A Populist View Of Bryan and Butler.

Chairman Butler, of the Populist par
ty, is again under fire. National Com
mitteeman Bateman. of Maine, u promi-
nent and influential Populist, is out
with a savage attack upon him, in which
he says: Chairman Butler has proved
himself to be the Benedict Arnold of the
century, Every move he has made since
he was made chairman of the national
committee, has been to advance his own
personal interests. His trcachery has
been of the most %unblushing kind. He
wants to be elected to the United States
senate, and knows that he cannot be
without the aid of the Democrats in
North Carolina. For that reason he
has become the abiect lickspittle of
Bryan and Senator Jones'" After stat
ing that Mr.. Butler will be deposed as
chairman of the national committee
of the Populist party and an
early convention held to nominate
" S"iuiuuoV 4" OHV PlCsiucley +,
Mr. Batcman adds: "Wc shall nominate
Wharton Barker, the editor of the Phila-
delphia American. The Democrats and
their assistants, like Butler and Allen,
would be delighted to have the middle
of-the-road men nominate an old-time
agitator like Tom Watson or Ignatius
Donnelly. We all love and honor Wat.
son., but we realize that should we nomi-
nate him the fight would come between
the two old parties us usual, and the
f%usionists would then go over in II body
to the Democrats. The Butlcr-Jones
faction will not see us get our feet into
that trap. Bryan is Il back number,
and the procession has left him far be-
hind. 1t is doubtful if ever the Demo-
Gratis can nominate him. They certainly
will not do so unless he becomes an alb
jet tool of Wall street. Then they
would nominate him simply as a decoy
duck. That he would be perfectly will
ing to play his part is more than evident.
He is the biggest political fake Of the
century,"

Conditions in Europe.

They are having a splendid time after
all in Europe, provided You don't care
what you say. In Italy bread riots have
to be suppressed by bayonet and bullet.
The people are starving. Spain is on
the ragged edge Of bankruptcy and has
a costly and bloody war on its hands in
Cuba with a very good prospect of seri-
Gus trouble with this country. Austria
has had to close her universities and
other institutions of learning by force
and suppress race riots with powder and
ball.
In the kaiscr's dominion the people
are chafing under the heel of the OPP
pressor and tyrant and symptoms of an
approaching political crisis are becom-
ing very apparent. England has her
hands full in India, in China, in the
Soudan, in South Africa, besides having
complications and ~dissensions at home
France has all she can do to keep the
present government atloat and to keep
down riots, besides having a few foreign
complications in Madagascar, in Africa
and in southern China to deal with.
With the exception of the colossus Rus
STA, all Europe is more or less greatly
disturbed. And now If a war between
this country and Spain should become
necessary, it may be set down for as
reasonably certain, that no European
power will care to interfere and that
will interfere.

New Enqland Cotton Mills Trouble.

Tho strike and consequent shutdown
of the New England cotton mills, occur
ring at a time when unusual activity
prevails in nearly all other industries
and when that industry is prosperous in
the south, naturally attracts even more
attention than is generally accorded to
conflicts between labor and capital. One
of the notable features of this trouble Is
that only a few of the closed factories
have failed to pay handsome dividends
in each Of the last six or eight years.
One of the New Bedford mills, which led
off in the reduction of wages, paid 16
per cent in dividends in 1897. Not more
than three or four of the factories which
united in this cut-down and shutdown
paid dividends below q fair rate of in
terest on the capital invested in them.
No explanation of the seeming inconsis-
tency in forcing a strike while mills
were, according to official reports, doing
a good business, has been given, but, in
asmuch as cotton mills are supposed to
be run on business principles, it is reason
able to assume that some reason exists.
OF course this trouble has given rise
to any amount OF tariff talk, but the
consensus Of intelligent opinion is that
the tariff had nothing to do with it.
Both the Wilson-Gorman act and the
Dingley act gave the cotton industry all
the protection it needed-all that it
asked for, in fact. If 1t be true that the
mills are closed because there Is a large
surplus product OF hand, it must be
evident that the means of production are
greatly in excess of the demands of
available markets. And yet this is in
consistent with the reports of profitable
operations up to the end of last Dccem-
ber-up to the eve of the cut in wages,
which it was known would produce a
strike.
But now comes the Rome Georgia.
Tribune. and furnishes an exceedingly
good reason for this state Of affairs and
that in a very intelligent n as fol-
lows:
I'm the first place, there is the presi-
dent; in the second, the treasurer; in
the third, the superintendent, and in
the fourth, the agent. Each of these
officials for each New England mill
draws a large salary-probably averag-
ing $4,000. In some cases 1t is in en-
cess of these figures. The agent of the
mill sometimes makes more than any
other official. The treasurer Is most
