Mr.. Tillman referred 10 the motive

He referred to Postmaster-General

Mr.. Tillman announced that he had
received a circular sent out by Dorr

made:
Some day I shall have justice and
reparatiOn. and when that day comes,
now not far distant. there viii be
noise that will be heard around the

A newspaper is power where it
has the truth for a helpmate. but
without the truth it amounts to but
very little. In the recent election for
mayor of Greater New York the press
of that city. with one or two excep-
tons, assailed Judge Gaynor with a
malignity seldom if ever equalled in
a political campaign. These newspa-
pers might just as we'll have thrown
their ink and paper in the Atlantic
ocean. Judge Gaynor was elected by
plurality of more than $4,000. These
newspapers did not have truth on
their side. and without the truth
they were powerless and harmless.

vERsY.

few weeks ago Cannon went
over into Cummins' congressional DIS
4trict and made speech in which
he attacked the insurgents generally
and Cummins particularly, and last
Saturday evening Senator Cummins
in a speech before the Marquette
Club in Chicago declared war to the
finish upon Cannon and Aldrich. Here
are some extracts from his remark
able speech:
Let it be understood, once for all,
that we accept the challenge and
are ready for the fight. Our struggle
will not be to exclude anybody from
the republican party; but upon the
principle involved we ask no quarter
and shall give none.
1.-THE day has come for an inquiry
into the qualifications of republican.
am willing to accept an arbiter,
but it will not be Aldrich; it will not
be Payne; it will not be Cannon. !
say to these men that the republicans
who are in sympathy with the course
pursued by the insurgents intend to
take away from these men some OF
the power which they now exercise,
and intend to reduce their Influence
to that point at which they will feel
it necessary to consult rather than to
command.
1.-THE republican party cannot any
: longer be progressive in its platform
and stand pat in its congress.
81 marvel at not only the audacity
but the madness, which inspires the
attack which has been made upon the
insurgents, for if Mr.. Cannon and hi
allies shall be successful in puttins
every man out of the republican par
ty who would not have voted for tn,
tariff bill had he been a member o
congress, he will have eliminated ,
majority Of the republicans in ever,
northern state from Ohio to tn
Rocky Mountains.
TO say that the tariff bill jus
adopted is not fulfillment of tn
republican platform is only the truth
There are some signs now that
number of our distinguished leader
think that we have gone far enoug
and that we should settle down int
the quiet and peace of inaction.
hazard the prediction that if we d,
the camp we pitch will be our burr,

In Feudal times the wealth produe

possible.
1.-THE present coal land, lazy at
tempts to prevent coal monopoly by
requiring small entries by claimants
who intend to develop the mines for
their own benefit. But the law fails
of its object, and in other respects
does not protect the public interest.
The coal lands in the possession Of
the United States are being rapidly
absorbed under the present made
quate law. The great fields of Alaska,
however. estimated to contain is ,000,-
100000 tons, still remain the heritage
of the people.
THE situation with respect to wa
ter development. both in the public
domain and on navigable streams, is
substantially similar to that with re-
spect to COAL
We. therefore, appeal to the Amer
lean people to bring the urgent needs
of the situation to the attention OF
their representatives in congress in
order that comprehensive legislation
upon this vital matter may be enact
ed at the next session of congress
To this end, every individual citizen
is urged to do his part. and to act al
once.''
