NEIT CLEM DBA YKUIU
The infamy of Clem Deaver con
sisted of the fact that while he claimed
to be a populist, he was working in
the interests of another party, and
was paid for that work by appoint
ment to office in the party that was
most antagonistic to every interest
and every principle of the people's
party. ,
There has arisen another set of Clem
Deavers, few in number, it is true,
but working along the same lines.
They still claim to be populists and
wish to take part in the councils of
ti e party, direct its policies and con
trol its nominations, while at the
same time they claim that the people's
party is dead, and that it should not
held a national convention. If these
men think that the people's party is
dead, if they look for reform only
through the , democratic party, then
the honorable thing for them todo is
to affiliate with the democratic party,
attend its primaries and conventions
and stay . out of the populist party.
Tfcey have that right. Such a course
would be honorable, and to it The
Independent would make no sort of
objection It would honor them for
taking such action. But it distinctly
and earnestly protests against- such
r en pretending that they are popul
ists and endeavoring to control the
policies of the party in the interests
of another political organization.
The men of brains in the democratic
party, the men who hope for reform in
this state, are just as anxious for the
people's party to maintain and build
up the populist organization as ever
The Independent was. They -know
that if the people's party should dis
organize and go put of existence, that
the republican party would carry this
state by 50,000 majority and that, no
campaign fund would be necessary for
tbem to do it. There are democrats
in this' state of ability and . who are
just as much interested and as earn
estly desire ! reform ; and release from
corporation rule as any populist. And
they are just as honest,, too.' Many of
these menhave come to the editor of
The Independent and purged that , the
people's parly organization mould be
kept up in every county and precinct.
These democrats are as bitterly op
posed to the new Clem Deaverites as
they are to the. Wall street reorgan-
Nebraska is the only state , where
here has never been ' any fusion-?-
that is, the uniorv or blending together
into one substance of two separate
sibstances the people's party has al
ways maintained a complete and sep
aiate organization, and Nebraska is
the only state where the people's par
ty is alive and enthusiastic. There
are many other states where the en
thusiasm is growing at an astonish-
iogly rapid rate, but there would have
been no enthusiasm anywhere had it
not been for the firm stand that Ne
braska populists have taken against
"affiliating" with any other party, and
rinety-nine out of every hundred
l'.pulists in Nebraska are determined
to pursue the same policy in the fu
ture. Whether the people's party
bhall "co-operate" with one or more
Parties in the attempt to wrest this
state from the rule of the railroads is
another question entirely and does
not como within the scope of this ar
ticle. One thing la certain, the now
Cicm Deaverites will get cold com

"I ,SBM0K6f DlUKCTfON. :
Mr, Stewartj pdward White,, in his.
story of ''The Mountains'' .in The Out
look, makes some remarks about the
"sense of, direction." He says:- "Some
possess it; others do not. The distinc
tion seems M almost .arbitrary," He
seems to ; thiak that it is a , "sixth
sense," and those born without it can
never acquire It,, in which he is wrong.
We have pevermet a human being
out on these plains who, did not have
an instinctive, knowledge of north and
scuth and east and west. But in the
cities one may find hundreds who
have no idea of the points of the com
pass. In a western city in directing a
stranger we ;always ' say so many
I locks "north" or so many "west,"
as the case may be. Once in a while
a person gets 'turned around," as they
say, and "north seems east or other
wise. When that happens the sense
of direction is always wrong in that
place, even if a person Jives there for
years. It is a constant annoyance
r.nd one which causes rouca vexation.
In the titles many pimple never in
oil their lives thluk once about which
Is north or south. If those very ieo
ple had been born in the country.
especially where the original surveys
were on lines running north and south
r.nd east and west, they would all hive
tad "a sense of direction." Of course
this sonno can b cultivated like any
ether. Onco In ft fogsy night In Boa-

COME HOME TO ROOST.
Wherever the republicans have seen
any danger to the corporations or
plutocracy from co-operation by op
posing parties, they have so manip-"
ulated the Australian ballot law that
n.ch co-operation would be nullified.
That has been done in Kansas. Uli-
i uis, Wisconsin , and several other
spates. Now it seems that the chick
