Perhaps the strongest argument
that is argued against the nomi-
nation of General Weaver is that
he has been identified with several
political lost causes. He is a pio-
neer advocate Of majority of the
doctrines set forth in the Omaha
platform, and perhaps the party
has no man in its ranks who is
better qualified to go on the stump
and plead its cause with the voters.
But, at the same time, the ticket
would undoubtedly have caused
more concern on the part Of the
older political organizations had a
new man been placed at it's head.
Possibly as the campaign pro-
crosses it will be found that this
objection to General Weaver will
pass away, and that the principles
of the peoples party viii outweigh
all personal considerations. If
this is the case, there may be
some Of the much talked of sur
prises in several states in the
Union. At the present time, how
ever, it looks like a square contest
between the republican and demo-
cratic parties. Washington Post.

The contest in the democratic
National convention over the tariff
plank is as full of significance and
promise as any recent occurrence
in American politics. Twice a
democratic house refused to con-
slider bills for the reform of the
tariff introduced by Mr.. Morrison.
Then came the Presidents mes
sage aud the passage by the house
of the Mills bill. In 1888 the re-
publicans retained control of the
house and supplanted the war
tariff by two new measures drawn
to perfect the machinery for plum
dering the masses, and designed,
rs their author said, to check In
ports. The passage of that act was
received with Indignation all over
the country, and was supposed to
settle once for all the position of.
the democratic party before the
country. Because it was believed
that the democratic party denied
the Constitutional right of con-
gress to impose any taxes except
for revenne, it was given control of
the house. Yet, in the face OF facts
such as these, the committee on
actually submitted a
on the tariff which sur
everything for which the
party has been contending, and
which laid down principles to
which Mr.. Mckinley and his fol-
lowers appealed in defense Of their
Fortunately for the
party, fortunately for the cause,
fortunately for the candidate, the
friends of revenue reform were on
guard, and the terms of surrender
we're rejected. Mr.. Gpter Cleve-
land on the platform which came
from the committee would have
been ridiculous, and the compaign
would have been a farce aud

Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy, we
believe, makes sure the success of
his party in November. There is
no public man in the United States
who enjoys to a greater degree the
respect and confidence of his fell
low citizens, regardless of party.
His administration was marked by
a breadth of craftsmanship, an ear
nestness Of patriotic intention, a
dignity and a courage that earned
for him the esteem and trust of
the people. No man fears that

Third, county or neighborhood.
roads. These to be built and MAIN
tanned by counties and townships,
and be located with reference to the
classes just mentioned.
Those who advocate this idea say
that if our common roads were inn
proved by some such plan as this we
should soon have them in charge of
competent and educated engineers.
The national roads would probably
be in charge of army engineers; the
State roads in charge of engineers

mechanical schools; and the neigh
borhood roads in charge of local men.
