sights.
MY, isn't this big town." exclaim

a quick step and with shoulders erect

warded only with disappointment,
but at last one morning they came
upon party Of the little men. The
Negritos dropped the bundles Of rat
tan they were carrying and con.
cealed themselves in the under
growth.
The German and his men knew
exactly what they were to do in such
case. They were not to go an
inch in pursuit. No weapon was
to be shown. One of the men who
could speak little Of the native
dialect, aired his accomplishment in
the gentlest way. The white man was
their good friend and had come to
see them. And what wonderful
presents he had brought for his
friends The white man and his
servants extended their arms, which
were loaded with bright cottons,
strings Of beads, many colored neck
laces, tobacco, and other tempting ar
ticles whose merits were eytolled by
the spokesman with all the eloQuence
he could command
They knew the natives were be-
hind the bushes looking at the tempt
ing sight and listening to the ex-
hortation. Then the visitors sat
down, still holding out the beautiful
presents. Finally an old man, the
leader Of the party, stuck his head
out of the bush. He broke off a green
twig and held it up. 1t was a sign
Of peace and the white man nodded
to him. The ice was broken. The
Negrito approached the European,
they shook hands. some Of the
presents were distributed and the
visitors became the guests of the lit.

BY U. S. SENATOR JOS. m. DIXON,
Chairman of Progressive National
Committee

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-In his classic
American Commonwealth" Mr. Bryce
speaks of our subservience as a people
10 party authority as greater than ex-
lists in any other democratic country
and as altogether inexplicable 1t has
been pointed out by other learned and
friendly students of our institutions
that this slavish obedience to party is
the root of many of our most persistent
national ills
From it has grown the boss sys-
tenn and the whole extra unconstitutional
method Of nominating candidates for
elective Office AS a result. we have
drifted far away from the constitution
in this regard and have substituted
methods and practices not contem-
plated by the constitution and directly
contrary to its provisions.
The idea of party loyalty has become
a dogma preached with fervor and
stupidity that amount to bigotry The
party may steal a presidential nomina-
ton from the people and bestow it upon
a candidate repudiated by the rank and
file of the party, but it is still the
Grand Old Party" Its leaders may be
shown in corrupt alliance with crooked
business, working in defense of abuses
and against the redress of crying evils
but look at its long record of honorable
achievement in the past and the great
names which adorn it's history and get
into line
Regularity a Consolation"
Obedience to party may involve sup
porting men and practices which you
detest, but you will have the consola-
ton that you are regular"
This idea is as degrading as all SUI
perstitions. and until its hold upon the
members of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties is broken we can hardly
consider ourselves a self governing peo-
pie and worthy of free institutions.
The Progressive party submits its
program to the conscience and the pa
trotism of the independent voters 1t
bids them step clear from the ancient
and rusty shackles of party, which, in
fact, are broken. and only intimidate
without being strong enough to bind or
hold.
1t should no longer be true as was
once said of the American people, that
they fear the dead lions of secession
and slavery more than the live dogs of
political corruption.
