1t is rathcr late to be murmor-

conservatives had timely notice of
tho object and purposes of tho Re-

Join the clubs and participate in
all tho acts and proceedings; then
again they had the right and privi-
logo to form clubs of their OWN and
invite Rcformcrs to Join them; and
lastly they could stay ont altogcth-

ness. 1t seems that the majority
of them have followed the last
course, except attending to their
own business, but it may be part
of their business to confuse tho
Rcformcrs and prevent them from
exercising their privileges and per-
forming their duties. They havo
succeeded in adding Pope, and
made him bolt the track. Other
candidates arc badly .domoralizcd

ACalI for Standing Armies.

A New York newspaper, which
has been untiring in its efforts to
crush labor and its products by es-
tablishing the gold standard, now
argues that each State should have
a standing army in the shape of a
state police "for the preservation of
order and the protection of prop
erty."
This is a hint of the conditions
that will follow the new financial
policy of our money kings, if the
gold standard is to become fixture.
A quarter of a century ago when
we had large volume of currency
and the masses were prosperous
and contented, there was no de-
mand for standing armies. The
sheriffs and their posses, and the
police of the cities and towns were
able to meet any emergency.
But the distress brought upon the
people by the policy of contraction
has reduced millions of toilers from
comfort and contentment almost to
the European level of poverty and
misery, and it is natural that there
should be loud complaints and en-
phatic protests from the victims.
The policy of force is no remedy
for our present evils. Justice is the
only cure. With a just financial
system and just taxation there will
be no need for standing armies.
The way to make this peaceful
and happy country is not to send
soldiers with Winchester rifles
marching through the land. That
method would only create disorder.
The wiser, better plan would be to
return to the financial system under
which there was so much general
prosperity that people were too
busy and too happy to be tempted
into strife and anarchy.

THE WORLD DO MOVE.
Row Newton.s Theory of centripetal Force
Ba Burst De1usion.

Row Newton's Theory of Centripetal Force
Is a Burst DeIusion.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 19.-Robert
Stevenson, member of the5Academy of
Sciences, in lecture before that body
declared that the true cause of gravity
had at last been discovered. Newton's
theory of centripetal force is proven to
be simply delusion as complete as the
Ptolemaic delusion of the motion of the
heavens.
According to the new theory, there is
no need for an ethereal medium to trans
NIT force or energy, as both can be made
to pass through vacuum without any
accompanying matter. The lecturer
stated that the facts stated had already
been for several months in the hands of
Lord Kelvin, president of the Royal So
ciety, and, according to this new law,
any weight whatever, if given horizon
tai velocity near the surface of the earth
equal to 1,036 feet per second, would
never fall to the earth.
He also declared that if the disc of
any weight be rotated free in a hori-
zontal plane with the resultant velocity
of momentum equal to 1,036 feet per
second, the disc would lose all its
weight, SO that the construction of flying
machines is only a question of engineer
ing skill and capital

TO Deceive Populists.

1t is amusing to observe how
largely the republican politicians
are fishing for "free silver" votes.
The word seems to have gone out
that populists, silverties and infla-
toinists ofall colors must be tricked,
if possible, by promises in state and
local platforms. The trick is in the
promise of bimetallism in terms
that pledge the party to nothing in
particular. Everybody, including
even the yellow-h nude gold-bug of
Wall street, favors the increased
use of silver as a money metal.
Nearly all the gold bugs favor also
the free coinage of silver at the
commercial ratio of some % or 30
or 1, provided such free coinage is
sanctioned and supported by firm
international compact in which all
the great commercial countries take
part. Under such circumstances
free coinage would be, perhaps,
desirable.
But the republican platforms do
not tell the silver mem of the West
and South that this is what they
mean. They use indefinite phrases,
juggle with equivocal terms and
hope thus to deceive. In Maine,
Indiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio
the same promises are made in sub
stantially identical language. The
Maine Republicans demand fiercely
ga financial policy not in favor of
recommendation, either gold or silver,
but international bimetallism."
They add the familiar trueism that
call dollars should be of equal val
ue." This is what the Ohio plat
form means when it says. awe ia
vor bimetallism." But what the
true silverite wants is unconditional
free coinage, which means silver
monometallism, and the platforms
are carefully constructed to exclude
that. After all, nobody will be de-
