OF K. OF P,
MOVEMENT IS TAXING FORM AND
WILL IN ALL PROBABILITY
MAPERIALIZE.
II Held 1t wiz Be in Wheeling in th'
Month Of August Nsxt.-Auange-
msuts Are Making.

The proposed brigade eneampment OF
the Knights Of Pythias in Wheeling may
vet materialHe. 1t has been suggested
and a considerable amount OF interest
had been stirred among the members Of
tn order in that city and vicinity. sun
day the matter took definite form at a
meeting of the brigade. field, staff and
line officers, held in Slattery hall in
that city, over which Gen. J. H. Laneas-
ter presided.
The matter vas discussed in a praeti.
cal way at the meeting. and consider
able amount Of enthusiasm was stirred
up. COMMITTEES we're appointed to wait
on the Board OF Trade. for the purpose
Of learning what encouragement and aid
that body willsbe willing to give; also
committees on finance. music. etc. These
committees viii report to the Officers
at another meeting to be held at the
same place in two weeks.
The plan which met with favor at the
meeting, was to hold a brigade cncamp-
ment for week, for the Knights OF
West Virginia and Eastern Ohio.
There are in this state three regiments.
comprising sc companies and twelve
battalions. It is proposed to hold the
cncampment in August of this year. and
an inquiry has already been made to
the owners OF Belle Isle Park. TO which
reply had not been made up to the
tine of holding the meeting Sunday.
There Is an abundance of ground at the
upper end Of the Island, and the estab-
lishment of quarters in such close prox.
unity to the heart of the city would be
most satisfactory to all concerned.
1t was estimated that the attendance
Of Knights from West Virginia alone
would not be less than 1000. It was
reported that arrangements could be
made with a Cleveland. o.. firm FOR 400
tents. each with cnpicity for four per
sons.
II plans are carried out, brigade
meeting win be called for Wheeling in
August, and one Of the things to be done
at the meeting will be the election of a
brigade commander.

"a SPOIL OF OFFICE"

Some time in 1892 Hamlin Garland
wrote a political novel entitled "a
Spoil of Office" This treated of the
grange, the farmers alliance and the
peoples party, and is especially inter-
esting to those who lived in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska at the time
when the alliance grew up. In re-
yised edition, published in 1897 by ID.
Appleton & Co.. New York, Mr.. Gar
land says in the preface:
''The three great movements of the
American farmer, herein used as a
background--the grange, the alliance
and the peoples party-seem to me to
be as legitimate subjects for fiction
as any war or crusade. They came
in impulses with mightiest enthus-
iasms, they died out like waves upon
the beach: but the power which orig
mated them did not die; it will return
in different forms again and again, so
long as the love of liberty and the
hatred of injustice live In the hearts
of men and women"
The Independent believes that Mr..
Garland is mistaken in believing that
the peoples party died out ''like waves

The Church and Politics

The line between things secular
and things religious is too sharply
drawn in these days. If a man is to
be truly religious, he must exercise
his power conscientiously in every
department Of life. He must be loyal
and obedient to his highest impulses
in the discharge of his duties as a
citizen. He must do this If he would
be truly faithful to his church. II is
because men have created the artifi-
cial line referred to that we have bad
laws, incompetent and corrupt admin
istration. The smaller the govern
mental division the more likely we
are to find evil conditions. Municipal
administration, as rule. is the worst.
The interest in national elections is
always greater than in any other,
while the interest in municipal cleo
tions is generally the least of all. 1t
is because of this that we have usual
ly more incompetent administration in
municipal government than else
where.
We must not be afraid of that word

on this word. The "boss system" is
not politics; it is conspiracy against
politics. Politics is authoritatively de-

We have no more right to call this
