One thing is certain, fusion must be killed
or the party will be- The best way to kill
fusion is to adopt consistent platform
OF the sincerity of the Peoples Party there
is no doubt.
Free coinage is the battle cry Of Bryan
and made fusion possible by sweeping so
many very good Peoples Party voters in
to the ranks Of the Democrats. Free coinage
was the strength of fusion. We must put
the free silver Democrats on the agrees
sive and let them defend the justice of free
coinage, which no man can do.
Our new plank should read, I'VE de-
mand the coinage of both silver and gold in
a sufficient quantity to pay coin obligations.
which shall be legal tender for coin Obli-
cations only" This plank if enacted into a
law would break the neck of the money
power at once. If the government can issue
Il full legal tender paper money which will
pay the boys in blue, 1t can issue a legal
tender paper money based on the credit of
the government not less that $50 per capita,
which would at once become the measure of
values, thus furnishing cheaper dollars to
the people, which means higher prices. Then
and only then will the products of labor
go on the market and be governed in price
by the supply and demand; with the bull
lion. The government should purchase in the
open market sufficient amount to pay
all coin obligations Out object of limiting
it's legal tender to coin obligations is this,
the money changer is demanding gold in
payment for his bonds, his mortgages and
his notes. If coin was limited to these Obli-
cations the money changers would not want
gold, but would want the full legal tender
money, which would be cheaper money
to the common debtor. M. A. OI.DS.

Hon. I. DOnnelly-
My Dear Friend, because the friend Of OPP
pressed humanity everywhere: I cannot in
fitting phraseology express my gratitude to
you, Mr.. D., for your unwaverlng crusade
against fusion in any phase the monster
might assume OF what avail to reform is
fusion, if Democratic or Republican policy
is to have swag? What has been gained
thereby for humanity. for reform? The
Popul:st party publishes to the world that
it had it's origin in the necessities OF a
country brought almost to the verge OF
ruin by the selfish and grasping manipu-
lators of the other parties. This was a
sound, grand declaration. true as truth.
1 hope and trust that from now on fusion
will have less than theoretical existence:
that practically it is dead as hay and
that the true-blue friends of reform Will
slough Off the obnoxious time-servers, such
as you have so ably exposed to public gaze.
so that the Peoples party can pursue its
undertaking march to the achievement of a
destiny richer and grander In it's results
than any ever won by warrior or statesman.
Then. Mr.. Editor. your fame will be secure.

Had you but turned deaf ear to the voice
of an enlightened conscience, and cast your
lot with plutocracy and done their bidding.
instead Of devoting your prodgious ability
to the cause Of distressed humanity, you
might today occupy any position of emolu-
ment or trust. But intellect and eminent
ability cuts no figure nowadays in selecting
members of the national legislature. At
one period of it's history the congress could
boast of an array of talent not excelled by
any similar body on earth. How is 1t to-
day? Bah!

Our opponents are trying to make
people believe the cause of the Populist
party faded away with the rise of prices
on certain articles and with an imagin-
airy return of prosperity.
There is no room for calamity howl
ing. Just look at the wheat! For
heavens sake. don't forget that wheat!
All that the Populists ever fought for
was better times and here they are.
The Populists have no more to say"
BY so saying the opposition wants to
reduce the Populists to a mere bread
and butter force.
Opponents do not dare to face the
real issue, that is the trouble. Times
and times again it is told and proved
that the fundamental principles of
American liberty are trodden down and
that the nation is suffering under the
arm of plutocracy And they know it.
Any fair-minded man, whether he has
two eyes or not, must be acquainted
with that fact. But they walk around
it. They are trying to lead the peoples
attention away from the fundamental
principle Of our platform and attach it
to matters of minor or no Importance.
The Republicans talk about the Pop
ulists being without cause, will do
where nobody hears it, but it will never
do as all argument.
The POpulists want more than a mere
change in the market. They want more
than temporary return of prosperity,
especially after it's late visit in the
White House where it promised to room
With Mckinley and the business III
terests" of our country for at least four
years.
They all know it, and they also know
that the interests of the few are opposed
to the interests of the many. They
want the laboring man as building ma
terial and in order to use him as such
it is necessary to fool him away from
the Populist party. They know that a
victory Of the reform forces means the
downfall of monopolies and corpora
lions. They know that our platform
will be broad enough to change an I'M
just system, and hence they must resist
us-in the interest of their own and for
the destruction of true democracy.-

The hearing of the case in which the

the dismissal of the proceedings by
Justice of the Peace L~aurandeau. be-
fore whom the hearing was had yes
terday afternoon. The 81 was origi-
nally filed in Justice Traps court. but
was transferred to the court OF Justice
Laurandeau on a change of venue.
At the hearing Mrs. Tucker testified
that when she and her husband first
had difficulties they went to Rev. Mr..
Blackstone house to try and arrive at
an amiable settlement of their troubles.
While there Tucker drew a gun and
threatened her. n Mr.. Blackiston or

and drawing a gun said: Beatrice.
you have got to die" She succeeded in
pacifying him. however. and he did not
put his threat into execution. She said
she was constantly in fear of him.
The couples ~12-year-old son Ray
mond corroborated his mothers testi-
mony i'm regard to his father coming
to the house on the evening of March
30. He said that up to about a month
ago his mother had always said she
was not afraid of Tucker, but since
that time she had said she was afraid.
Tucker took the stand in his own de-
Tense. and admitted going to Rev. Mr..
Blackiston with his wife and drawing
a gun, but denied he intended using IL
on anyone but himself. He said he was
downhearted and intended to commit
suicide. Tucker then made a sensa-
tional statement. He said hat on the
LIST of las July he went home and
found his wife in a compromising posi-
ton, and that this was the cause of all
their difficulties. He had been tempted
to kill the man but refrained. Tucker
then admitted going to his wife's house
the evening of March 80. and said he
had a gun in his pocket, but did not
take IL and did not threaten to kill
his wife. After arguments by Deputy
County Attorney Stivers for the state
and Attorney Bachelor for the defense.
Judge L~aurandeau stated that he did
not believe there was sufficient ground
for putting the defendant under bonds
and dismissed the case.

A FIGHT WITH HOB0ES.

Lively Time.

N Lively Time.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Bozeman. April 1.-the crew of an
eastbound bonded tea train, In charge of
Conductor Scott. had a lively fight with
hoboes about $50 o'clock this morning a
little west of Manhattan. Brakeman
Brown was knocked off the top of a car
by a hobo and while Brakeman Dayton
was attempting TO catch him another
hobo hit him in the mouth with n rock.
The hoboes then took to the prairie. fol-
lowed by Conductor Edgar. who was on
the train, and after n long chase across
the country, he caught them single
handed 10 miles from Manhattan.
Sheriff Fransham went down on a light
engine to the scene of the fracas and ar
rived in time to take cnarge of the pris-
oners, who are said TO be sheepnerders
from Billings beating their way home.
Brown will probably be laid up for sew
eral weeks with his injuries. The hoboes
are now in the county jail at Bozeman
awaiting their preliminary hearing.

WORK OF THE PRESS BUREAU.

The local Republican organ is gradu-
ally charging its contest press bu-
reau. It is pleased to hear the echo of
its utterances reverberating through
the land. Every morning it repeats its
charges which, in turn, some other
member Of the circle repeats.
The case is evidently misstated to
congressman for the purpose of getting
from them some expression which is
distorted for effect and run as a spec
ial." Mr.. Dingley's denial is a com
plete exposure of the despicable meth
DDS being used by desperate organ to
place upon others the blame for a fight
for which it is responsible.
Its echoes do not all come back as it
expects them, however. The New
York Press, for instance, recognizes the
contest as a political question, and al
lows a deep-seated anti-silver preju-
dice to dominate it's views The Press
looks upon the Tribune's opposition to
Roberts as an evidence of the decline
Of silver sentiment in Utah, and says:
CAS- the intensity of free silver feeling
waned, the Gentiles began to find their
voices
This, of course, does not suit our
morning contemporary. 1t would
rather be regarded as moral reformer
than as an ex-silver organ talking for
partisan effect.

FEARS WELL FOUNDED.

In the midst of the goldbug orgies, in
which the chant of the Wall street
Dervishes and the shouts of the silver
killers have been heard since the re-
cent election, the Philadelphia Lodges
interrupts the ceremonies long enough
to observe that the death Of free sill
yer is by no means assured.
Now, the Ledger is so intensely Re
publican, and, consequently. so vicious
in its Treatment of the silver question
that its words are apt to have a de-
pressing effect on the merry-makers. 1t
says:
Whether the free silver snake was
killed outright or only scotched is a
question which does not appear to have
been concluSiYely answered by the cleo
lions Of the Sth inst. It would seem,
in view of the very great Importance of
the subject. that even the most ordi-
nary discretion should suggest to those
who assume with easy confidence that
on that day free silver was knocked on
the head and now lies dead and buried
beyond the chance of resurrection,
without regret mourning or ceremony.
that there may be life in it yet, that it
was not killed, only scotched.
The Ledger is thoughtful. To make
a funeral success in every respect it
is necessary to have q corpse The
death Of bimetallism was announced
repeatedly last summer by men who
were compelled to, open their purse
strings and call in war to help them
defeat it little later on.
IF it is really dead" says the
Ledger, so much the better; but it
will be Just as well to make the as
surance of its death doubly sure before
too confidently assuming that it is So"
And the Ledger sounds the keynote
of the Republican campaign of 1900
when it says further:
but those honest, sagacious folk who
contend FOR the maintenance OF the
GOLD standard of monetary value
should not be so sanguine of their tri-
umph at the late state elections as to
induce them TO forego or diminish their
efforts against free silver
