SEES AN END OF POPULISM.
Editor Atkeson Might Soliloquize on
This Editors Action.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 4.-W.P Har.
rington's Cove County Advocate is
one OF the leading populist papers in
Kansas. Its leading editorial to.
day has caused a political sensation,
but it correctly expresses a sentiment
prevailing in the populist ranks
throughout the state, but which no
other populist has has had the cour-
age to express, 1t says:
"The Advocate is for sale to any
one who will take it and run it as q
democratic paper This cannot do
myself with very good grace, and |
am ready to quit and leave the field
to some one else,
| take this action because | can see
no future for populist paper, Dur
ing a recent trip to the eastern part
OF the state ! had an opportunity to
size up the situation. An over the
state the populists are abandoning
their organization and goinginto the
democraticparty,
Next year the state ticket will be
made mp of former populists or men
acceptable to populists, but it will
bear the democratic name. There
will he no populist state ticket, or il
one is made it will be II boilers tick
ct, and will cut no figure in the elec-
ton. A populist paper would be left
without following or influence; do
not feel capable of running any kind
OF paper but apopulist, and the only
thing for me to do is to quit when
my party quits"

Forest Fire in Missouri.

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, November p
The fiercest forest fires since 1885
are raging on the range few miles
south of this city. The woods have
been in flames for three days, and
thousands of heads of cattle and
horses are in danger. Farmers and
stockmenlhave turned out en- masse
to-day to fight the flames, but they
have made but little progress. The
fire will cause famine for feed for
cattle this winter, on account of the
drouth this summer, cutting crops
short.

Philippine Recruits.

Washington, November 1.-Lieut.
Gen. Miles has made arrangements
for sending the following troops to
the Philippines, to relieve the regi-
ments of short-term men who are to
be brought home within the next
few weeks.
Two battalions OF the 2Sth infan-
try, to sail from San Francisco on

talon of the 2Sth infantry, to sail
from San Francisco on the Warren,

Never get it into your head that
you are too good to miugfe with
common people. Nice clothes and
a four inch collar do not necessarily
make you too good to be civil to
those who wear a pair of blue over
alls and a blouse. In young men this
feeling is called "swell-head" and in
an old man aristOcracy. Whatever
it may be, it is not gentlemanliness.
No young man or old one, can be a
gentleman who treats the working
man as an inferior being. Some OF
the most intelligent men OF the age
were at one time-are ts-day-the
workingmen, men who are notafraid
to take off their coats and work at
good hard manual labor. But the
man who boasts that he never had
to work has good clothes and who
thinks he is doing the working man
a great favor by speaking to him, is
one the world could get along much
better without. The working man
could get along without the well
dressed gentleman who does not
work, but swell dressed gentlemen
could notget along without the work.

u.-D. AFFINITY WITH BOODLERS.
From a partisan standpoint, it is
gratifying to all Democrats that the
Globe Democrat should continue this
species of warfare. Nothing helps so
greatly to swell Democratic mainri-
ties as the libelous methods of his
old whisky-ring organ. There i an
affinity between this paper N, the
boodlers and sandbaggarS who are
now having ready access to t.. col.
umns. 1t would rather co o. ate
with the sandbaggers of ST. l. puis
than to uphold the hands of an ION.
est, esolute, e,clean Democratic Ma vor.
1t prefers to be on confidential rela.
tions with State boodlers and lobby
lists rather than be fair with nm hon
est Democratic State administration.
IL the decent, honest Republicans
OF Missouri will make half the effort
to send honest men to the Legisla. =.
ture that the Democrats have been
making for years, and will make IN
next years campaign, there will be
no trouble in putting both the lobby
and the sandbaggers out ofbusiness
