favored monopolists, who, not being satisfied
with their already enormous profits, sought to
enlarge them by bringing in cheap labor from
the dark by-ways and alleys of Italy, Hungary
and Poland. These people, who knew nothing
but oppression at home, found the same thing
awaiting them here, where they are starved by
their employers and assassnated by American
workmen whose places they have usurped.
The monopoles prepared the soil, imported
and carefully nurtured the seed, and yet, they
exclaim in horror that their labors end in fru.
ition. What would the gentlemen expect?
Would you gather figs from thistles? Is it
in the nature of the brute that the fierce wolf,
goaded by hunger, will he peaceful occupant
of the sheep cote? Nay, verify! What ma
tion soweth, that will it reap.
The trusts respect no law, nor the rights Of
man, yet, like any other anarchist, they are
the frs. to call for public protection.
Remove the anarchist Stamp him ont, root
and branch-camly, peacefully and III digni-

speech or act, but put no ban on free speech or

not Secretary of State Clark is correct in hold
ing :hat Peoples Party is compound name,
and cannot be used on the ballot.
David Overmyer and Major A. M. Harvey have
been retained by the populists to look after
the case.
"That the anti-fusion law is iron-clad and
free from loop-holes is becoming more evident
every day. Recently, the Democrats and Pop
ulists held an union convention and nominated
ticket which they dubbed the Fusion Ticket
They have just discovered that this ticket can
not be placed on the ballot, from the fact that
there is no Fusion party. If they desire the
ticket placed on the ballot under this head,
they will have to call another convention and
organize a new party. Either this must be
done, or the ticket will have to be known as
'Democratic'"

A good deal of incendiary talk is being in
dulged in by the galvanized press of this coun-
try regarding the causes leading up 10 the assas

This talk is untimely, uncaled for and inde-

1t is meet and fitting that the people should
studiously search for the cause of anarchy IN

capital out of it is cheap, and brands the par

OF all parties in the history OF this country,
where is one that has more persistenly waved

party these galvanized papers owe allegiance. al

richer fields for plunder, they would quickly

1t is. high time to study causes and effects,

IT'S UP TO POPULISTS.
MUST ADOPT A NEW PARTY NAME.
Result Of Republican Legislation.

Last Sundays Topeka Capital contains the
following, which is of special interest to the
Popusts of Kansas:
"'rhe Popuists of Kansas are in deep trouble.
They find thar they have been legislated out of
their name. Officially, they have been known
as the Peoples Party although commonly
called the 'Populist' party. Under the new
anti-fusion election law, the name of political
organization must be composed of not more
than one word. AS result, the words 'Peo-
ple's Party Ticket cannot be placed OIL the
ballot Peoples Ticket could be printed on
the ballot, but this is ruled out in the present
case, as there is no such organization as the
Party organization. Nothing remains but for
the Populists to meet in convention and choose
a new name.
"John Curran, secretary of the Populist state
central committee, made the discovery that his
party practically had been legislated out of ex-
istence. He called OH Secretary of State Geo.
A. Clark, yesterday, to look up the law, and
found that It was just as he feared. 1t is more
than probable meeting of the Popuist state
central committee will be called soon to discuss
what is best to be done. Mr.. Curran has asked
David Overmyer for his advice, but the latter,
as vet, has not rendered his opinion on the
matter.
"Polticians assert that the only thing the
Populi,ts can do, If they wish to maintain their
organization and have ticket in the field next
year, is to call special convention and decide
on a name, select party emblem and file GER
,iicates, embodying the same, with the secre-
tary of state. This, of course, will entail
considerable trouble and expense, but it seems
10 be the only way open to preserve the iden.
titv of the Populist party.
'tWhile the Populsts are bemoanng their
h ,rd fate, the Democrats are secretly laughing
j., their sleeves. Last winter, they expressed
,,emselves as being completely satisfied with

DRAWERS OF WATER.
1t fell upon day that would instruct my
son. therefore, l read unto him from the book
of Equality" these words, saying: "There
was a certain very dry land, and all the water
was brought together in one place, and there
did the capitalists make great tank for to hold
it,"
"Why didn't the people make some tanks?"
asked the boy.
'|Because," said l. "banking laws prevented
them. Don't interrupt" And the capitalists
said unto the people,
"For every bucket of water that ye bring to
us, that we may pour it into the tank, which is
the Market, behold, we will give you a penny,
but for every bucket that we shall draw forth
10 give unto you, ye shall give to us two pen
nes, and the difference shall be our profit, see
ing that if It were not for this profit we would
not do this thing for you, but ye should all
perish"
Said my son, "Why didn't the people drink
the water instead of putting it into the tank?"
Because, said l, sit didn't belong to them
al ALL Do be quiet" "And it was good in
the peoples eyes, for they were dull of under
standing. And after many days, the water
tank, which was the market, overhowed at the
top, seeing that for every bucket they poured
in, they received only so much as would buy
again half bucket
81 would think" said the boy, "that these
people would have drawn water for themselves
and left the tank to rot.'
81 told you before said l, "that they were
not allowed. Please let me go on" Aud the
capitalists said to the people,
Again interrupted my boy. "Weren't any
of the people capitals themselves, in small
way?"
And said, "Be quiet, please"
"See ye not the tank, which is the market,
be patient, for ye shall bring us no more water
till the tank be empty" And the saying went
abroad, ut is crisis
My boy asked me, "Why didn't the people
get together and say we won't have any more
of this plan?''
"Because," said I, "each one is trying to
get ahead Of the rest, instead OF helping them.
| That's foolish question:
"And the thirst of the people was great, for
it was now as 1t had been in the days of their
fathers, when the land was open before them
for every one to seek water for himself, seeing
that the capitalists had taken all the springs,
and the wells and the water wheels, and the
vessels, and the buckets, SO that no men might
come by water save from the tank, which was
the Market
''Why did they want to take the wheels and
the buckets" said my son, "when they could
have charged two pennies for drawing from the
sprngs?"
"Because, " said /; "Ill answer this question
another time. You're spelling may story"
''Well, pa,' said the child, "ddn't the cap
italists really begin by getting the springs? If
they didn't, they had no more sense than the
stoiy. If l."
"Well, you see my boy" said I, "the trouble
with you is that you not fitted to discuss
this matter, because you have not read 'Das
KapItal'."
You see, it is no use to teach little fools,
whose questions are embarrassing.
