PASSING OF THE PoPULIsT.

The fact that the Fifty-eighth con-
gress will not contain a single populist
is significant. 1t shows that the erst-
while populistic element is returning
to the old parties, and one must think
there is justification for the belief that
majority of those of the South who
formerly voted thePopulist ticket have
again taken up the safe and reliable
principles of democracy.
The only popuIist at present in the
senate is Harris of Kansas, and his re
tirement after the 3rd of next March is
certain Senator Teller of Colorado
now appears in the congressional di-
rectory as a silver republican, " what
ever that may be, but during the whole
of the first session of the present con-
gress he acted with the democrats, and
if he is returned by the Colorado legis-
Iature this winter it will be as a demo
crat.
In the house John F, Shafroth, re-
preventative from the First Colorado
district, has acted with the democrats
on all questions in which National
issues We're involved. He is a classii-
ed as "silverites" in the congressional
directory, but he was reelected as
democrat. All fusion and populist
candidates in Nebraska were defeated.
The end of the forthcoming short
session then, will mark the passing Of
the populist in the house. The fact
that fusion between the populists and
democrats in Nebraska and other
Western States has often been in evi-
dence in the past indicates that the
populists more nearly agreed with the
democrats than with the republicans,
in view of which fact it is entirely |
reasonable to expect to find in the
ranks of the democratic party the lar
ger portion of the former populistic
element.
The fact that fusion was never Who'll
ly successful in the West does not
signify that the republi-
cans will continue to prevail against
the democrats.
1t might seem that since the demo
Gratis and the populists together could |
not defeat the republicans in the past |
the democrats could not do so now,
even though all the former populists
had come into the democratic fold.
But it must be remembered that con-
ditions are different now and that
solid, harmonious democracy is in a
position to do much more effective
work than could the unharmonious
elements brought together by the
fusion process. There was always
discord among the fusionists. There
need be nothing of the kind among the
democrats, who have now been joined |
by the former populists, not as popu-
lists, but as democrats.
The political student is inclined to
believe that the passing of the popu-
list may be regarded as favorable to
democracy in every way. 1t is simply
another evidence that the democracy
is being gradually strengthened.
1t looks as if the roar of cannon

Charleston. Dec. s.-The State
Printing Commission hes at last com
pleted their work. and Saturday after
noon the contracts for the printing and
binding were awarded, the stationary
contract having been awarded. The
reason for the seeming delay in award
ing these contracts is that every state
ment made bv a bidder in his bid must
be gone over and verified. As there
were quite a number of bids. and, all
being lengthy, it required several days
before a CONCLUSION was reached. The
contract for furni hing stationery was

Assistant CORPORATION Counsel, of

ceived an interesting letter from his
brother Julian. who is in the regular
army and stationed in the Philippines.
Mr.. Baker said:
MY brother recently left Manila
for a couple of weeks, and went into
the interior on a prospecting expedi-
tion. He soon fell in with an old dato
or chief, with whom Fhe had formed
a previous acquaintance. The dato
received myssbrother most Hospitality,
and did all in his power to entertain
the guest. After a dav or two the
dato said that some of his subject

''Then there was more pow-wow in

Presently the pow-wow ceased.

pressive address to the crowd. When
he had finished, my brother asked him
what the speech was about.
II have just sentenced the man to
death. according to the American GUS
tom,'' replied the chief.
My brother was shocked that his
words spoken in jesthad brought down
such a heavy penalty upon tho hapless
offender. He assured the chief that he
had not spoken in earnest.and that the
offense was by no means a capital
crime in America. The dato said it
was too late, that sentence had already
been pronounced.

THOMAS 3. REED.

ton which his physicians knew meant
an early dissolution. At times Mr.
Reed spoke and seemed to be ina cheer
full frame OF mind, but it wal easily
seen that death was approaching.
Mr.. Reed reached Washington Sun
day, having come to attend to some
matters in the United States Supreme
Court. He was at the capitol Monday
visiting with friends and former as
sociates in Congress and witnessed
the converting OF the second session of
the Fifty-seventh Congress. Appar-
entity he was enjoying good health.
but latel in the day called on DR.. f.
A. Gardner and complained of gastric
distress.
The following day his physician
compelled him to remain in bed while
antagonists was made of his condition.
symptoms of appendicitis appeared,
though his condition was not consider
ed as alarming.
Mrs. Reed and daughter. Miss Kit
ii arrived Wednesday and remained
with Mr.. Reed at the Arlington Hotel
since.
Thomas b. Reed was born on Octo-
Der IS. 1889, in Portland, Maine. His
father was a sailor, but abandoned
that calling to become a Waterman at
a sugar factory. As q boy Reed gave
small promise of future greatness. He
was more indolent than his fellows,
and home and school duties were irk-
some. Not until he had joined church
did he manifest any ambition to bet
ter his lot. With money raised by the
women of the church, Reed entered
Bowdoin College to study for the min
istry. He decided. however, TO take
another course. and later paid back
the money which made possible bis
entrance into college. He studied law
aud soon came into local prominence.
He was elected attorney general OF
Maine and in 1876 entered Congress.
AS speaker of the House and framer
of the Gear Reed rules governing
that body, he attained worldwide
fame.
