AS TO Fusion.
Hon. e. d. AXE, member of the
State Democratic Central Committee
"a free silver advocate whose SINGER
ity was never questioned, recognized
leader of prominence in Southeast
Missouri and editor of the Iron County
Register, in the last issue of his paper
expresses the sentiments of the people
on the question of fusion as follows:
Fusion is a very unsatisfactory bus
mess to those who engage in it. Each
political party owes its existence to
some distinct body of political doc
trine. The members of its rank and
file represent those who believe its
creed to be of more Importance than
that of any other party. When a
third party supplants an older organ
ization it is because the leaders of the
older organization have failed to
understand the sentiment of the party
for which they act or refuse to obey
its mandates. In that case the people
turn to a new organization for a
medium through which to act upon
the body polite. Suppose the Chicago
convention had not proved responsive
to the wishes of the party? A new
organization would have resulted
possibly, with the Populist organiza-
ton as a nucleus. Suppose the Plutoc-
racy should gain sufficient control of
the next National Democratic conven-
ton to modify the Chicago platform
in any vital particular? There is little
doubt but that the South and West
would create new party affiliations.
AS matters now stand, the Democ-
racy stands for every good thing
advocated by Populism. Populism
derived its whole strength from the
suspicion in mems minds that the two
old parties were practically twins and
were each controlled by the same
interests-often by the same men
The present attitude of the party
removes this fear. The result is thai
PopuIism is no longer attractive
The Plutocracy have failed to move
the Democratic party from its ancient
moorings, as was feared by many o.
those who espoused the cause of Pop
ulism. 1t follows that Popuiism will
cease to be an important factor as sooI
as men regain full confidence that the
Democratic party will continue on it
present course.
Under present circumstances fusior
is advocated to pIacate certain Popu
list leaders. In the long run this pol
icy will be found to be unwise. Ths
Populist party has developed some o
the keenest political merchants thi'
country has ever seen. Dealing will
them is never a safe business. Ths
trading leaders of that party will no
prove of any value to the Democratic
party in this state, and when the tint
comes will be found unable to do LITTLE
more for it than cast their votes.
Populism has anything to present eif
ferent from or opposed to Democrac!
the rank and file will not follow part.
leaders into the Democratic party.
| Just now Democrats are more anx
ious about the preservation of princi
pies than the attainment of immediat
success. The Register believes tina
right will prevail in the long run an
wants as little fusion as possible will
a party whose leaders have hithert
shown as great capacity for fusin
with the Republican party as the
, now show for combining with Dem
ocracy. Fusion is likely to prov
dead Sea fruit for the Democrat

An exchange says: "In the begin
ming God created the heavens and the
earth. Then He made the editor,
liberal patronizers and prompt paying
subscribers, and it was good. The
next day a Minnesota blizzard set in
and He created a man who didn't
take his home paper, and another
who didn't believe in advertising, and
he rested. Then the devil got into
the moulding and he created the fell
low who takes the editors paper for
several years, fails to pay for it, and
pays not the least attention to a re-
quest to do so if sent to him by mail.
If he doesn't mend his manners the
devil will get him, sure. The devil
then rested, but the editor hasn't had

A Child's Health

depends almost wholly on the moth
er's, not only before its birth but af-
terwards. A sick mother can't prop
erly care for her child's health. A
sick mother sometimes bears healthy
child but it isn't to be expected. May
be the baby will possess the appear
ance of health, but will lack stamina.
Maybe innate weakness will develop
in after years. Every woman should
be particularly careful of her health
during the period of gestation-when
the child is really a part of herself. Dur
ing all this time she should keep her
body strong and pure and she should
take proper precautions against her
time of labor. For this purpose DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is pre-
scribed. 1t has been used in thous-
ands of cases, with the most gratifying
results. 1t is a tonic to the whole
body, but particularly to the organs
distinctly feminine. 1t 80 prepares
the system for childbirth, as to render
it almost painless. 1t cures all female
troubles and promotes regularity.
