When our old parts’- conventions. in making their platforms, write: “We point with pride to - ’ —they stop and wonder what the dickens they are going to point to. Cleveland is said to have declared that the money power has the country by the leg. Gues- Grover caught it by the other leg. and gave Uncle Samuel a tumble. John Sherman makes a tine argument against the trusts, but he forgets that the trust he created. the money trust, is the greatest of them all. |and the most ruinous to the people.

Remember that genuine reform involves a radical change of systems. Mere changes of men and swapping of officeholders do not reach the spot. The tiling is to make bad legislation impossible and desirable legislation easily to be obtained. The principle of the referendum is a condition precedent to secure real democratic government, when no law can get on the-statute book without the knowledge and consent of a popular majority.

The features of current polili cal events are the republican efforts to get back on a silver platform and hedge on high protection as expounded by McKinley. Anything to win is the motto of this discredited party. Lt is decidedly late in the day for it to pretend to be a friend of silver. Its record on the subject was briefly summarized in these columns last week. Othello said to Desdemona before he strangled her: “I kissed ihoe before I killed thee.” This is the best the Republicans can urge. They did indeed kiss the white metal before they murdered it. But it has always been regarded as an aggravation of Judas’ great crime that his betrayal of the Savior was preceded by a treacherous kiss. — Ex.

Turov.’ down the barriers against opportunity by freeing the land from speculators, and if one company will not furnish cheap coal to the consumer and high wages to the miner, another company will be glad to get the chance, ami it lias every inducement to do so. And wages must rise, and with them the social condition from its present degraded level. What can we say of avarice that will take advantage of another man's misfortune regardless of consequences? This, too, is another curse of our creation, and like the coal itself, lies deep and dark beneath the surface. It is well known that large stocks were on hand at the Lake Superior ports, principally controlled by operators in the Ohio Held. This | coal rose until it fetched fancy ; prices, and the statement from a j reputable Western contempor- ; ary is that those who field it and ! are charged with conspiring to prolong tne strike, have made a I clean £300,00P.

Tile Baiiim ,/n.ouu. one of the •nJest ami most conservative of ;he democratic paper*, starts pts leading editorial of Jane 22, with tiiis remarkable admission: ■‘There can be no question that, with -a. few notable exceptions, the c’-er-’ts, i'-s!: ?d of thebe*t, a.c m camr'/l of the crganizat'.oL'. and m■luagomeni of both of our great parties." The whole article is a powerful argument showing the necessity of a complete reorganization and realignment of parties. If the Sun keeps on it will become a Populist paper without knowing it. It represents the state where for years Senator Gorman has been the democratic boss, and the disgust caused by his venality and subserviency to the moneyed influences has become so general that decent democrats of Maryland see the neces- j sity of turning him down. The : mere shifting of leaders, how I

ever, will not reach the spot. Putting out one boss and allowing another to grasp the reins will simply be a change of cars with no improvement in the engineer. The only hope for honest men in the old parties is to follow the plan of the militia captain who. not knowing the proper order to make his trodps “file right", ordered them to break ranks and fall in on the other side of the fence./ A new party in this country is an absolute necessity for its salvation. Most of the old leaders will have to be knocked in the head or turned out to grass, and all peo pie sincerely seeking reform must combine together under new standards in demand of bet ter methods.

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL, the founder of the Christian church, was a political as well as a religious reformer. Here is an extract from one of his speeches: The issue is not between gold aud legal tenders, but whether our currency shall consist of all bank circulation, doled out to the people by a combination of corporations at exhorbitant rates of interest, or of legal tenders, issued directly to the peo in the payment of debts and current expenditures of the government. The issue admits of i compromise; for upon the rest;, depends the question wheiMwe are to have a government the people, or a money oli; chy. It is one of the strop; ■, convictions of my life that u ; . its decisions are suspended fate of our civilization and th - destiny of our country.—W<-»l Texas Sentinel.

Bro. Henry Buck, Ramsey township, Fayette county, Hl., is an original thinker, and gives us the following philosophical conclusions: “If any nation oppresses labor, down goes that nation. If any nation oppresses the farmers, down goes that nation. If any nation learns to do more for the people of other nations than for its own people, down goes that nation. Eighteen years ago I bought my farm in Ramsey, Fayette county, 111. ' It was all woods then but about live acres. Now it is all cleared up, and has a large new barn and new frame house with a good oichard and good fences; and to-day I could not sell it for what it cost me in the woods. Do our democratic and Republican farmers ever think of these things? The price of lands is regulated by the price of what they produce. Restore former prices to farm products, and you at once restore corresponding values to land.

Evi:mm- J' plies daily in an ev>w m .. •• atio that the principle-'- eople’s party wili gurti : .dency inside of thre- ’a Wednesday of las'- we. uerican Railway i/:.-- .. :heir national meeting m Chicago, resolved to

support People's party in ar body, An effort i* making to unite al! the farmers' organizations with the American Rail- • way union for the same purpose. i A meeting is already called to Ahat end. The Labor Union rt I Hammond met last Sunday to discuss the uniting with the Populists. We have not learned the result, but doubt not it will be accomplished. It is difficult to learn news of this kind, and i it takes Argus eyed care to glean ' it, because of the suppression of ! all such news by the Associated Press. Yet it will leak out. Many of the most eminent men • of the nation are joining us or at least modifying their opinions in harmony with our principles. The masses, also, are flocking to us. A Republican, Wednesday, in conversation with the writer, said he favored the free coinage of silver at a ratio of not above 16 to 1, and thought 151 to 1 ample to maintain parity before the world provided our own govern-1

ment officers would not discriminate against silver. The lines are loosening. It now behooves us to stand firm. Compromises will be asked of us, but compromise is wrong. If we are not right we are wrong. If we are right, right will prevail. Stand firm for the right.—Rossville Journal.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An IntcreMtlng Batch of Sews From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, July 6, 1894. No excitement accompanied or has followed the passing of the tariff bill by the Senate and its going back to the House and being referred to the Ways and Means committee. There were several reasons to account for this indifference both in and out of Congress. Firstly, as the person would 'say, there is probably not a man in Congress, or anywhere else for that matter, to whom the tariff bill as passed by the Senate is entirely satisfactor/. Secondly, there could not ■ found with the most dilige: -arch a man who believes th- ■ >o bill -will emerge from t - i Terence committee in anylike its present shape. 7 e is a wide difference in ion as to how long the bill ■ il remain in the hands of the ■ iference committee, some bei wing that not over ten days will be required and others adding thereto until some go as far as to say that six weeks will be consumed. Much will depend upon whether the conference deals with the Senate amendments singly or in bulk.

The sugar trust got out of the Senate very easy; when the state of public sentiment is considered. It loses the money that it might have made by bringing in free raw sugar until the first of next January, by reason of the adoption of Senator Hill’s amendment making the sugar schedule go into effect as soon as the tariff bill becomes a law, but by a majority of one vote it succeeded in getting the extra duty upon refined sugar kept in the b i 11. ASe nat or,whous ual 1 y knows a. hawk from a handsaw, speakin.spf.llle abuse which has been , Mfowered upon, Senator Quay for deserting his party and supporting the sugar trust, said: “Quay is, being made a scapegoat of, probably with his consent, but I happen to know that there are other republican Senators who would have voted to retain the sugar trust duty had their votes been necessary. One majority was as good as a dozen would have been.”

The sugar schedule as it now stands will never be accepted by the House, unless a considerable number of Representatives vote against their opinions and upset their records. The argument that the revenue is needed by the government may possibly result in the acceptance of the duty on raw sugar, notwithstanding the overwhelming sentiment in the House in favor of free sugar, but it is no believed that any argument can oe advanced that will bring about the acceptance of the duty on refined sugar, which is not intended to bring in revenue but to shut out foreign refined sugar and leave the sugar trust in control of the market.

The action of the Senate in striking out just before the tariff bill -was passed the amendment to the income tax paragraph, exempting the salary of the President of the United States from payment of that tax, which Senator Hill had sarcastically offered and the Senate had seriously adopted while the bill was beihg considered in comihittee of the whole, meets with general approval and removes one obstadle to an agreement between the House and Senate. No good reason exists for ex-

empting the President’s or any other official’s salary.

Resolutions /and bills have been introduced in both House and Senate concerning the great railroad strikes and there is much talk concerning them and the action of the administration in ordering that U. S. troops be used if necessary, either to compel the prompt forwarding of the mails or to carry out the orders of U. S. Courts, and officials, but this outlook is not favorable to Congressional action. It will be the same old story; while the strike is in progress Congress is interested; when the strike is over Congress will forget all about it as quick as possible.

The Grand Jury has indicted two stockbrokers and two newspaper men for having refused to answer questions asked by the Senate investigating committee, and they have given bail for their appearance for trial when wanted, but up to this writing no indictment has been found against Messrs Havemeyer and Searle, the members of the sugar trust who were certified to the Grand Jury for the same offence. The investigating committee held a meeting this week, but reached no conclusion as to when its report, or reports, should be made. Senator Gray, chairman of the committee, and his democratic colleague, Senator Lindsay, are blamed for the delay, as it is customary for the chairman of a committee to prepare and submit a report before members feel at liberty to submit minority reports, and Mr. Gray has not yet done so.

There is scarcely a quorum in either House or Senate and is not likely to be before next week. There was a grand rush to get out of town for the rest of the week as soon as the Senate passed the tariff bill. The absence of a quorum will not interfere with the business of either House for a few days.

Stray Thoughts.

Donahoe's Magazine for July. Castles in the air are seldom furnished. You are undoubtedly . a super ior man; but do you practice it? Wisdom, my dear youth, is that intelligence which you possessed before you began to learn. If good advice were legal tender it would not be given so freely. Be not afraid to be a leader, but care not whether there *be others in the army. If a bull may be permitted: There are many beautiful things in life that we never see until, t hey are out of sight. If some people were wiser other people wouldn't make so good a living. Some philanthropists take more pride in lifting a man from the gutter than in helping him (.cross it.
