civilization retrosrading? Is mankind be-

and strengthened.
The Records complaint is founded upon
the same basis with the complaint that

The president Of the Transvaal republic
is proving to be veritable thorn in the
side Of the British government. He wants
justice, and appears to be determined to
have it. He doesn't intend to let the
Transvaal incident drop out of sight with
out any further effort to have punished
those who are really guilty of having at
tempted to overturn the government of
the Transvaal republic. He has sent a
formal demand to the British government
for the immediate trial of Rhodes, Belt
and Harris, the real leaders of the attack
upon the republic.
What is the British government going to
do about it? 1t would be glad if it could
afford to tell President Kruger TO mind
his own business. 1t hardly dares to take
that course however, because there is
justice in the demand. It is the sort of
demand that the British government has
made many times. and insisted upon.
when its own citizens have suffered at
the hands of other governments.
But to open up the whole d.sagreeable
Transvaal incident is just what the Brit
would much rather let it quietly drop out
of sight
The cable dispatches say the way the
tory papers treat the demand of President
Kruger is amusing. They are indignant
as If the demand were an insult to Eng
land They don't like the idea Of having
England's attention called to her failure
to deal justly with the South African
republic The suggestion is thrown out
that England may become tired of hav-
ing her attention called to the fact that
she has not acted as she ought in the
Transvaal matter and may, in a fit of
irritation. resort to harsh measures to
close it up. In that event the outcome
might not be very satisfactory to Presi-
dent Kruger and his famous little repub-
lie

Gems of the Platform.
From the Kew york Post nnd.l

Picking ones way here and there
among the miscellaneous gems of the
platform, things rich and rare appear on
every hand. Four years ago the platform
shed bitter tears over the suffer.ngs of
the Jews in Russia. This year ii holds
up to scorn those "alien syndicates''
meaning Jewish syndicates), which have
the credit of our government in pawn.
This is pretty hard on the rabbi chap
lain. 1t is also pretty hard on John Sher-
man, who paWned the credit of the gov
eminent, on still harder terms TO the
same alien syndicates. And what has be-
come of home rule in Ireland, with which
four years ago the republicans so deeply
sympathized? 1t seems to need sympathy
now more than ever; yet the platform has
not throb of sympathy except for wise"
temperance and the struggling Cubans

that women be admitted to wider spheres
of usefulness" though we are panied to
find no more ''reafhrming" of the 1-cent

canal, buy the Danish Islands," have a

The dowager empress of China, mother
of the emperor, whose death was report
ed in our dispatches yesterday. was un-
derstood to be the real ruler of the king
dom. She is said to have been a remarka-

been the only person in the Chinese court
able to cope with Ii Hung Chang. When
Ii lost his yellow jacket and peacocks
feather, it was conjectured that the dow
ager empress had good deal to do with

not great deal of use for the Bismarck
of China" She was once a slave, and
was helped to the first place in the en-
pire, for women. by her beauty and wit.

The emptiness of the claim of the pop
ulists that they stand for the public good
cnly-granting for the sake Of the illus
tration that public good could come out
of populist principles-is shown by the
endorsement given Teller, the protection
lists. by the popuhst steering committee
that went to the St Louis convention. and
by the fact that the popullsts of Louis
lana have formed a fusion with the repub-
leans. In the first instance they repu-
date their free trade principles by endors-
ing silver monometallist who is a pro
tectionist, and in the second they
repudiate their fiat silver demands in
forming coalition with a party that has
adopted a sold standard platform. The
fact is, the populists are after the spoils.
and principles may go to the demnition
bow-wows when they stand in the way OF
reaching the spoils.

The Constitutions report of the meet
ing Of the executive committee of the pop
ulists of Fulton county Is interesting. II
is especially so to those who have always
contended that free silver coinage at &c
TO l was a populist, and not a democratic,
doctrine. The foregoing meeting occurred
in Atlanta on Saturday. One of the men,
bers Of the committee is quoted as saying:
1.-The line for us TO pursue" said a lead
ing member, lis to wait for the democrats
TO speak at Chicago. If they say silver
16 to J. then there is no issue on which we
could appeal to the people. That's our
line, and we cannot well take action until
after they make their declaration"
Yes, the 16 to 1 idea belongs to the pop
ulists. No other political party has de-
clared for free silver coinage at that ra-
ito. 1t looks as ii the democratic party
might do 1t at Chicago. If it does, 1t will,
as the populist- committeeman said, get
on to the populist line" and there will
be no occasion for the~existence of the
populist party.
Chairman Taubeneck of the populist
national committee announces that repub-
hcans who bolted at St. Louis and the
populist will work along the same lines
in future. A committee of prominent pop
ulists have issued an address. the chief
purpose of which seems to be to increase
the chances for Senator Teller's nomina-
ton at Chicago. II he should be nominated
by the democrats he would, of course. be
Endorsed by the populists. The outlook for
Mr. Teller at Chicago. however, is not
very encouraging. The democratic party
has presidential timber of its own.

The commercial ratio of the Georgia
watermelon and the silver dollar is about
five to one. 1t is in order to demand
that the government shall institute free
coinage in Georgia watermelons at the
ratio of two melons to one silver dollar
and make them a legal tender for ali
debts, public and private. If that were
done the farmers in the melon belt would
not be bothered with seeking reduced
railroad rates and good markets. and dur
ing the summer months Georgians would
have a most satisfying amount of wealth
in their midst.

and maintain any financial system that
they please. The laws of finance and of

there is no doubt that they can also set
