SISTER LEAS

Mrs. Lease says she will conclude her
lecture engagements in about a wear
ana then 90 abroad for two years. To
this the Galveston Nelcs remarks that
something generally happens to other
countries Of the world to keep them out
or humor With America.
Further interesting observations
about Mrs. Lease we take from the
Charlotte Observer
'Sister Lease, who abandoned politics
awhile ago and entered the ministry
and the lecture field, and whose night
gown, tooth brush and other belongings
we're attached for debt somewhere IN
the West i few days ago, has broken
loose again. \ Topeka, Kansas, dis
patch to the Washington Post, says
Mrs. Lease says she is out of politics,
but she says she will make some speech
es from the stump this summer. Which
side She will take she does not state.
Speaking Of ingalls,, she said the Re
pubilcans might 90 further for q United
States Senator and fare worse, and that
she would not attempt to prevent bis
! election What she would do in the
national campaign she does not say,
but it is believed she is disposed to
support the Republican ticket if condi-
tiOns be favorable.
This IS the same Sister Lease that
Col. Polk brought South few years
ago to canvass for popuism. If she
is to join the Republicans will she come
South again, unteach her former pu-
pills and teach them over again?'

one frequently hears 1t declared by
silver men that if the national Demo
cratic convention dominates = gold
man they will not vote for HIM. And
perhaps the gold men are also saving
that if q silver man is nominated they
will not support him.
THE DEMOCRAT does not think that
this is tie best way to look at things,
if party affiliations are to be regarded
in the matter. If both faiths of the
Democratic party are going to accept
nothing but that which agrees with
their views, we thlnk it of no use what
ever to 90 into convention together.
THE DEMOCRAT would suggest that
the gold and silver men Of the Demo
cratic party hold a currency conyen-
ton, or ratio convention, or money
standard convention right soon, and
settle the ratio question. Make plat
form upon which to place the candi-
date for the Presidency. And if there
can be no agreement on the question
of ratio, we might as we'll all know it
now as to wait until the nominating
convention # we are to have two
Democratic candidates, why not begin
to prepare for it, and thus let the Re
publicans know IN advance that they
