thought is less favorable to that view.
It is undeniable that the organization
of the sound money Democrats will di-
vert from the Republicans a large
number of votes; but it is likely to take
many times more votes from the Bry-
an ticket, and that, in some OF the
doubtful states, may give to Mckinley
a majority or plurality which he would
not otherwise secure. This, of course,
is a matter on which opinions may
easily differ; but it is certain that the
more sagaciOus Republican leaders are
now entertaining no fears about the
outcome Of this new disposition of
party forces. The junction of action
between the Democrats and POpuilStS
will have a. tendency to lessen the dan
ger of that combination to the country
There is doubtless a very large num-
Der of Democrats who will act with
the dissentient Democrats, even
though. in doing so, they may>vote IN
willingly against silver, rather than
commit themselves to the violently
dislOyal and revolutionary plankS of
Chicago and Populistic platforms. In
fact. there is undoubtedly no little prob
ability that the free-silver vote may
be nulIiffed by the other grossly IN
Public opinion is coming to attach less
and less Importance to these revOlu-
tionary threats. They are regarded as
symptoms of tendencies, but not as
expressive of any really formidable
body of settled American sentiment
Men of sober judgment refuse to be-
ieVe that the United States has sud
denly reversed its regard for the most
fundamental political institutions Of
the country. They view such a sumner
sauIt as virtually an impossibility to
human nature. But if so many Demo
Gratis are unprepared to commit them
selves to political revolution, what is
to become of the monetary revolution
linked with the same platforms? All
the proba Utilities arising from the ma
ture of the case lead to the conclusion
that the Populo-D Democracy will be
found to have overieaped itself and
will consummate its career next No
vember in overwhelming defeat.

was metioned they drew in their horns
and said 4 don't know as gibIy as

Paul is for gold, and thinks the silver
business is doing the country no good
even at this time. Joy says it is

question He is for gold pure and SIM

CALLERS ON M'KINLEY.
Ex-senator Bruce Hopeful of the
South.


Canton, Aug. 10.-Major Mckinley
has had a few days of quiet, and he is
turning over in his mind the points
which he thinks of discussing in his
letter of acceptance. He does not, how
ever, expect to have a letter for publ
cation for three weeks.
Ex-senator B. K. Bruce of MISSISSIPPI
pi, was a late caller on Major Mckin-
ley. He is familiar with the political
situation throughout the south, and
thinks Major Mckinley will carry Fir-
GINA, West Virginia, Maryland, North
Carolina and Kentucky
Said he: 1T will be found that the
Democratic politician in the southern
states has until recently been able to
keep the south solid. Hereafter the
progressive element of the south will

Major Mckinley as the apostle of pro-

instead of deprecated silver dollars, and
they regard Major Mckinley as the
embodiment of that idea also The
colored voters of the country, both
north and south, are enthusiastically
supporting Major Mckinley. They
know him to be their friend. There has

II. C. King of Brooklyn Says the Coun-
try is in Peril.

New York, Aug 1o.-Horatio C.King
Of Brooklyn who headed the Democrat
ic state ticket last fall as a candidate
for secretary of state, has written a let
ter to ex-Gov. Roswell P. Flower, in
which he says:
Il cannot comprehend how any man
who loves his country can hesitate in
this emergency or wait for a convention
to enable him to make UP his mind
These are troublous times and recall
the days of 1860 and 1861 when Tam
many was on the side of disunion and
Fernando Wood threatened opposition
to any troops which should attempt to
pass through New York on the sacred
mission of saving the union
Fortunately it recovered its reason,
and may we not hope that, on sober
second thought. the rank and file at
least will discover that it is not in
sympathy with the anti-Democratic
PopuIistic sentiments enunciated by
the hybrid convention at Chicago. I
am now, as in 1861. for the union and
national honor, and am ready to join
in any movement to this end which the
majority of sound money Democrats
shall determine to be WiSest and best .

from warlikc influences for 4 slightly diff
fcrcnt reason. Lady Tercpcc's money is
with her father, the Wall street man, ana
is secure in our great money system. But
Lady Terrence would wish TO prevent wal for
private reasons.
For long time il has been whispered about
that Lady Terence had great hopes of
seeing her husband sent to this country
upon diplomatic mission. As English
Ambassador even her ladyship's hopes
would be fulfilled. Her influence has been
turned this way. and some day she may See
all fulfilled if there is peace.
The countess OF Essex, Adele Grant, of
New York, has no great American for
time. but she has q husband who is a devotec
of the queen. He was n page in her ma
jesty's court and has remained so devoted
to her that he would leave his wife and the
baby lord and sally out to war ut the
first note. New York city Is the love of the
countess of Essex. She once told y friend
that she dreams at night OF Union Square
and its stately old pic; c;uresqucness. To
have her husba nd fighting her beloved city
would be great grief TO her.
MARLBO RoCdHS FOR PEACE.
With the two Duchesses OF Marlborough
war is impossible. Consuelo. the bride
would lose her great fortune quickly. as
railroads would fcei the crash Immediately,
and Lady Beresford would suffer such i'm
pairment OF the uamers!ey income that
her homes even would have to be given up.
But, aside from financial interests, which,
however, can not be ignored. these women
arc particularly fond OF their own country.
Either one would rorsakc England for it.
Neither Lady Beresford. whose father was
q war colonel, nor ConsuelO Vanderbilt
would suffer their husbands easily to
buckle on armor against their brothers
and parents here. Their influence alone,
II all expended in their own peculiar way,
would avert the bitterest Of feelings.
So those who Cry peace need not fear
that they are In the majority. Across

rank, who would struggle to maintain the

too, many of these. They are nearly all
cayuscs of the ca yusest order.
AT one Of the ranches on the banks of the
river there are three big, weE-:enccd pas
tures. and here the cutting out will be done.
On the reservation there are now about
$4,000 horses. and OF those it is estimated
that fully 1000 have no right to the Indian
range. This will do much TO improve the
condition OF the range, and it is for this
purpose that the big round-ap has been
undertaken.
The band Of horses now being driven
toward the extemporized corrals has been
gathered in the region of the Pend d Orelle
River. As soon as the cutting out has been
accomplished the riders will cross the river
and will round up the stock between that
stream and Crow Creek, and there will be
another separation at the Allard ranch. on
Mud Creek. In addition TO the removal of

LADY FACETS OTHER HALF
Both Lady Blackwqed's Baby
Heir and Coming Hope of
Scarsdalc Dowerless.

There are in Englands heart, in Londor
itself, ten American women, true daugh
ters OF the United States, who are working
quietly and nightly 10 prevent war between
the two countries that arc looking at eacl
other In q sinister way.
To them war means n thousand times rs
much as it does to other American women
They are the two DuchcSsesof Marlborough
Lily and COnsuelo; Lady Terence Black
wood, the Countess or Essex; Lady Craven
formerly Bradley Martin: Mrs. Joseph Cham
berlain. Lady Margaret Paget, Lady Ran
doIph Churchill. the Viscountess Deerhurst
IL great favorite In Victoria's court and
Mrs Letter -Curzon. These have untold
power for international arbitration.
MRS. CURZON's REASONS
Besides these women. there are ten NOR,
that bear English titles, but these particu
lar ten are SO situated that they are in the
very midst of the greatest powers that
rule England today. Their influence
thrown upon the scale would turn 1t which
ever way they hs.nt themselves.
II war were declared upon England today,
Mr. Curzon Ensland's under secretary OF
foreign affairs, would lose Immediately,
through his wife, 81 5,OOO,00 in American
securities alone. This was Miss Letter S
private fortune when she married MIR. Cur
Zon last spring and at first note OF trouble
her stock would drop to 81 100000 and at
mere trouble, To probably none at all. This
IL :, solid and substantial reason why MIR.
Curzon would not favor war, and why Lady
ScarsdaIe. as Mrs. Curzon's title will some
day be, would work against such a calani-
ity.
IL is not 10 be supposed that any man
worthy the name OF statesman wouid allow
his private interests to stand III the way OF
his patriotism, but ii is difficult to see how
a man in business circles, us Mr.. CurZon Is,
and having great interests at stake, could
think otherwise. He sees The prosperity
brought about by the combined interests or
the Two countries, and he sees the wreck
with these interests separated. Mrs. George

prevent the war today than any other living

Mrs. Chamberlain is very close in the heart
of this party She knows its secrets and
hears its discussions. Her American mind
and brain can do more for America than
all the arbitration messages ever perned,
but in an inconspicuous way.
MRS. CHAMBERLAIN's WORD.
Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain could and Goes
help her country by her Amcricanism. She
is the daughter of a statesman, and was Tor
many years her fathers secretary She un-
dcrstands our politics and our feelings
1t is she who can explain cur peculiar in
hcrited feeling for liberty as none Others
can. l t was Presidents Monroe's rear that
in future England would surround us that
made him introduce that doctrine which
now makes all the trouble. Mrs. Chanl-
berlain understands this; and it is rumorcd
that these days she is closeted long hours
with English statesmen explaining. rep
rcsenting to them and influencing them.
In this country wGmcni politicians are
called 'strong-minded, but in England
they arc much admired. Lady Randolph
not now held by any American woman
that of a leader of .socisty and lcctur-
ing politician.

She is allied 10 both with hooks of steel.

dear relatives and fortune oyer here. Home,
children and immediate interests there.

Occurring, as she did when, she elected her

and her talk would put things straight

just way of delivering them that robs
them of the term lectures" She could
show EDglishmen why and how we must
keep our coasts from danger, aud she would

LADY CRAVEN AND DvICTORIA.
The little Countess OF Craven has
very peculiar influence in England. She
is powerful with the queen. Victoria
likes her. She keeps her at Windsor
and talks of making her ladyin.waiting,
