TOO MUCH FUSION THE CAUSE.
1T CREATED DIsTRUsT AND APA-
THY AMONG POPULIsTs.

Leader George II. Miller Lets in
some Light on the Cause of the
Decline of the Third Party-MaDy
believed With Watson That the
Party Was Used Too Much in
DickerIng and Trades for Ohices
Intelligent POpuIists Believe I'm a
White Mans Party.
1T was the result of too much fusion
and Of the feelings OF disgust and distrus
that IL provoked"
This Is the explanation of George II. Nil.
ler Esq, one Of the Populist leaders oil
this section, as to the result of the cleo.
ton on Wednesday. Mr.. Miller was not
surprised at the result He had predicted
it at meeting of Populist leaders wher
the proposed attempt at fusion with the
Republicans in various sections was dis
cus-ed.
Il told them then" said Mr.. Miller yes
torday, that IL would not do, that 1t was
inviting defeat and destruction, that II
was better to fight on the principles of the
party as a white mans party and be de
feated, than to fuse with the negroes ever

sion OF this kind has done there before
them the people Of this state would repu-
date such an effort here"
do you regard the Populist party as
dead2'
while I am not prepared to say that
much, l do believe that the free silver
agitation is practically dead, killed by the
war and its effects and the growing
strength of the gold standard advocates.
| am in doubts as 10 whether 1t would not
be best for Populists to attempt to secure
reforms through the fundamentally OF
the Democratic party. Itsis certainly fol
ly TO seek it in fusions with the Repub-
iicans, be that party white or black. Here
in the South l could not oountenance
fusion with the Republicans under any
consideration. There were many who felt
as l did about efforts along that line.
believe in Populism, its tenets are the
right tents l feel satisfied; yet 1 can see
that conditions politically and otherwise
are tending to the Generalization of the
party and to its entire disIntegration. And
it all dates from the first efforts to get
office by certain leaders through fusion.
The dickering and trading Disguised
many besides Tom Watson, and one OF
the results is seen in the decline of the
party in Georgia, as shown at this cleo
ton"
"Will you return to the Democratic
party?"
Mr.. Miller smiled. IT VIII certainly not
become a Republican" said he. with
the Populist party out of the way there
would be no place for a white man in the
South except in the Democratic party. Al
the very beginning Of the third party move
ment when l stood almost alone in this
section, my only doubt was as to the ad-
visibility of dividing the white vote even
to attempt TO secure the reforms we were
advocating"
Mr.. Miller is evidently Of the opinion that
the Popuhst party has seen its last days in
Georgia and in the country AS he re-
marked, 1T looks as though my party had
fused itself out of existence"
Mr.. Miller has been the Populist candi-

A good, fertile queen is capable Of pr

If you raise comb honey only for your

worrying them, but principally denying

that in an average hive SO, 1000 is not a large
number during the working season.-St.

he Queer Manner In Which They ME-
.-, Up Religion and Murder. ~
The month of Ramadan, in which the
first part of the Koran is said to hove
been revealed, is observed as fast by
all Mohammedans. The fast extends
over the whole month Of raging heat"
and involves extraordinary self denial
and self control. No food or drink of
any kind may be taken from daybreak
until the appearance Of the stars at
nightfall.,
The rigor with which MohammedAn
observes this fast and the great gulf be-.
tween its observance and obedience to
the moral code are both illustrated by a
story told. in the life Of one Of the he
roes Of India, Major John Nicholson.
While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy
commissioner in Bannu, a native killed
his brother and was arrested. He was
brought before Nicholson on very hot
evening, looking parched and exhausted,
for he had walked many miles, and it
was the month of Ramadan.

here, but he was keeping the fast, I"
wrote the commissioner to friend, that
he might know what sort Of blood.

son. had to govern.
One day wretched little child was
brought before the commissioner. He
had been ordered by his relatives Of the
Waziri tribe to poison food.
Don't you know it is wrong to kill
people?'' asked Nicholson.
II know it is wrong to kill with a
knife or sword" answered the child.
"Why?"
because the blood leaves marks, :"
answered the trained poisoner.
A Pathan chief, who fell by Nichol-
sons side in skirmish, left little son,
upon whom the English officer lavished
care and attention. One day the 7-year-
old boy asked his protector to grant him
a special favor.
"Tell me first what you want"
"Only your permission, sahib, to go
and kill my cousins, the children Of
your and my deadly enemy, my uncle,
Faltri Khan
"To kill your cousins?" exclaimed the
Englishman, Mortified at the answer.
Eyes, sahib, to kill all the boys while
they are young: It is quite easy now"
"You little monster! Would you
murder your own cousins?"

The little boy wished to follow Pa

that his guardian should prevent his
