PEELED henceforth to read with downcast
gaze the matchless axioms- Of Jefferson
and to humble in confusion the heroic
history of our dead-whether the Fourth
OF July is to be henceforth day of en-
barrassment and shame instead of, as
hitherto, an occasion of spontaneous and
boundless pride-whether Yorktown and
Monmouth are to become events which,
instead OF inspiring continent to eulogy
and song, shall provoke no higher elo-
quence than that which gutterals from the
limping lips of apology-whether the po-
litical wisdom of the founders of the re-
public, CLEANED in terrible hours, by anx-
ious eyes, from the travail of ages past,
shall be swept away by the heartless lev
ity OF upstart Observation-Disclosures, in
short, We shall turn our backs inexorably
upon the pasta past glorious in achieve
ment and unrivaled in precept-and be-
come the wretched exemplars of policy,
ruinous to ourselves and to our children,
repulsive to every truly civilized mind and
destructive of the fairest hopes of hui
manity-these are questions that assail
with relentless emphasis the consciences
of great people, Howard Moore in
Chicago Chronicle, March 9th, 1899.
We do not endorse all the strong Ian
guage in the foregoing, for it might be
misconstrued, but we admire the senti-
ment that we believe inspired that Ian
guage. This country never stood in
greater need of Patrick Henry, Wash

Lincoln and regiment like John Brown
What a spectacle to see petition signed
by hundreds of our nations greatest citi-
zens to stop the carnage in the Philip

Americas most servile administration,

What pity that the bull dog hasn't sense
enough to turn on his master who is
rubbing his ears.
What a pity that our brave boys in the
Philippines may not set sail for New

To this letter Belmont retorted tartly
and insultingy. The result is there will
be two banqucts in New York-one of
goldbugs at $Io per plate, and one of
the Bryan Democrats at ST plate.
The difference between them is ineradi-
cable. 1t looks as if history was about
to repeat itself. In 1860 the Democratic
party had votes enough to control the
country, and the Republican party was
largely in the minority. The Democrats
split in two over the slavery question,
and the result was two nominating con-
ventions and two candidates, and the Re-
publicans slipped into power. If the diff
ferences in the Democratic party arose
out Of questions of spoil or patronage,
they could easily be healed, but they come
from profound and tremendous interests
reaching all over the world. The money
power in itself cares nothing for the
Democratic party or its success, and is
not to be placated by any division of Of
fees.
1t is very evident that if the Belmont
crowd controls the national Democratic
convention in 1900, the friends of Mr.
Bryan will bolt; and if Bryan controls
the convention the Gold-bug element will
bolt The probabilities are, that with un-
bounded resources of money, and the
compatibility of human nature, the pluto
cratic side of the Democratic party will
win in the next convention In that
event what will Bryan and his friends do?
Will they hold another convention and
put up Mr.. Bryan for president? Would
Mr.. Bryan be willing to run as nominee
OF part of the Democratic party?
The elections of 1895 show that even
with the support of the united Demo
Gratis, he would probably be beaten Cerz
tainly he cannot win with the support OF
one-half or twothords of them.
Every one will see this and the result
will be millions of them will turn to the
Peoples party; and it may sweep the
country. In any event our people should
work night and day to reorganize the
party, and to this end the Populist clubs
are Of the utmost Importance. They will
be the backbone of the movement; they
will consolidate the votes and smash
traitors who would sell us out No sus-
pected man of the Bowler stripe could
get footing in them and run with the
Populist hare while training with the
Democratic hounds.
There is everything in existing condi-
tons to encourage Our people to put
forth their best efforts. 1t may be we
will repeat the experience of the Repub-
lican party in 1860 There is certainly a
tremendous sentiment in the country that
is opposed to both the old parties, but
last fall millions of them stayed at home
and refused to vote because they were
without hope. The sky is now roseate
with the dawn of hope. ID.

HOW IT LOOKS.

An intelligent Populist writes us let
ter in which he makes the following
statements:
l have been in Washington and New
York several times lately, and have met
influential men OF both the republican
and democratic parties In confidence |
the democratic party cannot be closed
and the conflict between the two factions
is SO bitter that the breakup Of that par
ty is in my judgment sure. The gold
and corporation men will, | think, control
the next democratic convention and NOM
mate Senator German for president, On
platform that will satisfy New York, New
England and Eastern Democrats. The
money cllques are opposed to the impe
rial policy of Mckinley and are backing
Tom Reed with the intention Of forcing
Mckinley to surrender to them, of if they
fail in this nominate Reed for president
At the moment those who contribute
money to campaigns are with Reed and
not with Mckinley. OF course this
makes conflict bitter and determined
among republicans 1 have been in con-
sutation with influential Irish leaders and
| am satisfied that the Barker-D onnelly
ticket can get at least 2,ooo,o votes from
Irish-American citizens l have also had
talks with some labor leaders, and think
we can expect at least 100000 votes or
organized labor outside and beyond the
IrishAmerican votes for our ticket, and
if we can get 100000 Populist votes we
will go into the campaign with vote of
at least 100000 to count on. not as Ma
poleon counted upon the "old guard"
but as general can count on the ordin-
airy soldier Until lately no one could
see clearly the break up in the democratic
party. the conflict in the republican party,
and the general unrest, but now anyone
who has access to inside information such
as l have can see that the Barker-Don-
nelly ticket can be elected next year. if
those charged with the conduct of the
peoples forces in the campaign do their
duty
In confederation of these views we find
bitter battle being waged among the
Democrats OF New York. Perry Bel
mont (the relative and representative OF
the Rothschilds), in conjunction with
Richard Croker, the Tammany boss, are
getting up Jefferson Birthday Banquet
at New York at $40 a plate Belmont
sent Bryan an invitation to be present,
to make twenty minues speech. Bryan
perceived that this was a nest of his inn
placable enemies, SO he refused to attend,
charging that Belmont and his crowd had
sold out the Democratic party in 1896,
and that they would probably do so again.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

Senators Butler and Mason, OF the
committee on postoffices and postroads
in report favoring the establishment
OF United States postal savings banks
make a very strong presentment OF
the case, and there is some probability
that the senate will act favorably on
the report.
1t is significant that at the very
time when senate committee is re-
porting favorably on this addition to
our postal system, the committee sent
by Mckinley to investigate affairs in
Hawaii which has been annexed, have
reported that they find a postal saw
ings bank already in operation in that
republic and they recommend that the
system be abolished by congress.
In private letter to the Ruralist SEN
ator Butler calls attention to this report
of the Hawaiian commissioners There
is no doubt but the bankers are alarmed
at the notion of annexing system which
they have been fighting for fifty years. To
admit the system will be dangerous, for
ii it proves practicable in Hawaii it may
spread to the mainland and become a
part OF the postal system here also.
The senate committee report is a
valuable compendium OF information on
this subject, and may be obtained by ad-
dressing any senator and asking for re-
port No. I5o4-Dakota Ruralist
Be careful, Mr. Mckinley, or the peo-
pie will think you are not only opposed
to reform in the United States but ready
to overthrow it in our colonies

racy stick out too plainly. 1t may fright

STARVING GENIUS.

We find the following startling article
in the peoples World of Florida, of a
recent date:
In speaking of the recent tragic death,
by his own hand, of the great editor and
poet, Hamilton Jay, the Florida Journal
of last week says:
He was man Of unquestioned abil-
ity and truly wonderful force of character.
That he was brilliant no man
who has ever known him can deny; vet.
with all the God-given accomplishments
with which he was endowed, this gentle
man and genius was in his latter days,
actually starved into the dreadful deter
mlnation to take his own life. <
We need men like him to tell of the pow
erty and degradation which lies in wait
tor honor and virtue under the appalling
conditions of this country"
From the Journal, which dares to tell
the truth, we turn to the corporation T
UCitizen and then we find that whole
world prosperous, business lively, work
plenty, and general prosperity falling like
gentle showers on all mankind. And vet
while, from the press OF the T. U. c. such
abominable rot was pouring, the noble
Jay was actually starving only short
distance from that office. Will the Peo-
pie always pay for, swallow and believe
what they see, feel and know by their own
sad experience to be black and damnable
falsehoods.
This is terrible; and it is shocking to
think that such an event could take place
anywhere under the stars and stripes, and
not create the most intense excitement
throughout the whole country.
But you will see no such quotations in
the old party papers.
Indeed it is to the Populist papers alone
that the people must look for informa-
ton as to the real conditions which sur
round them Id.

! A Lesson of Love |
BY Will s. Gidley.

GERALD GORDON, the new school
VI superintendent for the town of
Peacedale, was young-that is, COM
paratively young-say not more than
81 at the outside, and for some reason
best known to himself, still bachelor.
He was not what would be called a
handsome man exactly, but he was the
possessor of a graceful, well-knit figure,
and a clean-cut, self-reliant face, from
which a pair of honest gray eyes looked
forth unfinchingly upon the world.
just now they were looking into a
pair as honest as his own-the troubled
blue eyes of Ethel Ellis, the teacher in
one of Peacedale's half dozen schools.
Il am very sorry, Mr.. Gordon, that
you should have heard such poor re-
ports of my school," she said, looking
the new superintendent frankly in the
face. "Yes, am very sorry, indeed
and the speakers eyes certainly looked
as if she meant it; in fact, Gerald Cor
don was almost certain he detected a
tear in one of them at that very mo-
ment-"but 1 don't think it is wholly
my fault.
II have tried hard enough to keep or
der, and if the three or four big boys
who have made all the trouble had a
spark of chivalry or manliness in their
nature L should have no difficulty in
controlling the school; but do you
knnxy Mr.. Gnrlpp fhara IN
simply won't behave, and there is moth
ing in their makeup, no sense of fair
ness or justice, no gentlemanly in
stincts, absolutely nothing to which one
can appeal to induce them to do 500"
"You put the case rather strongly,
Miss Ellis" replied the new superin-
tendent, thoughtfully; ''but, after all,
there is little doubt that you are right.
Such boys are natural-born DULLES, and
