In the National Magazine for March'
published by the Bostonian Publishing
Company. of Boston. there is a story en-
titled. Her Roses" by Harry Darbers.
The National has been "iakei' as the
story In question is bold plagiarism OF
"Miss Dangeres Roses" by Thomas Mel
son PAGE. which appears in THE Burial
OF the Guns" issued and copyrighted by
the scrlbners. The names are changed
but the plot is not, and much OF the YER
bage has not been altered at all. Al
times Tom Pages dialogue is copied YER
batim. The National deserves to be
nulcted in damages for having an editor
who is unacquainted with one OF me
hest stories in one of the most delight
ful books Of modern fiction.

Populism and democracy are two ele.
ments which year ago were highly
susc eptible to fusion. A wear. how.
ever, brings around different chain OF
circumstances and now. whene yer a con.
vention of silvery nature meets. there
is sure to be an eruption of the great
triumrirate, which includes also the
free silver republicans. The Iowa
mlddle-o'-the-r populists have gone
out for themselves and named straight
ticket. In the convention ex-senator
Peter denounced the fusion by showing
that real populism and democracy have
little in common, in that democracy
opposes the greater principles OF popu-
lism 10 the way of franchises which
includes means Of transportation. tele-
graph, telephones, the great coal mines
and forests, and the same doctrine ap-
piled locally to water works, street
railways, etc. in cities. On these
propositions the parties are at variance.

Watersown Public Opinion:

Watertown Public Opinion: No
small portion OF the press in the country
towns are crying out against these
cheap excursions" to the Twin Cities.
The connections is that the large mer.
chants Of the Twin Cities desire the
railroads to get I'd cheap excursions
from surrounding towns to ST. Paul and
Minneapolis in order that they may sell
goods TO the people who take adyau-
tage OF the cheap railroad rates. The
Twin City papers have been clamorine
for more of these excursions. alleging
that the ST. Paul and Minneapolis mer-
chants sell thousands of dollars worth
OF goods to the excursionists. For
every dollar that is expended in these
larger cities the smaller merchants in
the smaller towns through which these
excursion trains pass and where they
take on passengers, the local mer-
chants is the loser to the extent of the
profits on the goods bought. This is a
rule. TO which there may be exceptions,
but it is because OF this that the
country press is crying out against
these cheap excursions
