Except the editor of the Representa-
tive and the Midroad Populists who are
on the highway Of righteousness and
peace, the whole world stands today as
it stood eighteen hundred year ago, be-
fore the suppliant Christ upon the cross

most vital to the happiness Of all, how
much land and money would you like to
have? Every man of the mammon of
unrighteousness would say, "I'n take
all l can get and a little more, too,"
which simply reveals the hellish greed
now growing more intense; as time
goes on, under the present system of
trusts and the monopoly of land and
money, against which God has forever
declared: "Woe unto him that removes

AN OPEN LETTER.

To the Popul;sts of the State Of Idaho:
Although some details are not yet
fully known, the political situation con-
fronting tho Peoples party in this state
at the present time may With consider
able certainty be described as follows:

the Democratic party leaders, and as a
result the state ticket nominated by the
Peoples party convention at PocatellO,
in July last, has now been virtually sold
out. The Bryan-Towne presidential
electors have withdrawn in favor of
Bryan-Stevenson electors nominated by
the Democratic convention, and COM
bination state ticket has been made up
under the name of Democratic, consist
ing of majority of Democratic candi-
dates, together with few Populists, So
called, and with F. Dubois. Silver Re-
publican, as the indorsed candidate for
United States senator. This fusion
ticket the Populists of Idaho will now
be asked to support and vote for, in
spite of the fact that the Peoples party
state convention at Pocatello decided
against fusion and nominated Peoples
party state ticket (although the con-
ventton had evidently been called for
the very purpose of effecting fusion
with the Democratis).
Will the true and honest Populists Of
Idaho quietly submit to such treachery,
and permit scheming politicians to sell
the Peoples party out in order to de-
stroy it or make it simply side show of
the Democratic circus? 1t has been
tried before and with some success, and
if it is allowed to pass again this year.
without being effectively counteracted,

let us make an earnest effort, no matter
how hard the times or how busy the

destruction, and our grand principles
from being bartered away. Let us rail-
ly around the banner of true Populism

Gus victory of an honorable defeat. A

within a few days. Let US get together
in said state convention, as many as
possibly can attend, members of the

principles of this party, and formost
among these the principle of direct leg
islation, the initiative and referendum,

mentioned call. Let us consult and rea-
son together, and although we may not
always agree as to details, if we can
get together in support Of our funda-
mental reform principles, our move
ment may yet become an important fac
tor in the political affairs of this state,
and the integrity and honor of the PeO-

those scheming political hucksters and
pie hunters, who are always ready to

the purpose of establishing an annex to

Both old parties-I mean the leaders

industrial and farming population OF
our common country.
The piratical government of England

the plain American people, and is an
avowed enemy to all republics and all
forms of republican governments.

emissaries at the capital of the nation

great Abraham Lincoln, who could not
but stand by his duty: The protection
and perpetuation of the union of states
and republican liberty; even he could
not stay the whitening influence OF
Great Britain. sqof

How long will it take before the hew-
ers of wood and the carriers of water
will learn to organize their scattered

Will they again vote for trusts, and
syndicates, and captains of industry,
so-called, at the expense of the plain
people?
1t behooves the voter to study the
platforms of the political parties in the
field and see which one has the straight
est, the soundest planks in them.
Though we venture no prediction, we
hope common sense will rule.
Let us, then, endeavor to vote our
honest convictions, that we may enjoy

TO SUPPRESS ILLICIT DIsIILLING.
Licenses In Philippines Held Responsible for
Many Disorders.

Gen. Macarthur has decided to sup
press illicit distlling in the Philippines.
He has begun his crusade in Manila by
seizing the entire stock OF impure api-
sado carried by one of the largest liquor
firms OF the city. The makers of bad
intoxicants will also be proceeded
against.
The authorities have been impressed
with the large number OF applications
that come in daily. especially from the
Chinese, requesting license for the man
ufacture OF wine, whiskey, etc. The
traffic is, however, not confined to
Chinamen. Many Americans and Eu-
ropcans have gone into the business
with every appearance OF profit.
The effect OF this business in the army
is to increase the number OF courts
martial. Army officers at Manila Off =
oially express the opinion that the Ii
cense which has prevailed in regard 10
sellers OF bad liquor is accountable for
the disorder which prevails in some
quarters.
