Pcrulists Against Fusion.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 1.-THE
Populists State executive committee at
a meeting here today determined to OPP
pose both Senator Morgan and Cover
nor Johnston, Democrats, for United
States Senator. and to put a full-hedg-
ed Populist candidate in the field. A
resolution was adopted calling upon
NJ. W. Howard, former Congressman
from the Seventh district, to make the
race and to canvass the State.
Howard is the only Populist ever sent
to Congress from Alabama. He served
two terms and achieved some notoriety
while there by writing a book entitled
IF Christ Game TO Congress. The
production purported to depict Con-
gressional life.
The Populist committee also called a
State convention for the second Thurs
day In May next to launch a complete
State ticket. All suggestions Of fusion
with the Democrats were hooted down.
It is thought Howard will make the
race for Senator.

What SihleY Says.

Hon. Joseph @. Sibley wss one OF the
strongest of the free silver advocates in
the East during the campaign OF 1896,
and could have had second place on the
Democratic ticket had he 80 desired.
But Mr.. Sibley's views. 1t seems. have
undergone a radical change. In the
Washington Post Of Tuesday last he
says;
Il will start out, says he. by Say
that l am and have been a pronounced
believer in the principles of bimetal-
lism. don't care whether 1t be ma
tional or intern ational bimetallism
nor am welded to any ratio. But
Aristotle Adam Smith. John Locke =.
John Stuart Mill, Francis Wayland and ,
in fact, every great writer on political
economy, has laid down the proposition
that the volume Of money in any conn
try determined the prices Of its pro-
duots.
"Bimetallism was a living Issue in
1896. but the conditions have changed.
In that year publicly predicted that
il Mckinley and the gold standard
were successful prices would fall with
q corresponding increase in the pur-
chasing power Of the gold dollar, and
we would have an era Of hard times
and commercial depression such as this
country has seldom witnessed. Now l
look around me and l see the FORCES
blazing. the fires lighted in all the fur
naces, the shuttles weaving and the
looms spinning; every man who has a
days labor to sell finding ready mar
ket for is; our ships loaded to the
Plimsoll line with exports bound for
all parts Of the world, and everywhere
plenty and prosperity. And so 1t &C.
ours to me that some body must have
been mistaken. and perhaps that fellow
was me.
Il have been q pessimist for a long
time, but am now an an optimist be-
lieve that we have a better Congress
now than ever before-that we have q
better President, and that the next
President, whether ii be Mckinley or
Bryan, will be better still The world
is moving forward"

How Allen appointment Was Received.

How Allen Appointment Was Received.
Omaha, Neb., Dec 4-The appoint.
ment by Gov. Poynter Of Senator Will
liam Vincent Allen as U. S. Senator to
succeed Hayward is received with great
rejoicing by the Populists, but many
Democrats are not pleased with it,
The only serious opposition to Allen
was that made by the friends of G. M
Hitchcock, editor eff the World Herald,
a newspaper which more than any other
one agency helped to build up the po-
litical fortunes of Mr. Bryan particu.
larly prior to his nomination in 1896.
Mr.. Hitchcock resents the action and
publishes q card thanking his friends,
stating his deep disappointment, and
says he feels most keenly the sting Of
ingratitude, an expression which, caD-
not refer to any Nebraska politician
other than Bryan, because Poynter is
under no personal obligation to Hitch
cock.
The Democrats in Douglas county and
iu other cities are expressing sympathy
with Mr.. Hitchcock, and in the first
mements of resentment are free to ex'
press the prediction that the turning
down Of Mr.. Hitchcock will widen the
breach between the Populist and Dem
ocratic leaders in counties throughout
the State When Mr.. Bryan returns
home he will fnd it very difficult to
patch matters up.
In announcing the appointment OF
Allen. the World-Herald publishes the
following card from its proprietor
To the many earnest friends who 30
generously and enthusiastically sup
ported me In my recent candidacy for
the Senatorial appointment at the
hands Of the Governor, 1 herewith ten
der my thanks.

nous support Of the preople OF Douglas

For the Tea Table

Now that afternoon tea is one of the
functions of social life every woman is
trying to Guido every other woman in the
way she arranges her tea table. The china
and silver are, of course, more or less
alike but there can be many an individual
and distinctive touch given by the placing
of the cups on the tray and above all by
the lighting of the table. Electricity and
gas are not to be thought Of but there is
an infinite variety of the daintiest little
lamps and shades to choose from. China,
glass and silver lamps are all fashionable,
and the little empire shades are singularly
pretty. There are all of the one shape, of
course, but are of different material, the
parchment hand-painted being the smart
est. Some are embroidered with opalescent
spangles on silk, and these are very snowy.
Pink is the favorite color, for it casts the
most becoming light.
