JOHN SHERMAN'S VIEWS.
The Worm Has Turned.


Geo. Alfred Townsend Gath in an in
terview with John Sherman, furnishes some
interesting reading:
"Some think, Mr.. Sherman, that there
is no way now but to go on and that to turn
back would be a disgrace?"
Il do not think so. We cannot too soon
retrieve a profound mistake. These Phil
ippine islands never were considered when
we resolved to drive the Spanish out of
Cuba. When we attacked their fleet out
there and destroyed it we should have
come away. 1 fear that perseverance in
this mistake will hurt the Republican par

were of small magnitude compared to the
number of Spanish soldiery left there That
victory, however, altered the plans of the
president, made him a convert to what
he had previously opposed-namely, any
extended sovereignty over the Spanish pcs
sessions. I had followed the president in

Maj. HOtchkiss, editor of the National
Republican, of Preston, Mimi, who came
to the 18th of June Peoples party con-

against fusion" while he was really
working in favor of it, and then accept

a candidate for the position of state Ii
brarian under Gov Lind, had this to say
the other day
The meeting of the Reform press asso-
citation at Kansas City disappointed Barker
and Donnelly. 1t refused to indorse their
self-nomination for president and vice pres
ident. Mr.. Donnelly was present and made
vehement effort to cause the association
to do something favorable to the gold stand
ard oligarchy. He was the only Mime
sotan present and thoroughly misrepresent-
ed the Peoples party of the state.
Capt. Lowe, of the Faribault Jeffer-
sonian, replied to Maj. Hotchkiss as
follows:

and member of the committee. In addi-
ton desire to remind Bro. Hotchkiss
that the men who built the Peoples party,
that were in at "bornin',' men who were
active in the old alliance movement and
who have remained loyal to the party were
at the Kansas City meeting, but the men
who, like the editor of the Republican,
went out after false gods for mess of
pottage, and who are responsible for the
disintegration of the Peoples party, were
not there and they were not there for the
hot how
lists, but Democrats but who have now got
home, since they are through masquerading
as Populists, believing they have done all
the evil and damage they can do the Peo-

Peoples party CRATES harshly upon the souls

party as Hotchkss did can't possibly have

sort of the old harlot Democracy.
This retort was well deserved.
We are sorry for Maj. Hotchkiss. He
is an old man and has been gallant SOL
der in his time. We have never been
his enemy, but stood by him when a
strong effort was made in the legislature
to degrade and disgrace him. We are

Eyes. Mr.. Day. I attended the cabinet
meetings and participated in the debates
and business of my department. The presi-
dent. however, brought this gentleman to
Washington and transacted the state and
foreign affairs through him, who was my
subordinate. Their policy was not formu-
lated nor declared, but drifted along. fol-
lowing the military successes. and my views
upon monarchical acquisition OF foreign
lands and colonies had been known to the
president. When he took another policy
he went past me-
Mr.. Sherman said concerning President
Mckinley that he wondered how man Of
his general want of public ideas or public
policy had become president.
'He was congressman that we had
to hold up and assist said Mr.. Sherman.
There was nothing in his course except
trimming to the wants, as he supposed them
to be, of his immediate constituency. His
hold upon the district was not firm. Yet
he unaccountabfy received the presidential
nomination, when the tariff policy pushed
to an extreme had caused to lose, the
administration, and many of our states.
While there is a mild encouragement Fof
our endeavors in Cuba, I see not the slight

What a pity John Sherman does not
tell all he knows of the secret history of
politics in this country!
How did he come to stop preaching
Populistic doctrines, and become the
leading instrument of plutocracy in de-
monetizing silver and claiming the
American people hand and foot to the

A DREADFUL ADMISSION.

Mr.. Pease, the editor of the Anoka
Union, not a wild-eyed Populist, but a
sensible, practical Republican, occupy
ing high seat in the Sanhedrim, puts
forth this statement:
when you don't got any money, you
needn't expect to get anything from the
legislature in this commonwealth or any
other. No matter how unimportant your
measure may be, it is at once put in the
scale and weighed, and in order to get it
passed, the price must be paid or it will
meet with defeat too quick to talk about.
1t has got so that nothing but money talks
In legislative halls, and those who have
got the stuff are those who win out. A
sorry state of affairs, and if you don't be-
lieve it's true, why just try your hand
monkeying with some bill and you will
soon learn your lesson good and plenty"
Isn't it time to introduce the initiative
and referendum when representative
government has brought us to this hor-
rible condition? Is not the Populist
party a necessity? I'D.

A lawyer, having occupied journal
lists room one night, thought to make
a joke at the expense of his host, and
sent him the following lines:
Il slept in an editors bed last night,
When no other CHANGED to be nigh;
And thought as l tumbled the editors
bed,
How easily editors lie!"
The journalist was equal to the occa-
sion, and Immediately penned the fol-
lowing lines, sent them to the lawyer:
IF the lawyer slept in the editors bed
When no other CHANGED to be nigh;
And though he has written and naiyely
said.
How easily editors lie;
He must then admit as he lay on that

OUR CONSERVATIVE REPUBLIC.

Gently visited London, has this to say in
regard to the workings of the city council
of West Ham: ut puts new faith and hope

Socialism is utopian,' to sit in council
having jurisdiction over 300, 900 people, that
is overwhelmingly Socialist and to hear
measures discussed and passed by a large
majority that in our country would seem
impractical and even revolutionary
The truth is that England and other
European countries have less spirit of
conservatism than the people of the
United States. We have never got pro-
vincialism out of our blood, since the
days Of blessed George III. Then the
minority of the people established a
great republic against majority who
we're the servile adorers Of monarchy.

PEFFERISM.

We find the following in the Omaha
Nonconformist:
"A Kansas exchange, commenting upon
the return Of PETER to his old quarters in
the G. o. D., makes the following observa-
tions:
The lesson learned by Populists in
their experience with PETER is the same
that it has been with dozens of other
fakir experimenters. 1t also verifes the
the statement we have often repeated
that the curse of Office under present
systems is the stumbling block to re-
form efforts. In the first place, the
schemer gets the Office and the honest
man who would gladly do something for
his country is left at home to pillow and
stagger under his load. Just as soon as
the schemer commences to draw his
salary he knows that times have be-
come better that there is wave of
prosperity sweeping over the land, and
he rubs up against the fine things and
the pretty things always to be found in
Washington with the full conviction
that the country has been saved. PETER
was no exception. He had never
pressed a hundred dollar bill between
his fingrs until he was landed in the
senate, and when he commenced hand
ling them, he realized how nice it
would be to have more of them to
Spend ana Tor his children to have
them also.
What is true of PETER has been amply
exemplifed all down through the line,
where the cry for reform has been taken
advantage of by hungry mendicants to ride
into position, and whose interest in the
very reforms they were advocating there
after faded away. They not only ceased
agitation, but looked with disdain upon
their former associates. turned down every
applicant for minor positions at their
hands and proceeded to choose their ap-
pointees from outside ranks, from people
who had never had sympathy with the
party nor contributed a cent to the further
ance of the campaigns.
The Populist party has learned bitter
lesson from it's experience in electing such
candidates to Office and is apt to profit by
it in the future. Republican and Demo-
cratic machines always have money to run
their campaigns Without eternally passing
the hat among the rank and file. How do
they get it? When they elect men to high
salaried offices. these officers known they
owe debt to theire party and as they value
their future they, !, contribute to maintain
the good standing Of their organizations.
Nor do they coldlyiturn down members and
workers in their own ranks and come to the
Popuiist ranks for timber to fill their ap-
pointive positions. ~

been identified with the early propaganda
