"Whuturo we to think of a Itopublicfin paper that will ivo aid and comfort to the Populist party" by publishing its call for county convention? Will Al-vin please answer.

Kdniunds, Adams, Schnri! Carnege, Goiiipcrs and a host of other eminent men of all parties, relating to the Philhpene uestion.

It is boo ot much importance and interest just at tins time and should find its way to every library in the laud' We an glad to learn that Mr. Culp is liavini iair success here with the book His Mistake. WTe give below Mr. Roche's reason for leaving the Populist party. In our judgment ho is making a mistake.

That there will a successful ieopes party ma torialize upon the foundation built up by the Populists we have no doubt, and we believe it the duty of every Populist to stand firm. To leave the party on ac count of the acts of a few would be manipulaters only give tho fixers more power to degrade tho party. Stay where you belong, for we are gradually getting rid of the pap-suckers and their heelers: There are a few Pops around who don't like our way of thinking, and are therefore accusing us of being a Republican. Now, that don't bother us anv for we would rather be a Republican than a fool I'op. Rut we don't claim to be either.

We left the Republican party in 1889, and have been working for honest principles in politics ever since. Hut when we see men who came into the reform movement at the eleventh hour, and have done nothing but seek otliee or make themselves a constant menace by trading and selling out their running mates on the same ticket to make their own chances better for election, and at the same time are disgust ing the members of the party and mak ing good men come out without enough stopping witli Mr, Totten over night, Mrs. Bailie Osborn left last Tuesday for a month's visit with her parents at Troy, Doniphan county.

VARNEY. If you have fell behind in some of common tranches the Academy is me place to get startel again. votes lor a respectable counting, we claim the party is worse than we said the Republicans and Democrats were in This has been done year after year until some of the best workers of the Populist party have become so disgusted with it that they have abandoned all hope of ever accomplishing anything decent, and to-day are standing out independent, as we are, and don't promise to be led around by Republicans and Democrats going under the guise of Populists. Men should be what they profess to be politically and if they are not they are enemies to free government, and should not be given the respect that is sometimos accorded them. There a class of so-called Populists in this ounty who have done more to disorganize and degrade the party than all the opposition that could possibly be turned against it by the opposition.

Men who never esjMjiisod one of the principles of reform are to-day dictating to those old line Pops of and making them Ijo-lieve they are the only ones capable of running a party and that they are their only friends and if it wasn't for their pfforts the party would le ruined. These same men have lined up Populist delegates at conventions and will kon hand Saturday at the committee meeting to do it again. We have quit the Pop party not only because it is unable to control itself without the support of its enemies, but further, because it has violated its platform pledges. A party has no more right to make promises.
