Swinging the Souphouse Door.

Hurrahl The Republican party is on
top again in the municipal elections all
over the country. Even old Missouri has
gone Republican. That pleases us Any
thing to keep the people Topping around
from one old party to the other until
they get sick and tired of it. First the
Republicans are on top, and the same
old souphouse door swings on its well
creased hinges to the unemployed
Then the Democrats come into power
and the door Of the souphouse still
swings open. The Republicans will get
on top again this fall almost every
where, and the dear good people who
think with their bowels will discovers
that the door to the souphouse is still
open. Stick to your old parties Don't
read, don't think, but vote the straight
party ticket and keep on voting it until
you are turned out on the street to starve.

PEOPLES Party Clubs.

During General Fields late visit to
Washington it was resolved to reorgan
ize the Peoples Party club organiza-
ton. The correspondence became so
large that the editor Of The Waterman
could not discharge the duty Of the Sec
retaryship any longer without serious
" interfering with his duties as editor
of the paper. Therefore he has resigned,
and a. E. Taubeneck of the national
committee has been elected in his place.
General Field is still president, and
John g. Otis of Kansas vice president,
as before. In the future all Peoples Par
ty clubs will write to Peoples Party
headquarters, Washington, for instruc-
lions, blanks and literature.

How TO MAKE POPULISTS.
Distribute Good Literature and Watch the
Old Party Promise Rreakers

Distribute Good Literature and Watch the
Old Party Promise Breakers.
Jan. l, 1892, there was not Popu-
list in Cloverdale township, Putnam
county, Ind, except the writer. The
township was overwhelmingly Demo
cratic-in fact, had never been carried
by the Republicans Ten dollars worth
Of reform literature was bought by the
writer and distributed in the township.
Some was sold, some loaned and some
given away. Now mark the result. At
the election in November following the
Populist ticket received 70 votes. Nine
tenths of these votes came from the
Democratic party. This in the face Of
the fact that the Democrats had never
been in power (since the war; and were
protesting that if given chance would
do something.
On the morning of the election we
had 100 voters that we felt absolutely
sure of-so sure that bets were offered,
with no takers, that we would poll 100
votes at least. Yet we only polled 70.
And why? Because the leading Demo-
cratic workers begged and pleaded and
promised by all that was sacred that, if
elected, Cleveland and Democratic ad-
ministration would do something for
the country. ''For Gods sake, boys,
don't, just as we are on the eve of vic
tory, leave us and put these Internal Re-
publicans back in again. Give us just
one chance We have never had chance
yet. Give us just one chance, and then
if the Democrats don't do something
We'll vote with you next time"
All this and much more was said to
the disguised readers Of the $40 library,
and in addition was a letter from Dan
VOORHEES,, which had been sent to every
voter, promising in the most solemn
manner to do everything in his power
to aid silver and destroy the robber tar
if. AS every Democratic voter Of mid
die age in the township had helped to
elect Dan to the lower house many
times his letter had tremendous effect
Thirty voters were persuaded away from
us on election day. How is it there now?
Every Democrat is smarting under his
betrayal. Many Of those who voted for
Cleveland in 1892 will never vote the
Democratic ticket again.
The Populists have nominated town
ship ticket, and they feel certain of
electing it. Now, the lesson we wish to
impress upon our readers by this recital
is this: Ten dollars worth of our liter
allure judiciously distributed in almost
any township in the United States will
convert enough to carry it at the next
election. We hope that every man who
reads this will consider himself COM
mittee of one to get library for circu-
lation now. -Noncomformist.

The Industrial Legion,

The Industrial Legion.
Commander Van Dervoort has issued
the following from the headquarters of
the National Industrial legion at Oma-
ha:

the officers of the national committee
gave it the following Endorsement:
We kindly request that the Peoples Party
state, county and local committees in every
state in the Union do all in their power and
lend q helping hand to organize the Industrial
legion. Push the organization into every
state. county, precinct and school district in
the land.

1898, the committee again renewed that
request.
At the meeting of the full committee
at St. Louis, Feb. %, 1894, the follow

the report of the committee on address
Resolved, That we renew our recommends
executive committee at Indianapolis and Chi

I earnestly request that every People,
Party newspaper in the land will keep
this standing for at least 60 days, and
that all the members of the committees
referred to and the rank and file Of the
people will write to me for the plan of
this work, and I am glad to say that
the people are waking up, and I trust
that the grand movement win continue

Justice, Not Charity.

The New York papers are recounting
what they have done for the poor dur
ing the hard times that commenced last
summer and seem to be continuing in
definitely. They count up the sums ex-
pended for coal and bread and flannel,
and the credit column looms up beauti-
fully. But they forget that there has
been a vast expenditure Of printers ink
urging congress and the president to
veto any measure that looked toward
permanent relief. They clamored for the
repeal of the Sherman law and howled
against an income tax. It is the old, old
story. When these journals commence
to ask for justice, they will not find so
much need for charity.-Denver News.

Middlemen Replaced by Idle Men.

Middlemen Replaced by Idle Men.
Loss Of confidence in the soundness of
business makes credits high. The banks
become nervous For example, three
years ago ready made clothing dealers
with fair ratings could secure accommo-
dation at the Boston banks. Today, un
less the security is ''gilt edge" the re-
taller gives his note to the wholesaler,
the wholesaler indorses it and passes it
ON to the manufacturer, and the manu-
facturer Endorses it and gets it discount
ed at the bank.
This claiming of trade to the banks
is again q premium on fear, and we
find that in the stress Of business the
manufacturers have this winter been
opening retail departments, just as the
coal carrying railroads are establishing
coal pockets in various parts of the coun-
try and forcing the coal dealers to shut
up their places or accept salaries or
commissions. It requires no powers of
prophecy to foretell the determination
Of the middlemen in the ready made
clothing trade and a new crop Of idle
mea.-Mason A. Green in Donahoe's.

Missouri Democrats Ratified

Colonel Scott J. Miller of Chillicothe
Mo, said to st. Louis Republic report
er the other day:
II dare not take the stump in my
county in the next campaign. I will
have to go to another county. have not
the hardihood to face the farmers of
Livingston and try to explain away GER
tain things that have been going on at
Washington. Those men have memories
They know what we promised them
They feel that they have been sold out
They are mad. I am afraid Of them
They read, and read good deal. They
think for themselves. Against the COM
bined opposition we have bare major

Other counties of the district are nearly
as close. We will send up pretty loud
Macedonian cry from the Second district
when the next campaign opens. Come
on and let's take something. I feel
glum."
General r. @. Horne Of Marshall, who
was with Colonel Miller, said: "The
Populists out in my section of the state
are humping themselves mighty lively.
Organize is their watchword, and
they are organizing. They are going to
make the fight Of their lives in the next
campaign in Missouri. They are sweep
ing the streets and scraping the prairies
and beating the brush for recruits. They
are going right up to where the creeks
fork and are ORGANIZING and pleading
with the boys to join them. They are

We do not see how a campaign run
ON the issues stated can relieve the
financial distress Of the people or in any
way help to unite the reformers of the

cannot be expected to become interested
to the extent necessary in matters pure
~ local to South Carolina. The real issue
is national, and we do not see how we
are to make progress with national
representative elected on local issues
Neither do we see how we can unite
with the other southern and the western
states except ON an issue that they are
interested in equally with us.
Governor Tillman owes it to the men
who gave him the position he holds, and
who have given him their confidence
and loyal support in carrying out their
wishes in his difficult and trying posi-
ton, to make himself clear on this mat
ter. He should remember that the most
effective and lasting leadership, and that
which accomplishes the most good, is
based ON intelligent support. To get that
support it is necessary to consult the
wishes and views Of those most interest
ed and all act together in unity and
harmony. The day of one man power
has passed, and we hope and believe that
Governor Tillman will take a position
on the issues as represented by the policy
advocated ia the interview.-Cottou

that when the fellows noe touched

They gave chase, but they might as

Electric Dangers in BaIlooning.

DR.. Bernstein had done good service
in completing his series OF exper ments
to determine the extent 10 which
balloons are subject TO danger from
electricity. Balloons often caught
fire, but the cause OF the com bustion
remained mystery. About Thirty
years ago, at Gratz, Goddard's bal
loon burned up while it was being
filed for an ascent and the mishap
was attributed TO careless
smoker among the onlookers
Other cases OF the spontaneous
combustion OF ballons have occurred,
but it was not until 1880. when Capt.
IObeps military balloon took fire.
that electricity was suspected as the
cause. On that occasion when his
comrade, Lieut. Marchal, was open
ing the escape valve, he noticed a
little explosion ins de 1t, which set
fire TO the balloon. Luckily, the
balloon had landed after the trip,
and the consequences were not seri-
Gus. Careful Investigation was
the trip wee recalled. Part OF the
voyage nad Deen made In JnlCK
clouds highly electrned-that is,
thunder clouds-and the balloon in
Guiding the valve, had been charged
with electricity The atmosphere
was dry, and it had kept its charge
on reaching the ground. The lieu
tenant, however. being in contact
with the earth, had produced spark
in pulling the cork To open the valve.
The subject has since been followed
up, and DIR. Bernstein now shows by
experiment that the safety valve OF
a balloon is liable to become clectri-
fed. not merely under such condi.
tions as mentioned above, but "a SO
through the friction OF the cord on
the balloon, and the folding Of the
envelope on itself. Many rreclu.
tions are laid for aeornauts, who in
future will doubtless exercise great
care In the construction and nd just
ment OF the safety valve, avoiding
metallic parts, and anything likely
To produce an electric spark.

Wonderful Night Photography.

During the Worlds Fair at Chi

secure night photographs Of the elec.
trio lighting effects by means or their
own light, and the results were sur
prisiEgly beautiful. especially IN pic
lures OF the electric fountains aud
OF buildings or statuary under the
search light Encouraged by the sue
cess obtained, one OF the leading
photographers OF san Francisco has
made further Efforts at the Midwinter
Fair, and the views thus secured are
triumphs OF the Photographic art.
Some of them are so clear that IL
seems Incredible that they were taken
at night until the method is ex-
planned. While the building or Oh.
ject Is being taken, the beam OF "a

This process can be arrested at any
stage, or the beam can be focused
on any special features, so that ex-

graphs arc lights are seen burning
brilliantly in front OF the buildings,
and the interiors are at the same
time shown TO be brightly illumin-
ated, yet the ed flee itself is bold and
strong in every outline, as though
under a midday sun. The appear.

that of building in which a lot OF
