'TRG Indiana Plan.

The conference of popnlists held
in this city last week was Il nota-
BILE gathering in several particu-
lars. 1t had some private bust
ness to transact, and it did it. The
city reporters were excluded from
the room and when the work was
done, none of the hundred or more
present so far forgot themselves
as to give the proceedings any
publicity, and the reading public
is in biissful Ignorance today of
business done that will be trans
mitted to the party membership
through the machinery of the par
ty. This demonstrates q strength
Of organization that speaks well
for the personel of those attend
ING the conference.
But more creditable even than
this was the manner and spirit in
which they rose equal to the cmcr-
gency and without bitterness to-
ward each other on account Of diff
ferences of opinion regarding COM
plications of the late campaign,
they showed to enemies who want
ed our forces to waste their
strength in afamily row, that there
was no hatchet to bury and no Sc
rious clement of discord in our
ranks. The one or two persons
who came with a ''rule or ruin"
spirit, soon found they were no
match for the brave men who wore
sears won in many a hard fought
battle with the enemy, and who
were in no mood to tolerate pro-
ceedings inspired by envy.
The Indiana plan is broad in
spirit, catholic in its tolerance, and
yet fully recognizes the necessity
of pushing with all vigor the Or
ganization of the Peoples party,
free from entangling alliances and
in strict accord with the princi-
piles laid down in the last recog-
nized utterance of the party-the
St. Louis platform.
Briefly stated, ''The Indiana
Plan" embraces, LIST The forming
Of populist clubs and perfecting
local and county organizations
wherever practicable, and, End:
Where such complete organization
is impossible, it is to be the poll
cy of populists to organize any
and all kinds of clubs or orders,
or debating societies where econo-
mic principles may be discussed,
to the end that populist views and
ideas may find an entrance into
neighborhooods otherwise unap-
proachable.
This plan cannot be too warmly
commended, and it IS hoped the
coming winter months will be ful
ly occupied in extending organi-
cations along both lines as circum-
stances shall decide are most de-
sirable in the various localities.-

THE GRANDEE SPIRIT: Eor
centuries after the destruction of
the Roman Empire by the Goths
and Vandals, the human intellect
was almost benumbed. Until the
Renaissance and the Reformation
a pail Of darkness was over all;
the mobiles being almost as un-
trained as their serfs, and the serfs
being utterly crushed by those Of
nobler blood. Humanity in Eu-
rope lay like a giant chilled by the
cold. But since that time stimu-
Iation of thought has caused the
great heart of the world to throb
with increasing power, till the life
OF common humanity thrills, in
large measure, even those most
separated by birth and wealth.
Each age has had its peculiar
characteristic; ours is the 'sPeo-
pies Age" But against the ten
dency of the people to think and
act, hope and accomplish, the
proud and stubborn spirit of
Spanish Grandeelsm has stood
forth with ferceness. Yet Just as
Canute 7 by his sword could not
mold 4 the sea in subjection nor Mrs.
harrington 4. sweep back the waves
with her broom, so no dynasty or
power, even hoar with age and
crusted with heroic deeds, can
withstand successfully, by narrow
minded repression, the rising tide
ct human aspiration. If it turn a
deaf ear to the cry of the poor for

COLONIAL POLICY: | fea

COLONIAL POLICY: l fear
if we look back at the conqaests OF
three or four centuries ago, when
constant tidings of new continents,
wealth, etc., fired mems advcntu,
rous souls, the skirts of no nation
will be found entirely free from
innocent blood. With a few no.
table exceptions, in spots, like
Rhode Island under Williams,
Pennsylvania under Penn, and
Maryland under Calvert, cruelty
and illiberality have almost univer-
sally accompanied the work Of es-
tablishing a new colony. But
gentler times have brought gent
ler methods; and various nations
seem now to vie with each other in
the liberality and excellence of
their colonial policies. Take En-
gland for an instance. Its illiber-
al Treatment Of its most valuable
possession, now the United States,
has entirely passed away /; SO that
at the present it is practically true
that many small possessions in va
rious parts are better ruled, better
prospered, and stronger as depen-
denotes than they would be as sepa-
rate and Independent governments.
The policy of England and of 9TH
er nations who try to rival her in
colonising activity, is to look only
for Indirect results from good gov
ernment. Internal development is
aimed at with the confident hope
that the resulting prosperity will
react favorably to the home coun-
try by reason of increasing trade,
etc. But Spain's policy has re-
mained unchanged while other ma
tons have marched onward. AS
| said in last weeks letter, her
colonies have always been regarded
as fair prey to be stripped Of eve
rything valuable that was compact
and transportable. The fierce
greed Of Cortez and Pizarro is ap-
parently unchanged. Whatever
positions of power were open for
filling, have seemed to be regarded
as the rightful heritage of the
Spanish nobility without any re-
gard as to fitness, or the benefit of
the country they ruled over. In
direct gain from the development
of a colony has never been regard
ed with such favor rs the direct
results by squeezing out taxes and
farming out productive positions.
This is simply another evidence of
the mad spirit of self-destruction
that has possessed Spain. The in
evitable result has been the loss
one by one since the end of last
century of the very jewels of her
diadem Of empire.

hope, the cry will not die out but
it's pleading tone will be turned
into the fierce and fateful growl of
u cornered beast. Thus has it
been with Spain. Far moro Or
ganized and dangerous than Nihi-
lism in Russia, Is Anarchism in
Spain. The Kingdom is so thor
oughly honey-combed with the
sentiment Of a lawlcss breaking
down Of the government, that the
men in power try constantly to di-
vert public thought from home af
fairs, and are glad of anything in
foreign lands that will form safe
outlet for the combative spirit.
They are under the hopeless neces-
sity Of watching and guarding
against the home population as
thoroughly as they would have to
watch an invading army. ! believe
| am safe in saying, not even ex-
cepting Russia, that no other ma
tion IN Europe but Spain is in this
anomalous condition. 1t stands
revealed before the world as a ma
tion that has not controlled tho
growth of hope and thought, but
withstood it instead with the in
evitable disaster coming nearer
every day.

AGRICULTURAL UNPROG-
RESSIVENESS About the be-
ginning Of the 10Th century Spain,
possessed of religious fury
very adroitly mingled with greed,
expelled the Jews and the Moors
and confscated their property. BY
SO doing it inflicted as severe a ma
tional injury to itself as France
did when it drove out the Huge
nots, stripping itself of it's best
farmers and mechanics, tradesmen
and merchants, In 1909, if my
memory serves me right, Spain
gave a further fatal blow to itself
by expelling all the Christianized
Moors. As a result up to the
present, agriculture, the necessary
basis of national prosperity, is
very undeveloped. The most pri-
NATIVE instruments are still IN use
and great regions that'theMoors had
made productive have fallen back
to wildness. Similar short-sight-
edness characterized her abroad.
When Pizarro landed in Peru the

even pierced mountains in order

HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.-B Bring
children up to sleep in the dark, as it
is much better for their eyes, the COM
plete darkness being an entire rest.
Dark green or blue curtains are the
best for bedrooms, and they should be
drawn across the window to prevent
the glare of the morning light falling
too strongly upon the eyes. Never
place child's bed opposite window,
as the bright light falling upon the face
in sleep is exceedingly bad for the
sight.
The sugary crust on the top of a
bakers sponge cake is caused by dredg.
ing the cake thickly with powdered
sugar. The reason why sponge cake
is tough is often because it was baked
too rapidly. Use the juice of half a
lemon in it and allow a quarter of an
hour longer for the baking. Cheap
water sponge is generally tough unless
it has lemon juice added to it, and it
should be very carefully baked.
A hot bath taken on going to bed is
better cure him for insomnia than
many drugs.
The correct way to drain wet um,
brella is to stand it handle down. II
put the other way the dampness re-
mains in the center. where all the wa
ter collects and very soon rots the
covering.
White spots upon vanished furni-
ture will disappear if hot plate be
held over them.

DON'T GIVE UP.-A gentleman trav-
cling in the northern part of Ireland
heard the voice of children and stopped
to listen. Finding that the sound
came from a small building used as a
schoolhouse, he drew nearer. AS the
door was open, he went in and listened
to the words the boys were spelling.
One little fellow stood apart, looking
very sad. "Why does that boy stand
there ?" asked the gentleman.
"Oh, he is good for nothing" replied
the teacher. "There's nothing in him.
He is the stupidest boy in school,"
The gentleman was surprised at this
answer. He saw that the teacher was
stern and rough, that the younger and
more timid scholars were nearly crush
ed. After few words more to them,
placing his hand on the head of a
little fellow who stood apart, he said,
Zone of these days you may be a fine
scholar. Don't give up; but try, my
boy, try"
The boys soul aroused. His sleep
ing mind awoke. A new purpose was
formed. From that hour he became a
fine scholar. 1t was DR.. Adam Clarke.
The secret of his success is worth
knowing: "Don't give up; but try,
my boy, try"
