HOW WILL. THE TWO WORK.

The Republican party has put forth
its national platform. 1t is an elabo.
rate thing, skilfully constructed, with
the main end in view of catching votes.
It seeks to conciliate all interests, ex-
cept that of free silver, and the party
turned it's back on that issue when it
was made plain to the leaders that it
could not straddle but had to meet it
sqnarely. The leaders had to choose
between sound money and free and
unlimited coinage, and believing they
had more to expect by declaring for
sound money, they unceremOniously
pitched tree coinage out Of the window.
In throwing out their bats for votes,
they did not forget the sugar planters.
To satisfy these, they. gave the Demo-
cratic party a dig in the ribs, and in
dulsed in some nigh sounding phrases
about protecting sugar. In what shape
that protection is to come, they have
studiously avoided to declare, where
as, in their discussion in the committee
on platform it leaked out that the
solons were not agreed some being in
favor Of a duty, others, fewer in num-
Der, for a bounty.
In the face of that high sounding
declaration intended to coddle the
sugar planters and to capture their
support, we have the we'll established
fact that the Republican party is on
record as in favor of u tree breakfast
table, that is. free sugar, and a we'll
defined public opinion against the
bounty system.
Added to this, is the fact that the
same platform declares in unmistaka-
ble terms in favor Of reciprocity, and
it seems we'll nigh impossible to estab-
lish reciprocity with ON of our
neighbors without admitting their
sugars free. AS We have pointed out
in a recent issue, reciprocity is a new
danger which encompasses sugar, and
it Is now a very serious one indeed.
1t now remains to be seen how MANY
of our people will nibble at this clev-
erly set bait Of the Republican plat
form makers. 1t will no doubt catch
some of the unwary and thOugbtless
but it ought to deceive no intelligent
and we'll informed man who knows
something Of the history of the two
great parties in this country.
Promises aud platform declarations
of a party are as but sounding brass
and cymbals by the side of solemn acts
Of that party performed in the course
of legislative duties.
The Republican party might have
done something for sugar in the Con-
gress just adjourned. If it had tried it
not only failed to try but it refused to

ARCHBISHOP BENSON DEAD.

He Passes Away Suddenly While AL
 tending Services at London.
 LONDON. Oct. l3.-The archbishop of Canterberry was seized with apoplexy after the service commenced at Hawar- den church Sunday morning. He was carried to the Hawarden rectory, where he died at Il 30 o'clock while the rector, Rev, Stephen Gladstone, was reading the absolution Archbishop Benson, who was kneeling, was seen to twich in the arm for few minutes and he then collapsed altogether Henry Gladstone finding the archbishop had dangerous seizure called to the clerk and others who carried him into the library ad- joining the rectory. Doctors were hastily summoned. The stricken prelate was gasping painfully for breath. Applica- tions Of ether and other means to in- duce artificial respiration were resorted to.
 Mir. Gladstone, the rector, announced the eillness to the congregation, who were waiting in painful suspense He asked for their prayers during the itany.
 All efforts to rally the distinguished patient proved vain and he died in a few minutes.
 Henry Gladstone whispered the news  to the rector, who announced the bish- ops death, the news causing a profound sensation among the worshippers in the church, The hymn, Forever With the Lord" was sung and the deadmarch was played, all present standing and showing themselves to be deeply af- feeted.s.
 The official medical announcement of the death to the coroner states it was due to apoplexy. The medical attend ants concur in the opinion that heart failure caused his death, but this was directly due to seizure. Mrs. Benson was present at the time of her hus- bands death and afteward went to Ha- warden castle. The bells wore tolled and references were made to the death of the primate of all England in many of the churches in the kingdom last night.

A sPsctAL correspondent in the Memphis Commercial- Appeal writ ing from Chicago says that Tillman and Waite will make speeches throughout the State of Illinois from now until the end of the cam paign. In our opinion this will make Illinois very doubtful State. Tillman and Bloody Beidles" Waite will do the Democratic party more harm than good. The people of Illinois are sensible and a conser- vative people, and such radical extremists as Tillman and Waite will only tend to disgust the voters of Illinois with party that gives prominence to such radical extrem- ists. There are many able Demo- cratic statesmen advocating free silyer-statesme whose abilities do not admit of any question ing, and whose opinions are respected throughout the Nation-and such as these should be sent to speak in Illinois. Tillman and Waite have both been repudia- ted at home, and neither commands respect at home or abroad. They have merely been temporarily brought to the surface by reason of the distress and discontent of a large number of the people, like the drift that is tossed to the top of the waves while the storm rages only to disappear entirely from view when calm is restored.

ENGLAND AS 1 LAND CRAB
 BER,
BER


 Lord Rosebery s remarkable state ment as to the extent of the terri tory acquired by Great Britain within twelve years-about ?, 300, 900 square miles-c4lls attention to the extraordinary love of land grab ping which has always character ized British statesmanship.
 The British Empire now extends over 11,000,0 ,0G0 square miles, and yet the hunger of land is as sharp as it was at any former period.
 Looking at the vast territory and the vast population which she rules in Australia and Oeeanica, in Asia, in Africa and in America, one marvels at her evident purpose to still spread her power. It is re markable, too, that most of her ex- tensions have been the result of purchase or of diplomatic settle ment, at least during the reign of the Queen Victoria.
 Only few months ago she pur, chased the Delagoa Bay, including the whole country back of it, clear to the Limpopo River, thus increas- Ing her area by over three hundred thousand square miles and her pop ulation by about 1.5O0.0 600. There is little doubt, too, but that she will control Egypt and the soudan.
 It is this land hunger carried to excess which has prevented her taking independent action in con- nection with the settlement of the ever-present Eastern question. Will her greed for territorial power eventually result in her downfall2- | ReDublic.

ulist. The new ticket will support Bryan for president, and that is all we know, since on entering into the fusion no conditions as to the can didate for the yice-presideney We're demanded or even suggested. Tue Democrat protests against this al lianee for the following reasons: There is no warrant of authority for it in party law or precedent. No authority to make such fusion was granted by the Democratic State Convention, or by the Demo cratic electors, and no such action was contemplated by the conYen- tiou. The committee have the same right to remove q Democratic nomi- nee for governor OF a nominee for congress, that they have to dis place a nominee for presidential elector. They have as much right to meet next week and remove two of the fusion ticket and substitute for them the names of H. l.. Rem mel and Henry M Cooper, as they had to displace Jefferson Davis, j.. T. Robinson and H. r. Smead, to make room for Messrs. Sovereign, Arnold and Tanner. The fusion effected involves the possible and probable defeat of Arthur Sewall, |, the Democratic nominee for the vice e-presidency, aud the election of either Watson or Hobart. Every Democrat in Arkansas is as fully committed to the support of Sewall as he is to Bryan, and any arrange men ts which might result in the de- feat of the former by the Democrats would be betrayal of the ticket, and breach of party faith, which can not be defended or justified. ssIf SewaiI is not nominated, said Mr. Bryan in a telegram to Senator Jones at St Louis. with draw my name from the convention. The same honor aud good faith that i'm pelled Mr. Bryan to stand by his associate should govern every Dem oerat today.
 It is a blending of inharmonious and discordant elements in politics for temporary success, or the prom ise of it, which ought to find no place with Democracy. 1t is an un- natural alliance, out of which no good can come. In 1872, the Dem ocracy formed an unnatural alliance with the Liberal Republicans in order to beat Grant. We all know what became of it. It is asking too much of an Arkansas Democrat to ask him to support Populists who, as allies, have been cast off by the Republicans. It is ching unpre- eedented and utterly indefensible for Democrats to put up an electoral ticket which may be means of de- feating one of their nominees. "Fhe Democrat is pledged to the sup port of Bryan and Sewall. It is in honor bound to support them as the nominees of it's party. It will not support the Populists on the cleo toral ticket, because that involves the betrayal of Sewall and the prob able election of Hobart. We do not question the sincerity or the motives of the gentlemen who have brought about this fusion Their intentions are good, but the policy they advocate means ruin to the Democratic party"
