Myron Reed, the great apostle Of
Populism, in his tour around the state,
has not gained many votes for
the cause he advocates. While pre-
tending the most violent friendship for
the workingman, he has done every
thing possible TO array employc against
employer. to create unrest and disturb
the right relation of capital and labor.
While conjuring up host of real and
fancied grievances suffered by the Ia
boring man, he always stops short OF
offering any remedy. The man who
breeds discomfort is not a friend of his
kind. The man who studies to make
discord and doesn't labor to secure n
better condition Of things and find
remedy for existing evils, is not
friend of anybody. Agitation, that has
for its purpose the arraying of one
class against another, is the resort of
the demagogue and not the device OF
the patriot.

The professed love of the Populists
for silver is absurd, in view of the fact
that il they We're able to carry out
their scheme of buying up all the rail
roads in the country and paying for
them in paper money, they would drive
every dollar of silver and gold out of
circulation and close up every mine IN
the United States When all use for
silver is gone there is no further need
of producing it. To suspend the use
of gold and silver as money is to par
alyze Colorado. and that is exactly
the logical outcome of the success Of
the Omaha platform in this state As
well as the rest OF the country.

The purport Of the papers is as

a ministerial crisis, in any event,

SEGUIN, Tex, Dec. l2.-(Special.)
A freight train, No. III, local, left
this station last evening at 2:lO
and carrying two cars of cotton.
One Of them caught fire, and the
flames soon spread to the other
car. An alarm OF fire brought out
the fire department from town, but
too late to be of much service,
further than to move the burning
mass down the track and out of
reach OF the other cars and build
ings near. The cotton was shipped
by Enron & Co., and consigned to
New Orleans and Canada agencies.
Express trains were delayed two
hours or more while the track was

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. - With
estimated losses Of between SlO,-
100000 and 49,, 100000 from the hog
cholera and swine plague in the
United States, a discussion of the
prevention OF these diseases Is OF
great value. The bureau OF animal
industry has been conducting an
exhaustive investigation and finds
that the agents which destroy
the germs of one Of these diseases
is also effective in the destruction
Of the other. The most efficient
remedy tried by the government
is the following:
Wood charcoal, sulphur sodium,
sulphate and antimony sulphate,
one pound each; sodium chloride,
sodium bicarbonate, and sodium
hyposulphite, two pounds each
These to be completely pulverized
and mixed. This medicine may be
used also as a preventive of these

WANTED MUCH,
But Got Very Little Satisfaction
From the Mayor.

From the Mayor.
From a member OF the city ad-
ministration it is learned by a
LIGHT reporter today that de-
mand was made by the "Big Six"
political combination upon Mayor
Elmendorf last evening for recog-
milton OF their claims TO the city
patronage in appointive officers at
the coming city election in return
for their support of him for cleo
ton as mayor.
The officers whom they demand
ed should not be reappointed In
the event Hon. Elmendorf was
elected were Assistant Auditor
Sauer, Assistant Clerk Scheideman-
tel, Chief Of Police Druse, Street
Com missioner Crowther, Chief De.
tective Hughes and City Engineer
Pancoast.
A demand was also made that
the fire department should be por-
toned off to Pat, while Thad and
Joe should have the distribution
OF the street commissioners and
sanitary department patronage,
and that Mr.. Russi should be APP
pointed chief OF the sewer construc-
ton at a $4,000 a year salary.
TO these demands the mayor
could not for a moment reply.
They took his breath away. When
he did answer he said very empha-
tically, that he would pledge moth
ing to nobody, and that he would
simply run for the office OF mayor
before the people, and steer clear of
all combinations.
