NO FUSiONIN INDIANA.
Democrats and Populisis Can't Agree and
Populists Go 1t Alone.

Populists Go 1t Alone.
indianapolis, Ind, March 25.-It be-
came known here to-day that the Dem
ocrats and Populists have failed to
reach an understanding in reference to
fusion and as result the Populists
have called a state nomination conven-
ton for May 1st, and will put full
state ticket in the field. At a recent
conference of the leaders of the Popu-
for representation on the State Demo
cratic ticket and pledged themselves
not to nominate a ticket If two places
We're given to them. The Democrats
declined to consider the proposition on
the ground that there are Democratic
aspirants for all of the nominations
and that none of the candidates would
be willing to step aside for Populists,
and it was very doubtful if the conven-
ton would make such concessions.
The Populist leaders then notified
the Democrats that they would not on
ly nominate Il state ticket, but would
also put up candidates for Congress in
the several districts. The conference
adjourned with the understanding that
there was no possibility of fusion and
the Populists Immediately issued the
call for the state convention. Leading
Democrats express the belief that the
majority Of the Populists will vote the
Democratic state ticket anyhow.

A dozen or more years ago farmer
twisted a bit OF iron about wire
fence, and noticed that his cattle
avoided it. Thus originated the use of
the barbedwire fence, which has cut
the great free prairies into ranches.
1t has lacerated and cut from water
countless numbers Of the wild animals
that once roamed the prairies, and Is
now classed as war material by the
nations. Both in Cuba and in South
Africa the Generalization wrought by
the deadly barbed-wire fence was
greater than that of the most improved
guns and powder. The position of
fence cutter has promoted the drum
mer-boy into the forefront OF danger.
When Lieutenant Ord led his men in
a rush up San Juan hill, boy private
by his side, fell mortally wounded
Ord heard his faint cry and paused in
his rush to say. My poor fellow. l can
do nothing for you Il did not call
you back for that" was the brave re-
ply. Il am done for; but take my
steel nippers. There may be another
fence beyond that hill. and l won't be
there to cut it for you" The boy lived
to hear the shout of victory, but the
gallant leader with the boys nippers
in his hand and the boys devotion last
in his heart lay dead not many yards
away.

At the annual dinner OF the Silk
Association of America recently, the
chief guest was the Chinese minister
to the United States, WI Ting Fang.
He made the speech OF the evening.
He contrasted the friendly attitude OF
the United States toward China with
the aggressions of European nations,
and said that SO long as Americans
kept on in their pacific policy of COM
merce and trade, they would be well
come everywhere, not only in China,
but in Japan as well. Trade statistics
indicate that the Chinese minister is
righl. China is buying now of Ameri-
can goods from five to six times as
much as 1t bought ten years ago. Last
year it bought four million dollars
worth more than the year preceding
The gain was mostly in cotton goods
kerosene and flour. Foreign trade. of
course, is not controlled by sentiment.
People buy what they like best, where
they can get 1t cheapest; but, other
things being equal; they would rather
buy of their friends than of those
whom they may regard as enemies.

"A Most Curious Fact"

The inconsistency of the Democratic
party in its treatment of the colored
people of the South and its insistence
upon the rights of the colored people in
the islands acquired from Spain has
often been pointed out but never bet
ter than in the following extract:
1t is a most curious fact that, while
Southern Democrats are doing all in
their power to deprive the negroes of
the elective franchise in the Southern
states, they are loud in their demands
that the yellow, red, brown and black
races of the countries acquired from
Spain shall be at once vested with citi-
zenship and the ballot This doctrine
that the constitution of the United
States follows the flag is n newfangled
device which not only has no founda-
ton in the constitution, but it is a most
dangerous assault on constitutional
guarantees.
The reader will probably jump at
once to the conclusion that this ap-
peared in n Republican newspaper. 1t
did not, however. 1t Is from an edi-
torial article ON The Constitution and
the Flag" printed conspicuously in the
New Orleans 'Picayune" last week,
Wednesday.
The "Picayune" has the courage to
tell the truth in this matter, even II 1t
does have to expose the Inconsistency
of It's own party.

Silver Republicans Return.

"rhe Silver Republican party has no
reason for further existence. Those
of the party who believe with Mr.. Bry-
an in anti-expansion. in hauling down
the flag, in giving back what our SOL
diers have won with their blood, in
lending aid and comfort to the enemy
by disloyalty to the government at
home, should go where they belong,
and that is to the Democratic party.
But l believe that nine-tcnths of the
Silver Republicans of the coast are
back in the Republican party or about
to get there"
| Thus spoke former Senator Lee Man
| tie of Montana, who, rumor says, VIII
be the candidate of the reunited Re
publican party for governor in his
state this fall. Mr.. Mantle is sitting
in the subcommittee OF the Federal
industrial commission at the Audito-
rum, and yesterday he consented to be
interviewed concerning the political sit
uation.
1.-TWO years ago the Democrats, Sill
yer Republicans and Populists met in
three conventions in Montana and de-
clared individually for silver. But the
| Democrats ignored their allies of 1896,
and in their greed of Office shut us out
along with the Populsts. Then they
proceeded to make the name Of Mon
tana byword and reproach the
length and breadth of the land. They
smirched our fair name with the sena-
torial scandal. The Republicans Of
Montana feel that they have had about
enough of the Democracy In their state.
The war came. The Philippines drop
ped into our lap. The Democrats want
to give the islands up and they have
preached disloyalty. The West has
felt already the commercial influence
] of exapnsion.
| "If silver were the sole issue, as in
1896, l would support Mr.. Bryan. l
believe Mr.. Bryan is us sincere a silver
man to-day as he was four years ago
n better silver man than many of his
party. But he himself and events are
pushing the expansion issue into para
mountcy. Besides. he can do nothing
for silver Were he elected President,
| for the Senate is unchangeable for
gold for the next six years at least.
Our agreements with the Republicans
then are greater than our dissent, and
consequently we are against Mr.. Bry
an.
Besides we have just sentiment
enough out our way to refuse to haul
down the flag, to repudiate what we
have won by the blood of our soldier
boys. We support the government
when it upholds the flag. Not only Re-
publicans, but some Populists and
Democrats are eXpansionists. On that
issue alone the West is for Mckinley.
II do not believe the Occur d'Alene
mining trouble over the border in Ida
ho will make any difference in the re-
| suit in Montana. The Democrats are
trying to make capital out of it, but
the Democratic governor, Steunenberg,
is man enough to claim the responsi-
bility and what he calls the c'edit of
suspending the habeas corpus and of
calling in the federal troops"

TRIES TO PRINCE OF WALES
Belgian Boy Shoots nj Him While Leaving
Brussels.

Brussels April 5.-An attempt to as
sassinate the Prince of Wales was
made at the railway station here yes
terday by a boy of sixteen named ST.
pido, who fired two shots into the car
riage occupied by the prince and
princess. Neither bullet took effect
The would-be assassin was promptly
arrested The prince was cool, and
said he hoped Sipido would not be Sc
verely punished.
The would-be assassin snapped his
weapon four times, but only two of
the cartridges We're discharged, the
others being defective.
Young Sipido had bOasted the pre-
vious day of his intention to kill the
prince and the station master had been
advised of this, but although he took
some precautions, it appears that he
was not sufficiently watchful and his
conduct Will be Investigated.

Prof. R. S. Woodward, of Columbia
university, in a recent paper shows
reasons for thinking that the earth's
atmosphere extends to height vary
ing with the distance from the equa-
tor. At the equator he estimates the
height to be $4,000 miles, which dimin-
tshes to only 1900 miles at the poles.
But of course, beyond few hundred
miles above the ground, the density
of the atmosphere becomes so slight
that the effects are imperceptible.

The Chinese strenuously object to
gambling on future prices OF articles
of consumption, such as rice, wheat
and corn. Recently six members OF a
Chinese bucket shop or board of trade
rather were summarlly taken out and
beheaded for making contracts to pay
given prices as given time without
regard to the immutable laws of supply
and demand. The Chinese are ex-
treme In their methods. but are un-
doubtedly right as to the underlying
principle.

the almighty dollar and minimized the
man. Voting and ofliceholding were
based not on moral worth, education or
brains, but on wealth. The fundamen-
tai and paramount question was not is
he honest, not is he capable, not is he
faithful to the constitution, the old
Jeffersonian tests, but: What is his
wealth? What is the size of his bank
account? How large is his income?"
OF course Democrats will never let
that bill pass so long as they can pre-
vent it, for we have been fighting for
more than a century to get rid of the
property qualification on suffrage, and
it is only within the last few years
that we accomplished it. Surely we
will not go back to it without a strug-
gle.
When that bill comes up, intend
to offer as an amendment to it my bill
to re-enfranchise the people of the Dis
trict of Columbia and to restore to
them the right of local self govern
ment, and then, If | am not unceremo-
