THE P0PULIsTIc IDEA.

For the first time in the history oi
the universe Populist convention
instead of devotihg itself to oppos-
ing everything and viewing things
with alarm has put in plank OF
approval. That is the Iowa
middle-of-the-ro readers convention.
1t approves the war.
OF course, with that single ex-
ception everything else in the plat
form sounds note OF wall and
warning. For instance, the plat
form is opposed to a standing
army. We surmise that the word
standing" inadvertently slipped
through the hands of the CON-
mittee on platform. The idea of
any army is opposed to the princi-
pies of Populism. The Populists
believe that a country should wage
war without going to the trouble
o. putting an army in the field
and should pay any little expenses
that might be incurred with slips
OF green paper to an indefinite
number, and, of course, the Iowa
Populist convention is opposed 20
bond issues along with standing
armies.
No army, no money-but war is
all we'll enough.
Good for the Iowa Populis,s
They are patriots, even though
they would have the country fight
its battles with guns loaded to the
muzzle with Populist oratory while
the gunners were paid off with bits
of paper bearing Populist stamp
declaring the same to be money.

Woun0cO IN Datstr-
The wounded in a modern land battle
have small chance Of immediate rescue.
1t is not possible TO remove them from
the fighting line during the conflict, be-
cause the hospital bearers attempting
the task would be killed. The best that
can be hoped is to attend TO them with
in the next "a hours. This stern fact
having been realized, instruction has
been given TO every private in the Unit
ed States army in the art of taking care
OF himself in case bo is hurt.
He carries nc his belt what is called n

bandages an nntiseptic compress and
antiseptic gauze, inclosed in n sealed

French Gratitude For Aid Extended In

According to Le Figaro Of Paris,
the French Red Cross society has re-
Gently opened a subscription for the
benefit Of the future wounded Of the
Spanish American war and has headed
it with contribution.of $4,000 francs.
''To speak frankly" says the writer
Of the article, 1--WE owe this action to
foreign nations, for they all showed an
admirable generosity toward our wound
ed during the war Of 1901. The Unit,
ed States sent us at that time 600, 600
francs; Canada, 800, 900; Spain, 20,-
600; Italy, 10000; little Denmark,
160, 600; the Argentine Republic, $780,
900; Chile. 100, 900; Peru, 100000;
Russia, $4,000; in all about 5000. 600
francs Our Red Cross, having spent
more than l2,500, 900 francs for our
wounded during the fatal year, had
still remaining in its treasury more
than 1900, 900 francs. At present the
society has ON hand 5000, 600 francs
1t sent to Spain 80, 900 francs for the
wounded in the Carlist war, 297, 900 in
the Turco- Russian war. 90, 900 for the
wounded in Tunis, $50, 600 for Tonquin,

Larned is New Yorker, but Wrenn,

his family now lives Their records as

Again, according to the CORE
spondents. the government is con-
cerned at the report that the
Cadiz feet OF big ships is destined
| for Manila.
1t may be doubted, however, il
the government is very seriously
concerned on that score. The
Cadiz fleet, according to all ac-
counts, is composed of SPAIN s
most powerful ships. If they are
in the prime condition that charac-
terize a Yankee ship they could
defeat Dewey in the open sea and
give him hard fight to hold Ma
n liza though backed by his fortifi-
cations on shore and picketed by
mines at the harbor entrance. But
that doesn't signify.
After awhile the public will
grow tired of this weekly recurring
bogey of the cruise of the Spanish
fleet to the Philippines. Nothing
is more improbable upon any con-
sideration. 1t is not at all sure
that the fleet would reach Manila,
after a voyage that is within few
thousand miles of the Oregon's $
famous trip, in shape to wrest the
port from Dewey, or that in its best
shape it could hope to succeed
without serious damage to the
ships of which Spain must be even
more precious than we are OF
Simpsons fleet. The Cadiz fleet
is not flying squadron by any
means. Such squadron is Ger
vera's and that is locked up in
Santiago.
In view, moreover, OF the situa-
tion of Cervera's squadron, the
sending of the Cadiz feet to Ma
Mia, would leave Spain's own
coast practically without defense
and it is as reasonable to believe
that our government would leave
Schley to guard, keep shut the
mouth of Santiago and send Samp-
son to the Philippines, or even tc
the Canaries, leaving our own sea
board without fighting ship to
protect it, as to give any ere
dence to the intermittent Ma
Mia scare story. All that j:
necessary for the thinking citizen
to weigh such yarns is to consider
what our;own government would dc
in Spain's position. Certainly, il
would let the Philippines go rather
than leave Our own coast unde'
Tended, even if there were ships
enough to make it certain tha
such large territory could be wor
back. The sending of the Span
ish fleet to Manila would evidently
place all the cards in our hand.
even though our naval resource.
are not sufficient to play them t
their full strength.
1t is wholly reasonable to believe
that Spain is at least quite as much
afraid of us as we may seem to be
of her and that, despite the crazy
cruise of Cervera's little feet,
there is a remnant of sense left
with the military and naval author
tiles who are conducting the war
from Madrid.

SONG Of Rooscvslt,. Rider..

We thud thud, thud down the dusky pike:
We Jingle across the plain;
We cut and thrust. and we lunge and strike;
We throttle the sons Of Spainl
Our chief has never tremor shown.
He's grit cinched mp in a belt.
Oh, they must be for their courage known
Who ride with ROOSEVELT
we gallop along the gloomy vale
We hustle a-down the lane;
We leap the stream and the topping rail;
We burst on the men Of Spaini
It's rattle and clash: the snbers fash:
The Spanish host doth melt;
It's bluff and grit, and it's all things vast
To ride with Roosevelti
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

LILIES OF The VALLEY.

In n shaded nook in garden fair,
Hidden away from the suns bright glare;
In the cool green leaves Of these creamy
blooms
Are found the sweetest Of earth's pertumc-.
Purcst lilies. wond'ious fair,
Mingled with the diamonds glare.
In the green house thou dost dwell
We will not bid thee farewell.
