lists do all the fusing, make all the
sacrifices, because of an aversion to
Populist policies and an inward dispo-
sition to serve the moneyed oligarchy,
or because they would rather see the
reforms upon basis OF which they ask
fusion defeated than to surrender any
prospective spoils of Office to insure
their success, Populists cannot trust
them to carry out such reforms. There
fore, whether it be that the Democratic
leaders are opposed to recognizing the
principles of true Democracy or hold
the spoils of Office dearer than princi-
pie and are ready to sacrifice principle
for place and power, there can be no
banners they hold aloft, for though
there may be inscribed upon those ban
ners the tenet of true Democracy that
| is upheld and dear to all Populists,
equality of opportunity to all, special
privileges to none, though there may
be emblazoned thereon the words
freedom, liberty, equality, there can
be no dependence upon those carrying
the banners to resist the aggressiOns
of the moneyed oligarchy, to go in de-
tense OF freedom, liberty, equality, but
rather a certainty that either from
disposition or for the emoluments that
the moneyed few have it in their power
to bestow, they will lend themselves to
the furtherance of the plans of the
moneyed oligarchy to enslave man
kind And SO again we repeat there
can be no union of the forces of reform
under the Democratic party, for it's
success would give no assurance of re-
form, no assurance that the rights of
man to an equality of opportunity
would be fully protected against the
encroachment of moneyed oligarchy.
1t is true that Mr., Bryan asserts that
''co-operation does not contemplate
the abandonment of party organiza
ton or the surrender of any political
principles" But whatever may be
contemplated we must judge the future

Mcintosh county Populists in Mass
meeting having selected three delegates
Nelson Amos, Isaac Gary and R K
Walker, to State convention to be held
in Atlanta on March 10th passed the
following resolutions:
l That we place no confidence IN
Democratic pledges to reduce taxation;
for We having had Democrats continu-
ously administering our government
since the days of Bulloch, find our taxes
higher now than ever before, and
harder to pay.
That they have broken their pledge
to do away with the convict lease sys-
TEN, and that in the matter so import
ant as selecting judges of our courts,
they have passed bill whereby the
will of the people in any judicial r
cult can be over-ridden by the votes Of
those living outside of said circuit
2 We demand the repeal of this law,
and that law be passed giving voters
in each judicial circuit the right to
select their jud ges. We further demand
that the rights guaranteed by the con
stitution be restored, so that all the
officers who look after county and city
affairs, shall be selected by popular
vote, and not as is now the case in
some of our counties, appointed by
grand juries
5. We pledge ourselves to work earn
estly and faithfully to elect men to
office who have the interest of all the
people at heart.

Traitors in Camp.

Mr.. Bailey, the democratic leader in
congress, says: ST have been criticised
for my opposition to fusion. I am
against fusion because L am a demo-
crat. In Texas we do not need fusion
to win. If 1 lived in Kansas might
be willing to fuse with the Populists
against the republicans. But the fu-
sion ticket would have to be labeled
the democratic ticket to command my
support"
Thus it will be seen, that men of the
Bailey stripe, who are placed in the
lead of the democratic hosts, would
rather destroy the country, or see the
people in slavery rather than fuse with
the people who are in dead earnest in
their efforts for reform. Such men as
Bailey when crisis comes up as be-
tween the people and plutocracy, will
always be found on the side of the
enemy. Nevada Director.

vention the charge would be made at

The fusionists are not having much
to say about the action of the national

The Democrats are claiming great
credit for voting for the adoption of
the Teller resolutieIa which provides
for the payment II bonds in either
gold or silver as the government
chooses This is the same resolution
which the republicans passed 20 years
ago. Under the law the bonds can be
paid that way now; but a Democratic
congress passed law to stop the eoin-
age of silver dollars. The Democrats
are great reformers when out OF power.

Seven Centuries of Coal

According to the most authentic his tory of the coal trade, last year mark ed the seven hundredth anniversary of the use of coal as fuel. Taking the most moderate estimate of the an- tiquity of man, and considering the fact that the coal was always here, 1t ap- pears that we were long time In avail ing ourselves of this most valuable asset which nature placed at our dis posal.
 Many civilizations fiourished and died out without its use, and 1t may be said that its potentialities as factor in the progress of mankind were never real ized fully until the present century. Up to It's dawn, aside from the warming of the body and the cooking of food, little importance was attached to the fuel question. For these purposes a few fagots or billets of wood sufflced. But

Americans have been surprised by the evidence of the hostility of conti- mental Europe to the stand this coun- try has taken on the Cuban question. We have disclalmed q desire to annex Cuba to the United States: we have no race hostility to Spain or to Spaniards: we have left to ourselves no motive to war, and nothing to gain by success, save to deliver the island from mlsrule and barbarity. Yet we are described throughout the continent as little bet ter than brigands. It would be open to us to retort, If It were worth while, that France. which has diSmembered Siam and seized Madagascar; that Russia, which has overrun Asia; that Germany, which has carved a slice off China, which coyets Samoa, which de priyed Denmark of Schleswig- Holstein and France of AlsaCe- Ioralne; that Austria Hungary, which took from Turkey Its provinces of Bosnia and the Herzegovina-that not one of these countries is in a position to reproach us with territorial brigandage. If the charge were true. Of course 1t Is not that they are shocked at the thought that We could contemplate taking pos session of Cuba. The explanation Is doubtless twofold. In the first place, they do not relish the idea of the Uni- ted States having any part Tn European politics. However ready they may be to take territory from one another. or from sOvereigns whom they regard as harharians they do not wish America to dispossess one of them of one of its colonies, even if 1t Is not to take that colony as its own. But there Is some thing much deeper than this. They are all excessively jealous of Great Britain, and of its power In all parts of the world They see that this war has brought England and the United States upon terms, not of alliance, but of sym pathy and friendship, which are better than any paper alliance. Fortunately their outspoken III will can do us no harm. Not one of them dares. and even all of them combined would hardly dare. to put their hostility In practice, so long as England stands ready-as she seems to do-to be as active in our behalf as they are against us. So the friendship of Great Britain at this time Is of far more consequence to us than Is the yelled hostility of all Europe. Let us hope that John Bulls fine atti- tude toward us may lead us all to think of something beside our old griev- ances against him.

 The Mauser bullet ls specially pre- pared so that it cannot mushroom" IL can also be specially prepared 80 that 1t will and Spain's troops have found out how to do 1t. The Mauser bullet inhicts a wound horrible enough. even without the Spanish improvement If one of the ordinary bullets hits a man in the chest at 1000 yards it will pass through him The hole at the point of entrance would not admit the little finger of q surgeon, but that at the point of exit would admit his clenched fist.

 The Mauser bullet Is fired at a high velocity. This 1t was found at first, "stripped- the ordinary leaden bullets in the barrel of the gun It was also shown that because of this same veloc- lty the bullets would assume strange shapes and inflict the most horrible wounds. Partly to prevent this loss of weight In the bullet and partly from the dictates of humanity the ordnance experts of every country have invaria- bly insisted that the leaden bullets shall be inclosed In a hardened casing of copper, German silver or nickeled steel The Spaniards are supposed to incase their bullets in nickeled copper. All that Is necessary to convert one of the most humane of proJectiles Into the most savagely destructive missile ever devised by man Is to file or cut away part of the hardened casing covering the point of the bullet The soft lead, thus exposed. will spread the second 1t strikes anything, and, on the body of a man, will make a hole as big as q football British troops at Chitral used bullets of this description on one occasion and the act drew down upon them the condemnation of military men of their own and other nations.

Paper.

Paper horSeShoes are now being used by some of the Chicago blacksmiths The horseshoers themselves are not re- sponsible for the innovation, but 1t Is due to some of the owners of fine horse flesh. After being saturated with oil or turpentine the paper Is glued together in thin layers with q cement which does not become brittle when drying, being q mixture of Venetian turpentine. pow dered chalk, linseed oil and lacquer The holes through which nails are driv- on to faSten the shoes to the hoof are stamped through the paper when moist. Then the shoe Is placed under hydrau- lie press and subjected to a strong pres sure.
 When fitting the shoe to the hoof 1t can be filed or planed to fit as snugly as may be necessary. The shoes made of paper are said to be stronger and better than those of iron. just as car wheels of paper are superior to those of iron. Another advantage claimed Is that horse wearing paper shoes Is not likely to slip when travelling on slip pery roads.
