The nomination of candidates for presl-
dent and vice president by the Peoples
party convention held at Cincinnati, Sept.
& is something extraordinary, in TACT, we
believe it is without precedent.
There are many Popuilsts VINO VIII DC
backward about committing themselves,
either wav as to the wisdom of the proceed
inps until YOU see which was the wind Is
blowing.
When the matter of holding such con-
yention for the purpose of nominating
cand dates was first talked of, some six
months ago. we were one of the first to
come out in favor of it, and we indorse
the action of the convention and shall
do all within our power to help elect the
ticket in 1900
The only argument brought against the
p;an of nominating candidates two years
before election day is that it will make
the campaign too long. and that It gives
the opposition more time in which to show
up the shortcomings of the candidates
If the Peoples Party was only interested
in getting the Offices, and were financially
able to run a three months torchlight-
procession campaign, and were not particu-
lar as to whether their candidates were
honest, this argument might hold good. But
,, the Peoples Party is interested In electing
honest men who will live up to the prin-
ciples of the party after they are elected,
and If the candidates are dishonest the
! people want to know it before they elect
! them, not afterward.
| The Peoples Party like all new parties
| is too poor to put millions Of dollars into
! q short campaign with bands and trains
! Of palace cars to blind the eyes Of the
people to the real issues before the pub
lie
! A new party must make converts by ap-
peating to their reason, while an old party
| simply appeals to their prejudices, so the
| longer the Peoples Party keeps their can
didates and principles before the people
| the greater chance they have of winning
victory. The candidates. Wharton Barker
| and Ignatius Donneliy, will stand the ties,
! of time. AS scholars. statesmen and phil.
! osophers they stand at the head of this ma
| ton today.
In our next issue we will give short bi
! Ographies of these two eminent men.-L. c.

Col. Bryan, of the srd Nebraska infantry.
for the discharging of a number o. men
of that regiment, who desire TO return to

case of favorable action by the reviewing

with him. After he had left Arnold
and had passed all of the American

of his guilt were found on his person,

He was hanged at Tappan on OCTOBER

VALUE OF IORPEOO-BOATS.
Results OF Tests Already Made Their Veal
Points.

one of the chief causes of the ner-
vousnoss and Impotence of many of
the officers and seamen of our blockad
ing fleet while stationed here, writes
the Key West correspondent of the
New York Post, was the recurrent rum
ors of the advance of the Spanish tor
pedo-hoat tiotilla from the Cape Verde
Islands. At one time il was currently
reported that this hotilla had actually
reached Porto Rico and an approach
so near to the Key West station was
felt to he a hanging menace. 1t was
gravely regretted also that these boats
had obtained the advantage of cover in
port 50 close to our base of operations.
There can be no ground for question
ing the bravery of American Seamen as
a body. None of the captains or other
officers of the fleet would have finched
for a moment. if called upon to meet Il
torpedo boat in the discharge of their
duty. But the supposed menace was
distinctly a strain on their nerves. This
was the more raSping because of their
uncertainty in regard to the actual
offensive service of torpedo-boatS and
torpedo boat destroyers. The extent
OF TINS service IS largely an unknown
quantity today. In the unknown there
is inevitably a far-reaching range for
apprehension.
1t is possible that the present war
will afford opportunities for estimating
closely the comparative service of tor
pedo-boats and the available range of
their employment. Until there has been
such a demonstration. it would he rash
to forecast any conclusion with assur-
ance. Hosea Biglows sage maxim.
