Populists' View of Butler.

Chairman Butler, through his personal
organ and otherwise, is advocating State
and national cooperation with the Demo
Gratis. We are not at all surprised. In
fact, this has been plainly apparent since
1896. Doubtless Mr.. Butler was laying
lis "harbor mines" when he and others
delayed the National Populist Convention
in 1896 in order to allow the Democrats to
get on the ground first with candidate
and platform. Many good men were mis-
led in that matter, but we hardly think
Senator Butler was caught mapping. At
any rate, his political course since has
been such that no one need longer doubt
that he hopes to land on soft spot in the
Democratic camp and carry as many as
possible with him.
We care but little about Chairman But
ler's political schemes, and being heartily
in favor of liberty of thought and speech,
we must say that if be thinks it best to
90 into some other political party, he
should do so. But he should 60 like a
man and seek to carry his personal fol-
lowers in the same way.
1t seems to be the height of folly to ex-
pect reforms from party that we were
forced to leave on account of its insin-
cerity, party which has fought us at every
point, that declined to give us single re-
form when it had full power. We do not
believe at any great number Of reformers
have any faith in any such plans, and the
great masses are not willing to be traded
away inthe manner indicated above.-Pro-
gressive Farmer (Populist).

the theatre that he was much shocked at
the receipt of this letter, for he for months
had believed that Mr.. Haggard was dead.
Mr.. Haggard then tried to get him to con-

his statement, and looked upon his request

A VOLUNTEER ARMY.

Congress has passed a bill for voun-
teer army, and under its provisions the
President has called for 125, 900 volunteers.
They will be apportioned among the
States OF the Union on the basis of their
population. If the 125, 900 men who vol
unteer in response to the call are ever seen
in battle we venture the assertion that
they will fully sustain the reputation of
the American volunteer soldiery. The
civil war showed what such soldiers were.
No Drawer, truer men ever stood upon a
battle field than tie soldiers Of the South
and the North who faced each other at
Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Sharpsburg,
Fredericksburg and hundreds of other
places in the sixties. When the volun-
teers of the South and the North stand
shoulder to shoulder, and march upon a
foreign foe with cold Glory" floating
above them, brave deeds will surely follow.

we're preventing the plain people from

howl of indignation that the money to
carry on the war is to be raised by levy
ing tax on the poor mans cup of tea
Take it out of the income of the rich, !"
is the cry, which is nothing more nor less
than demand that the entire expense of
lhe war be borne by tie rich men of the
land, for it is well understood that this
proposed income tax is not a tax upon all
incomes, but only upon those in excess of
81 900.
There you have an expression of that
dangerous revolutionary spirit to which
we have referred more than once of late
in these columns. 1t is a spirit of conf
munism and is to be viewed with alarm.
Is it not enough that war shall come, but
it niust be carried on only at the expense
ofthe rich.
There is, much more in this war with
Spair than desire either to free Cuba or
to avenge the Maine disaster.

AMERICAN PATRlOiIsM.

Among the American people there have
been many views held as to the necessity
of war with Spain. There have been
some who have held the opinion that such
war would be unjust, illegal and unpro-
voked. Others have thought while there
might be legitimate reasons for declara-
ton of hostilities that all honorable means
should be used to preventa conflict. There
were still others who were eager to plunge

SURRENDER OF THE CITY
WILL SOON BE DEMANDED
Merritt Will Cooperate With Dewey
Twelve Thousand American Troops
Have Reached Cavite-Merritt's
Advices Cause Concern at Wash
ingtOn.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-Gen. Merritt
has again cabled the war department as
TO the situation at Manila, which be
6inds very unsatisfactory and dangerous
owing to the attitude of the insurgents.
In the opinion of Merritt, the attitude
of the insurgents there is similar to that
assumed by Garcia's Cubans at Santi-
ago. Upon the question of their right
to enter and possess themselves of the
city it is thought in this case the insur-
gents are very much more formidable
element, but not only more numerous
but better armed, and filed with AFRO
gance growing out OF their hume rous
victories over their Spanish foes. Mer-
ritt, however, indicates that he will do
his utmost to protect the citizens from
the savagry of the insurgents, though
the task is delicate and difficult one,
because of the fact that he must, while
fighting the Spaniards, be ready at any
moment to repel the insurgents
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Dewey in a joint
demand tor the surrender of the city,
thus forestalliDg the insurgents, and
this movement may cause a rupture.
1t is possible, in view of the fact that
-Merritt's cablegran was sent from Cav
ute last Thursday, that this movement
has been made already by the combined
American military and naval forces, al
though there is some doubt on this
point on account of a statement from
Merritt that he will receive all his sol.
'diers before attacking. It is possible
the demand will be made without being
followed by an attack, which may be
deferred until all the troops have
'xeached Cavite.
Up to the date of the report Merritt
had with him 1900 soldiers. In all,

seven expeditions have left San Fran
cisco and it is the intention to furnish
Merritt with at least 5000 men more
than HE present force. If he delays his
attack until all these have reached him,
Manila will not be taken before Septem-
Der, for the last troops have not yet
started from San Francisco.
Alger and Long are in conference with
the president over the serious situation
in the Philippines. They have import,
ant dispatches from both Merritt and
Dewey. Alger admitted the significance
of these dispatches, but declined to state
their exact nature.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
Daughters Should be Carefully
Guided in Early Womanhood.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughterl
Tradition SAYS woman must suffer-"
and young women are SO taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment and her mother should see
hat she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate TO take their
daughters to a physician for examine
ton; but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
The following letterfrom Miss MARIE
f. JOHNSON, Centralia, Pa, shows what
neglect will do, and tells how Mrs.
Pinkham helped her.:
"My health became SO poor h a 1
had to leave school. / was tired all the
time, and had dreadful pains in my
side and back. / was also troubled
with i~rregularity of menses. 1 was
very weak, and lost so much flesh that
my friends became alarmed. Ny
mother, who is a firm believer in your
remedies from experience, thought per-
haps they might benefit me, and wrote
you for advice. / followed the advice
you gave, and used Lydia L. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as
you directed, and am low as well as I
ever a l have gained flesh and have
a good color. l I'm completely cured Of
irregularity."
