Nothing If Not a Priest.

D”. McGlynn at the Auditorium in Chicago last Friday night said in part: I am nothing if not a priest. The ideal of ny earliest childhood was to dedicate myself to the service of the Most High, and I nave never had the slightest temtation to tear mysell away from the aspirations of my youth. Some of you may have come here out of mere curiosity 10 see a preacher on a p diiical p.dUuim. If the principles for all.ch this party is coni, tiding were the s; me as those o dit.arily confer ded for by the o'd p<> lineal parlies 1 would agree will anyone wuu Should critic.-e limb Iv. ao entirely uu< ol my p.a ■ ' But Uiis is n<>t a mere p nitieu party. It f-t’nd 1 -for soij. j 'Rog higher and nob'er than \ o lino contended lor by mere po.it tciaris loe reogiou wiiuln nie win tiui ado., me to sit stil when I see the great wroiq whi h are being done again ,i, < Jod’s people by others of ins ere ation. 1 was for many a year minis tering before the altar to Chrisi s poor and knew the ills of poverty with which they have to coatend. While I preached to the i of Christ’s mercy 1 was constantly aware of the poverty ana degradation by which they wen. surrounded on all sides.

I have been beseiged by women and children as well as men heggingrae not for bread or evn. money, Out for my assistance ic secure them work that th might earn their bread, ano have been compelled to turn them away empty handed of this right which they regarded as a boon, beeing this terrible con dibion of affairs on all sides I wa.-. compelled to ask myself. Cm this be God’s law that this advance incivi'ization which we call progress must be attended by so much poverty, suffering and degradation? Il is the law of civili Zution that the higher culture shall be at the expense of lhe lives and happiness of the poor, lhe needy, and the oppressed ? If such be tile truth, civilization is a oad and not a good t.iing. My religion would not permit me to believe that this was a law of God. No, the misery and the poverty, the pressing out of human lives, are not the result of God’s law. Know ing these things and feel ing the injustice and iniquity which had been propagated in the name of law. I was impelled in spite of myself to come forth from the pulpit to say to ray brother men who would not come to hear me from the pulpit: ‘Whatever else you do. have no quarrel with the verities revealed by true religion. 1 am glad to he here to-night in behalf of the important essentials of the People’s party platform. The previous and eloquent speaker has told you of the two old parties. Their differences seem to me to be the > differences between tweedledee and tweedledum. I am glad that I shall never have to ask the forgiveness of God for having had amrthiog to do except in the bumble way of a voter, with the aiisiakes which they have made. 1 SB here to demand in the name

of sweet religion, not charity, but justice for man. We are charged with trying to expunge that most important among the commandments: “Thou shall not steal.” We are not here to steal, but to put a stop to stealing. people's rights stolen.

1 am not here to cry out against the stealing of geese when men are stealing the great rights of the common people. The essential principles of the People's party and of the United labor party come nearer to those great principles enunciated in the preamble to our constitution than those enunciated by any other of the parties of the day. Those principles have been declared inalienable and they are because the gift of the Creator. We are essentially equal,because members of one family and children of one father. Take away the great law’ of the golden rule and how hollow human life is; the mere competition of the animal for the necessities which sustain life, a mere brute scramble; instead of the grand principle each man for his brother and God take us all. we have every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost.

Take away these fundamental laws of justice and what more is natural than the big fish shall eat up the little fish. It is only by assenting the brotherhood of man which rests upon the fatherhood of God that, the workingman. has any standing in this world. In behalf of the toiler and the weak and the oppressed 1 am here to assert these fundamental truths which are based on revealed religion. It is only a century after the I beginning of o»ir country ini which tnese great principles; were enunciated that we find; ourselves breaking the shackles of 4,009,GA) chattel slaves. It I was a great honor and credit to us that we did break the chains [ ofthese-slavessalthough we were! tong in doing it. But there is I another form of slavery which J is more galling than the bungling! ownership of the human being! as a chattel. It is industrial i slavery. that kind of slavery i Which holds the Lolling masses; down to a mere pittance which j will barely keep nody and so ;l I together. "What can we met n 1 by the pursuit of happine • 1 which is guaranteed by our co . stitution if it does not mean tl • freedom to labor, to seek tl e higher life which labor shou I make possible? But as long ; we are composed of bodies : - well as souls, as long as we net !

elbow room in this world, it foi ; lows that we must have equ.l to those natural boons, the ai . the sunlight.in a word, the nat ral fountains which God creab as iris storehouse of nature for the human race. The People’s party in its pla form declares against the givii away of these natural resourc .• to any wan unless he makes ; r adequate return for the priv leges he enjoys. This is the do •- trine of the single tax as enunc. aled by that courageous mt n Henry George Society,civil government, the power to direct, Io build up the power of law to protect the rights and liberties of all come, from God. The immediate deduction from these principles is that all law must be from, of, and by the people for the good of the people, wl.o are God's creatures.

Our Country’s Need.

Prof. Frank Parsons, the author of “Our Country’s Need, or the Development of a Scientific Industrialism.” is well known to students of law and lawyers in the East as a very successful counsel lor-at-law and lecturer on law and jurisprudence in the Boston university. But he is one of the fine spirits ,of our time who burn with a zeal for the cause of humanity,and this book will introduce to Western readers not a crabbed,dried-up pragiinatical maker of legal brief, but a keen, forceful thinker, a poet, and a man who dares to unmask the respectable mummeries of our commercial life. In this | work he deals with effective logic and knowledge of every phase of the subject, with the two momentous defects of the reigning political economy. One is, it busies itself with formulating the laws of industry as they are, instead of seeking to discover, as a science and philcsphy should, the laws of what they ought to be in conformity with the physical and unalter-

able laws of nature. The second defect pf the old and reigning political economy is, it is based on the total misconception of values and of the purposes of industrial institutions. The author has attempted in this -work to outline the essential and fundamental principles of a new political economy. It contains in a handy compass a mass of useful informatien for all readers who are studying our social problems —as all men are to-day as never before in all our social history. “Our Country’s Need” is published by the Arena Publishing Company, of Boston, but -we can supply it to our readers direct for study anJ campaign work at 25 cents a copy.

A Whopper.

The following is from the Chicago Inter Ocean: Rensselaer, Ind., Oct. 16. Special Telegram.— The largest and most enthusiastic concourse of people yet assembled in this campaign in Jasper county gathered in this city to-day to hear Gen. Thomas H. Nelson, of Terre Haute, speak on the Republican issues. By noon there were fully 5,000 visitors in town. Is there any excuse for such false statements as the above ? How can we expect the reading public to have any conlidence in our newspapers when men will report such uncalled for falsehoods. On the balloon ascension day —October 16—there were j present not to exceed 300 or 400 people, besides our own town I folks, with the town all out and i right in the middle of the street [it made a very respectable api pearance, but to say 5,009 visitors came to Rensselaer to hear [Gen. Thos. H. Nelson, is a i “whopper” poorly told. The i party that sent that dispatch,for [ought we know, is the same one who says Squire Spriggs is the [first man on the Iriquois ditch -petition, and who also says our ’ county levies in '93 were 44 cents and in '94, 43 cents.

The People’s Party Campaign Song.

The following is sent to us from Remington. It is the effusion of an Irish poet. We print it by request. Air. “Wearing of the Green." We are :i band of working men, * Resolved to serve no more, Republican or Democrat. As we have done before. 1 o • while we fought, and tiled for them. And they got all 1 lie gain, They called us honest working men. They say we’re now insane. * Chorus. Come then, brothers, will you stand With the People’s Party band. And give up the two old parties Thai have made us long their slaves. And beneath our starry banner, boys, The emblem of the free, We’ll make every man a brother, boys, As well as you and me. Sin e wo started for ourselves, This People* Party strong, We have resolved the ballot box Shall settle till our wrong. Our country's constitution. And her laws we will defend. And woe to the slave or knave. Who dares our flag offend. Since we left they call us reds. Anarchists and such names; They taunt us too with foreign Hags; And all such cowardly games. But never mind, my' Siamese twins. Your union won't last long, For soon ’twill burst up in ti row, Then we will right our wrong. There is no use in striking, boys And boycotting won't do. For Cleveland’s troops are at their back, And I lie militia too. But the ballot is our wetipon. boys, To use election day, Where every man is equal In the light of freedoms ray. Our party is an honest one; It’s young, but growing strong. And when its principles are known, It will surely right our wrong. To every honest working man, We do extend a hand Of universal brotherhood. Throughout this glorious land.

Political Macistrom at Marlboro.

Goodland Herald. Over in the northern part of Jasper county there is a railroad station named Marlboro. It consists of a depot, postoffice, general store and a few houses. All the country surrounding is owned by a prominent citizen of Rensselaer, a man who is esteemed by all who know him, and whose -heart is filled with charity and Republicanism. He is a man of wealth and brains, but never attempted anything in

the way of political oratory. He recently conceived the idea of going to Marlboro and giving the people the benefit of his abilities in*that line. Satisfied that he would deliver an oration that would paralyze the people of Rensselaer, who had* known him so long yet never dreamed of his powers as an orator, he went to the railroad agent in his town and said: “Every man, woman and child that wants to go to Marlboro when I speak there must be passed free; send the bill to me when it is over.” Weil, the day arrived, and about one hundred and fifty citizens of Rensselaer, lured by the liberal excursion rates and a curiosity to hear their fellow citizen, went to Marlboro. The little station was alive to the honors thrust upon it, and the country round about w 7 as well represented, so that when the speaker was escorted to the stand by two prominent Rensselaer attorneys, he faced a good-sized audience. Drawing up his magnificent proportions—s feet 5 inches horizontally and 6 feet north and south by four feet east and west, he launched out: “Fellow Citizens: I consider it the duty of every man in this country to beat the d—n old democratic party. Two years ago you set around like a lot of blear-eyed toads on a chunk and let the democracy whip hell out of you. Fellow citizens, lam a Republican and believe in—er—er—oh, shoot!—(brightening up) th£ democrats have got things in such a cussed bad shape that it ain’t necessary for a man to explain why he is a republican.” That ended the speech and the rally at Marlboro. But the roar of admiration that marked its close made every tussick in the Kankakee bottoms quiver with approval. If the democratic rooster at Marlboro has a single pin feather after Nov. 6th, oratory is lost upon its inhabitants.

Milk Church Conference.

The services at the McCoy milk church Saturday were well attended. Crowds came in early —the first arrival being the Marlboro class on the milk train. By noon the town was alive with people, business houses were closed and everybody repaired to the grand stand in the court house yard where an address of welcome and a hearty invitation to dinner was given by Deacon McCoy. Several beautiful songs were sung by the milk church choir—songs composed for the special occasion. The students from St. Joseph's Catholic college headed by their excellent band and bearing aloft the stars and stripes, at 12 sharp, came march ing in to the grand stand, these were followed by the Simoroon club, lead by Yeoman’s martial band, and bearing over their stately forms the democratic red, white and blue parasols, kept at Fendig’s drug store to be used only on extraordinary occasions and Democratic jolifications.

After music and address and music again the feed was thrown into the troughs, and the hungry multitude without ceremony and without regard to table manners, devoured every thing in sight. This large and enthusiastic milk church gathering Saturday, more than anything ever before gotten up by Mr. McCoy shows in what esteem this gentleman is held by the people of Rensselaer and vicinity. No other man in the country, by his own effort, could have succeeded in bringing out such a crowd as Mr. McCoy had here Saturday. Many people in many things may not agree with “Me,” but everybody is his friend and will do much to please him. Rev. Paradis, pastor of the Presbyterian church, now occupies the R. S. Dwigginsproperty across the river.

Two Lives Saved

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City, 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in tw’o -weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results, of which these are samples, that prove the wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store.

A Joint Debate.

Last Wednesday evening was the occassion of a joint debate between our fellow townsmen, A. McCoy and David Shields, Mr. McCoy representing the Republictn party and Mr. Shields the Democracy. The affair took place in Simon Thompson’s large hay barn at Parr. Mr. McCoy is a very enthusiastic politician and chartered three passenger coaches and paid the expenses of all who wished to take advantage of a free excursion. “Mac” had duly advertised it and when train time came, a large crowd had collected. At about 3 o’clock the procession started for the depot, headed by “Mac,” the Rensselaer band and a Martial band. The crowd at the speaking was estimated at from 500 to 800 people, 250 being from Rensselaer. While waiting for the speaking, the crowd was entertained by music and songs. Supper was served by “Mac,” on the grounds. At 7 o’clock the crowd repaired to the hay barn and the speakers were introduced by J. F. Warren. Each was allowed five minutes at a time for debate. One feature of the evening was » comic campaign song by John Alter. The debate lasted for about two hours. The excursion was brought home by the night train and every one seemed to think that they had been repaid for going. James Boyd, of Lafayette, is working in the Pilot office.
