Quite a number .of populists have
asked me what all this late connection
in the peoples party Of the state means
and what is up. So. I beg leave. for
space to briefly explain. >..$:.: i: ,.. 4
The peoples party; as we know it
from 1894, was supposed by many, my
self included. to be dead and buried
never to rise again. But not so, how
ever: the loyal populists are still. on
deck and more of them than ever. be-
fore. And now there is a rallying Of
the old line Of populists all over the:
state that bids fair to swell into
a regular old fashioned populist cam
paign. Against my wishes I have
been selected to preside over the re-
surrection committee. But having as
sumed the duties incident to that po-
sition,I. shall try to discharge it to the
best my ability, come what may.
The facts are these: There are
somewhere from fifty to seventy thou
sand .loya conscientious populists il

fusion il any form. The are men who.

become populists, not for the sake of
getting Office, but because they be-
lieVed il the principles Of the party
Now these men are up ID arms every:
whore. They assert ia no uncertain
way that if the present peoples party
organization goes into fusion again
then these loyal populists will re-or
5ganizesan 60 on the ballot BY petit
ton, and re-establish the peoples
party ii any event.

His Reason.

Senator Sorghum had been doing his
best t carry on a conversation with
the extremely sentimental girl, and
was becoming discouraged. She was
gazing through the window and *
claimed:
..See those distant stars! Did you
ever pause to think that they may be
worlds?'
"Yes-I believe 1 have"
"And that they may be peopled with
beings that hope and struggle as we
do? Oh, did you ever think of those
people|
NO" no answered. ~ never thought
of Them"
Turning abruptly so as to face him,
she exclaimed:
"Why not?"
Then Senator thought for a moment
and then answered, coldly:

they don't vote in my district."-Wash,

Hard to Please.

As a rule the free-trade newspapers
are disposed to sheer at the reciprocity
agreement just perfected between the
United States and France. They don't
like agreements of this kind. The fact
that the reciprocity clause of the tariff
of 1897 Is made effective in the secur-
Ing of diminished duties upon products
Of the United States that are sult to
foreign countries would seem Il, dcm-
onstrate the practical wisdom .f the
trainers of that measure.
But 1t fails to strike the Cobdenites
this way. In their way Of thinking the
proper prelude to the negotiation of a
commercial treaty is to strip yourself
of any possible advantage that a pro-
tecttve tariff secures. In that way you
have nothing to offer in return for con.

1t does not matter in the least that in

When Stnndish reached the hotel, he
found Egerton impatiently awaiting him.
He was walking up and down the room,
where luncheon was laid, and on the table
stood a carafe of brandy, more than half
empty. The sight of it reminded Standish
that he thought Egerton had drank an
unusual amount Of wine the night before.
"Wc shall scarcely catch tie train.''
said Egcrton. as they sat down to IL hasty
meal. of which he hardly ate anything.
He Was very silent during the hour
which enslied. and scarcely seemed to
hear the comments Standish made on Rit-
sons story. his assertion that there was
but IL man about the premises. He
only remarked abruptly: mo, l never

Thu first part of the return journey was
passed in nearly complete silence. Then
Egerton. who had been looking ut 4, con-

%"Standish, l will so to Spain and hunt

Indeed! What has,"

"That is quite right, Mr.. Standish. I'll

when he wcls turned half towards ne that
there was something reddish under his

Egerton compressed his lips and made
a slight movement, as if going to step
towards the speaker, hut checked himself
and continued profoundly still.
'IIa!" cried Briggs, II remember those
vagabonds generally wore red bands or
s%aslies under their jackets. 1 think this
thickens the case against the Spaniard."
Yes, it looks like it," suid Standish,
thoughtfully. "All l hope and trust is
that the poor girl never caught n glimpse
of her murdcrer-that she never woke.
1t is too terrible to think Of" he added,
with sudden deep emotion.
Egerton grasped the back Of n huge
hish-backed chair near him, saying, in Il
low, fierce tone: .'4And he still lives!" He
drew out his purse and put some money
