DECLINE OF A PARTY WHICH
ONCE SHOWED STRENGTH.
Prominent Weste rn Men Are Aban.
doning Popu1ism and Signs of the
Party's Early demise Begin to Null

Ex-senator PETER and Senator Har-
ris of Kansas have signified their in
tention to return to the Republican
party. In doing this they followed
rather than led in a general exodus
from the Populist party in the West.
The New York Sun publishes letters
from eight Western and Southern
States regarding this decline of PoDu-
ism. These letters contain authorita
tive statements from Populist and
Democratic leaders. They show in
cidentally general agreement on the
point that in no State, except Ne
braska, will fusion ticket be accepted
by the Populists in 1900. Prominent
Populists, in admitting that their party
is not SO strong as it was three years
ago, argue that the decrease in strength
comes from desertion of Democrats
who were Populists only in name. The
situation as stated by the correspon-
dents of the Sun is in brief as follows:
Arkansas-Populism as name is I'M
questionably dying out. Populism as
an idea, however, is strong with the
Democrats as we'll as the fusionists.
The rank and file of the Populist party
have returned to the Democratic fold
and the Populists will probably not
| nominate a State ticket in 1900. In
| 1894 the Populist candidate for Cover
nor received 24, 541 votes. In 1897, H.

ELEPHANT BRASS BAND.
Ringing Brothers Remarkable Troupe Of
Pachyderms.

HoNhJbN'"S'
An elephant brass banda musical
organization composed entirely Of pro-
boscidians-this is the latest trained
AMI nal seneation introduced by the
famous Ringing Brothers, sole proprie.
tors and managers Of the Worlds Great
est Shows. There are five of these big,
unwieldy elephantine wind jabbers, and
the way they blow great blue blasts out
of their long heicon horns is caution to
the musical fraternity Their repertoire
is rot an extensive one, but thew have 50
far mastered the intricscies OF musical
notation Us to render Comm Through
the Rye with sucn n thnnderous volume
OF sound as to rattle neighboring windows
and cause the lions and tigers to roar Il
protest in deep feline bass. But the
real point the act illustrates. and which
in itself excites wonder, is the fact that
elephants can play music, and, incident
ally, that their lung power is several hun
dred times greater than that Of the lar
gest circus band, even when PLAYING dou-
bic fortissmo passages. Herr Sender,
the trainer of this twenty-one ton brass
band, is German. Who but German
would have the patience to work out
such grostesque musical conception
When he conceived the idea Herr Sou
der's first experiment was to find out An
81 onGopt'a hmm Ear thic
he secured a lung tester and improviseh
a mouthpiece which enabled the animal
to blow into the machine. The result
| fully satisfied the trainer as to an ele-
plants matchmaking capacity. The
indicator climbed up to the top notch in
a twIDkling and then the mechanism
gave way under the pressure of the four
ton beast, aud collapsed. From that
moment the elephant brass band became
a distinct future possibility. which is re-
allied in the funny elephant band which
will be one of the many great features
with Ringing Brothers. great show when
it exhibits in North Yakima, afternoon
only Monday, June ~. Souder's ele-
plant brass band is not, however, the
only remarkably trained elephant act
with this great show. Lockhart's ele-
plant comedians and Marchand's pugi-
listic pachyderms vie with the elephsn
tine musicians in sensational interest.
Another notably clever trained animal
novelty is OBrien's famous sixty-one
horse act. The arenic part of the show
is bewilderingly prehensive. The
greatest american and European aerial
lists and acrobats, the most sensational
specialists, the worlds most skillful and
| intrepid somersault riders, keep the three
rinEe, double stages and aerial spaces in
constant Kaleidoscope motion. The free
street parade which inaugufates circus
day is entirely new this wear, and is be-
yOni comparison the most resplendent
professional display that the eye OF man
has ever looked upon.
