PcUcr wants a New Party.

Evidently the populist Senator PETER
Of Kansas doesn't think there is any fu-
ture for the populist party. In an inter-
view in the Washington Star day or two
ago he said he thought all who believe
in free silver coinage ought to get to-
gether in their respective states and elect
delegates to a convention called for the
purpose of forming a new party. He is
satisfied that the silver republicans and
popuhsts will not again help the demo-
Gratis in their effort to elect a President,
and, therefore, If a new party is not
formed, having for its object the free coin
age of silver, the silver forces will be
divided in 1900. and will stand no chance
of getting control of the government.
Senator PETER seems to think it would
be an easy matter for the popullsts. sill
yer republicans and silver democrats to
come together and form a new party.
From his point of view the populsts are
ready to give up everything for which
they have been contending. except free
silver, and that the silver democrats and
silver republicans are willing TO do the
same thing.
If such a convention as he suggests
should be convened he would be surprised
at the differences that would crop out
differences so radical that it would be
about impossible to harmonic them. The
silver republicans would want declarations
in the platform of the proposed
new party other than that for free
silver coinage, and so would the silver
democrats and the populists. AS a mat
ter of fact, the populists don't care so
much about free silver coinage as they
do about some other things in their plat
form. 1t is probable they would much
rather have an unlimited issue of paper
money than free silver coinage. In any
convention that might be called for the
forming of a new party they would insist
upon a recognition of the chief declara-
tions of their platform, and that would
make trouble at once.
We do not think Senator PETERS sugges-
ton will be adopted. He hasn't a great
party. He is not consulted by them and
his wishes have very little weight with
them.
The democratic party is not dead, though
Senator PETER seems to think it is. 1t is
very much alive, and before the next
national contest it will be fully reorgan-
lied. Its leaders will not he the men who
led it in the last campaign, and who, at
Chicago, made such great concessions to
the populists that it was difficult to recog-
nize it, after that convention, as that
grand old party so often trusted by the
people.
The democratic party doesn't want
new name 1t is satisfied with the name
it has, but it does want leaders other than
those who were its managers in the re {.
cent campaign. With the right kind of
leaders and a platform containing genu-
inc democratic doctrines it would stand
a much better chance of carrying the
election in 1900 than would a mongrel party
such as Senator PETER wants established

The outcome of the trial of Solomon
Zeigler at Sylvania, is probaly not what
the testimony would seem, to persons at a
distance to justify. Still it is the verdict
of the court, and therefore Of the law, and
hence it is the duty of good citizens to
abide by and uphold it. AT the same time
it is the duty of such citizens to strive to
bring about a healthier public sentiment
with regard to crimes of violence. There
should be no revival of the Brooker-Zeig-
Ter feud, and no more defying of the Off
GERS of the law. Solomon Zeigler, by the
way, is still not clear of the law. He is
under indictment, together with William
Walker, for the murder of George Belling-
er, the colored man concerning whom
Sheriff Booker and the elder Zeigler quar-
relied and fought.

modern warfare is vastly different from

century ago was When war comes now.
it is without warning or time for prepara-
ton. High power guns, electricity and
dynamite do their work almost as quickly
as a bolt of lightning. France surren-
dered at Sedan only forty days after war
was declared. China was found without
defended ports or an adequate navy. and
was defeated in a few months. Similarly
short campaigns are to be expected when
ever great nations meet in war. The ma

outset is at terrible disadvantage

is an ugly cripple and penniless; never

WHOLESALE INCENDIARISM
An Arkansas T0wn Almost Wholly De.

II the Firebugs Are Caught There VIII Be
No Cause to Complain of the
Laws Delay

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, July 1S-Mal-
vern, Ark, at the junction of the Hot
Springs railway, was almost entirely
wiped out by fire at an early hour this
morning.
Malvern was city of about 5000 in
habitants. the business portion of the
place being clustered about the railroad
station. All this section was destroyed,
only three business houses remaining.
The fire was, without doubt, the re-
suit of plot to destroy the town. The
blaze broke out about midnight in three
different places, and as there was no
apparatus the fire burned itself out.
Four men are under arrest charged
with starting the fire. and the people of
the town are in such a state of excite
ment that there is strong probability
of the incendiaries being summarily
dealt with.
The principal losses are: E. r. Ad-
ans, $4,000, fully insured; Hughes &
Moray, $4,000, pa<ly insured; W. H.
Cooper 6 Bro. $4,000; insured H. H.

was lynched, but white tramp came
near forfeiting his life in an endeavor to
flch money from the excited citizens.
He remarked in a crowd that for the
consideration of $500 he would reveal
the identity of the firebugs. He was
promptly arrested, with the remark that
he would divulge the information at d
more reasonable figure. Somebody pro-
cured a rope and the crowd seized the
tramp and proceeded to string him up
to force the information from him, but
he then protested that he knew nothing
about the crime and begged piteously
for his life. Heand pal were then
locked up Every tramp or suspicious
character found around the town was
arrested. -Four men, two white and two
negroes, are believed to have been i'm
plicated in the crime, and 1t seems they
went about their work in a systematic
manner. The fire was first started
in cottage in the suburbs about o'clock
last night The blaze attracted the at
tention of the people, and while efforts
were being made to eXtinguish it, the
torch was applied to the business por-
| ton of the city in several places simul-
| taneously, and before the people were
hardly aware of it the whole town was in
| flames.
When the fire had burned itself out
| the only business house left standing
was that occupied by Berger's store
Every effortis being made to apprehend
| the incendiaries, and if positive evidence
against any of the men under arrest
can be secured there is hardly a doubt
that they will be 1ynched if not even a
more horrible punishment is meted out
