1.-THE Democracy, though, will not
get off so easily. Taking all the states
together the silyerite Democrats out
number the other Democrats, but the
other sort have the brains, the dis
cipline and the courage. These quail
ties beat mere numbers in politics,
war, and wherever else they come in
conflict. In all the western and
southern states which hold conven-
tiOns to nominate state officers, there
will be a fight between the two Demo-
cratic elements, and some Of the
states which have no officers to NOM
mate may get up conventions to fight
on silver and nothing else. These
wrangleS and this great expenditure
Of energy will hurt the Democracy for
the time, and perhaps for the whole
campaign, but it will have no effect
on the national convention. In the
convention the Silverite Democrats
will easily be beaten as they were in
1888 and 1892; straddling platform
will be framed, and a man will be put
up for president who will, if elected,
veto every silver bill that gets within
his reach.
But what will the free-silver Re-
publicans and Democrats do when
their parties turn them down in the
conventions? They will do as they
did in previous presidential years.
Some will sulk and Others will buster,
but all, or nearly all, will vote the
ticket. A free silver Democrat can
gain nothing by voting for an anti
silver Republican; a 16 to l Republican
will not help his cause by steering out
from the Republican scylla and get
ting swallowed up in the Democratic
charybdis. There will be free silver
party, of cOurse-that is there will be
if that Sibley-Stewart-Jo coterie OF
cranks hang together until next year,
and there will be POpulist party,
but these cabals will have no more
effect on politics in the conditions
which will prevail next year than will
the Prohibitionists, the woman suf-
fragists or the single-taxers. In order
to make his vote count and to keep up
a living connection with things the
Republican and Democrat will have
to 60 with one or the other of the two
parties which will stand on the same
side of the vital question Of the day,
and he will be exceedingly likely to
stick to his own"

Silver Prospects From a Republican
Standpoint.

st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat
"In the convention, yes! At the
polls, no, Both Republican and Demo
cratic free-coiners will make their
threatened demonstration" in the
national conventions. There is no
room for doubt on this point. In both
conventions they will be beaten. This
point also can safely be considered
settled, From this time onward to
the conventions the Republicans will
have no trouble with the question, for
when the league at Cleveland muzzled
the delegates from the mining states,
all chance for disturbance in the
Republican ranks on the question this
year ended. In the convention the
crushing process will be substituted
for the muzzling and the silver sin.

A Rainy Day.

EDITOR V0ICE:-This is one of the
farmers days of rest. Natures god is
letting down a fine rain. Bleeding
Kansas will be blessed with the great
est corn crop in her history. Enough
can be raised in one year to carry us
through two or three dry seasons, pro-
vided, however, that we could keep it
within the state, but unfortunately
for the farmer, man is not as kind TO
man as his Creator. The corn crop
will have to be sold as soon as it is
ready for market to pay interest and
other obligations. The farmer IF
this country is fast becoming like the
farmer of EurOpe-the legitimate prey
of dOmineering ariStOcraCy which iu
Europe keeps a standing army ready
to enforce any demands made upon
the people, however tyranical such
demands may be, and it will not be
long before the same thing will be
done in this country. We have al
ready the greatest money ariStOcracy
the world has ever seen. What does
it matter if it is not very blue blOOded?
With their money they can buy all
the blue blOOded, aristOcratic, chronic,
diseased, deadheadS Of the world for
their manageable daughters, and
consequently it is only a question of
time until titled aristocracy will be
created in this country. The Ameri.
can farmer has been sold into bondage
the same as his East Indian brother
"a fact that he is fatally slow to re-
alize. His conservatism has been too
great for the welfare Of his own indie
pendence. He may howl and rave for
his constitutional right and cOnstitu-
tiolal money as much as he pleases, it
will do him no good. The liberty
guaranteed him by the constitution
has been taken away from him. The
courts have taken away the right Of
trial by Jury, and the government,
owned as it is by the mOneyed aristOc-
racy, deny him the right to petition
for redress, nothing is left him now
but the choice of perpetual slavery or
open rebellion, and of course he will
choose the first or his reputation as a
conservative would be ruined, mas
much as rebellion against his Oppres-
SOrS is beyond his power anyhow. He
has not even the intellectual power to
organize for self protection. They
may call mass meetings all over the
state and county and through the
body Of the whole people petition the
president Of the United States to call
congress in special session for the pur-
pose Of changing our financial system
for the benefit Of the masses as against
the classes. But that would be trea-
son, which is punishable by death.
That would be too much to pay for
the freedom of your children. They
have no right to expect so much of
a loving parent. Is it not enough
that we work day and'night to keep
the children Of the aristOcracy in
SplendOr, which their stations in life
entitle them to. Let US be thankful
that they allow US to live and labor
for them. Let them have our wheat,
corn, stock and children, so we may
live and be miserable.

SEVENTEEN YEARS

yersary Fittingly Celebrated in Rome.

Rome, March 3.-The seventeenth
anniversary of the coronation Of Pope
Leo XIII. was celebrated to-day with
solemn pomp and ceremony. Pre-
ceded by all the members of the Sa-
cred College of Cardinals, at present in
Rome, the Pope, borne in the Sedia
Gestatoria, was carried from his apart
ments to the magnificent Sistine Chap
ell, where most of the solemnities, at
which His Holiness oificiated in per-
son, took place. About a thousand
persons were admitted to the SaIa
Ducale and Sala Regia, through which
salons the Pope was borne AS His
Holiness appeared he was greeted
with acclamations. many of the specta-
tors falling upon their knees as the
HEAD OF TIE CHURCH
on earth passed along to his devotions.
Diplomats, Knights of Malta, mem
bers of the patrician families and for
eign visitors crowded to the chapel.
Cardinal Vannutelli celebrated mass,
the Pope assisting. After the singing
of the re Deum the procession was re-
formed and the Pope withdrew from
the chapel with the same ceremony
that marked his entrance.
