nifty and Importance Of their position

have been through all the stages Of hope
and disappointment in politics as
"greenback Democrat" in the 'SOties, as an
Independent Greenbacker" and since e2
as a Populist. Ny objects and my prin-
ciples have not changed during these years.
The freedom, prosperity and happiness OF
my country, ar still objects for which to
labor and pray. At time like this, when
love of ease. Of luxury, and Of power, have
seduced so many brainy men, 1t Is beauti-
fully glorious to see manifest the divine
spirit of self abnegatien and sacrifice. This
is the silver lining to the clouds that darken
our horizon. The charity that "thinketh
