After Ten Years.

After ten years the populist party i'll
the State and nation has been swal-1
lowed up by the democracy. Just
little less than ten years ago at Ocala,
Fla, the farmers alliance was institut-
ed. At first the membership could in
clude only farmers or farm laborers,
mechanics, country preachers, country
teachers, country doctors, and editors
OF strictly agricultural papers. They
demanded abolition of national banks,
establis hment OF sub-lreasurles where
money was to be loaned by the govern.
ment at per cent on farm products,
ETC.; he increase Of the per capita to
not less than $50; no trading i'll 'fu-
lures" and penalties for such trading;
free and unlimited coinage OF silver;
no allen ownership of means of COM
munication and transportation, and
the popular election of United States
senators.
AT that time the alliance was COM
posed OF a few farmers, labor agitators
and some lawyers. The leaders saw
that the only salvation of the nation
was by organizing a new political par
ty. At Omaha, July 4th, '92 they in
stituted that party. The same year it
I got over million votes. That was a
good start, but today the popullst par
ty lies so low that none remain to do
it reverence.
AS national institution it forestall-
ed the action of the democratic party
by nominating the democratic candi-
date for president 1t nominated
Towne for vice president under the
hope that the democrats might also
name him, and with an understanding
that if the latter didn't happen Towne
would withdraw. This has been CARR
ed out, and the populist vote is to go
for the candidates of the democratic
party both in state and nation.
In our own state the populists were
threshed off the earth by the demo-
Gratis in the union convention of the
fuioEists. Fully two thirds of the
nominees of the democrats are demo-
Gratis. The democrats took the party
name. They took the governor by re-
nominating Rogers, who announced
his stand for the democracy some six
months ago. The democrats nomina-
ted both congressman by putting up
Ronald and Robertson. They took
everything else in sight that was worth
the having.
How do the men in the late lament
ed peoples party who used to be sim
|cere republicans and who joined the
peoples, party with high and lofty
purposes like the way in which their
organization has been loaded at last
into the democratic band wagon? The
whole plan of campaign covered but
ten years of time and was Instituted
and carried out In such a coarse way
that any man ought to be able to see
that it was put up job from start to
finish to wean away a lot of republic
can strength from the grand old party
and finally herd it into the democratic
lcamp.
This being the case is it any wonder
that thousands of populists are coming
back this fall? They refuse to be de-
| livered by the crafty politicians and
will line up for Mckinley and Roose-
yelt.-Bee- Nugget.

Sears avenue has a spite fence that
is al spite fence, and one that is put
up to stay. being constructed of heavy
timber, well nailed and with good,
heavy iron rods to keep IL from being
blown or knocked down. 1t completely
shuts off the view of one house. and
the matter is said to be in the hands
OF lawyers. The disturbed party
swears that the fence will come down,
and the owner is just as positive that
ii will not. The fence is the subject Of
much comment. and the neighbors are
somewhat divided as to the idea of
having so conspicuous an object in the
vicinity. The fence is about 80 feet in
height and about so feet long, and an
swers the purpose for which ii was
built to a dot.
Two young men were taken into Gus
tody at the Chaffee street station for
having what the police supposed a

they satisfied the police that they were
the rightful owners of the hose, so
they were discharged. This As the re-
suit OF a horse trade. and rht young
men appeared to be done up" by a
horse trader OF Ashland, but the young
men called upon the Ashland man yes
terday afternoon and took possession Of
the horse. The Ashland man said some
thing about a writ Of repleyin. but
the young men were not armed with
any such document, and L is quite like
ly that they will be prosecuted by the
Ashland man for their actions.

FIRE AT AUBURN.
Blacksmith Shop and Barn Destroyed
Early Today.
People Of the Place Crlilclse Fire Company
for Alleged Hardness.

A fire broke out this morning about
3 O'Clock in the blacksmith shop owned
by Mr.. Baton. situated on Elmwood
avenue. just south OF Park avenue, Au-
burn. The news of the fire spread rap
idly. and quite crowd gathered 10
watch the progress OF the flames. The
fire company was called and got TO the
scene In time TO see the last timbers
fall into the cellar. The shop and a
small barn adjoining IL were entirely
destroyed. and other buildings would
have gone the same way had the wind
been blowing or had they been sit
uated in closer proximity 10 the fire.
The blacksmith shop was INSURED for
$500. but IL cannot be ascertained
whether or not there was any insur-
ance on the barn. Much criticism is
passed by the people on the manner
in which the fire company responded
for had the fire occurred i'm any other
part OF Auburn, where the buildings
are more numerous. several must have
been destroyed before the company
could get 10 the blaze

The secretary. Miss Annie Grout,
called special attention TO the public
sentiment In favor OF bird protection.
she alluded very briefly TO the manner
in which public interest has been
aroused and Is growing. not only in
our own state, but in others as well.
She devoted much time to a description
Of the literature as also the amount
that was distributed during the year.
She said that Commissioner OF Public
Schools Stockwell would devote a great
part of the exercises on AIDOr Day 10
the subject Birds" In conclusion she

Prof III. G. Bumpus Of Brown Uni
versity was the speaker OF the day. His
discussion was confined TO the charac-
teristics of aR egg. He gave illustra-
tions OF many different specimens Of
the egg now i'm existence, and gave the
reasons for the different sizes. He de-
voted considerable, time 20 explaining
the reason for the size OF the nucleus
and also the food matter contained in
the egg.
He spoke about the size OF the egg
of a common fowl and showed how
the chick originated, and developed. He
explained very thoroughly how the bird
breathed through the blood vessels for
the greater part OF the time and how
the flesh lis placed on birds OF TIE air.
He told how all other organs were at
rest while the energy was expended n
flying. In conclusion he spoke about
the diseases TO which the bird family
Is subject and why mankind did not
have the same troubles,
An earnest call for new members was
