SENSIBLE.

w. S. Morgan says, In the Arkansas
"BuZZ-Saw:"
We are told by men who have the op-
portunity to know, and men in whom
we have confidence, that Barker is an
able man and an honest man. We have
no serious objections to a long campaign
as 1T is matter of education, and as we
must conduct campaign Of education, a
long campaign might be best. But we
don't believe in jumping at conclusions
and whatever is done shall be done
with due caution, with as little friction
as possible, and with the certain KNOWLEDGE
or knowing we are right and then go
ahead
Now that is sensible; and it comes
from one of the most radical men in the
United States, and one of the ablest.
We like radical man, provided he does
not get across the fence into the camp
of the lunatics Id.

THE ALLIANCE F. A. AND L. U. con-

To BE Held at st. Paul, January O

In another column we print the call
Tor convention of the Alliance at st.
Paul January and 7. 1898: with pro-
gram of exercises.
We understand that delegates from
the old, open Alliances will be made
welcome. We hope that there will be
a general attendance from all parts Of
the state. The occasion will be very
pleasant one, and the reduced railroad
rates will be temptation.
We would suggest that an informal
meeting Of the Populists might be held
at the same time; not to transact bust
uess, but for discussion and to rally our
people, and prepare for the campaign OF
1893. Let a proper call be made. l. D.

WHAT sFJSION" HAS DONE.

st. Ansgar, Iowa, Sept. ID, 1897.
Hon. l. Donnelly, Minneapolis, Mimi:
Dear Brother-Please send me full
statement to date. 1 wish the paper
stopped. l can't do as you advocate.
Fusion is honorable because both par
ties are waging war against common
enemy.
Simply because we differ in our ad-
vocacies, that is no reason that one is
thief or traitor or scoundrel.
Yours very truly,
S. V. WORDALL.
We are sorry our course does not
meet the approval of our friend; but let
him look at what fusion does for the
Peoples party.
In Ohio one year ago we had $4,000
votes for Gen. Coxey for governor. This
year we have 5000 for him Why? Be-
cause Populists were taught that ".he
Democrats and Peoples party were wag-
ing war against common enemy" and
that therefore Populists had better aban-
don their own party and vote with the
Democrats!
And they didn't elect the Democratic
ticket while the Peoples party is prac-
tically dead, in the great state of Ohio.
In the meantime Dick Croker and David
8. Hill have control Of the Democratic
party in the state of New York, and
Bryan and free silver are both ignored.
If the Democratic party fills the Till
1t is all right to abandon Populism and
Join the Democratic party. But does it?
one half the Peoples party papers
are now dead; and the party is back
where it started in 1891 If the best
way to advance the Peoples party is
to kill the Peoples party then our
Iowa friend is right; for fusion is do
ing it with wonderful rapidity. Id.

interview occurring in California,

ing been already purchased and
paid for by the United States, that
is, we presume, the right to eX-
elusive occupation, as against any
other nation. But President Nc
Kinley has clearly announced the
policy of unreserved annexation.
Does not Mr.. Cannon intend to
follow that policy! 1t is a policy,
which makes no distinction be-
tween the harbor and the entire
territory of the group. The mem
bers of the Republican party
should be bound to strictly advo-
cate the whole policy of the Presi-
dent, and not the narrow policy
of simply harbor occupation. As
Hawaiians, it is rather presump-
tuous in us to tell the party men
of a foreign nation what their
political duties are. But we hope
that the Press of Illinois, the State
which Mr.. Cannon represents, will
urge him to a more liberal sup
port of the Presidents views. AS
Mr.. Mckinley speaks and acts
openly in favor of annexation, why
should Mr.. Cannon not do it. The
fact that he is Chairman of the
House Committee on Appropria
tons does not hamper him in en-

THE FIELD FAMILY.

We present in another column,
the portrait of DIR. Henry NJ. Field
and sketch of his life taken from
the Rams Horn" noted Meth
odist publication. Few families
in the States, have furnished so
many noted men. 1t was said of
them many years ago, that their
success in life was due to their in
tense intelligent energy. They
organized work, wherever they
found it, and never rested until
they had done that which they
intended to do. The singular
feature of this family is, that each
of its members has distinguished
himself in a field different from
the rest. AS member of the
United States Supreme Court,
Judge Field has done as much as
any one Judge to create confidence
in that great tribunal, which is
more powerful than President or
Congress. David Dudley Field
has given law to the English-speak-
ing world, though his long studies
in codes. He was for many years,
the only American lawyer. whose
reputation extended beyond the
limits of the States. And Cyrus
Field laid the first Atlantic cable.
His friends often quoted this verse,
written by an unknown poet:
when the first message went over
the cable.
"World! what wonder is this.
Grandly and simply sublime.
| All the Ocean abyss
Leaped in second of time"
The students in heredity SHOULD
| be interested in the fact that the
mother of these noted men, haC
remarkably strong traits of char
Iacter. 1t is cumulative evidence
of the fact that if you desire t.
know about the pedigree of any
man of power, study the traits o.

background to this small number
of the agents of our conquest,
stand tens of thousands of pro-
testing natives. They have met in
the churches built by their brown
hands, in honor of our God of
Justice, who notes the sparrow's
fall, to whom we taught them to
pray, and after invoking Him
have raised their pitiful cry of
patriotism for the freedom and In
dependence of their country"

When the Calls speaks OF the
natives 'Spitiful cry of patriotism
for the freedom and independence
of their country" we are wildly
reminded, that in the year '94,
when the patriots were earnestly
called by their white leaders, to
keep step to the death rattle OF the
Monarchy, a public meeting OF the
Royalists was called, to be held In
Nuuanu valley. On the same day
and at the same hour, there was
horse race at Kapiolani park.
We visited both places. We ask
ed a native patriot, why there were
so few at the mass meeting. lie
replied: 'they have all gone to
the horse race" 1t was shortly
after this, that the leading Royal
ist journal editorially declared
that the natives preferred gin and
poi to the good of their country
If YOU wished to hear the ''pitifu
cry of patriotism" you would have
to cut off the ration of gin and poi
1t is probable that a dreadful
sense of remorse, has worked W
the soul of the Call into ragged
flame of religious fervor. No
many years ago, the soil on which
the Call building stands, belonged
to the Spaniards, who were als'
patriotic. This soil was wrestet
from them by American bayonets
