Thirty years of continued and utter
ly INSCRIPTIONS appeal to the basest
prejudices and passions has brought
a harvest which the Democratic party
does slot enjoy. Itself compelled to
depend on the votes of commercial
cities at the north, it has played the
trickster in this business as long as it
had not the responsibility Of power,
and has cheated the West and South
with promises which Eastern Demo-
Gratis never intended to keep. At last
Western and Southern Democrats are
threatened in their own districts and
States by an opposition which de-
mands free coinage of silver and
more paper currency to the extent Of
$50 per capita, and in order to get it
all into circulation proposes loans on
land and on crops. Nobody can con-
vince Western and Southern Demo
Gratis that if the doctrines they have
been taught for thirty years are right,
the Populists are wrong. If more
money is needed, if it is an intolerable
people, there must be provided some
way Of getting it into the pockets Of
the people. The 5000, 100000 lying
idle in Wall Street does not prevent
the lowest range of prices ever
known. what the Populist Demo-
Gratis of the West and South really
want is deprecated paper, with low
purchasing power, so that prices
must be inflated. AS their own party
is unable to ruin the country in that
way, they threaten to abandon it, to
defeat its most important measures,
and to so over bodily to the Populists.
1t is not pleasant dilemma. Yet it
is only just retriOution for thirty years
Of sha meless appeal to the grossest
ignorance and the basest passions and
prejudices-

Alfonso, king of Spain, is now a lit tie more than eight years of age, and Q
 pompous little chap he is, which is not
 to be wondered at when Spanish eti- quette is considered. His slumbcrs gre watched throughout the night by the
 Monteros de Espinosa, a body of men who for four hundred years have en- joyed the exclusive privilege of guard ing the king CT queen from sunset to sunrise. They are bound by tradition to be natives of the town of Espinosa, and must have served with honor in the army. They lock the palace gates with much ceremony and solemnity ct midnight, and open them again at seven o'clock in the morning. Naturally, Alfonso thinks he is great little man.
