Senator Teller and CongrenNinan J. F.
Shoffreth of Denver, and Hon. W. J.
Bryan and Senator Allen will addreHH the
people at Lincoln Park, August 15th
Excursion rates will be given by all rail
roads. "Wisdom is the principal thing," For
lack o! it progress is delayed. 1'Get wis
dom." The prejudices which revered teachers
have inculcated as truth are the greatest
obstacles in the path ot progress.
The Populists of Lancaster county
have placed a ticket in the field that can
not in respectability and qualifications
be matched.
Ofor one mighty enough to make
clear the living word! "What is truth?"
What is the voice of God saying to roan
now? "Be still, and know." Do, and
discover.
Wd grope blindly for the pillars of
truth. Upon what must all things rest?
How must we build for every block to
remain? And whea the light reaches us
how can we overcome with it the dark
ness of other minds?
The editor of the Investors' Review
London, is a very clear-headed man, and
he spares not in showing what the debts
ot the world mean, that they have au in
satiable maw and menace the peace of
the nations. Interest eats like a cancer
and is fast absorbing the labor and liber
ties of the people.
Senator Stewart is to start a new
weekly paper iu Washington, called the
Silver Knight." It is to be the organ of
Silver Knights, the new secret society.
The prospectus says it "will advocate no
new scheme or experiment" which means
that it will not favor full legal tender pa
per money, we suppose, although that is
not a new scheme, nor is it an experi
ment. We need no new organs to advo
cate the accursed Shylock teaching that
gold, or gold and silver, are needed to
redeem all greenbacks.
This is not a government of the people,
but a government by the rings and for
the rings of a party, first by the rfng of
one party, then by the ring of another.
It is not a representative government.
Government by representation is not
now possible, except in name. Unless we
can wrest the reins of government from
party machine bands we might as well be
under an acknowledged king, emperor or
czar. Direct legislation, the power of
mandatory petition that questions be
submitted to the people and all import
ant laws be subject to their veto, is the
only kind of actually democratic govern
ment. "Oh, no, she's not, my noble friend;
yon are laboring' under a great mistake.
Mrs. Richard Allestree Gordon ia at this
moment in Newton, Leicestershire."
"Great heaven!" grasped the bar
onet "What do yon mean?" I

Here in Lancaster county we have a
strong ticket named. Not a man ou it
tmt is fully and finely qualified to fill the
ollii'e for which he is nominated. The
Itepublicnu party cannot select H net of
candidates who will in personnel compare
with our ticket. There is one thing only
which disturbs the confidence ot the
nnti-fusioii Populists, the prior noinina- j
tiou of some of our candidates by a few
Democrats, twenty or thirty or forty men
who coustituteor keep alive the party in
Lincoln. Thk Wkaltii Makkiu doesn't
like this. It hates the sound of the
word, "demo-pops," ns it hates venality
and hypocrisy, but the name, by others
given, does not prove the nature. We
ouly wish to make sure that our candi
dates are first, lust and all the time
Populists, Populists from principle and
ready to give their service to help build
up the People's organization and press.
Having assurance that this will be done
The Wealth Makkhs will support most
willingly the entire ticket.
PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH
J. A. Wayland has left the Ruskin
colony and The Coming Nation. He has
been preaching socialism and practicing
selfishness. Notwithstanding his un
sparing denunciations and exposures
of the folly of individualism, he evi
dently believes in it for himself, be
cause he can make some money, lie
gathered a colony about him, con
fessedly to put in practice the
great principle of human brotherhood,
equality, love; but he himself refused to
be a brother, refused equality, refused to
love his neighbors as he loved himself. He
seems to have planned to run a oue man
movement iu which he should get the
glory and most of the gain iu property,
by profiting from the labor and faith
and association of his co-w orkers.
It is not surprising that this is the end
of his teaching, for the teaching itself was
radically defective. He did not have the
root of the matter in himoriu his teach
ing, and the Ruskin colony was not
formed ou the brotherhood principle.
Those who entered it did not come iu as
equals or wholeheartedly. They were
required to put iu f 500. Those having
less than $500 could uot come in at all,
were not looked upon as brothers, be
cause of their poverty. And those who
had one, two, three, five or ten thousand
dollars, or more, kepta tight grip ou the
balance in excess of 500; and so these
also were not brothers. There was and
is no evidence of the controlling principle
of love between the members, because
the lluiikin colony is nothing more nor
less than a joint stock company into
which love does not necessarily enter.
Each member or family iu the colony is
certainly interested in it to the exteut of
$500, seemingly no more, no less. Ou
the plau of requiring Jrom each member
$500 and no more, Wayland was not
obliged to put in The Coming Nation,
provided he could prove that its circula
tion and value were not made, iu part at
least, by the community, tho Ruskiu
colony. He assumed that the "One
lloss" did it nil, and that therefore the
paper and plant belonged to him; and he
would continue thestectacleof an alleged
socialist Colony working mostly for oue
man for wages, for his enrichment, and
he the teacher of socialism aud unselfish
nessl crowned with the engine-houses of tho
mining shafts, while trade is limited to
the few "fctores" belonging to the min
ing companies, where the unfortunate
diggers into the bowels of the earth
are driven by necessity to spend at m

Not bad creatures with which to illus
trate. The typical (leading) Republican is a
hawk, and the typical Democrat is a
buzzard from the lSuzzard's Bay man
clear down through the whole line of far
smelling office seekers. All the real Re
publican principles there are today are
lodged in the Populist party. All true
democracy in the country at present is
expressed iu the Omaha platform. And
the two old spoils-worshiping organi
zations which claim a patent on the
aarues of the morally dead parties, are
as afraid of republicanism und true dem
ocracy as the devil is of goodness.
The old parties are, iu their rank and
die, madeup of honest men, but the rank
and file have no controlling voice in the
management of tho party, in the running
ot conventions or the dictation of laws.
The Wealth Makers suggests that
the western farmers who secure a crop

it brings to organize themselves and
neighbors into farming corporations, to
irrigate and cultivate the land in future

Is the only way scores of thousands in
Nebraska can retain their homes and ob

Its branches be carried on by farm cor

reducing all waste to the minimum, and
oy selecting the best managers to plan

ttockraisiug to a perfect science that will

Hon. John II. Powers and others on this
matter. We throw out the idea for dis
cussion in our columns.
Selfishness, in being universally accept

we reject the law of heaven as impractic
able, we have for our sole alternative the
law of hell; and we plunge ourselves and
our posterity into misery with the fool

thing to do.
"It is the church's business to right
the wrongs of the world, "says President
Gates of Iowa College. True, but the
church does not see those wrongs today
with any clear vision. Centuries ago it
lost the power of seeing by allowing a
thick veil of traditions, of selfish cus
toms and standards, to surround and
limit its vision. Just as the Jews fail to
see the real law of God and the divinity
of him who was anointed "to preach the
gospel to the poor," so the church has
lost its spiritual vision and power. It
rejects and crucifies the Christ toduy, aud
knows not what it does.

Thk different street railwoy companies
of Philadelphia by uniting are able to
snveabont $800,000 yearly in operating
expenses. They also propose to reduce
wages ten per cent. Farmers, how much
could be saved if by fifties or hundreds
you were to organize farming corpora
tions to cultivate the soil aud breed and
fatten stock? You could save a large
sum in farm machinery; you would
greatly improve your average methods
of cultivation; you would breed only
from high grade animals; you would
have all your labor economically direct
ed by the best farmers, feeders, breeders
and general managers among you, and
you could save much by buying your
supplies for all, at wholesale prices. And
why should not farming corporations be
formed, as well as manufacturing and mer
cantile companies? Why struggle along
single handed, poor, unable to compete
with organized capital, when it is in your
power to also organize, to combine furm
capital?
The great debate between Horr and
Harvey in Chicago closed last week, with
the advantage undeniably on the side of
Harvey. The goldbug papers very early
in the debate recognized the weakness of
their champion and have by their tired
remarks and forced admissions shown it.
Harvey was the best posted man, the
best reasoner, and in the question in dis
pute the facts and their logic favored
him. But the evil of the whole thing is
the teaching of both that we must have
primary money, two kinds of money and
one kind & redeemer or savior of the
other. This is the worst error of finan
cial teaching; it is the fallacy that sus
tains usury or interest, and by being be
lieved in superstitiously by the people
blocks the way of real financial reform.
Silver added to gold as money of final
redemption is not financial reform. Gold
silver and paper dollars, each to be full
legal tender is the Populist demand.
A Rev. Mr. Passmoiie of Denver, of the
Methodist persuasion, recently preached
a very plain sermon arraigning the lead
ing divines, bishops, and the rest of his
denomination for their failure to preach
the primitive gospel and condemn un
righteousness. He is now being punished
by the preachers of the conference.
Bishop Fobs, Dr. Shannon of Cincinnati
and Dean Peck were made a committee
to labor with him and try to force him
to agree to be less plain and personal in
the pulpit. He refused, and has been
cited to appear for trial before W. C.
Madisou, presiding elder of the Greeley
district. The charge is "unministerial
conduct."
THE AUGUST MAGAZINES
Current Literature for August is a
treasure, or rather a treasury. It is
wonderful how fine a collection of fresh
mntterthe C. L. Publishing' Company
can bring together euch month. The
miignzine is but f.u() a year, and con
tains each month 184 puges (double the
size of the Arena piige) filled with choice
selections from the latest books of fiction
poetry, biography, sociology; also
extracts from magazine articles, the
miigazines of two continents, nnd edi
torials of someof the lending dailies and
weeklies of the world, covering contem
porary thought upon a very wide rnngo
of subjects, There are also numerous
illustrations tnken from new books aud
magazines, and other attractive features

The Wealth Makers is one of the
staunchest Popnlist papers of the no

The Lincoln Wealth Makers last
week entered upon the seventh year of
its existence. It is one of the brainiest
papers published in the reform cause.
West Union Gazette.
The Wealth Makers has begun its
seventh year, and has won a national
name. It is straight Populist and no
Bryan fusionist can handle its editor. It
is a paper Nebraska Populists are proud
to rfer to. Burwell Eye.
The idea that the Populist party has
anything more in common with the dem
ocrats than it has with the republican
party is erratic. There are no demo
pops or popo-reps and the hangers on
who cluim to be the connecting link and
a drawing card iu a political wipe pull,
are dangerous men for the party to have
iu tow. Ex.
As we surmised and stated laRt week,
the object of the .Democrats in calling an
early convention was to get the endorse
ment of the Populists for Supreme
Judge. The Central City Democrat gives
it dead awtiy. Mr. Thompson, of Grand
Island, is the mau. According to the
Democrat, location, qualification, sym
pathy and influence inheres to such an
extent in Mr. Thompson, that not only
the Populists but the cuckoos and pie
biters Und no fault in him. This is too
much, lie must be deaf and dumb nnd
yet withal a mild tempered lunatic. The
scheme will not work, it is tw gauzy.
It was conceived to perpetuate a party,
not a principle. People's Runner.
This week we publish the call for the
13th judicial convention to be held at
Sidney, Nebraska, September 10th. The
nomination of a district judge is one of
the most important offices to be filled

The New believe that the stand of
Governor Holcomb is right. It is in be
half of law and peace and order. The
fact that the World-Herald, of Omaha,
edited by ex-Congressmun Bryan, which
supported Governor Holcomb for elec
tion, denounces him, does not change the
fact; neither does it that the republican
organ of the state upholds him. The
situation is a peculiar one. A Populist
governor is demanding that, to escape
the danger of not aud bloodshed, the
constitutionality of a controverted law
shall at once be submitted to the su
preme court a Republican body. Two
Republican state officials who, with the
governor, make the appointments under
the law, decline to approve his request
and insist that anarchy and bloodshed
and riot shall not deter them from ac
tion. The Republican organ of the state
sides with the governor; the free coinage
Democratic organ denounces him. The
law-abiding, peace-loving, practical vo
ters of the state will stand by the Popu
list governor.- Denver News.
The legislature of 1893 enacted a law
for the government of cities of the met
ropolitan class. That law contains 180
sections, of which seven or eight relate
to the police powers of the mayor ana
nolice department. The legislature oi
1895 made an attempt to repeal one of
these sections only. All the other sec
tions remain unrepealed, nor is there
any saving clause in the repeal bill that
can be taken to have even by implica
tion abrogated the powers vested in
the mayor as the chief magistrate and
conservator of the peace of the city.
Now, which law is the governor in
duty bound to enforce? Is he expected
to annul the charter powers of the
mayor when those powers are conferred
by a law of unquestioned validity? Is
he to deprive the mayor of his salary
and police functions as member of the
police board, which are guaranteed to
him by the charter? If he cannot en
force one law without nullifying another,
which law is he to enforce and which is
he to nullify? Omaha Bee.
In Kentucky the Democrats adopted a
gold standard platform and nominated
a free silver man for governor, l nis
kind of thing is characteristic of democ
racy everywhere. It favors free silver in
the state for state offices, and supports
the gold standard in the nation for the
federal offices. Kentucky democrats
want a free silver governor and a gold
standard president. In line with this ac
tion of Kentucky democracy the great
free silver Democratic convention at
Memphis, talked and howled for free
silver. That convention to which Popu
lists and all other friends of silver were
invited, appointed a committee to organ
ize the free silver forces, and now, as
might have been expected, that com
mittee comes out and says: "The finan
cial question can only be settled through
the action ot the Democratic party.
For six thousand years the devil has
been planning and collecting material to
construct a fraud that would measure up
to hiscompletest ideal. The Democratic
party as we now have it in the United
States is the result. Cedar Rapids Re
