A Clear Exposition of Populism.

Populism had fair trial and was
found wanting. There has never been
party that promised so much and &C
complished so little.
1t was founded upon no great princi-
pie, as are the two old parties. Its only
mission seemed to be to overturn and
destroy, to undo that which has taken
the work of centuries to build up.
Its most marked feature seems to be
the doctrine of paternalIsm. They
would place under government owner
ship every industrial enterprise, cen
tralize the dangerous power of public
patronage and found a monarchy where
before free republic existed.
The Peoples party may be compared
to the individual known as the
'croaker." lie finds fault with every
thing and fills the ears of unwilling lis
teners with prophecies of dire import.
From his egotistic height he views with
the supremest contempt the individual
who is content with existing conditions,
believes he is living under the best gov
eminent in the world and who models
of citizenship.
There are many people who would
even improve upon the works of God,
and from such material evidently
sprung the Populist party. 1t has
shown itself to be party Of fault
which we all know will destroy pros
perity in community, and why not in
government?
The people of Colorado showed at
Tuesdays election that they are weary
of fault-inding, of calamity bowling, of
ceaseless contention. They are sick
unto death of Waiteism, which has
made Colorado the helpless victim,
while it Topped off sound limbs in its
endeavors to show its skill in surgery.
They have unwillingly, helplessly seen
this state propelled to the very shores
of anarchy and rebellion, and in their
despair have lifted up their voices and
cried, as did Caesar, "Help, Cassius, or
we sink !"
The wandering sheep will return to
the flock. Populism has run its course.
1t may rear its head again in some
other form, and may in the course of
human events seize upon a great prin-
ciple dear to the people, and make itself
what its name implies. But it will be
under different leadership, trimming its
sails closer to the law and with princi-
pies directly at variance to those now
held.-Grand Junction Sentinel.

Waite has been invited to take up his
residence in Illinois at the expiration of
his term as governor of Colorado with a
view to running for governor of the
former state in '98. The Grand Old
Anarchist would be at home in Chicago,
as that city is the recognized head
quarters of the red flag element in this
country, but the Chicago Inter Ocean
wants Governor Waite to remain where
he is until the Illinois people can trade
off Governor Altgeld for something.

A good, clean administration is de-
manded from the incoming govern
ment in this state, and if it is not forth
coming as promised the Republicans
will be turned down two years hence,
and it won't be done by Pops either
Colorado's had enough of that party
but by the great, never-dying Demo-
cracy. There are very few strings at
tached to the average voter in this alti-
tudinous climate and he is just as liable
to be voting the Democratic ticket in
'96 as the Republican. 1t was Republi-
can votes that elected Governors Grant
and Adams. Much will be expected
from Governor McIntire, and we have
just enough confidence in him to believe
that he will prove equal to the occasion
and that his administration will fulfill
all promises made in its behalf.

such contributed largely to the

A F1sHERMAN,s STORY.
Complains That the Captain of the IL

COMPLAINS That the Captain or the IL
waco Left Him to Drown.
A fisherman named p. Duroc COM
plains that the captain of the llwaco
acted in. an inhuman manner towards
himself and comrade yesterday. Duroc
SAYS that his boat was struck by a
squall, filled with water and capsized.
While himself and companion We're
clinging to the keel of the upturned
craft, the IlwacO, 50 he AYERS, passed
within 300 yards of them, but despite
his signals of distress, left him to
drown, or get out the best way he
could Himself and partner were res
cued by some other fishermen, but his
boat and fishing tackle drifted out to
sea and We're lost.
The above is given just as related to
The Astorian. The captain of the IL
waco could not be seen last night, and
his side of the story cannot therefore be
published this morning. 1t is difficult
however, to believe that man with a
spark of human kindness in his heart
would leave two human beings to drown
when it was in his power TO rescue
them. An explanation from the cap
tain is therefore in order.
