THE PEOPLES party will not

THE Peoples party will not
disband. It will become a
more formidable factor in the
affairs of 1900 than it was in
1896. Tully Scott democrat
Of Oberlin spoke the truth
when he said there was a 'Sin-
cere doubt in the mind of the
average Populist as to wheth-
er the democratic party would
be able to maintain in 1900
the stand it took in 1895, and
until that was fully determin-
ed he would be 10th to let go
his hold on the Populist or
ganization." This is true,
and it furnishes the reason
why Populists should be more
cohesive now than ever be,
fore. By maintaining it's
strong individuality the Pop
ulist party will serve as a bal
ance wheel in holding the
democratic party to the high
standard which it assumed in
it's last national convention
Take away this balance wheel
and the temptation to com.
promise 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 down on the coat
tail of our cousins, the demo
Gratis, and hold them steady
to the work. Should compro
mise in any form come, then
the Popullst party will grow
more rapidly than ever before
and the democratic party in
the west will disintegrate.-

THEY VOTED FOR 1T.

The strange thing about it is that the
poor, credulous people, hearing Rookie
Teller, Carnegie, Porter, Depew and
others of that class, talking of coming
prosperity, vainly imagined that they
were to be included IN it.-were to have
a share of it. AS if there
could be prosperity for wolves
and lambs, hawks and doves,
pirates and merchantmen, wealth tax :
ers and wealth makers at the same
time. The thought is preposterous.
But the prosperity which was to result
from the maintenance "of the present
gold standard" is here, and will remain
with US IN all its fullness and glory as
long as the people haye anything left
that can be apppropriated.-Ro

DURING six years, begin

ing June 30, 1897, the United
States paid $36,O41,134 in

money went to the monopo-

A SYSTEM of taxation that
levys a tax according to the
ability of the individual to

For this reason an income tax
is right and the supreme court
that denied the people of it's
benefits acted from question
able motives.

OUTLOOK IN SACHrSETTS.
Possibility Of Democrats Obtaining
Three Seats Indicated.

Reports from Massachusetts received n
Washington Indicate the possibility OF the
democrats securing three seats In the next
House of Representatives. The campaign
in Massachusetts is beginning to take such
shape as 10 permit estimate of the pos
sible trend of public feeling. With the re-
nomination yesterday of Representative
Barrows all the republican candidates for
Congress are now in the field.
Mr.. Barrows had a hard fight for re-
nomination, and the party contest has not
added to the safety of the district. which
is normally democratic il is claimed that
there is great deal OF dissatisfaction
among the working classes In that part OF
the state. and that the times are not as
good as in some other sections of the coun-
try. The republicans fear that this dis
satisfaction will be vented upon the repub-
lican candidates.
The fifth district, represented by Mr.
Knox, republican, is said to be shaky.
There are many woolen mills in this dis
trict, and the operatives have not, IT is
claimed, experienced proportionate share
of the prosperity which has blessed the
west and the south. They blame the tarff
bill, which placed a tax upon wool the
raw material in which the mills work, and
the claim is urged that the correspondiug
protective duties on the finished products
do not counterbalance the tariff ON the raw
material.
This district however. is naturally demo-
cratic. IL was represented many years by
Mr.. Stevens. who was a member of the
ways and means committee which framed
the Wilson tariff act.
The ninth district, now represented by
Mr.. Fitzgerald, is thought to he safely
democratic, Mr.. Fitzgeralds majority IN
the last election being over 6.ono. The dis
trict was gerrymandered for the demo-
Gratis, and the republicans have no hope of
carrying IL.
Is arousing the voters of the executive de-
partments. and will let spirit of apathy
prevail among them. The applications for
reduced-rate tickets, to enable them to go
home to register and vote, are coming in
steadily. and there is prospect that there
will be a general exodus of voters. In
diana and Illinois are being especially
watched in this respect. The republicans
want every voter to go home. for those
two states. II is said may change the COM
plexion of the next House.

NALLE REPLIES TO GRAHAM.
colonel OF :sd Virginia Says His Men
Did Not Complain.


RICHMOND, Va, October 13-CoI Will
liam Nalle commander of the Sd Virginia
Regiment, was shown the article published
in Yesterdays Star. in which General Cira-
nam gave his testimony before the war in
vestlgating commission relative to the al
legged neglect on the part of the Sd Regi-
ment officers in obtaining no fresh meat for
the men, and stating that the officers did
not know how to make out ration return.
Colonel Nalle had nothing harsh to say
about General Graham.
H said: Il think his memory is, perhaps
a little at fault. When we got to Camp
Alser, June >, l promptly reported to the
corps commander. We carried with us ten
after We arrived General Graham visited
me to inquire about my command. he is
perhaps, mistaken in saying told him tie
men preferred salt meat. l cannot rcmem-
Der having said that. Something was said
about ordering fresh beef, and think the
general sat down in my tent and wrote me
an order on Captain Little, the depot COM
mlssary, for a supply for my regiment
That meat. If l am not very much mis-
taken, was sent up by Captain Little that
evening. No complaint having teen ma de
to me by any of the men, the incident ma de
but little impression my mind n: the
time, but think have recalled Just what
happened. There was never any trouble
about making out the ration returns 1t
was quite simple thing.
Captains Faulkner. Hutchings and Ma
surfer, who We're present, all corroborat t Ell
Colonel Nalle. They said the men never
complained because they did not have fresh
beef. The only complaints that amounted
to anything were those that followed the
occasional delays in the arrival of trains
that brought fresh meat which, in some
cases, was unsound when it was received.
The regiment was certainly one Of the
heaithiest in the army and the men did but
little complaining.
The telegram General Graham refers to
as having received from the War Depart
ment was probably sent by a congressman
after mis- visit to the camp. He went ,here
soon after the men arrived and took dinner
with one of the companies. Fried bacon
was served. and the congressman COM
mented upon the absence of fresh msat He
said he was going at once to the War De-
partment and see to it that the soldiers
got beef. Colonel Nalle did not know this
until last night.

GEN ERAL MARKET REPORT
Special Disprtch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK October 13.-An advance in
the Bank of England's minimum rate OF
discount to per cent was passed over as
a matter of small moment to local finan-
cial interests. Consols declined in their
home market, but the American depart
ment remained firm under a conservative
demand.
The rally which was IN progress in yes
terday's market was continued today UNI
der the influence of buying for both ac-
counts. In Northern Pacific common the
buying was extremely good, round amounts
OF the stock being taken on an advance ex-
tending to nearly per cent from the open
ing level.
The trouble said to have arisen between
two of the principal stock interests relative
to dividend on the common stock is said
to have been adjusted along the original
lines. The subject is 10 be taken up next
month, and with every prospect of small
disbursement being sanctioned early in the
winter. Under the influence of this action
the larger holders expect to accomplish an
important upward movement in the price of
the stock
Union Pacific issues are showing mora
signs of increasing interest. and are ex-
pected to duplicate in some mea sure the
legislation of the former property. The
puSlnt5 OF the granger issues of the higher
priced class was also good, both as to vol
ume and the general character of the de-
mand. Earnings are behind this move
nent, and once the apathy of the public is
overcome present prices may easily he I'M
proved.
1t is quite likely that the present rally
Will inspire some realizing sales at the end
OF the week, but the declines, in view of
the changed sentiment, should only stmu-
late purchases.
The engagement of gold in London for
export to this side and the activity Of
bankers to make the Paris discount rate
attract the demand to that cAnter would
clearly indicate a further consid rable in
how of specie The money market is not
likely to dwarf any speculative enterprise
TOR considerable period.
The industrials were irregular. but less
Potent in influence than previous days
or the week. Tobacco was strong and weak
by turns, but Sugar seemed to have steadied
slightly around 11O. The demand for the
latter is not thought 20 come from sources
desiring to own the stock, except to the
transitory extent made necessary to COM
plete deliveries.
The trade war is only we'll under way,
and rallies are taken to indicate merely one
stage of a somewhat lengthy campaign.
The rumors of an increase in the capital
stock of the American Tobacco Company
We're denied in sources usually accurate on
matters of this character.
