vote of the people, can be had by reading «the daily papery and noting the loss of time in our legislative bodies, and counter charges of bribery, caucusing, and general demoralization. No fusiou, no tacit understanding, no talking across the line, no “you tickle me and I'll tickle vou, M no, not a bit of it. All that we will do will be to invite them to vote our ticket. WTiile the old parties remain as i they are, we must regard both as enemies of the people, to be destroyed as quickly as possible. When Cleveland was elected in ’B4, he wrote a letter to congress, urging the repeal of the Bland silver bill, foretelling untold calamities if it wasn't repealed. Sjnce his re-election he is busying himself to have the Shermau silver bill repealed. Wall street never makes a mistake when selecting jumping jacks. Governor Matthews urged economy in every department, whereupon the Democratic reform legislature proceeded to create about forty positions for heelers that will pay S2OO a day during the session. Say, Democrats, how many more* object lessons of that kind will it require to convince you that your leaders are utterly corrupt? Can’t you learn anything?

It is indeed very unbecoming a professional man and active church member to belittle .another church and its members as did “Three Stars” in last week's Republican. “The pious editor of the whang-a-doodle variety’’ referred to by “Three Stars” had nothing to do with the articles that seemed to give such offense. They were written by parties with no pretension to piety. Go ahead, “Three Stars,” fling your dirt at us, ridicule the Pilot People’s party to your satisfaction, but for decency’s sake don’t drag a church into a fight in which not one of its members has ever said or done a single thing you refer to.

The government is the best employer in the world. Everyone is anxious to enter its service. The government is the best paymaster, everyone is whiling to be its creditor. The government is the best and cheapest banker in the world, its full legal tender dollars have never depreciated one cent, and it has furnished its people three and forty-six mill ions of good money as was over counted without the charge of one cent of interest for thirty years. The government is the best educator, cheapest transporter, best fighter and peace officer in the world. Why then hand over any of these proper functions of the government to private parties for speculative purposes? For the want of horse sense.
