As a specimen of genuine calamity howling we refer our readers to the Republican state platform. Tiie autocratic rule of the doiiar in t : i is country is well nigh ended. It is high time that it was. If all power over the money was taken from the banks that would be the end of financial panics. How many more times must the Americans be run through the hell of contraction before they learn that the bankers are the devils that lay the plans and spring the trap. Let';-; not go wild this year over congressmen and state officers ana forget the mismanagenipTlf of affairs right here at home. Jasper county first, the state and nation next.

Bradstkee'c says that business is carried on in a “hand to mourn way. Yes, you lousy old pimp of plutocracy, and the hand in very many instances has nothing to carry to the mouth. So long as the control of the money-is in bankers’ hands, just so long you may expect panics, and neither Reps or Dems dare molest them. Give us a chance and we will scatter them like polecats before a prairie fire. R. G. Dux & Co. say wheat for May has touched the lowest point on record. Say, R. G. D. & Co. where is . that great advance in prices that you said stood ready j p spring upon the the country and only was waiting for the repeal of the Sherman law. Oh, you treacherous liars.

While Dun admits an increase of failures, takes it as a gratifying sign that the losses number less dollars. Of course they do you old lunkhead. If we keep on appreciating our dollars. the last ones that will number only a few dimes. Gratifying, ain’t it?

The so-called Christians of Indianapolis have decided that the gospel of Christ is too good a thing for the poor devils that are following Frye, and have determined to maintain a monopoly of the article for themselves. If they are to be accepted as specimen bricks of what the gospel can do in making a Christian out of a heathen, we don’t believe the Fryites, Coxeyites or any other ites are any the worse off if they don't get any of it.

The Coxey movement from the standpoint of considerate men, is visionai-y and will end without beneficial results. But while that will most surely be the outcome, every man owes it to. himself and his country to see that the right of petition and the right to peaceably assemble for the discussion of public questions is not denied or interfered with. These are constitutional rights, dear to every patriotic heart and must be maintained inviolate.

“I can not ailow that an exPresident has lost citizenship; nor can I admit that a calm and temperate discussion of great public questions is undignified in uliV man." —Benjamin Harrison. Them's our sentiments, Ben, but if ever an ex-President played the demagogue, tried to falsify, mislead and show just how little, narrow-minded and partisan lie could be, you surely did in that little calamity howling, self-glorifving speech you gave the Republican state convention. As an ex-President, Benjamin Harrison should be honored and respected, as a demagogue and wilfully lying politician be should be despised.

The Chicago News calls the widespread financial disasters of the past year in the United •States “a wholesome lesson to the people.” Just what the ■ -wholesome lesson” consists in that the News is so delighted over, it does not make clear, 'out we are sure that neither it or any other tool of the money power desires the people to thoroughly learn the one and only “wholesome lesson” taught by our present terrible monetary disturbances. The only resson the people can learn from it to their advantage is the absolute necessity of depriving the banks of all control over the money supply. The constitution places the whole money matters under the control of congress to be regulated and managed in the interest of the whole people. If the people learn the lesson that every financial disaster that ever

befell us as a nation, came either from the neglect of congress to discharge its constitutional duty to the people in this matter or by delegating that power to banking concerns it will do well. The News don't want ihe people to learn that lesson, but learn it they must or be run through the hell of contraction every few years in the future as they have been in the past. Vote for no man or party that does not stand squarely pledged to the doctrine that congress must and shall resume its constitutional prerogative in this matter. That is the “wholesome lesson,” learn it now.

Why?

If the fear of free trade brought on the panic, why did the bank failures come before the suspension of manufacturing and commerce? If the fear of free trade brought on the present hard times, what was it that caused the hard times in 73, when everything was Republican ?ind

protection? If the fear of free trade has caused this panic, why did it not come immediately after the election of Cleveland? If the American people are so afraid of Democratic free trade, why did the silly fools vote Republican protectionists out and Democratic free traders in? If the fear of free trade is giving us our panic, what is giving England, Germany, Australia and other countries theirs? Why does this universal panic invade all countries regardless of their tariff laws? Has the whole would gone Democratic?

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interesting Bateh of \ews From the Capitol. * From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, May 11, ’94. Coxey has been very much in evidence this week. He, together with Browne and Jones, was contrary to public expectations convicted of having violated the law in their attempt to speak on the Capitol steps. An application for a new trial is pending and if that is refused, as is most likely, an attempt will be made to get the case before the higher courts for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the law under which these convictions were made. Coxey succeeded in getting a petition from his followers, and in making a few remarks himself, before the House committee on Labor, which is considering a resolution for the appointment of a joint Congressional committee to investigate the depression in all branches of industry; but his talk did not make a favorable impression on the members of the committee. Senator Allen tried inefrectually to get a resolution adopted by the Senate providing for an instigation of the arrests made on the Capitol grounds.

There has been great dissatisfaction in the camp of the “army of the commonweal.” The men did not take kindly to the idea of being put upon two scant meals a day while Coxey occupied a luxurious suite of rooms at a hotel and enjoyed the best the market afforded; consequently the week has been marked by numerous desertions. The men who remain will have to move their camp. The health authorities say they are in danger themselves and that they are endangering the health of the city. It is not probable that another camping place can be secured inside of the city limits. There is plenty of vacant ground, but Coxey will not be able to get it. He still says he intends to remain here until Congress either passes or refuses to pass his bills, but he will stay alone if his followers are not better taken care of.

Senator Merrill, father of the high protection tariff bill of 1861. has a pleasant way of saying things in a half joking manner that is always relished by his colleagues, whether they agree with him or not. A broad smile beamed on all the Senators faces when Mr. Morrill said: “The 400 amendments to the tariff bill show that after listening to republican speeches for six weeks the democratic Senators really learned something. It the tariff bill were laid aside for a month, and that month were devoted, to study by my friends on the other side of the chamber I think at the end of that time they would bring in a bill that would be perfectly acceptable to the republican side and which would pass the Senate by a unanimous vote.” The opposition of the labor organizations has had such an effect in the Senate that the ratification of the new Chinese treaty, which a few days ago was considered merely a matter of time, is now thought to he somewhat doubtful, although the chances are still in favor of rati I

fication. It was really a surprise to the administration which is using all the influence at its command to help it along, that it was no ratified this week. • • • The hearings began last week before the House committee, in favor of government ownership and control of all telegraph lines, have been continued this week. Whatever the effect of the able arguments made by the friends of the International Typographical Union, which has taken charge of this agitation, may have upon Congressmen who oppose the proposed charge it has already resulted in frightening the controlers of the gigantic monopoly known as the Western Union Telegraph company as they have never been frightened before.

• • • It seems that the House and the Senate will never agree upon a site for a new Government Printing Office, notwithstanding the danger which constantly surrounds the 3,000 people who work in the old building. Not long ago the Senate passed a bill providing for the purchase of ground adjoining the old building, but this was not satisfactory to the House, which this week passed, in defiance of the report in favor of a site, from the committee on Printing, a resolution instructing the committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to report a bill for the erection of a Printing Office on ground owned by the Government, in some of the parks. © • • Making a tariff bill to please all the members of a political party is like editing a paper to please all of the subscribers—an impossibility. The 409 amendments to the tariff bill presented to the Senate this week pleased the Senators who had been “kicking,” but they also produced a new act of democratic “kickers.” Upon the strength and extent to which the new “kickers” will go depends the fate of the bill.

Politicul Wisdom.

At the Republican senatorial convention, held at Goodland, last week, through the treachery of Jasper county delegates, Captain M. F. Chilcote was defeated. Four delegates from Carpenter and one from Union voted for the Benton-county man. Had Jasper county delegates voted as a unit for their man as the, Benton delegates did for theirs, Chilcote's majority would have been four. Benton county had no claim, -whatever, to this nomination. Why Mr. Chilcote should be treated this way by Carpenter when they have two

candidates on the county ticket, is a mystery to Republicans about here. Why these delegates preferred to turn down a tried and faithful officer of long standing in their party for a recent recruit and renegade from the Democratic party is very strange. There was some slick work done at that convention, somebody had been planning and looking ahead. Chilcote’s nomination at that convention would have interfered with another gentleman’s chances at another convention. OUR FIRM must have a place on the Republican legislative ticket this year, it makes no difference who is in the way they must be slaughtered if I have to sacrifice my hired help on the farm. This principle is all right as to Spitler, but it is pretty tough on Chilcote. The superior political wisdom of the Carpenter delegates and the hired man from Union has yet to be demonstrated. They may haye been five very wise men who could not act with their thirteen fools.

There has not been a time in twenty years but what Carpenter township has had from one to three candidates on the Republican ticket and Chilcote and his friends have always seen to

it that they got there, too. If Carpenter has ever failed to be on the Republican ticket it was because she already had a man or two in the court house. OUR FIRM and Carpenter, you can hardly expect the other cheek turned, for when forbearance ceases to be a virtue it is right, it is honorable to strike back. The very men who voted against Chilcote expect him, as usual to see to it that their home candidates get there, the very men who planned his defeat expect his vote and influence to help them into places where they can advance their own personal interest.

The Pilot will say now just what it said month§ ago, and that is, Chilcote has done more for his party and received less reward than any other Republican in the county. As between Republicans we have no choice. In the state senate Chilcote, like Phares, would stand with his party, but we like to see fair play.
