There il every indication that Popu.
lism has reached the maximum of Its
strength as II political organization and
is now on the decline in every state
where the lunacy was most prevalent.
The poor deluded mortals have injured
the credit IF every state where they
have been intrusted with power, and
the leaders of the party have become
the laughing stock of the civilized
world. We have seen the last of n
Pennoyer and We shall in time forget
hat l.ewelling was once governor
of Kansas, although Re has again
consented to head the ticket for re-
election. 1t is presumed the people of
Colorado are also anXiously waiting for
al opportunity to show their disgust
for the administration of Gov. Waite.
Montana does not appear to be a
healthy locality for Populism. What
strength the party has is confined to
the cities where any kind of II craze
will find some supporters and where
ambitious men who imagine their abil-
tiles and services have not received
proper recognition by the old parties
and are willing to lead n forlorn hope
to CRAFTY "A feeling of revenge O T pique.
Like the old greenback party Populism
will soon run its course and become a
thing Of the past.

A late number Of the Chicago Record
contains the following: "Majnr Martin
Maginnis, the handsomest and smart
est Democrat in Montana, shook his
head sadly today when asked if there
WAS any chance IF his election to the
senate from that state g winter.
NO." he replied, "the Democratic
party has gone all to pieces in our state
and there is no show for anybody. Our
mines are close because of the silver
policy Of the administration, our sheep
are worthless because of the remova
uf the duty on wool, and of course the
blame is all laid on the Democratic
party, 81 what can we expect? Mon

Last winter the New York legislature
passed n bill authorizing the appoint
menl of IA committee to investigate the
municipal affairs of New York city.
The appropriation bill to defray the ex-
penses of such committee was vetoed

wanted To shield the corrupt gang who
made him governor of the state. The
committee determined to act regard

statement of Il New York paper is true

The senatorial fight is now between the

OF free born American citizens.

be ended in the year 1898 hut if not, it is

several years to come, but Ne want no

pose every man who is branded NJ. ID. We
are not alone in this position. There are
hundreds of as good Democrats as ever
wore shoe leather, who will not support
candidates who acknowledge Daly's dicta-

Comment on the above is hardly
necessary. 1t required considerable
adroitness on the part of the Cbroni-

his will dictates.
The only course remaining for the Demo
Gratis, those of independence and character,
is to openly oppose Daily now. To give

will drive from it's ranks every man who is

The question is, shall the Democratic

ITO compromise is to admit that DAILY

There are just two things required
in teaching a calf how to drink; the
first Is little common sense, the sec
ond Is patience. The common sense
comes in when you consider that its
nature is to look up for it's food sup
ply. and If you touch the top Of its
head or nose you must expect its ten
dency will be to follow up that di-
rection to find what it is after. Don't
think calf day or two old can have
great amount Of experience, SO don't
expect to show very much reasoning
power. You must do that for them
When your patience begins to waver,
just ask yourself how much more you
knew when you were at the calfs age.
and it may help you to credit the calf
with a little sense and enable you to
overlook good deal that you might
otherwise attribute to pure cussed-
ness.
