A VANISHING PARTY.

The public letter of Ex-Governor Boies
of Iowa declaring his opposition to the
silver plank of the Chicago platform is
another evidence of the rapidity with
which the fusion party of 1895 is disinte-
grating into its original elements. Many
OF the strongest Populist leaders have al
ready broken away, and the detection of
such Democrats as the Iowa leader will
soon reduce the formidable com bination
Of last year to a mere faction consist!nG of
Mr.. Bryan and few personal followers
The disintegration was not unexpected.
In fact there was no cohering power in
the com bnaIion at the start. 1t was held
together during the campaign only by the
excitement of the canvass. The alliance
was purely Fictitious one arranged by
politicians for temporary advantage,
and never had in il the elements out of
which enduring organizations are made.
That it should 60 to pieces was inevitable,
and there has been no surprise anywhere
over the revolt of Watson and the middle
oi-the-road Populists, nor over the newly
announced detection OF Boies, who at Chi
cago was one OF the most prominent can
didates for the Presidential nomination.
The Governors letter, while remarka-
bic IN some respects, is not likely to have
much effect in politics outside his own
State. Boies is too old to be a strong can
didate for the Presidency in 1900. His
political career is about over, and it can
make little difference to the country at
large what he does or leaves undone so far
as National issues are concerned. The
letter, however, will have It's influence IN
Iowa, and will materially weaken the la
boriously arranged com bination OF Demo-
Gratis, Populists and free silver RepubI-
cans in the State campaign. 1t makes the
Republican walkoyer more certain still,
and carries new confusion into the fu-
sion camn.

FOES IN WAR. FRIENDS IN PEACE.
Atlanta journal.

Atlanta journal.
The possible appointment of General Long
street as United States Commissioner of Rail-
roads, 10 succeed General Wade Hampton
develops the fact that the Republican Presi-
dents with whom ne crossed swords most
fercely during the war were the ones that
were the kindest TO him af,er Gettys burg, and
the quickest 10 give him lucrative appoint
ments
First came Ulysses s. Grant, who was the
second President of the country after peace
between the North and South had been de-
clared. He had fought against Longstreet in
the bloody battles of the Wilderness, and the
wounds that the gallant Confederate general
had received in that fight were hardly healea
when he received from old enemy in arms
the appoin tment as the Surveyor oil the Port of
New Orleans.
To this day does General Longstreet carry
the MARKS of the Wilderness in his throat and
shoulder. Nevertheless, after so fierce a
struggle, how quickly was the bravery and
vRlor Of the general recognized by Grant
against whom the full force of Longstreet's
powers were directed.
Then came Hayes, whom Longstreets sturdy
lines had so severely wounded at Champions
Gap in that memorable Maryland campaign
These two were deadiest enemies in war, but
dearest friends in peace, for Hayes sent Long
street as Minister to Turkey
After Hayes came Garfield, who oppos ed
General Longs treet at Snodgrass Hill ana
HdBeQ dShAhS III III OAS VI the utIceal HRQlS
OF the war. Thew, too, were the greatest
friends after the country had become settled,
and Longstreet was recalled from Turkey ana
appointed as Marshal for the northern ais
trict OF Georgia.
When President Mckinley gives the old gen.
eral an appointment he will have rounded out
I he list; Tor against him, under General Burn
side, at Anuetam, Longstreet, on the Confed-
crates left and center, fought so stubpornly
and we'll that the fight became historical.
These appointments all tend TO show how
high is the regard for one of the greatest OF
the Southern commanders in the late struggle
between the States. and only confirms the
statement that the hercest aud most stubborn
fighters OF the war have since been the fastest
and dearest friends.
No battle sound
Is heard the country round.
Not since 1865. anyhow, when Lee surren-
dered and the wild, ctvil war was at an end
The years that have ensued have beheld the
warning sections of those memora BILE and
bloody sixties wiping out the evidences of the
strugge ana building up the nation on firm
bedrock OF universal peace.

FRATERNAL DEPARTMENT,
The Entertainment, Fish Pond and
Social Given by the Daughters
of NIonteZuma

The Daughters OF Montezuma, Degree of
Pocahontas, had a delightful function last
Monday night in Ruby Hall, in the Red Mems
building. There as good attendance, but
majority Of those present early in the even
ing were OF the gentler sex, because at the
time of the opening of the entertainment the
warriors and braves who usually attend the
functions of this council were in their wig
vans in other parts of the building chasing
palefaces with view to capturing and max
ing Red Men of them. But later in the even
Ing they came from the wigwams and joined
in the fun and frolic in the hail where the
Daughters were assembled.
There was presented as an Introductory
number a song and dance by Jennie Metzler
Erman, a little Tot of SIX years, whose sweet
voice and coquettish ways were productive of
many ordinations of admiration IRON the
audience, such as 'tAin't she cute?" "What
pretty child" and others that were most fiat
tering. Then there was dancing and the
drawing of big and little fish from the pond,
and in the latter there were, as usual, many
misfts gentlemen drawing srtic es which
they could not use and ladies catching shay
ing-mugs, suspenderS and the like. This was
productive of much amusement ana then foi-
lowed an exchange of FISH. During the even
ing there was vocal solo by Miss Title
Swenske, a French song by Mrs. Goldwaithe
and other numbers, which did much toward
making the evening an enjoyable one.
