many machine, uranica uiai mere
good cause for fuston between democrat
and populist In other years, tides that
cau.o still exist? I doubt It. When tho
populist movement was Inaugurated tho
leaders distinctly proclaimed that It was
not their purposo to ornan.lin a now po
litical party, but rather to conpcl one of
the old parties to ehumplon certain of their
principles. Tho demands of the fathers of
populism have been fully met. The dem
ocratic party has adopted every tenable
principle urged by the pioneer populists.
In view of this fact I believe fairness
ought now to dictate the enlistment of all
populists under tho democratic banner.
And I believe that practically all pop
ull.t who supported Judge llollcnbeck
In tho late campaign arc now agreed that
they can best advance the principles held
dear by becoming nttho members of tha
democratic party. I have heard populists
say they would Join tho democratlo ranks
but tor the fear that tho party may again
bo captured by the Cleveland crowd. Their
fear would be groundless If all populists
would tuke nctlvo part In tho party work
nnd thus bo able to assist In defeating tho
event, whlrh they fear. It cannot bo fairly
taken as an offensive asHcrtlon to say that
tho populist purty as such Is on tho verge
of dissolution. Tho election returns nro
parent to tho assertion. Tho natural home
of a Nebraska populist Is within a political
organisation which believes In and advo
cate his principles. Populist for principle
can and will feel at homo nt the demo

OHAN1) ISLAND, Nib.. Nov. 15. To the
Editor of The Uco: A careful examina
tion of the vote east at the election shows
that the oppo3ltlon to the republican party
Is In tho majority In this mate. The shrink-
igo In tho vote of tho fusion forcca In every
:ounty was caused by tholr falluro to vote.
In no lnstanco, so far as I have observed,
was tho majority for the republican ticket
tracoablo to a return of populists to the
republican party. What It was caused thl
lack of Interest In the recent campaign
1s not so easily answered. However, In
aiy opinion, It aroso first from tho fact
that tho populist 1 not n radical partisan,
md the fact that tho fuslonlsts bad two
of tho members of tho supremo court anil
.that to elect another would to them niaku
!tho court appear ns a partisan court more
so than If a part thereof was a representa
tive of tho opposition, Is one element of
tho lack of Interest; and another U that
'many of tho populists left the republican
party with no expectation of ever Joining
'tho democratic; hence, tboy take some
stock In tho republican cry of their lia
bility to bo swallowed up by tho democracy
and thus take a mora lively Interest In a
campaign In which ono of tholr own party
heads tho ticket. Those who feel thus are
of course In tho extreme minority; most
of them believing that all those who think
alike should vote allko, and this whether
the ticket Is headed by a democrat or a
populist. Personally, I love tho democratlo
.party for tho principles upon which It Is
founded, and yet 1 am a firm' believer that
If wrongs exist In fusing with any party
that will assist in righting those wrongs.
All republicans said this idea was corroct
In tho recent election In Now York City
and tho better element in tho republican
party said this was correct In tho recent
election in tho stato of Pennsylvania.
Thoro aro many wrongs In this state that
should be righted, nnd 1 bcllovo that tho
democrats and populists should In tho com
ing campaign of 1002 fuse on tho cntlro
state and legislative tickets, and I further
believe confidently that they will, and that
thereby the stato will be taken from the
hands of tho republican party and placed
In the hands of thoso who gnve tho stnto
six year of tho best and most economic
government that It ever had.

NELSON. Neb.. Nov. 17. To the Kdltor
of Tho Beo: Tho returns indicate that at
the election held on tho Cth of tho month
a largo number of tho populists and demo
crats failed to vote. At least 20,001) who
had evidently supported our ticket In the
past failed to have their votes recorded.
Tho presumption Is that had they gono to
the polla this year they 'would have once
more voted with us. Tho republicans woro
able, as in tho paBt, to got every repub
lican voter out on election day.
I am of the opinion that tho large stay-at-home
vote this year Is as thoroughly In
sympathy with the policies and principle
of our party as ever and that a falluro to
vote canot bo nccepted as a change of view
on political subjects, but rather as nn in
dication that they believed tho stato would
ho carried for llollcnbeck without their
oto. I cannot say nt this time Just what
tho policy will bo In tho matter of fusion
next year, for our votors determine thoso
questions for themselves.
I am, however, a firm believer In tho
platform and views of tho populist party. I
urn also woll acquainted with tho fearless
rrss and independence of tho members of
tho party. They acknowledge no inaHter and
In their viown and party action they uro
Kiildcd by what they doom to bo right nnd'
for tho best Interest of the people.
Tho very fact that the populists left the
old parties In 1890 and as democrats and
republicans fused In tho organlxatlon of
the new party Indicates their independ
ence. If tboy deem It to bo right to fuse
with the Ilryan democrats, those fearless
fighters for good government, next year
they will do bo when the convention day
arrives, but whatever action is taken by
tho two parties It will be for tho best as
they honestly view it.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 17. The Call to
day prints an unconfirmed st6ry from Skag
way, Alaska, under dato of November 6,
telling of the discovery of what Is alleged
to be a huge conspiracy existing In Dawson
and ramifying to Skagway, Victoria, Van
couver nnd Seattle for tho overthrow of
tho local government of tho Northwest
Territory and the establishment of a re
public, with ikwson as Its capital.
According' to the details of tho story,
nrms, ammunition and provisions have been
taken In over the railroad and rached at
strategic points. Prominent American res
ident of Skagway aro said to be ring
leaders In the conspiracy. Miners to tho
number of 5,000 aro said to await tho sum
mons to arms, ready to light for the In
dependence from Dominion rulq of tho
gold field camps and towns.
The plan I to overpower tho mounted
police, arrest tho civil authorities and tnko
tho government Into their own hands. Tho
rigor of the Arctic winter would give tho
Insurgent six months' Immunity from at
tack by Canadian or Britl.li troops and
the adventurous nrchconsplrntqrs hopo for
Intervention or outside assistance by tho
time the melting of Ico or snow will per
mit tho Invasion of their Isolated republic.
Authnrltlr llnltl t.'onferet
It Is further related that n hurried con
ference lasting until midnight was held at
Skagway, November 1), nt which were pres
cut Captain Corrlgan of tho Northwest
Mounted police, who had nrrlvcd from
across tho Canadian border late that even
ing; Judge Brown of tho United States dis
trict court; United States Marshal Shoups;
United State Attorney Frederick nnd
Major Hovey, commanding tho United
State troops at Skagway.
This was the last of several hasty con
sultations between tho civil and military
repretcntatlves of tho two powers In rela
tion to tho mysterious transportation of
auppllesjlnto the interior nnd rumors of a
conspiracy to lead tho miner In a revolt
ngalust Canadian government in tho
Northwest Territory.
Thoso present maintained subsequently
tho strictest silence concerning the new
evidence lnld beforo them nnd their evident
nnxlety helped to confirm tho rumors of
conspiracy.
Captain Corrlgan took n train back
ncross tho border the next morning, while
United States Marshal Shoupc embarked
on tho first steamer for Seattle, which port
ho reached sovcral days ago. The object
of hi visit was, presumably, to confer by
telegraph with tho authorities nt Washing
ton. He sailed yesterday afternoon on
Dolphin on hi way back, to Skagway.

ST. PETKHSIIl'lirj, Nov. 17. A criminal
process which has Just ended at Nljnl
Novgorod proves that Ilussla has not yet
attained tho Ideal of all government, an
Incorruptlblo public service. Several en
gineers, led by ono AlcxnndrofT, were con
victed of wholesale frnuds In connection
with river Improvements covering n num
ber of venrs. They executed whatever
work they did In tho most shameless man
ner and charged for material never pur
chased and laborers never hired and sold
material tent them almost as fast as It
was delivered. It Is Interesting In this
connection that Assistant Minister of
Finance Itomanoff's visit to Manchuria was
mainly to Inquire Into tho peculiar dlsap
pearanco of railway records from places
whore the Chlneso found nothing else
worth carrying off.
From many provinces there have been
coming in during severnl months loud com
plaints against the government liquor mo
nopoly. Nearly nil tho zemstva of tho
famine district liavo petitioned vainly, It
seem, against the continued sale of spirits
during the famine and the city of St.
Petersburg and the houseowners In a por
tion of the city, with a population of 10,
000 worklngmen, nrc petitioning the govern
ment to close tho liquor booths In these
districts. In other pnrta the zemstva do
mnnd higher liquor prices, the Increased
profits to bo devoted to education. Thoso
petitions hnvo likewise been disregarded
so far. Tho minister of flnanco proposes
to allow tho temperance commission 4,
000,000 roubles next year. The flnanco
minister, who tins control of all factories,
proposes to Introduce evening nnd Sunday
classes for workmen, Instruction to bo both
elementnry nnd technical.
Tho St. Petersburg prefect of police asks
for a large Increase of the police force from
400 to 450 in higher police, nnd from 2,000
to 2,500 in ordinary police. Salaries aro
also to bo Increased to a minimum of COO
roubles a year. The total Increased ex
pense will bo 1,802,000 roubles.
Tho nnnual student movement nppcars to
have begun this year at Kleff. A mcctmg
has been held nt whluh resolutions wero
adopted asking for the rcadmlsslon of stu
dents who wero expelled from tho uni
versity Jast winter and who have hitherto
vainly sought to return. The St. Potc
burg university student also held a meet
ing or two to protest against an article In
a weekly journal, tho Citizen, which gra
tuitously called In question the morality
of tho women students nnd constructed In
Imagination n St, Petersburg Quartlcr
Latin. There seems to hnvo been no ten
dency In this direction so far. On the ad
vice of tho minister of education the stu
dents confined themselves to a declaration
of contempt. Endless speeches were, how
ever, delivered.
Tho budget for tho ministry of education
for the coming year will probably be In
creased by 4,000,000 to 37,000,000 roubles.
Elementnry schools will receive 1,700,000,
the universities 500,000, tho building fund
1,000,000 moro and other departments smal
ler increases.

The executive council of tho federation
which Mr. Oompcrs did not have time to

"Neither tno federation nor myself will
stand for anything unlawfully done by
anyone, but Mr. Iglcslns was nrrested upon
a charge which can be easily proved to bo
without nny foundation In fact. Ho was
engaged In protecting the worklngmen of
Porto Klco from being paid In greatly do
nrcclated money. It being tantamount to
a 25 per cent reduction In their wages.
"A man wns killed aud another hurt In

nnd he will no doubt bo nblo to demon

of the miners familiar with those employed
there still nssert that nt least eight bodies
are yet within the mine.
Tho fallen slate at various Intervals

Tho law provides thai the four principal

Of moro Importance than the foot ball
games played on nny one day so far this
year were those of last Saturday This is
becauso they put clearly out of the races
for the championship of tho Big Four In
tho east nnd tho Big Nino lu tho west two
of tho very strongest contestants for thrw.u
volitions.
Princeton's defent by Yale by a score ot
12 to 0 Is an epoch. It means that for onco
there will be a real and undisputed cham
pion of tho Big Four. Ever slnco Harvard
refused to play any more games with tho
Tigers It has been lmposslblo to settle this
much-mooted qucBtlon, for thu comparative
victories and scores so arranged themselves
that there, wa nlwny room for legltlmnto
dispute. This season It will bo plainly do
tcrinlncd, Pcnnsylvnula hns been outclassed
by nil the other three, nnd now Yalo has
put Princeton out of the running. Thin
means that the Yule-Harvard game next
Saturday will settle the matter definitely
for onco. Tho winner of that great game
will be tho undisputed champion of tho Big
Four und the alleged best team lu tho
world.
At Madlbon, Wis., was played n gnino of
fnr moro Interest to westerners than even
tho struggle ut Now Haven. H was tho ono
lu which thu husky little Badgers simply
toyed with tho giant Gophers from Min
nesota nnd defeated them by n scoro of
IS to 0, every point being made In tho first
half of tho gamo. Tho Gophers arc laid
nwny back about even with Nebraska, for
although early In the season they defeated
the Cornhuskers, lator developments hnvo
chauged tho relative standing. Wisconsin
defeated Nebraska IS to 0, nnd Cnptuln
Curtis said after Saturday's gamo that tho
llttlo men from tho west wero a hnrder nut
to crnck than tho big men from tho north.
Tho Pndgers simply nto Mlnncsotn up,
making threo touchdowns nnd a nfcty In
thlrty-llvo minutes' ot play, while with Ne
braska thoy fought the whole of the Bevcnty
minutes for n sltnllnr score.
Undue Let l'p Then.
It wns plain that tho Badger let up In
tho second halt nnd did nut try hard to
score, although they would hnvo doubtless
hnvo done so If tho opportunity hnd como
nlong easily. They had fought hard at
first for that victory and against their big
opponents, who weighed easily twelve
pounds heavier to tho mnn, It
had been a renl task to do
what they did. So Coach King said
that If they would Just keep tho Gophers
fighting during the second half thnt would
bo enough. That's what they did, keeping
tho ball always In Gophor territory, but
never attempting to r.un It much. In fact,
Ilvo times did Driver .kick on tho tlrst
down, without ovon. attempting to havo tho
ball carried.
Tho other fealuro. Is that tho only other
logical claimant for western foot ball cham
pionship honors, tho InicfiTgan team, will
havo nn opportunity to compare with tho
Badgers, although thero Is no gamo bo
tween (hem. Saturday tho Wolverines de
feated Chlcngo, 22 to 0. Thanksgiving day
Wisconsin, plays Chicago.. Will tjtcy do
more or less against VStiigg's pupllB? That
la tho burning question, ror overyono iiis
ll'kcs to have tho scasou end 'with two
champions, alleged or real.
Meanwhile Nebraska has beaten Kansas
by a good, dcclslvo score, but tho Corn
huskers deserve ovcry censure for allowing
so weak n team to cross their goal line.
Drain, quarterback and general star, was
ngalu tho hit of tho game. Ills develop
ment lu three years' play has been phenom
enal.
