amply demonstrated by the diScrepan-
cies between the population and the
postal receipts of such cities as Jersey

OF the three largest cities Chicago

OMAHA, Neb., May 11.-(Times spec
aD-The Omaha World-Herald, the
leading fusion organ in Nebraska, is
silent on the action OF the Sioux Falls
convention. Said Editor Metcalf. 1--WE
shall not comment on the subject"
The Omaha Bee (Republican) says:
From beginning to end, the sole OBJ
ject held in view by the managers in
control was to deliver over to the Demo-
Gratis the name and machinery of the
Populist party. Not move was made
except in conformity with the plan of
action mapped out in advance by Bryan
and his Democratic associates who un-
dertook to engineer the Sioux Falls side
show as an advance entertainment to
the big show to be exhibited at Kansas
City in July. The sentiments expressed
by the leading Omaha Democrats is that
the Populists at Sioux Falls make a
huge mistake in nominating candidate
for vice-president"

You hate great deal of your old party

You long for good laws and for PROS

And want to see boodlers sent up for

You want more reforms than we've

You hope for chance, and you pray for

A STRIKING CONTRAST
THE TWO CONyENTIONS-WHER
THE POPULIsTs ARE.
Look at this dispatch:


CINCINNATI. May 9.-The national con-
vention of the anti-fusion element Of the
Peoples party. otherwise known as the
Middie-of- the Readers. was called to order
shortly after 1 o'clock. Nearly 700 dele
gates were present, representing every state
IN the Union except five-Arizona, New
Mexico. North Carolina, South Carolina and
Vermont.

Especial to the Dispatch.)
SIOUX FALLS S. D., May 9.-It has just
begun to dawn upon the leaders of the
fusion branch of the Populist party that the
Middle Of the-Road sentiment is strong.
OUTSIDE OF NEBRASKA AND SOUTH
DAKOTA THERE IS NOT A STATE EVEN
IN THE WEST THAT is REPRESENTED
BY ANYTHING LIKE A FULL DELEGA-
TON. Where 1t was figured that 900 Of
the delegates would attend the convention,
it Is doubtful il there will be over 400 here.
all told. The attendance outside the dele
gates Is nothing like what had been pre-
dicted. Arrangements had been made for
the housing of from 5000 to 1000 people in
private houses, but up till today the hotels
have been able to care for all that are here
There are few located in private houses
but this is simply from preference, and not
from compulsiOn. Many of the citizens who
have gone to considerable expense in fitting
up sleeping rooms and eating stands, begin
to think they are up against bankruptcy.
The much-talked-0f Nebraska excursion
train arrived yesterday, and instead of there
being the predicted 600, there were just 152
people, all told, on the train.
Open the doors, boys, and call the
foolish wanderers back. All honest men
will be sincerely welcome. Id.

GO TO WORK.

Now let the real Populists push the
work. The fusionists are c1rosea and
played out. In the South they have no
standing. Even Butler has soured on
the Democrats. He had to do it or lose
his support in North Carolina.
Weaver sticks to the Democrats. II
there was anything meaner than. the
Democrats Weaver would stick to that.
In "the lowest Deep he seeks q lower
Deep"
A correspondent of the Chicago
Times-Herald writes:
Senator Butler In his speech made the
significant statement that II Mr. Bryan was
defeated in 1900, this must be taken as eyi-
dence that the Populist body should sever
its alliance with the Democratic party. and
once more pursue the course Of an entirely
independent political organization

TWIXT DEVIL AND DEEP SEA.

On the other hand. If the Kansas City
convention reject Towne it will be direct
slap at its ally and will send the Populists
IN body to Barker, whose platform is
ideally Populistic. 1t is difficult to COM
prehend the pusillanimity of body of men,
with the pretensions of these Populists,
who, having met in national convention,
and, after due deliberation, rejecting the
suggestion to defer expression of their
choice to the Democracy, declared their
choice, would tamely submit to the rejec-
tion of their selection and accept meekly
the implied reflection upon both their judg-
ment and their influence. Many would
probably submit to this degredation. but
the mass would resent it.

KILLING THE GREENBACKS.

@. Does the newly enacted finance law
retire all the greenbacks? If SO, is there a
certain date when they will be called in by
the government? A. The law does not
retire" the greenbacks except in SO far as
1T provides that when they are once re-
deemed in gold they shall not be paid out
again except for gold.-Pioneer Press -
But who will pay gold for green
backs? What is to be gained by it?
Hence this means the destruction of
all the peoples money; and that there
shall not be dollar in CIRCULATION for
which somebody has not given his note
across bank counter and promised to
pay interest upon it.
And the people seem satisfied to be a
nation of debtors-and debtors are
