THE PROBLEM OF 0HKI8FIAHITY.
In last week's issue we said that "the
principle of Christianity is sacrifice,
service, ministration Induitrlalorganita
lion." Terbaps we shall be better under
stood if we say this principle of leve,
prompting to service, must maniftit it
self in fraternal organization; and must
do so in order that we may most ellec
tlvely defend and help one another, and
so insure against future needs that we
shall escape from the temptation to
hoard and heap up wealth lor contin
genoies we cannot measure. This temp
tation to accumulate, withal unfratcr
nally and uneconomical!;, while others
of the household of faith need our sur
plus, has been so long considered a vir
tue that it must be attacked both
morally and scientifically in order to
disabuse men's minds of the idea that
it is acceptable to God and beneficial to
man.
Christ laid, "Lay not up for your
selves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt and where
thieves break through and steal."
How shall we understand this? Slmpjy
that we may not lay up treasures here,
or that we may lay up treasure for
others but not for ourselves?
Others? Whom? If for those whe
need, why lay it up more than from
harvest to harvest? Why not supply
all present needs' of old and young, of
sick and disabled or incapacitated, and
in turn be lovingly cared for by others
when our working days aro over?
Christianity, remember, is not self-love
nor love for ones wife and children. It
Is sn equalizing social love, a love that
insists on dividing equally with our
neighbors and allowing none to lack.
It is a love that delights in serving
more than in being served.
There Is an economic reason why goods
far in excess of present individual or
family needs should not be accumulat
ed. It Is natural law that all wealth not
used decays, wastes away. Wo get the
full value of lubor products only ly mak
ing use of them before moth and rust,
mildew and frost, flro find flood and dis
honest men destroy or seize them. The
accumulations of the rich are no excep
tion to this law. Nature claims from
all a penalty if surplus wealth is
hoarded; but the rich compel the class
who must borrow to pay this penalty
for them, and a usury or rent tax b:
sides. It is partly to save each other
from these oppressions that Christians
having present surplus are by the
law of love called on to give It to those
of tbelr number who lack.
The problem of Christianity is simply
the problem of how ut can htlp ont
another most. We are prepared to
grapple with this problem only after we i
sse that It is simply a question of ser
vice. If one has wisdom to economi
cally direct labor that Rift or acquire
ment Is not for himself or hi family,
but for all whom he can benefit with it.
They who are strong ought to bear the
burdens of the weak. Each should servt
according to his ability and receive only
according ta his needs, These who pre
(ess dlsolpleshlp to Jtjsus must be plain
ly distinguished from all others in their
ees-day but I no life, by this InfluUj
difference, that they produce and ox
change goods or need satisfactions
from a died purpose mm Instead cf
Iroui a desire to gain. They must bo
not formally organised Into a church
merely for Kunday worship; but they
must be vitally "added together" a ono
b mIj, havtngone Interrst, and be "tne tu
bers tne of atuther" to prov'do stutoc
ance, defense and all things which any
and every part t( the Christian t dy
Unlay needs.
The ultimate of the Christian awl
body I the ChrUtUn state, and this
perfockd 1 the ChrlslUn world. Ttt
state U now only slightly ChrUtlan. to
the esteat that It prevlde service at
ooet. It Is Christian in its public school,
construction of public highways, carry
ing of the walls, and taoh additional
extension of aervloe, such M MiUg
tbe telegraphs, telephones, rallrvsvU,
express business, eoal mines, Ao, Ae,
wlll'idi V Us Christian feature, ghlag
us ar vloe tut for profit, but at Post,
The laiivtdual wha stands alono ran
ot be a Christian in the full seuso, lie
raniufter as a Christian, tie cannot
be saved from suflsrlaf, trout loss, from
Isjury, (rem the sU of others lie must

advuiage ot by then, lie must pay
tisM If i borrow hi he ean not take
oety, or rtV or net profit) without
transgressing God's law. He must steel
Us heart against the needs of his
neighbor, or he will -have nothing
stored up for the future when slekness,
old age and an uncertain measure of
needs may come to him. lie roust live
like the rest, selfishly, struggling with
his neighbors for gain, or they will
gala from bio, use up his surplus, and
send him to the poorhouse when he be
comes incapacitated for work.
We must have not merely a professed
but an actual union of parte between
members of Christ's body, or Cbrlst
cannot be revealed; Ills divine Spirit is
not incarnated; lie is not manifestly,
visibly resurrected, and is powerless to
save.

' THE OMAHA SILVER M EE TISO
What will be the outcome of the
Omaha conference of free coinage Deuv
ocrats next week? -
The conference would not have been
called if there were not a prevailing
disposition to bolt the party if it shall
be made to appear tbat the Castor
Morton, goldbag, corporation crowd
who downed Bryan can keep their grasp
on the machine. The Iiryaa faction
beaten will be forced out of the party
But what can they do if they bare
power to down the other fello ? Why
the administration Democrats would in
tbat case bolt the Bryan semi-Populist
machine and go over to the Republicans.
The division of Democracy left would
not constitute more than a fifth part of
the voters of the state and their votes
would be of no avail.
It is no longer possible to hold the
inharmonious party together in this
state, and we are of opinion that Brysn
and his followers must upon considers
tlon see tbat the only way for tbelr
rotes to be made effective is for them
to come over Into the I'opullst ranks.
It will not help them any to get
majority control of the next conven
tion, because then they would be com
palled to put up a ticket which could
by no possibility be elected. And it
will be equally foolish for them to split
off from the administration part of the
party and make a fourth party, which
would be powerless to elect.
The only sensible thing in sight for the
silver, anti-monopoly Democrats to do
when they gather in Omaba next week
is to resolve that, as all the reforms
they favor and more are demanded by
the Populists of Nebraska, it is the part
of wisdom for them and all of like mind
to join the party of the people, if this
action Is taken we can easily sweep the
state, redeem it from corporation con
trol, and retire Mercer, Halner, Melkle
jobn and Manderson, putting in their
places representatives of the people.
If the Bryan-Robinson following think
there is any other ny to get there thsn
to come Into our par')-, If they plan any
fusion scheme, th ('.inilUU are in no
mood for any such i n l leal Mly. They
will not be drawn away fr ni th' hrmfi
ground they stand on. Ibey w ill not
support men who will not or cannot ba
Populists.
ALL LANGUAGES OOHTAIIf JUSTICE.
"Foreien miners who are making
trouble in this country should remem
ber that the gatllng gun speaks an
languages." Chicago Dally,
Who brought these foreigners to our
shores? The great ooal barons and
others, and for the purpose of forcing
down American wages.' And now tbat
these men have joined the brotherhood
and refuse to work fer wagos which are
less than the cost of keeping chattel
slaves, the threat is made that they
and the entire 200,000 miners of the
fraternity shall be scattered and sub
dued with thd weapon that shoots ,
200 balls a minute.

are not prepared to anathematize mon

LET ALL BE HEABD
We intended to refer last week to the
column editorial in The Schuyler Quill
condemning The Wealth Maki rs for
allowing Mr. Le Fevre over bis own
signature to give reasons and opinions
why Mayor Weir should not bo nomi
nated by the Populists to head our state
ticket. As our columns have been
open to Mr. Weir and bis political
friends and more people have used our
space to speak in his favor than to op
pose his candidacy, and as wo have ex-
,rcsied ho choice, have only asked for
an ixuhange of views in the lntereit of
the most Intelligent choice on the part
of all later, The Quill seems in too
much haste to fiad fault.
Our correspondents speak for, them
selves; never for n. Tbey must also be
allowed to publicly oppose public men,
men who allow their names to be pro
posed as candidates for places of public
trust.
In our Exchange of Views department
we have been absolutely fair with all,
We have had no favorites whom we
have helped, no others whom we have
discriminated against. Acd wo are
confident that the choice of the peo
ple' delegates after discussion Is ended
will be a ticket we can unqualifiedly en
dorse from top to bottom.
TKI0K8 THAT. AHE VAIN.
The goldbugs are bi-metalllsts. Yes,
they are. The best and only. Hear
what they ia In Kansas. Following Is
the third ulank of the platform adopted
list week In Republican state conven
tion:

as standard money, wlt't ituoh rcstrio

Now, do you see? You understand
that It 1 n tMiar; always for a dollar
to be a dollar la urder for It to pay a

tlsis and worker are differing are be

a question. Of fore. The present apiM al
to armj in the different states Is the
natural e vol a tkm of the competitive
system. If is is right to starve men in
to submission to employers' terms, it is
alao right to use any other force, Win
chesters, gatllng guns, dynamite, to
compel capitalist to agree to the work
ers' terms. But in neither case does
might make right. Force can never
settle the controversy, which, naturally,
Is waxing hotter and hotter. What is
equity, what equal inalienable rights
have men to the land and its contents
and energies these are the questions,
moral questions, which must be ans
wered. Putting down strikers with
therlffs' hired gunners, or with the state
militia, will never settle what is just
and bi lng peace. It is an outrage to
use the military arm of the govern
ment to scatter and destroy the forces
of organized workers and compel them
without means to live to make terms as
individuals with the law-defended
raonopolistl. The military power of
the government sheuld be used to stop
the strife between the forces of capital
and labor, but not in the lnterett of
capitalists. Compulsory arbitration
should be resorted to to preserve peace
until the question cf justice can be
settled.
8IHGEES, PLAYERS, SPEAKERS AND
ORGANIZERS-
We understand tbat Prof. Franklin
Kttoaand wife of Lincoln, will soon
leave us to engage in work throughout
the state under the auspices' of - the
"Union for Practical Progress" inaugu
nted by the Arena editor, B O. Flower
of Boston. Prof. Katon and his gifted
companion are. by virtue of their rare
musical talents superior mental endow
stents and devotion to the cause of hu
manlty, remarkably well fitted for the
work tbey feel called to do. Their plan
is to ylsit town after town throughout
the state and in each place give two
musical (vocal and instrumental) enter
talnments, which will be of a grade of
excellence tbat cannot fall to attract
large audiences, , To eonnectioa with
each musical program Prof. Eaton will
deliver a 30 minute address, and at the
close of the second evening's entertain
ment a Union will be organized.
The matter of Prof. Eaton's addresses
Is of the greatest interest and value.
We know of no other speaker who hss
compresied so much fact and truth into
the same compass, and every portion of
it Is matter of personal concern to every
individual. He alms to set people to
thinking, to give them something
which tbey cannot help thinking about,
something which will arouse and unite
the moral forces and Intellectual activi
ties of each community. We think his
work will be of the highest value in
drawing together people to investigate
the things which are of common con
cern, and with knowledge gained they
will bo led to work together for what is
right and just and helpful to all.
W reprint this week from the Fre
mont Leader Judge Maxwell's opinion
of the maximum rate bill and the sham
suit for justice on the part of the rail
roads which Is boing drawn out forever
while the Dundy injunction places them
above the law, and they goon robbing
tbe people. Our contention tbat the
federal court has no jurisdiction in the
matter is fully sustained by Judge Max
well. The Board of Transportation
have simply turned traitors to the peo
ple, have allowed an Injunction to stand
and the law of a sovereign state to be
violated, trampled on, overthrown,
when they might bave enforced ir.
These Republican officials elected to
guard the Interests of the people are
mud In the hands of the corporations,
and tbe lesson is, that the corporation
controlled party must be turned down
and out, just as it turned down and out
Judge Maxwell at the dictation of the
railroads who had failed to corrupt and
manipulate bins.

Tbb man who falls to realize that
there is more thn human power on the
side of justice, gets discouraged easily.
Equally unstable and unreliable is the
man who plays the reform role for
revenue, or for office, or distinction of
any kind. The true man is made more
earnest, more sacrificing If possible, by
temporary defeats, delays and seeming
ly insurmountable obstacles. He will
die fighting, but never give up. He will
not compromise with evil for a division
of the offices. He can not be quieted
till he compels the strong to deal justly
with the weak.
The Republican machine has had
steam up and wheels moving for
months. The Populists of Nebraska, It
seems to us, are losing time. Our state
committee ought to get a move on them
Immediately in the matter of crowding
local organization and stirring up the
county committeemen to do tbe work
that is necessary. If this mattt r is
left undone until convention meets in
August much of it will not be done in
the too short time left before election.
Even tbe best of tbe millionaires,
men like Marshall Field and Phil Ar
mour, have made tbelr millions by finan
cially ruining and running out their
weaker rivals. The Napoleons of trade
and finance all lift themselves up, by
pulling down and making a pedestal of
others. They as truly "wade through
slaughter to a throne" as did aoy of the
historic soldier kings.
Judge Grossch of Chlcage, a fede
ral judge, la his speech at Galetburg,
III., Decoration day, declared tbat the
growth of labor organizations must be
checked by law. What do you think of
that, brethren? Isn't it time that the
wealth making classes, rural and urban,
got their eyes open to the necessity of
voting together, all together, in order
to wrest the military arm from the con
trol of the monopolists?
We don't care what you make money
of, paper, silver, gold, aluminum, dia
monds, or iron. All we insist on is tbat
we have as much legal tender as we
need to measure our wealth and pay
for the services of every one who wants
government shall provide such money
insufficient volume, and not farm cut
the money-making business to the
banks.
Tbe Populists of Fremont called a
meeting for the organization of a Popu
list club Saturday evening last and
started in grandly with an enrollment
of 250 members the first evening. Go
ye, everywhere, and do likewise;
jump into the work of organization
brethren. The Republicans are hard
at it. There is no success without
organization and a thorough canvass.
The intrinsic value advocates are advo
cates of barbarism, of the barter method
of making exchanges. Legal tender
destroy the need of barter. Money is
a creation of law, and should be pro
vided In sufficient quantity and so
Issued, without usury, to the people
that it will serve to keep all at work
who are in need of labor products.
Vox Popcli Is the name of a re
markably fine Illustrated Populist paper
published at St. Louis. The first page
contains a picture of the Capitol at
Washington with an enormous spider
enveloping it in Its arms, its webs
reaohlng also to the graas and a sign,
' Keep off the Grass" is in the fore
ground. The editorial work of the
paper Is of high grade.
