Somehow, populists were never
so interested in fusion, and some
how, democrats were never so in
dependent.
The thoughts of fusion with the
democrats couses frowns to over
spread the faceof numerous populist
candidates.
Now that the Schley-Sampson
controversy has been revived it is
about time for Omaha sleuths to
have another clue to the whereabouts
of one Pat Crowe.
When it is considered that less
them one-half of the readers are in
terested in political news, a news
paper that is all politics doesn’t find
a very large class of admirers.
Mr. Denver,late editor of the True
Populist, says he is a republican
since his appointment to the O’Neill
land offiice. This is a very good
time to discard populist vagaries.

promises to say something this week.
Will he? Or will the blue pencil
satisfy his wounded feelings.
Forty one thousand applications
for pension have been made from
soldiers serving in the Spanish
Ameriean and Philippine wars. If
granted, it will require opproxi
mately $3,000,000 anunally to pay
them. It is probable that not a
tithe of this is really needed or
should be granted.

D. Clem Denver, lately appointed
receiver of the O’Neill land office,
says the fusionists tried to buy off
the True Populist last fall at $75
the double column per day. This is
a pretty fair rate, but if they started
with that kind of bids in the last
campaign what will be their “price”
this year. ?
Admiral Schley is cutting a
scarcely less ridiculous figure in the
controversy of who was the hero
at Santiago than did the hero of
Manila in his brief but stromy poli
tical venture. Schley exhibits more
of the traits of the true hero. In
all this noise and bustle for honor
he only lowers his name on the page
of that brilliant chapter of American
naval history. There were many
men who were ready to ascribe much
of the credit of the Santiago cam
paign to Schley, but their minds
have changed. Men invariably,
lind their proper level in history,
and if Schley had been really the
hero of Santiago people would find
it out.
-- -*~*®*-.*-—
Columbus Telegram (dem.): The
poimlists of Custer, the banner
populist county of the state, have
made a poor start looking toward
fusion this fall. They have put up
a straight populist ticket, without
consulting the democrats on the
subject of fusion. In view of the
accepted fact that Custer county has
been in the habit of setting the
populist pace for the state, this ac
i tion is taken by many to indicate
that populists generally are deter
mined to abandon the fusion idea in
Nebraska. However, since Custer
has of late been drifting toward the
republican shoals, perhaps the
balance of the state may not be
eager to follow its bad example.
Hast fall Custer waa the hot bed of
| middlo-of-the-roadism and now that
D. Clem Deaver, the chief mid
roader, has received a $3,000 a-year
republican reward, perhaps there
are in Custer a large number of
patriots looking for like showers of
blessings and that may account for
their hasty action in ignoring the
democrats.

“We are now upon the verge of
moral and material ruin.” Let us
open the tomb, burst death’s con
nonized cerements and look back
into the early 90’s. Where are the
men who ten years ago spread upon
th« platform of the populist party
those terrible words? You cannot
count one who tumbled over the
“verge of moral and material ruin”
which may be aatributed to a
failure to follow populist ideas.
Ten years ago populism swept like
the hot winds over Nebraska and
the people believed the only mat
erial salvation lay in voting the pop
ticket. That party has bursted
like a bubble and republicanism
marches serenely triumpleant in
stateand nation. Material ruin was
never farther from the home and
firesides of the nation. Phenominal
prosperity is at the hand of every
man who is not too lazy to pick
it up.
Why It Is Hot.
Garrett P. Serviss, the scientist,
thus explains the heat. “The burn
ing heat now afflicting the whole
of the United States, and felt also
on the other side of the Atlantic, and
generally throughout the Northern
hemisphere, is convincing proof of
the fact that the earth is the satellite
of a variable star.
“Only on the assumption that the
source of terrible heat is directly in
the sun, and due to an extraordinary
increase in its effective radiation,
can the widespread and long-con
tinued nature of the present mete
orological disaster be satisfactorily
explained.
“All astronomers know that the
face of the sun is blanketed with
absorbing vapors, while its interior
is much hotter than the glowing
shell that we see.
“Strip off the vaporous blanket
entirely, and the surface of the earth
would probably burst into smoke
and flame in the instantaneous gush
of unbearable heat that would be
poured upon it,
“Whenever, as occurs periodically,
though not always to the same extent,
the solar vapors are thinned, the
heat from within leaps out through
the weakened shell, and strikes the
earth and the near-by planets as
with a breath of fire from the sud
denly opened door of a blazing
furnace.
“That is what happened this sum
mer, and the immediate agency that
has flung open the furnace doors
and sent forth the destroying blast
is the mysterious power whose visible
manifestation is the presence of
black sunspots.
“But it is a mistake to suppose
that the sunspots themselves exercise
any direct influence upon the
weather, or that there must be spots
on the sun whenever there is extraor
dinary heat upon the earth.
“The spots are simply indicators
of the sun’s condition, resembling
in that respect the eruptians on the
skin of a smallpox patient.
“They tell the story of the sun’s
internal convulsions, and indicate
some of the places on its surface
where the pent-up forces are burst
ing out.
“For the next four years these
gigantic outbursts will increase in
fury, and a corresponding series of
terrestrial seasons marked by great
excesses of temperature, sudden
outbursts and extraordinary cyclonic
disturbances will follow.”
