The state Committee.

All the harmony that might exist in
the party is held in allegiance pending
the action of the State Central Com
mittee. As long as there is discord
there. discord will exist among the
voters.
Mr.. Mafltt should call d meeting Of
that committee and settle this COM
mittse controversy. Let the new and
the old members go to work in harmo-
ny. Right now this is the only hope
for the party in this State.
The great mass of voters in Mis-
souri, are not going to suffer a repudi-
alton of the Pertle Spring. platform.
Nor are the Democrats going to suf-
fer the expulsion of the new members
of the committee. Neither are the
Democrats going to suffer its State
Central Committee to wear Francis
or a Stone or anybody else's collar.
Men who serve on that committee must
serve the party. not the partisans.
The fact of the business is that the
men who vote for Democratic nOmi-
nees for principle r going to get
together some Of these days in Il State
convention. and then. if this wrang-
ling mas not ceased, there will be a
falling Of heads and q rattling of dry
bones. The State committee Is not in
tended for Il personal machine. Lex

Apropos of the third-term gable
concerning Cleveland-where will the
Democracy find an available Presi-
Dental candidate other than he:
Campbell is no longer a possibility.
The Ohio election settled that. Nor is
German in the line of party promotion.
No sane Democrat would favor Il man
who is the Senatorial creature of the
trusts, and whose state has gone Re-
publican by way of protest against
his political methods.
Carlisle is not an available quanti-
ty. His state has gone Republican.
He is in accord with Cleveland on the
roney question. He is therefore weak
err than his chief. The same thing is
true of Whitney. While he shares
Cleveland's views on finance his affil-
iations with the Standard Oil Trust
and the rank and file of the Democ-
racy would not support a mar identi-
fed with the biggest trust in the world.
Nor is Stevenson, the Vice-President
an available man. He is a ~nonentity.
The Eastern Democrats laugh at him,
and in the West he has no following.
Horizontal Bill Morrison is a fig
ure from the past, and the situation
demands a strong active man of af-
fairs, and not a back number.
No free silver man will get the NOM
ination. and this cuts out Senator
Morgan of Alabama. Bland and
Vest, Of Missouri; Crisp, of Georgia,
and a shoal of other denagogic back
ers OF erankism.
Hill, of New York, cannot carry his
own state, and New York is Il necessi-
ty to the Democrats in order to win
next year. Brice, of New York, has
Presidential aspirations, but his late
defeat in Ohio has rendered him I'M
available, to say nothing of his record
in the Senate.
Secretary Olney is a pretentious
bumbug, and awakes no enthusiasm
in the party. Governor Mathews, of
Indiana, is several sizes too small.
Governor Altgeld, OF Illinois, is too
sympathetic with anarchy, socialism,
and similar dangerous fads.
We do not take much stock IN the
third-term boom; but when you come
to look yer the field, it is plain there
is not a Democratic possibility who is
any stronger than Cleveland. 1t is
this fact which alone gives the talk of
renominating Cleveland any import
ance whatever. Toledo Blade.

An exchange puts it this way: "A
child is born; the NJ. D. gets s15: the
editor writes it up and gets 0. The
child is christened, the minister gets
s.: the editor writes it up and gets 90.
In time the child marries, the minister
gets SO; the editor writes it up and
gets 900. In the course of time the
child now old. dies: the doctor gets
50 to $50; the minister S. the under
taker gets 50 to 800: the editor pub
fishes it and is awarded with 1000.

Negro Suicides bare.

y remarkable characteristic of the
colored population of the city is the
fat that the proportion of them who
commit suicide, who solicit aims OF
free lodging, and who are arrested is
much smaller than among any other
class of people. Colored suicide is a
rarely, and while the officials of the
COrOner's Office admit that there are
some, they a not remember when
they had the last case of the kind.
There are or an average about 125
cases of suicide reported to the Coro-
ner annually. and to these less than
five would be colered. Deputy Coro-
ner Dugan. who has been in the Office
for many years. can remember but a
few cases of cOlOred suicides.
The natural light-hartedness and
sunny temperament of the colOred
people may be given as their grea.
safe guard against suicide. Reverses
and disappointments, which in a more
sensitive class of people would result
in dependency and eventual self-de-
structiOn. are laughed aside by the
negro, VINO habitually looks on the
bright side of life. and manages to
get enjoyment ont of whatever comes
mis- way.
While the mere fact Of being out Of
work does not effect the cOlored peo-
pie enough to drive them 10 suicide.
the evidence of their natural industry
can not be better illustrated than by
making note OF the small proportion
of them who ask aims or seek lodgings
in the city station houses. \ colored
tramp is more of a novelty than a
colored suicide. They are nearly al
ways willing to work at anything
that turns up, and all are, as a rule.

A reporter on an exchange heard

A reporter on an exchange heard a
preacher talk the other day on the
unreliabllity of the newspaper and
their tendency to cXageratc and mis-
represent. The newspaper man then
recalled an incident which happened
over Il year ago. He heard this same
minister preach the funeral of the
meanest mar in the town-a ma who
was noted for being lazy, worthless,
dishonest and generally no account.
Yet this minister referred to him as a
useful. honored and beloved citizen
and intimated that he vas going to a
place where all good people go. We
leave it to any fair minded person to
say who eXagerates and misreprcscnts
the most-this man or the newspapers.
1t is the same in many professions
other than the ministry. Elk.

CIeveIand's Greenback Policy.

1t Is said the President will give a
large space in his message at the
opening of Congress to the advocacy
of the retirement of the greenbacks.
and that he will use all the influence
which he possesses to put that policy
through Congress. Perhaps there is
truth in the report. Undoubtedly he
will, in his message. urge this policyo
He has favored it for the past year or
two. and the fact that Secretary Car
lise advocated it in his recent speech
in Boston shows that it is still popu-
lar with the Administration. Yet it is
safe to say hat this project a get
very little support from Democrats.
Moreover. it is likely to secure small
favor among the Republicans. With
out powerful Republican aid the policy
has no chance to prevail.
Perhaps the issue of g~reenbacks was
Il mistake even as a war measure. \
few Republicans and many Democrats
thought in 1862, when it took place,
that this policy was Il blunder. and
that the Governments necessities
could he met by some of the other
schemes which were proposed. with
out the disturbance and danger to the
finances which the greenbacks would
be SUI to bring sooner or later. In
the beginning the general opinion was
that the ~greenbacks. which at their
maximum amounted to S449, 900, 600,
were to be a war currency merely, and
on the recommendation of Secretary
McCulloch Congress in 1866 author
lied their gradual retirement and can
collation., but in 1868 Congress stopped
further curtailment of this currency.
Subsequent expansions and cOntrac-
lions in its volume brought it to
1916, 000, 900 in 1878, when the contrac-
ton then under way was stopped, and
it has remained at this figure ever
since.
But a generation of acquaintance
ship has made the people SO familiar
with the ~greenback that they want to
hang on to it. They look at the mat
ter in this way: "Why should We give
up a misunderstanding currency
which car not possibly be any better
than gold?'; This is not the correct
view, of course, for the grsenbacks
cost the Government something in the
necessity for keeping gold on hand
for their redemption, but this is a side
of the question which the people do
not and will not look at. The decis-
ion of the Supreme Court in 1884, with
only a single Judge dissenting, that
Congress has constitutional power in
time OF peace as we'll as in wal to
to create Treasury notes and make
them n legal tender for debts alarmed
the financiers and others who had
given some thought to the question,
and undoubtedly that decision was re-
sponsible for much of tho financial
lunacy of the past eleven years. The
masses of the people, however, have
no scientific knowledge of finance, and
lever will have, and though they were
neither Greenbackers nor Populists,
they will cling to the Treasury notes
until the danger inhcring in this sort
of currency becomes more palpable
than it has been along to this Tins

John Sherman's book is the follow
ing in which he sets forth his views on
the territorial extension of the United
States:
The events of the future are beyond
the vision OF mankind. bui hope that
our people will be content with internal
growth. and avoid the complications
Of foreign acquisitions. Our family
Of States is already large enough 70

and a republic should not hold de-
pendent provinces or possessions.
Every new acquisition will create
cmbarassments. Canada and Mexico
as independent republics will be moro
valuable TO the United States than ii
carved into additional states. The
Union already embraces discordant
elements enough without adding 9TH
ers. If my life is prolonged | will do

prosperity of the United States. but
nothing to extend its limits or to add

Editor McCullagh After.
NEW YORK. Nov. 1S.-The Mercury
this morning has the following
editorial:
Considerable interest is manifested
in political circles in the South and
West in the announcement that Editor
McCullagh of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat is a candidate for a seat in
the United States Senate. OF course.
there is no probability of his election
in the near future, but the widespread
interest in his candidacy is due to the
fact that he will be compelled to tell
the people whether he is a Republican
or a Democrat.
1t is well known that at the time he
assumed editorial control of the
Globe-Democrat he was an ardent
Democrat. but equally well known
that with his advent the paper became
the most radical Republican mouth
piece in the country.
I'VE understand that in Missouri
and the neighboring States the party
affiliations of Editor McCullagh are
the subject OF much comment at the
present time. and that more or less
quiet betting is being done as to
whether it is a Republican or a Demo-
cratic Senatorial nomination which
he is after. The mystery will soon be
