Which shall it be, bonds or money? That’s the question. The only way to abolish usury is by government loans direct to the people. The plutocrats want more bonds, the people want more money. Watch and see who wins. The State of New York seems to tax a man heavier for dying than for living. The inheritance tax on the Gould estate is $750,('OO. If Hoke Smith wants to come west as is reported we can assure him that he won’t be egged as General Weaver was in Hoke’s state. Grover Cleveland is reputed to be worth $250,000. Mrs. Cleveland is worth more than that and holds her property in Lor own right. If all the investigating committees had a Donnelly to lead t hem the trusts would not find it such smooth sailing. He got after the Minnesota coal combine and that institution don’t know now where it is at. Agriculture is the greatest single interest in the U nited States. It furnishes three fourths of our exports, yet the appropriations it receives from the government is less than 1 per cent of the total appropriations. It must require an unlimited amount of gall on the part of the Kansas stalwart Democrats to face President Cleveland and demand of him the federal patronage to be allotted to that State, after having worked for and voted for Ben Harrison.

The panic scare didn't scare the people worth a cent. The masses have reached a point where a panic wouldn’t hurt them much. It is a chronic complaint with them which they would be glad to see "Wall Street afflicted with occasionally. The Cleveland gang have formed what they call a “circle.” Lt would hardly be safe to call it a ••court,” the people might not like it. so we will just call it a “circle” now, and when used to it the change to “court” will be easy. Oh, dear me,. how we do advance. The first thing that took place after Cleveland's election, involving any expense to the people, was the innauguration ball, which cost over £IOO,OOO. For Democratic simplicity and economy in government expenses this takes the cake and a good large hunk of the pie. Oh, for a chance!

Grover Smith contributed £71.65, tines and costs, at the January term of court, for selling liquor on Sunday and running a gambling house. It seems rather curious that a “man of good moral character” should be thus imposed upon by the state. The commissioners should give him license, in order that he may get back some of this forced contribution to the state. And then he should be rewarded for publishing his notice of application in the ring organ. Some people have rather queer conceptions of what constitutes a good moral character. For instance, in all seriousness

Grover Smith declares himself to be “a man of good moral character and a fit person in every particular to be entrusted with the sale of intoxicating liquors,” notwithstanding the fact that at the January term of court, on his plea of guilty, he was fined on three different indictments, two for selling liquor on Sunday and one for running a gambling house. A pertinent question might be asked: What constitutes a “good moral character” in Wheatfield?

The low price of grain for the past three years when there was a shortage here and a famine in Europe was explained by boards of trade men as an effect of unfriendly legislation in business matters, that uncertainty as to the future deterred men from extensive operations and were the Hatch bill out of the way, much better prices would prevail. The measure was denounced by the gambling horde and their hired editors as “unwarranted interference with business matters,” “granger folly,” “alliance idiocy,” etc, etc. Well, through the cowardice of some, the treachery of others and the purchase of the purchaseable, the Hatch bill was defeated, whereupon the price of all kinds of grain went down, just the reverse of their oft repeated declarations. The truth is, capitalists are a unit in forcing down the farmer’s products, and the sooner farmers learn that lesson and act in concert to counteract their nefarious schemes, the sooner will agriculture receive its just reward. Keep it before the people that the defeat of the anti-option bill was the work of dastardly scoundrels in behalf of thieves and gamblers.

From the Field.

Senator George, of Mississippi, who was on the committee to inquire into the causes of agricultural depression, has discovered that “there is a great deal of unrest and discontent throughout the country.” The Senator is very dull of comprehension or he would have made this important discovery some time ago. It is said that there are 30,000 idle workmen in Chicago, and that number is constantly increasing. The various unions of the city have spent thousands of dollars helping the unfortunates. Tom Watson is being talked of as a candidate for Governor of Georgia by his Populist friends in that state. The recent decisions of the Federal judges on the relations of capital and labor are giving new impetus to the question of government control of railways. The Minnesota Legislature has passed a law prohibiting the discharge of laboring men for belonging to unions. The Populists polled 2,300 votes at a recent election held at Oakland, Cal.

The assertion of the St. Louis Republic that the issue in the west will be “bimetalism or bust” is significant, considering Cleveland’s attitude on the silver question. John Sherman is reported as saying the death knell of the Republican party has been sounded. Where will old John go. “Thirty thousand men,’’; says the Rev. Joseph Cook recently, “now own over half the United States; 50,000 will soon own the Republic. Over 30,000 women voted at the recent municipal elections in Kansas, showing that they will avail themselves of their opportunities if given a ch ance to exercise the election franchise.

Minnesota is mining for corporations, and is striking new leads almost every day. The last is a timber steal of over $3,000,000 in the pine lands of the state by a system of false entries practiced by lumber companies. It is proposed by the Alliance people of Texas to convey to the World’s Fair the house in which the Farmers’ Alliance was given birth, and set it up near the headquarters on the fair grounds. In California the railreads refused to pay their taxes, but finally settled at 60 cents pn the dollar. Farmers and business men do not pay their taxes in that way.

There is said to be $91,202,880 of British money invested in breweries alone in this country, saying nothing of land, mines, railways, manufactories and other investments. No wonder we have the English system, and that the United States is practically a British dependency. In a recent speech at Philadelphia. Henry Watterson said: “To-day it costs 11,000,000 to place a presidential candidate in the field, and 85,000.000 to elect him. To contest a seat in the United States senate SIOO,OOO must be spent.” Is it possible the people will shut their eyes to such admissions and say the Republic is not in danger? Wendell Phillips said years ago: “Here, on the soil enriched by the blood of the patriotic dead, is to be erected an aristocratic monarchy, with wealth as its God.”

Sensible Words.

Ed. Pilot.—ln your last issue was a letter from ‘‘Old Timer” in which were a few thoughts that it would be well for us to consider. He says “National and county politics are, or should be, two different things.” He says ‘ ‘let us look after our county matters first, then attend to state and national; let’s learn that it is possible, that it is sometimes needful to be a national Republican and a county Democrat or Populist.” Mr. Editor, we have lived in four different counties of this state, two of them were Democratic and two were Republican; we have seen dishonest and incompetent township and county officials many times do very bad work for the people; we have seen county treasurers “skip” with thousands of dollars, and ■by some little hook or crook their bondsmen released and the county thereby made the loser; we have seen a defaulting county clerk try to commit suicide and failing, flee the country; we have known incompetent and dishonest township trustees to bankrupt their township and all brought about by voters regarding national and local politics as one and the same. How often have we found ourselves knowingly voting for incompetent and unworthy local candidates There is perhaps not a voter fifty years of age in Jasper county but what will say he has many times knowingly voted for the wrong township or county candidate simply because he belonged to his state and national party. We complain of rings, county and township mismanagement, high taxes, etc., forgetting that we ourselves are more than half to blame for the existing wrongs. Now, the man that knowingly votes for an incompetent, dishonest candidate, that knowingly stands by an extravagant, scheming clique because they support his candidates for governor and president lacks just a little of being politically, and we may say morally, honest. As for me and my house, henceforth it matters not what a man's state and national politics are, if he is known to us to be unlit for the position to which he aspires, if he stands in with tin? county crowd that oppresses us he need not come this way for help. Why should I support men and measures that I know will work to mine and my neighbors disadvantage? Gentlemen, you may crack your party whips, sing your campaign songs, hurrah for the flag, talk of Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Patrick Henry, Geo. Washington, and all the patriotic dead, but when it comes to voting money out of my pocket by voting against the interest of my township and county in order to strengthen the state and national party organizations, you may count me a national Republican and a county Democrat or Populist, or vice versa. I have my own views on state and national questions. I vote with the party whose doctrines and practices nearest meet those views. County politics, county parties, with me, have nothing whatever to do with state and national politics and parties. If the practice and policies of my state, national and local parties, in my mind agree, I gladly vote the straight ticket, if they disagree I honestly, conscienciously and religiously scratch.' New Comer.

EdlTlng A Newspaper.

Editing a newspaper Is a pleasant business—if you cau stand it. If it contains many advertismeats the subscribers complain that they take too much space. If their is a scarcity of advertising it is unpopular and the people wont have it. If we attend church regularly they say we go for effect. If we stay away from church they say we are monstrously heathenish. If we accept an invitation to a wedding they say we were invited to “write it up.” If we go to the opera house they say we go on free tickets. If we are seen on the streets too often they say we neglect our business. If we avoid going on the streets they say we don’t hustle around after the news. If we reject a long-winded communication its author becomes furiously enraged and discontinues his paper. If we publish lengthy communications our readers say we lack discretion and put in anything “to fill up.” If we neglect to decorate our office windows on Washington’s birthday, they say we lack enterprise, and that there isn’t a drop of patriotic blood flowing in our degraded carcases. If we swell out in a new suit of clothes and celebrate groundhog day, they say we got our clothes in payment for advertising, and that we are by far too foppish. If, in our frailty, we sometimes perpetrate a joke, or make a stagger at a poor little pun, they say we are exceedingly light and won’t do.

If we omit jokes, they say we are poor, miserable fossils. If we are single, they say we are too helpless to get married. If we are not single, they say it is a pity for our wives. If we publish a man who has brought disgrace upon his family, the friends of the family never forgive us. If we, out of goodness of heart, decline to say any thing on the subject, the man’s enemies are disappointed, and we are branded as white-livered cowards. We are able to stand these raps and many more, and are always ready to receive visitors whether accompanied by a dog or not. Of course we do not claim there is any work in running a newspaper; everyone knows it is a snap.—Weekly Journalist.
