THE PoPutrsr party is not dead yet accord
ing to ex-senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina, who is chairman of the National
Committee Of that party. In an interview in
Washington a few days ago he said the Popu-
lists would have ticket in the field in 1904,
independent of any other party, and added:
I'VE will poll more votes for Populists candi-
dates than we did when weput up Weaver and
got over 100000 votes for him. Since then
we have twice fused with the Democratic
party, and given them our votes. In all that
time the Democratic party has taught its
voters to despise Clevelandsm, and its teachings
ings will remembered. The result will be that
in 1904 we will not only get all the votes we got
for Weaver, but We will get a large part of the
Democratic vote also, as / have no doubt that
by that time the Democratic party will be in
the hands of the Cleveland Democrats, and
will be endeavoring-to foster. Cleveandism on
it. / cannot undertake to say what vote we
will then poll, but it will be large one. and
the largest we have ever had.'

WEHEARTILY endorse the following from the
Atlanta (Ga.) Journal There are some kinds
of liberty in this country that should be re-
strained One of them is the liberty of dis
figuring and Decorating the landscape with all
sorts of advertisements, especially the features
of scenery that are most attractive and, there
fore, most valuable for advertising purposes.
Some of the states have enacted stringent laws
against this barbarous practice, but in most of
them, Georgia included, it runs riot yet, and
the demand for its suppression should be heed
ed by the Legislature. The Prussian Land
tag at its last session passed law against of.
fensive advertising in the country, which is
decidedly sweeping in its provisions, but prob
ably not too much so. Itregards the mere dis
figuring of natural scenery as sufficient ground
for action against the offender" THE UNION
has before called attention to this matter and
urged the Legislature to take some action to
restrict this Disagreement Of the landscape by
hideous paintings upon dead walls, fences, out
buildings, etc. Some foreign countries are far
ahead of us in this particular.

Among the topics which move round with the
rolling year and come on top ar about this date
is the duty OF registration In common with its
esteemed contemporaries. The Tribune invari-
ably gives il due attention. not. as some light
Tipped purveyors of alleged humor in the comic
papers would have il appear. because it Is

readily lends itself 10 the enunciation Of axio-

the subject of registration are not like spring

which deprived siam Of one-third Of her terri
tory In addition too, France required that a
strip Of land twenty kilometres wide on the
west side OF the Mekong should be neutralzed
and evacuated by Siam. thus shutting Siam en-
tirely away from that river. and pending such
evacuation France seized and held the impOr-
tant Slamese port Of Chantaboon. Siamese
evacuation Of that strip naturally transformed
II into a sort of No Mans Land, the resort of
outlaws and the scene of anarchy, whereupon
France continued TO hold Chantaboon As
hostage for the maintenance of order in that
strip. though Siam was inhibited from exercis-
ing authority over it.
