been defeated many times, but they still
live.
It may be to the interests Of both DEM
ocrats and Populists to again cooperate
In the next Presidential campaign. 1t
Is to be hoped that the will unite in
common efforts for common good. Just
how this is to be done is a subject for
discussion, but the path will not be made
any smoother for one party to say the
other is dead when it is not true. In
stead Of drawing the Populists to the
Democratic party such talk is driving
them away.
Before Populists will unite under the
Democratic banner the Democratic party
must convince them that they will not
repudiate the Chicago platform, but will
continue to progress. Populists are not
sure whether the national Democratic
party is a Bryan party or Cleveland
party. Until less than three years ago
1t was a Grover Cleveland party and
every well-informed person believes that
the goldbug monopolists wou. d still have
control Of the organization had it not
been for the educational work and influ-
ence Of the Peoples party Is it not
possible that the new party can still do
more In the direction of guiding the De-
mocracy along the straight and narrow
way as seperate organization than It
could do by disbanding? Democrats
should not forget that while they have
the advantage of a great and powerful
organization, they are somewhat new in
the reform business. At most they should
not expect Populists to run over each
other in their haste to join the Democ-
raCy until that party has fought the Sec
ond battle for the peoples rights.
Democrats should know by this time
that Populists cannot be herded; that
they can neither be bulldozed nor bufred
into joining the Democrats. Any attempt
of that kind only tends to mar the har-
mony that has heretofore existed be-
tween the two organizations There will
be time enough to cross the bridge when
we get to it.

be subject to recall by their respective
constituencies.
Mr.. Case said, referring to the plat
form:
II shall try, with my comrades who
have been elected, to take some steps to
bring each Of these matters before the
people. Our campaign is not a revolu-
tlOnary one but one Of education. We
shall force nothing down the throats of
the people, but will seek to educate them
until they ask for these things that we
recommend. That Is as far as can out
line our policy. There will be no general
turnover in the city hall, and we shall
try to do nothing but conduct the bust
ness of the city in the most careful and
honest manner do not expect opposi-
tion from the other parties In the city
council, but think we will have harmO-

Mr.. Chase, who will soon become the
executive head of the city with salary
OF $2,000 is peculiarly man Of the peO-
pie. He is only clerk in the co-opera-

Of the Haverhill Cooperative Society,
which controls this and other stores in
the city. He had been previously en-

Don't Crowd the Mourners.

Clay Center Dispatch.
Some of the Democratic leaders in this
State are doing great deal Of foolish
talking since the election upon the sub
ject Of uniting all reform parties under
one name. There appears to be general
desire among those who are opposed to
the Republican party to united If it can
be done successfully and satisfactorily,
but just how this can be done is a prob
lem that has not yet been settled. When
Democrats assert that the Peoples party
is dead and that it has Outlived its use
fulness they not only say that which is
untrue, but they are helping to make
the very end which they strive for that
much more difficult to accomplish. 1t
has the appearance of great big bluff
and they ought to know that it will not
work. The Peoples party is not dead
and 1t is not going to die simply because
somebody wants it to do so. Repubh-
cans have said every year since It's Or
ganization that it was dead, but they
have never been able to prove it. True,
1t was defeated in the last election, but
that was not the first time. The Repub-
lican and Democratic parties have both

School Books and Houses.

The State Superintendent of Public
Schools in Missouri in his report to the
Legislature makes the following sensi-
BILE suggestions in regard to healthful
school houses and free text books:
Existing school building annually
ruin the health Of thousands Of children.
This is not the utterance OF vision
ary am able to prove just what say.
1t should be made unlawful, under Sc
we're penalty, to erect or to add to any
public school house that does not con-
form to sanitary principles as to light,
ventilation, heating and seating A
County Board of Health, Of which the
County Superintendent is a member,
should be authorized and required to re-
port to the State Superintendent OF
Schools the building plans Of every new
school house to be erected or old one to
be remodeled. The State Superintendent
can very easily and without material ex-
pense furnish abundant instructions as
to sanitary architecture.
'T shall also recommend legislation
looking to the earliest possible adoption
OF free text book law. Such law pro-
vides at the least expense the only as
surance that all children will be ade-
Quately supplied with books. Our Mis-
souri, politicians have grossly exagger-
ated the cost of the school text books.
There should be at this time, outside Of
st. Louis, Kansas City and st. Joseph,
about 100000 children enrolled in our
public schools and effected by the ex-
listing State uniformity law. If these
children were fully supplied with text
books, according to the best existing
school curricula, the value Of all their
books, at retail price when new, would
average about 9S cents per child. AS
matter of fact, however, the actual av-
erage value never does reach what the
curriculum requires. know Of one good
school where the value OF books amounts
$3.50 per child. But there are hundreds
of others not good where the average
value Of all school text books never
amounts to 80 cents per child. Universal
education is not possible without
scheme Of school equipment itself uni
versal in scope. The drift Of intelligent
sentiment in this country is strongly and
almost uniformly In favor OF free text
books for public schools.

ocratiC party to the high standard which
1t assumed in It's last national conVen-
tion. Take away this balance wheel and
the temptation to compromise with the
Eastern wing Of the party would be very
strong. The Western Democrats, who
are in full and active sympathy with
the Populist party, will find themselves
benefited in the end by the present firm
stand Of the Populists.
Our duty as POpulists is plain. We
should sit right down on the coat tail
Of our cousins, the Democrats, and hold
them steady to the work. Should COM
promise in any form come, then the Pop
ulist party will grow more rapidly than
ever before, and the Democrats party in
the West will dlsintegrate.

Massachusetts' Socialist Mayor.


Haverhill, Mass, Dec. S,--An ayowed
disciple Of Social Democracy will, on
january 2, be inaugurated mayor Of this
city, being, so Far as known, the first
Bociallst to be elected to an admlnistra-
tive Office in this country.
BY the munlcial election Monday, John
G, Chase, aged % years, a clerk in a CO.
operative grocery store, was elected

Democracy, by a plurality Of $50 votes

candidates for aldermen and for council
men. Chase declares that his only pur-

Party Abandonment Bad Policy.

kBwrenoe JeRersonan.
} A number Of the leaders and would-be
leaders Of the Democratic and Populist
PARTIES are having much to say about the
future OF the Populist party. 1t is little
premature. It Is long time before an
other national election, and many
changes may come about. To talk Of the
PopulIsts abandoning their party and go
ing over in a body to the Democratic
ranks at this time is bad policy. II Will
liam Jennings Bryan can control the
Democratic party 1t might be different,
hut IL the Dick Croker element Is to con-
troll, these fellows who have been rushing
into print with interviews will be placed
10 the role Of unsafe and visionary lead
ers. The Democracy Of Bryan and the
Chicago platform is good enough for
any one, but the indications now are that
The conservatives may control the next
Democratic convention. All the mOnop-
Olies, trusts, combines and everything

Wellington Voice.
The Peoples party will not dIsband.
II will become a more formidable factor
in the affairs Of 1900 than it was in 1896.
Tully Scott (Dem.), Of 0berlln, spoke
the truth when he said there was a
sincere doubt in the mind Of the av-
erage Populist as to whether the Demo-
cratic party would be able to maintain
in 1900 the stand it took in 1896, and
until that was fully determined he would
be 10th to let go his hold on the Popu-
list organization" This is true, and it
furnishes the reason why Populists
should be more cohesive now than ever
Before. BY maintaining its strong in
dividuallty the Populist party will serve
as a balance wheel in holding the Dem
