We I ope our readers will not f;iil to
read every ns licle in the PlltSS-Jot'RKAL,
both inside and out.
The Mid !le-ul-tbe-roud populists have
bailed another national convention at
Cincicali for thy nomination of a Nation
al ticket. Kvcdetitlv, they are tired of
Burlier and Ikmieliv. '
erty and indepedence, militarism, trusts,
scandal and tiie gold standard law will
defeat t'betu. ' -
ialism that condemns Americans to ser
vice io a distant tropical country, where
all th conditions of life are unfamiliar,
debilitating and depre;,siDfr. Homesick
ness and melancholy, added to physical
discomfort, often disorder the intellect
ar.d end in insanity. American soldiers
do not enlist in an expectation of Jeudtnjr
the miserable life to which they are sub
jected in the malarious, fever-stricken
swamps of Luzon. They count o:i serv
ins their country under condition mor?
favorable to human happiness. Oi;r iui
periulisls flippantly send them to God
forsaken lands to work out ambitious
commercial and political scheme for
them. "Pais abuse of republican ideas
produces the long lists of victims of dis
ease, insanity and bullets with which we
nra becoming farmiliar. Our Govern
ment (should be directed to securing the
happiness of the people, but the host of
raving maniacs coming hack to us from
Manila seems to prove that its present
policy is not directed to that end.
Anti-Tru3t
Resolutions.
British forces in the Transvaal, now
aeeni to 1 getting down to genuine
nmnuvorinif and fighting. General
Trench and a p:rt of his brigade having
successfully reached Kimberly, which
has been bolengurwi for 120 days.
"Till trust and nionoply question is
-closely Isnmd up with the railroad quns
lion. If trust were not ulfie to get
rate or favors of the railroads beyond
their conif-titors tbev would le shorn of
tmlf their advantage." Farm, Field and
Fireside,
The Chandler amendment, to the finan
cial gold bill now Wore the U. S senate
for consideration, providing for an inter
national bi-niela)lio commission, should
foreign nations nsU for a l.i-mtallic con
ference, was defeated by a vote of 45 to
.V khowiii't roticlnsivelv that, the ad
ministration party were not sincere. It
is cih? il if, 1 ti fi -;iva t!n p-ioplo in
the interest of the republican party.
Jiut the peoplo cannot be fooled this
time.
The Peoples Independent Party Na
tional committee, were in session at
Lincoln, the fore part of the week, and
named Sioux Fahs, S.JJ.ik., as their con- j
vention city, nod May 9tb as the date for
holding thy convention.
Senator Hnmia says, "The English
government is just ni good as ours."
By the wty tba fTiy-Pauwwfort treaty
grants special privileges to England in
the Nicraguan, canal deal, president
McKinley and his premier thintk so too.
The Middle-of-the-roaders, or thi llan
na winr of the People Independent par
IV, pro)0.e to go into the Federal cotirt
nod, if possible prevent the regulars
from placing, or uring the parly name
on the nations! ticket.
Tlwse United Stat" will noon havo a
llritish financial policy. "We have a
colonial war on our hands, using the
army and navy to subduo liliertv and
independence, so i s England, why not
ihave everything jui.t like Ivgland, their
home and foreign policies aro identical.

Looking ov?r our exchanges recently
v noticed the following:
Blessed are they who scorn to borrow
their neighWs paper, Kvysio exchange,
od comes to the sanctum and lays
down the price of a years subscription
on the dsk and says: "Put me down on
your list; I liks your paper very much."
Yea. verily, they are happier, and such
ni these hpj entitled to ft front seat next
to the band!
Ex-council Hacrum, whom it is said
Sec. Hay removed from office, without
cause or provocotion, and substituted
in his place his own son. declares he
proposes to make it somewhat interest
ing and emhsrniHing for Mr. my and
president McKinley. If Maeruni a state
tnent is true then the president and Mr,
Hay should both h summarily impeach-
d. If Slftcrums statement is not true
then he should l-e banished or sent to the
national penitentiary for life. In either
ae it would tie ft lesson to others in the
f.iture that ofticiala or ex-ot!!eials
should be careful how they talk or act,
President Kruer, president of the
Transvaal republic, proposes to permit
women of the republic to go to the front
and assist their husbands, sons and
sneet hearts, in their fight for Liberty
and Independendence. We wonder if
such a spectacle as that should bo to the
civilized world will not influence presi
dent McKinley who is supposed to be
the honorable represcnlrtve of a liber
ty loving people and president" of a re
public, with a constitution, which de-
dares, all men. everywhere, nre born
free 8 nd equal, to then offer the good
o dices of these United States in behalf
of peace, batowceti a robbing empire on
one hand and a republic on the other,
lighting to maintain a Declaration of
Independence.
The infamous lluance bill which has
been before congress since It convened
last December, passed the senate on the
jfJth inst. by a strict party vote of 48 to
29. or a majority of 17 for the bill a
safe majority. Senator, Chandler. Teller
nnd Jones of Arkai-sas, each offered a
silver coinage amendment, but the G
O. P. Senators with but one exception-
Chandler VoUd to exclude any amend
ments relative to silver. Even Mr. Wed
rott of Colorado voted against such act
ions. Thus as a party the republicans of
the nation must po to the country in tho
-ampaiifn as the single gold standard
trty, Of course, the bill has not be
ome a law, but there Is little doubt but
tlie conferees will accept either the
4muse or the senate measure with little
modification, if any. It certainly will
