WATSON YS. BUTLER
TH) Two Populist Leaders Are Passing
Compliments of the Season,
WATSON SAYS POPS DISTENTEGRATING
“Onlv 8»lv»»lon of Party 18 to Kick Mutter
Out,” Say* WaUon—"Watson la Suffer
ing Billions Attack.” Bays Bailer.
Marion Butler and Tom Watson are
havipg a gay time tossing bouquets at
each other. It is a lovely old scrapping
match.
Hostilities were started by an edito
rial which appeared in Watson’s organ,
the People’s Party paper last Thursday
demanding that Marion Butler resign as
chairman of the national populist exec
utive committee. Watson says that But
ler’s resignation is all that can save the
party, and he publishes the following
paragraph in capital letters to give em
phasis to his assertion!
“You cannot put new life into the
party as long as the fear of fusion
throws its shadow upon our future. ’ ’
Watson admits that his party is torn
to pieces and seys that the dissolution
was caused by Butler, and that Butler's
resignation is the only remedy. He
claims that fusion checks the dissolu
tion of the two old parties and hastens
that of the populist party. He contends
that there was never a better time
than now for the populist party to
flourish, but he says that confidence
and leaders are needed.
b ‘ ‘The workers are ready, but not a
furrow will be run unless fusion is
killed too dead to skin,” says Watson.
He then goes on with a two-column
argnment that the only way to kill
fusion is to kill Butler, politically.
When Senator Butler was inter
viewed in Washington on Watson’s
Editorial utterances, he proceeded to
excoriate the Georgia populist in great
shape.
* ‘1 do not care to be drawn into a con
troversy with a man who pretends to be
a populist and yet says he could have
elected Bryan last November, but
would not,” declared Senator Butler.
“I do not think such a person is at
all worthy of serious consideration,”
added the senator. “Certainly he de
serves no consideration as a representa
tive of the people or of the people’s in
terest. At a time when the trusts and
monopolies were combined in opposi
tion to Bryan, when all of them were
linked together in their support of Mc-
Kinley, for any man to have contribut
ed to the success of the candidate of the
money and power trusts, certainly puts
him beyond consideration as a true pop
ulist. Yet Mr. Watson says that by an
act on his part Bryan would have been
elected.
“The situation now is like it was 1
then—the trusts and combines are (
linked together to crush down the ;
people. The populist party is on the 1
side of the people. The man, or the
men. who contribute to the success of
the enemies of the people cannot
claim recognition as having any rights
in the populist party.
“There is just one point on which I
care to take issue with Mr. Watson,’’
added the populist national chair
man. “He says the party is disinte
grating—that it is falling to pieces.
There must be something radically
wrong with Mr. Watson’s vision.
Nothing like the disintegrating pro
cess he pictures is taking place at all
It is notjthe first casejof a man imag
ing neighbors to be suffer
ing from some ailment when he is in
fact the sole sufferer. Mr. Watson’s vis
ion, or his judgment, is certainly awry—
perhaps both The populist party is in
better shape today than it ever has been.
Perhaps this may be due to the loss of
some of the men who, under the guise of
populism, aided McKinley last year; but
from whatever cause, the fact remains
that the party is better, and stronger,
and more a factor in the politics of the
country at large than it ever was--despite
the gloomy picture painted by Mr. Wat
son.”
So the merry war continues. Mr.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla. ■ Cwl
Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hood’s Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

Watson says the party will go to the very
mischief unless the North Carolina senator
is kicked out. Butler, on the other hand,
says Tommie is talking through his hat,
and is jaundiced. It is a right edifying
spectacle all around.
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract: ”1
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvelous in the case
of my wife. While I was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox
ysms of coughing would last tours with
little interruption and it seemed as if
she could not survive them. A friend
recommended Dr. Kings’s New Dis
covery; it was quick in its work and
highly satisfactory in results ” Trial

THE “THREAD” TOOTH.
Women Who Won’t Use Sctesors Will
Have Trouble.
The dentist looked at the incisor
about which complaint had been
made and nodded significantly.
“I see,” he said. “Thread tooth.”
“You do a great deal of sewing,
don’t you?” he said.
“Yes.” she replied in a bewildering
way; “but I don’t see—”
“And you bite your thread instead
of cutting it, don’t you?” interrupted
the doctor.
“I don’t know —”
“Well, I know. Os course you do.
Nothing else could have made this
tooth look as it does. This biting of
thread is the most pernicious thing in
its effect on the teeth that a woman
can do. It is surprising how many of
them have unconsciously fallen into
the habit. It would require only an
extra second to take up the scissors
and clip the thread, but the woman
who’ sews lifts the garment to her
mouth and when those sharp teeth
severs the thread, thereby gaining a
fraction of a minute, perhaps, but at
the same time literally sawing the
enamel off her teeth. Gnawing thread
once or twice a day can not possibly
be harmful, you argue. Probably
not. But when you bite it a score or
more times a day and repeat that
every day in the year the effect is
bound to be seen at last in what I call
the “thread tooth.”
“If it was only the silk and fine cot
ton that women bite it wouldd’t be so
bad. But you don’t stop at anything.
Why, the other day I was in a house
where a woman was sewing buttons
on a child’s shoe. The was
using was little less than a rope in
thickness, but she bit it off, just the
same. Before I went away she said
she would be around to see me pro
fessionally in a few days, as her teeth
had been troubling her. I asked her
which one needed being attended to.
She pointed out the one that served
as scissors, of course. I can’t tell a
woman’s age by looking at her teeth,
but I do know whether she does much
sewing or not. ” —Chicago Tribune.

THE KOMfi TUIBUNE, SATURDAY. JULY 24. I8»7.
"SIR! STOP MY PAPER."
Pertinent Remarks by the Charleston New
and Courier on a Recent Incident.
The Columbia Register published a
letter yesterday from one of its indig
nant subscribers at Graniteville, Aiken
County, saying:
“Sir: Please stop my paper; you are
too cowardly to be honest. I guess you
have sold out to Gonzales, McLaurin,
Ellerbe, et al.”
There was more of it, but this is
enough to show the animus of the
writer. He was dissatisfied with The
Register and indignant because The
Register does not happen to be a parti
san on his side at this time. He charges
cowardice and dishonesty. He
“guesses” that it has sold out to an
impossible combination, and in the
heat of his wrath he says: “Sir. Please
stop my paper,” And his paper was
stopped forthwith and a bill for ar
rtarages was forwarded to him by the
first mail.
This sort of thing is familiar to news
paper men all over the country. We
doubt that there is a single newspaper
which has not, at some time in its ca
reer, received a communication of like
character. It is one of the incidents of
the business, and there is no way to
stop it as long as human nature is what
it is, as long as men wish to use the
newspapers for their own political or
selfish purposes. There is no greater in
tolerance than the intolerance of pub
lie opinion, there is no more intolerant
man than the man who falls out with
a newspaper because it does not agree
with him. It may have agreed with
him for years on every public and so
cial question, and printed his “views”
and exhalted his horn, but an unlucky
day domes when in the expression of
its opinions it runs counter to what he
thinks and feels, and the next post will
bring a hot message: ‘Sir: Stop my
paper,” and the illusion is gone. All
the faithful work and friendship of a
lifetime, all the feeling and sentiment,
all the concessions and conditions that
have been made, are lost. It is very
amusing to a philosopher who takes
mankind as he finds it, but it is not
very creditable to mankind.
The observant newspaper man sees
the world at its best and worst. He has
seen public men and public movements
come and go. Wearing his life out in
the service of others, he has found them
everieady to take the praise, but never
prepared to share the fault or blame.
He sits up at night to eulogize the vir
tues and greatness of some distin
guished suitor jor public favor, and in
the wild hurrah over the battle fought
and victory won he is kept in the rear
with the baggage wagons. He spends
his time and money in promoting the
career of this, that or the other man—
Senator, Judge, public man and private
citizen—and in a moment, when he
felt that his duty to the public required
him to take issue with the apple of his
eye, so to speak, he is brought up short
with the sentence: “Sir: Stop my pa
per. ”
In the light of experience, which we
have all at some time felt, it is import
ant that newspapers should have no
entangling alliances. Os course, they
will be charged with cowardice and dis
honesty—that is to be expected; but at
least they should not be cowardly or
dishonest, and this they need not be
and are not as we know them. There is
a law which punishes newspapers for
libelling men; it would be only* fair if
there should be a Jaw to pnnish men
for libelling newspapers

▲ Bad Tenant For the Southern Landlord.
Hie Religion.
The typical negro tenant arrives at a
new home in a mule wagon or ox c trt,
with a bundle of rags, a frying pan and
a covey of children, and he stays with
a landlord who may have saved him
from destitution by advancing provi--
ious and dry goods only so long as ih a
caprice of the hour dictates, says Lip
pincott's. Land owners who have sunk
into financial ruin by mortgaging their
property have nearly always been
dragged into the slough by the effort to
help their negroes out of it. The crop
made by the average negro farmer is
subject co many contingencies besides
those of the weather. He does not hesi
tate to leave his field at the most crni
ca! season if pleasure callshim; “big
meetings” he can never resist, and
these take place during the important
agricultural months of July and Au
gust, first at one church and then at an
other. After the mules have been work
ing hard all the week in this busy sea
son they are often driven ten to fifteen
miles on Sundays, carrying wagon loads
of men, women and children, long
bright ribbons flying out from the
heads of the female members of the
family, whose hair has been tightly
plaited and bound with cords during
the week in order to produce a holiday
sensation in on ample Psyche knot at
the back and a bushel like roundness
in tront; they appear in fancy waists
and big sleeves, and regale themselves
and their friends with a dinner of fried
chicken, cake and watermelons after the
meeting, rags being good enough to
wear, hoe cake and bacon good enough
to eat, during the week. Lise his Afri
can ancestors, the American negro is
miserable without jollifications and
feastings; if he can have them he will
do a hard job of work between times.
