The PopuIists Lost Their Opportunity

ed Opportunity comes to every par
ty one time during its existence.
The election Of Tuesday of last week
was the Populists' opportunity. 1t
knocked long and loud at the door
but they gave no answer from within:
they were not at home. Conditions
will never be SO favorable to them
again.
They might have had majorities in
Virginia, Colorado, Kansas and re
corded big vote in Iowa Conditions
were all favorable to these, and had
they succeeded, they would have had
all the mining States bodily in their
power for the next year. But they
lost rather than gained. General Weav-
er, their leader and ablest campaigner,
did them no good in Iowa. Simpson,
Pence, Watson, Butler and others won
them no recruits in Virginia. They
can have no hopes of the mining
States next year. They have lost their
opportunity. Idaho will be to them

thankful results were no worse. Old

United States Senators. In the other
States the victory ends with the cleo

THE INGRATITUDE OF POLITICS.

The Populists of Kansas leased
Mrs. Mary Leases services for the

good service. Now that the election
is over and they are beaten they want
to deprive the woman of her little
office which helps give her oat meal

Sees Boom Looming Up

Special To The Statesman.
LLANO, March IA AT the annual
meeting of The L!ano Improvement
and Furnace company held here yes
terday aud today there was a large
attendance OF stock holders, and a
very profitable meeting it was. The
new officers for the coming year are
Chas. l.. Lauderdale, president; f. j.
Semple, vice president; w. 5. Dor
land, treasurer; ). Duncan, secretary.
These gentlemen are also directors,
and the balance Of the board are A. G..
Schryver, f. r. Malone, &. T. Malone,
NJ. l.. Wood ond JnO. n. Simpsan Of
Dallas. The Dyer proposition were
accepted, and work will begin soon on
development OF two iron mines, be-
sides Iron Mountain, which already
develops twenty-lOur feet Of ore. y
terminal railroad will be built to these
mines and to others which may be
developed.
1t is also contemplated building a
dam twenty.six feet high which will
back up the LlanO river several miles
and give abOundant water power, a
plant Of electric lights and system
of water orks also. The considera-
ton asked by the capitalists represent
ed by Mr.. Dyer, VINO are New York
people, Is 1000 lots of unimprOved
plated property within mile and
nail OF Inc bridge, and as the lots are
already donated, it will no. be many
days before Llano's boom begins. All
the outsandiDg Indebtedness will be
taken up and paid when due. For
this purpose bonds to the amount of
Sis 600 will be issued to create the
iund, and all claims now due are to
be paid at once.
The retirement of Mr.. Malone, who
for the last three years has been the
able president of the company excites
numerous regret, but he will continue
with us aud will still look after the
interests of Llano. He has done a
great amount OF successful work, and
everyone wishes him success. Mr.. &.
l.. .Lauderdale, the new president, is q
young attorney who is fast winning a
high mark, and 1t is certain that his
administration of the company's of.
fairs will be just as efficient, and that
he will carry out successfully the
plans already ordered.
