Here is the way one three-lunged Pop
ulist organ dismisses the troublesome
matter OF one ticket on three platforms:
In our advocacy Of the causes We shall
treat Democrats, Peoples party adherents,
ard Silver Republicans as supporting a
common platform, and advocating a plat
form to common END. We advocate. how
ever, conservative platform touching
those issues which are new and generally
considered radical on reform lines.
They do not support common plat
form. They have heretofore distinctly
refused to unite on one platform. and
they viii DO the same thing this year.
They will, however. seek to continue
the sorry farce of consolidating under
one canvas the most spectacular and
astonishing menagerie of irreconcila-
bic freaks an amazed public was ever
called upon to witness. There will be
no change Of programme this year. and
consequently the box-office receipts will
show a considerable falling of.
But, after all. it must be admitted
that the great SO show was marvel
in its way. 1t was alone worth the
price of admission to see the ancient
Democratic individual liberty donkey
yield meekiy to the equestrian rule of
the socialistic and communistic clown.
Where before was ever seen the Silver
Republican Qmitation) protection ele-
plant calmly browsing on Populist fod-
der at the side of the fierce free
trade tiger? Or the single-tax wolf
and the income-tax anaconda peace
ably regarding the female-suffrage
rabbit? Or the fiat rag baby sub
hitting to the caresses of the
free-silver monkey? Or the representa-
tive-g government acrobat shove his head
down the throat of the initiative and
referendum lion? Nowhere. But it is
different in 1898. The public has found
out that the animals are all stuffed,
and furthermore it has discovered the
string by which they were made 10 per-
form their startling feats.

delighted with the city ard with their re-
ception. Nearly 300 people represented
the country newspapers of a prosperous
state, and their reports on their return
will be of value to Washington. The
editor OF country newspaper in thriv-
ing town of Minnesota-and they are near
ly all thriving piaces-leads a fairly happy
life. Many of them had friends in Seat

To the Editor: / am Britisher, resi-

writing few lines with reference 10 your
article in today's paper, headed, mo For
eign Interference"
Interference in the matter of the dispo-
sition OF the Philippine islands has origin
ated with Germany and now France
seems DESTROYS Of having finger in the
pie" A slice of said pie is not justly due
to either France or Germany. The fate
of the islands rests with the United States,
and no one else. BY what process of rea-
soning does either country presume to in
terfere? 1t is gross impertinence for eth
er to attempt to do SO. Would Germany
have permitted any interference from the
United States after the siege and capture
of Paris, ending the Franco-German. war?
Would she have shared Aisace and Lor-
raine, or any portion of the indemnity she
exacted from France with an outside pow
err? l trow not.
Some one must take possession Of the
dependencies Of Spain who can be relied
upon to govern them Alright and accord
ing 20 modern ideas OF local se!f-govern-
ment. Unfortunately Cuba. the Philip
pines and other possessions Of Spain are
utterly incompetent for self-government
upon Anglo-Saxor principles. AT least for
a time. The United States is bound, In
the name of humanity and as result OF
her actions, TO become the guardian of
these various islands. and not 10 allow
them 10 drift into state of chaos and an
archy, which would be worse even than
Spanish rule, and would certainly result
from being left TO themselves. Britain
does not desire to undertake any portion
Of the duty, having enough on hand al
ready. France and Germany have no
claim TO the position. and the sooner this
is made plain to them the better.

While there is turmoil in political circles
III Tacoma over the division OF official
spells. the people OF Seattle should not fail
10 notice the entire absence OF wire pulling
and wfangllng in the Seattle municipality.
4 few years ago there was constant fear
Of upheaVal. and office seekers goaded
members OF the council into seeking re-
movai OF officers in order to make room
for political workers out of job. Now the
ciy's affairs are conducted upon strictly
business lines. If man is competent ne
Is kept in his office: If he Is not, he has the
alternative Of facing charges or quietly
res!gning. and he usually takes the latter
course. because he Is not molested IL ne
does his duty. The city has been the gamer
by many thousands of dollars by this most
valuable change of policy. The city hall
is not a refuge for men who go into politics
because they are unfit for any position in
civil life, but is an institution In which the
best men are employed to be had for the
comparatively small salary the city pays,
and 1t is only fair 10 say that most OF them
are far superior to the position they hold.

those few words about the new bearings
he speaks for hundreds OF thousands g
people In the United States. When the
majority OF the people leave party ana
go into a new one it Is because they have
greater expectations OF the new than Of
the old: when they are disappointed, they
are quick 20 recover themselves. The
fusion policy has been one OF miserable
failure. while that OF the Republican par
~ has brought prosperity TO every part
OF the country. Names are mere con-
venienees of definition. The majority vote
% this country will go with the Repub-
llcan party not because OF its name. but
because IL typifes progress and prosperity

Populist parties are identified with stag
