SsnselesS Abuse.

We regret very much to see the
(position taken by several Of our
leading papers. Several of them
arc abusing leading PopuIists be-
cause they favored fusion in the
Presidential election last year, and
fusion in some States, this fu-
sion or its opposite are questions
of method, not principle. A man
can be a true PopuIist and his
Judgment lead him to favor fusion
in q political campaign, or he can
be a true populist and bis judg'
ment lead him to oppose fusion in
any campaign. 1t is not a ques-
tion of principle, but II question
of expediency, and mems jutlg-
ments differ on this. We think
THAT paper that wants to have a
national influence should not stop
to abuse men ON account of their
judgment on tho best way to con-
duct a campaign. For the sake
of accomplishing the adoption Of
their ideas they should not draw
down the condemnation Of large
mass of people on the actions of
men who have proven BY the whole
course of their lives that they are
honest and sincere refOrmers. They
may not be statesmen they may
not be wise political leaders; they
may be led to believe that half a
loaf is better than no bread, that
Of two evils it IL wise to choose the
lesser, bat these should not subject
them to having the vials of wrath
poured out on them by those who
differ with them in opinion.
We need the help Of every man
who favors the emancipation Of
humanity from the thrswldom Of
plutocrscy. We need the brains
and influence Of mon who arc not
yet fully educated IN the OWLS Of
our present conditions, but We have
men who occupy important places
in the party who are building up
barriers that are keeping our ranks
from receiving the recruits that
should come to us. We should do
nothing that will destroy our own
autonomy, or that will drive hesi-
tating recruits into other camps.
We should stop abuse Of those
who do not look through our spec
taclcs. We should use sugar and
not gall to entice our friends to
union. Men can be persuaded by
argument in kind language who
cannot be driven by abuse. Tho
party must he unified, an! those
who do nothing but sow dissensWn
must he thrown overheard, We
cannot permit men to keep alive
prejudice and discord, and if those
papers and leaders do not ceas"
their work on this line they wi !
draw on themselves the suspicion
that they are the agents of the
enemy kept in our ranks for the
purpose Of multiplying all the work
of the real reforn,crs. History
tells us TINT this was the way Of
plutocracy in the days Of Rome,
and We must Keep an eye on those
whose work is the work Of disintc-
grafton instead Of unit ing. Let
us have peace, and watch the man
who tries to agitato and build up
prejudice

Favor a Constitutional Conven-
ton,


We notice several Populist pa
pers opposing the present call for
a Constitutional Convention, and
urging their readers to vote against
it.
Every Populist in the State and a
great many Democrats are, and
should be opposed to the limita-
tions with which Foster has at
tempted to shsckle a supposedly
free people. Every Populist and
Republican, and some few Demo
cratic Legislators voted against this
curtailment of the rights Of a once
sovereign people.
But when we examine the limita-
tions carefully we find that while
they are a usurpation of power
belonging alone to the people, and
are Il shameful attempt to humili.
ate the voter and perpetuate the
Office. holder, they are Intellectual
and based upon questions which the
people arc now but little interest
ed in.
The limitations are as follows:
To prohibit the changing or in
terferring with
lst. The bonded indebtedness
of the State.
End. The rate of taxation as
now limited by the Constitution.
3rd. The present Levee system
of the State.
4th. The terms of Office OF any

cipal officer, whether elective or
appointive, prior to 1900.
5th. The present terms of Office
or salaries of the Supreme Court.
9Th. The present prohibition Of
Lotteries.
9TH. Removal of the Capitol
from Baton Rouge.
We absolutely fail to see any
good reason in any one Of tbess
restrictions why the call should be
voted down.
True, we would all like to have
Foster and some OF his ring ont Of
office, but before we could hold an
election untler any::new Constitution
their terms would De moro than

down this call they will then Ger.

Answcr-In order tO tan any fur

lows: Cut oil the supcrtluO,,s TMrts
and soak the skin in water for three
to four days. Next remove all
fatty matter on the inner side Of
the skin and lay in water again
(best in running water. If p'ssiblc,)
for IN hour. Then mi ke mix
ture Of cquai parts of borax, salt
peter and glauber-salts (xbout 1-2
or. of each for a goat skin) and
add enough water To make y semi
solid mass, and paint this mixture
on the inner side Of the skin WITH
q brush. Then the fur is fo|dcs'
up with the hairy part on the out
side and put away in cool place.
After twenty-f0ur hours, it is
again washed aud the inside paint
ed with the following: ! 0z. sal
soda /; 1-2 oz. borax and 2 OF. hard
soap, slowly melted together with
out allowing the mass to boil. 1t

four hours more. Next dissolve 4
or. alum, s on. cooking salt and 2
o.. salaratus in enough warm rain
water to cover tho skin, soak tho
fur in this twelve hours more,
wiring it ont and hang mp to dry.
When dry, il is soaked in the last
mixture and dried again and this
repeated until il is sufficiently soft
when dried. The inside is then
smoAhed with fine sandpaper. Al
though this process seems to bc \
long one, the single steps in it are
really quite simple, and if the di.
rections are followed closely, the
