Mj friends, did tou ever think why they crucified the Lord Jeus Christ? They cerer crucified him be cause of anr religions ideas that lie possefsed different from the masses.

A laboring people, this crime against their happiness, should no longer go unpunished I may not understand Democracy, Mr Speaker. I stand for the Democracy ' which has regard to the the Interests of the great masses as well as to those of the privileged few. I revere that Democracy of Jefferson, who stood for the rights of the people1 as against the aristocratic tendencies of New York and New England, which existed in those earlv davs. New York and New -tf m England, denounced him as a socialist, aa a communist, and as a demagogue. He is "hat I call one of the fathers of the Democracy. Thomas Jefferson once wrote: "I can scarcely withhold myself from joining in the wish of Silas Deane that an ocean of fire rolled be tween the old world and this." Why, how that utterance would make some of our modern anglomaniac statesmen jump.

Lincoi.X. Oct. 31. -About twelve o'clock last night a reputable citizen and a prominent business man of Lan. coin informed Rerifeant uartram noliee station that a squad of 200 deter rained men had resolved themselves into a court of alleged justice and were preparing to make the attack at some time during the nignt upon tne county iail and remove by force and arms Charles W. Mosher, who has been con fined there for the past week. Jvoth in? was said as to the identity of the leaders of the proposed attack upon the jail, but it was supposed that the informant of the police knew whereof he spoke. The sergeant called uj. Mayor Weir, but failed to get him, and then telephoned Jailor Langdon and advised him to take steps he deemed necessary to protect the prisoner. Mr. Langdon, as soon as he was in formed woke up Mosher, secured a horse and buggy and took the bank wrecker'away from the jail. About 1 o clock he drove around to police sta tion with his prisoner, lie then said he intended to drive about the city and the suburbs until daylight, when he thought it would be safe to return, tc the jail. Mosher was not in any easy frame of mind; he was pretty badly frightened. He said that he wished he was safe in Sioux Falls, where fear oi mobs would not keep him awake nights. It was a matter ot mnunaonot among The Place Which Attracts All Eyes. Washington. D. C, Oct. 27, '93. Editor Aluanck-Indepkndent: The period which has elapsed since the date of my former letter, October 7, has been pregnant with lessons for American voters. The greatest lesson of all and one which intelligent voters should not be slow to learn, is this: The only means by which the masses can contend against plutocracy with any hope of success is a ntw political party. There can be no question that an im mense majority of the American people are opposed to a single gold standard. There is no doubt tbat when congress assembled In the present extra session, teere was a majority in the United States senate opposed to the uncon ditional repeal of the Sherman law. Now if this great majority of the people had been organized into a political party with a well defined set of princi ples, the money power would today be suffering In humiliating defeat, Instead of enjoying a signal triumph. It is true that tha silver men have made a gallaut fight. They have de livered a series of speeches great in argument, instruction, force and elo quence. Many of them have proves to the country that they are brave men and patriotic statesmen. Butthey have been defeated. Why? Because, except the little band of populists, toey have been obliged to make their fight as rebels against their party organizations. Both the old parties with their prestige, machinery, press, money and patronage have stood solidly together for a gold standard. Silver Republicans and Dem ocrats have fought aa Individuals, un organized, without ivny machinery for organizing and directing public opinion, without a daily press, and without any definite policy except to defeat the re peal bill, or secure a compromise. The silver men of neither old party could look forward to the probability of gaining control of their party organiza'ion. Of all the men who have battled for silver only the Populists stood on firm politi cal ground; none but the Populists had an organization and a press to support them; none but the Populists had a well-defined political creed; "none but the Populists could look forward to political future. This analysis of the situation shows why the friends of the white metal have suffered defeat. The wonder is that they fought so well, and held out so long. The money power is victorious. It is Id absolute control of our government Finance reformers have fought their last great battle within the ranks of the old parties. Plutocracy will reign un disputed till a new political power arises and dethroaes it. After the repealers were defeated in their effort to force a vote by a continuous session, Voorhees arose and said: "This fight will continue on the same lines. Let no one imagine that we are defeated. the very few who knew of the alleged What..

These were brave words though, uttered by a traitor to his principles fighting for an ignoble cause. The Populists may well take up these words. The repeal of the Sherman law is no defeat for them. It serves only to clear up the situation and draw the line of battle, and in the language of Paul Jones the Populists can say: "We have only begun to fight; we will never ceaso till our country Is redeemed from the curse of plutocratic rule." I'OMTICAL NOTES The leaven ot political revolution is working in North Carolina. Last year the Populists and Republicans could easily have defeated the Democrats l! they had been united. Now that the ltcpusllcaa party has lost its national prestige, the North Carolina Kepubll cans are joining the 1'opullst ranks. The Democrat are badly divided; the rural voters mostly standing by senator Vance, and the city voter denouncing him and up holding Cleveland.

The division is now greater than ever. The stand for silver taken by Morgau and Pufih, Alabama's two senators, only adds to the Dsmocratlc confusion and bitterness. Already preparations are begun for next years "battle, and there form element are confident of winning. On Saturday evening, Oct. 21, senator Allen and Lafe Pence addressed a Pop ulist meeting at Aloxacdria, just across the river from Washington. There was a big crowd, including the best people of Alexandria, and they drank In Popu list doctrine eagerly. .Senator Allen was treated with the highest respect. WThen some of the New York ,,busi ness men" were down to 6ee Dave Hill a few days ago he advised them to mskt less noise. The people think Wall street Is at the bottom ot this scheme, and the more noise you make the more they are scared of It," said sly Dave. Even in New York state the Populists are eettine a start. In Cattaraugas county the Democrats have endorsed the Populist candidate for state senator, Ha name la Urban Prescott, and he has fair chance of election. It seems to be a reoof nlzed fact among uepuDiicats mat tne ucr senators of the west are no longer to be counted as Republicans. The Republi can leaders in the senate use such ex presslons as the following: "There is do doubt or division on this side. All the Republicans stand ready to vote for repeal." Well, the Populists are ready to welcome to their ranks all such Re publicans as Jones, Teller and Dubois. Congressman KcKeigkan had a severe attack of pneumonia on his return from Nebraska abont thrco weeks sgo, but he has now almost recovered, and is able to spend part of his time at the capital. Palmer, th gold bug senator from llinois, the other day threw out an nslnuatlon that Senator Allen's long sDeeon was made lor tne purpose oi obstructing legislation. Allen indig nantly denied the charge, and retaliat ed by saying tbat he wasn't here with any man's brass collar around his neck. At this point some other senator inter fered in behalf of senatorial courtesy and suggested tbat both remarks be Btricken from the Record. This Is simply one illustration of the manner in which Nebraska's Populist statesman strides from the shoulder when occasion demands. ' A year ago the men who said the money question was the leading ltsue before the American people were scarce enough to be called cranks. Now the man who would say the money question Is not the dominant issue would be hooted at as a fool. The New York World speaks of Ne braska's junior senator as "the Indomit able Allen." Senator Allen's record-breaking speech was great in breadth and depth as well as In length. Melklejobn is likely to keep out of Kern's melon-patch hereafter. The Broken Bow statesman is loaded. a Boston patriot. ' A Mr. Hamilton ot Boston has been down here to see Cleveland and the re peal leaders of the senate. He brought a petition signed by representatives of capital amounting to $350,000,000 That is the eastern idea of "voicing the sentiments of the people." Mr. Hamil ton is anything but a modest man. He gave Voorhees and Dave Hill a lesson in the proper methods to be used in over riding the "obstructing minority.'' It was easy enough: just get some bold fellow like Hill in the chair instead of the timid easy-going vice-president; then this temporary chairman could declare the silver men to be . "engaged In a conspiracy to defeat legislation," refuse to recognize them, and pass the repeal bill or a cloture resolution ia spite ot their protests. Then thfs same representative bean-eater was kind enough to tell congress what should be done after repeal. Among other things, gold-bonds should be issued to strengthen the reserve, all silver should be made redeemable in silver bullion at its commercial value, the greenbacks should be retired and replaced by some sort ot new-fangled paper, and nothing should bt Ttctictd bg tht eottrnmint for duties on imports ttctpt gold. Oh, it was beautiful scheme, and all ia the inter est ot those dear patriots up in Boston who own I3T0,000,000 of capital! Mr. Hamilton was treated with the greatest respvet, and no doubt his suggestions will be acted on as speedily aa possible. A TReUI RT DKriUT.
