TO BOLT OR NOT TO BOLT.

Seeing that the adoption of free coin
age plank at Chicago is inevitable the
gold men are now considering what
course to take. A while ago when it was
thought possible to defeat free silver the
Eastern gold Democrats appeared to be
very generally in favor of bolt in case
the silver men succeeded. But since
their success has become certain the gold
men have been roosting much lower.
They are now apparently devoting
most of their energies to the finding ex-
cuses for not doing what awhile ago
they ayowed with much emphasis was
the right thing to do. and the thing that
they were going to do. On Friday night
o conference of the gold leaders was
held at William G. Whitney's. and ao-
cording to the New York Sun, the ma
Jority were opposed to boiling.
Undoubtedly if the Chicago convention
espouses free silver and dominates a free
silver candidate a great many Democrats
will not vote the Democratic ticket this
fall, but that there will be a formal bolt
from the convention does not seem at all
probable at present.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
he country than all other diseases put to-
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease and,
therefore, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by r.
j Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a

Perry Belmont has had himself inter-
viewed at Paris in order to tell the Dem
ocrats that the proper way to crush Mo
Kinley is to adopt platform in favor
of international bimetallism. If Mr.
Belmont had used the New York Dem
ocratic platform he would have seen that
the Hon. William @. Whitney had already
placed his wide mark on that method.
But perhaps his intention was simply
to endorse Mr.. Whitney's plan and not
claim it as his own. There is to be O
majority of nearly 300 silver men in the
Chicago convention that will have to be
reckoned with before this plan can be
adopted and SO far as heard from mot a
single one of them is in favor of it, for

MR.. WHITNEY'S PLATFORM.
New York Evening Post.

(New York Evening Post.)
Mr.. Whitney's absurd Democratic plat
form has been received by the silver
Democrats in just the way that might
have been expected. 1t heartens them
greatly. If that is the best the Democ.
racy of New York can do, the silverites
may gayly run down their steep place
into the sea. For argument, all they need
to do is to point to Mr.! Whitney's con-
cessions. He gives the whole cause
away, as Senator Morgan hastens to
point out. All he lacks is the courage of
his convictions. That they will supply
in unlimited quantities, with the courage
of their ignorance thrown in to point cut
the way where he dare not 90, but they
are the men Of action who will translate
his reasoning into deeds. What the sill
yer Democrats dreaded was an otttspoken
and uncompromising gold platform from
the New York Democracy, with bolt
distinctly threatened. If such plat
form had been put out last April it
would have had powerful effect in
other states. But to wait till the end
of June, and then give forth Ii lot
Of musty bimetalism WAS the surest way
to make New York Democrats oontsmpt

II Mr.. Hanna wanted gold platform,
it is pertinent to ask why it was that his
own state of Ohioadopted straddle plat
form? AS ne expected the convention
would follow Ohio's lead in regard to
the candidate, would it not have been
natural to have expected it to lock in
that direction for 'tip" as regards

as international bimetalisn. They want

fates alone at the 16 to l ratio. If
Mr.. Whitney has any doubt about it, it
will soon disappear after the sun rises on

According to the New York Sun the

desperate hope indeed.

President Andrews of Brown University
has always been in favor of international
bimetalism, but he has opposed free
coinage by this country alone as danger

and that gold would not leave the coun-

CALIFORNIA; PROSPERITY.

Whatever the importance to California
of the many things that are desired at the
hands of the Nation and how ever desira-
BILE it is that the patriotic people of the
State work with all diligence for National
appreciation there are great domestic
problems for our own people to solve un-
aided. The vast resources of the State
still await development and the extent of
our achievements in that direction will
measure the consideration which we may
expect from the whole country. 1t will
not even be sufficient if we induce nom
residents of means, energy and ability to
come and add their efforts to ours. though
there should be no relaxing of endeavor in
that direction. Apart from all these duties
is the one resting upon US to do all that we
can in developing the wealth lying under
our hands and awaiting our enterprise.
That is the first necessity in securing the
prosperity of California.
There are some among US who appre-
ciate that fact. The greatest single enter
prise now under the direction of Califor-
mans is the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley Railroad. 1t represents
an investment of about $6, COO 900, but that
is the least of the considerations which it
inv Olives. 1t is distinctly unique in con-
ception.
While started as legitimate business
enterprise, it deliberately established the
policy OF abandoning any conceivable op-
portunlty to make enormous profits at the
expense of the people, and bound itself to
reasonable income on the investment.
That was radical departure from the es-
taDllShp0 nnlinu Of
companies which have grown enormously
rich by charging all that the traffic could
bear. without any reference to the amount
OF the investment.
10 Another unique feature of the enter
prise is the relief which il will afford to
shippers, who for so many years have
borne excessive burdens. That will mean
for producers and merchants between San
francisco and Bakersfield a charge on
their wares that will enable them to pros
per. These charges, instead of being
based, as in the past, on the shippers
margin of profit, will be regulated solely
by the desire of the company to secure a
return of per cent on its investment.
That is something startingly new in Cali
fornla. Taking into account the fact that
under fair conditions the rewards of in
dustry should be generous in this State, it
is evident that the policy of the Valley
road Will leave a margin OF profit 70 ship
pers that they have never been permitted
10 retain in the past. These matters are
clearly understood by the intelligent peo-
pie of the San Joaquin Valley. The rapid
development which that fertile section
will experience under the new conditions
will act directly upon the welfare of San
Francisco, and will simplify California's
task in demanding a wise National recog-
milton of its needs.

ocratic struggle for existence Let me simply
indicate it. And here | desire to let the new
York Tribune of the same date of the World,
April 30, have chance to be heard: 'In the
death grapple of hostile Democratic factions
the Eastern Democrat knows that he has not d
chance in any Eastern State unless ne can
have an unqualified declaration for the main
tenance of the gold standard with candidate
to match.
to face an overpowering demand for free silver
coinage, and he knows that with gold plat
form great part OF the Democratic voters VIII
go over to the Populists, leaving the Demcc-
racy not merely beaten, but permanently Grip
pied by the loss of the machinery by which
elections are carried" 1.-The Southern Demo-
crat knows right we'll that he will be buried
out of sight if the people get chance to vote
and have their votes counted" He cares not
q rap whether Democracy gains in New YORK
or not" Federal offices in the South are OF
no value compared with State and local offices
and the control of the party machinery" The
same considerations govern in New York The
Tribune sums up the situation in these words:
''Tnus it is seen that the rupture IN the
Democratic party goes far deeper tnsn any
difference of belief among leaders and work
ers. 1t is on both sides fight for Ete-at the
South because free silver and soit-money mere
sizes have for thirty years been taught with tn SO
tic over them, and at the North because the
influence of commercial and banking classes
has made it impossible to create sucn per-
nicious public sen timent."
1t may be remarked in passing that the
Tribune states with refreshing candor why 1t
is 1hat the Tree coinage Vi SILVER h1S % AoM
friends in the northeastern section OF our
country. 1t is inRthe nature of confession.
Make note of it: "The influence of COM
mercial and banking classes made 1t impossi-
BILE to create such a pernlclous PUBLIC sentl-
ment.'
- think the readers of THE CALL will agree
with me that the Democratic party is IN sore
straits. The all-absorbing Populists IN the
South seem about to leave only the gold con-
tingent in the longtime "Soid South" and
the Republicans in the North will gather in
all but the unconditional free-stlver elem en- tS
That portion will naturally ally itself with the
new silver party which IS to join forces with
the Populists in the support OF joint candl-
dates to be nominated at st. Louis July 22.
The woes of Democracy are manifest.
