GOVERNMENT, ANAROAISM. WHICH?

AuarchiSm, communism and leg
allied robbery are a trinity, feared
by all lovers of good government.
They are elements of danger in any
government. Piracy, plunder, and
i'll gotten gain are characteristic OF
human nature, when no restraint
can arrest their criminal greed.
Against this triumvirate of power
and plunder seeking agencies. all
the energies of the great majority OF
our liberty loving people have been,
and are still directed. These ener-
gies. however, are divided, and the
efforts thus far, have been unavail-
ing.
The curse of partisan spirit has
caused all efforts ineffective, tor the
reason that part of the people hold
to the idea Of protection, while 9th
ers hold to the idea of free trade.
So long as the people remain thus
divided on these questions, they
will continue to be plundered by
one form or other, of the above
named elements.
':United," they would stand" "
but, divided" they fall" The
people are agreed, however, that
public plunder, by reason of class
legislation, in the interest of mon
opoly, trusts, and combines, is
equally as dangerous to the welfare
of our republic and commonwealth
as the other forms of robbery-An-
archism and Communism.
Nearly all the great metropolitan
newspapers, are either owned, or
controlled by the money oligarchy
and naturally enough. they are
divided politically, democratic and
republican, for and against protec-
ton. always raising the tariff issue.
IN order that they may accomplish
their ends-divide public sentiment
and plunder the people by means of
class legislation.
Those metropolitan newspapers,
uo matter what political colors they
i1aunt, all work for the same object,
the same end-the complete king
ship of the money oligarchy. Han
uaism, Wall street, Gold standard
and corruption are Synonymous
And the great metropolitan news
papers are their eXponents.
They are not opponents of agri-
cultural interests. Their only OBJ
ject is political bondage of the
masses to the classes, or, to enslave
the people to the money power.
For illustration: Some years ago
when the Grangers' Tax Bill wa:
pending in the legislature, the OBJ
ject of which was Equalization o
Taxation, to relieve the farmer:
from the unjust burden, unde,
which they were then. and are We
oppressed and goaded, some of tht
Philadelphia dailies raised such +;
huIlabaloo and cry, warning all the
people, and the farmers in particu
lar against such an Ubiquitous AM
uurIghteous measure" which wa
''too inquisitorial," and which re
quired the assessor, or propert,
hunter to "search all houses frou
cellar to garret "a thing that woul
bc uncomfortable, hence, unconstitu
tional.
These same newspapers sent Gil
culars to many post Offices in tn
State, denouncing the iniquitie
OF the Bill, and urging the farmer
to petition the Legislature not t
pass the law. 100 inquisitorial..

American and British Troops Will Move

LONDON, July S1.-Sir Claude Mac.
Donald s welcome dispatch dated Pc
king, July 81, and received in cipher,
is accepted on all sides as dispelling
any doubts that might still have ex-
listed regarding the genuinness of the
dispatch. Owing to an error in trans
mission the message fails to show the
number of wounded David Oliphant
and Warren were two student inter
prefers.
The message fails to mention the
other legations and other matters of
pressing importance to know, but it
should be borne in mind that the Brit.
lsh minister may not be aware that all
his previous dispatches have been sup
pressed. He may be under the impress.
sion that the government is fully posted
regarding all recent occurrences.
Apart from this dispatch there is
practically no fresh news. A dispatch
from Tien Tsin asserts that the British
and American forces are getting ready
to advance within 49 hours. Lii Hung
Chang remains at Shanghai. He says
that the great heat prevents his contin-
ulng the journey to Peking.

WASHINGTON HAS HOPES.
Expects Soon to Get In Direct Communi

Expects Soon to Get In Direct Commune
cation With Conger.
WASHINGTON, July 31-The effect
OF yesterday news from China was to
freshen the hope that the government
can soon get i'll direct communication
with Minister Conger. The mass of
testimony as to his being alive as late
as the 22d inst. is now so late as to war
rant the administration in resuming She
consideration OF projects for the future
With all its anxiety to get Mr.. Conger
and the Americans in Peking safely
away, the department. is proceeding
with proper caution and is by no means
disposed to accept any proposition that
would unduly jeopardize their lives.
Such might be the result of an otfhand
acceptance of the proposition to have
the Chinese government deliver the
foreign ministers at Tien Tsin, for it is
realized that the escort might be over
powered by superior forces of Boxers on
the way to the sea. The state depart.
ment has come to the conclusion that
Mr.. Conger himself is the best person
to judge of the conditions under which
his deliverance shall be effected and,
therefore, it is again looking to the
Chinese government to place it in COM
munication with Mr.. Conger in order
that il may be advised by him.

Made Against Him.

Made Against Him.
GEORGETOWN, KY, July 3t.-Ex-Sec-
retary Of State Caleb Powers took the
stand in his own behalf yesterday but
did not complete his testimony on di-
rect examination. His defense is an
admission that he organized tho body
Of mountaineers who went to Frank
fort on several occasions last winter for
protecting the legislature, but not to in
timidate them. He denied the charges
made against him byWitnesses Culton,
Golden, Noakes and others. On the
stand he denied that Henry Youtsey
had the keys to his Office on the day of
the assassination. but said that there
were two keys to the Office. one of which
was in the possession of former Assist
ant Secretary of State Davidson and an
other in possession of Ben Rowe, Gov
ernor Taylor's colored porter. Powers
says neither of these keys were ever in
his possession and that he had his own
key in his pocket in Louisville the day
of the assassination. Davidson is in the
far west, supposed to be in the state Of
Washington, and Rowe, the colored
porter, is somewhere in Indiana, prob
ably at Anderson.

Early on the morning of July II loud
detonations, as if heavy guns were being

But about 6 o'clock the internal dis
turbances came to climax and tongues
of fire spouted from the crater. We all

LINCOLN, July 3l.-At conference
of the three judges of the supreme court
yesterday it was decided to reopen the
case of the state of Nebraska against

that if it became necessary to go more
