The Democratic State Convention,
after refusing in a manner almost in
sulting, the proposition of the Popu.
lists to cooperate is now appealing to
Popuists to vote for their candidates
for Judges, congressman, etc. There is
not a self-respecting Populist in the
State who will listen to the pleas of a
lot of bosses who have shown them
selves to be so wanting in sense and
patriotism. They refused to treat with
the Populist party as an organization
because that forced them to stand for
principle and the interests of good gov
ernment. They are now appealing to
the individual Populists to help them
to get pie without any principle. Their
conduct deserves to be rebuked by the
good people Of the state, and will be

THAT FATAL coLllsIoA.

The Overworked Crew of the Freight
Train Were Asleep.
: SAVANNAH, Gs., May 24.-The coro-
ner,s Investigation of the Florida Gen.
tral and Peninsula railroad collision,
in which Private Barbee. Of The First
North Carolina Regiment, WAS killed,
and Private Coiclough va sseriously
injured, showed that the conductor,
brakeman and fiagman Of the freight
train which collided with the military
train, were asleep when the third sec
tion of the passenger train passed the
siding on which the freight was wait
ing, and did not know whether signals
were displayed indicating another sec.
tion was to follow.
The engineer denied he was asleep,
but was in doubt about the signals and,
relied on the fireman, who said none
were displayed.
A bridge tender. Z mile away testified
he heard the whistle blasts of the pass
ing passenger train. The fireman has
not been found, but an effort will be
made to get him before the jury to-
morrow. The crew Of the freight train
had been fourteen hours on duty when
the accident occurred.

The Democratic State Convention af-
ter refusing to cooperate with the
Peoples party to secure certain great
reforms, then had the cheek to invite
the Populists to come into the Demo-
cratic party as individuals. Mr.. Bry-
An and Mr.. Jones said they would not
ask Populists to give up their Organi-
zation>and go into the Democratic par
ty, because they knew Populists would
not do it, and that therefore the only
way to make a united fight against
gold and monopoly was for the two
parties to cooperate as organizations.
The Democratic State Convention re-
fused this plan because it was con-
trolled by men who are not honestly
opposed to gold and monopoly.

MAIL FORTHE SOLDIERS.

Reglu ations Under Which COmmunica-
tions May be Had With Army.
Two orders in regard to mail for
and from soldiers and sailors have
been issued by Postmaster General
Emory Smith. One order takes the
Philippine Islands out of the cate
CORY of places where mail communi-
cation with the United States is sus-
pended and the other revives q reg
ulation permitting soldiers, sailors,
and marines to send letters, postage
upon which is to be collected on de.
livery. Following is the text of the
order regarding mail for the United
States forces at the Philipines:-
''In view of existing hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain,
which necessitates the presence of
United States forces in. active ser.
vice at and near the PHILIPPINE Islands
and of tho fact that postal communi-
cation with said Islands, was one of
the Spanish colonies, is prohibited
by my order No. 16l, dated the Goth
ultimo, it is hereby ordered that ar
ticlss of mail matter for or from pers-
ons cnnnectedwitt said United States
forces, shall be subject to- the post
age lates and conditions applicable
to similar articles in the domestic
mails of the United States. The ar
ticles shall be sent to the command
ants of the forces by every oppor-
tunity offered by the sailing Of a
United States. vessel for said
forces. The sailing dates of
the vessels cannot be an
nounced in advance, and the Articles
should therefore be forwarded
promptly to San Francisco in order
that they may be dispatched thence
to destination at first opportunity.
The regulation in regard to the
mail from forces in the field is au.
thorjzed by an act of Congress pas
sed in 1879 and is as follows:
Letters written by cf1icers, com
mlssioned or non-commissioned, and
privates in the military, naval, OF
marine services Of the United States
to be transmitted must be plainly
marked, "Soldiers Letter." or INA
rine's Letter." as the case may be-
and signed Hereunder with his name
and official designation by q field o.
staff officer, post or detachment com
mander to whose command the sold
ier belongs, or by surgeon or chap
lain at hospital where he may be
and in the navy and marine servlc,
by the officer in command of til,
vessel or surgeon on board, or Off
Ger commanding naval hospital O.
detachment on shore. Letters e,
certified will be forwarded with post
ago, due at single rates only, to b
collected on delivery.
This regulation is in line with ,
bill introduced by Representative
/ Lybrand. Of Ohio, extending frank
ling privileges through the mails t
the officers and enlisted men OF tn
United States forces.
