A MISTAKEN FOP
A populist member of the legislature
fetilnir thla editor of eom of the
doing of tb republican in the recent
PAmnalirn out In hi county. II said
ther rao their whol campaign on He,
They declared that o much money had
been received for taiee on amount 01 tn
McKlnley prosperity that Mesarve, bo
ld paying off a mall part of tb aiate
debt, had hundred of thousands 01 uoi
lar deposited in bank on which b wa
drawing lutereet for hi own beneut
The dunlud that tb einenae of the
atat had been cut down and declared
that all th intltution were being run
In the moat Mtravagant way. In fact
be dldu't bellcr that they could tell tb
truth If they tried.
The Ikwki'Knokkt sdltor inslstsd tbat
he wa mlMtaken. but h (Dilated that
tbey bad lied ao long and ao peraltentl,r
that It wa Impoaelble for them to M
the truth. Haws then taken Into the
Llndell hotel and told to lisUo. A little
group of republican near th door were
discussing Thomaon. Tbey all declared
tbat TboniHon wa nothing but a money
aeeker, robbing th peopl with bla ga
and electric light franchlae and utterly
unfit to occupy any office of truat what
rer, aud to aeplr to tb United Btate
senate was an Insult to tb whoi aiate.
Another little group wa declaring tbat
Webater'waa nothing but a wblte-reated
dude, wbo bad 00 trior Idea of what th
oeool of thla atat wanted than tb
man In th moon. Ilealde tbat he bad
greatly damaged th party Jo tb state
by declaring that tbecbeaper wheat was,
tb better it wa for tb people of thl
state. Another group declared that
toaewater wa ft dlagrac to th state,
For tb laat thirty your til principle
business bad been to alander and rilify
erery man In th state wbo would not
submit to bla dictation that If he were
elected senator, no man In tb whole
party would b saf from bl reoom.
Judg Field wo denounced by another
group a too small a man to fill th
Mm, 11 bad allowed llryan to defeat
fill In a district where ther was 8,000
republican majority and if he were sent
to Washington, field would b tbe
smallest toad In tb puddle, th atate
would bar no Influence and nobody
could get anything. Tbe other candi
date wore walked about In th sam
way.
W'bi'ii the old pop got outside again,
be wa asked what b thought about
tb ability of th republican to tell th
truth when tbey wanted to. If replied;
"lglvltup. I waa miataken, I see
that when a republican really tries he
can tell tb truth in ren more rigorous
angung than tb areragepop. Krery
on of tbein wer telling tbe truth, th
whole truth and nothing but tb truth."
A SOCIALIST KX III HIT.
Tb editor of the Dakota Ituraliet
says; "Tb nkwmska inokpempknt
say In commenting on recent editorial
in tb Ilaralist tbat "ther is not a so
cialiet plank In tb populiet platform
and never bas been." I'robably tbs
editor of the Inoki'kndknt would not
now a "socialiet plank" if be met It In
th road."
In that item shines forth the true
spirit of soclalimri. Wherever thl
writer ha met them, tbat is the way
they talk. Irt a dozim ol tbetn get to
wither in diecueeion and it will not be
many minute until the will be de

The editor ol tbe Inoki'Knuknt may not

A WOltO WAMTKII.
About two years ago a dlatlngulsbcd
unirerslty professor wa delivering
lecture In which lie frequently used tbe
word "aoclttllam." One In tb audience
at laat aroe and nuked the profeaNor to
define aocialiam ao tbat th audience
would know what be waa talking about.
The profeesor beeitated for moment
and then aald: "I see tb difficulty which
baa arisen In tb gentleman' mind. It
1 on tbat baa often troubled me. Tbe
truth la, we need a new word In the ling'
lleb language to deecribe a new syetew
tbat ha corn Into etfeteue within tb
lut few year. Tb ownerehip of a pub
lie fraud) I by a city where tb employ
Is hired and paid a salary, wbo Is free to
quit at any time and to spend bis money
as b may see fit, I not lb system ad
rocated by Carl Marx or any rccogulznd
socialistic authority, f or want 01 a
word 1 bar called it socialism, I ao
oept tb impllnd criticism a being jut
and well merited. Hut what word shall
I use?"
It wa afterwards suggested to th
professor that he cull thl new system
"popullem." It f a new syatemand it
baa grown ft great deal faster than tbe
populiet party baa grown. It la per r ad
n n every section of the land and bas a
strong footbold in erery nation on the
face of th earth. Th ownerehip of
public utilities by th state is the very
eeeence.of populism. Hut that I unot ti
er syetem altogether Irom the ownership
of "all tb means of production and dis
tribution" advocated by tbe social labor
party and all tb standard social l tic
writers. It is so different that th two
ar essentially antagonistic, Tn old
socialism Is sometime called "collect Ire
Ism," If they would adopt that term
and stick to It, then a populist might be
siciised if he said be waa a socialist.
Now be put himself ontsld th party
by so declaring.
A MAOAZIWK aUKFIilSK,

give tbe first full literary expression to
the principle of tbe populiet party.
Tbe author is perfectly unconscious, of
the fact,' and never Intended to give tx-pn-eeion
to populism, which only goes
to make hi writing more effective, II
some one should go into tbe ofllce of the
proprietor aud tell them that article
was populism pure and un defile J, ther
would not beliure it, so little doe the
euet know what those principle are.

The judicial Is one of the three depart
ments of our government, and if the
gorercment falls in any one of it de
partment it fails in all. During tbe lant
few year many thoughtful men hare
bad fear that tbo very foundation of
liberty were being slowly undermined by
decisions of tbe courts, Tbey have taken
away from congrea tb right of taxa
tion in Its most important form, they
bar taken away tb right of leglla-
turn to control tb public highways,
they bur nullified the moat Important
provisions of tb stat constitutions
where tb constitution bar by express
prorisioo granted tbe right tocontro
railway charges. Tbey bar declared It
impossibl for th public to protect
Itself against tb most outrugeou rob
bery by corporations, and granted to
these corporation greater power to op
press than wo srer exercised by a feudal
lord of tb middle ages.
Here is a list of tbe corporations, se

Utilisation of a tract railway for orer
0,000ft mile and tb collection of
fare to pay interest on such capitalisa
tion fs nothing but robbery, It I forc
ing the public who patronise thsroad
to pay lutereet on money tbat was never
ri vested. It I tb levying of a tax 00 a
part of the people of Chicago wbo ar
least able to pay It, equlrolent to the
Interest of r,0,000,000. In other words
the people ar ' robbed at the rata of
1450,000 annually. Th court abso
lutely refua to protect th people from
this robbery, and make themselves par
tlcep crimluia with tb robbers,
I' rom thl form of robbery the people
must lie relieved. The American people
will yet find aome peaceable and orderly
way In which It can be done, Erery
truat and almost every railway Is en
gaged In this sort of robbery. To rob
under the decision of our courts, it I
only necessary to form a corporation,
issue bond and stock to twice tb
amount of tb money In rested, then
transfer tbe bond and stock to the
band of third parties and a permanent
taxing power fs conferred on tb rob
bers tbat goea on a long a tb gor
ernment shall exist. Nothing I more
opposed to justice, to tbs genius of ou'
form of government or to the bee ti ate
est of society, than th principles win
bar been laid down and enforced by
our modern courts. There must be a
way and the pnoplo will discover It,
whereby these robberies can be pre
vented. THIS HKYAN BANQUET.
Krery man wbo attended tbe banquet

Mr. Dryan'a great reputation aa an

Mr. Iiryan never before spoke with the
force, power and eurneMtnees that he
epoke that night. It Is no uso to try to
quote sentence or to try to deecribe
It I all iudeecribable. Krery sentence
sank into tbe heart of the listeners, It
wa a plea for gorerument by the con
eentof th governed. When he aald
that he bad protested against the en
forcing of alieu lawe upon thi country
in IHOQ.he asked with a seriousness that
produced a solemn effect: "How could

What I to ba will be, and there la no use
kicking. '
All tbe talk about the bullion value of
silver by tb goldites I mere hypooricy
They don't care any more for the ralde
of th bullion in the dollar than do the
populist. If they did, they wonld har
demonetised gold instead of silver In
iota, ror At that time silver was at a
premium orsr gold. Th claim tbat
they ar opposed to silver because the
rulue of the bullion la th dollar I only
fifty cents, Is mer rot with which they
hope to deceive the people, What tbey
ar concerned about I the purchasing
power of the dollar. That I tbe only In
tercet they have In th dollar, If tbey
can beep that purchasing power arow
Ing, they know tbat tbey will soon own
tb whol world.
When tb question of rate I before
the court, th magnate will appear in
all their glory and swear that tbelr
roads ar worth a hundred thousand
thousand dollar a mil and that rate
made on any valuation less than that
would be confiscation. Thenlhe court
gravely announce.' "That I all true,"
and tlx the rutee accordingly. When
tbe question of taxation Is before the
courts, theee same magnates just a
cheerfully swear that their road ar
worth almost nothing at all and that
to tax them would be confiscation.
Then tb court grarely announce,
"that is all true," and the magnate go
Away with a rery bfgh opinion of the
saactity o tbe courts. And tbe pop
says: "There U something about these
court tbat no fellow can find out,"
Th condition surrounding this na
tion at tb present time seem to be such
a to force the United State govern
nient! to adopt one of the principle ot
popullem. Th Nicaragua canal I a re.
ceenliy, not for tb expansion of com
merce only, but for tb defense of tb na
Ion. lb common sens of tbe
American people will yet force th gor
eminent to build and own It. When it
does, tbat will be a tremendous ad ranee
of populist principle. Tb theory of
tbe public ownership of publio utilitfca
will then bar national sanction and
by natural evolution will grow until
tb publio highways, tb telegraph and
telephones will all become publio prop
erty. If It were not for adopting repub
lican logic, we should say that It was
"manifest destiny," or "tbe evident will
of providence."
Mark Hat na made more use ot the
uewepaper In hi campaign than any
national chairman ever did before. Tbe
result was so eatlsfuctory that in the

sentence and not cut it off just there.
Tbe remainder of it 1 of much more im
portance. It is: "Anything that the
government can do better than any
other agency should always and every
where be done by the government." Th
traneportation of the whole nation
could be much better done by the gov
ernment thau by any other agency and
bould ba immediately taken in control.
So with tb service rendered by tbe tel
ephone and telegraphs, the express bus
iness and tb building of tbe Nicaragua
canal. Tbe difference between populism
and aocialiam is that populists would
bare tbe government own and control
all those things tbat it can manage
better than private parties and private
ownership of all those things that can
beat be managed by private parties,
while socialise would bare erery thing
owned and managed by a central gor-ernmont.

We think the Kansas none cut a doir
Into when they called an extra eee-
slou of their leglelature after being
licked at the ballot txx. The people
and not party should bo the motive
power. The people will not go back
on a party as long as the party acta
for the people, but when the lenders
act for their own pocket they ought
to be turned down, Kansas and Ne
bmska ore on the hiifh road to rood
government as long as a few hundred
votes will change party control.

The law passed two veers aero cut
ting off all deficiency judgment after
a mortgage sale has been made ia an
advunce law in tbe right direction.
One more low in tbe aome direction is
needed: that of exemDtinfir homes
from mortgage as well oa from Judg
ment. Mortgages on homes ought not
to ue legal, nor should they be al
lowed oa record. Let na have more
free homes. A sale on mortgage is
oa bad as sale on judgment.

Igna of the "lockjaw" or "mllitarr
stmt" and to all appearance in action
and word he la the same warm friend
of the common people. No wonder the
corporatione, truRt and millionaires
turn a cold shoulder on hira; he ia not
of them or for them. The same east
ern fellow ridiculed Lincoln and yet
many common people Joined with them
a they do now ngnlnet Brvan. There
1 more patriotism today in Nebraska
than iu New York and more intelli
gence, hellish snobbery rule the
east. They are able to put on style
by dictating all our law in their own
n tercet to our lose.
We believe that all the nronertv.
farms, notes and mortgage on which
profit, income or intercut is derived
in the Mate of Nebrneka should be
taxed equally, accordina to eelllnir
slue, for the eupiiort of state govern
ment. No matter if the owner of a
farm or mortgage live In another
state, the property should lie tnxed
here where profit 1 derived." We
