York Times: The democratic party in Ne
braska has leaned on tho populists so long

quired a bad case of ennui or something
worse. Still the pops seem to have deter
mined upon a divorce, and all the pleading
and cajolery of the democrats will have no
effect upon them. There is a limit to hu
man endurance, and the deception and co
quetry and even bigamy of the democracy
have at last gone home to the heart and
the populists are done. "Hell hath no fury

Blair Republican: Public sentiment here
appears to have changed very much, and
nearly everyone favors the projected elec
tric railroad. When first Introduced they
encountered bitter opposition In the county
towns of Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, but
the bugaboo evils predicted never material

as never before. What happens In those
states Is very liable to occur ln Nebraska,
and Instead of ruining our cities and vil

usher in aa era of great progress.
West Point Republican: The two divisions
of the populists are now supposed to' be
united, and their first act ls to resolve that
experience has "demonstrated the futility
of any attempt to secure the enactment of
our truth, either through the republican
or democratic parties," wherefore the time
bas arrived when "the united people's party
should declare Itself emphatically opposed
to any affiliation with either of thcxe
parties." The skies are brightening for the
democratlo party when it has so far got
back to Its old moorings that a populist
tweedledee no longer recognises a democrat

Ours is about tha only big postal system
ln ths world that doesn't carry parcels on
anything like a comprehensive or convent
ent scale. Merchandise ln packages up to
four pounds' weight will be transmitted
through the malls to any part of tha United
Blates, Canada or Mexico upon the pay
ment of 1 cent an ounce; but in .j I most
every European country, and even In Asia
and Africa, there U practically ro restric

British Guiana, the Bahamas, Barbjdoes,
the Danish West Indies, Costa Ktea, Mex

have no convention with England, France
Austria, Spain, Russia, Denmark, Norway
and Sweden or Holland and Balgium, all
of which are countries with postal systems
naturally In close relation with our own.
But we need an adequate parcels post for
purely domestlo purposes more than for
the accommodation of those who wish to
send packages abroad and to receive others

MR. PARRY CALLED DOWN.
.
Prealdeat of the Maaafaetarers Asso
ciation Talks Too Macb.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Apparently Mr. D. M. Parry, president
of the National Association of Manu
facturers, means to do all he can
to stir up bad blood In the Industrial
world. While moderate men are doing all
they can to promote a spirit of reasonable
ness and mutual fair dealing between em
ployers and employed, Mr. Parry Is going
about doing the best be can to undo tueir
work. What Debs is to the one class
Parry is to the other. Both men are ex
tremists, and each Is afflicted with an or
ganic Inability to see any side ot a ques
tion but his own. Neither man appears to
be capable of forming a qualified judg
ment or of making a qualified statement.
With Parry organized labor aa such spells
anarchism; with Debs capitalism per se
means tyranny, robbery, and ruthless ex
ploitation of the poor by the rich. Hold
ing such views, each man ls for war, and
denounces compromise as something like
criminal folly. Fortunately there Is enough
common sense, broad mlndedness and en
lightened publlo spirit ln the country to
more than countervail these opposite fan
aticisms. Every plain thinking man who
views men and facts as they are and not
through the distorting medium of a theory
or a class prejudice knows that where
there ls one employer who corresponds with
the Debs conception there are hundreds
who do not, and that there are plenty of
labor unions and labor leaders in the
country whose record flatly contradicts
Mr. rarry's theory of organized labor.
What that theory is Mr. Parry once
more set forth In his usual way ln his
address at Chautauqua yesterday on the
"Mob Spirit ln America." It was the old
story with Mr. Parry. Instead of discrim
inating, and giving praise and blame where
each was due showing wherein labor
unions were right and wherein wrong, Mr.
Parry sweeplngly denounced organized la
bor as "monocracy " as a "standing mob"
