popUL1sr TERMS FOR ~Fus1oN"

IF the democrats will agree to be
bound by the populist policies in this
state, go into the populist caucus and
be bound by its action, then populists
will consider fusion.-Canton Leader.
In other words, "the only use we have
for you democrats is to do what we
please with you in clubbing the other
fellows to death. You are nothing but
a lot of dumb-hea any way, and we
will have nothing to do with You I'M
less we can drive you like cattle to
their slaughter"
That's the medicine mixed for demo-
Gratis by populists. Free silver repub-
licans may look for their dose later.

SCHOOLS mi POLITICS.
A Scheme With Real Estate Trimminss
That Won In Oregon.

"Speaking of schools in relation to
politics., :" said the eN-boomer from Ore
gon, always reminds me of q campaign
ago. The Douglas county representative
i'll the Oregon state Legislature, rcaliz-
ing that his popularity was not exceed
ingly great, had been talking of build
ing IL new state normal school, presum.
ably at Roseburg, the county seat and
his own home. This caused great con-
sternation among the $50 inhabitants
of the little city of Drain, who had been
protiting by the courtesy title OF Drain
school, under which the school there
had been run since 1885. The postmas-
ter, who kept a drug store and sold
school supplies, took counsel with his
sister-in-law, who dealt in millinery
and ran q boarding house for students,
and she sought the mayor, at whose
general merchandise emporium she was
the principal customer.
1.-The mayor was a man who thought
slowly, but to Il purpose, and, having
set himself tho task of devising some
way of circumventing tho member

PRESIDENTS FINANCIAL POLICY

There seems to be a slight miscon-
s%tw,ction of the presidents message
relative to the currency question. upon
the part of some people. The New
Yord Tribune makes the following very
simple explanation of the matter:
''The president does not propose to
cancel ~greenbacks, OF retire them. or
change their character in the least.
lie only insists that when the United
States had not only made them as good
as gold. but has actually paid them in
gold, it shall not pay them out again
for anything less than gold. Who will
say that is not fair: Who will say it is
not ordinary prudence and plain COM
mon sense: And who can say that.
under that rule. there is any more dan
ger about the volume of our greenbacks
than there is about so much gold:
Yet it solves the problem. breaks the
'.endless chain and relieves the treas
ury from its worst danger. 1t is not
all that a proper system for the regu-
lation of IL currency needs: but it is
a step forward-doing great good and
harming nobody. Is it not reasonable
to hope that vel this financially dis.
cordant congress can unite in taking
that steps"

Athens, Feb 1.-THE Govern

to the Powers setting forth that
Greece eau not remain mere spec

place In Crete, and that the ties of

island.
In the Chamber of Deputies last
evening, Premier Dely aunis said that
either the Porte would be prevented
by the Powers from sendiug rein
forcements to Crete Or would persist
III sending them there.
Iu either case, he declared, the
Greek Government had decided to
take action promptly and decisively.
When Crete demanded union with
the mother country, he said, Greece
could not remain Indifferent.
At the conclusion of the remarks
Of NJ. Deiyannis, the leader of the
opposition assured the Premier that
the Government would have the
heartiest support of the opposition,
which assurance evoked prolonged
