Some people are continually denouncing the People's party for demanding loans by the government to the people at 2 per cent. There is no such plank in the platform. No loans of the kind are mentioned in it, and the People’s party are asking nothing of the kind at the hands of the government that it is not already doing for the national banks. When Senator Irby does anything particularly mean the Republican papers class him as a Populist. At other times he is placed in the Democratic column. There are four Populist senators, and only four. viz.— Stewart. Peffer, Allen and Kyle. They stand without spot or blemish on their characters and there are but few others of which the same can be said. Senator Peffer's head s built on the same plan as his whiskers. He told the repealers that their bill would not bring prosperity as they claimed it would, and it didn't. He told them that an issue of bonds would not remedy the conditions and it hasn't. In fact all the Populist predictions are being fulfilled to the letter, and all the gold bug prophesies are proving false. Who are the cranks, any how?
Republican papers are presenting to their readers blank columns which they claim fully represents what the Democrats have done the year and a hall they have been in power. Now, if the Democrats have done nothing, as these blank column: represent, then, of course, the; have undone nothing, and th< country’ is just moving along under the plans and regulation, long ago adopted by the Repub licans. It is the Republican policy of government that has turned millions of honest, indus trious men into idle tramps, for "the Democrats have done nothing—their record is blank.” If the hum of the spindle is hushed; if the lire in the furnace has gone out. Republican protection is to biame. for it is still in full force, "tiii* Democrats havedom nothing.” If the United States treasury is short, Republicai appropriations and a Republican financial policy have dom the work, for "the Democrats have done nothing—their record is blank.” If doubt, distrust and business stagnation arbringing misery, sorrow and want to our once happy, thriving people, Republican principles and policies have failed, for “the Democrats have done nothing." In these trying times it ill becomes a party that has shaped the policy of the government for thirty years, to say to a party that has ruled fora year and six months, "you are to blame foi ill is trouble, for you have done nothing.”
The following blood and than der is from the Democratic Governor of Texas: "You all know that a few days ago federal troops were ordered into Illinois without being called for by the governor of that state. This is the first time that thi.s has been dune since 1860, and I regard it as a fatal blow at slate rights. It is awful to contemplate and is the precursor of dire calamity. , As soon as I returned home from my northern trip I wired to headquarters that I would not tolerate the calling out of feder al troops in this state until I had been first consulted. In times of trouble I mean to try the power of the civil authorities first, and until they fail the mil- [ itary power shall not be called lon in Texas. Whenever they | try it I'll be there to stop them, [and. bygatlins I'll stick to my I ground. I see before me now i some of the generals who will | be called upon to load the hosts, whose business it will be to defend the stars and stripes when the troubles come, not here, but I further north and east, and I have faith in your nerve and patriotism, but when the row comes, and if disintegration should come I am in favor of Tejftg standing on the constitu- j
tion of 1836 and going it alone as a republic again. lam for Texas first, the United States second and civilization at large next. The press dispatches tell us this morning that a distinguished jurist has signified his approval of that construction of the constitution which sees no harm in the burling of federal troops across states without regard to the wishes of the civil authorities. Let me tell you that this kind of constitutional construction is the digging of the mine which will hoist this government off its base, and though the order to invade Illinois was given by a Democratic president, who is the chief of the party to whicn I belong, my spirit revolts at it. My heart sickens at the thought of the consequences.” Had these remarks been indulged in by a Populist Governor. he would have been ridiculed and belittled by every old party paper in the country, but as it is nothing is said —no not even loyal Republicans have any criticism to offer.
The success of Mrs. Annie M. Beam, of McKeesport, Penny!* vania, in the treatment of diarrhoea in her children will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: ‘‘l spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took the diarrhoea very badly. I got some of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful. I think it cannot be excelled and cheerfully recommend it.” 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist.
industrial Equality.
I’. O’Neill Larkin, in August DonaliAe's. Monopoly in private hands has proved injurious politically, industrially, and ethically. The essential feature of despotism everywhere is power withou responsibility to the people whether it be found in the bureaucracy of the sovereign, as in Russia, or in the board of directors of the Standard Oil. gas, waler, or railrbad companies, uncontrolled by the public. Free competition in large undertakings has grown into the monopolistic trust, syndicate, or combine. This evolutionary development is logical, but it is also, equally logical and in the pi’oper order of tilings that the people alone should exercise exclusive contro'l in all matters relating to the general interest, in city, state, or nation. Every private monopoly must be transformed into a public one. Then the curses which How in such abundance from- private ownership will cease. The bitter waters of Marah will grow sweet. There is no middle course. The people must i assume sovereignty industrially las well as politically. With , Lincoln’s emancipation proclaI mation political equality was ' established throughout the land: I ! industrial equality, or equal 1 opportunity for all, is yet to be i secured. One is the complement iof the other. One cannot long j exist without the other. Such is the history of all past ages. -There is no affinity between plutocracy and democracy. We ■ must bring the republic into our ! industrial life. The people must trust themselves. Mr. J. C. Boswell, one of the : best known, and most respected ' citizens ,©f Brownwood, Texas, 'suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and tried many differ- , ent remedies ~ without benefit, until Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoee Remedy V ; was used; that relieved him at once.

FROM WASHINGTON.
An Interesting Batch of N'ew« From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, August 3, 1894. “You can guess as well as I; the deadlock may end in a day, a week, a month, or it may continue to the end of the Fiftythird Congress. No man is in a position to predict with any degree of certainty what will be done.” Such was the answer of a democratic member of the conference committee to your correspondent’s inquiry for information as to what was the probable outcome of the second conference on the tariff bill. Every day brings its fresh batch of rumors, which are mostly started for the purpose of trying to influence the result. This is particularly true of the publications in the local and New York dailies, which are w’idely read in Congress. The editors of the New York papers have become notorious by reason of their using the Washington dispatches to their papers to influence legislation, regardless of foundation for statements made therin, and it. is equally notorious that they sometimes succeed. There are lots of men in Congress who fear the New York papers more than they do their God. It is but an application of common sense to suppose that the democrats will soon reach an agreement that will be approved by House and Senate. Aside from the necessity. from a strictly political point of view, for such an agreement, the business interests of the country, regardless of politics, are demanding it in no uncertain tone, and if the demand be not complied with—so much the worse for the democratic party. ffi • • The presence of representatives of the ex-queen of Hawaii in Washington to ask that this government defer the recognition of the republic is regarded as a colossal exhibition of cheek. Secretary Gresham granted them an audience as individuals, but told them that he would not treat them as entitled to any official consideration. It is expected that Congress will settle the matter by the adoption of a resolution recognizing the republic. • • • Representative Boen, of Minn., has no love for the National banks and he doesn't care who knows it. He introduced a bill this week which makes it unlaw’ful to charter a National banker to provide additional currency to those already chartered. The bill also directs the Secretary of the Treasury to withdraw all deposits of public moneys from .National banks and to hereafter keep all public funds in the U. S. Treasury. S 9 • The U. S. strike commission, which met in Washington this week and decided to begin its investigation at Chicago on the 15ta inst., has been sharply criticized for the tone of the preamble and resolution it adopted and gave to the press. It is charged that the resolution indicates that the members of the commission expect to sit down in the government building at Chicago and have all the facts concerning the strikes brought in to them. Perhaps it ; will be best to wait and see what the commission does before beginning to criticise it. 1 Because it has asked for information, either in the shape of written or oral evidence, is not a certain indication that it intends to neglect its opportunity to hunt up evidence and facts which > for any cause may not be volunteered, • • • The Bailey bankruptcy bill, which was sometime ago passed by the House, has been favorably reported to the Senate, and Senator George, who is in charge of it, has given notice of his intention to call it up next
week. Monday, if possible. The bill has been so changed by the Senate Judiciary committee that it is really a misnomer to still call it the Bailey bill. • • • To meet the assertions as to the impossibility of framing a law against trusts that will stand i the Constitutional test Representative Hutcheson, of Texas, has introduced a joint resolution for the following amendment to the U. S. Constitution: “Trusts and monopolies dealing in agricultural products or other articles of prime necessity shall not exist in the United States, and Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” • • • At the fag end of - the session the “jobs” always begin to show up, as the confusion attending the closing days is favorable to their slipping through. The Mahone “job” for .the purchase of an unsuitable site for a new 7 Government Printing Office at an exhorbitant price is old enough to have died long ago, and has been exposed so often that everybody in Washington knows its character. Still, it succeeded in getting through the Senate this week as an amendment to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, and if the House will be as accommodating Gen. Mahone will soon be a goodly sum ahead of Uncle Sam. unless President Cleveland should exercise the veto power, which isn’t probable owing to the number and importance of the other appropriations carried by the bill.
A Household Treasure.
D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says that he always keeps Dr. King’s New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman Drug gist, Catskill, N. Y., says that Dr. King's New Discovery is undoubtedly the best Cough remedy; that he has used in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so iong tried and tested. Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer's Drug Store. Regular size 50 cts. and §I.OO. We have seen a number of watch chains ornamented with a pretty charm in the shape of a watch case opener, which obviates the use of a knife or fingernail to open the watch. They are sent free on request by the Keystone Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia, Pa. Your jeweler here may have one for you; if not, send to Philadelphia. The Keystone Watch Case! Company is the largest concern of its kind in the world. Its capacity is 2500 watch cases per day. It manufactures ©very description of case, but its great specialty is that most popular of all watch cases, the Jas. Boss gold filled. These are equal in beauty and wear to solid gold—while they cost only about onehalf as much. Boss and other Keystone cases are the only cases that have the famous Non-pull-out bow or ring, which I saves the watch from theft and | accident. The Keystone Company does not retail, but our local jewelers handle the cases and swear by the thief-pioof qualities of the ring. Congressman John Davis’s article in the Arena for August on “Money in Politics” will be widely read by men of all opinions. Money can be in politics in three ways. As direct or indirect corruption of individuals for immediate political results; by the debauching of public sentiment in the press, and, in a broader and truer sense, when money is a political question. This third view of the subject occupies Mr. Davis’s attention, in a review of the financial legislation of the century from the scientific point of view.
