WHERE IS HIS PARTY?

Tom Watson in a pathetic and pie turesque article enquiries of Mary Ann" Butler, chairman of the p6o- ple's party national comm ittee', what he has done with that party. What became of it in the recent election How many votes did it cast?
 Did the populsts win any glory in Kansas? Watson says no. 'Ths y went down in the slime of a common defeat with the democrats, a disgrace full defeat because the fusion betwee l democrats and populists was mere corrupt bargain for the spells of of flee"
 In Nebraska the democrats walked away with everything worth having. The populfsts were snuffed out Colo Tado once elected populist gover- nor. Inns year the populists were torn to shreds and the democrats and republicans had all the glory and the rewards. Where is the populist party in Virginia and Maryland, once prom ising fields? Not a grease spot left in the pam says Tom. It was no diff ferent in Kentucky or in Iowa. The democrats have swallowed them un. In 1893, the year following the presi- demfal election, the peoples party polled two EiilIion votes, and was a strong, aggressive, compact whole with character of it's own and well defined programme Where are those two millions now? Swallowed up as though the earth had opened. Such since the earthquake of Lisbon 9 This is how Tom pursues his quest
 Will some jealous Butlerite please tell us what that eminent fraud has done with the peoples party? Has he lost it? Has he hid it? Has he loaned it out?
 We trusted him with it; it was in good condition when he took it. and now we ask him:
 What have you done with it?
 You are the last one that had It. We want you to account for it.
 In 1892 and 1894 we could turn to the official returns of the elections and tell to man how many populists voted.
 Can you do it now? How many populsts voted i'm Nebraska to give that supreme court judgeship to a democrat?
 You don't know, and nobody on earth does know.
 How many pops voted in Ohio, in Kentucky, in Iowa, in Virginia?
 You don't know. and nobody else does.
 You are chairman of a once great party, are you not?
 How many voters are In your party now?
 You can't answer.
 You miserable failure and fraud you must go back ito the tables of 1892 and 1894 before you can even guess al the populist vote. You can't, to save your worthless life, tell what the strength of your party is today.
 You are a nice fellow for chairman. aint you? You're a good pail bear er-that's about what you are.
 The Bryanites have made fairly complete job of eNtinguishing the pop ulist party by means of their free sil- yer folly, in which, cautiously enough, the populists were never genuine be- lievers. Watson believes the demo- cratic bosses have got about all they wanted out of the silver question They took hold of it for the purpose of destroying the peoples party with it, and with Buffers help and Aliens aid they have pretty well done it

them meet him in his visits TO the

RELIEF IN SIGHT FOR THE SUFFE
RERs FROM CREvAssEs.-As will be
S4en by reference to the proceedings
vt tho Police Jury published in this
issue. that body took action at it's last
session. looking to the extension Of
some aid to the sufferers from ere
vasses in this parish.
We are informed by the President
that he at once put himself in com
municatiOn with the Governor who
gave the matter prompt attention. He
also showed us . copy Of a letter from
e. 8. Engineer D. L. Brainard, to the
Governor, wherein the engineer says
shat he 10 satisfied that many people
in the overlooked districts will be en-
titled to Federal relief and points out
the method of securing same. This
method ia substantially the n adopt
cd bv the police jury and which has
been pursued to n successful issue.
Ere these lines are read by some OF
our readers, all the necessary data IN
connection with the apportionment OF
the relief may be in the hands Of the
Governor. and we trust that it will
not be long before all the formalities
are complied with and the actual
relief extended to the needy crevasse
sufferers.

In commenting on the Senate sugar
ochedule the Star says:
The iniquity of the whole Sugar
Trust scheme is dawning upon Con-
gress. 1t is doubted whether their
proposition, nov that the facts are
coming out, will be able to get even
through the Senate. It is thought
that even some Of those favorable to
the trust will not have the hardihood
to face the prospects Of scandal.
Experts who have been studying the
Senate schedule find it practically
impossible to dig out all there is in it
for the trust, but they find enough to
condemn the whole thing. The very
best available figures on the subject
prove that the Senate compound
duties result in at least~doubling the
differential duty carried by the Ding
ley bill. or even by the present law.
which gives the trust the benefit Of
the advalorem in addition to the speci-
fic 1-8c. The best tariff experts at the
Capitol state the differential duty in
the Senate bill at about 3-4 Of a cent.
The differential of nOminally 1-8c
carried in the present law was re-
garded as very liberal and sent the
sugar stocks up. This d~ifferehtial
was actually greater because Of the ad
valorem duty of 40 per cent. This ad
valorem amounts to IS per. cent in the
Senate bill. If expert opinion is to be
given any value this schedule is Of
almost inestimadie value to the trust.
and is so bad that the surprise is that
they would have the effronterv to
present the proposition

The AYsferious ssassin.

One night. shortly after the cele-
brated battle OF Fontenoy, its hero
| Marshal De SAKE, arrived at little vii
lage in which was an inn with a pc
culiar reputation. 1t was said that IL
this inn there were ghosts who stab
bed or strangled all who attempted to
pass the night in certain room. The
conqueror of FontenOy was far from
being susceptible TO superstitious ter
rOrs, and was ready to face an army
Of ghosts. He dismounted, ate his
supper, and went up 10 the fatal room.
taking with him his arms and his body
servant. His arrangements completed
the marshal went to bed. and was soon
in n profound slumber with his senti-
mel enscOnced in an armchair by the
IRE. About one o'clock in the morn
ing the watcher by the fire. wanting to
get some sleep himself. approached his
master TO awaken him. but to his call
he received no response. Thinking the
marshal soundly asleep. he called
again. Started at the continued sill
ence, the man shook him: the marshal
did not stir AS he lifted his hands
from the form in the bed, the frighten-
ed servant saw that they were red
The marshal was lying in a pool of
blood Drawing down the cover. the
soldier saw strange thing An enor-
nous insect was fastened to the side
or De SAKE, and was sucking at
wound from which the blood flowed
freely. The man sprang to the fire
place. grasped the tOngs, and ran back
to the bed. Selling the monster. he
cast it Tito the flames, where it was
instantly consumed Help was called.
and the marshal was soon out of dan
ger; but the great general. who had
escaped fire and steel for years. had
barely escaped dying of the bite of an
insect. He had found the ghost.
