it is in line with the action of the con-
vention. 1t is a source of regret that
the committee did not take this stand
sooner. 1t is somewhat doubtful now
if the matter can be patched up in
time for the Populists to unite their
vote in such manner as to carry the
states named for Bryan. The action of
those states has provoked much criti-
cism outside and helped no little to
complicate matters. 1t is questioned
by many middle-of-the-road PoDu-
lists whether any kind of fusion is in
line with the action of the national
convention. It is true that no speech
made in the convention by those who
favored Mr.. Bryan's nomination con-
tanned any hint or allusion that further
fusion than that agreed upon by the
national convention was contemplated
1t is pososible that Messrs Washburne,
Reed and Rankin have taken more adj
Vanced grounds on the situation than
chairman Butler occupies, but it is
certain that a majority of the ex7cu-
tive committee will sustain this action
and it will meet with the hearty in
dorsement of the south and large ma
Jority Of the populists in the west and
northwest 1t is unfortunate, as the
committee says, that the Democrats
could not see their way clear to ac-
complish the withdrawal of Sewall and
substitute Watson. AS it is the COM
mittee has perhaps pointed the only
way out of the difficulty and their ac-
ton will doubtless be supported and
adopted by all loyal Populists.

NOTES AND COMMENT.
Flashes of Thought Inspired by Passing
Events.

Flashes of Thought Inspired by Passing
Events.
The preamble to the Peoples party
platform declares that "The influence
of European money changers has been
more potent in shaping legislation
than the voice of the American peo-
ple'' While this charge is very bold,
it's truth cannot be denied. Thousands
of millions of dollars in railroad stocks
and bonds, and other corporations IN
this country are held by British capital
lists, and in Congress and state legis-
latures paid lobbyists are kept to in
fiuence CD friendly, and defeat adverse
legislation.
No intelligent person will deny that
millions of dollars are spent annually
to corrupt our law makers, our excel
tives and the courts of this country.
Political parties are usually divided
upon matters of public policy. AS a
result a small minority holds the bal
ance Of power. This is the leverage
upon which the lobby works. The
two parties divided upon question a
small fraction of one party assisting
the other is able to enact such legisla-
ton as the lobbyists demand. Then
comes the power of the corporations,
trusts and other combines that assist
each other in securing special legisla
ton. Both the tariff and silver cues
tons are recent examples of how the
will o. the people is thwarted.
There are two remedies for this evil.
One is an aggregation of independent
voters-the larger the better-to coun-
teract the influence of the regular par
ty minority vote; and the other is di-
rect legislation. If this independent
vote. representing protest from the
people against evil and corrupt legisla-
ton is large enough to check the inf1u-
ence of the lobby it is usually effective.
But the better plan would be by direct
legislation-a system which the Peo-
pies party demands By this means
men vote upon issues without regard
to party. No party success is involved
in their vote and hence they are more

KnickerbOckerS.

The clubs are beginning to liven up
a bit and shake off their summer air
of sleepiness. Their members are COM
ing back with tales of travel to make
envious men who have stayed in town.
The man who walks into his club now
in knickerbockers attracts no particular
attention. A year ago such costume
in a metropolitan club would have
subjected the Wearer to a good deal
of guying. In the cafe of a Fifth ave-
nue. club one night last week were
three middle-aged men seated around
a table, and each of them wore knick-
erbockers. One man had just returned
from trip through Ireland, another
had been touring Switzerland, and the
third had returned from a long bicycle
trip in this country.-New York Let

RAND Growth of Cities.

More than one-third of the entire pop
ulation of these United States now live
in cities. In some states it is much
greater; in Massachusetts, 20 per cent;
in New York, 60 per cent; in Connect
cut, "a per cent; in New Jersey, 81
per cent. In 1880 there were but six
"cities"-i. e., having a population of
more tban S,OOO-in 1890 there were AS
such G les. In 1910 there were but
three les with more than 100000 in
habita is; in 1890 there were twenty
eight such cities In 1870 there was
no city having 100000 Inhabitants;
in 1890 there were three such citlrs.
In 1896 the new New York is estimated
to contain 100000 inhabitants, or
hearty as many as the thirteen United
States when George Washington took
the oath of office as first president
Scribner's for October.

There is perhaps not man living in the
whole State Of Illinois who is so grateful and
happy today as I. B. Nolen of Urbana.
Not only does he owe his own life, but that
of his wife and children, to tho Indians
wonderful skill and sagacity. He, like
thousands of others who have passed through
similar experiences, realize that their escape
from death, or life of q miserable invalid,
has been due to that greatest of medicines =
originated and used for centuries by the
Indians, to which they, too, owe their proverb-
ial longevity and perfect health, Kickapoo

Recently Mr.. Watson held confer
cnce, at st. Louis, with three members
of the National Executive Committee.
The result of that conference has been
published to the country. 1t is proper
to say that the conference was timely
and the result was satisfactory TO MT
Watson and should be accepted by his
friends. The time has arrived when
the people demanded some action by
the men whom they had made man
ayers of the campaign. Dlscontent IN
the ranks was growing and revolt was
rife in several states. The cause OF
most of this dissension grew out OF the
double-tailed presidential ticket. While
there was much opposition manifested
at st. Louis to the nomination OF Mr
Bryan. all or nearly all were wiling 10

Gratis would do so in good faith. rms
was the feeling when the delegates lett

was also spreading in otner staseS
where fusion on Sewall electors was IN
nroqress or had been made. Hence
tho conference between three OF the ma
tional oxecutive committee came IN the
nick of time.
The committee declares its purpose
to remain loyal to Mr.. Bryan 1t also
announces it's purpose to keep rlSht
in line with the action of our national
convention" AS to Mr.. SeWalls With
drawal the report givenout by the COM
mittee says: I'VE have formally MADE
our request for that. The democrats
do not see their way clear to grant 1t.
The responsibility Of the result rests
with them. Had Mr.. Watson been sub
stituted for Mr.. Sewall and the silver
forces thus united upon one set OF can
didates representing both sides, fusion
in every state would have been need
Ices and we could have concentrated
orr efforts upon electing the union
ticket This would have brought out
tho entire silver vote and would have
made Bryan's election sure. AS to the
c;tuation in Kansas and Colorado the
committee says: THE situation in
those two states is unsatisfactory to our
neonIe. A proper division of electors
,,,re+ he made in them or our full party
xoto cannot be secured for Bryan. Our
committee cannot recognize the action
of the Populist state authorities IN any

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Fifteen republican Senators vot-
ed for the free coinage substitute
for the House bond bill, which
pas ed the Senate by a vote of ~
10 80 and three republican Sena
tors who would have voted for it.
Hansbrough, of n. Dakota, Du
bois, of Idaho, and Wolcott, of
Colo, were paired. AS there is
no possibility that the substitut.
can become a law the only inter
est attached to the matter was the
record made by the vote. With
the exception of Senator Cameron.
of Penn, all of the republicans are
believed TO have voted in accord
ance with the views of majority
of their constituents.
