WHAT WESTERN POPULIsTs HAVE DONE

The Populist party has and always has
had ito greatest strength in the West.
It's only signal successes have come in
that section OF the country. OF the
twenty-four Populists in the next Con-
gress, sixteen come from west OF the
Missouri, and Of this sixteen Kansas
furnishes six, each one Of whom is a
Populist in every sense Of the word. or
the eight Senators who will have seats
in the next United States Senate only
one represents territory east Of the Mis-
souri,. Every one Of the six States elect
ing Populist Governors at the recent
election lie west Of the Big Muddy. In
this section can be found half of the
municipal and local officers elected by
Populists in the entire country, over half
the total Populist vote and at least half
Of the Populist papers, Kansas alone hsv-
ing l26 Populist papers. These are the
States which contain the people who
have built up and maintained the new
party. These are the people who will
maintain it in the future. Attempts
seem to be being made by designing per-
sons who represent no considerable por-
tion Of the Populists Of their States, or
States which contain practically no Pop
ulist votes, to ignore this section in dis
cussing matters Of party policy. These
people object to Populists in Eastern
and Southern States admitting to their
councils, men from Western States who
openly fight the action Of the party and
who represent no portion Of the army Of
Populists in the West. II Eastern and
Southern Populists wish to affiliate with
Western Populists it will be as we'll to
recognize Populists who have a stand
ing with men who vote the party ticket.

which an explosion Of q lock or the sink

ever been attempted on the people OF the
United States than the notion that the
Nicaragua canal would be useful to

use it as military road, we should have
to have navy Of the largest size at each

majority in the Legislature. The Popu-
lists had the balance Of power, however
Congressman Skinner (POp.) managed,
however, to line up seventeen Populists
and vote them for Pritchsrd and he was
reelected. The Populists are naturally
dissatisfied with the action of their Rep
resentatlves in assisting in the election
of gold standard advocate to the
Senate. A very surprising feature ofthe
affair was the announcement that Tom
Watson had telegraphed congratulations
to Mr.. Skinner, when Pritchard was
elected. or course it is we'll known that
Watson is unfriendlY to Butler, but il his
lack Of friendship has reached the point
that he can rejoice over the election Of
gold standard Republican Senators, it

THE NICARAGUA CANAL PROJECT.

The bill providing for the construction
Of the Nicaragua canal will not become
a law during the present session OF Con-
gress.
While everybody comedies the COM
mercial Importance Of waterway across
the Isthmus large enough to float the
largest ships, the opposition to the bill
now before Congress is positive and the
reasons are cogent and numerous One
class Of objsctors base their opposition
on constitutional grounds, Others plead
lack Of funds. Still others oppose all
schemes which puts the government in
the position Of guarantor for the under
takings of private corporations.
Senator PETER opposes the b i'll on this
ground and also because it proposes that
the government shall construct the canal
through a corporation and then re-
linquish all rights Of ownership in the
work when completed.
Senator Villas Of Wisconsin takes the
broad ground that the scheme outlined
in the bill is imprscticRble because, as he
believes, the work, when completed and
in operation, would have to be au inter
national highway; and hence, he argues,
it's construction ought to be provided
for in treaty stipulstions. And there is
much force in this argument, for, as the
Chicago Commercial Journal says, "no
nation expects to use q canal in time of
war unless it holds both ends so securely
that no fleet but it's own can come near
it. The Suez canal is the only one in
existence which ships Of war can use ct
all, and the treaty of naturalization for
bids acts of hostility in the canal or
within three miles of either end. This
does no harm to any power md ie dis

THE INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM.

The action Of the PopUlist members
Of the Legislature In agreeing to sup
port the amendment to the cOnstitu-
tloa providing for the initiative and
referendum was certainly the proper
thing to do. For years Populist plat
forms in almost every State in the Un-
ion, as well as the National platforms
Of the party, have declared in favor Of
this principle. Lt 1t is not right and
perfectly safe, then 1t must be con-
ceded that the people are not capable
Of governing themselves. II the peo'
pie cannot be trusted to act intelli-
gently on all measures Of general in
terest and Importance, then this State
has reached q point where the people
are no longer capable of self govern
ment. By all means pass this resolu'
tion and submit the proposition to the
people. Let them say whether they
want to continue to do indirectly what
they could just as conveniently, and
much more satisfactorily, do directly.
1t must not be assumed, however, that
If this amendment to the constitution
ls not submitted that It is due to any
failure to redeem their pledges on the
part of POpulist members. In order
to get a proposition to change the con-
stitutlon before the people it requires
a two-thirds vote Of each house. The
resolution has already passed the Sen
ate, receiving the vote Of every Popu'
list and every Democrat. In the House
the silver forces lack seven or eight
votes of having the necessary two
thirds, and If every Republican votes
against 1t, it cannot pass. The vote Of
every silver man In the House will moi
be sufficient tC secure the necessary
thirds. Why these Republicans
should vote against plan to enlarge
the powers Of the people and to de-
crease the power of their servants Is
question that they may have some In
convenience and embarrassment ir
answering to their constituents. II
silver votes would carry the PROPOSE
tlon there is no doubt about what the
result would be. Let the people keeI

BEFORE the Legislature convened
Republican papers were filed with
stuff about what the Populist majority
was going to do. Now they assert that
they are going to do nothing. AS q
matter of tact Republican papers know
absolutely nothing about what the
Populists are or are not going to do,
and 1t is doubtful whether they would
tell the truth about it If they did.

THE ADVOCATE does not know what
would happen to seventeen Populist
members of the Legislature Of Kansas
IL they had by their votes elected q
gold standard Republican to the Sem

necessarily did in North Carolina, but
we incline to the opinion that they
would have been impressed with the
idea that a change Of residence on
their part would be desirable.

the part Of the people to get impatient

HON :. o. ylckERY !


The Industrial Journal OF April 16. had
the following communication from Hon.
P. o. vickery. president Of tho Maine
! Sportsmen's Association:
The following Is an extract firm your
Rangeley correspondent IN your last
weeks issue. The Guides Blii,' 30
called seems to have struck come 80
called sportsmen in the face.
| Nov that the Guides Bill has become
law the guides, most of them. are be-
ginning to settle down to lhe idea that
the best way to do II TO take out a
! license and abide by the seeming obnox-
ious law SO far as they can. Tne effect
that 1t will have on the influx Of sports
men the coming year can not be known
until the c.ose of the season. One party
cided not to come. They say they have
always abided by the game laws to the
fullest extent and they do not want their
guide to be Obliged to report all the
transactions that occur while In camp"
Any sportsmen who are not willing to
have report made Of the fish they catch
and game they kill are not welcome in
Maine. Their room IL better than their
coming TO Maine is very large. and II the
Guides Bill has the effect OF wedding out
those spJrtsmen % who come to Maine
with a f!y-rod to kill moose. caribou and
protecting our game viii be the result.
We have fish and game in plenty. and
1t Will continue so. II we can suppress
lawlessness. 1.-The Guides Bill" is worth
more in enforcing our game laws than
would be an appropriation of $4,000 for
warden service. No honest guide will OBJ
ject to the Guides Bill, nor will any
honest sportsmen object to 1t. What dis
honest guides and sp0rtsmen think of 1t
those having the responsibility of enfOrc-
ing the game and fish laws. do not care.
The Illegal killing Of game around the
Rangeley lakes In September has become
fact which no one can deny. A friend
of mine two years ago went around two
OF these lakes. and he said you could not
go far without seeing the decayed car
cess of a deer.
The Guides Bill is a bulwark of
strength to an honest guide. II he is
guiding sportsman in September on a
fshing trip. and the sportsman 90 wishes
to shoot deer, the guide can assure him
that he shall have to report 1t II he does.
or be barred from doing any more guild
ing for one year.
In conclusion. Mr.. Editor. l repeat:
That II those seven sportsmen (J are
afraid to have their catch of fish or
amount of game killed reported. we have
no use for them in Maine. or any other
sportsmen like them. There will be
plenty of honorable sportsmen to take
their places. p. O. VICKERY.
