The demands of the fathers of populism have been fully met. The dem ocratic party has adopted every temable principle urged by the ploneer populists In view of this fact I believe fairness ought now to dictate the enlistment of all populists under the democratic banner And I believe that practically all pop- ulists who supported Judge Hollenbeck in the late campaign are now agreed fhat they can best advance the principles held dear by becoming active members of the democratic party. 1 have beard popullsts suy they would join the democratio ranks but for the fear that the party may again be captured by the Cleveland crowd. Their | fears would be groundless it all populists would take active part in the party work and thus be able to assist in defeaiing the event which they fear. It cannot be fairly taken as an offensive assertion to say that the popullst party as such is on the verge of dissolution. The election returns are parent to the assertion.

To the Editor of The Bee: A careful examina- tion of the vote cast at the election shows that the opposition to the republican party in the majority in this state. The shrink- age In the vote of the fusion forces In every sounty was caused by their fallure to vote. In no Instance, so far as I have observed, was the majority for the republican ticket traceable to a return of populists to the republican party. What it was caused this fack of interest in the recent campaign 18 not so easily answered. However, in wy opinion, it arose first from the fact that the populist is not a radical partisan, and the fact that the fusionists had two of the members of the supreme court and that to elect another would to them make the court appear as a partisan court more %0 than if a part thercof was a representa- tive of the opposition, is one element of the lack of interest; and another is that ‘many of the populists left the republican party with no expectation of ever joining the democratic; hence, they take some stock in the republican cry of thelr lia- bility to be swallowed up by the democracy and thus take @ more lively interest in a campaign in which one of their own party heads the ticket. Those who feel thus are of course In the extreme minority; most of them belleving that all those who think alike should vote alike, and this whether the ticket is headed by a democrat or a popullst. Personally, I love the democratic party for the priuciples upon which it Is tounded, and yet 1 am a firm believer that 1f wrongs exist in fusing with any party that will assist in righting those wrongs. All republicans said this idea was correct in the recent election in New York City and the better element in the republican party said this was correct in the recent election in the state of Pennsylvania There are many wrongs in this state that should be righted, and 1 belleve that the democrats and populists should in the com- ing campaign of 1902 fuse on the entire state and legislative tickets, and I further belteve confidently that they will, and that thereby the state will be taken from the hands of the republican party and placed in the hands of those who gave the state six years of the best and most cconomic government that it ever had W. H Thompson Tulks. THOMPSON. an Sutherland. NELSON, Neb, Nov. 17.—-To the Editor of The Bee: The returns indicate that at the election held on the Gth of the month & large number of the populists and demo- crats falled to vote. At least 20,000 who had evidently supported our ticket in the past falled to have their votes recorded. The presumption is that had they goue to the polls this year they would have once more voted with us. The republicans were able, as in the past, to get every repub- lican voter out on election day. T am of the opinion that the large stay- at-home vote this year is as thoroughly in sympathy with the policles and principles of our party as ever and that a failure to vote canot be accepted as a change of view on political subjects, but rather as an in- dication that they believed the state would bo carried for Hollenbeck without their vote. I cannot say at this time just what the policy will be in the matter of fusion next year, for our voters determine those questions for themselves. 1 am, however, a firm believer in the platform and views of the populist parly. I am also well acquainted with the fearless- tess and independence of the members of the party. They acknowledge no master and In thelr views and party action they are guided by what they deem to be right and for the best interest of the people. The very fact that the popullsts left the old parties in 1890 and as democrats and republicans fused in the organization of the new party Indicates thelr independ- ence, If they deem It to be right to fuse with the Bryan democrats, those fearless fighters for good government, next year they will do so when the convention da; arrives, but whatever action is taken by the two parties it will be for the best as they honestly view it.

The one occur- ripg o the county clerk’s office was caused by the explosion of a stove. The flames were exiinguished before any damage was done. The other, at the house of Dexter Russell, was caused by the explosion of a Jamp. Mr. Russell, who lives ulone, was aocross the street when the explosion oce curred.

It is further related that a hurried con terence lasting until midnight was held at Skagway, November 9, at which were pres. ent Captain Corrigan of the Northwost Mounted policc. who had arrived from across the Canadian border late that even- ing: Judge Brown of the Unifed States dis- trict court; United States Marshal Shoups: United States Attorney Frederick and Major Hovey, commanding the United States troops at Skagway. This was the last of several sultations between the representatives of the two powers in rela- tion to the mysterious transportation of suppliestinto the interior and rumors of a conspirac to lead the miners in a revolt agalnst Canadian government in the Northwest Territory. Those present maintained subsequently the strictest silence concerning the new evidence laid before them and their evident anxiety helped to confirm the rumors of conspiracy. Captain Corrigan took a train back across the border the next wmorning, while United States Marshal Shoupe embarked on the first steamer for Seattle, which port he reached several days ago. The object of hix visit was, presumably, to confer by telegraph with the authorities at Washing- ton. He sailed yesterday afternoon on Dolphin on his way back to Skagway. Story in Discredited.

JOHNS, N. ov, ~The bark Titania, Liverpool for St Johns, was wrecked yesterday in a dense fog near S Johns. One man, Willlams, lost his life in trylng to reach shore. The captain and the rest of the crew, all of whom were badly injured, had a terrible experience. They were on the wreck for thirty-six hours lashed to the rigging, and were not rescued until this afternoon. So thick was the fog that the coast folk were not aware a wreck had occurred, the crew being unable to make any signals that would attract at- tention. The fact that Titania was in a cove made it impossible for the crew to land. The ship is a total wreck and the HALIFAX, N. 8, Nov. 1 The terrible gale which has been ragivg on the New- foundland cost during the last three days has carried death and destruction in its track. Shipping has suffered severely as a result of the storm and many lives have been lost. A private dispatch which reached Louis- burg, C. B., tonight states that the Nor- weglan steamer Ella, under charter to the Black Diamond Line company, had been lost on the Newfoundland coast in the vieinity of Belle Isle, with all hands. The steamer left Montreal on Friday with a gemeral cargo for St. Johns. Ella was 910 tons burden and was built in 1898, This was its last trip for the season on that route. It carried a crew of about twenty men, carzo lost.

From many provinces there have been coming in during several months loud com- plaints against the government liquor mo- nopoly. Nearly all the zemstva of the famine district have petitioned vainly, it seems, against the continued sale of spirits during the famine and the city of St Petersburg and the houseowners fn a por- tion of the city, with a population of 10, 000 workingmen, are petitioning the govern- ment to close the lquor booths in these districts. In other parts the zemstva de- mand higher liquor prices, the increased profits to be devoted to education These petitions have likewise been disregarded so far.

A meeting has been held at whish resolutions were adopted asking for the readmission of stu- dents who were expelled from the uni- versity last winter and who have hitherto vainly sought to return. The St. Peters- burg university students aleo held a meet- Ing or two to protest against an articie in a weekly journal, the Citizen, which gra- tuitously called in question the morality of the women students and constructed in Imagination o St. Petersburg Quartier Latin. There seems to have been no ten= dency in this direction so far. On the ad- vice of the minister of education the stu- dents confined themselves to a declaration of contempt. Endless speeches were, how- ever, dellvered The budget for the ministry of education for the coming year will probably be In- creased by 4,000,000 to 37,000,000 roubles. Elementary schools will receive 1,700,000, the universities 500.000, the building fund 1,000,000 more and other departments smal- ler increases.

PETERSBURG, Nov. 1.—(Special Cor- respondence of the Associated Press.)— Rumors that a epecial Chinese mission, headed by an imperial prince, will arrive here about March 1 appear to be well founded. Closer commercial relations are stated to be the principal object. The Japanese colony at Vladivostock has received permission (o erect a crematory. It will be the first cremutory in the empire. Japanese merchants have been coming to Russia in constantly increasing numbers recently with a view to closer commercial relations. Two or three partics who have been well received by Russian authorittes and business men are now in Moscow. All the signs at present point to more cor- dlal relations between the two empires, for the present at least. As a counter offer (o ners, the St. Petersburg Horse Car com- pany offers not only to build the palace bridge, but to conetruct an underground eleotric line under the Nevsky prospect. The city is at law with this company. 1t is believed that if Mr. Verner does not re- celve the franchise the city will eleetrity the tramways itself. The Westinghouse Blectric company is figuring on this as- sumption and it ls also studying the situ- ation at Moscow. The church in memory of Emperor Alex- ander 11, which is being built on the spot where he was assassinated, seems to be pro- gressing toward completion at last. The exterior and interior walls are finished and are being decorated. The gllded and porce- Iain cupolas have long been finlshed. The interior promises to be equally rich. Mo- siaic work will abound.

R. Merriam, director of the census, was made public today by the sec- retary of the interior, to whom it is ad- dressed. Speaking of the prospect of meet- ing the legal requirement for the comple- tion of the four principal reports by July 1, 1902, Mr. Merriam says “The work of tabulating the returns and results of the field work of the enumerators and special agenfs of the twelfth census has progressed With reasonable celerity. The law provides thit the four principal reports shall be placed in the hands of the public by July 1, 1902, aud this require- ment has rendered it absolutely neceesary to maintain a olerical force adequate to complete the work within the prescribed period. The statisticians made estimates of the time needed to finish the particular branch assigned to each of them. The plans %o submitted have been greatly interfered with owing to the ab- sence of clerks from duty owing to sickness or annual leave. It was hoped by Novem- ber 1 a large number of employes could be dispensed with, but Inasmuch as the work has been retarded owing to the difficulty of maintaining the clerfcal force at its max- imum, it is not likely that there will be any material reduction untll after the first of the year. The officlals of the office be- lieve that their allotted task will be com- pleted in ample time." The director gives a list of prosecutions for violation of the law in connection with the census work, saying of them “It was hardly to be expected out of the large number of agents employed in tho fleld work—about 55,000 in all—that there would not be some who would prove in- competent and unfaitbful to duty. The di- rector has endeavored to enforce the census act to the letter and through the assist- ance of the attorney general has proceeded against all offenders.” The report includes detailed statements from the different chiefs of divisions in the burean. S. N. D. North, chief of the man- ufacturing division, reports that the work of his division is rapidly drawing to com- pletion. Mr. North says: This office has secured from cotton producers, cotton exchanges, cotton fac- torles and cotton mAnufacturers an over- whelming approval of the service rendered by theso reports. 1 am, therefore, led to recommend that congress pass a joint res- olution authorizing and instructing the cen- sus office to make a similar canvass of the cotton ginnerles annually Under its present organized system of machinery this office will be able to pub- lish this cotton report as early as the month of May or June in each year, or three to four months in advance of thelr possible publication through other agencies. The commercial advantages resulting from these earlier, more accurate and detailed statistics as to the volume of the annual cotton crop are too obvious to be further dwelt upon.” e Adolph Bluner, Grand Mound, 1a., writes I bave used Foley's Honey and Tar in my family and think it is the best cough cure on the market.

We have our duty to perform. It is to give these people, for they are ours now, all that we are capable of giving them. It has been argued by some members of our church that because the Roman Catholic church is establishea in that country we have no business there.

Tt was the one husky little Badgers simply toyed with the glant Gophers from Min- nesota and defeal them by a score of 18 to 0, every point being made | first half of the game. The Gophers are laid away back about even with Nebraska, for although early in the season they defeated the Cornhuskers, later developments have changed the relative standing. Wisconsin defeated Nebraska 18 to 0, and Captain Curtis said after Saturday's game that tho little men from the west were a harder nut to crack than the big men from the north. The Padgers simply ate Minnesota up making three touchdowns and a safety in thirty-five minutes’ of play, while with Ne braska they fought the whole of the seventy minutes for a similar score. Bndgers Let Up the It was plain that the Badgers let up in the second half and did not try hard to score, although they would have doubtless have done so if the opportunity had come along easily. They had fought hard at first for that victory and against their big opponents, who welghed easily twelve pounds heavier to the man, It had been a real task to do what they did. So Coach King said that if they would just keep the Gophers fighting during the second half that would be enough. That's what they did, keeping the ball always in Gopher territory, but never attempting to run it much. In fact, five times did’ Driver kick on the first down, without even attempting to have the ball carried. The other feature is that the only other Togical claimant for western foot ball cham- plonghip honors, the wacflgan team, will have an opportunity to compare with the Badgers, although there Is no game be- tween them. Saturday the Wolverines de- feated Chicago, 32 to 0. Thanksglving day Wisconsin plays Chicago. -~ Will they do more or less against Stagg's pupils? That is the burning question, for everyoue dis- likes to have the season end with two champions, alleged or real. Meanwhile Nebraska has beaten Kansas by a good, decisive score, but the Corn- huskers deserve every censure for allowing s0 weak a team to cross their goal line. Drain, quarterback and general star, was again the bit of the game. His develop- ment in three years' play has been phenom- enal.
