GOV. WAITE HAS CHANGED.
Has Lost Faith in Populism and the
Laboring Glasses.

Denver Aug. H.-Ex-Gov. Davis H.
Waite, who is in Denver in the inter-
ests of the land department of the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Rail-
way company, is no longer member
of the Populist party. He has said this
since his arrival repeatedly and firmly,
if sadly.
Il am no longer in politics" the ex-
governor said. Il have no faith in
the Peoples Party as it is constituted.
the Omaha platform. It1ooks to me as
if the reforms needed in this country
would not come from the Peoples Par
ty. When the leaders and officers OF
a party deliberately refuse to support
the nominees of that party not much
good can be expected from it. l was
will of the people in any party as ex-
pressed in convention or otherwise
should be respected by its leaders but
that has not been the case recently,
and that is why believe the party has
ceased to be useful.
II believe Bryan was elected, and the
election was stolen by Hanna and his
friends. Bryan, in my estimation, is
the most anxious for reforms of any
public man before the country today.
He is honest and conscientious, and
able, but 1 believe he will be defeated
for the nomination in the Democratic
party Already the gold power is at
work to capture the party.
mo: 1 do not expect much from the
Republican party. Hanna will be sue
cessful in Ohio and that means that
the gold power will continue in control
and that silver will be killed.
Mr.. Waite continued:
Il have not much hope for silver. The
middle clasSeS-I depend most on the
middle classes for the reforms that
may come. They are not tied down as
are the laboring and poorer classes.
Last election showed that a man was
compelled to vote as he was directed
or lose his place. The moneyed classes
are getting holder and do not hesitate
to make it known that they require OF
their laborers their votes. When that
was tried in earlier days an effort was
made to hide it. The middle classes
have still some independence left and
what good may be looked for Will come
from them. To tell the truth do not
see much to be thankful for ahead OF
me from any of the parties
II fear the men will lose the coal
strike / don't know much further
than what I have read, but am afraid
the mine owners will wear them out.

in my lecture tomorrow night at the
Trades Assembly, but will deal with
some Investigations I have made in the
south of it's adaptability for homes for
people of moderate means who desire
to find homes and who are not afraid
to work.
mo; it has nothing to do with the
DebS plan. DebS is an enthusiast ana
a philanthropist. He expects to raise
a million dollars from one dollar con-
tributions of poor men for his colony.
am afraid he will not succeed. The
laboring men will not contribute much;
for myself 1 have rather lost faith in
them

WAUKEGAN AFTER 1T.
Committee Appointed to Solicit the
Government Armor Factory

Waukegan, I'LL, Aug. 17.-Waukegan
has decided to enter the race for the To-
cation near here of the big armor-
making plant which the government
contempIates establishing and for
which the armor plate board is now
seeking sites.
There are but two good sites near
Chlcago, those at Waukegan and South
chicago, where good harbors can be
had, coal and iron be bought cheaply
and plenty of land on the lake front be
secured. AT South Chicago land is al
ready very valuable, while here 1000
acres of lake front property can be
furnished cheaply.
Last evening a special meeting was
held to formally present Waukegan as
suitable location for the plant. A
committee was appointed to gather in
formation and statistics to present to
the government board

HER STAGE DAYS OVER.
Soubrette Goes to Bed With a Cigar
cite and is Eaarfullv Burned

New York, Aug. 17.-Bessfe jackson,
who was known as a soubrette to the in
habitantS of the fiat house at 1876 West
Thirty-third street, is at the New York
hospital, victim to the habit of smok-
ing cigarettes in bed. Bessie's back and
chest are badly burned, her head is al
most charred and the physicians say
she has about an even chance to live.
If she RECEIVERS she will be ineligible as
a soubrette.
She gave a card party last night, in
which beer was the predominating re-
treatment. 1t was daylight when the
last OF her guests went home and she
went to bed. She told a story implicat-
ing her housekeeper in a lamp throw
ing diversion, but enough was learned
to establish the fact that Bessie fell
asleep with a lighted cigarette in her
mouth and awoke to find her clothing
ablaZe.

Unique Georgia Organization for the

Winder. Ga, Aug. IA horse
swapping" convention has just con-
c1uded its labors here. 1t met for the
first time, probably, in history, for the
purpose of permitting farmers and
traders to get together and dispose of
surplus stock and fill their various
needs.
As many as 5000 head of stock has
changed hands and many times that
amount of money. The organization
has been made permanent and will hold
a session every year.
The town for the past three days has
presented unique scene of busting
humanity, and the contrast between
the wit of the Georgia farmer and the
practical shrewdness of the trader was
striking. AS many as 1000 visitors
were in Winder during the session, but
they We're not confined to Georgia, for
traders of national reputation were in
attendance and lent a flavor of metro

FOR A BIG NEW CITY.
Plan to Consolidate 100 Jersey Towns

He is a man of imagination and Gre

He tells. about it in a circular now
ready TO be mailed to 100 towns and

he says, preliminary statement of a
plan to amalgamate the towns and cit

to be called New York, New Jersey"
with all that name implies.
The area to be embraced in the new

at point on the North river opposite
the northern line of the Greater New
York, run west to point north of Pat
erSOn, including RidgeWood and Homo
kus, thence south to include the town of
Plainfeld, thence east to the mouth OF
the Rar1tan river, taking in Perth
Amboy.
This territory would embrace over 100
cities, towns, villages and communities
and bring them into one municipality.
They would have one government, a
common purpose and a common ambi-

that in it the people know no river and

would be the fourth in size in the Uni

"A business located now in Passaic
would find itself located in New York,
entitled to the recognition and secur-

accrue from such a result"

BANGOR'S POPULATION.
Mayor Beal Estimates That it Will

and other sources of information to-

ent population of Bangor at not less
the year 1900 the population will con-

considered to be reasonable
These estimates are in decided con-
trast with the figures given by the last
government census, which Gin 1890 al
lowed Bangor a population of only
about $4,000, but it is known that the
census was wide of the mark, for in
