The gold bugs of Wall Street are

The operatives of the Eagle aud

man of the People’s Party executive
committee, was a wise choice, lie is
a good and successful farmer .possesses
an unblemished character and repuia
tion and is highly esteemed aud liked
by those who know him. The entire
executive conmiittee has also been
made up of good and capable men and
the people's cause is now ou the high
road to victory.
Practically we are living under the
single gold standard and have been for
some years. The Carlisles and Cleve¬
lands aud their allies have just what
they demand and what they say is ah
solutely essential to natinual pmsperi
tv. Now somebody answer this ques¬
tion. Could there be anv worse husi
ness, financial or industrial condition
than those now existing ? And if this
is w hat the cold standard does for a
country how is it possible forauvothei
standard to do worse ? In other words
if the gold basis can produce prosperity
w by does it not do it ?—Nonconformist.
PRINCIPLE ABOVE PARTY.
The Democratic party has tried in
every conceivable manner to down the
People’s Party and wipe it out of ex
istence, but all their efforts have been
fruitless and only adding more nails to
their own coffin, and to-day where do
we find the Democratic party ? Why
splii all to pieces and the timbers of its
own household scattered to the four
winds. To-day we find Crisp and Smith
debating on the great and paramount
issue of the day, the money question,
One favoring the single gold standatd,
whereby the people may he made sub
servient to the will of the money pow
ci and become industrial slaves, while
the other is championing the cause of
ll(*f* silver,wtlirh niRfttlS prosperity the
it* toiling masses. Y t this i, no a ,
if the National Democratic party fails
to endorse the free coinage of silvei,
then .Mr. Uii-p will go with goldbugs
aud the principles be is now advocat¬
ing on the slump counts for nothing.
And with Mr. Smith it is vice vetsu.
Then isn’t it plain to the people that
principle is set arise by the leaders of
the Democratic party and their only
objects being to secure office and
betray a principle whereby rest the
rise or fall of this Republic ? Let the
rank and file of the people of this
country take a calm and dispassionate
view of the situation, and decide the
question for themselves upon the issue
whereby test the destiny of the people.
CUBA’S CAUSE RECOGNIZED.
The House on Monday of this week,
adopted the conference report on the
Cuban resolutions by a vote of 244 to
27. Tin; report on the Cuban resolu¬
tions bad beeu debated Friday and
Saturday aud the vote Monday was
taken immediately after the reading of
the journal. Eighteen Republicans
and nine Democrats voted against the
report. After the most determined
opposition of those opposed to the
recognition of the insurgents in the
senate and house, there were but ten
more votes against the report than
against the original resolutions. The
former vote was 2li2 to 17. By this
action ou Monday, the House agreed
to the senate resolutions and disposes
of the (Julian question for the present,
Those resolutions were as follows*
“Resolved, That in the opinion of
con « re “*«' ‘ u "‘ li,io1 ' «f public war ex
>*'* between the. government of Spain
IU1<I _ " ,c government proclaimed and
ti.ne maintainetl by force of

the United Mates of A me ica should
maintain it strict neutrality between
the contending powers, according to
each all the rights of belligerents in
the ports and territory of the United
States.
"Resolved further, That the friendly
offices of the United States should he
offered by the president to the Spanish
government for the recognition of the
independence of Cuba.”
The formal recognition of the Cubans
still rests with the president, and it, is
ttow a mallet of speculation whether
lie will npptovc the bill.
Black and Turner, of Georgia, votetl
against the icsolutiou. Thus it would
seem that they favor the mighty ovet
Political parties are organizations of
men fat the advancement of certain
i leas o economies. Every man unit*s
himself with that parly which express¬
es, or comes nearest to expressing, his
views on public questions. Therefore,
every man should have a reason for
his political faith; and should be able
to state that reason. But can the aver¬
age old-party mail do it? I've always
been a democrat” is no reason: and
“my father was a republican, aud for
that reasou I am" is an insult to the i
intelligence of a thiukiugjtnau. Men
forget that the patties lepreseut l mu_
ciples; iu tact iu their love and ze: 'l
for party, principles are lost sight of
entirely. A complete change of prtti- ‘
ciples, under the old party name, would j
suit many, simply because it was en¬
dorsed by the party. They seldom
stop to think of the consequences to
themselves. But. he it said to the
credit of the American voter, this
“yaller dog” idea is dyiug and men are
beginning to look for principles, re¬
gardless of party. It is to such intelli¬
gent men as these that the People's
party must look for support, for it is a
uew organization. Yes, a new organi¬
zation, but the ideas it embraces have
been tested an I proved. This party
can't account for its whereabouts

“GDVERNME YT CONTROL.”
News, Visalia. Calif,
There is sonic disposition on tin;
part of some leading Populism |i<,
the demand for government
ownersnip of public utilities to "gov
eminent control. Such changi.
would he retrogressive and harmful
It would evidently be done for tin
purpose of catchitig votes, wh : »h if
successful would weaken the paity hj
the introduction of members win* art
in sympathy with the reforms
inauded by the People’s party and the
present times.
We have experienced ‘ government
control” of monopolies in our ami¬
trust laws and yet trusts, combines atni
aggregated wealth nourish as neve,
heh re.
To talk of g-.vet meat control with
private ownership wln-ie aggregate I
wealth is interested is simply rut and
could he done only ior the purpose of
deception. The old political parties
and their scheming politicians can and
would readily endorse ••government
control” of public utilities.
No intelligent Populist will ever con
sent to such a backward step which,
taken, would mean a surrender to cap
ilalism.
THE BANK TYRANTS.
The New York’jCommercial Adver¬
tiser says:
Every bank of the clearing bouse associa¬
tion has become a confer of activity and
will spread t he.sound-money gospel fax aud
wide.
We have known for a long time that
the banks of the United States had be¬
come political clubs. The country has
long felt the effects of this organization
of sharpers, misers and usurers; hut it
lias been denied that the national banks
are a political league, plotting against
the rights and the welfare of the
American people. The mask is at hist
thrown off, ami every president, di
rertor, cashier, or other employe of a
bank must now be known as a political
boss, whose !>usintss a it is to browbeat,
to bankrupt and ruin the political oppo¬
nents of the Rothschild conspiracy.
Every customer can now read in the
sinister countenance of the officers of
the batik with with which lie is com
pellet) to deal, in language plainet than
print, the ominns words: "Obedience
or ruin.” How long, oh ! how long
will the people of the United States
submit to the tyranny, robbery, ex
tortion, and misrule ot the national
hanks ?-Silver Knight,
The game season closed on April 1st.
We publish the following extract from
the Georgia game law:
“It shall be unlawful for any person
to shoot, trap, kill, ensnare, net or des¬
troy' in any manner any wild turkey,
pheasant, snipe, partridge or any in¬
sectivorous or singing bird, except
English sparrows, crows, larks, rice
birds, wheat birds and doves in any
county in this state between the 1st
of April aud the 1st day of November
of any jeir; and as to doves,
it shall he unlawful for any per
HOI1 l() trap, kill ensnare or destroy any
clove in tlus stale between the 1st day
ot Apri! ami the 15th day of July in
allv >car; J1IU | j t shall lie unlawful for
all y person c,, sell or offer for sale any
wild deer, wild lutkev, pheasant, snipe,
partridge, dove or other game bird
killed, destroyed, caught or ensnared
in this state within the dates aforesaid
in violation of the provisions of this
act.”
When the summer <>f youth is slowly
wasting away on the nightfall of age,
aud the shadow ot the past becomes
deeper aud deeper, aud life wears to
its close, it is pleasant to look through
the vista of time upon the sorrows and
felicities of our earlier years. If we
have a home to shelter, and hearts to
rejoice with us. aud friends have been
gathered together around our firesides,
\ben the rough places of wayfaring will
Ilavc been worn and smoothed away in
the twilight of life, while the many
dark spots we have passed through will
grow brighter and more beautiful.—
Happy, indeed, are those whose inter¬
course with the world has uot changed,
the tone of their holier feeling, or
broken those musical chords of the
heart, whose l ibrarians are so melodi¬
ous, so tender and so touching iu the
evening of their life.—Ex.
