HOMER, UA., TUESDAY AUGUST 30,1802.
Nut S tablet h Hut Burgess.
In our last issue we suggested the
name of B. F. Suddeih for the senate,
but before the edition was all worked
wo were informed that he would not
make the race, one reason being his
physical inability to campaign the
district, having been caught in his
mill machinery recently and seriously
hurt, and another is ho is not an
aspirant—does not want the office,
the last named reason being the
cause of the party’s desiring his ser
vices. We are very sorry not to be
able to command his time, bnt in
as much as we cannot get one good
man to servo us we made an effort
and have succeeded in obtaining an
other equally as good to make the
race. A man whose character as a
Christian minister is universally
know throughout this portion of thu
country; a man devoted to the cause
of reform and honest government,
the demands of a toiling and oppress
ed people. This man is found in the
person of liev. C. T. Burgess, chap
lain of Banks county Alliance. With
such material as C. T. Burgess we
need have no fears of failure.
The Force Bill.
Wo have been favored with a copy
of famous document that bears the
above title, with other matter of an
electioneering nature, for which wo
are indebted to—who, the democratic
or republican party ?
We have not read the stuff nor
don’t know that wo shall. But we
would just like to know how the
democratic party can spend lie* gov
ernment’s money in printing cam
paign literature to be sent out all
over this country that is supposed to
be damaging to the republican party,
when the democrats have only one
branch of the government and the
republicans two.
Neither party has ever been able
to do anything to benefit the laboring
masses—to pass any law loaning the
fanner the money of the govci nment
that he has furnished—but when it
comes to lagislation that is a curse
to the nation, why the other party
just passes the measure in spite of
all opposition.
The republican senate and presi
dent bad nothing under the sun to do
with the force hill measure, of course
not, but they had something to do
with the Stewart free silver bill.
Wo would like to know, with the
lights before us, if there is even the
shadow of doubt as to which party is
in sympathy with the republicans.
Fight the Devil with Fire.
“J. K. Burton lias frequently request
ed that there shall bo no mud slinging
in this campaign. So far as his pri
vate record is concerned, the people
will discuss that privately. 11 is
official record is public property and
it is not only the right but the duty
of the press to ventilato that. Ilis
unsavory insurance record in the
Kansas legislature ought to be fully
shown up. But, if he thinks that the
people’s party papers are going to
keep quiet while they throw dirt at
Mrs. Loase and all the other speakers
and candidates of the peoples party,
he is doomed to have his righteous
soul chilled by the wild waves of dis
appointment. A. W. Smith showed
himself to be a blackguard by speak
ing of Mrs. Lease as he did, and there
is not a dity lying republican editor
in the state that has not, in some way
tried to cast reproach upon that lady.
Wo believe in lighting the devil
with fire, and if they intend to throw
dirt we shall advocate the same kind
of treatment.”
The above paragraph was clipped
from The Alliant, a genuine people’s
party paper, published at Concordia,
Kansas, and as that state has been
republican until the people’s party
captured it, the article shows that our
brothers of the other old party are
using the very same means to fight
the people's party that the democrats
of this state have adopted—vilifica
tion and slander, especially of the
female sex. W. J. Northen’s slander
ous statements in reference to Mrs.
Post was enough to have condemned
him in the opinion of any one who
has proper respect for the female sex.
But not so with the democratic party,
such conduct seemingly creates a
greater admiration for the man.
We cannot agree with our brother,
however, in the suggestion “fight the
devil with fire.” Fire being the devil’s
own element it is not possible to do
him any hurt in such a combat. We
must treat our enemies with due
respect.
Strikes and Combines.
Anent the Homestead trouble, the
Alliance Advocate, Henning, Minn.,
says:
Despite the fact of the profitable
ness of the business, the workmen do
not seem to have thought of building
their own manufactory. They have
been so long working under a boss
that they do not seem to aspire to
owning their own business.
Our usually clear headed contempo
rary here overlooks a condition in
business that is an effectual bar to any
such aspirations on the part of work
men. No co-operative business will
ever be established on a large scale
again in this country until trusts are
destroyed and tiic possible combina
tion in trusts is made impossible.
Did not the loeked-out knight of
labor clothing cutters of Rochester
arrange to start their own place of
business f Did they not offer to pay
spot cash for their cloth? And were
not the lnonufacturers of the cloth
notified by the Rochester clothing
manufacturers that if they sold goods
to the knights the combine would
“smash their business”? And did not
the knights find that money would
not buy material for workmen when
bos-essaid it should not?—The Van
guard, Chicago.
We are told that if the laborer
cauuot accept the price offered him
he should move on about his business
and not interfere with others whoare
willing to work. We presume, how
ever, that it is all right for the plute
to say that the mechanic shall not
have any other business but to work
for him or starve.
We live in a free country with a
vengence, don’t we T
HOW A FIRE IS FOUGHT.
IntcrPHtlnj? Detail* About (ho Location
of Engine*, Line* of Hone, Etc.
Chief Swenie is a fire fighting
strategist. When his flaming foe in
vites battle lie employs all the arts of
war.to gain the victory. Sometimes
he begins the battle by massing his
forces at one point and charging
directly upon the enemy. Again he
throws out a skirmish line or shifts
his position so as to take his opponent
upon the flank. If necessary he calls
up his reserves and at times is in con
stant communication with his chiefs
of battalions and captains of com
panies.
There is this difference, however,
between fighting fire and fighting
armies. Commanders of opposing
armies are fully informed of each
other’s movements days before the
meeting and draw up their plans of
battle accordingly. Not so with
Chief Swenie. Fires advance under
cover, every move hid from view,
until they are ready for the fight;
then comes the burst of smoke, the
volley of flame and the chief is sud
denly called upon to give battle.
Plan and execution with him must
be simultaneous; he must think, and
act while thinking. Yet he has liis
plan of battle complete in every de
tail, though it is made up and placed
on paper after the battle has been
fought.
Tire captain of every engine com
pany makes a report of the tire—as
far as his company is concerned -to
his chief of battalion, hr he forwarded
to Chief Swenie. That report gives
the time the alarm was received, the
fireplug to which the engine was
connected, the direction and the lead
of the line of lioso and any changes
in the position of the engine, together
yith other information, such as
amount of water pressure secured,
accidents, incidents, etc. All these
data are handed an expert drafts
man, who proceeds to draw an ac
curate plan of the fire.
He first obtains from the map de
partment an authentic plan of the
locality, giving the streets, alleys,
courts, building or buildings tfffected
by the flames, whether destroyed or
merely scorched, and adjacent build
ings. The water depai tre—tt fur
nishes maps showing location of fire
plugs and cisterns and size of water
pipe, mains or branches in the streets.
If necessaiy the scene of the fire is
visited and personal investigation
gives him still further information.
With all this material the plan of
battle is depicted. Every piece of
apparatus which had anything to do
with the fire is located, and the lines
of hose leading to the fire are shown
by lines reaching from the engine to
the place occupied by the pipemen.
Where the lino runs through a build
ing the floor to which the lead was
carried and from which the stream
was thrown is properly designated.

A Crudo Style.
Mr. Gotham—So you think Scrib
bier has rather a crude literary style?
Miss Backbay (of Boston)—Hum
bly crude. One can understand
everything bo says.—New York
Weekly.
The plute press of the country is
making sport of the Kansas Alliance
for sending flour to the Homestead
people, declarations of the existence
of hard times. If these Smart Alecks
will stop and consider for a moment
the fact that poor people as a rule
have mote feeling for the poor and
unfortunates and do more charitable
deeds than the rich, they will readily
see that the Kansas farmers are not
actuated by a sense of having a su
perabundance themselves, but a de
sire to help the needy: To illustrate:
Tramps seldom ever approach the
back doors of the very wealthy for a
“hand out,” for the reason that they
long ago learned that there is little or
no sympathy for them there. Asa
rule they apply to those whose houses
show by outward appearances the
occupants arc in medium circum
stances, or are poor. The truth is
the richer men become the less heart
they have in them and the less chari
table they are as a rule. The fact
that the farmers of Kansas propose
to help the Homestead people is an
evidence of their desire to help the
needy, who are fighting the battle of
industrial freedom. The Kansas far
mers realize that the Homestead
struggle is in a measure their struggle;
that their destiny is linked to the
Homestead people. In short, is a
feeling of common brotherhood that
accepts the principle that “an injury
to one is the coneern of all. - ' —New
Forum.
“THE ROAD TO HEAVEN.”
A WONDERFUL BOOK.
The Road to Heaven, A Golden
Casket of Unique, Brilliant and Beau
tiful Christian Treasures, gathered
from the Richest Alines of Religion,
Science and Philosophy; Richly Em
bellished with a Superb Galaxy of
Royal Steel Plate Engravings.—Globe
Bible Publishing Cos., Philadelphia,
Pa.
This magnificent literary’ produc
tion represents a Superb, Unique
and most Remarkable New Book.
The Author whose mind is strong in
imagination, happy in word painting,
sprinkles the glittering pages of tli s
unparalled work with the most chaste
and beautiful gems of thought, jewel
ed with all that is Great, Good, Pure
and Noble, in the glowing freshness
of living reality.
When he writes of God and the
Soul, of Heaven and its ineffable bliss,
he touches heights of unsurpassable
magnificence tliut makes you feel like
Moore’s Peri, as if you stood looking
through the bars of the “Pearly
Gates.” Though he leads to moun
tain heights, he has also the daintiest
dells of restful and tender experience,
full of Ilearts’-ease and Violets where
the simpliest minds and quietest na
tures may rest and drink sweet
draughts from the River of God’s
Love.
Through the whole book rings the
happy laughter of Cheerful Christian
ity and Moral Anecdotes, thick as
stars that deck the frosty blue of
winter’s midnight sky, shine out on
every page. These Anecdotes, fresh,
thrilling and delightful, dealing as
they do with every phase of Human
Experience, bring out the Author’s
meaning most beautifully. They are
carefully gathered from every History
and Language and scattered through
the book like Pearls on a Royal Rohe.
In fact, the entire book is a wonder
of value and interest, such as was
never seen before.
This magnificent volume, compris
ing over 700 massive octavo pages, is
printed from large, clear, new type,
suited to every degree of vision, on
extra fine super calendered paper of
admirable finish. It is elaborately’
illustrated with the most charming
Steel Plate Engravings, designed and
engraved by Artists of world renown,
at an expense of many thousand dol
lars. It is substantially bound in the
most sumptuous manner.
This very valuable work is sold by
subscription only, and Mr. W. I’.
Neal, who is the authorized agent for
this locality, is now canvassing for it.
We cordially’ commend it to our
readers.
