New York and the Convention.

Democrats could hope tn gain very little
by going West. To select ST. Louis would
lose half its force, because it would merely
be following Republican footsteps. To come
East would mean a good effect upon New
York, New jersey, Maryland and the vir-
ginas, which will be needed very badly
next year in their old Democratic line.
Some of the New York advocates base
their arguments upon the commercial BEN
eft that would result from the presence Of
the convention, but Democratic leaders will
give no attention to such trivial considera-
tons. They wantthcconventionhe held where

IT is estimated that the savings banks
deposits alone in the nine northeastern
states (Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont Massachusetts. Connecticut, Rhode
Island, New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania) amount to more than dou-
BILE the entire stock of gold coin in the
country; and the money and cash items
of all the banks and trust companies in
these nine states make an aggregate
seven times as great as the entire stock
of gold coin in the country. Add to this
the several billions of interest paying
bonds and mortgages on western and
southern railroads, real estate, factories,
mills, mines, waterworks, gas works, tel
egraph and telephone lines. bridges and
other productive properties, and reflect
that the Interest on them is payable in
money and money values-and it is easy
enough to understand why the east favors
the gold standard. The east is. in favor
of limiting our money stock to one metal
because its enormous wealth in money
aud money values is twice as great W b en-
estimated in one metal as when estimat-
in two. The decentralization act of 1873
makes its stock of money, stock, bonds
and mortgages immensely more valu-
able than it would be if that act had moi
been passed, and it is opposed to undo
ing a measure so advantageous to itself
and so oppressive to the rest of the

"SENSATIONALTSM."

The daily Capital which is perpetually
jumping around like chicken with its
head off about the reconsideration" of
the STATE JOURNAL, is responsible for
terrible stories about mob violence in
Topeka which yesterday appeared in
every metropolitan daily in the United
States from New York to San Francisco.
A bulletin was sent out Wednesday
night from the Capital Office making the
announcement that mob was moving
on the Medical college. and adding
lurid details which were not true This
bulletin, flashed all over the countr
caused night editors to order thousands
of words about the 'mob in Topeka"
The trouble with the Capital is that
its abuse of the JOURNAL for being "sen-
sationaP' is merely claptrap and subter-
fuge to hide the fact that the morning
paper seldom gets any news.
Whenever it has an opportunity it
outdoes the Sunday Sun in sensationalism
and headlines. In this case it has done
considerable injury to the town because
it not only published highly colored re-
ports itself. but telsgraphed them all
over the United States

CONGRESSMAN CALDERHEAD and Blue
seem to be the only advocates of q gold
standard remaining in the Kansas dele
cation. Representative kirkpatrick has
seen the error of his way aud has come
around so far as to declare for the coin
age of the American product. There is
hope for Blue yet. He modified his
speech very much during the campaign
when he thought the advocacy of the
gold standard would endanger his cleo
ton. At present, however, he enjoys
the distinction of being mentioned by the
eastern press as the only gold standard
member from Kansas. They don't seem
to have discovered Calderhead. Surely
he hasn't weakene too.

c. P.HUNTINGTON'S COLONY
Will Populate Northern California With
Poor New England Farmers.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia dispatch from
San Francisco says that Coils P. Hunt
ington is Interested in big scheme of
colonization of 1853, 900 acres of rich land
in northern California.
The land Is now practically untitled, as
less than 800 people are on it. The plan
is to cut it up into farms of twenty and
forty acres each, one farm for each col
onist.
Two main features of the plan-the
erection of houses and the distribution of
any surplus derived from the sales of the
property among the purchasers of the
first 10000 acres-were, it is said, par
ticularly insisted upon by Mr.. Hunt
ington. The idea is not to make money
for the promoters, but to get settlers for
the sparsely'inha bited regions of northern
California. 1t is believed that hundreds
of poor farmers ekeing out scanty ex-
istence on unproductive and overworked
New England farms will be glad to start
life anew in this country, which is as
fertile as any on earth. 1t is calculated
that in ten years 100000 people will be
living on the 1913, 600 acres.
Houses. schools and churches will be
built for the colonists, but they will not
be scattered. Each section of 10000
acres will have its group of buildings
and will be a township.

will go to him by reclamation, and I am

THE STATE JOURNAL is today able
through its Washington correspon dent
to present its readers with a detailed
history of the now celebrated Waller
incident as obtained in an interview with
Paul Bray, the step son of the imprison-
ed ex-consuL The story is we'll calcu-
lated to arouse the Indignation of every
lover of liberty aud justice. Of all the
shameful things charged up to the pres
emil national administration, this is the
most outrageous. That an American
citizen should be thrown into foreign
prison without any probable cause and
be allowed to remain there without an
investigation is bad enough, but that this
should occur not only without the pro-
test of the American representative in
Madagascar, but by his connivance, can
hardly be realized. The treachery of
Ambassador Bayard becomes insignif-
cant compared with this.
