The un-Democratic, dangerous and
destructive frec-slver plank in the
platform proposed at Chicago SO neu-
tralizes and nulliies all the rest that
tho other resolutions might as well have
been omitted.
BY declaring for n debasemcnt OF our
currency and the semi-repudiatbn of
public and private debts the convention
VIII make this the only real issue OF
the campaign. Nothing else will be SER
tclsly considered. 1t will dominate the
canvass. 1t Will decide the election.
1t Is a blunder that would be incon-
ceivab!c II It had not actually been
made. 1t pushes Democracy out and
brings Populism to the front. 1t will
render support OF the ticket impossible
by hundreds OF thousands OF Democrats.
The Democratic party OF the nation has
deserved better things OF the southern
men than the B%rutus-lIkc blow they
have dealt 1t at Ch!cago.-Ncw York
World.

HEARTS OF GOLD"
A Work Of Fiction nv Prof. j. M~cIicnry
Jones, OF this City,

There has just been issued from the
1n%teiligenccr press a remarkable work
OF fiction which deals with Afro mers-
can society. It Is from the gifted pen
OF Professor ]. AtcIlcnry Jones, princl-
pal Of Lincoln school. this city. Every
body III Wheeling knows that Professor
Jones Is ar eloquent public speaker. but
few suspected him of any ambition In
the line OF sentimental fiction. But he
has done well in the modest little VOL
ume OF Hearts OF Gold"
It Is a story OF some power, contain
Ing many interesting situations. with
II plot that holds the interest OF the
reader from the opening page to the
close. 1t Is clean anu pure In tone and
written In an attractive style.
Professor Jones has no reason in this
his first novel to fear comparison with
many authors who have achieved repu-
tations on Inferior works. 1t affords
the lntculScncer great pleasure to rec
ommcnd Hearts OF Gold" to the intel
llGent reading public. and at the same
time advises the author not to let his
pen rest with this n achievement.

II Is still an open question whether the
gold Democrats will put Il separate
ticket III tho field. They arc not unsni-
nous on the proposition, though
they nro unanimous IN tho de-
sire to bring about n VIC
tory for sound money. They only differ
as to the method to be adopted to nc.
complish the result without committing
themselves to lsepubllcanlsm as Il
whole.
Their first concern, so Il In stated In q
Chicago dispatch. Is 10 work II so thnt
Mckinley a carry tho doubtful slatcs
In the south-ainryland. West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee. On the mon.
ey. question the Democratic states OF
Texas. Alabama and North Carolina
arn dcbateable grounds and with u third
ticket In the field It Is believed by many
of the sound money Democrats of those
states they could DO carried. New York,
Pennsylvania and the New England
states are certain for Mckinley In any
event. and n third ticket would not COM
phcate matters so far as they are con-
cerncd. This Is the way In which the
third ticket advocates figure out the
situation.
Another plan Is for the sound money
Democrats to support the Republican
ticket rs the surest way to bring about
the defeat OF the failntIcal silver element
which converted the Democratic con-
ventton ut Chicago into u Popullst con-
Sentlnn and subordInatcd Democratic
principles TO a passing craze OF tho hour.
Whatever tho plan finally decided
upon. the result Is likely to be the same,
and certain It IS that the sound money
Democrats, who believe more In pre-
serving the nations credit than they do
In slavishly surrcndeTtnS principle for
the, sake OF 4 possible success on an un-
Democratic platform. arc In earnest and
will make no compromise.
They were told In the Chicago owen
ton that they were not wanted. were
overriddcn In the most hlgh-handcd
manner, insulted and rcpudiated. They
represented the best that there was In
Democracy-the conservative and sound
business sense OF the party. but were
given to understand that the faddists,
the onc-ldea men, thc"men with a hobby
were In the saddle and no quarter would
be granted them.
The wise leadership OF the past, the
real craftsmanship within the ranks OF
the party. must he set aside and instead
must be substituted the Altgelds and the
Tlllmans. The, gauntlet was thrown
down by the aggregation OF elements In
control and has been taken up by the
real Democrats who were in the minorI-
ty and the war for an Insane theory on
the oue side and for the preservation Of
the honor OF the Union on the other will
be waged to thu end.
There has been no Democratic con-
vention and M Democratic nomination.
1t was a new rarty-a Populist annex,
that IA formed. The Democrats have
yet to act. Whatever action they take
will be for the purpose OF aiding the Re
publican party in the work to which It
stnnds pledgcd-the preservation OF the
honor and the credit OF. the United
States.
