Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1908-02-10

Probably the greatest joke of the season
has had its inception in Sheridan county,
where the populists have called a conven-
tion for the purpose of electing delegates
to the Omaha convention. The reason for
naming the delegation is given at length
in the Rushville Standard, in a signed
statement by II. F. Wasmund, chairman
Of the populst county central committee.
The chairman says:
ITO keep the organization of the party
entirely separate from other parties, for
the reason that the reforms demanded by
the peoples party would soon be enacted
into law and executed in the interests of
the people. so long as the party works in
dependent of other parties. Both of the
old parties have adopted a part of our
platform, but so far have failed to enact
them into laws and enforce them, and 1t
is very doubtful whether either can get
the party machinery out of the hands of
concentrated wealth. Until that, is DONE
the people will get no reform that, will be
of much benefit, but will be all promise
and nothing doing"
Regardless of the fact that the delegates
named by the Sheridan county populists
are sure to come to Omaha and do as the
democrats desire them to do, the populists'
chairman explains that the peoples party
is needed, as badly as a neglected garden
needs hoes, and says:
''The peoples party is needed at this time
to force the old party to give the people
relief from. corporate OPPRESSION and
closes with an appeal for every man to
stand aloof from either Of the old parties"

annexation to the United States the
Hawaiian custom house authorities
have made no specific classification o.
bananas sent to the mainland 1t is
probable, however, that the shipments
were light until last year when they
increased again. This drop in the
Hawaiian trade was no doubt due to
the diligence of those interested in the
Central American and West Indian
fruit trade in extending their trade
westward.
The Hawaiian product suffered in
the market not because of inferiority.
for the Chinese variety is considered
superior in flavor to the Jamaican.
The latter, however, can be handled
more cheaply because of it's hardness.
The future development of the
banana trade of course cannot be fore
seen, but there is no reason to sup
pose that the limit of capacity has yet
been reached. The figures above
show steady increase in consump-
ton in America. In the future more
of the bananas from the British West
Indies will probably find an outlet in
