The campaign is over and we take
it that no bad blood exists in either
the defeated or the successful candi-
dates. but we can not refrain from re-.
mlnding our republican friends of
what We said previous to the election
with reference to the Office of county
attorney. We stated that Mr.. Griffin
could not conduct prosecutions and
that the county would be compelled to
employ special counsel for that pur-
pose. That our prediction has been full.
filled can be seen by an inspection of the
commissioners work last week. One
hundred dollars have already been ex-
pended, or contracted, for that purpose.
We do not mention this fact because of
any i'll will or unkindly feelings toward
County Attorney Griffin. We wish him
the greatest success and would not Law
a single pebble in his official pathway
If we had the power, but republican
partisans, some of them at least, de-
nounced the INDEX in unmeasured
words for saying that Mr.. Griffin is not
competent to discharge the duties of the
Office, and it affords us no little salts

SENATOR TITUS has the distinction
OF having introduced the most impor.
tant bills that originated in the senate
during the special session of the legis-
lature and so far during the regular
session. All of his bills did not pass
the special session and it would not
surprise us if none would pass the reg.
ular session because the house is repub-
lcan, but he has earned the confidence
and respect Of his constituents for his
fidelity and unceasing labors. The tel
graph bill, the express bill, the corpora
ton bill and the school insurance bill
were all introduced by Senator Titus.
The express and telegraph bills pre-
vailed but the others were defeated
partly because of republican opposition
aided by few recalcitrant Popullsts
and partly on account of lack of time.
Senator Titus is still at it but the re-
publicans, most of them, are opp 3sina
his measures. II they continue this
mode of warfare the Popullsts. viii
probably get together and knock out
some of the republican pet approprial
tons. They can do 1t because they
have the senate, and we hope they will
All honor to Senator Titus for. his ag
gressive, faithful work.

one respect our fellows do not start out

THE FUTURE OF POPULIsM

If there is any good reason why the
Peoples party should disband at this
time no one has ventured to advance
it. During the two years just closed
the people went on a political spree
and, for a time, it looked exceedingly
dark on the horizon for everybody bat
republicans, but the tide has already
changed. The voters have sobered up
and the star Of Populism is already in
the ascendancy. Many believed that
the return of the republican party to
power would bring lasting prosperity
and happiness to mankind. They
tried it, and they are now frank to ad-
NIT that they are drinking from the
bitter cup of their own folly. They
are studying political problems more
earnestly than they have ever studied
them before. They will not tie 80
much to men as they will to principles
of government, and the mistakes of
the past will the better enable them to
act in the future. The disastrous fail.
ures which are daily occurrences will
afford them much fruit and they will
profit by 1T.
There is another circumstance which
will materially aid the Populst cause.
Every indication points toward demo
cratic abandonment of bimetallism
and Its champoining Imperialism. The
eastern wing of the democratic party
is aggressive while the western and
southern elements are already making
overtures with view to compromis-
ing; so that it is not improbable that
the next democratic platform will fail
TO incorporate single Populist meas
ure. This will unquestiOnably add re-
cruits tc the Peoples party, and, with
sound reform principles and honest
and sincere standard bearers to pro-
claim the gospel, victory will again
crown our efforts. Defeat has made
the party leaders wiser and it has also
taught the rank and file to be more
careful in choosing candidates.
Let us not despair; the future of
POpulism is bright. =.

WHEN the Populists proposed that
the government loan money to the PEG.
pie at two per cent they were hooted at
and condemned as lunatics, but when
the republicans propose that the gov
eminent loan money to the banks at
one-fourth Of one per cent 1t is just the
thing according to the public sentiment
molders. Interest is wrong in princi-
pie on any basis. but while the system
is with US the people ought to have al
least an even chance with the banks.
