The Decline of Populism.

The nomination of General Coxey to be Governor of Ohio by the populists does not disturb the , generally accepted fact that populism is dead. On the contrary, the laughable fiasco at Columbus merely emphasized the demise of this spectacular aggregation of rainbow chasers. Any attempt to give their luminous fallacies the potency of any further organized political endeavor will be futile, advent of good times and bountiful crops sounds the death knell of the calamity propaganda. The political tenets of such a party can never find favor with the people except in times of pestilence and industrial depression. Senator Manderson, of Nebraska, very aptly compares the populists to grasshoppers that make their appearance in pestilential times and declares that they will be smothered out of existence by the great prosperity around them. For the speedy annihilation of populism the public must give no small degree of credit to the champions of honest money. There was a time when it looked as if the common people of the entire west were gradually being into the free silver maelstrom. The currency dogmas of populism were captivating to the unthinking mind. The populistic intellect was a most fertile field for the propogation of the idea that the government could make fifty cents’ worth of silver worth a dollar. But there was a startling awakening and valiant defenders of an honest dollar sprang into the breach. The fire of rhetorical musketry in the press was hot and deafening for several months. Sound money advocates piled Ossa on Pelion in the matter of proving that a debased currency meant industrial disaster, and the blatant Ishn.rt-liu j mffi driver: to' cover. The demise of populism and the free silver lunacy must necessarily be coincident. Let them be interred in the same deep grave of popular disapproval.—Times Herald.

Last Friday’s Sports.

A large crowd attended the second day’s racing and sportiDg at the Rensselaer Stock Farm, last Friday afternoon. The two running horse raens, resulted as follows: The first was the pony race, a single quarter mile dash; Silver Tail, Whittaker Bros. -Wheatfield, first, Daisy C. [the dun pony] by Gagnon, of Goodland, 2nd; Plunger, A 1 Robinson, Medaryville, 3rd. The two county race; First Miss Pollard, by Jap Wright, of Mt Ayr; Second; Plunger, by A 1 Robinson; third, P«.p Corn, by Brown, of Morocco. •> $ There was a good game of base ball between Monticello and Remington, which resulted in Remington’s favor by a score of 11 to 10. The bicycle races did not fill, but Lonis Wilcox gave an exhibition race, against time, making an eighth mile in 16$ seconds; and the quarter in 35 seconds. An illuminated bicycle parade in town, in the evening, was the closing perfoirmance of the day. The riders carried Japanese lanterns, some of them five or six in clusters, and the whole effect was very fine.

We are very sorry to hear of Goodland’s disastrous fire, Saturday night, the New Baptist church, two dwellings and contents, Billy Banes’ store room containing a car load of floor and several sheds and a coal house being entirely destroyed. It was only by the greatest of exertions that numerous other buildings were saved. Experience is a hard teacher but her lessons are well learned.
