THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. | ; MkllorD tli:tt will Nfcil Citrrfiil anil VlgI! nit W'ut i IiiiiR The name indicates the general make of an organization forming al?out. tho Farmers' Allianco and Industrial Union as a nucleus. Thero will he suggestions from tho outside and also through friends on the inside to add souio side issues to tho Feoplo's platform. This matter will need careful and vigilant watching. The platform agreed upon at St. Louis is broad enough to build a party on. It could be tnado more I specific and to that extent Improved; 1 hut thero should ho no chance that would tuko any part away or add any thing foreign. What has been addod by tlio State, with suggestions mado by tho Emporia union mooting, are quite sufficient for a comprehensive declaration of what at least ninety per cent, of dissatisllod people want. As to candidates, that is a matter of very great importance. A candidate is sometimes equal to tho party's platform. He may have been so closely identified with some particular movement as to suggest his platform without its being presented at all. Men who, from any cause, have beeomo objectlonablo to largo classes of voters, should not be sot up as candidates of the Peoplo's party. This is a movement in which a groat many persons will unite who have formerly hoen far apart, and their present uniting is based upon tho reasonable belief that to advocate necessary reforms does not require any violonco to opinions on Issues past. Tho Republican party was made up of men who had differed widely on many dangerous. Our platform Is all right: . It. la entirely satisfactory to tho masses. ' If our candidates are xjually satisfactory, enemies of the movement I will bo to that extent disarmed, and friends will b{' strengthened in their purpose. Men who have been much in ollleo could serve this cause bettor as workers than as candidates, and tho man who is known as a "chronic olllce-soeker" is not a [food collector of votes. Men of convictions, men of character, j men of courage an.l stoadinoss of purpose, men who are earnestly and activeI ly In sympathy with tho people's movo: ment, are the men needed now. We I can not afford to fritter away our opj portunitie.s with incompetent or unlit. ' men a; our color-bearers. Success with I good men will land us far ahead the ! first step.?Kansas Parmer.

Tho Partners' Alliance of the country is doing one thing at Toast: it is causing lots of talk in newspaper circles, and is giving tho people of tho country an hlea of what the poor,ovor-worked farmer is. One of tho ideas advanced in tho j formation of the Alliance was to light j trusts and monopolies of overy descripj tion. If there is a bigger trust In the | country than the Farmers' Alliance wo would liko to have it pointed out.
