GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS AGAIN IN ERUPTION.

The Hon. George Fred Williams, who the head
and Of Bryanism in Massachusetts, does not pur
permit himself to be joed out of the Democratic
wagon Not only is he determined to remain in the
Democratic party but he will endeavor to absorb that
party in a political organization of which he is the
founder.
The Cleveland Leader discussing the subject says
Williams has named his party The Peoples Rule and
its platform will consist of three panks direct legisa
ton by the people the polls ownership by the people
of all public utilities and the denial OF the right of judges
to deprive citizen of his liberty without trial by jury
Thus the honorable George Fred stands disclosed
fulfedged Socialist and if he succeeds in getting
siderable following he easily trouble for the
Democratic party especially in the cities of the north
growing of late years and the Democratic party,
since the Bryan campaign of 1885, has been catering to
the socialisc element among the Williams is
shrewd enough perhaps to that if the men who
trying to control of the party organization

platform the sociaisc doctrines that have been advo
Gated recently and that the result will be considerable
disintegraton of voters who attracted to the Dem
ocracy by of its recent platform utterances His
party and his platform would appeal these voters and
he may make himself political force worth reckoning
with at least in New England where big Socialist gains
have been made recently
Williams announces his purpose to be to wrest the
control of the party from such Cleveland, Oney

MESSAGES OF TWO GOVERNORS.


Nobody can have legitimate to inquire the
politics governors of Kansas and Oklahoma after
reading their messages to the legislatures OF their
spective commonweahsone published in the Eagle OF
yesterday and the other published in Eagle of this
issue.
In neither is there a grunt or groan indicating a
inhamed by the times or conditions
There is line in either breathing suggestion OF
discomfort to say nothing of calamity all of which is very
pleasing two great bodies Of people connected by the
ties sharing the sentiments hopes and
aspirations.
The people are not in humor tolerate such pessi
nism as they have read in of the gubernatoria
messages past They prosperous, happy and
contented and want the whole world to know it They
appear before the American
people satisfactory comparison with other states and
notable with who have not responded to
the quickening influence of the marvellous prosperity
which nation has enjoyed since the Republican party
came into control applied its magical reiuvenating
policy the former stagnant affairs of the nation.
Governor Baley's message is sensiby brief and yet
it nothing which could be deemed essential to the
guidance of the aw-making bodies. 1t is well written
dignifed, and contains spreadeagle fourishes
of rhetoric principally usually in be-
wilderng the citizen to the needs of the state
which present development of Kansas few and
simple.
The messags of the governor Of Oklahoma is neces
sarily longer owing TO the varied needs of
younger sister commonwealth But it is message full
interest fuller great buoyant story
of progress Every exhibit is exhibit of increase in
something which makes for the happiness of the people,
increase in population, increase in taxable wealth. in
in the number of schools and in the for
their maintenance increase in territorial limits increase
in railroad mileage in the utility of all public
facilities in the standing influence of
the territory.
Both governors have for their common social origin
the people. They each close the Of
the grass and it is surprising that in their messages
they display intimate knowledge the desires
and needs of the people Governor Bailey the |
first theme of his agriculture. This is entirely
fitting and appropriate for there is doubt that agr
culture is by far the potent interest and factor in
the great development and prosperity of the state.
Both messages should be read by everybody for they
tell story of good cheer for the present and optimism
for the future.

In 1860 we established St. Paul's

the church a Sunday school building
