Where does Watson come in In the
Now York fusion deal ? Is Watson
BO much worse than Uryan that the silk-
tiled Tammanyltes intend to draw the
line on him ?
1C Mr. Drynn has thirty-six states all
solid for him , what is he diing down
In this CarollnasV If the tiling is ail set
tled , why doesn't he come homo and
begin to prepare ills Inaugural Message ?
Watson's visit ) to Nebraska came dur
ing the very pleasantest season of the
year , lint the Ice he received from his
supposed populist friends must have
made him believe that It was already
mid-winter here.
Mr. Bryan's paper , the World-Herald ,
refers to the proposed Emancipation tiny
celebration at Des lollies as a " 'CnlliitV
barbecue. " Does the Bryan organ ex
pect to attract the colored vote by such
Insulting comment ?
It Is well the popoerats Jubilated early
over the ArkaiiMas election. If they
luttl waited for the complete returns they
would not have Jubilated at all. Even
repudiation Arkansas turns out to be a
disappointment for the repudlationists.
The council combine has graciously
undertaken to relieve the voters of the
trouble of choosing their own repre
sentatives in legislative , county and city
government. The < inestion is , Do the
voters want to abdicate In favor of
such a precious gang ?
Fourth district populists have Insisted
on having a populist candidate for con
gress. Seeing no other wny of secur
ing one , they have put one In nomina
tion by petition. Hero Is a chance for
the democrats to fuse by withdrawing
tlidr nominee and accepting the populist
candidate.
In the language of the stage mum
mers , Watson doesn't care whether
Uryan Is starred or not , lint lie insists
that his contract stipulates that he is tel
l > u featured more than Sewall. If the
theater manager does not live up to the
contract Watson threatens to break up
the whole show.
Don't forget the assessors. Our ah-
Jes-sment laws are admittedly barbarous ,
but administered by etllcleni ami con
scientious assessors they co'iM be en
dured for a time. The assess.- . * ins in *
much , if not more , to. do witli Using
the tax rate than lias the cily council
and the county board.
Now Chairman Jones has it all tk'im-d
out that Nebraska is to go f.ir Urynu
by SO.OOO majority. Where the votes
nrp to come from he carefully refrains
from saying. Hut there are no sane sli-
vorltes in tlie.se parts who want to
wager that Bryan will carry Nebraska
by ao.OOO or by half of 80,000.
Everything wo get in this world htm
to bo imd | for by somebody , Yet the
number of people who permit them-
BL'lves to be fooled Into tlm belief that
they can get something for nothing
without expense to anybody appeara to
bo us- great now as it ever was since
the world's history haa bet-ii written.
The rnmpalgn of education In behalf
of William Jennings Brynn has degen
erated into n campaign of brag mid
bluster. The press bureau nt unUoual
'li'inruY.ilIc ] iendiiinrtcrs | has issued a
bracgadodo manifesto which claims for
Bryan the electoral votes of thirty-six
out of the forty-live states by popular
inajoritic.s ranging up into the hundreds
of thousands. As n specimen brick of
monumental lying this statement beats
ntiything ever produced by Baron Mini-
cliauseu.
The. state of Iowa , for example , Is
claimed for Bryan by . ' 10.000 , when Iowa
Is Just as sunto give McKinley 1M.OOO
as .Maine Is to give .10,000. The state
of Wisconsin is claimed for Bryan by
the blatherskite bureau by I'.O.OOO , when
everybody who knows anything about
Wisconsin knows that It Is safe for
.McKinley by nut less than l n,0 < x .
.Michigan Is placed by these fakirs in
the Bryan column by ; ! 0OiH > and .Minne
seta by ; i."iX)0. ( ) .Michigan has ceased to
be debatable ground. If it ever was de
batable , and Minnesota has recovered
sulllcleiitly from the sliver cra/.e to be
confidently looked to to give from . " ,000
to 10.0CHJ majority for McKinley ami
llobart.
Tlu most colosMil fake in the Bryan
list Is the claim of JJO.OOO majority for
Uryan In Nebraska. The wildest Bry-
anile In the state who has had any ex
perience in Nebraska politics has not
dared to claim the state by.more than
from r ,00l ( to 10KM ( ) , and those who are
conservative are satlslied with persuad
ing themselves that Bryan has a fair
chance to pull his Nebraska electoral
ticket through by a scratch. As a mat
ter of fact the outlook for a MeKlnl y
victory in Nebraska is more hopeful
than a Brynn victory In Kentucky ,
Maryland. West Virginia , or Delaware.
All Ihese border states are of course
claimed by the Bryan brag and bluster
bureau by large majorities , when every
well-Informed politician in the country
knows that they are till more likely to
be counted In the electoral college for
McKiuley than for Bryan.
But the claim-all bureau Is long not
only on electoral votes but on popular
majorities. H modestly gives Bryan a
majority of 175,000 in Texas , when as
a matter of fact he would bo glad to
feel sure of Texas by 10.000. Texas
lias a middle-of-the-road populist vote
of 180,000 that declines to swal
low Sewall and is liable to
spew out Bryan if he gives them
much more provocation. The claim
bureau takes in for Bryan not alone
every southern state , but also every
state west of the Mississippi clear to
1'tigot sound. The only wonder Is , It
has not claimed Bryan majorities in
Massachusetts , Ohio and Maine. Kor
that matter it might as well have
claimed every state in the union and
have done with it.
BFFKCT OS TIIK ll.MLHO.inS.
The fact that the railway Interests
of the country are opposeil to the policy
of currency debasement Is being used
by the free silver advocates to charge
that the companies are exerting an un
due intluence upon their employes. The
presidents of several railroads have felt
called upon to deny uninallledly ] ( this
charge , In which there is undoubtedly
no more truth than in most of the other
statements coming from the leaders of
the popoeratlc element , which is
sparing no effort to incite workingmen
against employers.
The simple truth Is that the railroads
of the United Stales have the most
practical of reasons for opposing the
free silver policy. Hallway men declare
Unit the plunge to a silver basis would
offer the railways hardly any alterna
tive but bankruptcy. Earnings could
not be. materially increased , owing to
the maximum rates tixed by state and
federal legislation , the force of public
opinion and the competition which
would become more desperate as the
roads found it Increasingly dilllctilt to
make both ends meet. Expenditures
would lie greatly Increased , as the re
sult of higher prices for fuel and every
element of equipment , even If wages
remained stationary. Another change of
great importance In case earnings were
wholly received in silver would he the
Interest on gold obligations. Tha ne
cessity of buying gold at a premium to
pay this Interest would eat Into protlts
enormously.
A leading llnanelal journal remarks
that between the upper and nether
millstones of Indexible freight and pas
senger charges , high prices for fuel
and material and the payment of gold
interest on bonds , n frightful dellcit
would stare the most prosperous rail
road in the face at the end of n yeav
under free silver. Manifestly the rail
roads would be compelled by self-pres
ervation to reduce wages. The number
of railway employes In service on .luno
: > 0 , IS ! ) , " , according to the commissioner
of labor , was 78. i,00t ) and the wage
payments amounted to about $200,000-
( MM ) annually , not Including the salaries
of th higher olllelals. This Is a mat
ter , therefore , which most directly in
terests every railway employe and
which lie ought to understand. It is
H kindness lo the men who are In the
service of the railroads to enlighten
them as to the effect that free silver
would have UIMIII the great Interest
with which they are connected and
which Is ( subject lo peculiar conditions
which would prevent It from protecting
Itself , except in reducing wages , against
tile consequences of a debased currency.
Obviously no class of workingmen are
moro concerned in the maintenance of
the exlstjng monetary system than
those employed on the railroads and
it would seem that no man In that
service who undurstands what Is In
volved In free silver , so far as his em
ployment is concerned , can for n mo
ment doubt that self-Interest dictates
that he shall vote against that policy.
Workingmen generally would suffer
from it in having the purchasing power
of their earnings reduced , but they
probably would receive the same num
ber of dollars as now for a day's work
when employed , The railway employe ,
however , would bo threatened with the
additional loss of an actual reduction
in the amount of his wages. Ho would
suffer In earning less as well as In being
paid depreciated money. Surely these
considerations , which are undeniable ,
ought to make the railway employes of
tlio country n unit ngalnst the free and
t'lillmlted coinage of silver.
A JMWKH UltDMt W riVllil
Mr. Bryan grows more audacious and
reckless every time he talks , seeming to
think less nnd less of the Intelligence of
the people. Down In North Carolina he
said that the gold standard "means n
lower order of civilization. " This extra
ordinary declaration was made In face
of the fact that the nations of highest
civilization have the gold standard ,
while the masses of the people In the
silver standard countries can hardly be
classed as civilized , using that term
broadly. How does the civilization ol
China compare with that of ( Jermaiiy ,
or Franco or England ? Compare the
civilization of the laboring classes of
Mexico with tjie civilization of ( lie workIng -
Ing classes of the 1'nlled States. Is
Ciliiratlon promoted and the arts culti
vated In the most advanced silver stand
ard countries to anything like the extent
they are In gold standard countries ? Is
pvblle education fostered in the former
as It is In the latter countries ? Do silver
standard countries maintain great uni
versities , conservatories of music , art
gall"ries anil public Hbraiies , as do tin-
gold standard countries ? Hut it Is need
less to Illustrate the utter absurdity of
Mr. Bryan's remark , because It will be
apparent to nil intelligent people- . The
fact is that his fanatical devotion to the
free silver cat-so is Impairing his com
mon sense and causing him lo make ali
sorts of wild and extravagant declara
tions. Very much of bis talk In the
south shows that he cannot have n very
high estimate of popular Intelligence
there.

Ill one of his speeches Thursday Mr.
I'.rynn said , "Our opponents try to divide
the toiling masses and set the laboring
men in opposition to the farmer , " and
he warned laborers not to desert the
farmers. The truth Is that the oppo
nents of Mr. Brynn assert that the Inter-
eats of these classes are mutual that
.he prosperity of one means the pros
perity of the other. The- republican
party says that the interest of Un-
American farmer is in building up tin
home market and this Involves the fill1-
and constant employment of the labor
of the country at good wages. Mr.
Bryan's panacea is opening the mints :
that of Hie republican party is opening
the mills. Mr. Bryan says that the pol
icy lie advocates will produce panic ,
from which both the farmer and laborer
would certainly suffer. The republic. ! ! !
party proposes to restore confidence ,
bring into active use In developing
productive enterprises the hundreds oj
millions of idle capital , put the army
of unemployed labor at work and thus
increase the consuming power of tin-
people , enormously reduced by the tariff
policy for which Mr. Bryan is in a meas
ure responsible.
The popocratie scheme of currency de
basement promises no benefit to labor.
It would not create any demand for It.
It would simply cheapen the dollar
paid to labor. The necessary effect of
this would be to lessen consumption am'
this would injure the farmer. More than
! )0 per cent of the chief products of
agriculture and the whole of some of
them are consumed In this country. Tlu-
wage earners constitute the great body
of consumers. It is therefore ospontinl
to the welfare of the farmers that laboi
be well employed and well paid. Neitliei
Mr. Bryan nor any other advocate of
free silver lias ever undertaken to shov
that this would be attained under free
silver. The farmer ami the workingman
should stand together for a sound nnii
stable currency as good as the best in
the world.
Every plausible- argument advanced ir
advocacy of Ki to 1 unlimited frecolnag
Is equally if not more applicable to the
ui'liii'Ilcd ' issue of Irredeemable paper.
If it is cheap money that Is wanted
why not the cheapest money ? If silver
Is cheap , paper Is cheaper. If sllve ;
will enable people to repudiate half their
debts , unlimited Irredeemable paper
will enable them to repudiate nearly all
of their debts. But what free silver
candidate diuo come out openly and ad
mit that ho favors paper Hat pure and
simple ?
The Baltimore American Is authority
for the statement thatIt l.s perfectly
safe to count Maryland for McKinley
by L'0,000. Maryland republicans aiv
tills year favored by two factors that
make for their success ( lie strength of
this sound money dmocracy In that state
and thi' revolt of respectable democrat- :
against Oorman and Cormanlsiu. Mary
land will not knowingly huerifieo the
opportunity to make a record for hoiuMty
nnd honest politics by casting Its
electoral vote for McKinley.
For candidates for county commis
sioner ( lie republicans of this county
must put up men of ability and of
popularity. This Is particularly true of
the Third couimlssloner district , which
at best Is close between the two oppos
ing parlies. That district was origi
nally cut out with 1ho purpose of
making it a democratic district. If the
republicans want to keep control of the
county board they must iniiko no mis-
dikes In the men they choose as their
candidates.
Nowhere in the history of the United
States can a counterpart lie found of
tins dully pilgrimages of bodies of workIngmen -
Ingmen , old roldicrs , business men and
trades societies to Canton to pay their
respects to the republican candidate for
this presidency. When we relied upon
wfiat this means , that the visitors him
put themselves to an expense of time
and money to listen to Major McKiuley
anil to shako his hand , the phenomenon
become.s slgnlllcant In the rxtroim- ,

"Tho moment the mints of the United
States are ppcned to the free coinage of
silver , " .nays Mr. Ilryan , " 70,000,000. people
can go out and secure silver , toke It to
the mints and convert It Into money and
use that money to pay taxes and debts
with and for the purchase of property. "
Oh , no they can't. The silver mines are
all owned by millionaires and big corpora
tions , and the people can no more HO out '
and "securu" silver than they can go out
and secure gold or pearls or diamonds.
The silver mine owners would very quickly
put an end to their "securing" If they
bhould attempt it. U la just as much a
crime to " ecare" silver bullion without
giving an acceptable return for It. as to
"secure" JL Jiurje out of another man's sta
ble at midnight. Mr. Bryan's plan of get
ting money Into the hands of the people Is
about as practicable as the suggestion of
the blue-blooded lady who , when told that
the poor had nothing to buy fond with , in

In all the presidential years since 1SCO
the Maine republicans up to Monday had
never been able in the September state
election to lift their plurality above 20,000.
Hut Monday's returns point to a plurality
moro than twice as large as the highest
ever before obtained In a corresponding
election , and It may reach above 2V4 times
the highest previous plurality.
Tills , like the Vermont election , exhibits
nothing less than a political revolution. It
shows again that the republican ranks In
tlie northeast are Impenetrable to the sil
ver attack , while thousands of democrats
have been driven from their party Into the
camp of their old enemy or Into the
woods.
Hut the result Is still more emphatic In
Its verdict for honest money and against
the Chicago platform than even the Ver
mont result. Maine , unlike Vermont , has
long been infected with soft-money Ideas.
So far is this true that in the state election
of 1SSO , when the country nt largo was
strongly republican , Maine was carried by
a greenback nnd democratic fusion. Maine ,
also , unllkf ) Vermont , has In later years
been touched by the populist movement. It
cast a populist vote of 2SSS in the state elec
tion of 1S-J2 and 5,321 In the state election of
two years ago ,
Here , certainly , was the one spot In nil
New Knglaiid whcro the free silver move
ment should exhibit strength If It 1ms any ;
and the Chicago convention recognized the
fact when It put Arthur Si-wall upon Its
ticket. Hut the event proves that free sli
ver has no strength in all this section , and
the disappointment of those who bail been
building high hopes on the contrary uuppo-
sltlon will be bitter In the extreme.
The news will carry now hope and en
couragement to the Hryan opposition
throughout the country , anil discouragement
if not despair to the free silver army.

It may bo possible for the diplomats of
Europe by sheer force of their power to
shield the sultan of Turkey from the Indig
nation of outraged humanity , nnd preserve
Intact his throne , but by no display of their
subtle diplomacy can they any longer do-
cclvo the people with regard to the situation
of affairs In the sultan's domains. All the
world knows of the barbarities of this "as
sassin" of Europe , and all humanity , speak
ing through that "grand old mnn" of the
English speaking people. Mr. Gladstone ,
cries aloud for vengeance. No further apolo
gies can be made for Abdul Homed , and
none will be accepted. Mr. Gladstone speaks
for all when he demands swift punishment
for this extermination of the Armenians.
How long must we wait for it ? Will the
rulers of Europe , all of whom are numbered
among Christian potentates , strip him at
once of the power to perpetrate these crimes ,
or must the world hope on , viewing these
tragedies dally , for the band of God to ren
der futile any further efforts to grind these
few remaining people In the dust ?

The czar's European trip Is being made
very unpleasant for him. Starting from
homo with the memory of having sacrificed
5,000 people on HIP plains ot Moscow , nt his
coronation , ho had scarcely left Vienna when
IjQbanoff , his foreign minister , dropped dead
by his side. And now the smart English
detectives startle the world by exposing an
alleged plot to blow up the czar and bis
wife. Queen Victoria , nnd perhaps ether
representatives of royalty , and , finally , to es
tablish a reign of ( error In London and the
other European capitals. All this Is calcu
lated to make It disagreeable for the czar ,
and to convince him that bo Is on the throne
of his ancestors. It Is said that the czar
has a very nervous disposition. Then it will
not bo helped by his present trip , Such an
unprecedented series of sensations would
break down the strongest man. If long con

on the voyage which carried him around the
Cape of Good Hope to India , thus opening a
new pathway for the commerce between the
Orient and the west , which destroyed old
marts and built up new ones from the Medi
terranean to the Hultlc , entirely shifting the
channels of trade in the European world , and
giving a new direction to Its commercial ac
tivities. The anniversary Is to bo celebrated
