MATING.

I'm states where the committeeman Sc
lected at st. Louis are working for the
advancement of the party on straight
populist lines. the committeeman selected
at the Nashville conference will lend their
aid in every way possible. but in those
states where those trusted with the party
management have gone of after false gods.
Joined with free silverites and fusionists,
to the ignoring of the populist name and
principles, the committeeman selected at
Nashville will proceed at once to separate
the sheep from the goats. This be
easily accomplished by the Nashville COM
mitteemen meeting and appointing state
committee of one from each county dis
trict and these county committeeman APP
pointing precinct and township committee
men In their respective counties, straight,
nOn-fusiOn PopuliSts to go to work reOrgan-
iZing until the whole state is properly
organized. This plan does not antagonize
any one who is a Populist from principle,
but it means death to traitors for what
ever purpose. "-Southern Mercury.
The editor of this paper, Mr.. Milton
Parks, is chairman of the national or
ganization committee.
We are patiently waiting to see the
committee Of three of this state aslee
upon some one of their number, other
than DObbyn, for chairman. If he is
to fill that position the sooner the Nash
vile committee meets and goes to work
the better. They must organize the
whole state and every county in It,
We cannot be led by men who have al.
ready done all they could to destroy
the party. The leopard will not
change its spots nor the Ethiopian the
color of it's skin" Once traitor always

A CRISIS.

Controller EckelS complains that the
greenback is doing bad work for the treas
ury. 1t may be bad for the government,
but it comes in very pat in the Saturday
night envelope. '-Minneap polls Journal.
Such utterances are very encourage
ing. The greed Of the money-lenders
has made them take possession of the
Republican party; and now they de-
mand that there shall be no money in
use except what they furnish and COL
lect Interest on. If the Republican
party accedes to their demand it is dead
and damned: if it does not it is damned
and dead. If the party yields to the
money changers the people will desert

more money for the campaigns, and that
will be the end of the party.

And If the fiat Of government will
make a dollar worth one hundred cents

make a paper dollar, that hadn't any

VOICES OF THE PRESS. ,
portland EXpress.)


The press and people of Maine agree so
perfectly Upon the topic that extended
comment upon the success of Governor
Cleaves' administration seems unneces-
sary. 1t has been a matter of pride
among his friends and neighborS at
home that the verdict of approval has
been set upon him and his public actsl so
universally and so emphatically. He has
not escaped hostile criticism. the man
who assumes important public station
and does his duty therein cannot expect
to do that. Jealousies and petty spite
have exhibited their venom now and then
but thinly veiled attacks have made no
impression either upon the governor him
self or upon the people. who have found
that they can trust him. He has not
sought to make enemies but those he has
made are a credit to him. His public
career has been marked by desire to
serve the public well whether he made
friends or not, and the result has been
that friends have. flocked to him from
every quarter. a result that must ac-
company a straightforward course with
the best interest of the public only at
heart. 1t is great thing to hold the
confidence and respect of the people of
State as Henry B. Cleaves has them of
the people of Maine. Perhaps he has
seen the last of his public service. If
SO ne goes back to his law practice fol-
lowed by popular acclaim. if the people
call him again to public station it will be
with full belief that he can be depended
upon in every emergency, man of the
people who never deserts when duty
calls.

Cuba, in these words: THE other side
of the Atlantic they are working to
prepare a future which is not an agree
able one for the populations of the old
continent, and the European statesmen
ought not to remain Indifferent to these
preparations" OF course that diStin-
guished and now somewhat discredited
politician does not think it pertinent to
mention the fact that on his side of the
Atlantic they are already not manag-
ing affairs agreeably to the ideas of
people on this side of the water. Our
statesmen are not Indifferent to Ar
menia and the pauper population of
Italy and do not propose to have it
dumped on our shores. But just at
present we are quite busy, thank you,
attending to our own affairs and we
would suggest that in this same way

IN. Y. SUM-


Here are three or four questions that
require answers. Until the are an
swered, the history of the Cleveland
administration, in regard to Spain and
Cuba. cannot be accurately or intelli-
gently written.
]. What impulse or motive or ex-
terror influence led Mr.. Cleveland and
his secretary of state to make a sensa-
tional speciality. in the summer of 1895,
of the collection of the ancient Mora
claim against the Spanish government; ;
debt of $1.500.O 900 to which Mr.. Cleve-
land had seemed perfectly Indifferent
during 54 months of his first and second
terms?
II. What impulse or motive or ex-
terror influence prompted the threat
that this nation would proceed to
drastic measures, if this old obligation,
acknowledged by the debtor away back
in December, 1885, was not paid by
Spain at once in the hour of her great
est financial embarrassment?
III. What influence procured the
publication. in newspapers friendly to
Mr.. Cleveland's administration, of the
distinct warning to Spain that unless
she paid over the $1.5OO. 900 in a hurry.
the Cleveland administration would
ask Congress for authority to interfere

Senator Elect Money of Mississippi is
a member of the House committee on
foreign affairs. AT present he is in
Cuba investigating, it is said, and he is
reported to have gone, along with Fitz-
Hugh Lee, Jr., to Guanabacoa to learn
all the grewsome details of the mur-
ders committed there by the Spanish
authorities. If he is really out there
for facts and not to confirm previous
Impressions, and has sufficient knowl-
edge of conditions to be unprejudiced
by the Spanish officials he may succeed
in making his mission valuable. But
even then it must be regarded as one
sided, unless it shall appear that he has
been able to visit within the lines of
the insurgents, which is not probable.
