THE TRIBUHE JOB OFFICE,
Bonds means bondage—nothing
else.
Why not issue money—green¬
backs—to pay all the expenses of
the war?
Why issue bonds at all? Why
not issue a hundred million dollars
in legal tender treasury notes?
Will you walk into our prima¬
ry. gays the democrat to the pop-
ulisi? 'Tis the prettiesi little
scheme, ever you did see—for us.
—Leader.

Why burden country
the curse of debt when it coukl be
gladdened by the blessing of an in¬
creased supply of money? Do you
couple on?
Yes, that was a splended speech
recently delivered by Col,Maddox;
but, then, how did he finally cast
his vote? Moral'. Give us men
that will vote as they pray (speak),
No party ever made more rapid
progress than lias the populist or¬
ganization, and it is not reasona¬
ble that it should now sink its
identity and destroy its cohesive
character by another fusion with
democrats or any other party.
The great robhors of history
robbed the rich and gave to the
poor. Our great robber bank offi¬
cials rob the poor and spend it
with the rich—lawyers and court.
The plain, every day robber is a
thousadd times more honorable.
Governor Atkinson has been
turned down by the war depart¬
ment, and if he really thirsts for
Spanish gore or a war record, he
will have to get it in some other
capacity than brigadier general.
His size appeared too small for that
job.—Daily Tribune.
If half what th«se' democratic
candidates for gubernatorial
ors say about each other is
neither of them is fit to carry
to a hungry bear. But after
convention watch the defeated
ones tumble to the support of
lucky candidate.
From Washington the
nouncement is made that General
Wheeler of Alabama is to be made
major general instead of Gen. Lee,
and at the same timo comes the
news that Gen. Wheeler was one
of the five democrats who voted
for the goldbug plan of raising
war revenues by means of gold

OPPOSITION.
He who fights for the truth must
have enemies, and The Tkibunk
has managed, by taking up this
light for the producers, to gain the
undying hatred of a few nincom¬
poops.
lie who has courage to stand for
what he thinks—yea, knows—to be
right in the face of the most hitter
opposition—stands like a stone
wall, bidding defiance to all foes—
is the kind of a man history calls a
hero and a martyr.
The best recommendation some
men have is the hatred of some
men. The man who does the most
for his country, the most for down¬
trodden humanity is often tho
most unpopular man—with some
Christians (?).
A populist editor has a hard
time of it. Nobody knows the
trials of a man doing his duty to
this great reform movement ex-
cept those who have stood in his
shoes and bore the abuse of the
hired henchmen of ‘‘those who
control.” Nobody knows what a
reformer has to submit to except ho
who has taken up the fight against
the money lords, The severing
of tie3 of friendship and love that
have grown for years and years is
no pleasant thing to do. The
giving up of many joys and hopes,
born amid childhood’s joyous days,
and the buckling on of the armor
of warfare, is no little tiling ip do,
Yet we have to do this and more.
There is a sentiment abroad in
these little towns to ostracize from
society, from the churches, from
all these so-called Christian and
benevolent associations, all who
don't bow the knee to tho false god
of democracy. Our friends in the
country know nothing of this
spirit, only as they see the out¬
croppings in a “ligious” gathering
in town now and then.
We throw defiance in the face of
all such, and we recognize no ruler,
no master but God and truth and
the voice of the people and the
voice of our conscience.
We intend to keep on hewing
to the line, letting
the chips fall where they may.
We will stand by the toilers of this
country if it costs us our energy,
our intellect and our life. We
have long since come to tins con¬
clusion, and nothing the demo¬
cratic hirelings may say can change
our views.
political ambition.
We believe it bad policy for a
newspaper man to personally strive
for an office, particularly an elec¬
tive one. The postoffice belongs
of right to the newspaper frater¬
nity and they should fight for it,
but it is very precarious business
to enter the field of gen¬
eral politics and go before the peo¬
ple asking their suffrages. Let the
other fellow do this. You can of¬
ten control an election for a friend,
while on the other hand you may
do yourself an irreparable injury
by seeking political preferment.
An exchange says in its obitua-
ry of a resident: “Ile is u man of
spotless integrity, a successful
business man, good advertiser, and
ho always had his job work done
” That ready
man was
pftiuthood.
THE WAR.
The war against Spam has now
been in progress over two weeks;
the excitement incident to begin¬
ning actual hostilities has died
away,and men are beginning calm¬
ly to consider its cause and course.
For anyone to make any adverse
criticism of our government is to
expose himself to the charge of
disloyalty, and such a charge,
once made, is taken up bv zealous
patriots who are honest though
thoughtless. F’or this reason it is
not likely that even those who are
not blind because they are patriot¬
ic, and who cannot conscientiously
approve the course of our govern¬
ment, will voice their protest. Yet
a man should always have the
courage of his convictions, and
never fear to toll the truth, no mat¬
ter what the cost.
That we have just cause for war
with Spain must bo admitted. Our
battleship was treacherously blown
up in a Spanish harbor and 266 of
our brave men, at their post of du-
tv, were foully murdered while
they slept in fancied security It
cannot be believed that this atro-
cious act was an official act of the
Spanish government, but this does
not relieve Spain of the responsi¬
bility in the matter. A demand
should have been made in Spain,
at once, for proper indemnity and
extreme punishment of the guilty
parties, and on Spain’s refusal,
war should have been declared and
prosecuted with vigor until Spain
submitted.
Instead of this, we have declar¬
ed war upon the pretext that we
cannot longer bear to see Spain
starve end maltreat tho Cubans
We havens much right to do this
as we would have to declare war
on England for her barbarous treat¬
ment of the Hindoos, which leaves
the treatment of the Cubans by
Spain in tho shade; or as Spain
would have the right to make war
on us for our treatment of the In¬
dians, whom we have exterminat¬
ed to make room for the white
man. But it appears that our
rulers (as some of the goldbug pa¬
pers call Hanna and his crowd)
wanted to make war upon Spain,
and for reasons best known to
themselves choose to ignore a just
cause, and in its stead sot up one
which at best is questionable.
Spain was told that unless she
signified her willingness to aban¬
don Cuba within a certain time we
should proceed to dispossess her by
force; yet, without waiting for the
time limit to expire, we began hos¬
tilities. And how? By sending
our army and navy to do as we had
threatened—dispossess the Spanish
government m Cuba by force? Not
a bit of it. Our first act of war
was the capture of a private ves¬
sel, traveling in peaceful course
from one of our ports to that of a
neutral nation in Europe; an act
of warfare precisely as the bucca¬
neers waged two hundred years
ago. And this style of warfare
has been continued from day to
day, varied at least by attacking
some land batteries in course of
construction near Matanzas. In
the meanwhile it is stated that our
Asiatic fleet has left Hong Kong,
m company with a British cruiser,
att-ii k Manila, in the Philip-
Allgood
Temple, Georgia.

Is that what the contemplated at-
tack on Manila means? If not
that, upon what other ground can
it be explained?
In every war between other na-
Uons this robber nation has stood
ready to claim a share of the spoils,
and just as she obtained Cyprus
after the Russo Turkish war she
hopes to get the coveted Philip-
pines after we take it from the
Spaniards.
Our government has placed our
country in a most unenviable po¬
sition before the nations of the
world. They see that it is a \aui
for conquest in which we are made
the tools to serve British aggrand¬
izement, and in doing this, wo for¬
feit their friendship. Even Russia,
steadfast friend hitherto, will turn
against us when England’s hand is
plainly seen.
Spain lias done nothing to resist
our aggression nor is it likely that
she will do much. She cannot;
and in our strength we may well
despise her weakness. But we
should be just, as becomes a groat
republic. This departure from
the Monroe doctrine, engaging in
war for conquest in the Orient at
England’s desire, can result in no
good to our people.
Our administration has departed
from the old landmarks of Amer-
icanism set up by the statesmen
under whose direction the nation
has become rich at home and hon¬
ored abroad, and the people should
call a halt on it,—Daily Tribune,
