A SENSATION AT TETON.
A Scheme That Is Being Worked
by Whiskey Sellers.

Quite a sensation has been sprung at
Triton by the efforts made the officers
of the city coartof Triton cooperative
with Solicitor General Thomas aud
the grand jury of Berrien superior
court in an effort to stop the illegal
sale of whiskeY.
A new scheme that is being worked
by the whiskey sellers is to have the
goods shipped to Triton in lots of from
one to a dozen cases to some fictitious
address. A draft covering the amount
of the shipment with bill of lading
for the goods, is sent to a local Oank
and the party in the secret calls at the
bank, pays the draft and with the bill
of lading calls at the depot and de-
mands the goods. Ia this way stock
of whiskey is kept on hand in Triton
at all times, all the purchaser having
to do being to pay the money and get
the goods. Solicitor Thomas is of the
opinion that all parties to the transac.
ton, including the shipper, are indict-
able, and it is on this theory that an
investigation is in progress.
A search of the two principal freight
depots in Triton revealed six cases oil
whiskey, all marked with names Of
parties who never call for them. The
cashiers of two of the Triton banks
and the agents of two of the railroad;
have been summoned before the grand
jury. A strong effort is also being
made to indict the, parties who have
been retailing whiskey.
| 1t is said that one bank in Triton has
collected 81, 700 in whiskey drafts since
| January /.

United States Army officer Requests That

Copies of a remarkable will left by

Colonel Strader, after directing that
all his debts be paid, requests that his
body be cremated at Philadelphia and
the ashes taken to Louisville, his
birthplace, and there to be scattered

"Perhaps the most important discov-

MANY MIXED MARRIAGES
MASSACHUSETTS PEOPLE NOT PAR

All Kinds of People, Including Whites,

According to part III of the thirty

"The number of marriages in the

l was on the committee on reso-
lutions, and in our discussions the
question arose. Can we depend on
either of the old parties to pass laws
that will bring these lawless corpora
lions under control?' While the dis
cussion was going on | took my pen
and wrote the following resolution.
Resolved, That the past record of
the old political parties of this coun-
try is such as to forfeit the confidence
and respect of the people, and that we
are, therefore, absolyed from all al
legiance to them, and will act no long
er with Them,
This resolution caused much discus
sion, for we had then-as nova con-
siderable contingent of the convention
that cared vastly more for their polit-
ical party than they did for the gen
eral welfare of the country. But not
wnthstanding the opposition, the reso-
luton passed by large majority.
The passage of this resolution was
the birth of the old greenback party
which afterwards developed into the
peoples party.
The principles advocated by these
parties diew to them so large a num-
Der of voters as to appal both the old
parties The democratic party being

with him.

election of such a man as Bryan, the

New York Populists

Everywhere the people are rising
to the support of the peoples party
standard. They are the people who
do not fear to s.throw their votes
away The attempt to deliver over
to plutocracy the millions who under
stood why they supported Bryan in his
two campaigns will come to naught.
They are not composed of men who
can be delivered. From every quarter
co:oes encouraging words OF populist
revival Even in old New York, where
plutocIacy has it's seat of government,
the pupulists are lin arms and eager
for the fray" Here is what Jay W..
Forrest of Albany, N. Y, president OF
the Albany county democracy. says:
"We are getting a great send off all
over the state and will roll UP big
vote this fall. Will have our state
ticket in the field in few days and
then the guns will not be silent mo-
ment until the polls close on the 9Th
day of next November. | am having
some fine cuts of Watson and Tibbles
made"
And this from A.. T.. Hemenway of
DeKalb Junction. N. ":
Editor Independent: The people
don't really want either Roosevelt or
Parker for president, but one of them
will be elected because both are
backed by the money kings of New
York and the populist party is prac-
tically destitute of funds with which
to, carry on an educational campaign.
Roosevelt and Parker are considered
safe by the trusts and banks because
both are pledged to not disturb the
tariff or the gold standard.
II like The Independent because it
gives every one a fair show The let
tiers of the socialists, single takers,
free traders, and protectionists are
more interesting to me than the de-
tailed accounts of murders, lynchings,
suicides and divorce suits. published
by the newspapers of plutocratic New
York.
Ever since | can remember New
York has been the supreme ruler and
dictator Of the democratic party and
for several years the republican party
has also been controlled by the em-
pire state. How any western or south
ern farmer can vote for Roosevelt or
Parker Is beyond my comprehension.

In his short but effective speech Of

Predatory pirates of Wall street that

personal thrust at j. Pierpont Morgan.
Mr.. Morgan, by the way, is one of the
most conservative and successful man
ipulatOrs of diluted stocks ever Ii
censed to engage in wholesale spolia-
ton and robbery; and it is a signif-
icant fact that he is now giving the
weight of his moral and financial sup

He has taken millions from us.
He Eas sold us watered stock;
But you smote the monster, Thomas

And they never get away.
His exalted rank and station

Though our curses may not daunt him.
