DECLINE OF POPULIGM.
die-Of-thc-rOaders No Longer Able

The middle-of-the-road populists. if
ty-siX in number, met in this city and
nominated complete state ticket.
They divided honors with their brethen

way to hold their convention Septem-
Der Is says the indianapolis News. The
convention of yesterday showed very
clearly that, as far as Indiana is con-
cerned, the Popuiist movement, as an
independent political force, has worn
itself out. No well-informcd man be-
lieves that the ticket nominated yes
terday-if it ever gets on the official
hallot-will poll an appreciate vote.
The ticket itself may be torn to pieces
by the refusal of the fusionist candi-
dates to allow the use OF their names.
Populism has in truth seen its best
days. 1t is the legitimate successor of
the Grange, the Grecnback party, the
Farmers Alliance, and it has followed
them into oblivion. or course the Pom
ulist party will have successors. and
it may even be that It will take on
new life when times get hard again,

STUDYING THE GULLS.
Col. Edward Hatch, Jr., Takes Party
Out on Lake ChampIain.

Out On Luxe nunlpIa1n'
Col Edward Hatch, Jr, entertained
| party of friends yesterday afternoon with
a cruise upon the lake. the main purpose
of the excursion being to make observa-
tons upon the habits of the guls which
are found in such great numbers upon
the -Four Brothers. The party which
made tho trip upon the steamer Mari
lquita consisted of Colonel Hatch, Jr..
Gen and Mrs. r. s. Peck and Miss Theo-
dora Peck, Mr. and Mrs. c. \. Murray
and Miss Florence Farrar of this city, Mr.
and Mrs William butcher and Miss
butcher OF New York, Mrs. Frank G.
VI eeks of Boston and Masters Boyd and
Livingstone Hatch.
The DAY was ideal for nature study and
the trip was doubly ENJOYABLE because Of
| the presence of Mr.. butcher who is an
orniLhoisist of national rcpute, and
president Of the National Association Of
Audubon societies. The party landed
upon the islands and examined the nests
of the gulls and gained an interesting in
! sight into their life and habits. Later a
cruise was made To the camp Of NJ. O.
! Leighton at Wllsboro bay and upon the
return trip the Mariquta reached the
dock about six o'clock
| The object of the National Association
of Audubon societies of which Mr.. Dutch
| or is president is to inaugurate societies
| in the different States for bird protection
and these societies now number 90 in as
many States. The national association
confines it's work mainly to the formation
of new societies IN the several States
and to Interesting farmers in the cco-
nomic side of the question. II also seeks
to enlist the influence of school teachers
in the work of bird protection.
In its Legislative work the associa-
tion divides the birds into two general
classes-gane birds ana uon-Same

LITTLE THOUGHTS.

Time that Is lost is never found.
A soft answer may be a hard argu-
mcnt.
Difficulties are meant to rouse, not
discourage.
1t is more profitable to read one man
than ten books.
One always has time enough If one
will apply it well.
He who takes good care of the days
need give himself no worry over the
year.
Character consists liz man steadily
pursuing the things of which he feels
himself capable.
A fault which humbles man Is OF
more use to him than a good action
which puffs him up with pride.
1t is better to right your wrongs
while they are young and tender than
to nurse them until they are old and
tough.

Acquiring u ton

Archbishop liowlcy, who lived in the
eighteenth century, most unjustly got
the reputation ef swearing like n troop
er. The explanation is that the Duke
of Cumberland. who fought the battle
of Cullodcn and who was unspeakably
profane, once went in quest of the
primatc to get his assistance about a
certain bill which he disliked. He re-
turned to the house Of lords, saying:
IT'S all right, my lords. I've seen the
archbishop. and he says he'll see the
promoters to - before he'll vote for
the --- bill" As n matter of fact, all
the profanity had been supplied quite
in the ordinary run of conversation by
the duke.

less IN writing prescriptions for in-l
foxloants.n We regard this express
sicn ~ m injustice to thephysIcians
who have obeyed the letter
and the spirit Of the local OPP
ton Law. II the honorable grand
jury had evidence before them suf-
ficient to have justified . statement
of this kind, they had evidence suf-
flciently definite to name the physi-
clans who were entirely too liberal
| anu reckless IN writing prescriptions
for intoxicants, and IL there was a
good and sufficient reason why their
names should be withheld, then, it
seems, justice to the physicians OF
the county who had obeyed the law
who have suggested to the honorable
grand jury the propriety of main
tanning an eloquent silence. Con-
sdering the report in its abstract
form seriatim, beginning with con-
gratulatory expressions on the al
most universal observance OF the
local option law" which they find
on a close and careful examination
"as being observed and enforced as
well as any of our criminal statutes
and even better than some OF them, !"
then commenting the citizens for
their moral support and the officers
for their determined efforts in see
ing that the law is enforced.
Then charging "a few OF the
physicians with being entirely too
liberal and reckless in writing pre-
scripiions for intoxicants" in such
indefinite language as to admit of its
application to any physician in
the county, and making this the
predicate for gratuitous suggestions
to the representatives in the legisla-
ture a. to the necessity for change
In the law with reference to this
point, we are forced to opinions
which we would summarize briefly

Diagnosis-This is clearly case
of excessive zeal on a particular line
OF thought, coupled with natural
weakness In the upper story.
Prognosis.-In this class of cases
the prognosis is always doubtful or
bad. They rarely ever prove fatal,
but they very seldom recover, their
general course is a more or less reg
ular progress, sometimes quite slow,
to a condition Of hopeless fanati-
clsm.
Treatment There Is but little TO
be said under this beading, ar no
line Of treatment gives satisfactory
results. Time, with absolute rest
from the responsibilities, cares and
vexatious Of attending to the peo-
pies p0siuess may effect a cure, bat
