Future Of the Populist Party.

Congressman OFerrall. who was re
Gently elected governor of Virginia, by
an overwhelming democratic majority. is
quoted as expressing the opinion that the
populist movement is practically dead,
especially in Virginia and other southern
states. Even in the northwestern states,
he says. it IS losing ground According
to his view, political contests in future
will be between the two old parties
Congressman OFerrall had fine OPP
portunity in the recent campaign in Vir-
ginia to study the populist party in that
state, and to determine pretty accurately
the extent of the hold it has upon the
people. He is confident that there is
nothing in the principles of that party
which appeals strongly to the common
sense Of the people. A great many men
have been led into joining the party for
one reason or another, but the per centage
Of its members who viii stay in il is not
large.
The populists thought they could carry
Virginia, and they made an extraordinary
effort 10 do so. They were beaten so
badly that their leaders are much dis
Outraged. Those Of them who are giving
populistic principles careful consideration
do not find in them anything that is calcu-
lated to take a strong hold upon the pub
lie mind. There is much that is wholly
impracticable in them, and that which
seems to be desirable is found in the plat
form Of the Democratic party.
In the west the fact is cropping out
that there is more than the usual amount
of demagogism in the populist party. Be
sides, not a few of the populists who have
been elected to Office have been found to
be wholly unworthy of the trust reposed
in them. In Kansas, for instance, not
withstandiug the fact that the populists
have had control of the state for only a
year or two, there has been
more than the usual number of bad
men in the Offices There has
been a great deal Of wrong doing. A pop
ulist orator of Kansas, speaking Of the
populist administration of that state, re
Gently, said - tell you, the present ad-
ministratiOn is enough TO damn any party
Some of our populist representatives sold
their birthright for mess of pottage.
There are several men in the state house
who are as corrupt as you can find men in
any party 1t is not to be wondered at,
therefore, that the people have
finally decided that even republican
control and republican officials are prefer
able to those of the populists.
We shall, of course, hear something
more of the populists before they finally
disappear from politics, but their doings
are not likely to cause much uneasiness to
the leaders of either of the old parties.

Too Many "Helping Hands,

From the Greenviue IS. Cl News DEM
In reading the speeches of the Christian
Workers at Atlanta we are impressed with
the feeling that vast quantities OF labor and
money are being wasted on work at the wrong
end. II less was spent on Rescue missions
and Helping Hands and Doors of Hope. and
more on preventing people from going to the
la1 and removing the temptations OF poverty
evIl tOmpanionship and Lad habits, the re
suits might be better. Our observation is
that the reClamattonS among the criminal
class are rather less than the conversions to
Christianity among the natives of Africa, and
that is ABOUT as small a percentage as figures
will express.

EX-Census Commissioner Robert p.
Porter's newspaper, the New York Press,
is urging, in flaming headlines, the i'm
parchment of the President, because he
will not permit this government to be the
receiver of stolen goods-the Hawaiian
Islands. 1t is quite natural, however,
that the Press should be found occupying
such position. 1t is a republican news
paper, aud the Republican party has so
long fattened on ill-gotten gains, and was
so recently the beneficiary of manipu-
lated census taken under the general
supervision of the Press editor that an
honest policy linds little favor with
the Press or its party. The republican
policy seems to be to take all that comes
within reach and ask no questions.

1t is very queer about Col J. Hamp-
ton Hoge Col Hoge is the man whose
appointment to a China consulate. upon
the recommendation of Senator Hunton
and other prominent Nirginians, led to
MIR, Cleveland humping his fist down on
his desk and declaring in vigorous Eng
fish that he had been deceived. 1t will be
remembered that the colonel's appoint
ment was held up and that he was re
called when he had reached San Fran
cisco. That occurred on Saturday, Nov.
4, On the Monday following he left
Frisco ostensibly for Washington. Later
it was announced that he had gone to his
home at Roanoke. But he has never
reached either Washington or Roankoe,
that anybody knows of. His family and
friends do not know where he is.

Minister willis instructions.

The anxiety to hear from Honolulu is
intense. 1t is the general understanding
that Minister Willis was instructed to
restore the deposed queen to her throne.
What instructions were given him is not
known, of course, outside Of the cabinet.
1t is believed, however, that he was eau
toned against using force to carry out his
instructions. If President Dole of the
provisional government declines to act in
harmony with the policy adopted by the
administration it is thought that Minister
Willis will simply wait for further in
structions. No additional instructions
will be sent him probably until congress
has been advised Of the course pursued by
the administration, and has had an op-
portunity to read Mr. rBlounts report.
upon which the administration policy is
based
The hostility which has been, and is still
being. shown to the administration pol
icy does not alarm the President and Sec
rotary Gresham in the least. They are
confident they have done what is right,
and that they will bt,fully sustained by
the people when all the facts are known.
Those hostile critics assume that the mon
| archy was overthrow by the people of
Hawaii and that the present provisional
government is entirely satisfactory to
them. If it is shown that the monarchy
was overthrow and the provisional gov
| eminent established by a lot of conspira-
tors who had the support of the United
/ States marines they will have to admit
that their criticisms were uniustifable.
In the meantime, there is the greatest
anxiety to know what has been done by
! Minister Willis.

1T is predicted says the Wilmington
Star, that within three decades there
will be more miles Of railway in opera
tion in the south than there now are in
the United States. Railroad building of
the future will be mainly in the south. g"
Well, that depends If southern legisla-
lures and legislators continue the
hostility to corporations that seems
to be the foundation of some political
faiths, there will be comparatively little
railroad building in the south during the
next thirty years. There is plenty of
room for the building of new roads in the
south, but people who have money are
not going to invest it in enterprises where
the management Of those enterprises
may be taken out of their own hands and
placed in the hands OF commissions of
politicians.

The House Of Representatives struck
good blow against whitecapism when it
passed Mr. Mosely's bill, making the
posting of ginhouses and the issuing of
anonymous threats a felony. The bill
should meet the prompt approval of the
Senate. There has been too much of gin
house posting and other whitecap opera
tions in-G3eorgia. The states reputation
has suffered through them, and they must
be put down. What we want is compre-
hensive laws that will reach whitecaps
and those laws strictly enforced White
