COUNTRY AHEAD OF PARTY.

1t has been noted that many of the
Populist conventions in Kansas have
remained silent on the expansion
large element of the party is chatting
under the demand made by the lead
ers that the rank and file shall en-
dorse the fiag-lowering policy of the
Democrats. OF this we are reminded
by the singing editorial in the Pleas
anton Herald, the leading Populist
paper in Linn county, from which we
extract few paragraphs as follows;
''That President Mckinley and his
official family have made mistakes
there is no question. Had our presi-
dent forseen the outcome of Dewey's
visit to Manila, May 1, 1898, it is
quite likely the move would never
have been made; but be that as it
may, our war with Spain and the
work of our popular admiral at that
time has made US heir to large por-
tion of the East India islands, 9,OO0,-
900 semi-civiliZed natives and several
thousand traitors. At the present
time there are in rebellion, upon
United States territory-the Philip
pines, which belongs to us as much as
any state or territory in the Union
Aguinaldo and his band of cut
Threats and thieves.
''Those In rebellion in our new pos
sessions did not give the president an
opportunity nor time to make salts
factory arrangements with the peo-
pie of the islands, but commenced to
shoot and harrass our soldiers before
the peace treaty with Spain was raJi-
fed. What would the nations of the
world and our own people have said
if the government at Washington
had permitted our troops to be mas
sacred by the savages of these islands?
The fingers of scOrn would have been
focused upon the United States from
all parts of the globe and our people
would have been in rebellion and de-
nounced it cowardly conduct.
1--WE are one of those old-fashioned
Populists who believe in country first,
party second; and while we may differ
with the powers that be- as to its
policy are not one of those to stand in
the rear and revile it. We believe
that every citizen of this grand and
glorious Union should stand pat
with the administration, regardless
of political affiliation, until this un-
fortunate war is at an end; that the
rebels should be conquered, after
which that they be permitted to form
republic OF their own; they, OF
| t. oil
this is consummated we say 'on with
the war; Let them dance to ou1
music.
''If the Torch, Standard, Search
light and few individuals in Linn
county who believe such rot as Scott
township voters dished up, continue
such foolish clatter, the Peoples par
ty will soon be so dead that there will
be no resurrection day. In proper
ton to the number of voters we be-
lieve there are more patriots in the
Peoples party than in any other in
existence; and if the fusion gang at
the county seat and its followers con-
tinue to insult the flag by preaching
copperheadism, in order that they
may stand in with less than IOC
Democrats, the patriotic PopuIists
will find new home, even il they
have to build t."-Gaylord Herald.
About one month ago my child
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting / gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for q
physician and it was under his care
| for week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten DAYS and
was having about twenty-five opera
tions of the bowels every twelve
hours, and we were convinced that
unless it soon obtained relief it would
not live. Chamberlain's Collie, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy was rec
commended, and decided to try it. ]
soon noticed a change for the better
by its continued use a complete cure
was brought about and it is now per
fectly healthy.-C. L. BoGGs. Stump
