Not New.

Sixty-eight governments own
their telegraph lines. Bolivia, Cy-
prus, Honduras, Cuba, Hawaii and
the United States do not. Fifty
four governments own their own
railroads in whole or in part, while
only nineteen do not. Yet govern
ment ownership of these utilities
is termed ''crankism" and social
ism, and is one of the principal OBJ
jections urged against the Peoples
party. And few persons who
have rubbed up against the prac,
tical side of the issues" in Wash
ington want to ''drap" that and
other planks and wage the war ex-
clusively ON the currency question.
Government ownership of public
utilities is no ''new thing under
the SUM-" 1t is as old as the rail
road system. So with the tele-
graph. They are all in the same
category with the postofice, the
street, the public highway, and
the common schools.

Now 10 the Time.

The coming year will be one of
tho most eventful in the political
history of our country. The cam
palgn work of '96 must be largely
done this year. More political
changes will occur now than du-
ring the heat of a political strug-
gle.
A Populist without a newspaper
will be like a boatman without an
oar or q soldier without arms and
ammunition. Every Peoples party
voter should be fully posted on
the issues of the day and should
see that every nelghbor who is ca
pable of thinking has an opportu-
nifty to learn the truth.
Don't fail to renew your sub
scription and whenever possible
send in a few more names. The
battle of '96 is not far ahead. The
skirmish lines must be well guard
ed. We will be with you TO the
end, and victory is sure if you

ton.

Picnic
Editor LA. POPULIST.


Dear Sir:-No matter how much
the people of Sunnyside school may
differ about other things, when
their esteemed teacher, Miss Lena
Payne, says picnic for the chill
drcn, they all vic with each other
and nothing is left undOne to make
such occasions success. Proof
of this is that about two weeks ago
the announcement was made for the
crowning of the May Queen and
picnic OH 4th inst, it looked like
the time never would come, but it
did, and before 9 o'clock the cool
people and merry children began
to assemble, some ON horse back,
some in wagons, some in buggies
and some by the ankle express; by
IL o'clock the assemblage was such
In point of numbers and respecta-
bility as to do credit to any COM
munity.
The first on the programme was
the crowning of the new May
Queen, little Lucy Brown, which
was ably done by master Ernest
Jones. The whole school delivered
short and appropriate ceremonial
pieces. The exhibition on the part
of the school was splendid, and re-
fleets much credit on their able
teacher, whose energy is untiring
and whose devotion to education
is not surpassed.
The young people engaged in
various kinds of amusement, while
the sterner ones talked hard times
and politics.
When the hour for dinner arriv-
ell more sumptuOus one l would
not wish to see spread on natures
carpet of green, to which we did
full Justice, and after lingering a
while longer on this enchanted spot
the crowd dispersed, only to reas-
semble at the beautiful home of
Mr.. Sam Moore, whose doors are
ever open to his friends, of which
he has many. The host and host
ess were not lacking in their atten-
tion to their guests. In their spa
cious room we tipped the heel and

Base BALI
On last Sunday an exciting game
of base ball was played in Breda's
Park, between the 13 U. p. BIS. and
the Men, the former winning by a
score of II to 1. The Men were
badly in need of practice, and
therefore did not play their usual
fine game. The 13 U. p. BIS were
presumed to be composed of boys,
and indeed there is some basis for
their claim. They have only one
member (the catcher) that stands
6 feet 2 inches in height, and
weighs 1853 pounds the balance of
the nine are smaller than the catch
er. However, the boys(!) played
q fine game.

ing snake race l ever saw out there was
between a hoopsnake and a racer.
There was big bulge in the hoop
snakes body, evidently caused by a
large toad in his stomach, and ne
wabblcd so that every little while he
would lose his balance and tumble side
ways. The racer also had large lump
in his body, but it didn't bother him

and start in again. and he and the racer
covered more than two miles in that

Pete suggested that we find out

we both looked closely into the water

and there, much to my surprise, L saw
a large trout lying quietly near the

his fins. l called Pete to take look at
him, for he was a whopper. We tried
everything to try and make him bite,
but he wouldn't do it. So Pete started'
for the tent and made wire snare.

finally landed him.
When the old fellow landed on the
bank the dog backed off and came to a
point. and all the while we were ad
