A new term must be admitted to tbe

Tbe only social communism that this
world will ever adopt is a communism of

Education often puts the pauper on
the Intellectual throne and makes tbe
king bis subject, but education Is not
al obtained in the colleges and universi
ties, Tbe contact with men and wltb
nature sometimes produces the highest
education.
It seems that every time a republican
administration is elected tbe people be
gin to get frightened and a cry is raised
for more troops. Wbat does tbe tblng
'mean anyhow? There does not seem to
be a demand for troops to keep order

Every age has Its orate. One It was
knight errantry. Then It was moaastl

erase of our time Is tbe Insane craving
for wealth. Intellect, character, affec

tbe whole world seems to be a mad
house, where all the Inmate are scroam

For fifty yeare the scholars of tbe uni

Why any man who is interested In th
public questions tbat are euroing tbe
attentions of the people 01 trie torn
States should want to tke a republican
paper, Is beyond comprehension. If be

will fled it there. Tlie pas of the pa
Ders are filled with wH written amount
of polltiottl scandals, divorce mv, horse

trials, afo robberies, poisoning esses
and all ths varlou matters of that kind
that ar continually happening, but of
tb great moremeutsof thought and tb
many problems that are pressing for
m,tt iimont. and wb cu must oe mnvua.
If we are to have a government aud
country at all, there Is lltllo or nothing.
Olauestlon like tb following, mu
everywhere ar thinking, but nothing
will be found ia tbe republican press con
corning thorn. Ha every man a right
to live? Hhould the power with which
all human beings are ei-dowed bedvel
ooed? Has th Individual tb right to
Insist on an "opportunity" for develop
merit? Is tb land (iod's gift to all or
has a certain clue a right to moke
monopoly of It? Ha every man a right
to an opportunity to work? Has any
ote a moral right to more than be needs
or can uso, while others want away
from want? Ha a man a right to
protection io proporty that be never
earned, which was procured by fraud or
bribery? I labor the source of all voluo7
Ought Individual wealth to be permitted
to accumulate Indefinitely, growing frorn
generation to generation so a to accu
mutate all wealth la a few bauds? Shall
tb right continue to reoelvbyln
beritance those 1 in manse fortune with
out taxation 1 when passing frorn tbe
dead man to tb living one? Bball the
DriviloK to form trust to control tbe
aoccsearle of life and make monopolies
of them be con tin awl?
Whil those questlonsand many other
of equal importance ar pressing for
solution and ar In tb thought of all
intelligent men, no republican editor ha
tbsoourageor ability to discuss tbem,
At least tbey do not discus tbem. Wbat
bjoot then can a reasonable man who
I a patriot, bar In taking a republican
paper? It may be tbat they bar never
taken any other sort of a paper and do
not know tbat thee thing ar written
about any where. If some of th popu-
ists would make it a point to mention
to republican neighbor that the ques
tion reoelr constant attention In tbe
populist paper, tb circulation of popu
list literature would b greatly in
creased. - '

It I stated in tb dispatches that Tom
Reed has accepted a position In a law
firm In New York and will reelgn hi seat
n Congress. There will be a great big
vacancy In tb bouse of representatives,
for Tom Ileed "i tree foot on way, six
oot toder, and . weighs tree hun

hereafter make 1100,000 a year. He
will still keep charge of th insurants

ount be could make while acting a czar

Tom Heed bos not only been tbe czar
of tb house for tbe lust few years,

give more time to their Interests than
ever, and the iusuraace dupes of ths west
will be sheared mor closely than they

"TBEASON
Gen. X) tie denounces that telegram
from Omaha to a company in tbe First
as "treason." The Independent said
about tbe same thing about It last week.
Tbe thing to do is to decide whether the
United States Is to prosecute tbie war
against the Filipino. If It Is, then we
must all support th government wheth
er we like it or not. It will not do to
advocate the prosecution of McKlnley's
war and at tb sain time send cable
grams to the soldier to com borne.
That I treason, Fo populist bad any

Otis denounces, Tbey have more sens
than tbat. It wa the work of McKin

There bas been much discussion about
wbat is the right nam with which to
designate tbe Filipinos wbo ar fighting

nlcally correct. Now these nigger wer
bought by McKloloy for about $2 a
head. Then tbey got up an insurrection
or rather what would bav been called a
few year ago In tb south, a Slavs
mutiny. As "contumacious" moan
iwrsevuring disobedience to orders, why
not call these nigger chattel "contu

Tbey bav been tbrougb tbe universities

bav studied logic aud rhetoric but tbey
apply their knowledge and all tbe skill
mey nav tnu acquired to conceal or
distort tb truth. Tbe man wbo write
most of th editorials for tb State

seem to bav mad a special study of
tbat part of tb science tbat treat of

One of tbe sophistries pointed out In
tb text book i to assume a proposi

all, wbicb I falsa, and than draw a con
clusion from tb premise thus assumed.
n tbe edition of April 22, tb Journal
mad us of this fallacy lx time. Tb
following paragraph alone contains
throe such fallacies: , ..'
"Tb peeslmlstio pop wbo bav been
figuring a prophet of evil ever since
their iriend Aguinaldo nodertook to
break tbrougb our thin line at nigbt to
loot Manila and murder tb foreigner
there, ar much taken bock by tb later,
advice from tb Philippines. . Their pre
diction tbat tb Tagals would carry on
a guerilla warfare in tb mountain for a
generation wer founded oa quicksand."
Her it 1 assumed tbat th pop ar
pessluiistie, tbat they ar peculiarly
rlendsof Aguinaldo, - and they expect
that tbe Filipino will carry oa a guer
Ilia warfare for tbirty-tbree years.
Tb writer of tbat paragraph doe not
expect tbat any Intelligent man will ac
cept those assumption as true. He
know that anyone who ba the slight
est knowledge of logic will instantly
point out the fallacies that lie so plainly
upon tbe surface. It is simply an appeal
to Ignorance and party prejudice. Tbat
is always tbe last hope of a dying cause.

Dr. LYMAN ABBOTT.
Dr, Lyman Abbott bos an article ia
Outlook advocating imperialism. In
reading it one cannot fail to .lose hope
for a government by reason. When a
man with an intellect and education like
Dr, Abbott, through religion prejudice
or tbe association in every day life by
which be is surrounded, will calmly sit
and argue from two premises which are
self contradictory and claim tbat tbey
both support bis contention, wbat can
we hope from the ordinary toiler who
bas not bad tb advantages of an edu-'
cation? In advocacy of the prosecution
of tb war in tb Philippines and tbe
conquest of tb people of thos island
Dr. Abbott says: ,
'There are some communities mad
up of barbarians with whom you can
not reason W must compel
obedience by force, that tbe foundation
may be laid for the operation of reason
and conscience."
, His conclusion wbicb be arrive at
after going over tbe whole matter Is:
"If we have faith in God, th Father
of tbe human race, revealed to u
tbrougb bis son Jesus Christ; 11 w bav
faith in love a th law of Ufo, If Chris
tlaulty moan to live and to love; if it
means to do justly aud lov Ujercyaod
to walk bumbly with God-woe to u
Christian men and women if In this hour
when th world Is opening to us, when
tb gates are fluug apart and law is be
Ing established where law was never
known before; when commerce whit
winged, is going where commerce never
went before wo to us if we bav no
mossuge, or no courage to send our
message!"
"To walk humbly before bis God" an
American must carry a Krag-Jorgouson
on bis shoulder, 200 rounds 00 bis belt
and be backed up wltb automatic, rapid
firing gun. Thea according to Dr.
Abbott be I "walking bumbly befor
bis God." Could a greater fraversfty
on human reason be found ven In tb
unruly ward of an Insane assylurn?
Then cast a glanc at tb assumption '
in tbat paragraph, statement tbat he
assumes a true and not to be denied.
"Th gate ar flung apart." Tbey ar
not In th Philippines for th native peo
pi ar piling them high even with their
dead bodle to keep u out. "Wber
aw never wa befor." Wber I tber
ucb a place on all this wide earth? It
may not be our law, but th most bar
barous tribe bav law wbicb the obey.
Wber ever man Is found, there will la w
