 Southern democrats are rapidly cut
 ting loose from pOpulism, and as far as
 sentiment has Eeen expressed it is
 uniformly in favor of compelling the
 D pulists of 1896 to come into the democratic camp or S0 into an organi-
 zation by themselves. Only short
 time ago former Governor Stone of l GecrSia, in all interview asserted tha5 the q demccratic party in the south must abandon it's alliance with popu-
 lism and maintain an organization Of i it's own He said there was now no i pCpulist party in the south, so fa~ as i tangible facts were concerned, and l that the democrats were c0urtinS de

 Of wklt was once 9 formidable host. 1 These sentiments have been app.luded to the echo by leading democrats of Georgia. Gov Candier, Clark Howell, national committeeman for Georgia, Col W A. Hemphill, Dr. Henry L. Wilson, and others of the party lead CTS say that MT. Stone is right. The D0puIist party in the south has disin- tegrated. and hencefOrth there will be nothing but the democracy in that section. Tom Watson vii, be lost sight of unless he announces himself a democrat. If Ignatius Donnelly and WhaTtcn Barker are depending upon the south for comfort next year they are leaning on a broken reed What is true of Georgia is said to be true also of Texas, that other southern state in W1ich pcpulism made such headway. If Cyclone Davis and his followers care to keep their heads above water they will come out as democrats and leave populism to shift for itse.f in Texas. The withdrawal of Mrs. Lease from politics was an early sign that that cause was waning. There is no good reason for believing that Mary Ellen would have separated herself from tlle cause had the prospects continued good.
 A recent consular report throws an interesting light upon the business methods of the German manufacturers of furniture.

 Porto Rico, say the scientists, was an immense forest, from the seashcre to the mountain summits. T. is doubtful if there is single foot of it's land area which was not at one time covered by tree growth from the diminutive mangrove bushes on the coast tc the giant trees of the mountain sides and tops Although still wooded in the sense that it is dotted by many beautiful trees, the island is now largely deforested from 3 commercial point Of view. Last January one of the members of the government geological survey made Q trip through the military department 1f Porto Rico, during which he became familiar with it's forests, and by in 1uiry obtained much information as to the qualities and uses of the native -imbers. The results Of his obser- 'eiOns are soon to be isued in bul- ecin by the department Of agriculture. This bulletin will be of great interest Q all who are thinking of visiting the sland or of investing money there in business. IL will not only describe he forests. but the mountains valleys. geology, soils, and flora of the island The bulletin is for free distribution. -
