main, to large extent, a matter of
taste and good breeding. There are,
however, some officials who devote
themselves SO in6ustriously to Wifi
cation and abuse of those under whom
they hold Office as to indicate that
their fidelity can not be trusted for
the performance of their duties in q
manner creditable to the administra-

chief. In the interest of good gov

we should be forced away from our

the field on the platform which we

The proposition submitted to the voters OF
New York State as to whether 1t would be ad.
visable to issue bonds in the sum Of 100000
for the improvement OF the canals Of that
State has undoubtedly been adopted. The
Erie canal has been of vast use to the COM
merce Of New York State and the country. IL
has returned to the State in revenue many
millions Of dollars more in tolls than It cost to
build, enlarge and maintain IL, although for
some years past it has been free Of tolls. 1t
has cost the State about S117OOOOOO and re.
turned In tolls about SIG 900, 900 more than that
sum. 1t has reduced the cost OF carrying
grain from Buffalo to New York city enor-
mously, the price Of carrying bushel OF corn
or wheat having ranged between 21S and so
cents during the season Of 1894 The traffic
was also immense the same season, 4S42S,521
bushels having been carried, and the total
value Of articles shipped from and received at
Buffalo alone aggregating over $0S.OO0,OOO.
Such great highway Of commerce should be
developed to its greatest capacity.-RaRsds CITY
Gazette, November 1g.
The Erie canal is owned by the State,
and the Gazette says, "It has reduced
the cost of carrying grain from Buffalo
to New York enormously" while at
the same time sit has returned to the
State in revenues many millions Of dol.
lars more in tolls than it cost to build,
enlarge s2d maintain it." Still there
are fools enough in the country who
have such q horror of what they erro-
neously call paternalism that they pre-
fer to be everlastingly plundered by
corporations rsther'thsn that the gov.
ernment (the people) should own the

combined. The result of those comDi-

to make an accurate estimate Of the

In conclusion we will add that whenever
the Populist party OF Indiana concludes to
disband 1t win do so in the only orderly and
competent way, through the action Of the

no secretary or committeeman, or other lndi-
vidual who is authorized to dlsband the or

been conferred upon the Indianapolis NetUS or
other plutoeratic newspaper.
Another tale that came from Indian.
spOlis, designed to confirm the story of
disorganization of the party in the
State, Is this:
The Popullst party In Indiana received its
first blow three weeks ago when the Farm
ers' Mutual Benefit Association of the State
cut loose from 1t.
The NORconf0rmiSt of November IA
fttingly disposes of this most silly
story as follows:
This is the most arrant nonsense and dreari-
est Of rot. The inference intended TO be con.
veyed Is that the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association is a Populist Organization and
that it had resolved to withdraw from the
party, etc. AS metteF Of fact It is not po-
litical organization st all, but non. partisan
association Of farmers for purely business
purposes. Members OF all parties belong to it,
and so far from any political test being re-
quired for membership, partisanship is abso-
lutely prohibited by its constitution. 1t is
true that some of the members are Populists,
but as far aswe know most Of them belong to
the old parties, Governor Matthews, OF this
State, is member of the order and has been
for years. Other Democrats and Republicans as
well are now or have been members. To talk
therefore of this association having withdrawn
from the Populist party and therefore given
II Its death-blow is about as silly as to an
nOunce that the A. P. A. had withdrawn from
the Catholic church and completely crushed
the power of the Pope. When the F. NJ. B. A.
held its annual State convention here o few
weeks ago 1t transacted its usual business,
elected officers and adjourned The question
of politics or the relation OF the order to any
political party was not mentioned in the
meeting at all. The truth is that only about
twenty-five members were present, all told.
After the meeting one or two of the members
in informal talks with reporters stated that
the order had nothing to do with political
parties and would hereafter as heretofore
rigidly avoid all connection with any and sll
parties. This was pounced upon as the basis
Of the ridiculous dispatch from which we
have quoted above, and copies of which have
been clipped and sent into this Office from
half the States in the union. We suppose the
next thing we will be called on to contradicS
is the grave announcement that the Masonic
order, or the Odd Fellows, or the knights Of
Pythias have determined to withdraw from
the Populist party and give 1t its death blow
some more.
