Lewiston Journal: The Populist
party in Maine, which cast 1928 votes
in 1894. practically disappeared on
Monday.-nearly the whole vote cast
going to the Bryan-Democratic ticket.
While The Populists probably think
that inasmuch as the Chicago Demo-
cratic platform IS practically Popu-
list declaration, there is no necessity OF
their maintaining separate organiza-
ton, yet the disappearance in Maine
of an organization which appeared first
in Maine In the name Of greenback
party in 1876. and cast 41.371 votes in
1878, subsequently taking on the name
Of Peoples party. Is noteworthy in
cident in Maine politics. The transfer
to the Democratic party of nearly all
the 5000 voters who In 1894 voted the
Populist ticket. does not affect the
relative position of the Republican
party to the opposition, but it increases
the Democratic vote to that extent
cutting down the Republican plurality
but not affecting the Republican
majority. Another effect of the trans
fer will be TO make the Democratic
party of Maine more distinctly Bryan

The number of the Khalifa's troops
killed and wounded, as reported by
General Kitchener's officers, is over
10000. That Of the Anglo Egyptian
force is about 200. In other words. the
invading army suffered almost no loss,
while the attacking party met with
such destruction of it's men that the
retirement of the Khaqifa was not
equivalent to the drawing off of his
troops, but simply the escape of a
small fraction of the body of fighting
men engaged. 1t is very doubtful if
such wholesale slaughter was ever be-
fore inflicted on a large army, and it is
certain that none like it. even on the
occasion of Gordon's attempted rescue.
was ever recorded in the Soudan. The
Soudanese. of course, could not have
persisted at such rate if they had had
to meet with fire from infantrymen
alone or from small arms supported by
artillery. The work of blood was done
by machine guns and shells charged
with the new explosive, "lyddite."
The fact is noticeable, in the first
place, that the dervishes fought right
up to the range of these projectiles.
In the next place. there is no mystery
about why they could not rush the
British lines. They had neither men
nor strategy enough to pass through
the zone of fire. The fierceness of the
sweeping storm of projectiles was even
stronger than their bravery and
fanaticism.

The salllng Of Our Spanish Guests.


1t was, no doubt, with a strange
mixture OF feelings that the 1900 Span
ish sailors took their departure from
Portsmouth for Spain. few days ago.
For over two months they had been
prisoners of war at Camp Long. on
Seavey island, enjoying the delightful
fat at Uncle Sans expense. and being
better treated than ever before in their
lives. After the awful nightmare Of
the destruction of their proud fleet and
the killing of hundreds OF their COM
rades they had found themselves quak-
ing and sullen captives In the hands OF
the hated e.:American pigs" But the
kindness and consideration shown
them SOON. won their confidence and
gratitude. ana there is no hatred or
resentment in their hearts as they sail
homeward. To he sure they are going
home. and even to the simple. Ignorant
Spanish sailor home is a precious and
sacred spot.
May good fortune attend them ought
to be the wish of every one, especially
good fortune in the way of being sent
to school and remembering some Of the
object lessons of Yankee land. Many
of them, save in the knowledge that
men could do well without, are more
ignorant than the average OF New
England children. A considerable ele-
ment of them not being sailors had not
even a seafaring knowledge of ports
and coasts. If these unfortunate
Spaniards have gained any impression
of America they may be missionaries
of good to their country. They have at
least learned that Americans treat
prisoners kindly, and this is a good
deal to men who really believed that
we shot captives or allowed them to
starve. Then the Spaniards have been
taught habits of PERSONAL cleanliness
both by preeept and example. They

sailors on the City of Rome were Ad-

American heart which does not go out
to the old admiral on this sad voyage
back across the Atlantic, He has
shown himself brave and chivalrous
gentleman, a type of man far removed
from most of the high Spanish officers,
and he deserves the pity and the kind
ness which have been freely bestowed
upon him by our people, and which he
has so deeply appreciated. He is sail

the shattered wrecks of the proud fleet
which Spain sent out with such high
hopes, leaving behind hundreds of his
men, buried in the waves or in the
prison camp. And to this awful bur-
den of grief is added the realization
that scheming politicians at home may
welcome him with a court martial.
