Striking an Average.

 When The Saturday Review accuses the United States of "driving hard bargain" with the Panama canal share holders, and the Nicaragua crowd voci- ferates that it is buying worthless property, the discrepancy compels us 10 strike an average and conclude that it is just about right.

was good man. 1 remember him when he
used to come into Colorado Springs on the
hurricane deck of a cayuse. and the boys
used to cry out: Here comes Pauper Strait
ton of Poverty Gulch!' He rode one pony
and led another which he used to carry
his supplies back to camp. He was mill
wright over in Breckenridge then.

Colonel Jewett laughingly admitted he
was not now qualified to speak as 10 the
character and intentions of the Democratic
party, having spent his more recent years
elsewhere. But during that time the Demo-
Gratis had been on very intimate terms
with the Populists and the latter doubt
less knew all about their recent bed-fel-
lows. He therefore read the following
from the platform recently adopted ar
Springfield by the Illinois Populsts:
I'VE look upon the Democratic party as
a party of bargain and sale, without
definite policy save TO gain office. Its MIS-
tory is one of fusion, broken promises in
trigue and deceit, and while the Republican
party does something and raises hell the
Democratic party raises hell and does
nothing"
Now, said the speaker, while this
language is rather warmer than 1t ought
to be. L think we may safely accept this
Populist plank and conclude that the
Democrats will and could do nothing to the
trusts Nor is ii necessary that they should
be brought into power to raise the only ar
ticle that they produce according TO their
Populist brethren. The trusts probably
raise enough of that

L. S. BALDWIN.

BROOK, Ind, Sept 2O.-L. s. Baldwin. of
Noblesvile, spoke here to-day. In the
course of his address he said:
"At time when the old countries of Eu-
rope were gray with age, and when mon
archy had seemingly established itself as
of governments. a new republic was horn
upon a new hemisphere, whose declaration
of principles was not that of the divine
right of kings, but OF the divine right of
man; not that governments exist for kings
but for man; that life, liberty and the piIr-
suit of happiness are not the right of the
few, but the inalienable right of every man
that chooses TO do right.
although our people have, from time TO
time been divided as to the best means of
reaching the greatest good for the greatest
number yet, when the integrity of our
Union or the honor of our Nation has been
in peril, the great mass of our people have
freely laid aside party differences and
stood by the government, thus proving
that a popular form of government can
possess all the elements of stability essen
tial TO her perpetuity and the administra-
ton of her affairs.
while we do not claim that the Repub-
lican party has made no mistakes and
while we do not claim perfection for her
leaders we do claim that at each time a
crisis has arisen in this country she has
taken such a stand as to receive the en-
phatic Endorsement of the great mass of
our people. irrespective OF party affilia-
tions and that as time has advanced these
masses find new reasons for CONCENTRATING
themselves for giving this party their sup
port.
'.Twice has our party received the reins
OF government from the Democratic party
when every department of our public serv-
ice had been In the hands OF that party.
and at each of these times our public credit
was a public disgrace. And as a Demo-
cratic authority once put IL, with all the
elements of national wealth we found our
manufactures suspended. our public works
retarded our private enterprises OF differ-
ent kinds abandoned. and thousands OF USE
full laborers thrown out of employment and
reduced TO want. But at each of these
