The public man, who loyalty defends
the interests of the people, has many
difficulties to contend with in congress
and many other public positions. Such
man stands as bulwark against the
schemes of those who would subordi-
nate human rights. He becomes obnox
ious to the managers of the special in
terests that want special privileges, and
they send their emissaries to his state or
district to undermine him and destroy
him politically. Some popular man is
encouraged to become candidate for
nomination to his place, and the power
and influence and money of this corpo-
rate conspiracy are put behind this can
didate, and the true servant of the PEG.
pie finds himself defeated for renomina-
tion, and he is retired from public life
retired because he was true represen.
tative of the people and dared to defy
this corporate monster. This process
has been worked SO silently and secretly
that the people have not recognized the
handiwork by which majority in their
legislative bodies have been controlled.
The world at large is familiar with
the case of the British against the
Beers, but little of an authoritative
character has been heard of the Beers
against the British. That is fact
which lends very special interest to an
article entitled, "a Trsnsvaal View of
the South African Question, "contribut-
ed to the October plumber of the North
American Review BY the editor of the
official organ of the Boer Government,
DIR. +. V. Engelenburg, who gives
historical account of the circumstances
in which, the South African Repub-
lie was founded and a statesman of
the circumstances which he be-
lieves, justify the course OF his
government in their present conten-
tion with England. The Beers are
confident of the right and the ultimate
success of their cause; 1.-The Beers do
not ask for mercy; they ask for justice.
Those who keep up the unfair agitation
against the South African Republic are
the last men, however, to listen to the
voice of righteousness, or to be guided
by any noble impulse; political corrup-
ton is the seed they SOW, and by their
unexampled opportunities they feel
confident of reaping their criminal har-
vest. Up to the present they have
gathered only tears; still more bitter
time of reaping has yet to come. In
the past, the Beers have been able to
fight against immensely superior odds
They feel that the final victory will be
theirs for they know that they have
right on their side"

liable will of the people. The opening
net was the laying of the cornerstone
of the new building for the postoffice
and other offices of the federal govern

placing in the center thereof the arti-
cles that are to go down to generations
yet unborn was an impressive one.
Presidents Part In the Ceremony.

effect in the actual laying of the block.

GOVERNMENT FRAUDS.

The Representative.
Paste these figures in a convenient
place for reference.
In 1919 with a population of 5000, 900
the appropriations for government ex-
penses were SIS, 100000. In Jackson 3
day the annaul appropriations for gov
eminent expenses we're S13, 900 ,000, with
population of Is, 600 600, people, and
as late as 1860 our annaul appropria-
tions did not exceed $50, 100000. AS
will be noted, up to 1860 and during all
the years of developing new country,
Americans were taxed for the support
of their national government not to ex-
coed 81 per head.
In the year of Mckinley 1899 aside
from the expense of the Philippine
slaughter, costing 100000, 900 a year,
government expenses run over $500 600,
QUO per year. DO you want to know
where all this money goes? Ask Han
ma, Alger, Armor, Cramp, Carnegie,
Morgan, Rockefeller. When you are
taxed SO per head there must be leak
some place. The same party runs the
machine today as in 1860. We still en-
joy Republican administration.
In 1860 we had government of the
people, by the people and for the people
headed by man Lincoln.
In 1899 we have a government of the
people by money bags and for the mon-
ey bags, headed by a hog Hanna.
Every reader of this paper should see
to it that some good hard headed, rock.
ribbed Republican read the account of
the government purchases CT war yes
sells. If he will then stand by the Re
publican party he is lost to all deency
and Is lost to all hope of reformation.
