FusIon sentiment strone.

1t looks very much as if the effort TO
bring about fusion between the Democrats,
Populists and Silver Republicans for the
congressional campaign would be sue
cessful. The Midd,e-of-the- Road Popu-
lists are Directing 70 fusion. but they are
discovering that they are so.much in the
minority that the abilities are that
they will cease to contend against it. In
our dispatches yesterday it was stated that
at the Populist convention held in Mime
apolis on Thursday, the fusion sentiment
prevailed, Notwithstanding the vigorous
protests of the Middle-of-the- Road e,e-
ment. That means. of course, that in
Minnesota there will be fusion. in state
and national elections. of all the forces
opposed to the Republican party. Sena-
tor Butler Of North Carolina was one OF the
speakers at the Minneapolis convention.
He went to Minneapolis in the interest of
fusion, he being one of the three leaders
who sent out an appeal recently in behalf
Of fusion, the others being Senator Jones,
chairman of the national Democratic com
mttee, and Mr.. Towne, representing the
Silver Republicans.
OF special interest in this state is the
question, what effect will the appeal have
in Georgia? The feeling between the
Democrats and Populists is very bitter
so bitter, in fact that thus far we have
not heard of any steps being taken to
bring them together in the election for
congressman, much less in the election for
state officers. 1t would not be possible to
get them to act in harmony in the state
election, and the chances are against flu
sion in the election for congressman.
The situation is radically different in this
state from what it is in the Western
states. Here there is no thoroughly or
ganized Republican party, and especially
no Silver Republicans, If there were a
strongs and thoroughly organized Repub-
lican party there would be prospect for
fusion between Democrats and Populists.
But, under existing conditions, there is a
much better prospect of fusion between
POpulists and Republicans than there is
between Democrats and Populists. Moth
ing would give the Populists greater salts
faction than to wrest the control of the
state from the Democrats. That they can
not do, however, although 1t is apparent
that some Of them think they can. They
are beginning already to elect delegates to
their state convention, which will be held
much earlier than the state convention of
the Democrats. Their purpose is to name
a strong ticket, one that will command
respect, and to make vigorous campaign.
But, however Vigorous a campaign they
may make they will not succeed in elect
ing their ticket. They will not poll as
many votes as they did in the last state
election. because many of the members of
the Populist party have become tired of
that party, and have returned to the Dem
ocratic party. 1t is in the West not in
the South, where there will be fusion, and
where the battle between the fusion forces
and the Republican party will be fought.

The strange Part of 1t.

From the Washington Star.
1 love to hear certain learned friend of
mine crate
On our modern institutions and their dire,
degenerate state.
When he talks about the drama, how he
scores the coryphees!
And asks how long the public will permit
such things as these!
He speaks of our performers as mere pig
mics in an age
Where there is no chance of viewing real
genius on the stage
And the plays are less than trifling and the
wit which men should prize
To buffoonery has weakened, which must
needs demoralize--
But he goes to see 'em.
And the novels that are published! How he
puts EN- meath the lash
And wonders how the people can endure
such tawdry trash.
The authors and their managers without
remorse he scores
And declares that they're "pernicious" or
"unmitigated bores."
He VOWS that they are callow save in cases
where we find
Too much sophistication for the really
well-bred mind
And he wishes for bonfire which as sus-
tenance would claim
Most volumes that have been and are he
coming known TO fame
But he buys 'em.
And when he talks of politics-thats when
his flinty ire
Into the finder of my dull intelligence
strikes fire.
He shows how politicians with their rnech-
anism bold
Have quite usurped the places that ability
should hold.
And how some willy people will by plots
and cunning snares
Rank with the great and righteous In the
national affairs.
With scorn he tells how these politicians
bad have made
What should be patriotism into usury and
trade
But he votes for EN-

Fire Department Suggestions.

1t seems that some fire department sug-
gestions are in order On Thursday after
noon the department was called out, and
rushed furiousy through the busiest part
of the town, to put out blaze in an ash
barrel A few hours later the department
was again called out because a chimney
was blazing. There should be some means
devised to give attention to these little fires
without alarming the whole city and call
ing out all of the apparatus for the district
in which the blaze occurs. Another sug-
gestion is that there should be more care
exercised in driving the apparatus around
corners and down the crowded business
streets. At present there is too much hurry
to get to the fire. and not enough after the
fire is reached. The run is the spectacular
part of the business, and it is often made
intensely dramatic, with flying, careening
engines, and citizens lodging and falling
over each other to save their bones. Again,
if it is worth while having an alarm bell,
the big Duke" it is worth while having
that bell strike the alarm correctly;
thing which 1t has not done for probably
a month or more. AT present the Big
Duke seems to go into Mysteries every
time an alarm is pulled, and is just as apt
to strike twenty as the proper number.
