report above referred to was sent out
by the Democrats at Washington, to
make it appear that the Populists and
Republicans were working in concert
to elect Mckinley.
Mr.. Barker may have paid visit of
courtesy to the president; nearly all
prominent personages who find them
selves at the capital do so; but we do
not think he ever said anything that
would indicate that the Peoples party
had no higher motives, or cause Of
being than the defeat Of Bryan or any
other man. We stand upon certain
great principles which effect the future
of this country and of the whole world;
we are laboring to make those principles
triumphant, and we do not care a
farthing which party or what candidate
we help or hurt in the meantime. They
are all alike hinderances to reform and
unmitigated humbugs.
Don't forget that smart rascals can
sit at the elbows of telegraph operators
in Washington, New York and Chicago

A TRUST TO FIGHT TRUSTS.

Major Hotchkiss is very indignant
against Mr.. John C. Hanley because he
is trying to organize the farmers to get
| dollar bushel for their wheat, in
stead of SO cents. The major says 1t is
"a trust" and he intimates that John
! should be hanged.
Don't be too severe, major; didn't
you ever hear of Fighting the devil with
fire." If we can only liberate the
farmers from lot of trusts by organ
izing another trust, for Gods sake bring
on your farmers trust. We are hunger
ing and thirsting for it.
The farmers are the only class in the
United States that are not organized
for self-protection, and hence they are
plundered by all other classes. Hanley
is fool enough to think that this
ought to be stopped Hotchkiss is wise
enough to think it should be continued
indefinitely. He Is one OF the watch
men on the towers of agriculture, and
he thinks that the more that is taken
from the farmers the richer they are;
and the better able they are to sustain
such an original and valuable paper as
his own.
And he looks upon any man who pro-
poses that little of the farmers earn
ings should be left in their own pockets
as william of the darkest dye.
Hotchkiss has never done anything for
the farmers since God (or the deviD
made him; and he thinks that in him
the delighted world may see a type of
the highest perfection of the human
animal.
The major speaks of Mr.. Hanley as
"Ignatius Donnelly's vagabond and
stearing agent" We have searched
the dictionary in vain to find the word
"stearing," for we know that the major
Is learned man; but the nearest ap-
Proclamation we could find is ''stearine:"
lone of the proximate principles of
animal fat" and "stearone," "a form of
fat soluable in alcohol" It may be that
the major is "soluable in alcohol" but
Hanley belongs to the Father Matthew
Temperance society. The dictionary
further tells us that "stearone" is "fus-
ible at 180 degrees" The major will
fuse" at much less than that, especially
If there is little Office at the Soldisrs'
Home to warm up the pot
Major, major; dry up and don't be-
tray yourself by talking Internal non
sense. Let Hanley alone. If he pro-
poses anything for the good of the hu-
man family we will give it careful and
critical consideration, and if it has
any merit we will sustain it. We don't
swear by him any more than we do by
you-and II we did the latter our friends
would send us to the lunatic asylum.

CoNTEMPTIBLE,

The newspapers all over the country
have been attacking Hon. P. H. Ra-
hilly, because in his speech at Cincin-
natl, May 10, when nominating Mr. Don
nelly for vice-president. he quoted
from a speech of Daniel Dougherty
when nominating Grover Cleveland IL
years ago. The part SO quoted was but
small part Of Mr.. Rahilly's able
speech. In the reporting of the proceed
ings Mr.. Rahilly's speech passed
through the hands of stenographers and
typewriters and the quotation marks
around Dougherty's remarks were some
how dropped out and the critics are now
Jumping on him and claiming he pre-
tended they were original with him.
The real gist Of Mr.. Rahilly's offense
ia:
l. He is Populist.
2. He will not abandon his PRINCIPLES
for once.
3. He is farmer.
I. He is an Irishman.
B. His first name is Patrick.
And so the cry goes out: Down with
him! Kick him! Roll him in the mud!
He ought to be digging bitches instead
Of taking part in public affairs!"

A QUESTION OF VOTES.

1gnatius Donnelly's nomination to the
vice presidency has renewed in aim the
springs of bitter wit and biting sarcasm.

out even among the played out. He is moth
ing minus twice itself He is an emblem of

pole. reached nowhere and was not" Don
nelly will never forgive Owen for getting

II Mr.. Owen is SO formidable Pop
ulist, why is this Republican paper pat
ting him on the back? Do they want to
see the Peoples party carry the state
and defeat their own candidate? Or,
II Donnelly is such weak man why not
push him ahead and keep the state Re-
publican?
And why not tell that Donnelly ran
for governor in 1892. presidential
year, and then had 39,862 votes while
Jas. B. Weaver, the Peoples party can
didate for president, had more than
10000 less than Donnelly had. His vote
was 1888. Donnelly led a forlorn
hope and ran 1O,549 votes ahead of his
ticket.
Owen ran in an "off year" against
George L. Becker, who ran Al, 1000 votes
behind his predecessor, Dan Lawler!
But let the Journal set up Owen for
governor this year of grace 1900, and
we will settle his running qualities for

TWO MURDERERS DIE BY PROXY
Chinese Slayers of Missionary Brook
Pay $1,000 for Substitutes.

Especial to the Times Herald.)
VANCOUVER, B. c., May 16.-News of
the punishment Of the Chinese murderers of
Missionary Brooks comes by the steamship
Empress of China.
Fifteen men were concerned in the crime.
The one who struck the fatal blow was SEN
fenced to be beheaded; the next in guilt was
ordered to be strangled, and the others were
given long prison sentences.
The North China News says the two men
condemned to die were permitted to buy
substitutes. The News says that for 5000
paid to the family of the substitute. the
man sentenced to be beheaded was enabled
to die by proxy, and that for $500 the man
who was destined to the moose also found a
substitute who took that way Of providing
for his family.
What a dreadful commentary is this
upon the condition of the people Of
China, when for few hundred dollars
secured to his family. man will give
up his life!
And this is the condition which plu-
tocracy is rapidly bringing the people
Of this country to.
In Georgia wages are from 10 cents
to 60 cents day Of IL hours each, and
white GeOrgians are manufacturing cot
ton goods and selling them in China
cheaper than the Chinese can make
them.

CINCINNATI PLATFORM

The Peoples party Of the United
States. assembled ID national conven-
tion this 10th day Of May. 1900. af-
0rming our unshaken belief In the
cardinal tenets Of the Peoples :
party, a set forth 10 the Omaha
platform. and pledging ourselves
anew to continued advocacy Of those
grand principles Of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed. do adopt and
proclaim this declaration Of faith:
1. We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date, or such changes Of existing
and fundamental and statute law as
will enable the people in their sover-
eign capacity to propose and compel
the enactment Of such laws as they
desire; to reject such as they deem
injurious to their interests, and to
recall unfaithful public servants.
g. We demand the public owner
ship and operation of those means of
communication, transportation and
: production which the people may
elect, such as railroads, telegraph
and telephone lines, coal mines, etc.
3. The land, including all nat
ural sources Of wealth, is a heritage
Of the people. and should not be
monopolized for speculative purposes
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All land now held by
railroads and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs, and all
lands now owned by aliens should be
> reclaimed by the government and
held for actual settlers only.
4. A scientific and absolute paper
money, based upon the entire wealth
and population of the nation, not re- !
deemable in any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for all
debts, and receivable for all taxes
and public dues, and issued by the
government only, without the inter-
vention of banks, and In sufficient
quantity to meet the demands Of
commerce, is the best currency that
can be devised; but until such a
financial system is secured. which we
shall press for adoption, we will IA
vor the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ra-
ito of 16 to 1.
5. We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on in
comes and inheritances, and a con-
stitutional amendment to secure the
same. il necessary.
8. We demand the election OF pres
ident, vice-president, federal Judges
and United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
Z. We are opposed to trusts, and
declare the contention between the
old parties on the trust and monop-
; oily question is sham battle and
) that no solution Of this mighty prob
lem is possible without the adoption
of the principles Of public ownership

tend that he did not receive substantially

100000 souls ought not to be punished
for doing little stealing on their priv

In the old time if man was convict
ed of murder and sentenced to be hang
ed, all he had to do, when brought to
the scaffold was to call for a copy of
the bible, and read from it "the neck
verse" (verse 1, 51st Psalm), and the
authorities could not hang him. Read
ing and writing were such rare gifts
that the presumption was that he was a
clergyman, and he had to be turned over
TO the church to try and punish; which
they didn't always do.
We should have law that whenever
a man is proved guilty of crime and
can show he is a broker, he should go
scot-free. Now they are chasing cer-
tain amiable financial gentlemen, like
the Taylors, all over the country for
numbering whole families, and our
prisons are choked with innumerable
swindlers, embezzlers and defaulters
belonging to some of the most respect
able banking institutions in the world.
Do not let any person conclude be-
cause of these examples that the money
lenders are not the only ones fit to run
the government. They may be grasp
ing and cruel and selfish when they
get after a private mans property, but
when they take an interest in public
affairs they rise to the highest level of
benevolence and philanthropy; and
their whole aim is to make the people
better, happier and richer
Let us, therefore, fence them around
with protective enactments so that
the rude hands of sheriff or constable
may never fall on their shoulders. Let
us see that they marry early; and let
the government offer bonus for every
man child born unto them; SO that the
precious breed of public benefactors may
never disappear from the face Of the
