THE TRUE MEANING OF 1T.

Discussing the remarks we have made
from time to time upon the provisions Of
the Chicago platform that were inserted
at the dictation of Altgeld, a friend has
asked us If we really believe that the plat
form contemplates allowing a mob to bum
property and threaten lives in the streets
Of great cities. our reply to that Is this:
We must remember that the provision was
inserted upon the demand Of Altgeld, who
has shown great sympathy with Anar-
chists, and that 1t has direct reference to
what took place in Chicago at the time
Of the riots in 1894. Altgeld thinks that
when the employees Of a railroad corpora
ton fail out with it, as the employees OF
the Chicago railroads fell out with them,
the controversy should be left to the
railroads and the employees for settlement
with riotng on the one hand and PIN
kertons on the other, and that Govern
ment should mt interpose with III strong
hand TO prevent what almost amounts 10
civil war. That is exactly the size Of the
case. II you should ask Altgcld whether
he desired anarchy in matter Of THAI
sort he would no doubt say that he did
not. But he desires that in a case Of
that sort the whole affair shall be left
10 the railroads and the employees, and
that the railroads shall have 10 take such
That is what the provision OF the plat
form regarding government 10y injunc-
tion MEANS that is what the convention
understood 1t to mean. and Mr.. Bryan,
who thinks the platform a second De
clararlon OF Independence declares that II
he is elected lie will see it enfcSced IN
letter and spirit just as it was understood
and intended TO be understood. 1t is
as certain, therefore, as anything in
the future can he, that If Mr.. Bryan were
President and condition Of affairs arose
in Chicago during his administration Ike
that which confronted Mr.. Cleveland in
the summer Of 1884 he would not send
Federal troops there 70 sustain the orders
and DEGREES OF tie United States courts.
and TO prevent the mob from arresting in
;orsiate commerce and the transportation
Of the mails by burning and destroying
the property Of the railroads
And II such scenes as transpirei IN
Chicago ia the summer OF 1894 are 10 he

IS no power under our institutions ade-
quate 10 dealing with them and com.
pellins all parties TO respect and submit
to the laws. we had just as well tear up
our Constitution. throw its fragments into

cago platform holds out TO us.

SPAIN OUGHT NOT TO IXTERMI-
NATE Us.

1t is not quite clear whether the Spanish
people have lost their reason or whether
unreliable statements OF the condition OF
sDublic opinion In Spain come TO this coun-
try. But IL the reports that are sent
here from time to time from Spain furnish
a true exponent Of the actual state Of
feeling there towards this country then
the whole Spanish nation would seem TO
have suffered from a touch of lunacy.
II we are to believe the published re-
ports. all Spaniards now look on II as a
part OF their religion TO hate America and
Americans with very cordial hatred.
and the demand is very general amongst
them that Spain shall go 10 war with US
at once. the end OF which war they all
,belleve will be the humiliation OF the
United States.
The state Of public feeling In Spain is
sufficiently inexplicable. but that Span
iards should have the idea Of the relative
power and resources OF the two countries
that they seem TO have is positively be-
wildering. How could they expect an
effete and impoverished nation like Spain.
with twenty millions of inhabitants. to be
an equal match for this nation Of seventy
millions Of people and with greater wealth
and resources Of every sort than any
other nation now has or than any other
nation ever had in the history of the
world?
If they would read little modern his
tory they would learn that thirty-hve
years ago. when we were a nation Of only
thirty millions we divided into two ma
tions. and each one put forth efforts that
were far beyond anything Spain was able
20 do when she was IN the zenith OF her
power. II IS not too much TO say that
either one OF the two armies that fought
at Gettysburg would give Spain all the
annoyance she would like TO have. Tho

and send them an TO the bottom in less
than one hours engagement al short

Gus. absurd. and childish for the Spanish
people TO talk OF going 70 war with the
United States.
Further. there Il no feeling in the United
States towards Spain or the Spanish PEG
pie that would justify them in making a
breach with us. Indignation at Spaln's
barharous and brutal treatment OF the
Cubans does sometimes get a small start

conclusion that II is not our business 10
take care OF Cuba, and that the cnbahs
will have TO make the best out OF the mat
ter that they can. when we get over these
fits OF irritation our sentiments towards
Spain are all kindly. We look upon her
as an old-tlme out-of-date country
poisoned from centre TO circumference
with the ideas OF arbitrary and tyrannical
government. that have come down to her
along with blgotry in religion. from the
feudal ages. our feelings towards her
are therefore all OF a plying and sym

The Spanish people must revise their
feelings towards us. therefore. and make
up their minds that the case does not
really call for our determination and

THE CURIOUS COMBINE.

The P0pulist Congressman SKINNER OF
North Carolina. in discussing the ad'isa-
bit, OF the Populist Convention at ST.
Louis endorsing Bryan and the chicago
platform, said to a reporter we fopu-
lists OF North Carolina will not vote
for Sewal under any circumstances.
They would rather remain at home and
not vote at all"
We have no idea that this IS fact.
The St. Louis Convention will ratiy
the Chicago nominations even If 1t shal
not have done so before these lines fall
under the eyes Of our readers, and all
Of the Populists will vote for the nomi-
neos. The Populsts want no better
Populist platform than the Chicago pat
form. and they want no better Populist
for a candidate than Mr.. Bryan. When all
the wrangling is through. therefore. they
will ratify his nomination.
But Mr. sknnsr's remarks certainly
serve TO emphasize the absurdity OF the
action Of the Chicago Convention in de-
nouncing the national banks and then
selecting the president Of a national bank
as its candidate for vice-president. Sure
" there has been no such agglomeration
since the witches stow as has been sought
TO be brought together by the Chicago
platforus for Mr.. Bryans election.
Senator Faulkner. who declares that
he viii support Bryan. protests that he
will have no combination with the Popu-
lists. but at the moment he IS utter
