A Bad showing for the Kolbiteg.

Mr.. Kolb, the gubernatOrial candidate
in Alabama of the opponents of the regu-
lar democracy, might as well withdraw
from the campaign. He has been beaten
twice for governor and is certain to be
beaten again, The publication of the well
substantIated story that the electors Of
his party in the last national campaign
agreed, if elected, to cast their votes in
the electoral college for Gen. Harrison, in
the event that Gen. Weaver had no
chanceof being elected, and that, too, with
Mr.. Kolb's consent, pretty effectually de-
stroys his chances for success.
Mr.. Kolb's following is made of sorehead
democrats, who are called Kolbites, and
populis and republicans. These sorehead
democrats are the foundation upon which
Mr.. Kolb's candidacy rests. AT heart
they are democrats, and they have fol
lowed Mr. Kolb because they had a
grievance against the Democratic party
They have no sympathy for the republi-
cans or the populists, and now that they
have been informed, upon what appears
to be the most reliable authority, that at
the last national election they We're sold
out to the republicans, with Mr. Kolb's
consent, they are likely to quietly abandon
his standard and let him look wholly to
his populist and republican friends for
support.
Neither the popuists nor the republic
cans have any particular regard for MIR.
Kolb. They have been supporting him
because with him as a leader they hoped
to defeat and break up the Democratic
party of the state They are Quarreling
among themselves, however, and their
quarrel brought to light the story which
promises to work the political dostruc-
tion of Mr.. Kolb and the combination
that supports him. From present APP
pearances the regular democracy will
win an easy victoIY next Angust.

The PopuIist Programme.

There is some speculation as to the
programme of the pOpulist Of this state
for thegubernatorial campaign. \ runor
that has obtained some currency is that
prominent prohibiriouist viii be asked TO
accept the popuist nomination for COVER
nor, and that q prohibition plank will be
put into the popuiist platform.
II would be impossible for the populists
to make a com oinati0n with the prOhl-
bitiouists There are a good many pro-
hibiJiouists in the state, and, as ru!e,
they are influential in their respective
counties. The great ma lority of them,
however. are stanch democrats, and under
no circumstances could they be induced
10 vote against the Democratic party.
They could not be led into joining hands
with the populists by the offer 10 nomi-
nate a prohibitionist for governor, be
cause they know the TOpulists are not
prohibitionists and would not carry pro
hibition into effect, if the proposed COM
biuation should be made and should sue
coed in getting control of the governor
ship and the legislature. They would
much rather depend upon the Democratic
party for prohibition than upon the pop
ulistparty
The prohibitionists are not so numerous
nor so aggressive as they were few years
ago. There are still a great many voters
who believe in prohibition, but the most
Of them have reached the conclusion that
local option promises better results for
prohibition hap a general prohibition
law.
The populist party is not as strong
now as it was at the last guber-
Material election. Many who were
pOpulists two or three years ago
are democrats now. They have
became convinced that the populist party
has no future, aud they no longer believe
in its doctrines. 1t is true that the popu-
lists in some counties still make show
ing Of strength, but they do so because.
they do not like to admit that their party
is practically disorEanized and is gradu-
ally dwindling away. This talk of
their purpose TO capture the prohi-
bitionists shows their weakness. There
is no better evidence that a party has
seen its best days than an effort to hitch
itself to some other party. An effort of
the populists to make the prohibitionists
lift their party into prominence and
power would be a failure The two par
ties are not in accord. There is no com
mon ground upon which they are likely to
stand. In the coming campaign the pop
ulist party must fight its own battle if it
fights at all.

non,t e Ahroad to d.

Last week an eX-corouer of New York
died at Mentone, France, and the dis
patch that brought the news mentioned
that the landlord of the hotel in which
the death occurred had attached all the
property Of the deceased on the premises.
Later dispatches have explained the at
tachment.
Itappears that in certain countries Of
Europe, and in France especially, a hotel
keeper, according to custom, is permitted
to levy tribute upon anybody who is so
unfortunate as to die in his house The
hotel in which a tourist dies is supposed
to have sustained damages by the fact of
the death, and the landlord NAV
levy upon anything belonging to the
estate for a sum sufficient to return
ish all that part of the house formerly
occupied by the unfortunate person. If
the.deceased had enjoyed the run of the
whole house, his heirs must refurnish the
whole house and if any of the guests of
the house have been greatly shocked by
the circumstances Of the death. they may
bring suits for damages against the
corpse or its heirs.
Onuet OIuludTS circumstances, and
when attended with good luck, it costs
an American tourist four times as much
to die in France as he could die for at
home; still there are Americans who ap-
parently disregard the difference, and
die in France. 1t may be, however, that
when Americans go abroad in search of
health they seldom take into cousidera-
ton the fact that they may find death in
stead

A Sensational Trial.

1t is regrettabe that the newspapers
are required to give such full reports of
cases like that now going on in Washing
ton, in which Miss Madeline Pollard is
plaintiff and Congressman Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, is defendant 1t is breach
of promise suit, in which damages are
claimed, but it differs greatly from ordi-
nary suits Of that Bind. The complaint is
highly sensational and the defense is
equally so, the testimony on both sides
being of scandalous character.
It might be said that the newspapers
could easily suppress the testimony There
are many that would gladly do so, but
their readers would not be satisfied They
would secure the papers that gave the
fullest reports of the trial. Congressman
Breckenridge has a national reputation.
He is one of the most brilliant men in pub
lie life, and his reputation as an
orator is known in every state In
this trial not only his name, but the con-
tinuance of his public career is involved.
If the suit goes against him, not only will
he be ostracised by those whose
good opinion is dear to him, but
he will be forced to retire from public
life. 1t is admitted that he cannot be
reelected to congress if the charges
made against him by Miss Pollard are
true. Even at this stage of the case there
is strong public sentiment against
him, not only in Washington, but
also in his congressional district.
The sympathy of the public is with the
complainant. and even if he should sue
coed upon techinal grounds in winning
the suit the finger of scorn would be
pointed at him unless his defense showed
him to be the victim of designing
woman.
The trial, therefore is one in which
there is much more than ordinary inter
est, and the newspapers cannot well
avoid publishing the leading features oft.
Miss Vanderburg, weaver in Pater-
son, n. j., factory, declined to 80 out on
strike when requested to do so by a
strikers committee. Il need the money
to support myself she explained. "Oh.
that's all right" spoke up a young com
mitteemGn, ''you needn't be uneasy about
your support; you quit work and I'll
marry you right now The generous
offer, however was declined At the
same time, it might be good policy for a
lot of Boston girls to 90 down to Paterson
and get jobs in the factories while the
young men are so anxious to have the
strike continued,

Lafay atte's Amusing Error.
