We sincerely believe that the Peoples
Party is stronger today than it has been
! at any tirle since 1894.
The Fusion delirium has passed.
1t was a sore temptation, for poor
men, to have a large, powerful and plaus-
ible party come to them and offer them
the kingdoms of the earth, If they would
only fall down and worship it.
We can't blame men for being poor,
or for trying to improve their condition
when poor. Human nature is weak and
necessitous.
We we'll remember Major Bowler's
plea to us in. 1857. when he called at
our house in Nininger. He told us that
the Democrats were sure to sweep the
country in 1900; and he urged us to "get
into the band wagon at once" The Ma
jor had formerly been a Democrat. and
was late recruit in the Populist ranks,
and it was easy and natural for him to
60 back to his first love, under the temp
tation of what looked like certain sue
! cess.
This was the feeling that actuated
many thousands.
The Major has realized his dream. He
is to be dairy commissioner.
But how will it profit him? He is al
ready rich; the salary is not large, and
the distinction is very small. What glo-
ry will there be for him in hanging
around the state capitol for two years
and drawing his monthly stipend? Is
such an end worthy of the struggles of
a life?
A great man could not be satisfied
with such an ambition. A poor man
might be content to give up his party
for the sake of living. and charity
might pardon his weakness.
But in another respect the Majors
dream has been shattered. No intelli-
gent politician believes that the Demo-
cratic party will carry the country in
1900. 1t will be torn to pieces by it's
own contending factions.
There is no future for Fusion. 1t is
not party. 1t is simply conglomera-
ton for the division of insignificant
spoils. 1t means scatteration and early
death. With what face can it's leaders
attempt to enter any future Peoples Par
ty convention?
The rank and file are clear of these
active. cunning, desperate self-seekers,
forever. Hence we say the party is to-
day stronger than it has ever been.
Organize! Organize!
Although our space is small and
crowded by our steadily increasing ad-
vertisements, we have nevertheless set
aside one column for such matters as
concern the reorganization of the Peo-
pies Party, and requested DR.. H. B. Fay,
secretary of the state central committee,
to edit it. In it will be collected all items
of information as to building up the par
ty again from the ground, where Fusion
has left it. We hope our readers will
each and every one assist In this good
work, by sending the Doctor all items Of

END OF FUSION IN IOWA.

In 1894 the Peoples Party in Iowa
had about $1,000 votes. In 1896 they
were coaxed, by Gen. Weaver. down the
throat of Democracy, only about 5000
refusing to be swallowed. In 1898 fu-
sion was beaten out of its boots. and the

feated for congress by large majority.

THEY WOULD NOT VOTE,
A correspondent of the Fergus Globe

A correspondent of the Fergus Globe
says:
Mr.. Edwin Dampier makes a good point
on the election of county superintendent of
schools, and in analyzing the vote cast In
Otter Tail county he makes another good
point and proves my former statement. He
says lack of organization and interest left
the votes at home. Correct. And then
comes Thomas c. Hodgson and asks:

same song as did DR.. johnson. He saws
cur prospects Of becoming a majoity by in
dependent action is not bright. at least for
many years to come. Correct, especially
If we are to have such weakened reform
ers for leaders. He makes it plain to us
that we can never get into office If we re-
fuse to ride the Democratic jack. and lastly
says the great question is: Shall we fuse
with the Dems IN the pending presidential
campaign providing they re-enact the Chi
cago PLATFORM" Now, friend Hodgson,
please tell me where is the resemblance be-

STORIES OF THE DAY.
Lafayette Was Quick to Recognize the Old
Headquarters.

Washington'S headquarters at New
burg. "A small, old-fashioned Dutch
house. fronting the Hudson river, is
now owned by the state of New York.
In repairing it care was taken to pre-
serve the ancient form of every part
that was renewed. The front door
opens into a large square room, which
was used by Washington for his pub
lie audience and as Il dining hail. 1t
is remarkable for having seven doors
and only one window, says the Youths
Compa Mon.
In recent publication "A Godchild
of Washington" the author quotes
from the New York Mirror of 1884 an
interesting anecdote connected with
this room. Its authority is Col. Nicho-
las Fish. Il soldier of the revolution
and the father of the Hon. Hamilton
Fish. secretary of state under Presi-
dent Grant.
just before Lafayette's death he was
invited, with the American minister,
to dine at the house of Marbois, who
was the French secretary of Legation
to the American colonies during the
Revolution. When dinner was an
nounced the company was shown into
room which contrasted strangely
with the elegance of the other apart
ments.
A low, boarded, painted ceiling with
large beams, a single small. uncur-
tanned window. with numerous small
doors, as we'll as the general style of
the whole, gave at first the idea of the
Kitchen. or largest room of Dutch or
Belgian farmhouse.
On the rough table was a repast.
which consisted of large dish of
meat, notwithstanding pastry, and

panied by glass and silver mugs, such
as indicated other habits and tastes
than those of modern Paris.
