The Faith of the Populists.

The populists are an amusing lot And,
like Jocko, they are all the more funny
because they look so solemn while making
themselves ridiculous. Representative
Hudson, of Kansas, pretty fair repre-
sentative of his company, is one of the
latest Of the populists to offer the audi
ence something to laugh at To Wash
ington newspaper man the other day he
observed in all seriousness that it was
practically assured that the populists
would control the next House and elect
the next President. So firmly is this fixed
in Mr.. Hudsons mind that he and his
COnfreres have already, it is alleged, out
lined the program for the next congress.
They propose to elect the speaker and
hold the chairmanships of the ways and
means committee, appropriations commit
tee and other important chairmanships.
However, they would be willing to give
the democrats some of the smaller com
mittees, provided the democrats assisted
them in their plans.
AS to the legislation Mr.. Hudson SAYS
the populists will put through, there is to
be something in the way of tariff tinker
ing, but the great work of the session
will be on financial matters. The chief
law in that line will give the people an
abundance of paper money. That has
been determined upon, because there is
not gold and silver enough to supply the
amount of currency the populists think is
needed. They mean to coin all of the
gold and silver, and then go to work on the
paper 1t may be their idea to institute
free coinage in that commodity also.
They might arrange it so that every per
son who has piece of blank paper could
take it to the bureau of engraving and
printing and have it made into dollar.
1t is not known who Mr. Hudson speaks
for besides himself, but it is evident that
his faith in his party is about ION all
fours" with the faith in the powers of
congress expressed by a mass meeting of
populists at Wichita, in Hudson's state,
the other day. Among other things, the
meeting resolved that congress be in
structedn to build an irrigating canal
from the Missouri river at some point
near the center of the Nebraska line.
across Nebraska and Kansas to Dodge
City, where it is to strike a small stream,
whose water supply is to be augmented
thereby. The resolution was hailed with
approval, and was on the point of being
adopted when somebody in the audience
observed, but, see here, Dodge City is
1000 feet higher than the Missouri
river; do you suppose water is going to
run up hill at the request of congress2''
That's all right responded the chair
man; "iust you pass this here resolution.
and congress will fix the rest" And the
resolution was adopted.

An Odd Kind of a Lawyer.

slowly AoknOwIedging the Truth.

! Slowly Acknowledging the Truth.
The republican newspapers have been
/ slandering the south so long that it is
/ hard for them to admit that the north
| is guilty of the identical things
| of which they have been accusing the
south. For many years they have been
accusing the south of ill-using the blacks,
not only denying them their rights, but
lynching them on the slightest provoca-
tion. There have been so many lynch
ings of blacks in the northern states
within the last year or two that they are
gradually ceasing to insist that there are
are any more lynchings of blacks
in the south than in the
north in proportion to the black
to the white population in the respective
sections. And they are beginning TO
doubt whether the blacks receive any
better treatment in the north than in the
south.
The most ultra of the republican pa,
pers, the New York Press, in an article a
day or two ago, said that before the peo-
pie of the north can fairly denounce the
southern people for their treatment Of
whether indeed, that race has really
fair play in our own part of the country"
The Press then admits that the blacks in
the north are, as a matter of fact, vir-
tually shut out of all the occupa tions
which are gainful. Having got thus far
along toward the truth. the Press and
other republican papers should go step
further, and find out whether they have
not been misleading their readers all
along in respect to the treatment of the
blacks in the south. A fair and impartial
investigation would show that the blacks
in the south have nothing to complain of,
and do not complain. The utterances of
a few black demagogues do not represent
their actual condition. 1t can be stated
without fear of successful contradiction
that the blacks are shown far more con-
sideratiOn in the south than
in the north. The proof of
this is that they stay in the south, in
stead of emigrating to the north. A few
go north, but, as rule, the majority of
them return to their old homes. Many of
those who do not return are prevented
from doing so by lack of means.
The republican papers would never
have acknowledged that they have been
slandering the south in respect to the
treatment of the blacks if they had not
been forced by the facts to do so.

Ex-Speaker Reed expressed in forci-
Bile manner the republican view of APP
peals to congress in reply to a correspon-
dents question as to whether or not he
would favor government aid to the At
lanta exposition. Yes" he said, "pn
help you, because you southern people
are not asking for your rights this time,
but for your interests" If it were rights
that were asked, Reed would be opposed
TO granting them, but so long as it is
interests it is all right That is why
Reed and the Republican party are in
favor of protection. The manufacturers
have no right to protection, but it is to
their interest that the government should
permit them to fix their own prices for
both labor and products. When rights"
and interests come into conflict, the
republicans chuck rights aside; their
measure for craftsmanship is political
expediency, and for moral rectitude,
interests"

1t is gratifying to note that the en-
gines and other driving machinery of the
battleship Texas, which stood so salts
factory dock test a few days ago, are
the product of southern mechanical
skill and enterprise. The engines are
pronounced exceptionally powerful and
handsome. At the test they indicated
1900 more horsepower than the contract
with the government called for, and in
every other respect more than came up TO
requirements. These engines, which
were built at Norfolk, are the first for a
man-of-war that have been built in
southern shops since the war. The last
great engines built in the south for war
vessel previous to the ones under CON
sideration were constructed in Richmond
for the Merrimac.

Our loving friends on the other side of

South Carolina, are unduly exercised be-
cause of a fancied danger that menaces
Georgia. The Columbia State observes.
1--WE are afraid the Democratic party of
Georgia will have to fight hard for vic
tory this year. The populists are growing
in numbers and aggressiveness \ =
and Georgia may after awhile be in no
better plight than South Carolina; in
which case, heaven pity herr" In the
same line, the Greenyille News remarks:

pears to be growing wonderfully The

tended by $500 delegates, representing all
the counties Of the state except three or
four and there is evidence of abundant
enthusiasm" These comments are evil
IDENTIFY based upon Incorrect information.
The truth is the Populist party is not
growing wonderfully in either mum

good reasons for the belief that it is not
nearly as strong now as it was in the last
campaign and that the party is growing
beautifully less. Danger to the demo-
cracy from the populists is a possibility.

will sweep the state again this year as
