TELHGRAPHERs' DEMANDS.
The Norfolk and Western Makes Certain
Concessions.


The authorities of the Norfolk and
Western railway, it is said, have made
certain concessions in the way Of increase
to the salaries of the army of telegraph
ers in its employ throughout the entire
system.
AT a meeting held in Roanoke not many
days ago of the Order of Railway Tele-
graphers, an organization which mum bers
members wherever in this country tie
mystic current tells its staccate story, a
schedule of salaries for the operators of
the Norfolk and Western system has been
agreed upon.
The reasons assigned for particulariz
ing the Norfolk and Western system for
the schedule are, first, that the road oper.
ates trains in number much greater than
roads that pay the same salaries of the
telegraphers as the Norfolk and Western
does at present; secondly. that in almost
oO per cent. of the stations the operators
In ire signal towers are compelled to
handle the switch and signal levers In
addition to the receiving and transmit
ting of messages
The salaries now paid these men, it is
said is forty dollars II onth. The sched-
ule calls for e monthly salary of forty
five dollars. with ten days vacation in
summer, with full pay.
What lends decided significance to
the situation is the openly, avowed SYM
pathy of the te)egra piers cause by the
Order OF Locomotive Engineers end the
Order of Railway Conductors, who, it IS
claim ed, joined the operators in their de-
MAIDS.
While the above is the schedule de.
manded, it is believed that compromise
schedule was finally accepted. Rich

HOW 1T GREW.

The first time the Populsts made a state
campaign in Texas, was in 1892 when
Judge Nugent, a good and able man, re-
celVed 10000 votes Tor governor. In 1894
Judge Nugent received 1862 eco votes for
governor, a gain of 81 900. In 1896 Jerome
kearby received 23S 600 votes, a gain over
the vote for Judge Nugent of 1894 of rs 900
votes, and this by free silver Democratic
count.-Exchange.
This shows the possibilities of growth
In the Peoples party if it only stands
by it's principles. The Pcpulists of
Texas refused to support Bryan aid
they gained SEVENTY-SIX THOUS-
AND VOTES. We do not say they
were right in refusing, under the
circumstances to support Bryan; but
we do say that the result in Texas
shows that the Popullsts are stronger
standing on their own legs than they
are EMBODIED in the embrace of De-
mocracy.
But there are men whose minds can
not rise to the level Of great principles,
but who place their faith in little
dickers and trades and all the small
arts of petty pot-house politicians. We
saw the Republican party grow in
1860 from small minority
to an overwhelming majority,
and 1t was not done by fusing
with the Wing or Democratic party
either. 1t was the gigantic sweeping
force Of great principles which appeal
ed to the hearts and souls of millions.
1t was:
The God-like power, the art Napoleon,
OF winning, moulding, welding, lick
ing, banding,
The minds of millions till they moved
as one.
And the issues today are a thousand
times greater than they were in 1860.
The question then was the liberty of rhe
black race. Today it is the preservation
OF the republic and the saving Of the
whole human family from everlasting
bondage
Can we not rise to that level?
Great God Is the world to be sac
rificed to few base pie-hunters, who
really, at heart, have no sympathy
with the principles which our party was
formed to advocate, and who would
let them all slide if they could fill their
damnable bellies. l. D.

HECTOR M'LEAN SAYS FUSE.

Readers Of Hector McLean's letter
elsewhere will recall the raid of the
James and Younger brothers on the
Mortified bank. It will be. remem-
bered that one of the Youngers was
plugged with lead from a Mortified
rifle, and In the flight toward Madeia
it was proposed to abandon him to
make certain the escape of the others.
Brctherly love Of Cole Younger pre-
vented such action and landed the
Youngers in life bondage.
In 1896 the Democratic gang fed
from the wrath Of an enraged republic.
The Eastern Cleveland, Tammany Oem
ocratic brother was plugged with the
shafts Of the peoples vengeance. He
was poisoned with the foul atmosphere
of Wall street. He had committed the
again we find brotherly love of the
Western Democrat overpowering all
other considerations, and censuring
also the Populist brothers because they
protest and refuse to stand by the
criminals and thus indorse crimes to
which in this instance they were not
a party. The fusionists, like Cole
Younger, would subject the whole re-
form force to perpetual servitllde
through the strength of a party tie.
The Populists would abandon the guilty
gang and strike for liberty. E. A. r.

HONEST MEN MAY DISAGREE.

Those who read in his issue Col
Norton's able counsel to his party will
be interested in some arguments rre-
scented in favor Of fusion by E. f. Part
ridge, OF Fergus Falls. We believe the
views of Col. Norton will meet the
almost unanimous approval of the rank
and file Of our party. We believe it to
be a conservative, we'll considered and
sound document.
Some hot-headed, over-zealous cranky
members of the party will still insist
upon, as he expresses it, "bucking their
heads against a stone wall"
Fusionsts will also be found who are
mentally near-sighted and are there
fore unable to see any distinction be-
tween Democrats and the Democratic
party. At short range they can see
clearly the Popuism of Bryan, Altgcld
and other western Democrats. With the
aid Of spectacles they read of Bryal,s
eloquence and the 16 to l clause in
the Chicago platform. Beyond that
their vision grows dim.
They cannot read the Democratic
partys record of 20 years in congress.
The coin redemption clause inserted in
the Chicago platform by the Demo-
cratic party, Tammany, is too insignif-
cant for them to decipher Tears of icy
at Bryan's nomination blind their eyes
to his plutocratic, Democratic, Wall
street Partner Sewall held on the tick
ct throughout the campaign of 1896,
not by western Democrats but by the
eastern, Tammany Democratic party.
These fusionists can see clearly the
Democratic needle but they can't see

GROSS INPERTINENCE,

The effort that has been made and is
Icing made in Minneapolis by a few
men to force the Peoples party in
Minnesota into another fusion combi-
nation with the Democrats is the most
shameless piece of impertinence that
we ever heard of.
If it is really the desire of the ma
]crity Of the Peoples party of the state
tbut we don't believe anything Of the
kind, to repeat the experiment of last
year, it can only be done by THE PEG
PIES PARTY ITSELF IN STATE
CONVENTION REGULARLY AS
SEMBLED; no dozen or half dozen men
in any city or county have a right to
force the members of the People $
party into such fusion WITHOUT
THEIR BEING CONSULTED UPON
THE QUESTION. til
In the Minneapolis journal" of last
Friday, we see these men engaged
in the deliberate work of constructing
q new party, made up Of Populists,
Silver Republicans and Democrats

aggerating this gross impertinence we

we don't believe they deliver the goods,
and we appeal to every loyal Democrat in the

stand that they need expect aid from the
Democratic party in the coming contest in this
state. The idea of fusion. Fusion with what
Why with lot of disgrunted Republican and

Not if the court knows ITSELF and we think it
does. -
The Times is correct in it's estimate Of
fusion. 1t is the most illogical thing in
connection with the politics Of the day
and is based upon nothing but the selfish
desires of professional politicians. And the
prospects are that the unnatural amalga-
nation Of last year will not be repeated
In the next campaign with anything like
the same assurance of success which at
tended Its operations then. The straight
Democrats and the middle-of-tbe-road
Populists, not only in Minnesota, but in the
other states where the Bryan idea took
root in 1896. have had their eyes opened
very wide as to the Influences behind the
scheme, and can hardly be seduced to its

THE HEART Is EVER YOUNG.

From the Minneapolis Tribuneo
All Minnesotians and a good MANY others
to whom the fame of the Sage of MIMI
ger" is known, are Interested in the ro-
nance which prompts him, at the
mature age of &C, to lead
to the altar charming young
lady of 81. Mr.. Donnelly is still vigorous
in mind and body, and everybody, without
regard to politics or opinions upon the
Shake speare-Bacon controversy, will wish
MN many years of welded happiness.
May he experience a renewal of his youth
ana continue to charm the public with his
brillinat oratory and ingenious literary eff
forts far into the fast-approaching new
century.
A parallel case to Mr.. Donnelly's romance
is that of Prof. Alexander NJ Bell, Of
washington, ID. c., the father of A.
aham Bell, the inventor of the telephone
and himself scientist of high reputation,
who has just been married to Mrs H. G..
Shit Icy of Perth, Ont. Prof Bell is IS
years of age-12 years older than Mr.. Dom
nelly-but remarkably we'll preserved. His
first wife died two years ago lust a wear
after Mrs. Shibley's husband left her a
widow. About two months ago he saw a
portrait OF Mrs. S. at the house Of a friend
and straghtway fell in love with it, He
sought an introduction to his charmer. and
when they met he told her that her picture
did not half do her justice. The widow
could not resist the compliment of the
ancient but gallant swain, and a speedy en-
gagement was the result, followed quickly
by a marriage. The bride was not a young
girl, but widow of Sc, but judging from
her published picture still youthful and
charming in appearance.
Prof Bell, in talking of his marriage,
said: Neither white hairs nor wears make
men old, and the heart has no age At II
l was not more ardenty in love than I
am now. The age at which one ceases to
fall in love never comes"
There is comfort in all thi., for those OF
us who are fallen into the sere and yell
low leaf" There is French saying. we
believe that "a is only as old as he
feels and a woman is as young as she
looks 1t is not the fashion, nova days,
for people past the meridian to retire into
the chimney corner and linger out their
last years in dlenes;s and dreams. 1t 10
better to wear out than to rust out Cour-
age and determination not to succumb TO
the assaults of time, combined with a
cheerful disposition and buoyant health.
may render the closing act of Hfe's drama
OF the whole as happy as the opening one.
III there Is less enthusiasm, there IS more
calmnesS and repose. Ii there is less
strength, there is more wisdom. The best
ADVICE that can be given to those who have
fedcneu inc summit and arc the down
grade OF life's journey is to keep al work
ana die in harness. So long as life lasts
the springs of love and ambition should
be perennial.

! the party hay stack from which It
protrudes. At the st. Louis convention
Southern Populists almost unanimous
ly opposed fusion because they had
seen the real Democratic party In all
its cussedness. They had "seen the
cat" and had experience with feline
treachery and with protestations and
entreaties they warned their Western
and Northwestern brothers of it's claws.
In every issue of the Southern papers
we read of Tammany extending it's jEr-
isdictiOn, first over Greater New York,
thence over New England, thence from
Maryland to Texas. In the North
west our Populist brothers are reading
about Bryan and the rejuvenated, i'm
maculate, sanctified Democracy, and
pleading for fusion.
We do not question the sincerity of
Brother Partridges action at st. Louis.
Many others were also sincere in vot-
ing for fusion. A few fusion leaders as
usual caucused prior to the convention
convention and surrounded the great
body Of honest delegates with fusion
environments. Men are Influenced by
their environments however able they
may be and a Democratic chairman
aided by a few kilograms and fusion
co-workers whirled the convention into
line. The few trusted leaders sold us
out for promised offices and the ma
jOrity donated their votes without price
to the same end, sort Of give away"
We are pleased to publish Brother
Partridges letter because it Is an
earnest and we believe an honest plea
for fusion. Having been Republican
it is unlikely that he is biased in favor
OF Democracy. and yet we are forced
to believe that he has become more
familiar with Minnesota Democrats
than with national Democracy. His
letter Is frank and outspoken, entitled
to the consideration of our readers and
will get 1t. We would, however, eau
ton Brother Partridge that before he
asserts that In congress the Democrats
and Populists have voted very we'll to-
gether, he should have his Populist fel-
low townsman, ex-Congressman Boen
searched for concealed weapons 1t IS
doubtful whether Brother Boon would
consider the long distance between
Fergus Falls and Washington suffi-
