TIRED OF FUSION.

In an interview recently, Mortimer @.
Rankin, chairman OF the Populist
national central committee. stated that
in the coming campaign there would be
no fusion with the Democrats. "The
Populists are tired Of FUSION" he said;
"for they have found that whenever they
entered into fusion with the Democrats
the latter party received the benefit,
while the Populists we're there merely to
fill up" Mr.. Rankin stated that the
party was split up on the matter of hold
ing the Philippine islands In his opin'
ion, the object of the government should
be to tear down all the monarchies pos
slble and construct upon the debris the
foundation of republics-the more re-
publics the better. He said if the Dem
ocrats fight the policy of the administra-
ton in holding the Philippines until a
suitable form of government has been
formed, they will find themselves showed
under far worse than they were in
1896.

GROWTH OF TIE WEST.

From every part of the west come Ie-
ports of new strikes in old mines, and
new discoveries in districts hitherto un-
productive, says the Denver Mining
Reporter Improvement s in mining ma

the treatment Of the lower grade ores
La the process world a good deal of
progress bas been made, but the greatest
advance has been made in educating the
public mind to the fact that the secret
process is a dangerous thing to fool
with.
There are few people left-people too
wise to be able to gain any instruction
from the technical mining press-who
continue to be hnmbugged and to hum
bug their friends by putting up costly
plants to operate secret process, usu-
ally designed to extract values from the
pockets of Investors rather than from
ores.
And even this costly experience is
adding to the general progress. The
smelter trouble will soon be thing of
the past. The mineral production of the
Rocky Mountain states will be much
greater this year than ever before. The
development of new mining fields will be

The fallacy of such statement, made
repeatedly by the Democratic press Of
Montana, was apparent on the face OF it.,
and now it's Righteousness is shown up
quite vivldly. Thousands of men have
applied for enlistment already and hun.
dreds are being temporarily turned
away daily from the several recruiting
stations OF the country on account Of the
inability OF the force at hand to make
the examinations rap dly enough. This
shows very plainly that the people are
with the administration in the subjuga-
ton of the islanders. When peace has
been declared and the natives lay down
their arms it can be depended upon that
the United States will treat fairly with
them in regard to forming government
to their own liking and one which will
withstand the ravages OF time and the
assaults OF the old world.

A ST. Lonis professor warts the
United States to call itself "Usona," this
being a senseless combination OF the
longer title, "Unlted States OF North
America" There is no reason why we
should not continue calling ourselves
Americans and our country the United
States. In fact, the word American
means great deal more to the outside
world than formerly. The battle Of Ma
mia, battle Of Santiago, battle Of Ell
Caney, the Philippine campaign and sew
eral other events which have transpired
during the past year or so have left their
impress on the old world, and now they
have a respect for Americans such as
they yer entertained before. Let the
others call themselves what they please;
we are Americans.

The governor is quoted a:
saying:
1t is idle and useless to talk or
work against expansion or the hold

military branch OF the United States

of the Iowa at Tacoma, it is prepos-
ferrous to talk against expansion.

The round robin has been building
its nest so frequently of late that most
of us are glad to learn something Of
the birds past history. The Boston
Transcript explains that the word
means not simply written memorial
or protest the signing Of which may be
attended with danger or trouble to the
signers. 1t is properly applicable only
to paper on which the signatures are
arranged in circular or concentric
form" The suggestion that the word
had its origin in the resemblance sig
natures so arranged present to the
starched ruff called a round robin"
worn in Queen Elizabeth's day. is GER
tainly plausible. The round robin had
its origin with sailors who, when they
entered into written agreement sign
ed the paper in such way to prevent
detection of the ringleaders or first
son, mentions a round robin signed By
certain acquaintance who. demurring
to the laundering critics judgment,
were determined that his lightning
should scatter" Round robin has
been applied to the remonstrance sign
ed by General Skaters subordinates
against further retention of the army
in Cuba That document was not,
however, SO romantic in method. for
We believe that the official account
shows that il was but syllabus of
opinion which General Shafter had
sought, but which he did not intend to
make public until he had returned TO

The commercial. as well as the po-
!itical. future of cuba and Porto Rico
is assured. but for the others there is 4
struggle ahead. Perhaps sometime. in
the indefinite future, the American flag
will wave over all the West Indies.
When that time comes it will also be
waving over Canada. Mexico and the
rest of the continent. But at present
more new possessions, insular or con-
tinental. What new possessions it has
acquired it will keep, and gladly keep.
both to its own advantage and theirs,
but it will wait while before it holds
out its apron for any more ripe
peaches.
AS far as English possessions in
America are concerned, the United
States is more solicitous about Cana
da's behavior as a ncighbor than her
annexation, and it certainly is not
yearnng to relieve England OF any
bankrupt islands in the West Indies.
Cuba and Porto Rico are the jewels Of
the Gulf of Mexico, commercially.
strategically. and in all other respects.
and in comparison with them the
other islands are of little value to this
country and Of even less value TO the
countries owning them. The islands
of Cuba and Porto Rico give control
Of the Gulf and the Caribbean sea and
all the countries which line these
waters. The United States is not cast
ing hungry glances toward the other
