A Weekly Resume of the Really Vital News by the Editor
- The Springfield Republican," which Is
bo cautious 'and conservative that it
would not venture to remark mat i t
was going' to rain" unless it saw every
body with their umbrellas up, got up
courage enough last week to venture
. the expression, after Tom Tagert went
home and Gorman assumed colrunand,
that: ,'It is a question whetii-r Mr.
Taggart is running 'the campaign or
net."
It looks a. little strange to be re
ceiving letters on the outside of the
envelop of which is printed. ' People's
l'arty Committee, 235 Broadway, Room
No. 16, New York."- But a good many
such letters are received at this office,
the last one was from J. A. Edgerton
in which he" says: "I have already
received assurance of tickets In Maine,
New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Con
necticut,' New York and New .K?rsey.
These aro'. the states assigned to rr.e
and I intend to leave no stone un
turned in cither of them." Edgerton
adds a postscript m which he says:
"Ticket in Delaware is assured since
this was written."
Since the naval authorities have sent
a cruiser outside of the harbor at San
Fancisco to keep Togo away, the of
ficers and crew of the Lena are having
a jolly good time.
Some of the old populrsts out in the
sandhills of Nebraska, who have been
in the light from the begiuninr;, have
been writing to the editor of The inde
pendent asking what this upucaval
down m the east really means. One
of them says in his letter: "Uo these
men really -understand populist prin
ciples or are they simply disgusted at
the action of the democratic national
convention and are going into it sim
ply to' beat Parker V The best answer,
to that, question Is to quote a para
graph or two from the populist plat
form recently adopted by the Con
necticut people's party state conven
tion: "The peoples party of Connec
ticut reaffirm the Omaha and eniicse
the Springfield platform, and as citi
zens of the New England states call the
especial attention of the voters to the
government ownership and control of
the railroads, and municipal ownership
of public franchises, which come in
touch with all the people. We would
ask the people to remember the coal
tamine oi the winter of 1902-C3 when
coal was selling at $14 to $20 per ton,
and In many cases could not be pro
cured at any price, and schools lac
tones and churches were closed, and
thousands of poor suffered trom want
of fuel.- We of the people's party hold
it to be true that with government
ownership f the railroads, which
would permit the small coal miner to
ship his coal as the small manufactur
er' can now ship his manufactured
goods, would destroy the power of the
coal trust to tax the manufactuters and
families of New England each year
hundred of millions of dollars to pay
unjust profits on the watered stock ot
the coal trust. We do not believe that
the government can'fully control what
it does not own, consequently wo ad
vocate that the government buy and
pay for the ralroails and tnen ccntol
,them through operating conipamtp or
otherwise for the benefit of the whole
people. Wo claim this principle bl.oi:ld
Co applied to trolley linos and all mu
nicipal lranehlscs, also to telegraphs
arj.d telephone and all pumie -means
of "communication for which riaut liters
are granted."
This is good enough populism for
The Independent and no doiLt when

this railroad to which the people do
nated enough land to build it and then
money enough to build it agalu. They
paid in excessive freight and passen
ger rates enough to build it five times
since then. The populists only demand
when the people pay for it once more
that they, shall own it. The editor ot
The Independent is denounced on the
streets of Lincoln every day for Dfeing
'too radical" because he believes in
such doctrine as that The people ot
Connecticut don't seem to think that
he is "too radical." ,
Again these sandhill populism of Ne
braska have been so opposed to fusion
that some 30,000 of them have refused
to vote for the last three or foui years.
The Independent advises them to read
what Henry M. McDonald, the 'chair
man of the New York county people's
party executive committee says about
fusion in this week's issue of The In
dependent. Perhaps by that time all
their doubts about the eastern populist
movement will be dispelled.
; Whenever a railroad wants to steal a
street they lay a track on it on Sun
day. That was what the Union r!ilflc
road did last Sunday in Omaha Every
citizen, being a part owner in the
streets has a right to take a galling
gun or a club and defend his property
againl such thieves, and the time will
come when the ' railroads wul run
against some such proposition as that.
During the first quarter of the year
there were fortthree strikes in the
state of New York and. the strikers lost
all of them- but five. Some of tneui
proved very disastrous to the unions.
Parry had it in for them, but he ex
pects them to vote his ticket which is
Parker and Roosevelt. -
Who would ever have dreamt that in
1904 Charley AVooster would be found
working for a Wall street stool-pigeon
for the presidency? State Journal.
. Who would have thought that a re
publican! paper in 1904 would point the
finger of scorn at any man who might
be found working -with Wall street to
elect a president. Crete Democrat.
Honest men everywhere are pointing
their fingers at both of them.
"According to a dispatch from New York
Judge Parker has been bankrupted be
cause of the nomination that the de
generates feave him in St. Louis But
he can't lay the blame on the degen
erates. .If he had just opened his
mouth a few times before tht degen
erates met he would never have been
nominated. It would have been Clyve-
land.
It is : announced that Belmont and
Gorman are putting all the money they
can raise into the states of New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana
to save: those states for Parker and
that the congressional committee to
whom is assigned the duty of electing
degenerate congressmen has oeen left
without a cent. The consequence is
that the men in charge of that com
mittee are going home. The deouerato
congressmen will have to louk after
their own campaigns. -
All the Indians in the great wild
west show at the St. Louis fair went
on a strike the other day. The Red
man is fast picking up the white man's
ways. The first thing we know there
will be a labor union on every reservation.
The fast cm wage worker is. confront
ed with very serious conditions. Trere

in meat and now Jn flour. Ail the

Both the government and the people
of Canada exhibit more patriotism and
courage in fighting the trusts than do
our boastful Yankees.' The Canadian
government has been slapping on re
taliatory duties and the people are or
ganizing neighborhood meat supply
companies so as to eliminate ihe meat
trust. Here in the United States the
people simply grumble and "vole 'er

The meanest fling at W. J. Brvan is
this poem of one stanza from the pen
of Lowell Otus Reese:
