Crosses of Honor-
Here-are the five bits of metal
offered as rewards for individu
al bravery on the field of battle,
and there is hardly a man in
the countries they represent who
( would not gladly risk his life
.for one of them." Of the great
powers of Europe, England was
(the last to , institute a special
decoration on the battlefield.
During the Crimean war the
Victorian cross was instituted.
It consists of a maltose cross of
bronze and is of little intrinsic
value, yet some of the bravest
deeds in history have been done
for this bit of gun metal. ... The
Legion of honor was instituted
by the great Napoleon. Unfor
tunately, this order has now
fallen into disrepute, until it is
now facetiously referred- to in
France;as "The Legion of Dis
honor." But the traffic in the
order in no way detracts from
those who were on its roll be
fore the third Napoleon. The
Order of the Iron Cross was
founded by Frederick William
III., of Prussia, during the
time he visited England and
helped to form the combination
which ruined Napoleon forever.
Until 1870 it was purely a re
ward for - bravery in war, but
since has become a civic as well
as
military decoration. The
oldest of existing decorations
for bravery was instituted by
the Empi'ess Maria Theresa, of
Austria, in 1757. The order
consists of a gold cross with the
arms of Austria and the word
"fortitudini" (for valor) in
scribed .on 'it. It has been re
served for higher ranks in the
Austrian army, and thus lacks
the democracy of the Victorian
cross. The highest order in the
Russian army is Jthat of St.
George, instituted by Catherine
II., who, in spite of her many
faults, had a great admiration
for braver v. New York World.

Want's to Know What
Has Done with the
Populist Pakty.
he
I Hon. Thos. E. Watson, of
Georgia, in the People's Party
paper says :
l some zealous believer in
Mary Ann Butler tell us what
that eminent fraud has done
with the People's party?
; Where was it during the re
cent election? What tigure did
'
it cut? What was its vote?
In the off year election after
the presidential year of 1892,
the People's party was intact,
well organized, aggressive ;
coherent and effective. It poll
ed nearly two million Populist
votes for Populist candidates
running upon Populist plat
forms. From North to South it -was
united ; from East to West it
knew but one doctrine and fol
lowed but one flag.
Where is the party now? 1
Where was it during the re
cent elections? " I
Who can say it is intact, well
organized, aggressive, coherent
and effective? - I
Who can say it cast two mil
lion votes? Who can say that
, i i j i . i. j i i i -
it, is uiiiteu, tnat it nas out one
doctrine and follows one flag?
W!s it a Populist victory in
Nebraska? By no means. The
Democratic name covered the
whole thing ; the Democratic
colors waved over all the troops ;
and a Democratic' politican got
the only office that was at stake
the Supreme judgeship. The
Pops got two miserable little
college regencies that would
not be called offices anywhere
on earth except in a convention
where fusion tactics had made
lunatics out of sensible men.
Did the populists win any
glory in Kansas? By no means.
They went down in the silence
of common defeat because the
fusion between Democrats and
Populists was a mere corrupt
bargain for the spoils of office.
In Colorado how was it
Colorado, where a few years
ago a Populist Govenor ruled
triumphant? Democrats and Re
publican united and routed the
Populist who had been torn in
to factions by the fusion of
1896.
Our party in 1892-4-6 was
growing in Virginia and Mary
land. Where is it now? Gone.
Not a greasy spot left in the
pan. -
In Kentucky how was it?
Brave Joe Barker led the middle-of-the-road
fight and did it
brilliantly. But with Butler
knifing him at the same time
he was powerless to make head
way; Iowa how is it the home of
Jas. B. Weaver? Less than six
thousand Populist voters re
main, the others are Democrats
in name, in policy, in principle
and in organization. As Pop
ulist they have absolutely no
separate existence. The Dem
ocrats have, swallowed them
"bodaciously."
So it is all around. A mag
nificent party of two million
men has disappeared. It has
been swallowed up as though
the earth had opened and taken
it in. Such annihilation has
not been known since the earth
quake of Lisbon.
Will some zealous Butlerite
please tell us what that eminent
fraud has done with the Peo
ple's part-? Has he loaned
it out?
We trusted him with it; it
was in good condition when he
took it, and now we ask him :
What have you done with
it?- i
You are the last one that had
it. We want you to account
for it.
In 1S1j2 and 1894 we could
turn to the official returns of
the election and tell to, a man
how many Populists voted.
Can you do it now? How
many Populists voted in Ne
braska to give that Supremo
Court judgeship to a Democrat?
You don't know and nobody
on earth does know.
How many Pops, voted
in
Kansas?
You can't tell and nobody
else can.
TT T .
now many rops. voteu in
Ohio, in Kentucky, in Iowa, in
Virginia; J
You don't know, and nobody
else does.
A." 1 '
iuu are cnairman oi a once
great party, are you not?
How many voters arc in vour
party now? . .
ou can't' answer.
You miserable failure : and
fraud, you must go back to the
tables of 1892 and 1894 before
you can even guess at the Pop
ulist vote, l ou can t, to save
your worthless life, tell what
the strength of your part' is to-
lay.
You are a nice fellow for
Chairman, arn't you? You're a
good pall-bearer that's about
what you are. -
There's just oneway to re
surrect the Populist party : Re
organize from the ground up,
and rigidly exclude from con-
rol every leader tainted with
usioii the people are all right
it's the corrupt leadership which
las hurt us.

Importations of Coffee'.
That Americans are invete
rate coffee drinkers is attested
by the fact that during the first
nine months of the present year
this country imported not less
than 580,052,921 pounds of cof
fee, valued at $58,433,892.
Of this enormous aggregate
414,481 ,407 pounds came from
Brazil, comprising, the cheaper
grade of coffee known as Rio.
More expensive grades were im
ported from other parts of
South America and from Cen
tral America. Of Central
America coffee some 42,000,000
founds were imported into this
country during the first nine
months of the present year.
Coffee from the East Indies
and the Netherlands was im
ported during this same period
to the amount of 14,054,168
pounds. From these figures
it is evident that Americans are
strongly wedded to the coffee
drinking habit. Atlanta Con

discrimination made in the rule
between white men and colored

Ihe disfranchisement of. the
larger half of the population in
South Carolina has been severe
ly criticized in many Northern
Journals which at the same timo
insist upon making quite. as-
harsh and stringent refutations
with respect to naturalized cit-

ire inconsistent. The experi
ment made during the period of
reconstruction in South Caroli
na, when the negroes by their
dominance at the polls were
masters of the situation aud
gave signal proof of their ina
bility for self-government goen
far to justify whatever self-pro

been taken to confirm white
