George I'ostor reauoily, lias oxjilalnoil that they want to seo what the ropub- Ucans have to say on what Is called Imperialism nnd also what tho dellvor- mice of tho Kansas City convention on the currency will be. "It may bo found," said Mr. I'eabody, "that the delegates to that gathering will listen to reason and that the conservative element Is lu control." This shows that some of the gold democrats are still tinder tho delusion Unit they may bo able to Induce tho Kansas City con ventlon to Ignore free silver. It is strange that such Intelligent men can t see that they are hoping for some thing that Is practically Impossible, As theso democrats nro also opposed to so-called Ininorinllsm. It Is verv likely that they will deciilo to nominate a presidential ticket. In order to keen auvo ..tno i,i.f8hIoiied democratic principles." This may bo a good Idea, for certainly those principles have been pretty completely set aside by the Bry nnltos nml are understood now by very few of the people. But except for this tho movement of tho gold democrats has little to commend it. It can oven add nothing to tlie Interest of the cam paign. lAKUxiyn TO TUB KAST. The republican victory In Oregon ap pears to have convinced tlie Bryan I ton that they have not the ghost of a show OIl the Pacific coast and that their only ,ioni f success rests noon their nhllltv to nmko KnUxH iu tho oast and middle Rtnt,.. The loadlmr eastern oman of that party, the Now York Journal, says: "Tho Pacific states nro for expansion. They have experienced too much benefit already from tho growth of our com merce in-the Orient to look with favor upon a policy of retreat In that quarter, T1,l7 ,M!V" 'l' 'm"?,,t1",, ,,"t0 against Imperialism, but not when suit I Imperialism was represented us tho f"u ,llln nR nntl-oxpanslon It Is evident, therefore, that any piti- dent democratic calculations for tlie coming campaign should leave out of nccount tho four electoral votes ob- tallied In 1MMI In AVaslilngton ami one lu California, If not tho three of No voda." The Journal says that If Mr. Bryan is to win this time he must get at least llfty-tlueo electoral votes which ho dhl not have In lS'.Ml and It figures on tho possibility of his carrying sev U'rnl eastern states, naming mining them New York, New Jersey and Connecticut Tho probability Is indeed, it Is prac tit-ally certain-that tho Bryanlte cam paign will bo most vigorously prose cuted In tho east and middle west, but It Is dillleiilt to understand how thcy can seriously hope to carry any state in those sections on a froo silver plat form, or with a candldato who Insists that free silver at 1(1 to 1 Is still the foremost question. Tho Journal hopes for n platform nt Kansas City upon which tho democrats of New York, New Jersey. Connecticut nnd other slates It names could unite, but Mr. Bryan has distinctly Indicated what tho plat- form must be and It Is safe to say ho will not penult any departure from this. Ho does not propose to allow the national convention to make a dc llveranco which would compel lilin to stultify himself. lie knows where his 1 surest constituency Is and ho also tin dorstntids that It will bo mil lulled with j nothing shell of a stinlghtiurwai'd, tin-, iwtlllled realllrtnntlon of the Chicago i platform. Not to do 1hl would be to placo Mr. Hryan In an npologetlo posi tion that he would ltnd very embar rnnslug In tho campaign. An one of IiIm imwt ardent HtlppofteiM. Mr. Altgold, has said: "The very moment thnt Mr. Hryan consents to modify tho Chicago platform lu any particular, that mo ment he In destroyed. lie would at onco cease to bo the Idol of the demo cratic heart. Ho Is respected for his 1 fdncerlty then ho would bo despised for Ids weakness." Nobody under Htnnds this better than Mr. Bryan. Tho New York Times says: "There Is not a sign or tho nhadow of a sign that V. .1. Hryan Is any more accepta ble to the voters of the oast than he was four years ago." There are good reasons why he should bo much weaker lu tho east now than ho was In 1SSM1 and wo have no doubt that ho Is. MISl'hACKl) CO.N t'lhHXCK. Honesty Is the best policy In politics as well as In business. No party and no political faction can hope to build Itself up or to retain Its power for any length of time by practicing deception upon its own members or upon the public. A striking Illustration of the reaction ary effect of the political conlldenco game Is afforded in the general revolt lu tho ranks of tho local fusion forces since the refusal of the supremo court to reinstate the defunct tiro and police commission. In the last two campaigns waged In Omaha, promises and pledges wore freely made to former policemen that the success of tho fusion ticket would be followed by a reversal of the supremo court decision alllrnilng tho principle of municipal homo rule and expunging from tho charter tho power of the gov ernor to appoint lire tind police com missioners for Omaha. Not only were former policemen and llremon dismissed for cause or laid off for want of funds given assurances that they would be placed back In their old positions, hut many persons who had never served on the force wore enlisted for political work on the strength of prospective appoint ments. While this bunco steering was going on, llipior dealers and brewers were at the same time urged to got into the fu siou bandwagon and square themselves with tho gang or run tho risk of the dls pleasure of the coming power. To lend color to theso bogus claims Governor Poynter himself, although he had al ready publicly declared tliat ho had 110 lawful right to make police commission appointments, was dragooned Into com ing in person to Omnhn to back up tho false premises made by his political lieu tenants. Initially to make a showing of good faith the governor Issued commis sions to four dummies and Attorney General Smyth stood the puppet show up in the supremo court with a groat llotirlsh of trumpets. Every two weeks from tliat day on the fusion bellwethers gave It out con fidentially to all concerned that tho de cision ousting the existing board would be handed down the next Tuesday. Ho lylng on these soml-ollicial tips, a num ber of dupes 011 tlie waiting list had their old police uniforms regenerated and re constructed, while others actually In vested their scant savings in new uni forms which may never be of use to them. Theso people have a right to feel In dignant and outraged at being thus Im posed upon by unscrupulous partisan schemers, who could hardly have oper ated tills confidence game without at least encouragement and support from the state house. At no time could there have been n reversal of tho decision sinco the case -was closed without wrenching every principle of judicial precedent and authority and without producing Judicial anarchy. Tho opposition of tho democrats to the trusts Is as Insincere as their op position to Philippine annexation. Colonel Bryan resigned his commission In tho army to go to Washington and exert his lnlluonco for the ratification of tho treaty that made the Philippines part of the American possessions, and thou began denouncing the president for holding the Islands. 'When asked why ho did not head off annexation by opiKsing ratification of the treaty his answer wns that that might have pre vented him from making expansion a political Issue. Tho democrats have boon likewise howling against trusts and corporate combinations, but when a constitutional amendment giving con gress full power to restrict and repress trusts was presented In congress they voted solidly against It. They do not want tho trusts suppressed or regu lated, because that would deprive them of tho trust as a political issue. Is It not plain tliat the people have no one to look to but tho republicans for any effective trust legislation?

This, too, lu the face of the notable Improvements. Increase In mileage and increase In tint value of the trackage and equip ment. But will tho populist conven tion dare to endorse lu Its platform tho action of the governor In connec tion with tho railroad assessment? Colonel Bryan Insisted on referring to tho Omnhn Boor reception us "a demo cratic nieeotlng." AVheu, however, the republicans protested In advance tliat tiio iiianagoniont wns trying to niako a popocratlc sideshow of tlie, nffnlr hq laid himself liable to bo called un patriotic and a sympathizer with Brit ish Imperialism. One of the leading papers in Havana, commenting upon tho postal frauds, points out tho fact that rascals are to bo found In every country, but also calls attention to the difference between Spain and the United States lu dealing with them.

How ard was altogether too pronounced on tho railroad question nnd could not be trusted to carry out tlie deals between the reformers and tho railroads. As n candldato for congress against Dave Mercer lie will bo harmless and his newspaper gun will be spiked. Governor Poynter evidently had the wrong pointer when he reversed him self and belled his public declarations by Issuing commissions to his pre tender lire ami police hoard.

How Is It pomlhlo to avoid this disastrous ntop, and nt tho samo time renominate Mr. Hryiin? It Is a momentous question for nmbltoim politicians to face.
