TRICKS OF THE ENEMY.

1t is laughable to see the efforts OF the
old party dailies to make it appear that
fusion has carried the Peoples party

some instances to absolute lies They

and then print series of reports that
show nothing of the kind.
Why do they fear Populism pure and
simple more than they do Populism plus
Democracy?
Because they have not forgotten that
in 1892 we rose from nothing to one
million one hundred and twenty-five
thousand votes in one campaign Of four
months, and they knew that one or two
more leaps like that would have landed
us in the White House. They fear a
great enthusiasm. They have no fear OF
platitudes.
Hence they do all they can to smother
the news of independent action, and
make it appear that fusion had won.

THE CURSE OF POVERTY.

A good deal has been said lately
about the shocking condition Of the
poor in London. A recent correspond
ent of an American paper from that city
says:
1.-The effect of the one-room system is
physically and morally beyond all descrip-
ton. In the first place, the One-rOom system
always leads to the one-bed system. If you
go into these single rooms you may some
times find two beds, but you will generally
find one bed occupied by the whole family,
in many of these cases consisting of father.
mother and son, of father and daughter,
or brothers and sisters. 1t is totally de-
structive of all benefit to the children to
be absent during the day at school, az
when they return to their homes, in one
hour they unlearn everything they have
acquired during the day. Our agent visit
ed a house and asked the woman how
many rooms she occupied. and she told
him two. Then he asked her, How many
in the family? Her answer was, we are

A SOLDIERS BABY,

A sad tragedy occurred the other day
in Chicago which illustrates the condi-
ton of our country.
A father, probably to get something to
eat, enlisted in the army to fight Spain
and his babe starves to death in the
meantime. The Chicago Times Herald

Although scores of persons passed in and
out Of the miserable room at 240 Orleans
street, where the baby's body lay in a
white coffin, only half dozen followed the
remains to the burial ground. These rode
in two carriages furnished by the auxiliary
association Of the Seventh regiment and
the Chicago Relief and Aid society. The
coffin was placed in the carriage which con-
tanned the father, mother and surviving
child.

seeing and admitting these facts should
not forget that action taken bv Minne-
sofa and other Northern Populists will
have its influence at the South South
ern Populists at this time are especially
entitled to the sympathy of their North
e1n mldroad brethren. We should re-
member that in the South there are
practically only two parties, the pro
slavery, state rights, corrupt bourbon
Democrats and the Populists. This
Southern Democracy is the same Demo
cracy that backed Buchanan, seeded,
fought negro suffrage and has dominated
the South since the war just as COM
pletely, and in the same way the Repub-
licans have ruled the North. In 1896 a
few Democrats of the South shouted for
Bryan to hold the office in event of
Democratic success. They stand for the
offices first, last and all the time and
vote the Democratic ticket straight. no
matter what the platform may be. This
is Southern Democracy 1t is the proto-
type Of Northern Republicanism. All
Democrats of the South who wanted re-
form left the Democratic party and be-
came POpulists. In the South nine
tenths of the Populists are men who
were once Democrats and realized that
Southern Democracy could never be
purified. In the North Populists are in
the main men who have bolted the Re-
publican party for the same reason. Our
Northern fusion friends should never
forget these facts. Fusion with South
ern Democracy means to the Southern
Populist exactly what fusion with Re-
publicans means to Northern Populists.
The one is as logical and consistent as
the other. Suppose Northern Populists
fuse with and join the Democrats and
our Southern brothers fuse with and join
the Republicans where is the gain? Let
some co-operator answer.
When we Populists of the North fuse
with Democrats for local and temporary
advantage we should not forget that
Northern Populists gain is Southern
Populists loss. Is national policy
based on local selishness craftsmanship

THE VENAL PRESS.
The Pot BlackEua riding the Kettle.
In the Chicago Times-Heraid we find
the fOllOWlng:

The Pot BlackEuarding the Kettle.
In the Chicago Times Herald we find
the following:
mo one conversant with the methods of
French Journalism will be surprised at the
overtures made by M. Gallia to obtain
brides from the American government for
the purpose of influencing certain French
papers to support the cause of the United
States in this war with Spain.
with a few honorable exceptions, the
editorial opinions of the Paris papers are
always for sale to the highest bidder, and
the venal sheets are among the best known
and most widely circulated of French jour-
nails. This fact is shown by the following
list of papers which NJ. Galla claims to
represent
Journal des Debats, La Gaulois, LIE
Journal L'Echo de Paris l. Eclair, LIE Gil
Bias, Revue Illustre, Moniteur ues Arts,
Revue Diplomatique, Moniteur de rEXposi-
ton.
with the exceptions of lie Temps and
LIE Petit Journal the papers in the above
list are among those quoted most frequent
ly by foreign correspondents to show the
trend of public sentiment in France. al
though they are without any real influence
| at home. Their venalty, however. is con-
doned by reason of the low morals Of
Parisians.
| Possibly no stronger evidence could be
|
| the French press than is found in the fact
| that in many Of the newspaper offices the
| reporters do not receive salaries, but are
! expected to obtain their living by black
mailing the people interested in the publ
| cation of news. Hence it will be seen that
| the news columns of such papers are not
more reliable than the purchased editorial
! columns
For this state of affairs the government
is responsible in a large measure by the
! use of a corruption fund for substituting
! the press. Not only in France but in many
European countries. the support of the
newspapers is purchased by the govern
ment.
LAS a result, official corruption goes un-
checked and such notorious scandals as the
Panama canal affair are possible
The public has no greater safeguard
than honest, fearless newspapers. and q re-
public has no more dangerous internal foe

This is very true and very amusing

OF the United States with few execep-
tons, is subsidized by the plutocracy;
and chiefest among those is the Chicago

democrats z chance to vote for men who
