TERMS OF PEACE.
POpulists Make Overtures to
Democrats and Go Home.

The Peoples party state central COM
mittee wound up its important and
mysterious meeting here last night by
preparing and sending to the Demo
cratic party proposition for a new and
consolidated party. to take the place
of both the old ones The action recog-
nizes the full strength of the anti-fusion
law and the confusion that has been
brought about by the Republicans ex-
terminating legislation.
In the letter that was prepared and
sent to J. Mack Love, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, the Pop
ulists hang on to one of their favorite
methods. They do not propose to be
turned down by the leaders of the Dem
ocratic party, despite the adverse criti-
cism that has at once arisen. They
cling to the referendum. It is proposed
that it be left to the rank and file to
decide whether there shall be a merg-
ing of the two parties outright instead
of the loose fusion that has been main
tanned in the past merely for the sake
of winning and getting the offices. In
substance the argument submitted is
that many Democrats would not con-
sent to the plan that would take them
into the Populist party, and many Pop
into the Democratic party, and that the
only way to beat the Republicans is to
let go of both old parties and form a
new one.
The Populists haven't got over the
row that arose between their state com
mittee and the Democratic state com
mittee last fall, when Mack Love moved
the headquarters to Kansas City. To
get together again it must be done
G Ia how 1rnI~ Of
To avoid more rows between the lead
ers, they ask that their proposition be
submitted to the Dem ocratic voters of
the state the next time that party holds
primaries. The Populists will submit
the proposition to their voters at their
own primaries.
Although going into the new party
scheme with the determination to take
their own principles along and dorni
nate it. there was opposition to the
scheme in the committee. The vote was
six to four.
Frank Chase of Hoyt. Ed Trey of
Lyndon, p. p Elder of Ottawa and
Grant Harrington insisted that the plan
was not feasible but they were out
voted, six committeeman supporting it

Columbus and His Salary.

In the building known as the 'LOnja" at Seville, Spain, are preserved thu archives of the Indies-the early Span ish colonies in America-from the time of their discovery until few years ago, writes William E. Curtis in the Chi cago Record Herald. There is a mass of papers, books and correspondence which would fill train of cars and it is piled away upon the shelves without much order or system. A few indOlent clerks are engaged ill overhauling. ar ranging and indexing the papers and the Society of the Americanistes haO been granted permission to publish any that have an important bearing upon history. Every little while some inter
 esting paper is discovered, copied ano published in the reports of that society.
 The latest discovery is the account of the payment of the crews of the caravels of Columbus upon his first voyage The Minister of Finance in his report shows that there were S2 men under pay. Columbus himself, with the title of admiral, received a salary or S320 a year. The captains of the three ships received respectively SIG, SIS ana S19 month The sailors received from $2 to $40 month, including their sub sistence and two suits of clothes year.

Can Choose Our Enemies.

An open enemy is better than a gos- siping friend. The story is told of a man in public life in Washington who once found himself surrounded by a host of self-appointed counselors, Con- tinually advising him, "as friends" of many astounding things, which a val ued and lifelong intimate, also in pub lie life, was alleged to be doing against him, says the Boston Globe. Bitter ness beset the heart of the man when he heard that his friend had turned against him and he grieved.
 Strangely enough, the friend was also grieving, for he had received tales which filled his heart with doubt of the loyalty of his lifelong friend ''The dog that will fetch will carry" says the old proverb; and the friends who had told tales to one of these men told the same sort to the other. They were politicians, placeseekers, hangers-on, who for their own ends employed gOs- sip, and malicious gossip at that, to keep apart these two men.
 But the plan did not work. The two men met, charged each other with cool ness and finally learned that they had been the victims of tale-bearers. Then one of them said, we can choose our enemies, but not our friends" and in saying 1t he enunciated truth.
