FUSION AT ST. LOUIS.

The cunningly devised scheme of Alt
geld. Tlllman and others to obtain from
the PopuIist Convention at St. Louis an
Endorsement of the Democratic Presiden-
tial ticket is likely to go as far astray as
did the plans of the Republican boilers to
bring about the nomination of Teller at
Chicago. The two schemes are of SINH
lar nature and the fate of the one presages
the fate of the other.
In some of the prairie States fusion of
Democrats and Populists may be effected.
Such fusions have taken place in the past,
and while they always resulted in con-
fusion wherever a victory was gained it
may be possible to induce men to try
them again. In the far West, however,
there are several States where there is
hardly a Democratic party at all, and in
those States the Populist leaders are
hardly fools enough to surrender their
organization for the sake of the few votes
that possibly might be gained by fusion.
In this State the ablest Populist leaders
have already declared themselves against
the proposition and the Pacific Coast dele
gates will, as a rule, be against it in the
convention.
1t will be in dealing with the delegates
from the Southern States that the fusion
managers will find their greatest difficulty.
In that section of the Union the Populists
are much more likely TO fuse with Re-
publicans than with their bitter oppo-
nents, the Bourbon Democrats. The men
from Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi
who have seen their voters crowded from
the polls by Democratic bulldosers and
L.
honesty of Democratic election officers
viii hardly be willing to yield themselves
up in abject surrender to the very party
which has most wronged them and in
suited them in every election since the
Pcpuiist party was organized.
If the Populists were a well-organized,
well-disciplined body, with popular Pres
idential candidate of its own, it would be
easy to see that the convention would not
indorse Bryan. IL is simply because the
party lacks conference that any uncertainty
is felt regarding the probable action at St.
Louis. Most of the delegates will be men
who have had very little experience in the
conduct of political affairs. They will
find at st. Louis no leaders to whom they
will yield prompt following. They have
been in the habit of going their own wav.
and when they meet will be about as divided
in mind and uncertain in temper as were
the Democrats at Chicago. They will be
liable, therefore, to be stampeded either
for Democracy or against Democracy at
any time after the proceedings begin.
1t is the uncertainty in the minds of the
delegates which gives interest to the con-
vention. No one can at present foresee
from what quarter q stempeding power
may come, if, indeed, it comes at all. Tbs

THE DIFFERENCE.

It was a short but mastery speech Mr..
Mckinley made before the Foraker Club.
The Chicago convention has just COM
pleted its work of declaring fora sectional
policy should its nominees be elected.
The whole country stood appalled, at the
triumph OF Altgeldism over the conserva-
tive element of the convention. The news
had been conveyed to Mr.. Mckinley and it
was then that the Foraker Club of Cieve-
land marched up and as he addressed its
memb ers and the large crowd that fol-
lowed, he seemed to gather fresh inspira-
ton at each word spoken. He said there
is now Imposed upon the people of this
country responsibility and duty greater
than any since the Civil War" at was a
contest to save the Union then" he said.
We all know what the people did in that
contest and we have unbounded faith that
they will do their duty well and
thoroughly in this contest between the
honor, the integrity and the prosperity of
the country, and the efforts of the Bryans
and the Altgelds and the Tillmans to set
community against community and Sec
ton against section, and then turn the
country over to the mercy of foreign mills
and factories.
In concluding his speech, Mr.. Mckinley
said: "Our creed embraces an honest
dollar, an untarnished National credit,
adequate revenues for the uses Of the Gov
eminent, protection to labor and industry,
preservation of the home market and
reciprocity which will extend our foreign
markets" This differs from the creed OF
the Chicago convention as widely as mid
night differs from midday. No one need
be told of the importance of an honest
dollar-dollars of gold and silver and
paper-not silver or gold or paper exclu-
siyely, nor is there a man so stupid who
does not know that money is required to
maintain the Government. The question
is, then, Shall we oblige foreign makers OF
goods and wares who fetch their products
to our markets to contribute the required
sums of money needed for the Nation S
expense account? Or shall we let them
come free of toll, and oblige our own peo-
pie to contribute from their income2 Mr..
Bryan says the latter is the better way.
and Mr.. Mckinley says such a policy
would close all our shops and mills and
cast adrift in idleness our millions oil
wage-earners. Is rot Mr.. Mckinley right
1t does not become the new Democracy
to talk about Lombard street and Brit
ish-American syndicates" in condemna.
tion and charge the Republican party with
encouraging 'gold relations" with Europe
| It is the central idea of the Republican
party that other countries shall not com
pete on equal ground with our people in
our peoples markets, but that they mus
pay good round tax for that privilege
But the Bryan-Altgeld central idea is thai
foreign goods and wares shall not only be
let in free to override our merchants and
manufacturers. but that they should be
encouraged to come. Mckinley stands fol
American markets for the products Of
Americans, and Mr.. Bryan stands fol-
American markets for foreign products
That is the difference between the new
Democracy and old Republicanism, which
is the same yesterday, to-day and forever.

The Presbyterian Orphanage and Farm
Is Overcrowded.
At the monthly meeting of the Presby-
terrain Orphanage and Farm yesterday 1t
was stated that ten new children had been
admitted during the past month. As the
home is already overcrowded it was re-
solved to take cottage adjoining 1t.
Applications having been received from
several quarters for children for adoption
the board decided yesterday that the or
phanage would allow papers of adoption
to be taken out for children who after
three months trial decided that they
would like to stay in the families wishing
to adopt them. The following ladies were
appointed a home-finoing committee:
Mrs. E. NJ Stevens, Mrs. S. S. Palmer.
Mrs. w. B. Noble, Mrs. n. Fish, Mrs. T.
+. Day, Mrs. Robert Coyle and Mrs. w.
A. McRae.
The orphanage is issuing an appeal for
groceries and soap, of which it stands
badly in need. Wells, Fargo & Co. will
carry the groceries to San Rafael free of
charge.
