Ex-State Printer Ed. Snow OF Kans.,
says that IL the populist party lasts
much longer it will be the fault OF the
republicans themselves. "If the re-
publican newspapers and orators will
quit abusing the spops," said he, "the
pop party would be dead IN two years.
The rank and file OF the party see no
future for it and are anxious to get back
into the two old parties again In Kan
sas the.populists drew mostly from the
republicans. That element would go
back to the republican party without
a question. Not only that but many Of
the old.time democrats who went of
with the pops are in favor of expansion
and they, too, would go with the Re.
publicans. But it seems that some of
the republican newspapers and orators
don't want them. They keep abusing
the pops like p~ickpockets. II they
would change their tactics and extend
an invitation to the Pops to come over,
| they would profit immensely thereby,
An American citizen, especially Of the
Kansas brand, can be pleaded with, but
not driven into doing things. The re-
publicans should take this cue and acl
accordingly.

The work Of reformation in the city
of Red Cloud has commenced. One OF
our citizens made a short speech at
one Of our churches last Sunday night
which resulted in the calling of a meet
ing at the Office of j. NJ. Chaffin on
Monday for the purpose Of organizing
an anti. saloon and anti .gsmbling,
league. The meeting was held as
called and u committee Of five was
chosen to prepare q constitution and
bylaws, consisting of Revs. Dean,
Barnes, Hussong and Edison, aud J. M.
Chafin as a member from the citizens.
The object Of the organization as stat.
cd in short talks by those present was
to abate saloons, gambling houses, slot
machines, aud other things which to
the organization are obnoxious from a
moral standpoint. While the league
expects to suPpi ess gambling in the
city, they do nos expect to do much
with the saloons which are at present
licensed In our city. but their hopes
are that by the beginning of the next
municipal year they will be organized
strong enough to prevent the issuing
OF license TO q saloon in the city. A
committee to investigate and secure
evidence against saloons, gambling
houses, etc, was also appointed, bu'
we were unable to learn the o.
the committee. The members OF the
league are sanguine as to the grea
amount of good that will be the out
come Of their efforts, but we await fur
ther developments.

EXPORTS OF PBrRoLEUM.
A Great Failing on IN the shipments From
Phtlndelpuia.

Philadelphia, Pa, May S.-The ex-
ports of petroleum from this city to
foreign ports, from the first three
months Of this year, show falling off
of 22,000,000 gallons, compared with
the corresponding period of last year.
This fact, coupled with the shipments
for 1893. which showed falling off of
over 10000, 900 gallons, compared with
1897, has caused some alarm in ship
ping circles, and expression is given
to the belief that Bornean oil is being
brought into direct competition in the
far East with the products of the
domestic market.
The statement is made among oil
mon that until 1898, when the Bornean
oil fields were extensively developed,
the export trade Of this city, for over n
quarter Of century, showed rapid
gains. Comment is also made upon
the fact that a large number of tank
steamships have been withdrawn from
this port and entered into the Bornean
trade.
