Where Are They At.

Without wishing to rake up any
unpleasant recollections for our pop
ulist friends, we would like to ask
them what has become of their cam
paign talk of only one year ago'
What has become of those fierce
resolutions they were passing hard
ly twelve months since, in which
they denounced the railroads and
the "honest Republicans and hood
ling Popuiists' Swho had defeated
the maximum rate bill? What has
become of the north and south rail
road which Governor Leedy had
the money all ready to build? What
has happened to the junketing com
mittee which went to Texas and re-
turned with report of the railroad
that was to be constructed by con-
victs2 What has become of the
Populists who stood on the street
corners and exclaimed that McKin-
ley had been president three months
and they wanted to know "where is
prosperity3' Where are the figures
which proved that the Dingley tariff
was sure to result in a deficit?
Where are the resolutions demand
ing that Lewelling resign and that
railroad commissioners be elected
by the people1 Where, oh where
are all the campaign cries, the walls
of despair, the promises of reforms,
with which they were feeding their
people year ago or less.
1t is easy to tell where the Re
publican party Is on important lesis
lation. One year ago it was prom
ising to fulfill its ca mpaign pledges.
Now it is pointing to the actual full
fillment. Can the populist party di-
rect attention to anything it advoca-
ted or promised that has been done?
Indeed can the Populist party show
anything that 1t was promising a
year ago that it has not abandoned
for something new,7
We certainly have too much con.
fdence in the individual members OF
the Populist party to think that they
are being deceived. They may
"open their mouths and shut theil
eyes" and let the leaders poke some
thing new Into their throats, Blu
down in the recesses of their think
works they must have a great dea
of disgust at such leadership, anc
the bottom of their stomachs must
be getting very nervous at the many
and different kinds of political doc
trine and campaign arguments that
are forced down every year. We
cannot help believing that the in
consistency of their leaders is as evil
dent TO the pOpulist as it is to others
and that they will lot endure such
leadership any longer than it takes
to go to the polls next November

Now that the republican party has
turned over new leaf and side
tracked the standing candidates, and
put out ticket made up of young,
vigorous, capable men, smen with
no bad records, we may look for a
sweeping victory at the fall election.
The rank and file of the republican
party are well pleased, for they feel

About the most inspiring sight we
have ever witnessed in this city was
the reaper parade up Main-st. this af-
ternoon. 1t started from the hard
ware and implement establishment Of
Ditto Bros. where eighteen prosper
GUS farmers of this community hitch
ed as many fat, sleek, fine looking
teams OF eighteen bran new Champ
ion self binder harvesters, to haul
them out to as many wheat fields ripe
for the sickles and bending with
plenty. The sight was grand one
and the idea a novel one but appropri-
ate, illustrating in more forciable
terms than campaign oratory the
presence Of Old General Prosperity in
this religious and enlightened COM
munity. Our readers should be thank
full that we do not attempt to demon
strate our poetical abilities on this
occasion, but we do somehow feel in

Picks From PORTUGAL

Next to Portugal Japan sends the great
est supply OF toothpicksli to the United
States. These are made by hand from fine
reeds. They, too, are sold in close compe-
tition with the American product, owing to
the cheaper labor in Japan. The cases in
which the japanese picks are inclosed are
fine specimens OF skill with the jackknife.
They are of wood, cut into strips as thin and
delicate as tissue paper, but very strong
The cases are ornamented with hand paint
ed japanese scenes and are of size CON
venient to be carried in the vest pocket. The
competition between the japanese and Por-
tuguese makers on the one side and Amer
lean manufacturers on the other has become
very keen. An importer of toothpicks said
recently that the japanese toothpicks can
be made and sold in the American market,
cases and ALL for less than the cost of the
paper boxes that contain the domestic picks.

Hanna on the Tariff

The so-called war revenue is, according to
Hanna, peace revenue measure. lie Is IN
favor of retaining the war taxes in time OF
peace, simply, as he says, because it is now
necessary. Why it should be necessary he
does not say, and the explanation must,
therefore, be added that the collection OF
war taxes in time of peace is made necessary
in order to maintain a protective and pro-
hbitive tariff which, while it secures prince
" incomes for the trusts and combines and
the protected classes does not yield sufti-
cient revenues for the government, as un-
der that tariff system imports are reduced
to minimum and with it the revenues

Republican Prosperity

The Dingley law was adopted confessedly
for the purpose of raising prices and wages.
Under its operation prices and wages have
fallen lower than ever. Consequently, there
is no more to be said about the tariff 1t
will be the same with any attempt on the
part of the Republicans to restore prosperity
They have adopted policy which kills pros
perity and no makeshift policy of currency
reform will have the slightest effect in the
way of restoring prices and wages to nor

CONQUEST VS.. Colonization

Colonization in its true sense, the sending
out of representatives of your race to popu-
late and develop fertile but waste lands,
will generally pay. 1t has been going on
successfully for several hundred years on the
mainland of North America but the an
nexation of alien races is entirely another
thing. We sometimes speak of our pur-
pose to enter upon colonization policy
in acquiring Spain's former island posses
sions, but this is not strictly accurate. What
we contemplate is imperial conquest of lands
that offer no chance for colonization by
observation-disclosures Post.
