P0PULIsTs ABSORB DEMOCRATS IN THE
WEST.

The absorption of the Democratic
in the Populist party in the States
west of the Missouri goes on apace.
Some days ago Democracy melted
into Populism in Nebraska and South
Dakota. It has now vanished from
the stage in Kansas, The fusion
agreement gives the Democrats but
two Insignificant State offices out of
the many to be filed.
The practical o~bliteration of a
great party in several States is due
mainly to- the persistent influence
of Bryan. He has brought this
about to strengthen his hold on the
Democratic party, and make it feel
that without his aid and that of his
POpulist followers it will be unable
to win in a national cantest. If the
Kansas City convention had not
feared the loss of the Populist vote if
prominence was not given to "16 to
1" the platform would have had ne,
specific mention of the ratio The
certain loss of the electoral votes of
several States which went for Bryan
in 1896, if the demands of the Popu-
lists were not complied with, was
the club which Bryan used to make
the convention submissive.
1t would heve been much better for
the Democratic party if it's represen-
tatives had dared the displeasure of
the Populists and taken the risk of
losing their votes, numerous as they
may be. That course not having
been adopted, the Democratic Ma
tional convention of 1904 will have
to make terms with the Populist
party, stronger and more arrogant
than it is now, or to accept defeat
Is a result of a refusal to yield to it's
demands.-Chicago Tribune.

Three cases of yellow fever are re
ported from Jacksonville, Fla.
The July comparative statement
of government receipts and expen-

The Seminole tribe of Indians who
have been the leading tribe in F1ori,
ia for so many generations are fast
leaving that country. There are now
but three bands left in the State and
these only aggregate about six hun
bred members. So completely have
these people been disintegrated that
no tribal relations now exist between
them. They have no acknowledged
chief and they recognize no mans
authority.

INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-The annual

the commissioner will give in detail
the gross receipts for internal taxes
from all sources. The receipts are
y little over 1895, 600, 900, which is an
increase of nearly s12, 900, 900 over
last year.
