LONG WAR PREDICTED.
Foreigners at Washington Regard situation
As Serious

Washington, April Among the
foreign attaches stationed at Washing
ton the fighting about Manila is being
followed with critical interest. They
speak of it in rather serious terms, the
prevailing view being that the insur-
gents can keep up long and harras-
ing running fight. One of the foreign
representatives, who has seen long
service in the far east, said that
"causualties of twenty-one day may
seem small, but when long continued,
reach discouragiug proportions.
Since the fighting with the insur-
gents began, some of the foreign gov
ernments have arranged to send their
military attaches to Manila to observe
the developments. The Italian mill
tary expert has already left on that

STAND BY THE II. r.

That very sensible gentleman, Paul
J. Dixon, of the Missouri World, one of
the truest Populists in the United
States, has this to say:
In '95 and in the early spring of 96 the
Populsts were advancing with mighty
strides. The conditions as favorable
hundreds of thousands, perhaps Millions
who are ready to join us are in doubt as
to whether the Populists themselves will
stand true to their colors. If every POpu
list will proclaim his fealty to the Peoples
party, and prove it when he has chance to
vote, SO that the fact will be published all
over the land, the rush to the Populist
standard will begin. If the Popuists of the
Eighth district of this state at the coming
special election will go to the polls and
vote for Buck Hale, the Populist nominee,
they will give encouragement to Populists
in every state. If they get drawn into the
old party fight, and it is nothing but a
fight for the spoils of office, as there is
no real difference between the two old
parties-Populists, il you do this take sides
between the old parties, you will discourage
reformers. in fact you will deal death
blow to.the grand reform cause, and at the
same time give new life and strength to the
enemy Look what great damage has been
done to the Peoples party by Populists
taking sides with the old parties. Didn't
the Republicans demOnetiZe silver in 1873?
Didn't the Democrats do the same thing in
1893? Didn't the Democracy go into power
in March, '93, under promise to coin silver
without charge for mintage, and didn't they
violate that promise and re-enact John
Shermans crime of '73? Reformers cannot
be united under the Democratic banner; it
is not a reform banner. The way to win is
for the reformers in and out of the old
parties to meet in the Peoples party. This
they were doing up to 1896. This they will
again begin to do just soon as they learn
that the Populist banner stands for the
Peoples party and not for the Democratic
party.

A STRONG ARTICLE.

Adam Bede is no fool. He is a strong
nificant utterance of his, which will bear
careful study:
We shall enter into no analysis of the
states to show probable gains and losses,
as 1t is yet too early for that but merely
suggest general tendencies. The party in
power will be charged up with all the trust
combinations, and whether it can prevent
them or not it will be expected to do so,
while the party out of power needs only to
resolve and promise and whoop 'er up. 1t
will be charged that the higher prices are
chiefly on manufactured products, which
ought to be cheapened with improved ma
chinery for their production, rather than
on agricultural products, which are deemed
the real and final basis of all true pros
perity. The average voter does not con-
slider all the conditions that affect prices.
II laths which were $1.vv a thousand when
there was no market and the burdened
lumberman was anxious to realize some
thing on his stock, are now $3.50 when
there is a rush of building, the small pur-
chaser sees only the higher price and
the trust So when the struggling settler
in the newer parts of the West buys an
AK saw, a hammer, a key of nails, a
spool of barbed wire, a stove, or anything
in the hardware line, he finds he is pay
ing two prices, and if the price of his pro-
ducts mas not cOrreSpOnd1ngly risen or II
he has little to sell, we can only guess
what effect higher prices will have upon
him.
The sudden rise of prices on manufac-
tured products in the fall of 1890 wiped the
Republican majority out of congress and
placed the Democrats in power. Then the
rise was laid to new tariff and the fight
was the tariff. Now the rise is laid
to the trust, and the fight is on the trust.
1t matters very little whether it is the
trust or the old principle Of supply and
demand that has raised prices long as the
masses of the people believe the trust is
doing the business. Nor is this antitrust
feeling prevalent among the farmers only,
but many manufacturers, finding their ma
terials greatly increased in price. which
they believe to be through artificial con-
ditions, are demanding relief; and feel
ing that the cross of gold and crown Of
thorns campaign is a thing of the past.
they are looking out upon the political
horizon to see what Of the morrow.
We prophesy that Adam Bede will yet
be leading light among the Populists
of Minnesota. The money-lenders will
drive him out of the Republican party
They don't like men that think" They
want men that will ''obey,' and help

FRANCE AND DREYFUs.

An Impending Revolution-The Fight
the jew II Regarded as It's Repre-
sentative.
The outlook in France is terribly
stormy. Whichever way the Dreyfus
trial ends it is likely to beget civil
war. France is the weather-breeder Of
the world; and the fire she kindles is
likely to spread over the planet.
We quote some extracts from a recent
article in the Chicago Times Herald.
They will give our readers vivid view
of what is going on:
France is frenzied Her people seem to
have gone MAD. l had been in Paris but a
short time before I concluded that a revo-

Dreyfus case results cannot see any peace
ahead for France There will be blood

. HAIR OR HATS, which,
sYOu Pays Your Money and You Takes
Your Choice"


s'You Pays Your Money and You Takes
Your Choice"
Many reports have of late been coming
from the various summer resorts to the
effect that the hat is rapidly becoming OBJ
old and young, go about all day with no
covering whatever, save their own hair
upon their heads, and there is understood
to be CONSERVATION among the makers
of nostrums that are supposed to cure
and prevent badness 1t is generally ad
mitted that the wearing of hats is largely
responsible for the shining pates that are
so common in civilized communities W here
people cling to savage or primitive Gus
toms, going about with bare heads, bald
their hair; neither do the Indians nor other
people whose scalps are exposed to the
sun and the rain. 1t must therefore, be
the hat that causes mans hair to drop
out
For years the oarsmen and the football
players have been going without hats; now
many of the people who are devoted to
yachtiro canoeing and cycling 60 about
with bare heads, and, as has been said
the hat has almost disappeared from the
summer resorts where fashion is not sup
posed to count for anything. We are told
by the New York Times, which has made
q study of this subject, that the hat tends
to produce badness because the band or
lining by pressing against the surface veins
on the head prevents free circulation. Also
1t is held that sun, rain and snow make
hair grow where chemical preparations fail.
Whether this be true OF not, it is notice.
able that men who engage in baseball
tennis golf and other outdoor sports, which
make short or rolled up sleeves agreeable
soon find their arms covered with thick
growths of hair. 1t is reasonable, there
FORE to suppose that exposure of the scalp
to the weather would have tendency to
keep it covered in the natural way.
Whether the desire for hair will be
strong enough to bring about hatless age
remains to be seen. 1t certainly cannot
be expected to do so long as the Prince
Albert coat remains in vogue. No man
could be expected to look dignfied as he
strobe down the avenue with a Prince Al

DREYFUs.

The reconviction of Dreyfus was a
shameful and shocking thing. There
was not particle of evidence to sus-
tain it. The court of cessation 1.-THE SUI
preme court of France), decided that
EsterhaZy wrote the "bordereau," and
gave Dreyfus new trial; Esterhazy
fled to England, and there confessed to
half dozen. parties that he was the
guilty one; and nevertheless the vii
famous courtmartial decided that Drey-
fus wrote the 'bordereau." and that
Esterhazy lied when he admitted he was
guilty!
