Populists in 1900.

The meeting of the Populist
National Committee ut OmaAm
Tuesday and Friday resul ID
the triumph of the re- hars,
headed by Senator BuNr, Of
North Carolina. and in the prac-
teal bolting of what is known IS
the middle ,>tAe road. The
national %mittts ,of the latter
has ca1111 national 4 Invention for
>bN, for the purp pose Of reor-
ganizing the pa$ty, which in plain
English means sSting up 4 new
party. That they will follow this
with convention in 1900 for the
nomination of presidential can
didates is not likeIl; they will no
doubt make their Nominations in
September and begin 4 canvass
extending twenty-six months
which is the worst thing they
could possibly do, if they are IN
tent on votes.
The regulars will hold their
nominating convention in 1900 at
an ear Y date not yet liked, but
previous to the holding of the
other party conventions. They
also will put out Il presidential
ticket, and it is distinctly agreed
among them that they will not
look for any fusion. 1t is under
stood that the party in any State
will act for itself, and the
national committee must keep
hands off.
This outlook for the Populist
tickets in 1900 and no fusion re-
lleves the Democracy of many
unwelcome and intractible ele-
ments of their Populist alliance.
1t will not drive off those con-
servative Populists who support
ed Bryan on principal in 1896
and will support him again in
1900. These constitute the ma
jority of the party, The furious
dust which is being kicked up two
years in advance by the leaders
concerns nobody but themselves
no great number of their party
will take their dust. The reaf-
irmation Of the Chicago plat
form and denomination of Bryan
will catch all the votes of the
Populists except the men who
are more dangerous to their al
lies than to their opponents.
The September convention Is to
be held in Cincinnati, and to be
composed Of two delegates at
large for each State and one del
egate for every 20O0 Populist
votes cast at any election since
1890. It is announced that
| Wharton Barker, of Philadelphia
will probably be nominated fol

4 great deal has been said
about the Cuban insurgents tight
ing half-naked, but we must not
Nget that the climate Of Cuba
is decidedly hot, and it is much
more comfortable to fight half
naked than full clad, On the
forced march from Baquiri to
reinforce the Rough Riders and
regular cavalry who fought the
first pitched battle, the Ameri-
can troops found the sun so
fercely warm that they discarded
blanets, coats, shirts and other
wearing apparel, and when they
came up to the position held by
the advanced guard they were not
much better off in the way of

| Southern blood has reflected !,
great deal Of credit on the United

rare heroism. At Cienfugos Lieut.

himself by a desperate attempt to
save the life of Lieut.. Merritt and

At Cardenas the executive Off
Ger of the torpedo boat Winslow,
Ensign Worth Bagley Of North
Carolina, was killed while running
his boat into the harbor for the
purpose of drawing the fire of the
shore batteries and locating them.

dangerous one, but the gallant
fellow never finched, and when

murderous fire from the machine

The greatest act Of heroism in
the present war, however, and
one that has been applauded by
the civilized world was that Of
Lieutenant Hobson in the harbor
of Santiago. The wonderful cour-
age of the gallant Alabamian and
his seven sailors commanded the
admiration of the Spanish admi-
raj to whom they surrendered and
won for them kindly treatment as
prisoners of war. According to
the statement of Admiral Cerve-
ra's flag officer, who bore the flag
of truce to Admiral Sampson, the
Merrimac was riddled with shot
and she'll before she got to the
point in the channel where she
was torpedoed, and the Spanish
admiral, after expressing aston.
ishment that every man on the
ship was not killed. declared the
act of Hobson and his crew to be
one of the bravest in the histor,
of naval warfare.

line of their duty whenever al

A member of Gen. E. E. Lee $
staff, who was present when the
terms of surrender were agreed
upon between between Gems. Lee
and Grant in 1865, is out in a
public letter in which he says that
the story put out that Gen. Grant
declined to accept Gen. Lees
sword is all a myth. He says
that Gen. Lee never did tender
his sword to Gen. Grant and that
Grant had, therefore, no oppor-
tunity to decline it's acceptance.
