Read Between The Lines.

The HERALD of this city copies
without comment, last week, the
column appeal of Chairman Riddle, to
the populist party to join the demo
cratic party in Kansas, thus making it
his own request to the populists of the
county. The facts are that Mr.. Tad
lock is democrat, has always been
democrat, will always be a democrat,
world without end, amen. He has
been masquerading as a populist for
the last ten years 'for revenue only. "
He succeeded in convincing the pops
that he was sincere when his voice
rang out clear and strong in that IA
miliar old hymn ''Good bye, old parties,
good bye," and they put him at the
head of the schools of the county for
four years. He has been half owner
of the HERALD for the last eight
years and has had the county printing
from his party half of that time, and
is now full owner of the party organ
of the county, and when the fruit is
all gathered and there is no further
possibility for the pops to secure any
more offices, Mr.. Tadlock advises the
populiStS, who are four times as strong
in Kansas as the democrats, to forsake
their party and go over ''body and
breeches" into the democratic party.
Now if that isn't gratitude we should
like to have somebody name it. The
very natural inquiry will be "Why
does he do it," and the answer is just
as plain. He was born a democrat,
raised democrat, is democrat and
will always be democrat, and as we
have often predicted, just as soon as
the wool is sheared off the populist
sheep he will return to the party of
his childhood and laugh at the mem
bers of the party that has been so easy
for him to work Dispatch.
We reproduce the above editorial
from the little post masters paper
of last week with the view of giving
our subscribers an opportunity of
reading between the lines. No better
estimate of the motives and the char
acter of our diminutive friend could
be obtained, than may be had from
the above effusion. Bear in mind that
Royce was born and raised a democrat;
that he hates the editor of this paper
because we have exposed many of his
steals; and that he had to tell lie to
get an excuse to write the above arti-
Gle for the HERALD did not at any
time reprint any article of Taylor
Riddles. Now read between the lines
of Mr.. Royce's article and take his
measure.

Who Had Long Given Trouble.

Tacoma, Wash, June 10.-Oriental
mail contains news that another mas
sacre of native Christians occurred
in the province of Kwoi Chow. The
boxer element about I<woi Yang Foo,
capital of that province, have long
held that native Christians were re-
sponsible for the infx of foreigners
into China, holding that hated for
eigners would not stay if some of
the natives did not embrace their
teachings and encourage them to re-
main. A recent robbery at Kwoi
Yang Foo was laid at the door of ma
tive Christ. ans, with the object of
rousing popular indignation against
them. The scheme worked so well
that an uprising took place and SO
native converts were killed.
The French army at Tonlin has
captured Dethan, a bandit chieftain,
who has led the rebellion against
French rule in Tonkin since 1888.
Detham has caused the French as
much trouble there as Aguinaldo had
the Americans in the Philippines.
Detham followed Aguinaldo's plan of
making an official submission, and will
not be executed.
A bloody battle took place May 7
between Fung and Cheung clans living
at Shelzchung, near Canton. For
three days the clansmen fought with
guns and spears, killing as many of
the opposing clan as they could find
unprotected. The struggle was at
its height when regiment of soldiers
from Canton arrived and established
peace.

The supreme court decision on the
Porto Rican tariff law is like the old
Methodist pun on Calvanism:
'You can, and you can't;
You will, and you won't;
You will be damned if you do,
You will be damned if you don't. y
The press report says the court was
divided. 1t does look like it. And
what is more, everybody else is dfvi-

means. 1t deserves to rank with the

ganized capital. The eastern wing of
democracy follows in the same wake.
Populism and western democracy
stand for the producer and laborer.
The time will soon come when western
democrats must either follow the Hills
