There are no §5,000 salaries paid Populist writers. In the ease of the preseht congress, it is hot silence, but tdlk, that is golden; Wnt hot let the banks issue the poistage stamps and manage the public schools? Get men to using their brains instead bf their lungs and they become Populists. We presume Breckenridge is lecturing upon the horrible example of his own beastly life; TiiH grave clothes of Jackson and Jefferson hang mighty loose on Grover Cleveland democracy. It is pretty hard to prophesy more than an hour in advance what the national circus will do next. The state treasurer of South Dako';. lias joined the landslide—slid out with §350,000 of the state funds. The real anarchist is the person who has no faith in anything but the almighty dollar.—Common Sense. The alleged quarrel between Wall street and Carlisle is a farce—a part of the conspiracy to fool the people. Anyway, President Cleveland can depend upon the republican congress to do his and the bankers’ bidding. The last special session of congress demonetized silver—and the next will be called to destroy the greenbacks. Grover is firmly determined to call a special session of the republican congress. Somebody please sing ‘‘Com- . ra des." Oi k national constitution is broad enough, but the men who pass upon the “unconstitutionality" of laws are razor backs. It will cause a pretty hard s'retch of the ties that bind the nation to udopt the new “elas icity" scheme of the bankes. Is it any more ••un-American" to collect an income tax than it is to increase 1 lie tax of a farmer for improv ’ng his farm?

G :<iVEB wore out the patr innge elul>. and is now using tin threat-of-n-extra-session club to scare congress into doing the bidding of Wall streetThe leaders of the conspiracy to deft roy the greenbacks should be im- ) risoned. They are conspiring against 1.11 commerce and the national government. '1 he Republican leaders arc just intelligent enough to lead the country into trouble, and .he democratic lead ers are not intelligent enough to lead d out. California is determined to bring the Southern Pacific railway to lime. The state will build a j urallel line through the state from north to south. N >w that the bankers have everytn ng their own way. they are proposing everyone a different experimental ec rency scheme, all wilder than al 1 hers. ■ Did you ever see a man who didn’t want more money for Well what do you suppose causes men to vote lor parties w.io are opposed to I more money? A president who makes a million dollars in one term at a salary of fifty thousand dollars a year is neither a servant of thi* common people nor an : honest man. Congress is only playing with the people. They Lal no intention of passing the Carlisle currency M-heme. They have a worse one they will pass just as s .on as the people gel tired of their play and s >p watching them. F Tins country will 1 < h"'.d nett t uminer the disgraceful spectace of a special session of congress for t ■? sole purpose of destroying the only patriotic money in the country —the money that saved the Union in a time of peril. Don’t be a “scab’’ at the ballot box] Printers, farmers, blacksmiths,miners, railway iren. moulders, carpenters, tailors, cigarmakers and all other trades should vote the union ticket, whose platform inswes equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Now what will the republican machine do? Gov. Mclntyre, the republican successor of Gov. Waite, of Colorado says: ••! indorse all my honored predecessor has said concerning the wiping out of unjust trust deed aud attachment laws, and I stand with j I iin cn the gambling question.”

DIPLOMATS WHO CAN NOT LIVE ON $17,500 A YEAR. Bayard, Kostia, Runyon, MacVeagh and Breckenridge Th r. a ten to Resign Cnlesa Their Salaries Are Increased — What Will the Counts Do? Mr. Bayard, embassabor to the court of St. James, is heading a strike of embassadors. They receive salaries of 817,500 each per year—but they claim that it is impossible to maintain their dignity on this beggarly stipend and think that congress should increase their salaries to at least 850,000 each per year. They threaten to resign and leave American dignity floundering in the m ud. They have been living riotously at their own expense, and now they want the government to pay the bills. Mr. Bayard has organized the embassadors and held conferences, mid presented their demands to congress. 1 lie whole plea is from asocial standpoint, an effort to sustain a royal dignity in the presence of royalty. We are inclined to refer to these princely strikers, in words such as plutocratic papers have used toward striking American workmen, just to see how such words sound when the other fellow’s ox is gored.

Note* of th© Einbaasadors’ Strike. The embassadors be d—d. The salaries paid embassadors are already too large. There Is too much dignity in this country rather than too little. The embassadors might be more amenable to the hard times if they had to earn their salaries. The time is approaching when the people will find it necessary to abolish the whole embassadorial farce. If a rifle diet is good for strikers, why not give the striking embassadors a dose or two? t all out the army, the embassadors are on strike. Bread and water is good enough for embassadors. Now that the embassadors are on a strike it is in order for the court to issue an injunction to stop the conspiracy to upset American dignity. Lock up those embassadors that are • lot satisfied with their wages of 817,•>oo a year. Wonder if they will save their money • o buy gun& V e must get rid of salary gamblers. There seems to be but one remedy a change of ownership of government, and the establishment of an American government at home, without asking favors from any foreign power on earth. We need an American common people’s government. The dignity of labor at home is just is importantas the prating of plutoc‘ racy in lhe'eourt of St. James. The old New England system of imprisonment for extravagance would be better than the present spoils system. The best thing to do with an embassador who is stuck up, is to throw him in a sewer. Embassadors who are striving for an increase of wages should be firmly hit in lhe neck with a wet elm club that other spoils hunters might take warning. Probably the simplest method of dealing with professional office hunters would be to put a bull dog on guard at every door. It would be a relief to the public mind if a few agitators for foreign dignity were taken out and carefully buried from human gaze forever. A dollar a day is enough for an embassador. Dictator Bayard should be imprisoned for conspiracy. Start a soup house for the embassadors. Put 'em on a rock pile with ball and chain. Try them for interfering with foreign commerce. They could get board in any of the capitals of Europe at 85 a week. Let them drink cheaper whisky. Let them wear overalls and save their S mday cl »tlies. There is no sense in an embassador living in oriental magnificence, while 4.000,(MH) of the people he represents are homeless ami hungry. There are plenty of unemployed-men ready to take their places. This is no time to strike. There is an overproduction of embassadors. Lack of, confidence is what is the matter. Put a tariff on foreign embassadors to proi.ee. American diplomats. Let them go into the banking business on the Baltimore plan. A party ’hat gained neifrly half a million votes in an off year—according j to the official returns of the recent election-will certainly not fail to elect the next President.—St Louis Globe Democrat. From this it appears that the Globe concedes the election of a President to the Populists in 18M.
