THE DECLINE OF POPULISM.

The Omaha Bee truthfully remarks:
The disintergration of the Populist
party commenced almost from the
hour it entered into an alliance with
the Democratic party for the sake of
spoils.
Populism was revolt of the pro-
ducers against the subserviency of
the old parties to corporate monopoly.
1t was the uprising of the tOilers in
field and factory against extortion
and oppression for which no redress
could be obtained through the exist
ing political parties, whose machin-
cry was in the hands of corporation
lackeys.
When the Populist party met IN
national convention at Omaha seven
years ago it proclaimed it's independ-
ence and emancipation from all other
political organizations and made that
declaration emphatic by promulgat-
ing it on Independence day. In less
than four years it succumbed to it's
Establishments of the party that had
built up an aristOcratic oligarchy in
the south and scandalized the repub-
lie by building up Tammany in the
north.
The new alliance was humIliating
and demoralizing from the outset.
The shabby treatment accorded Tom
Watson as the candidate for vice
president exhibited the clOven hoof
of the democratic Mephisto. Had
Bryan and Sewall been successful the
Populists would have long ago been
completely swallowed up and every
P0pulist compelled to swear allegi-
ance to democracy if he wanted any
recognition. The failure of the coali-
tion has simply delayed the inevita-
BILE break-ups by holding out false
hopes of reforms to be accomplished
by continuing fusion in the states in
which votes of Populists were essen
tial to give the Democrats control.
By appealing to prejudice and passion
Populists were hoodwinked into
Treating the Republicans as the COM
mon enemy. In the southern states
where the Bryan Democracy is in abb
s0lute control and Populist votes I'M
Necessary, Populism has been snuffed
out and its leaders insulted at every
turn
Even this one sided partnership
might have been maintained with
oome degree of self-respect on the
0nrt OF honest Populists had the coal
1tfOn kept faith with the people by
8Iying them the reforms that were

Two years ago John Brinkworth
drove six miles into Seneca with a
wagon load of fine Shropshire sheep
and Joined the procession which pro-
ceeded big Republican meeting. On
his wagon he had a banner showing
the price of wool under Cleveland's
free trade policy and coupled with
this was a prophecy of what wool
would bring after McKinley's election
The Democrats secuted this prophecy.
but last week Mr.. BrinkwOrth sold
his entire crop of wool at 20 cents
pound net. which was more than he
predicted on his banner.-EX.

promised Instead of this, every
pledge made to meet the demands
that brought Populism into life has
er obtained through Populist support
has been shamefully abused in the in
terest of the most disreputable ma
chine politicians that have ever been
given positions of honor and trust by
any party This is particularly true
in states like Kansas, Nebraska and
the Dakotas.
AS was to have been expected, near
ly all the founders of the PopuliSt
party have been disguised with the
bargain and are breaking away from
the fusion ranks, which they realize
tends finally to ABSORPTION in the
Democratic party. Following Sena-
tors Kyle and PETER we now have the
announcement of the abandonment
of the demo-populist alliance by H.
l.. LOuckS of South Dakota, who had
been the most prominent figure in the
old Farmers Alliance movement ard
was one of the recognized pillars of
populism. Like Mr.. PETER Mr..
Loucks repudiates the sham reform
ers and brands coalition as a betrayal
of all the principles for which Popu-
lists had left their old parties.
Mr.. Loucks represents the rank and
file of the original Populists and his
example will certainly be followed by
thousands of others who are begin
ming to see how they have been used
as catspaws for the benefit of played
out democratic politicians who could
not hope to get near an office without
their support.

If those who own horses, cows and
dogs that are almost distracted by
flies this hot weather, will wash them
each morning with teaspoonful of
creolin to a tin cup of water, the
poor dumb brutes will never cease to
be grateful. Creolin can be had at
any drug store and is harmless. 1t
can be applied without dilution, but
is equally efficient diluted. 1t should
be prepared fresh each time it is used.
Wash the animals face and ears, neck,
under the side of body and legs, and
you will be rewarded by seeing the
poor animal stand quiet, while for
merly wearing itself out trying to
keep the flies off by stamping and bit
ing. There is no better wash for
sores and CALLED places on horses and
dogs. CreOlin sells at fifty cents a
pound.-Ex.
