P0PuLIsT DIVISION I'm IOWA,

AT the POpullst State convention in
Iowa last summer majority favored
supporting the Democrat State ticket.
A minority objected and retired from the
hall. The majority remained in session,
resolved to unite with the Democrats,
and did not put up any ticket.
The bolting minority, favOring the
nomination Of a full party ticket, called
a State convention to meet on the 10th
day OF August for that purpose, and on
the day named they met by delegates
and placed ticket in the field.
The Democrat State Central commit
toe applied for a writ Of injunction to
restrain the rebellious POpulists from
uaGng the name Of Peoples party at the
boad of their ticket, but the POpulists
had already fled the necessary papers
WITH the proper officer, and on the 22d
slay OF the present month the following
news was sent out from Des Moines by
the Associated Press:
'gThe State Board Of Elections has de-

cided TO recognize the middle-of-the-
ROAD POpulists as entitled to use the
name Peoples party on the official bal
lot, the other wing Of the party having
abandoned the name and combined with
the Democrats under the party name
Democratic. The case had attracted
much attention. The Chairman of the
Democratic party tried to enjoln the Sec
retary Of State from receiving the petit
tion Of the middle-of-the-road Populists."

JUST LIKE TIE REPUBLICANS DID

Some OF the Populist papers Of the
State are inclined to criticise Senator
PETER for making a speech before the
Populist convention in Iowa, Mr.. Peffer
made straight Populist speech to a
straight Populist convention, and we
fail to see where any Populist has any
kick coming. They certainly would not
have him 40 to Iowa and speak for the
Democratic ticket, which is largely made

This shows a great falling off in the
aggregate vote from 1883 to 1890. The
loss Is partly accounted for by emigra-
tion, and partly by disaffectlon among
the voters. Mr.. Ives, candidate for At
torney General in 1890, was voted for by
Democrats and Populists alike, as his
name was on both tickets, and his vote
was 17O,665, which is 54,7S2 in excess Of
the POpulist vote on Secretary of State.

losses and gain, fair estimate Of gains

name. The Union Labor party was
wholly disorganized and most Of its
members went into the new party. But
twO-thirds OF the Republicans remained
with their party, and about the same
proportion of Democrats remained with
theirs.
It is clear, then, that such of the
Democrats and Republicans as separated
from their parties in 1890 did so for the
purpose of forming another and new
party, and that those persons who voted
for the Peoples party candidates did it
as Populists and not as Republicans or
Democrats. There was no fusion or
alliance about it. Republicans, Demo-
Gratis and POpulists all had their regular
tickets in the field.
AS to the Legislature, Senators were
not voted for in 1890, as they had been
chosen in 1888. Only members Of the
House had to be elected in 1890, and Of
them SO were Populists, Democrats,
and "a Republicans The Senate con-
tanned 81 Republicans, l Democrat and

When the two houses voted sepa-
rately for United States Senator, on the
9th day Of January, 1891, the following
record of the vote in the Senate was
made:
Hon. John J. Ingalls, received. .35 votes.
Hon. w. A. PETER received. ... votes.
Hon. G. w. Blair received. .. vote.
Hon. H. B. Kelly received. .... vote.
Hon. q. N. Morrill, received. 80. vote.
The vote cast for Mr.. Blair was that
Of Senator Carroll, Of LeavenwOrth, the
only Democrat in the Senate.
The two votes cast for Mr.. PETER were
those Of Senators Wheeler and King,
Populists.
The Journal Of the House Of Repre-
sentatiVes shows the following record:
w. A. PETER received. SO votes.
John ]. Ingalls, received. 49,. .29 votes.
G. ". Blair received. .. votes.
The five votes cast for Mr.. Blair were
those of Messrs. Craig, Gable, Hoover,
Miner and Neeley-all the Democrats in
the House.
The next day the two houses met in
joint convention, and the Journal shows
the following vote:
senate-Ingalls, 35; PETER, 2; Kelly,
J.; Morrill,, /; Blair, /.
House PETER, SO; ingalls,, 20; Blair,
2; Luclen Baker, 1.
On joint ballot three Of the Democrats
voted for PETER. 1t will be observed
that on the first vote-that taken in the
houses separately, the party lines were
strictly drawn, Senators and Represen-
tatives, each and all of them, voting for
men of their own parties The votes Of
the three Democrat members given to
PETER in joint assembly had no reference
to fusion or alliance. Those members
were true and tried Democrats, and they
had no sympathy with the Populist
party.
What we want to make clear, once
for all, Is that Populist success in 1890
did not come from an alliance or fusion
OF Populists and Democrats, and that
Mr.. Peffer's election to the Senate was
not the result Of a fusion between par
ties. Mr.. PETER was then quite as far
from the Democrat party as he was
from the Republican party, and Demo-
Gratis so understood it. His moderate
views on the tariff question was the
only thing that recommended him to
their consideration, and we feel sure
II was on that account that he received
the three Democrat votes in the House.

The experiment of planting fruit
trees along the sides of public high
ways has been tried With satisfactory
results in several German States and
in Austria. and the products of the
plantations have been the means of
adding considerably to the revenues of
the governments thereof. In SaXony
the profit derived by the State from
tia: source during fourteen years is
estimated at about 100000. Planting
of forest trees by the sides of the roads
has been abandoned in Wurtemberg,
and the planting and care of fruit trees
are regulated by law. The trees are
placed in the care of the abutting pro-
prietor under the supervision of the
highway inspector. In Bavaria and the
Palatinate each road man is duplicated

he found himself counting the pairs Of

puzzling to him as it was. there were
eight pairs of feet. Nearing the fence
that there might be no mistake, he
carefully counted the pairs of feet and
there were eight. He climbed upon the

Then they resolved unanimously to

that one pig had two well-dcveloped
