Forecast an Early Conflict.
LONDON, June pa dispatch from
Madrid to the Daily Mail says: The
platform adopted in st. Louis causes
great uneasiness in Spain and it is
feared a conflict with the United States
has now almost a fixed date. The gov
eminent has fastened to buy two lC0-
ton irOnclads at Genoa, whose price a
few days ago was thought to be exces-

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Adding the
totals of the states and territories
which have elected delegates to the
democratic national convention to
those which have not yet done so, but
whose position on the financial ques-
ton is well defined, the silver men will
have SIC and the gold men 352 votes.
The silver men claim that they have
seven votes in Minnesota and four in
Maryland, now claimed by the gold
men. If these votes are deducted from
the gold column, the total for that fac
ton will be left at 341, and the total of
the silver men will run to 587. There
will be contests in Nebraska, Texas,
and some other states, but the silver
men will undoubtedly be seated. That
the silver men will dictate the plat
form, which requires a majority vote
only, is not doubted, but the contest
which may cause trouble which the
democrats do not like to think about
will be over the presidential nomina-
ton, which, under the rules of the past,
cannot be settled by less than a two
thirds majority.

HarFison's ex-C Onsul to Cairo VIII Not Sup
port the Gold Platform.
Topeka, Kan, June 23.-Ed G. Little,
of Abilene, who was consul at Cairo,
Egypt, under President Harrison, has
bolted the republican party on account
of the financial plank Of the st. Louis
platform. In an interview he says:
The nomination Of Maj. Mckinley on a Grover
Cleveland platform marks the end Of one era,
and the beginning of another in politics. 1t is
the hand of Esau, but the voice of Jacob. Party
lines are destroyed and there viii be another
alignment Of political organizations. They can
call it the republican party, but that does not
make it such. If the republicans changed from
protection to free trade would this still be the
republican party! The republican national
conventions of 1888 and 1892 declared for BIZ
metallism and double standard. There could
not be a more positive abandonment of their
former position. The gold standard platform
is q direct challenge to every self-resDecting
bimetallist and especially to those in Kansas
who have felt that the free e0in7ge Of silver is
the only bimetallism possible.

gineer to signal for the closing of the
draw on the bridge across the Missis-

boiler and found the engineer, Y. B.
Giddings, dead at his post, with a great
cash in the side of his head. How it
came there and how he met death can
not be ascertRined. How far the train
ran with the dead man in control will
never be known. Had the train been

POLITICS MORE THAN A FAD.

Helen Varick Boswell lecuured before
a woman club IN New York the other
day, and IN the course OF her remarks
said: There is no denying the IN
nuence OF the campaign girl Older
women who have thorough knowledge
OF broad questions ana argue from con-
YIction and invesugauon have their
following and reap the result OF their
labor-but-they labor. The campaign
girl enjoys hes fad, brings in large
returns-and doesn't labor. We laugh
at the campaign girl; she affords sub
Ject for endless caustic paragraphs, but
her might is acknowledged, though so
lightly valued, even by herself Nine
ty-nine out of 100 young women who
talk politics in campaigns and offer
their ideas On the subject to their men
friends with cups OF five O'Clock tea,
justly have been entitled to the name
campaign girl The day after cleo
ton these ninety-and-nine drop the
subject of politics as they do PLAIN
dresses after Lent is over. The one
hundredth, the shining exception,
grows from the embryo of campaign
existence into an enduring political
and patriotic thinker and worker This
has been the history of youthful fem
mime politics so far.
The time, however, now seems to
have come when even the most frivo-
lous dispenser of bonbonniered politics
feels somewhat the weight of the MAJ
ter she handles. The scope of young
women in the arts, sciences and bust
ness world practically is unlimited. Let
her now take up politics as something
higher and better than a periodic fash
ionable fad. Politics makes the coun-
try, and the home in which the young
woman wends her conquering way-let
her feel it duty, and her pride as
we'll, to meet the men with whom she
comes in contact and on whose lives
and principles she has an influence, en-
the current political questions of the
day, as well as on all others. The m
telligent, honest and sound political
conviction of young womanhood,
wrapped up in the nougat of sweet
eyes and the breezy charm of youthful
enthusiasm, carries more weight than
all the 'bossism' ever rampant in New
York state. Let the campaign girl
blossom into an enduring political
factor"
