NO POLICY. NO LEADER.

Chairman Clarkson was the only great
Republican leader who appeared in the
convention at Louisville He may be
accepted as a sample Of the spirit, the
cult, which animates and governs the
party to-day. AT any rate he is the only
apparent exponent Of either.

Frye, Dudley Quay, Platt and Wans-

ant.
Heretofore, Mr. Clarlson has an
nounced that his party had lost its great
newspapers; that the college professors
had engaged in the treacherous occupa
tion Of teaching free trade to the youth
Of the country. Now, he announces
from Louisville, that the young men Of
the country have left the Republican
party and become Democrats. Upon
this the Baltimore Sun asks. per-
tinently; "What else does Mr.. Clark
son expect2 Does he expect the young
men TO fight the war over again and
wave the bloody shirt to deal with dead
issues and contend for obsolete princi-
pies; to grope in the past like Ezekiel
in the Valley Of Dry Bonesg II he does,
he will be mistaken. Young men are
progressive and the Republican party
is reactionary. Young men deal in the
present an the fut ure, whilst the non
progressive Republican party is mainly
occupied with the past. Mr.. Clarkson
cannot expect to change the young men,
II he desires them to join the Republican
party he must change the party
There is no other way to accomplish the
coalition"
Both are impossible.
Even II it were possible to win the
young men back to the Republican party.
Mr. Clsrkson could not conceive or con
duct such reaction. He is too lame a
guide. He has neither the mental calibre
nor the moral worth, He is a typical party
man, as the result OF thirty years Of
office holding during which principles
we're forsaken, treasures depleted.

THE many failures occurring In small
country banks throughout Indiana and
Illinois viii not affect actual values to
any appreciable extent. A bank promo
ter by the name Of Zimri Dwiggins has
been actively engaged in establishing a
chain Of banks in small towns on small
capital all connected with parent bank
in Chicago, which, after investigation
was not admitted to the Clearing House
exchange. These banks were all con.
nected and used to sustain each other,
without having, in many cases, sufficient
assets to sustain themselves. Il is a

thing Mr. Bsyard should attend to ought
to be the recommendation of a new man

When the good Quay and Dudley and

piety Such a sanity leadership has not
been seen upon earth since Moses and
Aaron led the hosts Of Israel to the
Promised Land In his speech at the
opening of the convention of Republican
clubs in Louisville Mr. Clarkson ad
mitted that Il was the piety of the Re
publican party which caused it to topple
over last fall The sons of Belial are so
numerous in the land and the Republi-

weary of being a political mummy, and
he has somehow gotten the idea that
the good Mr. Wanamaker, with his
Sunday school, and the good Mr. Quay,
with his Sabbath observance and
the other good gentlemen, with their re
spective moral ideas. are responsible for
it. Let Mr. Clarkson cheer up. Virtue
Is its own reward. IL Is better to be

papers in Denver have long interviews
with Mr.. Wanamaker, with flaming head
lines. Wanamaker has become i'm
mensely popular in Colorado and the
West. All the papers throughout the
state have published editorials as to the
possibility of his being the candidate
of the Republican party for President
in 1896. These papers are unit in
expressing the belief that he could once
more bring the Western states solid into
the Republican party and insure Repub.
lican success in 96. He is looked
upon as the man who could not
be used as play thing in
the hands Of the Wall street
bugs, as Western people claim the
present administration is. The Evening

and has travelled extensively in his own
