One Sensible Populist,

1t has been noted that many of the
Populist conventions in Kansas have
remained silent on the expansion
question, and it is well known that 8
large element Of the party is chatting
under the demand made by the lead
ers that the rank and file shall in.
dorse the flag-lowering policy of the
Democrats. OF this we are reminded
by singing editorial in the Pleas.
anton Herald, the leading Populisl
paper in Linn county, from which we
extract a few paragraphs, as follows
"That President Mckinley and his
official family have made mistakes,
there is no question. Had our presi.
dent foreseen the outcome Of Dewey's
visit to Manila, May /, 1898, it is
quite likely the move would never

The Populist county conventions
throughout the State, with their
usual inconsistency, are adopting
resolutions denouncing the Philip
pine war and commencing the Twen.
tieth Kansas regiment for the part it
played in the struggle. The X. G.
Journal thinks that to denounce a
war as unholy and in the next breath
laud a regiment that took the most
prominent part in it is feat that
only Populists are able to perform.

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived concerning the meanings OF the
words "dossier." "bordereau" and
"petit blue" so frequently used in
accounts of the Dreyfus affairs The
"dossiern or "secret dossier" is, freely
translated, the record of the case. 1t
is collection of papers belonging to
the war department, and collected
in connection with the case. The
Dor lereau is a memorandum list of
certain information concerning the
Notifications and military equipments
of France, claimed by his enemies to
have been written by Dreyfus, but to
the authorship Of which Esterhazy
has recently confessed. "Petit blue"
or ''little blue" is pneumatic tube
postal card. They are small blue
cards used exclusively in the pneu-
matte tube service. One Of these
cards was found in the German EN-.
bassy by Picquart, then in the secret
service Of the army, and the writing
was that Of Esterhazy which cores
ponded with that of the bordereau.
Picquart was charged with forging
this "petit blue" but has not yet
been tried. He will not be, doubt
less, as Esterhazy confessed to the
fact that the petit blue" was sup.
posed to prove.

st. Louis, Aug. s3.-The first steps to
organize the democrats of Illinois out
side OF Chicago for William J. Bryan in
1900 have been taken and a number of
prominent democrats have organized
the "Original William Jennings Bryan
club of Illinois," Congressman b. +.
Caldwell is credited with being the pro-
moter of the organization. Bryan
clubs will be organized throughout the
state without delay, the purpose being
to secure the Illinois delegation for

to aid the proiessed antitrust party.
Denunciation Of trusts by such par
ty should not even excite surprise.
1t would be considered perfectly
characteristic.
Nothing that party can do or say,
after making such record for itself
and having such record made even
by the ablest and best business men
in it, can secure public confidence. 1t
can be judged only by the known
temper OF the great majority Of its
voters, which was plainly indicated
by the Bryan campaign in 1896 and
by the acts Of the party while in
power. 1t has shown that the rooted
prejudices OF It's western and south
ern voters make it always foe to the
development OF American industries
by protection, though its best men
know, as ex-Mayor Grace OF New
York frankly admits, how greatly
protection has promoted prosperity.
Nobody would expect leading Demo-
Gratis to defeat its free silver or free
trade tendency. As for the trusts, it
has never crippled or even assailed
one when in power; it has been
bought by more than one and has en-
riched more than one by its action.
Nobody expects the Democrats OF
prominence in trusts and combina-
tions to make the least difference
with the antitrust platform; on the
contrary, the men denounced are ex-
pected to help the party as far as
they can.
1t has been by Democratic encour'
agement Of injurious combinations
that the trusts have thrived. Not a
law is on the statute book passed by
Democratic body Of any sort that is
opposed to trusts. On the contrary
the Republicans have been foremost
in adopting laws which would hinder
and cripple the trusts and proposes
to increase its vigilance in that d.
rection.
No wonder, under such circum-
stances, the Demo-Pops "deny the
sincerity" of other parties efforts for
increasing the nations business along
right lines. They do not know what
"sincerity" is themselves.
