ago that gentleman addressed Col. Bry-
an letter suggesting that he might
command the almost unanimous Ger
man vote throughout the United States
at the next congressional election IL he
would only drop the silver issue and
confine himself to anti-expanscion and
the trusts; but Mr.. Ottendorfer warned
him that the readoption of the Chica-
go platform would deprive him of the
SUPPORT of that class.
Mr.. Bryan has written a friend in
Washington to explain that. while he
has the highest respect for Mr.. Often
dorfer, in order to follow the advice of
that gentleman it would be necessary
to repudiate his most sacred obligation
to the people, and he would rather suf-
fer defeat than betray them in that
very particular. Col. Bryan argues
that the enactment of the gold-stand-
ard currency law last month does not
alter the eternal principles of the Dem
ocratic party nor permit it to depart
from it's plain duty. The people de-
mand cheap, silver money, and he will
continue to proclaim their demands
from the housetop no matter what leg
isldtion the Republican party may
enact in opposition to their wishes.
1t may be true, as asserted, that the
political composition of the United
States senate will prevent any legis-
lation in the direction of free coinage
for six years, but, IL the Democratic
party does its duty on the stump and
at the polls, this Republican majority
will be reduced year by year and fin
ally tut legislation referred to may be
repealed. 1T is not possible for the
Democrats to promote the free coinage
OF silver by the abandonment of the
Chicago platform" Mr.. Bryan says,
and therefore l.. will continue to stand
by 1t.

BUTLER is PLAYING DOUBLE.

lgnatius Donnelly in the Representa-
tive: The position of Marion Butt er
is, at the present tin }, most extraor
binary. He is laboring to turn over
the Peoples party of this country to
the Democrats; at the same time, in
his home paper, the Caucasian, he is
denouncing the Democratic party in
the strongest terms, and is forming a
combination with the Republicans Of
North Carolina to return him to the
United States Senate. 1t was by the
Republican vote that he was first
elected to the Senate.
He is carrying water on both should
ers and is ready to sell out all parties
for his personal profit. We quote the
following from an lakewood, N. Y, cor
respondent, in the last issue of the
Missouri World. According to this
statement Butler avows his hostility
to Bryan at the very time that he is
trying to deliver the corpse of the Peo-
Plies party to him:
Marion Butler, in defining his posi-
ton soon after the election of 1899,
said:
1.-THE announcement now comes that
Mr.. Bryan declares he will continue to
URHI lut Ddllit VI IClol III. ~ 10 well,
perhaps, that he will do so. He is an
able leader and it may be none can be
found to equal him. But great events
can be evolved within the next four
years, and speaking now for the Peo-
pies party of North Carolina, and we
believe for the nation, we take the '!h-
erty of serving notice on Mr.. Bryan
that if he desires to head the reform
forces of the Peoples party in the next
fight he must do so under some other
name than that of Democrat. That
name has become reproach and q
stencil among the people, and 1t will
not be supported any more now or
hereafter.
Democrats had charge ofthe govern
ment for nearly four years, and they
played the people false-grossly and
b.utally false. In the campaign just
closed the Peoples party joined their
forces with the Democrats and the
Democrats again played the people
faise-grossly and brutally false. We
are done with them now and forever,
and also with any man who seeks 10
lead the people hereafter under any
thing that may bear the name or have
the smirch of the word Democrat On
it."
If any PopuIist can read the above
and then glance over the proceedings
of the Lincoln, Neb., conference, and
then hesitate as to his action in the
future. as to the fusion or middle Of
the-road movement his case is certain
~ hopeless. The song of The siren has
muddled his brain and he IS simply

VOICE FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD

It begins to look very much like the
PEOPLES party national convention, to
be held in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May ,,
would mark an epoch in American his
tory. At this writing it gives promise
of being one of the biggest conventions
ever held In the United States. Every
state and territory in the union will
send delegates to the convention and
il will attract more attention than any
national convention held this year. Ii
the work of the convention results in
uniting the reform forces of the coun-
try and we believe 1t will, the Old
mossback party candidates Will real
ize that they are in closely contested
race that it will take a canvass OF the
votes to decide who is winner.--Peo-

Democrat, protests anew against the
Nebraska leader and the Nebraska
nlatform It issues call, which there
10 nobody to answer, for the most
profound wisdom and craftsmanship of
the marty and 1t asserts that there is
no opening for a party OF one man or
one idea" Now Col. Bryan Is by no
means a man of one idea. He is for all
the ideas of the Chicago platform and
for a number of others, such as anti
trusts. anti militarism and antrim
nerialism He is an enthusiastic col
iector of issues and it is unjust to call
him a man of one idea.
Col Bryan must represent the opin-

appeal to the most profound wisdom
and craftsmanship of the Democracy

PETTIGREw A FALSE PROPHET.

(From an editorial in the Chamber
lain, S. d., Register:)
Howard Democrat: The Republican
Chamberlain Register says Mr.. Petit
grew will have much to explain this
fall, especially in regard to the price
of wheat and oats" Well, what a
frost! What is the price of wheat in
Chamberlain, pray?
Yes, we reiterate that Mr. Pettigref
will have much to explain this fall, and
oats. In 1895, the gentleman predict,
ed that the farmers of this state would
receive only 20 cents a bushel for
wheat If free silver failed to carry. He
made that statement al over the state.
OF course Mr.. Pettigrew's statement re-
ferred to the average price of wheat in
the state and on that basis the farmers
of Brule county should now be receiv-
ing about loo or 12c bushel for their
1899 crop. Instead of such being the
case, they have received from 45c to
55c per bushel at this point for their
last years crop, and that in 200-cent
dollars as Mr. Pettigrew termed them
A comparison of prices paid at this
place for wheat in 1896 while Mr.. Pet
tigrew was making his dire predic Ions,
with the prices prevailing up to and
including May 1898, will show how
much foundation there was for Mr.. Pet
tigrew's 20-cent wheat prophecy.
The highest price paid for wheat
here in 1896 beginning August /, was
as follows: August soc; September Csc;
October 41c; November CATER election)
Gle; December Soc.
For 1897 the highest prices were:
January Coo; February SAC; March soc
April soc; May soc; June SIC; July SOC
August 65c; September &c; October
Tic; November zoe; December zoe.
If the Democrat will take the pains
to compare these figures it may be
able to see that Mr. Pettigrew's pro-
phetic vision was certainly somewhat
obscure on the 20-cent wheat deal.

SENATOR BATE ARRAIGNs BRYAN

SENATOR BATE ARRAlGNS BRIAN
The most scathing arraignment OF
uIlliam j. Bryan Is embodied In the
,neech of Senator Bate OF Tennessee
- the Porto Rican bill. The senator
sanounces the acquisition of Spanish
,srritory under the treaty OF Paris,
sgainst which he had voted and for
which Bryan labored so successfully
nth Senator Allen and other Bryan
40 senators. Senators Bate declares
hat not a page or paragraph In our
arevious history sustains the rightful-
psss of purchasing 100000 people in
one batch like cattle in box cars.

This is strong language, but If the
treaty of Paris is really a departure
from all American tradition, Senator

A PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT.

On the occasion OF IareWell pan
quet given by the citizens OF Memphis
to Gen. Luke 4. Wright, of the Philip
pine commission, on the night of April
End, one OF the happiest addresses of
the evening was that of Dan Jones, the
Democratic Governor of Arkansas. He
Joined issue boldly with that element
of his party which denounces expan-
sion ''as imperialism and such like
nonsense" tending to place the issue
in the category of partisan politics.
Gov. Jones said in part:
THE subject of the open door is an
exceedingly interesting one to the Am
be disposed of as easily as the old
negro preacher in Arkansas disposed
of the open door in Noah ark. After
informing his colored brethren how
Noah built the ark, and how the ami
mails came in, two by two, the ele-
plant and the kangaroo, one of his
auditors wanted to know how such a
heterogeneous mass could be kept to-
gether in one boat Why said the
preacher, OATS easy 'nough; Noah just
locked the door and flung de key in
the food, and dem animals were dar
and couldn't get out So, whether
we would have it that way or not, if
II were any longer an open question, |
am OF the opinion that we are in about
tie same predicament as those ami
mails, but times have so changed since
Noah's day that our remedy lies in
keeping the door wide open, and in due
season the present heterogeneous mass
will annroanb bpp,o0apoitv on clncaly
that people at distance will never be
able to see the difference between US.
am led to this conclusion by reason
OF the results of the Louisiana pur-
chase.
We outgrew our country and its de-
mands and Europe and its demands,
and we must have other markets for
our surplus or cease producing it. In
this emergency came the Spanish war
and its results. What are its results?
IL has demonstrated the imperative
and pressing necessity for the con-
struction and ownership by the United
states Of the Nicaraguan Canal. With

II our nation shall protect the Fill

The following from Ed. Wilson's
timely talk in the New Orleans Plea
yune is a gentle reminder that the poll
tax delinquent is not a very good citi-
zen. He says:
THE man who does not pay his poll tax on
or before the first day of February next, I'M
der the Seawright bill. will have his name
published in his county paper as a delin-
quent, as a man who refuses to contribute -
to the education of his children, but is will
ling for his neighbor to do so. and let them
reap an education by the sweat Of the other
fellows face. Moreover, he will be disfran-
| chised. and cannot vote at the polls, and
will run "a risk of a sG0 fine aud six months
In Jail IL he hereafter attempts to vote in q
primary, for the taxpayers are tired OF hav'
ing their votes killed by such political drift
wood. and the judges of the state may be
expected to charge the grand juries, who art
composed OF taxpayers, to indict such per
sons, and the district attorneys, who In tn
future must look to the taxpayers for cleo
tion, will not fail to do their part Of the bins
mess up to the hilt."

A FINE SHOWING.
The Ofacial Figures For Towns In missis'
sippi with a Population of Over 1000.

Az we noted some days ago, when
the census Of Mississippi by counties
was published, that State has made
greater progress than was generally
supposed. II has not boosted much or
this score, but its advance in popula-
tiou for the past decade lac been well
above that OF the rest OF the South,
and in those sections of the State most
developed, OF late the advance has been
far more rapid. This fact Is further
demonstrated by a comparison oil the
population Of the leading towns. Mis-
sissippi, 1t is true. has no large towns
OF over 2 5000 population, due to the
fact that it is mainly an agricultural
State, but it has three of over lO,OOC
population-vicksburg, Meridian and
Natchez-four between 5000 and 10000
and twenty.three between 1000 and
5000. The population of these towns
in 1900, as compared with 1890, is al
follows:
