THE FIELD AGAINST M.KINLEY.

A telegram from Washington,
 published in the San Francisco Ex-
 aminer, gives an interview with J.
 s. Clarkson, manager of the Allison
 campaign. in which that gentleman
 very frankly admits that the fight
 for the pomination for president has
 settled down to Mckinley against
 the field. The Morton, Allison, Quay, Cullom and all other presi- dential boomers. have joined hands in one common cause against Nc
 Kinley.
 NIT. Clarkson refers to Arizona as an example of this pooling of issues, and in regard to it says: There is a pretense of contest in Arizona, but a majority of the legally called convention elected three Allison and three Quay delegates. Twenty-four hours after it had adjourned siue die the Mckinley convention was called without authority-snd six so called Mckinley delegates elected" e" MT. c Clarkson has been misinformed in regard to separate convention having been called. He may also be mistaken in regard to the per some. ot what he calls legally elected" delegates, as two of them announced themselves in favor of Mckinley. In regard to the manner of settling contests, MT. Clarkson says it will be done as follows:
 By the rules of the party, all contests will first be heard by the National Committee, which makes up a temporary roll of the National Convention. Each state in the tenn porary convention, elects a member of the committee on credentials and contests are heard before the com mittee. The convention itself will also hear contests through the re- port of the committee on creden- tials. So there will be three careful examinations of all these contest ants, insuring the fairest decision al the last"
 What about the reports as to the National Committee, and how it stands, and how these contests are going to be decidedl"
 'The National Committee is made up of good and trained republicans, most of them of long service, and all of them careful of the party's | interest and honor, and all repre- sentative men in their respective | states. While the majority of the 1 National Committee doubtless pre- fers some other candidate, from per sonal choice and party interests. it is safe to say they will give, as fair a hearing to every contest as will | the committee on credentials, or the itself"

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Germany and England may yet
 come to blows over that little Trans
 vaal republic affair.
 Don Dickinson was evidently cool
 sober when he fixed" that Michigan democratic convention. Ex-Governor ]. B. Foraker. of Ohio, will make the nominating speech iu St. Louis for Mckinley. The republicans surprised the democrats by gladly accepting Me
 Kinleyism as the leading issue of the campaign.
 If it be fair to judge from the language he uses we would say that Senator Tillman wants to bc tie anarchist candidate for president

 The page of history which records the policy of the Cleveland admin istration towards the Cuban patriots is likely to bring blushes to Ameri- can cheeks.
 The size of the squadron of war ships now being assembled in Hamp- ton Roads indicates that MT. Cleve- land is thinking of trying to utilize another war scare to help the poor old democratic party.
 Senator Elkins recently said: 1t Is written down that Mckinley is to be the next president and We are only making unnecessary trouble for ourselves as well as for him by re- sisting the inevitable"
 Those democrats who are talking about what they will do in 1900 will discover when that time arrives that the strongest telescope in the world will not be able to locate even a trace of the national democratic party.
 When a democratic office-holder works against the Cleveland wing of his party he is adjudged guilty of violating the civil service law, but | when he works for 1t, as the Michigan federal office holders re- gently did, he's a true reformer. 1 See2

THE DIsAPPEARANCE OF THE POP
 uIIST PARTY.

THE DIsAPPRARANCE OF THE POP
 ULIsT PARTY.
 While the populists still meet an'
 Eill probably nominate local tickets and in a few states even electors, l is nevertheless very evident that th' party as s factor in politics has tal len back into the ranks of the has beens" with the prohibitionists, anc that it is no longer dangerous tC either of the great parties.
 This condition of affairs is natural It would have been surprising II Il had been otherwise. In fact, the party from the first was predestined tc failure. It had paueity of great men and a superhuity of great ideas. T. was founded on anegstive propo- sit.oa from the first. It was against the old parties, but not for anything ca the tariff it was all things to all men. In foreign matters it had no policy; in 6Rance, its policy, or rather policies, were as numerous as its members. Its political creed the Omaha platform-wss an un- expiainAble document that DO man, even the men who wrote it, could understand.
 If. it may be asked, this is all true, how is it that the'party won any victoriesi The answer is easy it managed to fool some of the Peo- pie some of the time; but when it got possession of the government 1t failed so completely to carry out its promises and pledges, that it was never able to win two consecutive victories.
 It is true that in the south pOpu- lism pretends to have an existence, but its name is only an alias for bourbonism, which is as surely dy- ing out as it died out in France century ago. PoPulism is disappear ing because it has no vital force to keep it alive. Reforms must be worked out through one of the great parties or theIr successors, and the victories of the republicans in 1894 and 1895 were a Severer blow to populisn than they were to the democracy. This year the great foe of the populists is going to be the silver movement, which possesses the statesmen whom populism has always lacked and which will absorb it's remaining vitality. The speech of Senator Tillman in Denver shows that the so called southern popu- lists are silver men, and will vote that ticket, and that a strong silver nomination will command the popu- list strength all through the south, as it will in the west.
 Many of those, too, who had been in the party ranks recruited from the old parties will undoubtedly return to their allegiance and that will have 8 tendency to still further weaken the ranks of the populists. The future of the populist party, therefore, seems to be simply to grow weaker and weaker until il completely disappears, although some of its component elements will ever be starting new alleged reform -ovements and claiming that they, and they only, are the peoPle.-Los Angeles Express.

New York, Sept. 12.-R. G. Dun g. Co.,
In their weekly review of trade, say:
Better prospects and relief from mone-
tary anxiety do not yet bring larger de-
mands for finished products. though large
buying of pig iron, wool, leather, hides,
cotton and other materials continue to
show a growing belief that a general up
ward movement in prices will come with
the replenishment of dealers stocks this
fall Most prices are extremely low, so
that nothing more than an ordinary de-
mand would advance them. But bank fall

tation, crcp returns Indicate disappoint-
ment In some cotton and some spring wheat
states, prices of corn and cats make 1t un-
profitable TO sell at present, the number of
manufacturing works and mines in opera
tion does not gain, but rather decreases,
reductions of wages are somewhat nu-
merous, occasionally resisted by strikes,
and all these conditions diminish for a
time the buying power of the people. While
many think general Improvement cannot
come until the election has removed po-
litical uncertainties, others expect soon to
see the result anticipated in trade.
Accounts of disappointing returns in
spring wheat states are numerous, but 1t
Is difficult to reconcile short estimates with
the heavy marketing at low prices Corn
Is almost wholly out of danger and the
yield Is generally expected to be the
largest, as the price here IS the lowest ever

imports still runs strongly this way, fur

The prospect led the Bank OF England to

BANKS RELIEVED.
Treasury Department Telegraphs $780,
900 to New Orleans.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The treasury
department has relieved the New Or
leans bank by transferring for them
from New York to New Orleans, by te,-
egraph, 100000. The three bank fail
ures which have occurred within the
past ten days have left the solvent
banks short of funds. and they have
found it necessary to draw on the re-
serve deposits in New York banks.
Comptroller Eckels has received a
telegram from Bank Examiner john
son, at New Orleans, stating that the
clearing house committee has decided
to issue clearing house certificates. Mr..
johnson expressed the belief that there
would be no further trouble with the
banks.
New Orleans, Sept. 12.-The Bank of
Commerce was organized in 1887, with a
capital stock of 100000. William T..
Nichols, nephew of Chief Justice Mich
OILS, of the supreme court, is its presi-
dent. 1t is stated that the doors were
closed as a matter of precaution, there
having been run on the bank Thurs
day. Depositors, it is understood, will
lose but little.
Friday afternoon the two individual
bookkeepers of the Union national
bank. Messrs. Frank B. Leefe and A.
Colomb, we're arrested on affidavits
made by Cashier Labarathe. Colomb,
it appears, is only ''constructively" un-
der arrest. The charge against Leefe
is for violating United States statutes
by falsifying his books and accounts,
his accounts showing a credit balance
of $12,6O+.Ss, which should have been
1896, 1880. The charge against Colomb
is of similar character. Leefe was ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Craig. He pleaded not guilty
and was placed under bonds of $4,000,
which he Immediately furnished.

"rhe Free Coinage Problem"

'The Free Coinage Problem" is the
title of penny magazine or pamphlet,
by Lewis n. Lembitz, of Louisville,
Ky. 1t contains one of the fairest and
best discussions of the money question
to be had at any price. 1t contains in
very brief space and in simple language
as much of the early history of money,
especially in this country. as is neces-
sary to understand the present situa.
ton. 1t discusses in a logical, unbiased
and impartial manner the probable ef-
fects of the proposed free coinage legis-
lation upon all classes, and especially
upon farmers and wage-earners. 1t pre-
sents vivid picture of the present hard
lot of many farmers and shows what
kind of money will be for their best in
terests.
This little 4s-page magazine contains
more of monetary hiRtory and facts,
and more of sound argument. than
many books which cost 100 times its
price. 1t makes it possible for any in
telligent laborer or farmer who can
spare one cent to become we'll informed
on the money question before he casts
his vote. Ten or fifteen copies can be
ordered at once for ten or fifteen per-
sons. Otherwise it will cost two cents

A DEEP PLOT.
1t Is Headed on by the Arrest OF AL
legged Fenians.

l hNRtu Etnlhnss
Boulogne, Sept. 15.--P. J.Tynan, the
Irish "invincible" who was arrested
here Sunday morning, was arraigned
before the public procurer Monday
morning. He admitted tha5 he was the
man described in the warrant of arresr.
and was remanded pending the arrival
OF the papers required to effect his ex-
tradition to England.
London, Sept. ia report is in cir
culation here that it was the intention
of lyman to perpetrate an outrage at
Balmoral castle during the visit of the
car to Queen Victoria at that place.
The rumor is probably due to the story
told by lyman during his tour of the
continent that he was courier of the
queen intrusted with an autograph let
ter from her majesty to be delivered
TO the czar at Copenhagen.
The formal charge made against Bell,
the alleged dynamiter, arrested in
Glasgow, is that ne contravened sec
tion SO of the explosive substances act
of 1888, which declares that any per-
son while a subject of her majesty, the
queen, who shall supply material or
aid or abet crime under the act is
thereby guilty of felony.
A communication of semi-official
characterwas issued Monday afternoon
touching the arrest of the alleged dyna-
mite conspirators. After treating of
the arrests of the dynamiters and the
capture by the police of all their docu-
ments, etc, the communication adds
that Bell was assigned to go to Scot
land to direct series of outrages there,
then necessary explosives were to be
sent to him from Belgium as they might
be required. When Bell was taken
into custody he had between G 300 and
94OO in cash upon his person, together
with American letters of credit. The
communication says among other
things:
Scotland Yard officials have been fully
aware for some time past that a gang of
desperadoes have been engaged in America
In preparing the details and arranging the
ramifcations of an extensive and diabol-
lcal plot to perpetrate dynamite outrage
In england and establish a reign of terror
Chief Inspector Melville, of the Metro
politan police, has had charge of the Scot
land Yard arrangements for frustrating
the designs of the conspirstors, and grad
ually ana with great secrecy drew a net
work around the plotters. The fact was
known to the police that the conspirators
were In close communication with promi-
nent Russian nihilists in the United States.
and through this tnforma ion the police
We're enabled to discover upon almost un-
doubted evidence that the conspiracy had
recently developed a scheme to perpetrate
an outrage upon the czar upon the occasion
of his visit to England. The prime movers
OF the plot were Fenians In America. and
when they had carried their conspiracy as
Iar as they could in the United States
lyman and the other principal agents were
sent to Europe TO put the designs of tbe
plotters into operation. They left Ameri-
ca as secretly as possible, coming by Diff
ferent routes. Their arrival was known.
