Has 1t a Mission?

The question is certainly timely
"has the populist party a mission?"
We would like 10 know and the
worldswouid like to know, and il il
has a purpose in existence it is time
they were making it known. II
there is a rodeeming virtue in the
party why do not its leaders make II
known by bringing it out boldly be
fore the public. Is their work only
to delve into the business of the re-
publican party and by m%isrepresen-
tation and outright lying attempt 10
destroy t~he'inauence of an admins
stration more perfect than which a
people never enjoyed? Let them
bring out their good points, we have
seen enough of the other side. They
could more proiitably put in time in
exhibiting their virtues, ii they pos
sess any, than by attempting to
show mistakes in the conduct of
other parties in the performance of a
duty which, thanks to an intelligent
nation, the ~populists have never
been called upon to perform.
If the party has a right to exist it
should be able to show good and
sufficient cause. 1t either owes an
excuse or an apology for occupying
space and the time has arrived when
voters will demand this.

A Whining Issue.
Miller ionee Press.

There was nothing left for the op-
position to base a campaign upon
this year, so they have taken up the
yellow journal lies and exaggera-
tons about President Mckinley and
the war management. They are
bowling it from one end of the coun-
try to the other. Republicans are
pleased at this, because the truth
is nov rapidly coming to light,shows
the most thoroughly disgusting eff
fort to besmirch American patriot
ism and American valor that has
ever been attempted. The war,
which was a complete success, with
out a single reverse on land or sea,is
too grand an achievement TO be at
s.eted by the whines Of q few camp
followers who know nothing OF real
war. The American people are in
sslligsnt and patriotic, and resent
the attempt Of political partisans to
overshadow the country's great vic
tory in her war with Spain, by exag'
gerating minor details of manage
msnt, which, II true, would not com
pare with the result attained.

couple with the demand he makes on

mand is made that this government has

Senator Jones. of Arkansas, voiced
the almost unanimous sentiment of
Congress when he said concerning the
report that movement had been
started with a view to bring about an
alliance between England and the Uni
ted States: 81 do not think that there
is anything in the report, for it would
be one of the most foolish things this
or any other administration ever I'M
dertook. In the first place, we do not
need any alliance to conduct our
own quarrels. We are able to take
care of ourselves, and an alliance with
some other power, particularly those
on the other side of the water would be
especially repugnant to the people of
this country. | am confident there is
nothing in it, and if there was, and it
should be submitted to the Senate as it
doubtless would be, that body would
not sanction it.

Patronize Home Industries.
Communicated

johnson City has for the past six
years been between the upper and
neither stone, and in many ways had
more to contend with than almost any
town in the land, yet it can betruthfully
said that there is not better town for
its population in the south There is
not a town in the south that is more
advantageously located for manufac-
turing and better supported by its sur
rouRdings than is Johnson City. She
has in addition to her natural advant-
ages, more factories in operation, and
employ more people at fair wages than
any of its sister towns. We have sew
eral industries here that produce those
things that our people consume, yet be
it said to the shame OF our town, that
those very things which are Eanufac-
tured here are brought here frem dis
tance and seld to and consumed by our
people. Why not patronize home in
dustry and instead of sending our
money out of town keep it here to help
swell the volume of circulation, and to
pay our employed labor.
Men who locate here and spend their
money in employing labor, and give a
home market for many things we would
have to sell to distant marts, are en-
titled to the hearty support of every in
diyidual Of Johnson City, all things
being equal
Ii we will make an individual applica-
ton of the above rule we will before a
great while feel the good effects thereof
by the way of encouraging new inter
prises to lscate here, and by stimula-
ting and fostering those we already
have. Try it and see.
