The Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
idol of the middle of the road
Populists, is delighted with the
early start the latter have made,
through their recent st. Louis meet
ing toward barring any more con-
sorting with the Democracy.
There's just one way to resurrect
the Populist party-reorganize from
the ground up, and rigidly exclude
from control every leader tainted
with FUSION" says Mr.. Watson.
And that unquestionably is the log
ical course for the Populist brethren
to take, remarks the Pocatello
Tribune. They never were for silver
and it is good that they have at last
found the courage to come out and
declare that fact. The Democrats
acted in good faith by them, but
they have betrayed the Democrats
and silver men at every turn and
it is good to find it out before an
other campaign opens. Silver men
can now get together and work for
silver without being handicapped
BY q load of office-hungry Populists.

hobart Lindblom, thssmilionairs
grain and stock operator Of Chicago
Who in the late presidential election
supported Bryan, has been barred
BY tho New York Stock Exchanges
The only reason given for hia rejsc'
ton as q member u that Mr. Lind.
blom is not desired" Secretary
Ely of the exchange promulgated
this explanation, and It the same
time denied that the Chicago spec.
ulator had been blackballed because
Of his views on the currency ques.
ton.
It is true, nevertheless, that Mr..
Lindblom was blackballed for this
very reason. The exchange had
an opportunity to display its oppo-
sition to Bryan and bimetallism
and could not resist the temptation
to "put tho screws" on Lindblom.
The Chicago man is we'll known
in New York city, and for 10 years
has held q seat on the Consolidated
Exchange. He is also a member Of
the Produce Exchange of New York
city, the Board of Trade of Chicago,
the Pittsburg Stock Exchange, the
Minneapolis Board Of Trade and
the Milwaukee Chamber of Com
merce. He gave up his seat in the
Consolidated Exchange year ago,
forfeiting all the money he had put
into it, so as to overcome the preju-
dice of the Stock Exchange against
members Of the Consolidated.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Lindblom,
through his New York manager, K.
c. Hibbard, placed $2l 600 at the
disposal of the Stock Exchange,
so that there might be no delay in
the purchase Of his seat. His ap-
plication was filed, but Lindblom
has received no word from the ex-
change authorities. He learned
only yesterday that he had been
blackballed.
Robert Lindblom is a self-made
man. He came to this country
from Sweden during the war, and
as he could not be admitted to the
army because of his eyes, he went
West and entered the grain business
in Milwaukee, subsequently remov-
ing to Chicago. He was one of the
original committee of thirty five
which secured the Worlds Fair to
Chicago by subscribing $1OO, 600 as
q guarantee that the enterprise
would be u success.

Senator Frank J. Cannon gave a
lecture in Salt Lake one night last
week on his observations in the
Orient. In discussing China and
the Chinese, Senator Cannon said
The Chinese are vastly superior to the
people of japan. They are as far ahead
of them, he said, as the Americans are
above the Mexicans. The average China
man has more capacity than any other
average man in the world. 1t is collec
lively that the Chinese are weak. They
can come here, and in the face of the
hardest competition, gain competence
within ten years; aud the 400, 0OO. 900
people Of China will soon make fierce
and almost irresistible competition in the
worlds markets."
Senator Cannon exhibited Is, $50 pieces
Of Chinese money which be said were
equivalent to 81 in American money, and
yet would pay Chinese working man for
a months labor.
.'The servants who accompanied our
patty" he continued, 'lived on l cent
per day, fact which shows how we
would fare in our earnest competition.

Ex-Confederate General Marina
duke of Missouri, who was recently
appointed by the ex-Confederate
veterans of that state az chairman
of committee to write an authentic
history of the part that Missouri
and Missourians took in the civil
war, issued an address to the
ex-Confederates of the state which
has created great sensation in the
ranks of the G. A. R. General
Marmaduke shows in his address
that he is one of the many patriotic
southerners who has never been re-
constructed. The General says:
THE honor and glory of this
great struggle was with the South,
and Southern soldiers ought, in
justice 10 themselves and their dead
comrades. to preserve the memory
of 1t. While the North and North
ern soldiers are inveighing against
all manifestations of sectional feel
ing, they are erecting monuments
to their successful leaders and tell
ing the story very much to their
credit and to our detriment.
1.-THE North had more than four
soldiers to one in the South. It's
armies were reinforced and assisted
by GOO ships of war, manned by
$1,000 sailors. It had unlimited
credit, which meant an unlimited
supply of money. It had factories
to manufacture everything needed
10 arm. equip and to supply and
majptain its armies and fleets.
It bad railroads running in every
direction for the transportation of
ito troops. II bad intercourse with
the whole world and would draw
recruits for its army and navy from
the whole world. The South had
none of these advantages or had
them only to limited extent. Bnt,
