Upon in quiry and searching for its pedigree I was astonished at its antiquotv, for the first record I could find relating to it was in the garden of Eden. You see Adam and Eve were the two old parties, and the devil was tho third one. and 1 find he has been bobbing up and claiming recognition aver since oven to tho present day. If you dont believe it, just skim along through the histories of the nations and you will find that all the nations have been af flicted with the doctrins of the third party in some form. France has suf fered more pc haps than any other nation in that line, for the principals of third partyism flourished in all its glory in the French commune. In this country the seeds of discord were imported very early and have been cropping out continually, notably in knight of golden circle, know-nothing ism, socialism, nationalism, green backism etc. until now it confronts us as a body composed of all tho isms, quacks, cranks, rag tag and bob-tail politicians that can be mustered to gether undor the name of the populist or peonies nartv. and in Aluhomo they are Kolbitea. and have the cheek to even cull themselves Jeffersonian democrats. This charnel ian like change of name to one respectable is simply a bate thrown out. an extra spoonful of soup for new recruits. So it is useless for us to say that the par ty will play out, for it is here to stay in some form or other. It is too old to bo discouraged by defeat, it may lay dormant tor some time, yes for centimes, but it will come again the same as yellow fever, small pox, or any other affliction, that the human race is heir to. The speakers of this party have the gall to go out and preach peonage, starvation and hard times, regular calamity howlers. They will quote Jefferson with as much ease and cheek as the devil quoted scripture, and to put the whole thing in a nut shell every time I hear a populist epeaker I am forcibly re minded of Babs’ sermon. The text of which was. “The lougue is a divine organ, but the devil often plays upon it,” and this is our version of the mat ter when the populist calmity screach er strikes up his discord.

Senators Jones, of Ark.; Vest, of Mo., and Mills, of Texas, the three good democrats charged with tho im portant duty of preparing the amend ments to the Wilson tariff bill which are to be submitted to tho Senate Fi nanco committee, have proven them selves giants and earned the gratitude of the country, which wants the tariff disposed of at tho earliest possible mo ment, by completing their work, and as the other democratic members of tho Finance committee have kept in touch with them in their work it is altogether probable that tho amend ments reported by them will all be adopted by the committee and that tho VViison bill will be before tho Sen ate before the close of this week. This breaks the record in committee work on tariff bills and is highly creditable to tho men who did it, but there is an other thing that is even more credita ble to them. The bill they have re ported will be supported by every democratic Senator. The proposed amendments have not been made pub lic, but they are all in one direction— that of increasing the revenue which the new tariff will produce. There are reasons for the belief that among the proposed amendments are a duty on coa , and on sugar, both raw and relined. 1 he sub-committee made no change in the income tax. One of the principal reasons for largeiy increas ing the revenue features of the tariff bill is that the democratic Senators are opposed to any further issue of bonds and propose to place the Treas ury in such a condition that no more will be needed. Had the House not adjourned Satur day on account of the sudden death of Kepro.entative Ilouk, of Ohio, who dropped dead i i-iday afternoon while visiting a friend, it is probable that Hep esentative Bland's bill for the coinage of tho seigniorage in the Treas. ury would have passed to-day. That it will pass early this week is the gen eral expedition. There is much talk about tho bill being vetoed bv Presi dent Cleveland, but it is admitted by those who say they expect it to be ve toed that their expectations are not based upon any information they have received from the President. There is also some talk about submitting the bill to u democratic caucus and that may yet bo done; not for the purpose of endorsing it but for the purpose of to changing it to avoid the danger of a veto. Senator Morgan, of Ala., who is chairman of the Senate committee on Foreign Relations, was at the time the annexation treaty was negotiated with the Representatives of the provisional government of Hawaii strongly in fa vor of annexation. For that reason It has been feared that he might not a greo with his democratic colleagues — Senators Gray and Butler—on the sub committee which has been making the investigation, as to the nature of the report to be made on the evidence ta ken by the sub-committee. 1 have just learned from a trustworthy sou;ce that those are entirely groundless, as the three Senators named are in ac cord and will all sign the majority re port. The investigation is closed but the report may not be made to the Senate until after the tariff bill is passed. The remains of the late Representa tive Houk, were accompanied to Ohio by it joint Congressional committeo composed of the following: Represen tatives Hare, Springer, Bryan, Hulick, MeCraig, Ellis, ofOrog., and Ritchie, and Senators Brice, Sherman Dubois, Hunton, Martin and Allen. Mr. Houk was much liked and the unexpected manner in whieh he died, while ap pearently in the best of health, has | c uisotl great sorrow amcud his col leagues and friends. The House committee on tho Judi ciary dot s not tako any stock i n either the beauties or benifits of wo man’s suffrage, as was shown by its p’ouipt action in making an unfavor able report on ihe resolution of Repre sentative Boll, providing for a woman’s amendment to the constitution. At an enthusiastc meeting of the democratic congressional campaign committee Senator Faulkner, of Wes! Va„ was unanimously elected chair man and Lawrence Gardnor and. J. L. Norris, of Washington, Secretary and Treasury, respectively. Next week there is be a joint meeting < f this com mittee and tlie executive committee oi the National Association of Democrat ic Clubs, for the purpose of arranging tho campaign work of this year. Editor Reporter: Among the hun dreds of papers in every part of th< union which have spoken words o praise about Govenor Stone, the Wash ington Evening Nows speaks as fol lows: Almcst any one here, regard loss of creed or party, will mosi cordially endorse it. Even those wh( do not agree with Govenor Stone, ad mire his couragous and manly actior before the caucus. It is generally understood he could have been elected without difficulty if he had said hi would have voted on the sherman law as did George nnd Walthall. It is t groat misfortune that such men an few in number in the American senati Tlie News says: Govenor Stone of Mississippi, is i man who will not barter his self re spect for any public honors, howevei alluring. lie was a candidate for United Statei Cf 4 4 . . 4!
