t Many men honest and intel-
ligent have affiliated with the
Populist party since 1890, but
there is a cog loose somewhere
with those who do it from
on.
One man who thinks is worth
a hundred who don 't.
Try a ten-cent ad in the Yellow-Jacket
and watch results.
You'll be surprised.
If you ' like the tone of the
Yellow-Jacket why not help
us along by sending up a club?
The Democratic party is a
magnificent party to howl re
form when out of power.
It strikes us that the Demo
crats once promised us tariff re
form, and they gave it to us
in the neck.

Some one wants to know
when the tweetieth century will
begin. It will begin as soon as
the nineteenth is ended, which
will be at midnight, December
31st, 1900.
The trouble with; the Demo
cratic party is the ratiof prom
es is too great to its perform
ances about 1600 to 1.
It is apparent to every intel
ligent person that Bryan- has
overdone the thing. Many of
his ardent followers are getting
tired of his talk and are want
ing him to go home aud prac
tice law.
The U. S. Senate is one of
the places that a man can not
fiddle himself into even with
Tennessee mountain tunes.
Remember that this 4 'new de
mocracy" that you hear so much
about is nothing "but the same
old hook with the bait'changed.
Judge- the Democratic party
by what it has done; not by
what it promises to do. 'By
their fruits ye shall know them."
It is now in order for some
desperate Free-Trader to charge
that the recent storm in New
England was due to the Dingley
Tariff law.
- An exchange says that Sena
tor Hanna did not kiss the Bible
when he was sworn in as Senator
No. But he fondled the G.
W. hatchet on his gold fob
chain which answered every
purpose.
The Washington Democrat
says many people are so busy
observing church rules that they
haven?t time to practice religion.
John Dainm, of Va. , was mar
ried last week at Point Pleasant.
A letter from his folks at the old
home contained this endearing
expression.: "Please accept con
gratulations of the whole Daram
family."
'the Bryan Democrats of Bos
ton, Mass., polled less than 3,000
votes out of a total Democratic
vote of 42,000. The "new de
mocracy" is getting on its old
clothes.
The Democrats are slowly
working themselves up to a
condition of recklessness -sufficient
to attempt them to make
another campaign on calamity
and free silver. V-
It is not surprising that Gov.
Russell should indignantly re
sent being represented as trying
to defy the JJ.l S. Supreme
Court. No man likes to be
made to pose as a fool.
The Democrats . and Populists
of Alabama are preparing to
run separate State tickets, and
the Democrats and Populists at
Washington are preparing to go
the whole, hog together Har-.
mony did we understand yojii to
say?
The man who sits on the out
side of a limb and saws it off
jhttsnt got much sense, but he is
a phylosopher conjpared with
the fellow who wanfethe Demo
crats given ' one more chance"
with the hope that thej will car
rv out the great things they
promise.
A joint convention of the bi
tumenous coal miners and oper
ators recently resulted in an ad
vance often cents on the ton
aud an eight hours labor-day to
some 200,000 soft coal miners.
But you needn't expect Demo
cratic papers to note such. items,
as this. ;: Their business , is to
tell about the Fall River cotton
mill troubles. 1
The word has gone out that
the Democrats must not talk
"free silver," "sixteen to one,"
or the "money question" during
the coming campaign, but that
tlfe battle shall be fought on
strictly local questions and state
issues. What's the matter?
Isn't a question which is good
enough for Bryan in season and
out of season good enough for
the un terrified hosts? We shall
see what we shall see.
Senator Butler's paper, the
Caucasian , says that if the free
pass business is broken up the
Democrats and Republicans will
have a mighty hard time get
ting enough people together to
hold a State Convention.. jDoes
the Caucasian mean to insinuate
that the Pops are not going to
hold any convention, or does it
mea-ii that thev are groins: to
take to the "middle of the road"
and walk ?
An exchange speaks of the
"Passing of Bryan -' as a matter
of news. Why, Bryan has been
"passing" for several years ;
' 4 passing' ' round over the coun
try making free silver speeches ,
which he only recently discover
ed were popular with Demo
crats ; "passing " the hat for pay
for such speeches ; and then he
ran for President and the peo
ple "passed" and Bryan, has
been "passing" ever since.
