From recent developments it
seems there is going to be split in
tn, Populist party Of Texas. The
factions will be head ed by "Stump"
Asoby and Macune, respectively.
Il Macune is sill true to his ancient
instincts his faction will be known
a. the Doodle side, and the lovers Of
p.lf in that party will gravitate TO
him. sS.ump" will still hold the
mass Of the pot.house politicians
and entertain them with choice
anecdotes while he sips his beer
around convenient lunch couater.
The Populists are unfortunate.
Some of their radical demands
would break down good leaders,
while the leaders which they have
would do WI even good cause.

The Dallas News of yesterday
prints comparative statement OF
the price of cotton, wheat, corn,
pork, stocks and bonds, showing
the price yesterday and the price
one year ago. It's table shows what
the News calls shrinkage in value
of an average Of almost fifty per
cent. Many persons-in fact all
who favor hi metallism believe it
Is not so much a shrinkage of
value 81 il is an appreciation of
gold-the mt asure. The visible
supply of corn is no greater-in fact
not 80 great as it was one year ago.
The demand for ii is greater, but
the money--the measure-has en-
larged. Silver no longer aids the

by President Hosmer Of Oahu col.

The United States troops did
not overthrow the government of
Queen Liliuokalani. She was
driven FROM the throne by the
united force Of American, German,
Portuguese and English mechanics,
merchants and profssslou al men,
who have been goaded to rebellion
by the outrageous conduct of the
Queen herself. There was no plot
catered into by the better element.
The majority was disposed to toler
ate even TIE disgrace of selling out
the kingdom to the lottery schemers
and the opium swindlers; but when
LlliuoksIani undertook to over
