A southe.h View.

The Lincoln meeting last week has
at least demonstrated Dne fact to men
who desire to votet for true reform:
and that is that thoE have been blindly
following for four ysars gang Of high
binders who are dan1esate enough, dis
honest enough to resort to trickery that
would make the met unscrupulous old
party boss blush with shame. No true
Populist will long@ ID fooled by the
Butler-Allen contx1a 1anon, who have
unmasked their dsSien to strangle the
party that has houofto them with the
positions for whith hey have shown
themselves wholly 1nworthy, in order
that they may bss {therers of crumbs
from the Bryan .tabl1. Henceforth any
man who follows HITLER or Allen, or
any man who ca.pHerates with them,
has no right to proclaim himself a
Populist, nor wlll He be recognized as
such. He is wAiiaesto remain swigging
swif from the Denlocratic slop-barrel,
which is doubtless more than he de-
serves -Okloha (dfss.) Messenger.

Cleveland, 1t goes forward with Nc
Kinley. Office isn't money, true! But
what is the public difference whether a
vote is DETECTED from lines of honesty
and congressional expression subverted
by bribe of Office or bribe Of gold?
It's all one to the people. Corruption
prithee! The woods Of the last three
years have been fair full of it. The
forests of the coming five will be fuller
still, II voting folks do not arouse them
selves to see to it that both registra-
tion and ballot be this year honest, and
Mckinley beaten down. Corruption!
There's been nothing but corruption
since Hanna, with Mckinley as a mask
and money as Jimmy, broke into gen.
eral control. What is the Dingley
tariff but corruption? What was the
twenty millions to Spain? The three
millions to Cuba? What were boat
purchases like the Merrimac, or that
OF Hanna's yacht, the Comanche?
What were the embalmed beef con-
tracts that dismissed Eagan and Alger?
What were the pest camps, located to
breed returns to railroads, and which
killed ten soldiers for ever one who fell
in action, until 5000 were stricken
down? What Is our attitude towards
Porto Rico?-our pose towards Cuba?
What Is our fake war in the Philip
pines to cost 200 millions year? What
are the ship building contracts to
Cramp, and the double prices to Carne-
gle for armor plates? What is Cages
gift of the New York customs house
property to the Standard Oil bank?
What is the Gage deposit of public mil
lions, without interest, law or reason,
save the six per cent the bank itself
could make with that same Standard
Oil institution? What is Hanna's pro-
posed ship subsidy? What is the pro-
posed currency scheme? Pruriency in
vile-smelling, unending procession! It
Is all corruption! And Miles is dis
graced because he said "embalmed
beef" And Dewey is disgraced be-
cause he is suspected of hankering for
presidency. And Schley is disgraced
becouse he is a Democrat, and in the
way of that capper, tout and agent for
Carnegie's armor plates, Sampson. And
HObsOn is sent to Manila lest he say
that the Merrimac was sunk to hide the
evidences of her swindling purchase.
And Abner Mckinley is worth many
millions of dollars. Corruption! Why,
masters, the whole nation is sold body,
soul and self-respect to England in the
canal treaty by our poppinjay secretary
of state.-The Verdict.

NO FUSION.
Rice. County Speaks Out.

| The call for a Populist conferenc.
I was not responded to as heartily as we
had hoped, but it brought out a mum
Der OF the loyal and true, the IRE
pressisbles, and who for an hour OF
more canvassed the situation. We have
| talked with many who could not gel
out and with the letters Of regret We
received, we are justified in saying that
the POpulists of Rice county are pat
for straight ticket. J. R. Lowe was
selected to make the call If found nee
essary to elect delegates to a state
convention, but not to take the place
of the real committee unless it shall
fail to act. The following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas: In the organization of the
Peoples party, it's members laid great
stress upon the platform adopted at
the first national convention in Omaha,
Neb., July 4th, 1892,
Whereas: The people rallied to its
support by casting 1,25O,O0O votes,
drawing from both parties.
Whereas: In 1896, through the dis
honest work of false leaders the Peo-
ple's party was sold out to the Demo-
Gratis.
Whereas: Fusion has had the effect
to demoralize all effort to propagate
reform principles, and that thousands
who voted with the Populists in 1924
have returned to their old love.
Therefore Be it Resolved: That the
Populists of Rice county, in conference
assembled, do hereby most emphati-
cally refuse to countenance fusion in
any form, and hereby demand of the
leaders that they refuse to have any
thing to do with any one looking to
a fusion with either old party. .
Resolved: That we indorse the ac-
ton Of that portion of the national
committee recently in session at Lin
coin, Neb., in refusing to become a
party to fusion, and that they have
our unqualified approval in calling a
National convention at Cincinnati, May
9th, for the nomination of president
and vice president, and we do hereby
pledge ourselves to the upbuilding of
the party on these new lines.
Resolved: That we call upon the
voters of this county to carefully con-
slider the principles Of the Peoples
party, including direct legislation, to
the end that they may cast a ballot
that makes for equity and Justice for
mankind.

The Sky Clearing.

The end of fusion has at last come,
| and henceforth man will be either a
Populist or Democrat, but he can't set
astride the fence. This is certainly as
it should be. A man has perfect
right to choose the party with which
he wishes to affiliate, the same as he
has church, but to pull another po-
litical organization into their own or
weld another church onto theirs and
thus compel large portion Of the
members of the organization to either
give up their freedom Of thought or
withdraw from their former organiza-
tions is wrong both in act and prin-
ciple. The act of fusion drove good men
out OF both the Democratic and Peo-
pies parties and caused the Republican
part to gain rapidly. The only man
the fusionists elected two years ago
was Lind, and the most enthusiastic
supporters Of the fusion party will ad-
nit that Lind was elected by rupture
in their own ranks.
The arbitrary acts OF Chairman But
Ter in refusing to seat number of the
committee known to be against fusion
who were honestly elected and entitled
to place on the National Committee
was the last straw on the camel's
back" and fifty-seven of the members
of the committee walked out of the
convention and organized another
committee and fixed upon Cincinnati
as the place for the National Populist
Convention. May 9th is the time set
for the convention, and the Democrat
part of the committee has made a call
for a national convention for the same
day. to take place at Sioux Falls
Renville County Union.

heart was in the right place, would
be guilty of such ingratitude to his
friends and none but a craven would
fawn at the feet and lick the hands of
a political organization that had
treated him as the Southern Democ-
racy treated James B. Weaver If his
tastes and inclinations. run in that di-
rection, or if his personal interest is
to be subserved by turning his back
upon his friends, and making such an
unmanly surrender, General Weaver
has our permission to enjoy all the re-
wards he may be able to secure
through such dishonorable conduct,
but Frank Burkitt congratulates him
self that he is not made of such ma
terial.-Okalona Messenger.

A Bit of Political History.

"WhO would have believed that the
day would ever come when such men
as Jim Weaver and William v. Allen
would have the power to shut out Of a
straight Populist convention such men
as Hon. Frank Burkitt, Hon. w. L.
Peek, General Phillips, or Tom Watson,
and men of like fidelity and fealty to
principles upon which the party is
founded ?"-Southern Mercury
Greed for Office does, indeed, create
strange complications. In 1892 General
Weaver, then the nominee of the Peo-
ple's party for President, started on a
tour through the South, the hot-bed Of
Bourbon Democracy. He made an ap-
pointment at Tupelo, Miss, where we
met him and at the risk of our life,
stood between him and a mob and Sc
cured to him the constitutional right
to address the thousands of people
there assembled. This experiment in
behalf of free speech cost us $685. 90 in
, fines. court costs and attorneys fees,
besides deal of trouble and annoy
ance. General Weaver went from Mis-
sissippi to Atlanta, Ca, where the
Democracy used their strongest argu-
ment, in the shape of stale hen fruit,
against him, and compelled him to
abandon his Southern speech-making
trip. In short, he hied himself across
the Ohio as quick as steam could carry
him.
Frank Burkitt continued his canvass
for congress in the Fourth congress
sional district of Mississippi, and on
every stump defended Weaver against
the outrageous charges brought
against him by the Democracy and de-
nounced in the strongest language we
could command; the lying assaults
upon his character as Union soldier
and the villainous caricatures with
which the country was flooded, repre-
senting him as marauder, freebooter
these represented Weaver as having
caught the last old hens owned by
poor old woman and making OF with
them under each arm, turning q deaf
ear to the owner, who, with uplifted
hands, was pleading for their return
We thought this and similar repre-
sentations was so gross an injustice to
an honored soldier, even IL he was an
enemy. that our indignation was thor
oughiy aroused; but, since Weaver has
used all the energy. ability and cum
ming he possesses to form a political
alliance with Bryan Democracy, and
to turn Southern Populists over to the
tender mercies Of these same old Bour-
hons who denied to him free speech,
caricatured him in SO vile. a manner,
and rotten-egged him out of the South,
we have sometimes thought there was
more truth In the chicken-stealing
story than We were willing to believe
in 1892. Certain It b, no man whose

POP. COMMITTEE TO MEET
Member. in Favoripf Fusion Want
Conventio41July4 4.

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-The national
Populist committee will be called to-
gether again to issue new call for
the Populist convention, so that the
Populists will meet in Kansas City July
4, when the Democratic national con-
vention meets. At l9ast, this is pro-
ject started by the Kansas Populists.
Information was received at the ma
tional Democratic headquarters Mon
day that in several Kansas counties the
local Populist committees had met and
passed resolutions urging the Kansas
members of the Populist national COM
mfttee to request National Chairman
Butler to call the national committee
for the purpose of issuing a new call
for the convention.
1t is believed that this idea will be
taken up by the Nebraska Populists
and that enough pressure can be
brought to bear to bring about the re-
suits desired.
The Silver Republicans are expected
to get together In a short time to call
their convention, And 1t is regarded as
strong possibility that they will meet
in Kansas City July 4.
This would not suit that wing of the
Democratic party that is hoping to see
free silver put in the background.
1t is known that e considerable part
of the DemocratfA rational committee
would prefer THAI he Populists and
Silver Republicans Hold their conven-
tions in places and On days apart from
the Democratic co4vdntion.

But we've another maxim
That's little more to date,
It used to be used by England
And we've been usin' 1t of late;
It can't be beat, the people say,
It is: That might makes right;
! And tell you it works to perfection
I When you're on the side of might.
OF course, in the revolution,
That maxim could not be;
For when England was unjust to US
That was downright tyranny.
We all admire Patrick Henry,
suppose you know what he said:
IF / cannot have liberty,
would rather that I were dead!"
So re giving this to the rebels,
We're giving it good and strong;
We cannot proftably give them up,
So we're KILN the most of the
throng.
Now teach the little children,
That come to school to you,
That the reason we have conquered
Is because God sees what we do.
But don't ever dare breathe word to
them
That this is just all excuse;
Don't tell that we know they are suf-
fering,
That we are giving them abuse;
Don't say that they are dying,
That families are rent atwain;
Don't tell them that we are fighting
Just for the greed and gain.
But say that the rebels
Are in need of the gospel light,
And the only way to give it to them
Is through this ungodly fight;
And now, We people Of America,
If you have any pity to spare,
Just take it to the Beers
There's plenty of room for it there.
And remember the cruelty Of the Brit
ish,
How they're forcing the Beers to
roam,
How they're starving the wives and
children,
And breaking up many home
OF course we are doing the same
With the Filipino band,
But, then, we'll make this out different,
Because, you see, we're in command;
And it's easier to pity the people
That fall at the British hand.
XII.
So now, If you should happen to think
That we're not right in this fight,
Don't ever give way to your pity,
But Just think that might makes
right;
And always 60 with your country,
Don't stop for right or wrong,
But just keep in with the popular
crowd
Keep In with the largest throng.

OWN YOUR HOME.
How to Stop Paying Rent by Building a House
to Live in.


If you own city lot you can borrow
money at low rate of interest to build a
home. The plan is new in this country
but almost universal in Europe, and is
known as the "Amortizement Loan"
By this plan your debt is gradually paid
off and the home is soon paid for at about
the same rate monthly as your rent now
comes to and at no time is large sum to
be met. If your lot is worth $500 and
the house you build $500, or 81 900 in all
you can borrow $500 at 7 per cent, or $50
per year. You can pay the whole amount
at any time after one year, but if six
years should run the rental would be less
than $40 per month and at the end
you would own your own home. Ample
capital is ready to be invested in this city
by the Equitable Saving & Loan Assn,
for home building purposes. Apply for
further particulars to w. l.. Steinweg at
First National bank.

arations.
The various subcommittee acting for
the executive committee are preparing to
suitably welcome the BRYAN party on
the 3lst inst. Mason's opera house has
been engaged for night reception, and a
stand will be erected on the south side Of
Larson's theater for the afternoon speak
ing. The council unanimously granled
the request of the committee as repre-
scented by Mr.. Snyder to close A street on
the 30th and 3lst 80 that seats may be
put up for the ladies. The Nagler band
has been engaged and nearly enough
money was received on Monday to pay
the small outlay necessary to entertain
the distinguished guests. Many repub.
licans cheerfully contributed to the fund.
There is some talk Of having Mr.. Bryan
entertained at some private residence,
but the consensus OF opinion is that Mr..
Bryan would prefer to stop with his pri-
vate secretary where he may be enabled
to welcome all corners without the re-
straint imposed at private residence.
