About That Quest on.

We have of late been frequently ap-
preached by individuals whose curio-
silly alone, was, presumably the cause
OF their inquisitiveneSS, and who have
questioned us closely as to whether
we were editing a Democratic sheet
The only reason We can assign for so
ldiouc question is that these indivi-
duals are so fond of asking questions
that they ask them when they could
just as well satisfy their yearning for
information by consulting the columns
of the Tribune. 1t is now more than
two years since the Tribune stated
positively and without equivocation
that it supported the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Republican party in the
United States and would assist in the
PRONUNCIATION of these principles as
soon as Congress should have given the
Is ands political status in the Union
We admit that all the cap RS in our
type cases have not been hard worked
during the past week; perhaps one
reason is that we haven't brought forth
a daily wherein to work them: neither
have all the letters that go to the COM
position of the name McStocker become
weary through oyer-much toll. Pos
sibly in this issue they will not fare
so easily.-Tribune.

HERALD A DAILY;
TRIBUNE is SORE
journalistic Amenities of the Two
Newspapers Makes Much
Typesettlng.

The Hawaii Herald is now publish
ing a daily edition The Hilo Tribune
is still only a weekly. The Tribune
calls the Daily Herald an organ of F.
B. McStOcker, and the Herald says its
daily is the suggestion of prominent
business men and will appear as long
as it is patronized. Says the Herald,
lin the words of the poet-'now is the
time to- subscribe. All Hawaii is in
terested by the merry war between the
Hilo papers, now being waged with
great splitting of ink. The following
from the editorial columns of both pa
pers show that each thinks itself on
the higher kopje:
A number of business men in Hilo
are of the opinion that the town is
ready for daily paper; many who buy
the Herald on Thursday are of the
same opinion. The management of the
Herald is inclined to disagree with
them, but as an evidence of good faith
the Herald will be issued every after
noon except Sunday until the public is
inclined to agree with the management.
The facilities for a news service at
present are not the best; the expense
attending the issuing of a daily paper
is greater than that of a weekly, and
these two important factors in the life
of a newspaper should be taken into
consideration. With the introduction
of the Marconi system of wireless tele-
graphy on Hawaii the news service
will be improved. Those in Hilo and
elsewhere who wish to see the Herald
a daily have an opportunity to lend
substantial aid by patronizing it. In
the words of the poet-"now is the

then kicked because this had been done,
and kicked so hard that at Chicago, the
convention declared for free coinage Of
silver at 16 to / and persuaded some
Populists to believe them. Got control
of the Populist machine and worked up
a fusion; then kicked because they
kicked up war with Spain, and now
kick because we whipped her.
Now comes the worst kick of all.
They kicked at the Chicago platform
because it favored legal tender silver,
kicked Mckinley into the presidential
chair and at the Kansas City convention
kicked the legal tender silver entirely
out of the platform to keep company
with the income tax plank. so Hill and
Croker would support the ticket. and
now proclaims the free coinage of sill
yer without the legal tender. and thus
restores the Cleveland Democracy with
its endless chain; so as to make more
imperialists by usurping the power OF
congress to borrow money under the
subterfuge of keeping up the party"
1t kicks against trusts because they do
not brand themselves and advocate the
repeal of all antitrust laws by licensing
trusts. They kick against the Philip
pines being held as spoils Of war, and
proceed to say the constitution follows
the flag.
It is not time to brand this worn out
party with the new word "Skeoughs?"
We know where the Republicans
stand, and when anyone votes it he has
no cause to complain because they favor
plutocratic measures.
The Peoples party favors progress of
the plain people, have no fear Of doing
anyone an injury by using United States
money on account of government, ma
tional and state highways, tax on in
comes and laws adopted by a vote OF
the people. It is all wool and yard
wide. Democracy is shoddy body

worn.-John M. Voris in Atkeson's Free

TAKE THEIR MEDICINE.

The Butler fusion Populist committee
met in Chicago Monday, Aug. 27, and
decided not to put up vice-presidential
candidate against Stevenson.
They decided to take their medicine
straight and this decision completes
the ABSORPTION Of fusion Populists by
the Democrats.
Fusion Populists have now surren-
dered completely to the Democrats both
their principles and their candidates.
Fusion Populists once believed and
advocated the income tax, direct legis-
lation without any IFS or butts or option
on the part of legislative representa-
tives. They believed in public owner
ship of railroads, telegraphs, telephones
and other public utilities. They de-
manded scientific, full legal tender gov
ernment paper money and now they
have surrendered every one of these
principles and will vote for Grover
Cleveland's old partner and the candi-
dates of Tammany. How the mighty
have fallen!
Not one of these pet reforms finds a
place in the Kansas City platform. The
Kansas City platform was drawn by a
committee with majority of four
against 16 to l, and Organism as they
called these political reforms. Bryan's
stubbornness alone saved the free sill
yer plank in the platform and this only
at the sacrifice of the vice-presidency
and all the above mentioned reforms.
What Populist can continue to respect
himself and feel that he still has some
manhood left and vote for Stevenson
and the Tammany platform?
If fusion Populists want this kind of
a dose we suppose it is the kind of a
dose they want. E. A. T.

Abolish Interest.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 27.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
In answer to an article favoring in
terest by Herbert F. M. Dodge, in one
of your late papers, 1t Is self-evident
that the writer has no more knowledge
of social and political economy than an
alligator of justice. In speaking of his
savings by hard work of 16 hours daily,
he emphasizes the using of his savings
to benefit himself by enslaving his fell
low laborers for his own personal ends.
Anyone advocating the justice Of inter-
est does so from the point of view of an
old party plutOcrat, in whose ranks Mr..
Dodge evidently belongs. All men ad-
vocating the abolition of interest have
advanced to higher plane than present
conditions. A man borrowing $100, who
earns by labor but st per day, under
contract to pay 10 per cent, is the abso-
lutte slave for 10 days of the loaner to
provide for that interest. And the man
who had the $100 to loan would reap no
interest on 1t without the application Of
labor. Money by itself canot earn any,
thing. Present conditions make it nee
essary for the wage slave to borrow the
money. If the laborer received the full
products of his labor, there would be no
necessity for borrowing, nor would Mr..
Dodge have been compelled to work 16
long hours day in order to accumu-
late pittance with which to exploit
someone else. Respectfully,

Passes It's Dividend.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-One more of
the recently organized industrials has
found it impossible to crafty the ex-
pectations of it's friends in the line of
dividend declarations. General Samuel
Thomas, president of the United States
Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company,
has announced that the directors "in
their wisdom had decided to pass the
next dividend in the preferred stock.
The United States Cast Iron Pipe and
Foundry company, which absorbed con-
Germs with cast iron pipe works in Ohio,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and New York, was
incorporated in New Jersey, in March Of
last year. It has issued $12,50O, 900 of
per cent noncumulative preferred stock,
and a like amount of common stock,
SIS, 200, 900 of each class being authoriz-
ed. Dividends have never been paid on
the common stock, but on Dec. 1, 1899,
the company began regular payments
on the preferred by declaring divid-
end of 1A per cent. When the next
period came round in March and June
of this year, the same dividend was de-
clared in each instance, so that the
$12,5O0,00O Of the preferred stock has
thus far received 5A per cent, or $685.
250 in dividends.
Gen. Thomas said that the reason for
the present passing Of the dividends
was a desire to keep the earnings in
tact for working capital. It Is current
ly reported that the directors may re-
duce the capital stock materially as
the way to better conditions.

Patriots speak in every state. Let

print row the lowest price their paper
can be had for until after election.
Let every Peoples party man in every
precinct, district and township get these

THE CAUSE OF 1T.

Rev. C. Meigs, who has been a missionary
in China for many years, spoke before the
Minnesota Christian Missionary society in
st. Paul last evening He held that the
missionaries in that country were in nc
sense to blame for the present trouble. On
the contrary. he attributes the origin Of the
present problems to the commercialism of
the foreign element. The Chinese. he said.
were a practical people, and they became
aroused over the abuses and greed resulting
from foreign interests.-St. Paul Globe.
This man probably told the truth. The
spirit of commercialism is wrecking this
country and destroying China. 1t is
going forward blindly in both countries,
and the results are only too plainly ap-
where it has held sway it has produced
ruin. /. D,

APATHY AND IT'S CAUSES.

Whatever interest may be aroused later
on. 1t Is fact that apathy prevails in the
rank and file of the two great parties at
the present time. Chairman Hanna has
called attention to it and in the most serious
terms. He ascribes it solely to absolute
confidence In the reelection of President
Mckinley and believes such confidence to be
dangerous.
Many of the leading politicians of both
parties have undertaken to account for the
listlessness complained of, and their theories
are interesting. One Of them Is that the
conventions brought forth no surprises.
There was nothing to shout about The
nomination Of Mckinley was a foregone
conclusion. and so was that of Mr.. Bryan.
There was no surprises in either of the
platforms. The declarations promulgated
at Philadelphia and Kansas City were dis
counted far in advance.
Another explanation is that the weather
mas been unprOpituous and that great events
In China. the Philippines. Cuba, Porto Rico
and South Africa have claimed the atten-
tion OF the public to the exclusion Of politi-
cal affairs at home. Again, it may be true
that there is an undercurrent of dissatis-
faction with the administrations foreign
and colonial policy, which, while not
amounting to open hostility is responsible
for lack Of enthusiasm among Republi-
cans. Similar dissatisfaction with the Dem
o,aa oc1atic platform and with Mr.. Bryan's
policy may account for the apathy on that
side In the South and on the Pacific coast
there are many Democrats who. while stand
Ing by their colors, are plainly opposed to
MI Bryan's anti expansion policy. and in
the East there is another element that is
anxious to see the party divorced from its
free silver idea
There is apathy in both camps, and many
are the explanations. It is highly displeas-
ing to the managers because it means
danger. Tons Of literature" have been
sent out and the organs have roared vali-
antly, but the lassitude continues. Perhaps
there will be change after the spellbinders
get to work next month.-The Minnea polis
Times (Rep).
This Is pregnant confession to come
from a straight party organ. He tells
the truth. There is no enthusiasm in
the rank and file of either old party.
General Apathy is in supreme COM
mand Of both the contending parties.
