Germ in regard to what it pleases to call
"a selI-oUt to the democrats" by J. H.
Curran, state secretary of the peoples
party, who has been keeping what the
Capital calls an limitation headquart-
ers" at Topeka. The secretary gave
notice that he would close the head
quarters because of lack of funds, and
this is called a sell out According to
the Capital, Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, chairman of the national
committee, is aroused and has kept the
wires hot about the matter. The Capt.
tai seems deeply interested in the
affairs of the peoples party and does
not want it to die. Its sympathy would
draw tears from a turnip.

THE PHILADELPHIA FRANCHISE
GRANT AND ITS LESSON.


GRANT AND ITS LESSON.
Some weeks ago the city council Of
Philadelphia gave away city franchises
to a political ring for which John Wan
amaker offered to pay the sum of 81
100000 After the grant he offered the
grantees 100000 for these franchises.
Such has been the popular indigna-
ton that the republicans Of the "city
of brotherly love" have organized a
political reform campaign and declare
their purpose to fight the corrupt ring
of which Mat Quay is the defacto boss.
Quay is a United States senator and
these reformers will find that this
ring, entrenched in privilege and with
powerful financial backing, viii be
hard to beat.
But why so much ado about this
particular case? 1t is glaring of course.
But it is strictly in line with repubIi-
can policies. The land grants and
subsidies to railroads by the United
States amount to hundreds Of millions
of dollars, and the republican party in
the last congress, backed by admins
tration sympathy and influence, stood
for a ship subsidy calling for a grant
of s18OOOO,OOO.
These former grants are only a 1.-THE
Of what the protective tariff has given
to corporations, mOnopoIies and trusts;
and is just as much a direct gift of
franchise, Of what belongs to the PEG
pie, to private individuals and cOrpOr-
ations as that in the Philadelphia case.
A protective tariff, to the extent of
its protection, is a grant of power to
tax the people for the benefit Of the
corporation or industry protected. 1t
is as much as to say you may take so
much, in excess Of its value, out of the
pockets Of the people for your wares.
The amount to which the people of
the United States have been muIcted
in this way would foot up billions of
dollars instead of millions; and of all
this stupendous amount, not a penny
has gone into the treasury of the
United States.
Then these aggrandized capitalists
turn and break up smaller concerns.
Whence came the boards of a Carnegie
and other multo-milIionaires? From
the pockets of the people by the gift
Of the government.

publican paper that it has saved Kan
sas farmers more than 100000 this
year. The trust was compelled to re-
duce its prices two or three cents to
meet the competition which the peni-
Tertiary plant provided This was a
direct saving to the farmers. But that
was not all the good done. While the
convicts were making Irvine they we're
not engaged In work which brought
them into competition with any Of the
states free labor. 1t is a good law and
a good plan for furnishing employ
ment for cOnvicts"

OUR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE.

OUR NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE
Next to the memorials of Christian
faith, the memorial of our national in
dependence should be cherished and
observed by every patriotic citizen.
There should be a thoughtful re-
membrance of the sacrifices of those
who have gone before in the establish
ment and preservation of our liberties
and a renewed determination to follow
their example and to do our duty in
peace or in war to further perpetuate
the system of government as planned
and ordained by the fathers; that, as
Lincoln said, "a government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie might not perish from the earth ,
Jollity is excUsabIe and natural, but
there is a solemnity of obligation that
in thoughtful minds would tend to
seriousness. Foes of liberty are not
always armed and advancing with ban
ners flying. They more often advance
by stealth, and secure their ends by
hOneyed and lying words, by partisan
uPPOnAo8 Oy oOPuAobLy duu OElUoEg. LJ-
eTnal vigilance is the price of liberty.
And this vigilance should be more pro
nOunced in peace than in war.
The immortal Lincoln said in his de
bate with Douglas that the fathers
formulated and published to the world
the declaration of independence as an
enunciation of principles for all time,
knowing as they did the tendency of
great wealth to foster and beget tyr
rany.n
If this be true, boasting of great ma
tiOnal wealth is not wise. The corner
stone of the temple of liberty is not
gold, but the solid rock of truth, JUS
tice and righteousness. The virtue
and wisdom Of the great common peo-
pie is, and always has been, the safety
of the nation. It's hope is the man and
not the dollar.

THE COMMISSIONERS OF PENSIONS

AND THE G. A. r.
The national organization of the
Grand Army of the Republic has been
strongly opposed to Pension Commits
sioner Evans administration of the
pension bureau, not because old sol
diers want to loot the national treas
ury, but, as they claim, because of Mr..
Evans arbitrary and unlawful rulings.
All through Mr.. McKinley's first term
they pied with the president for his
removal, and protested against his ad-
ministration of the Office, but Presid-
ent Mckinley remained firmly opposed
to his removal
1t was expected, however, that at the
expiration of his term of Office in
March, the president would appoint a
successor more satisfactory to the old
soldier. This has not been done as
yet, and when it is done, Mr.. Evans
very likely will be promoted by the
president to some better position as a
reward for his services. On a question
of veracity between Gen. SickeIs. Of
New York, and Senator Scott, of West
Virginia, as to the promise of Evans
removal, the following press dispatch
is in point
New York, June 29.-Nettled by the
denial of Senator Scott, of West Vir-
ginia, chairman Of the last republican
national committee, that the removal
of Commissioner Evans, Of the bureau
Of pensions, had been promised, Gen.
Daniel Sickles to- day made public the
correspondence in regard to the dis
puted matter. Gen. Sickles expressed
great indignation.
IN view Of this denial" he said, ST
herewith give to the press my CORE
spOndence with Senator Scott. Based
upon these assurances from the re-
publican national committee, I caused
it to be known in the western states 1
visited in October, that Commissioner
Evans would be superseded in March
when his term expired.
"These assurances were ratified by
the president on November %, after
the election, in the presence of repre-
sentative soldiers from different parts
OF the country, when We visited him at
the white house by appointment to
congratulate him upon his re- election.
He then stated to Us that it was his
intention to choose q successor to Com
missioner Evans at the expiration of
his term Of Office.
'On September Is, 1900, received a
letter from Senator Scott, asking me Il
l would consent to give my services to
the committee during the campaign
81 replied, saying that I was satisfied
that my usefulness during the cam
psign would be greatly augmented if
I we're authorized TO convey to repre-

sentative members Of the Grand Army
the following assurances:
''First-T That, in the event Of our
success, Commissioners Evans viii not
be reappointed.
SSecOnd-That his successor shall be
a person acceptable to the represents
tives (to-wit, the pension committee) Of
the G. A R, recently appointed at the
Chicago encampment, of which 1 am
one.
SOn the same day 1 received the fol
lowing reply:
"'My Dear General Siekles: Yours of
the 9th to hand and contents noted.
OF course it would be impossible for
me to say to you that the president
would not appoint or that he would
appoint certain individuals, but think
can safely say that I hardly think
Evans will be continued as commits

ance of the chairman of the national
republican committee, I had promised

missioner Evans would not be reap
pointed. I added that the demand fol
his removal was growing daily.
81 must decline to say whether OF
not have received an answer to this

WHAT THE PEOPLES PARTY Has
nnNE

OOENL
The peoples party has been a power
full force in protest against wrong
The leaven infused into political par
ties has worked and is still working
wheter the party is to remain a ma
tional organization or not. The demo
cratic party was practically compelled
to incorporate the substance of PEG
pies party demands into their plat.
form. Defeat in the last two presiden-
tial elections does not prove the re
form party to be wrong; but right, ct
ernally right.
The majority is not always right, but
In most cases wrong. The majority
clamored for and secured the cruel
txion of Christ. Lincoln was a min
GRITTY president at the time of his first
election. Defeat in the cause of right
IS preferable to success in the cause of
wrong. So possess your souls in pat
fence.
Some will enquire: What has the
peoples party done?" In answer to
this it may be said they have stood for
principle and have not budged a hair
as to their platform and demands.
Where they have had the power they
have done wonders. In the state of
Kansas they put the uniform text
book law in the statutes. This one
law has saved $4,000 annually to the
people of Kansas. So strong was this
law that the republicans. although
they had the majority in both houses
OF the legislature last winter, could
not repeal it.. Other laws might be
mentioned but this one is cited be
cause Of the prominence given the
matter in recent attempts at its re-
peal The following from the Smith
County Journal on the law establish
ing a binding twine mandatory at
the state penitentiary is in point:
Every few days people run across
some republican wind-jammer. who
wants to know what good the populist
party ever did the farmers of Kansas
OF course ne is making a talk. he
does not expect his hearer to be well
enough posted to tell him. But Sc
many good things have been accomp-
lished by the populist, party that the
interrogation usually gets badly fooled
And then the good results accruinp
from many Of the good things done
while populists were in power didn't
become apparent at once. There Is
the binding Irvine plant at the peni-
Tertiary. It was created By bin orr
ginating in the populist state senate
and It IS now stated By a leading re
