A number of laboring men endeavor to get within speaking distance of the capital and they are set upon and clubbed into insensibility. Why this difference between the king of trusts and the son of toil? Why this, the one has boodle in his pocket and the other has none.

Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, says;' “If the President's, financial policy becomes the policy of the party, I see no reason for the continued existence of the party, because the Republicans, having followed that policy, are better prepared than we to support it. If, on the other hand, the party repudiates Mr. Cleveland’s financial policy and renews its devotion to the common people, it may become an effective instrument in the securing of good government.’’

Brother Marshall still writhes under the castigation given his party by Mrs. Lease. Now, dear brother, if you are dissatisfied with your first bout with- the Kansas cyclone and wish to try another, just stop your howling and say so, for “Mary Yellen'’ is ready and we will allow you to trot out John Sherman, Billy Owen or your own precious self. We have faith in Mary and Populist principles, and want to have them pounded by your strongest man before the largest audience ever assembled in Jasper county. Now, who is afraid? We dare you to the contest.

Republican senators and Representatives are beginning to see that the grist which is is being ground up in the senate compromise mill is a good enough Republican measure, jAs for the income tax, neither ' party is anxious to offend the | Populists by voting it down. The problem with the Republicans now is, how to yield their support to the Democratic tariff bill of the Senate, without letting the House know that they regard it as a pretty good Republican measure. Too eager a surrender by the Republicans might I

endanger it in the House. Between the fears of the Republicans that the defeat of the present measure might result in the passage of a Democratic tariff bill, and the fears of the Democrats that they will lose the fall elections unless they pass some kind of a tariff bill immediately, the present prospect is favorable to a general love-feast and the passage of the Republican-Dem-ocratic tariff bill by the united votes of both parties.—Cincinnati Enquirer.

The chapel of DePauw University was the scene of a disgraceful class fight one morning last week. The seniors had prepared themselves with caps and gowns to be worn'at commencement. The juniors somehow got hold of these aud wore them to chapel, so, over this, the usual morning devotion was turned into a shameful class fight. Twenty-five years ago no such barbarous conduct as this was ever known at this institution. Young men then attended college for the purpose of gaining an education, at this institution, then, a majority of them boarded themselves. They were not a set of pops and dudes, supported by rich daddies, and sent to school to “skin cats” and play foot ball, but they were, most of them, common boys, from the ranks of the common people. There is surely something wrong in the management of our high schools where such a spirit of rowdyism is developed, as has so frequently of late years shown itself in so many of our colleges.

The leading millionaires of Chicago are represented as recent converts to the bi-metallic cause. They are represented as saying, that the appreciation of gold and scarcity of money have been the cause of falling prices, stagnation of business, and the world-wide distress that have prevailed for the past twenty years, and that the war on silver by the United States and European countries caused it all, and that the restoration of silver to its former position as a money metal, is the corrective measure. This change of front is somewhat surprising when it is remembered that some of these parties, according to Senator Morgan’s published statement, were instrumental in securing the nomination of both Harrison and Cleveland because of their anti-silver sentiments. The bankruptcy of Egypt, Guatemala and other countries, and the business depression and miseries of the people, have caused them to call a halt. No one believes for a moment that they have changed their views on money matters or the feasibility of growing rich by contracting the money supply. No, it is no new light that they have received on the money question, nor is it a quickening of their conscience, but the fear of a bloody revolution by an exasperated people that causes them to hesitate about further pushing their devilish schemes.
