Hon. Patrick Walsh, tin
new Senator from Georgia,
met with a "ordial nvepth n
fiom his future colleagues,
most of whom have long been
his personal friends.
Senator McLaurin doesn't
fancy the idea of being con
founded with Representative
McLaurin. of South Carolina
who has been ta'king of leav
ing the democratic party to
form a silver party in the
Soul hand West. The Sena
tor is opposed to any such
movement. To use his own
words: "I am a silver man,
but I believe in the mission
and he success of the Demo
cratic party, and I think that
we can settle these disputed
questions within our party
organization.'' That's about
the way most of the silver
democrat feel about it, too.
The largest number of dem
ocratic signatures ever at
tached to a request for a call
to be issued for a caucus
were on that addressed to
Mr. Ilolman, chairman of
the Caucus, asking that a
caucus be held Tuesday of
this week to decide what
should tie the policy of the
party in the House towards
that plank of rhe National
platform which declared that
the tux on State bank cur
rency shoul 1 be repealed.
Representative SwansDii, o f
Virginia, circulated the re
quest for a caucus, as a re
suit of his making a personal
poll of the democrats in the
House on the question of the

that nine-tenths of thedemo

not, however, belong to Reed
and the Republicans. There
are 21H democrats in the
House, and if 170 of them
would remain constantly in
their seats Reed and his o

erless to stop the wheels of

'ompel the speaker to count

In South Carolina the Pop
ulists captured the Demo
cratic organization and elect
ed a Governor, who, though
calling himself a Democrat, is
!a Populist in all but the
name. He has developed the
same traits that have dis
tinguished Populist officials
in other States. Unbending
self will, contempt of constit
utional limitations, a dispo
sition to resort to violence
on the slightest provocation,
unstiut?d denunciation of
courts that refuse to register
his decrees and citizens that
question his infallibility, have
driven whole counties into
insurrection and imposed on
the good citizens of the
State the hard necessity of
choosing between the ele
ments that resist the execu
tion of the laws and a Gover
nor whose temper is as law
less as that of those who re
sist his authority. The trou
hies in the State illustrate
the folly of putting up a
would-be autocrat to enforce
the l.i ws of a republic.
While the Populist in au
thority are thus causing
rows within their territory
the Populist out of office are
contributing all they can to
the cause of anarchy by or
ganizing armies of tramps
and marching on to Wash
ington to intimidate Con
gress into enacting some of
their wildest schemes of so
cialism into laws. To those
men the fact, that Populist
ideas were condemned ut the
last congressional election
counts for nothing. They
imagine that if they :an get

pie will go for' not hing . Cou

A young lady was asked td
parse a ki?s, am! after repeat
ed efforts did so correctly as
billows: "Kiss" is a conjune
tion because it connects. It's
a vei b because it signifies to
act and to beacted upon. It's
a preposition because it
shows that the person kissed
is no relation. It is an inter
jection (at least it sounds
!ik" one) and is a pronoun ba
cause it stands for a noun. Ic
is also a noun, because it is
the name of oculutory no
tion bulb proper and com
mon second person, plural
number, because there are al
ways more than one. In gen
der it is masculine and femi
nine mixed. Frequently the
case is governed by circum
stances and light according
to rule one: "If he smite you
on one cheek, turn the other
also." It should always be
gin with a capital letter, be
often repeated and continued
as long as possible, and end
ed with a period. Kiss might
