WASHINGTON, July 29.-The loca-
ton of the national Democratic head
quarters will be decided in a few days.
Senator Jones, chairman of the COM
mittee, is expected here tomorrow or
Friday. There is strong disposition at
present to, locate the headquarters
here, and, unless Senator Jones' trip to
the West has changed his ideas on the
subject, it seems reasonably certain
that Washington will be selected, al
though the headquarters at Washing
ton would be an entirely new departure,
there are many reasons, with the con-
ditions which hedge about the cam
paign, which point to this city as the
most available from which to conduct
the coming campaign. Comparatively
little aid is expected from New York
or Chicago. Besides, the committee of
the silver party has already selected
Washington as headquarters, and all
the indications are that the Populist
committee, with Senator Butler as its
head, will also locate here. If the Demo-
cratic headquarters were located in
this city the three committees could to
a certain extent work in conjunction
for the union Of the silver forces and
the massing of their strength. Such
fusion of electoral tickets as may be
necessary to accomplish this result
could also be more easily directed if
the several committees were working
side by side.
But more important than all Is tie
fact that Senator German, whose long
experience as a campaign manager
would make his services almost inval-
liable to the new committee, has agreed
to give Senator Jones the benefit of his
counsel and advice. He does not, how
ever, it is understood, desire any Of
fetal connection with the committee,
but If the headquarters are located
here he will be constantly in close touch
with the work as it progresses. Some
Of the local Democratic leaders have
secured an option on the old Wormley
hotel as a place for the headquarters
in case Washington is selected.
It is expected that Senator Jones
will announce the members of the ex-
ecutive committee soon after his ar
rival.

GROOMING OF MORTON.
Only His Presence In Nebraska Lack
Ing to Start His Candidacy.


OMAHA, Neb.,. July 29.-Hon. j.
Sterling Morton will be In Omaha to-
morrow. 1t Is generally understood
among Nebraska Democrats that his
presence is for the purpose of a con-
ference relative to his presidential can
didacy on the gold standard ticket.
A call of the gold standard Democrats
of Nebraska, to confer as to the adyis-
ability Of Endorsing the plan Of putting
a hard money Democratic national
ticket into the field, will be issued
within very few days. This was
who is high in the councils Of the adj
ministration Democrats in this state.
There is no question" said fe that
the prevailing sentiment among the
honest money Democrats of Nebraska
is strongly in favor of putting UP a
national ticket with an out and out
gold Democrat as a candidate for pres
ident. This feeling Is born solely Of
a desire to do every thing possible to
aid in the election of Mckinley and not
with the expectation that the ticket
will be successful in the end. The aim
and purpose of the honest money DEM
ocrats Is to down this Bryan craze
There is no division of sentiment on
that point"
The latter sentence was spoken with
an emphasis that carried with it the
conviction that the speaker spoke with
authority He is a man who has been
in close touch with the leaders of DEM
ocracy in the state for many years,
and is a close observer of men and a
shrewd Judge Of political cause and
effect.

TOO MANY CHARMERs.

Mr.. William J. Bryan is now in a DO
sitlon to appreciate as few men could
do the force of the lament of the poet
who declared how happy he could be
with either, were t'other dear charmer
away. There are too many vice presi-
Dental charmers to suit Mr.. BRYAN.
and too many platforms. Matters at
ST Louis did not go at all to his liking,
and they are going no better very fast.
AS presidential candidate. he has two
vice presidential attachments. and to
sacrifice either for the other would be
to throw overheard the entire advan
tage OF combination of Populist and
free silver Democratic votes, for which
his managers schemed so assiduously.
1t was the openly uttered hope of the
Democratic campaign leaders that at
ter the convention was over Mr.. Wat
son would withdraw in favor of Mr.
Sewall Mr.. Watson says that he is
not going to do anything of the sort
He cannot do SO without making an
outright split in the Populist party
His nomination was the concession
on which big majority of the Peo-
pies party convention insisted as the
price of Bryan's Endorsement. On the
other hand, the way to Mr.. Sewalrs
withdrawal does not seem quite clear
1t is hard enough to hold in line any
considerable share of the straight DEM
ocratic vote for man who severed his
connection with the Democratic party
two years ago, and who announced
from the platform no later than last
March that he was not a Democrat. If
his associate on the ticket were also to
be Populist, 1t would be hard to find
anything Democratic about the work
of the Chicago convention, even if you
used microscope.
No less is the embarrassment that
confronts Mr.. Bryan when it is a oues-

specify coined dollars as the medium
of It's satisfaction. Out of this decision
and the subsequent ones of that and
state courts has come the impression of
the enforceability of gold notes, on
which the lenders of money have been
acting.
But subsequent case came before
the federal court. in which that deci-
sion was reversed, and the doctrine
laid down that warrants the conclusion
that debt specifically made payable
in gold coin could be paid In anything
that congress had made a legal tender.
The power of making the notes of
the United States legal tender in the
payment of debts" says the court in
Juilliard VS.. Greenman, ITO u. S., 421,
being included in the power to borrow
money and provide a national currency,
is not defeated or restricted by the
fact that its exercise may affect the
value of private contracts" 1t refers
to the act of 1884. diminishing the
weight of the gold coins, and that Of
In bullion value than dollar legal
tender, as instances Again: Every
contract for the payment of money
simply is necessarily subject to the con-
stitutional power of the government
over the currency, whatever that power
may be, and the obligations of the
parties, therefore, are assumed with ref
erence to that power" Black, in his
treatise on judgments. commenting on
the effect of this decision, says: But
it renders useless for the future to
specify in any Judgment how it shall be
paid; since, whatever the judgment
may declare, it is solvable in legal ten
der notes."
But here sets in complication that
illustrates the absurdities of that finan-
cial legislation to which Republicans
are accustomed to point with pride"
We have $346, 100000 of greenbacks that
are unlimited legal tender. We have
some $500 ,0O0 silver certificates, rep
resenting coined dollars, lying in the
treasury, that are not legal tender for
any purpose. We have $4,000, 600 silver
dollars in circulation that, with those
in the vaults. are a legal tender under
the act of 1878, except where other
wise expressly stipulated in the con-
tract" They could not be used to pay
a gold debt. Then we have about $780,
ooo,0O0 of treasury notes, issued under
the Sherman act, that are legal tender,
except where otherwise expressly stip-
ulated In the contract SO they could
not be used to satisfy a debt payable in
gold. In other words, a piece of value
less paper, on which Is printed a prom
fse to pay. will satisfy a debt payable
In gold, while a coin, with commercial
value of So cents, now, cannot be so
used. But then it is competent for
congress, within the rule laid down in
the Ito q. S., to make them such.

..THE CRIME OF 1873. !,

Silver bullion, at our minis, was
worth, for coinage, at the established
ratio of is to 1. $129 an ounce. 1t was
worth. in the markets $132 Very lit-i
tie was coined into standard dollars
because at the minis of the Latin
union, the ratio was 1914 to 1. Silver.
very naturally and humanity, was sent
where 151s ounces were equivalent to,
one ounce of gold rather than go
where 16 ounces equaled an ounce of
the yellow metal. Silver in bullion
is a commodity like wheat and pork,
and goes where it can find the best
market. Why, then, if silver, for
coinage, was worth more than gold,
was 1T demonetized here? Why was 1t
denied free mintage abroad?
Any Populist will answer this Off
hand and decisively. 1t was a "con-
spiracy'' of the money power" There
was being made too much money. It
was getting too cheap, and thereby les
sening their power. So they conspired
with the governments and procured It's
exclusion from the minis, thereby
cutting the money Of the world in
half" This is very catchy argument,
and there are numbers of good, hon
est, but simple folk, who gulp 1t down
without question. They do not stop
for moment to reflect that it absurd
ly contradicts common sense and di-
rectly antagonizes that impulse to OBJ
tain more of whatever gives power.
Farmers buy more land, railroad man.
ayers increase their mileage, mer-
chants enlarge their stocks, and, since
knowledge is power" men constantly
labor to increase their stock. When
men reverse these processes it win be
time to ask sensible men to believe
that the money power" conspired to
cut in half the supply of their power.
The fact is that the :'demonetiza-
ton Of silver. was due to a general
recognition, not by bankers and cap
italists, who are students of markets
and not Of maxims, but by men who
study the natural laws of economics,
that, in the evolutionary process by
which money has developed from bar
ter through the base to the no
BILE metals. silver had reached and
passed the limits within which it could
be beneficially used and that any ex-
cess would be merely a needless bur-
den. It's usefulness had become re-
stricted to the small, household ex-
changes. It was no longer used in
the larger domestic exchanges nor In
those of international trade Men are
constantly on the watch for easier
methods of doing their work, whether
that work is reaping harvests or buy
ing and selling. Any man today, gold
lite or siIverite, having the option
OF taking for debt or product a thou
sand dollars in gold or silver or bank
notes, would take the notes, simply
because they are the least burden

BRYAN WILL ACCEPT
In a Speech at Madison Square Gar
den, Aug. IL.


LINCOLN Neb., July 29.-Upon' re-
ceipt of the intelligence from New
York today that the hall at Madison
Square Garden could be secured for
that date Mr.. Bryan announced that
he will receive the notification commit
tee of the Democratic national conven-
ton there Aug. IL. He was unable to
say just when he will leave this city
for the East, over what route he will
make the trip or how long he expects
to be en- route. It is known that Mr..
Bryan is now preparing his speech of
acceptance of the nomination. He ex-
poets to lay, in his New York speech,
the ground work for the campaign, and
1t is believed that up to the date of it's
delivery no man will learn from his
lips just what he may be expected to
do in relation to the Populist nomina-
ton. Possibly he may not even then
declare himself but it is believed he
will then give some intimation of his
plans in relation to the Populistic NOM
ination.
There was an apparent lull In the
tide of visitors. Chairman Lane, of

ton of accepting the rejected st. Louis
platform. 1t is really making a noun
tain out of molehill to object to any,
thing that was adopted there, after
accepting the revolutionary declara-
lions of the Chicago convention. Still,
Mr.. Bryan may very well shrink from
ratifying formally all the propositions
now said that they are to make things
as easy as possible for him by not CIV
ing him any formal notification, and
not asking him to accept or reject the
platform that bothers him. We wonder
if there is any man so blind to the
characteristic love which the American
people have for fearlessness and con-
viction as to imagine that this atti-
tude on the part of presidential can
didate will commend him to their favor
Think of it! A man appealing for the

Look at the whole plan of

the moment, for people like ours, bold,
coura geous and lovers of manliness
above all other things, to uphold the
wretched abandonment of principle at
the command of an imagined expedi-
ency which characterizes the whole flu
sion movement. The Democratic
end of it chose to be coward
ly on the tariff, and to renounce
some of the most cherished principles
of the party, to pander to the Populist
vote. The Populist end of it agrees to
relieve Mr.. Bryan of the necessity of
saying whether he does or does not
espouse their principles, to pander to
the Democratic vote 1t is a policy
that can most effectualIy command the
ancient description as one of addition.

every principle concerned, save the free

Mr.. Bryan is too intelligent a man,
and he has been brought into too close
relations with the people, not to APP
preciate the inherent dangers of such
course. He strove to avoid it. He
was so well aware of the fatal quail
ties of this political mixture that he
even directed his representatives at st.
Louis to withdraw his name under the
circumstances that actually arose. They
did not follow his instructions. and he
is now involved in this medley Of in
consistency. 1t seems to us that. leay-
ing the practical issues out of view for

unprincipled side of this fusion deal
in which Populistic candidates and
platforms stand on one side, and So
called Democratic candidates and plat
forms on the other, with Mr. Bryan in
the middle, in his great act as Mr..
ce-both-ways, will awaken the pro-
foundest disgust Of a nation that is
far more tolerant of mistakes than 1t
is Of timidity. or of the sacrifice of
principle to expediency.
