What sort of a man is Jim Dahlman
and how do the Populists of his own
county feel about it?
He is notoriously a whisky, boodle

Northwest Nebraska are boiling hot over

a column of brevier type I couldn't con
vey to you the intense indignation of the
Populists, and especially the farmers who
have come in from the country today,
over the action of the administration in
appointing Dahlman. In the strong
Populist precincts Dahlman is the most
bitterly hated of any man in the county,
because of his campaign methods whisky
and boodle and the known fact that he
is a railroad man. The hardest part for
me is coming when I go out to face
school house audiences this fall as I
have done for five years and meet the
Republicans whom we induced to vote the

Men, The Need of Oar Age
The unrelentingdemand of onrage wfor
completely evolved men; men who are
bold and strong, men who are tried and
true; men who are ashamed to do wrong;
men who are not ashamed of the true.
We have things enough who are occupy
ing, not filling, the functions of men, but
men in the true sense of all the term im
plies who can find them?
Diogenes, with lighted torch, startled
the lazy Athenians by running through
their streets in mid-day, crying, "I'm
looking for a maiiM " and we admit that
his rebuke was timely. Say we, that was
in the rude past, the world has taken
gigantic strides since then? True; ah,
truly it has. But oh, for another Diog
enes who will arouse the slumbering
world and search from the motley multi
tude a manl '"Mark the perfect niau,"
said the shepherd king, and "an honest
man is the noblest work of God," said
another, while Pamer says,"Do you know
that men are the rarest things in the
the world?"
There is work enough,
What we need is men who will do it.
There is beauty enough;
What we need is men who will behold it
There is truth enough;
What we need is men who will obey it.
There is evidence of God enough;
What we ned is men who will see it.
There is sorrow enough;
What we need is men who will relieve it.
There is joy enough;
What we need is men who will enjoy it.
There is pain enough;
What we need is men who will banish it.
There are positions enough;
What we need are men who can fill them
There are wages enough;
What we need are men who can earn
them.
We need men of principle, men who will
nmke their love of truth their consuming
zeal, men whose vision of ' the eternal
fitness of things" reaches beyond their
own selfish interests, men whose escut
cheon is above reproach.
We have things enough who perform
the functions of society and church,
who operate in our legmlative, executive
and judicial domes. But we need men
Inen in the executive mansion, in our
legislative halls, on our judicial benches,
iu the pulpit, in all the professions, in the
busy mnrtM of trade, in life's most hum
ble walk men! men!! men!!! men, not
.things: true, earnest, genuine God-fearing
man-loving men! We need independent
men, men who believe a creed for other
reasons than, my fathers believed it.
We need men who aie greater than any
man-made politicial, moral and social
creed.
AVe need men who have accepted their
creed simply because it is true.
We need men who will do their duty
irrespective of what others may say,
think or believe.
We need men who are disciples of God,
and not of man.
And may God hasten the day whose
morning star will mark the breaking of
that age, in which the plane in human
evolution will have been reached, in
which man will be a man.

Judge Grtmtaon'a Idea of Practical
Pol H lea
Schuyler, Neb., April 20, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makkks:
The lesson of last election in Nebraska
ought to couvince anybody, not blinded
by personal ambition and the alluring
bauble of office-holding, that politicians
may make fusion slates, but the people
will not vote them and much less the
Populist part of the people. A new party
can only succeed by a rigid adherence to
some defined set of principles. If it falters
by the way to swap horses, it will not get
there. Fusion is a good thing to pump
fresh blood into a dying party, but it is
death to the young party furnishing the
blood. The "middle of the road" idea is
the practicnl one, notwithstanding the
assertion that it emanates from fanatics.
It is the only idea that will win. Fusion
is and always has been a death-trap for
a growing party. Every true Populist
should avoid it as he would poison. The
men who advocate it, will bear close
watching. They are either incompetent,
or too selfish to be of much value to are
form movement.
By the way, is not this controversy
premature? Who has heard of any Pop
ulist convention in Nebraska declaring in
favor of fusion? Who authorized certain
assumed leaders of the party last fall to
peremptorily demand the withdrawal of
Populist candidates nominated iu regu
lar convention in the interest of a mon
grel fusion, which the party, at no place
or time, had recognized.
If this discussion has the effect of lop
ping off a few barnaclei, who have recent
ly been inadvertently attached to the
Populist party, it may prove a blessing;
but there is not a ghost of a chance for
the success of the fusion idea :a broad
daylight iu the councils of the Populist
party. ' J. A. (Jrimison.

Falls City, Neb., April 21, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makeus:
J)eak Brotheh: In response to your
request of Mar. 28th will say that you
can put me 4own as one that favors
every principle contained in the Omaha
platform and opposing fusion with either
one of the two old parties under the man
agement of and principles taught by
their present leaders. But if they will
bring into use the principles taught and
practiced by Jefferson and Lincoln I will
fuse with them to help abolish the pres
ent monetary and mdustrual slavery.
And as the two old parties are owned
and controlled by the gold power of the
east (that is their leaders are), and as the
common people are not expecting any
relief from them in monetary reform I
think it our duty as a reform party to
treat them with all due respect and not
be too radical, and devote more time and
space to the most important wrong that
should be corrected, which is first, the
remonetization of silver, which would
give more relief to the greatest number
of people than any one of the great de
mands contained in theOmaha platform.
And if the Independent party in '96 wfll
restore silver to its former position this
one great and noble reformation would
do more for the party and make it more
sacred and it would live longer in the
hearts and minds of the people than did
the Republican party for putting down
and abolishing chattel slavery. And
then all of these other demands of the
Omaha platform would necessarily fol
low, us this would establish us a party,
giving us the power to enact the princi
ples of our party. And I am sure that
with a Bplit in the two old parties over
this, oue of our great reform planks, we
should, if the right course is pursued, ac
complish in '9G the great mission for
which the Independent party was organ
ized and 1 hope that all of our reform
editors will do all in their power to bring
about this great reform. Of course 1 do
not insinuate but what our party as a
party is doing more for the silver cause
than any faction of either one of the two
old parties. For instance, see the good
work of our faithful friend W. H.Harvey,
the author of Coin's Finaujial Scho
whiclUwcoufse of time will convert the
worm
Tours for success iu '96.

Editor Wealth Makkks:
If our platform tiukerers would take a
few grains of podophylline for the "swell
head" they would experience a feeling of
relief, to which they have long been
strangers, and the ieople, "God bless
them," would be just ax able to re-enact
the Omaha platform in '96 a they were
to enact it in '92.
Every plank of that inspired document
is needed for the relief of the people; any
thing less would fail to hold the vust
army of voters tlmt wish to stand upon
it.
And wh;le I am writing, I want to say
that we have made some mistakes in the
pant iu trying to run a short campaign.
A reform party has everythiug to guiu
" J nothing to lose ir. long campaign.
II we nominate Rood men the longer they
are before the people the better. If bad
men secure the nominations their defeat
is better for the party than their election
could possibly be. A reform party has
no need ot "surprises" and other arts of
the "politician." If we win it must be ou
our merits, the justness of our deinnuds,
and the more and wider these are known
the greater number of voters will stand
with usou-that comprehensive statement
of principles, the Omaha platform.
Yours,
II. E. Dawes.

Editor Wealth Makers:
I have been waiting iu hope of being
able to remit another years subscription
before writing you, but the illness of my
wife is taking my dollars so just now I
cannot remit. I will however remit Boon
as I r-au and in the mean time I want the
paper. It is a part of my life.
I like its tone aud anxiously look for it
each week.
Although not a resident of Nebraska I
am interested in thestateof my adoption
and in which I found a home for twenty
one years. I regret the mistake our Pop
ulists there made last year by their seem
ing fusion, but hope enough has been
learned by them in this experience to
prevent their erring in likemanneragain.
Policy dodging will cost ua much each
time. The boys want to remember that
merely office gettiug will avail us nothing
in this fight, aud while I am glad to know
that you have such a man as Mr. Uol
comb for governor, I believe if theltepub
lican thieves had full sway they would
sooner disgust the rank and file than as
it is. I am ready for the worst and I
think that only the extreme condition of
servitude will fully open the eyes ot some
men; and I am willing to give them rope
enough to hang themselves with so they
will commit political suicide without a
"veto" to any step in the path.
They are fast digging their own grave,
and their own tombstone is already
chiselled.
Tell our boys to stand firm on the Om
aha platform.
Don't abridge it. Save it every plank.
Be true to those principles which we
know to be just and true.
Vrote for principle every time. Don't
favor a nomination for policy's sake. Be
men, as were our sires of 1776, and in
due time we will wiu a grand victory,
and our children and our children's child
ren will bless us, as we want to bless our
noble sires for their efforts to overcome
the same oppression in a different guise.
Future generations demand of us to
stand firm in our stand against this op
pressor, for their sakes; and our father's
from their graves call on us to be men
and guard zealously the interests of pros
perity. Don't be tricked by any ruse of the
enemy in the shape of organization on a
"one plank" idea.
Bryan and Bland have shown their
hands. Dou't be fooled.
Let's keep our eyes and ears open.
Keep dressed and in line, do our, duty as
men and inarch steadily forward to vic
tory. A. C. Fendeeson.
Huntley, Neb., April, 1895.
Editor Wealth Makers:
I see in your paper two weeks ago a re
quest for the sentiment of your readers
as to the changing of the Populist plat
form. My answer would be: "Stand firmly on
the Omaha platform, 3rst, last and all
the time, and let those fellows whose
craniums are only large enough to con
tain one idea at a time go; if they can do
without us we can without them. The
Omaha platform is a platform that was
formulated by the representatives of the
whole Populist party, and there is no
one man nor no set of men that has any
right to either add to or take one word
from it. It is the principles of the great
plain people of America, and if any man
does not like it let him step down and
out.
Stand firmly and squarely on the old
solid Omaha platform, and if you lose
one vote you will gain ten more.
Yours for success,
J. M. Vaughan.

Another book than "Trilby" Is reaching out (or

That comes to preach with happy speech a

The critics lose their fury and stop to think and
smile.
And weigh the wit, and ponder It their reason

A story with a moral that measures human
peace,
Aad strikes the knell of Rothschild's spell, bind

A story that In every line tells of a glad release
From chains of gold that firmly bold the free-

Of golden ropes that strangle hope and fill
