THE NOMINEES.

The candidates before the Demo-
cratic national convention for the
nomination for president on the Demo-
cratic ticket have been presented, but
no ballots taken They are Bland, of
Missouri; Blackburn, Of Kentucky;
Bryan. of Nebraska; Boies, of Iowa;
| Mclean. of Ohio. and Matthews, of
Indiana. Not an eastern mans name
has been presented for the nomination
for first mace on the ticket From
among these six it is probable that a
candidate viii be selected. To say
which one it will be, would be but idle
conjecture. Bryan seems to have de-
veloped wonderful popularity, but
how many votes it viii carry him. no
one can say. Up to the present Bland
appears 10 be the strongest candidate
Next to him we should say would
come Boies in strength. Matthews
seems TO be the weakest of the lot.
All are western men and this fact will
be very apt TO. cause the convention 70
look for an eastern man for second
place. This choice may fail upon
George Fred Williams. If he consents
to MAKE the race for the place it is
very doubtful if anyone would be in
it with him.
Not gold standard man has been
nominated. The question now arises:
What effect will the two-thirds rule
have upon the selection of silver can
didate? Unquestionably the silver
men themselves will now use it to
de-eat each other, and under such
circumstances its abrogation will be
very difficult matter. The supporters
OF one candidate who has not much
strength will be very averse to allow
ing rival candidate with much
greater strength to be named by a
majority.
Today will surely see the candidates
named and the convention closed.
Who those candidates will be cannot
now be predicted.

THE WHEEL ATTACKED.

There have been many attacks upon
the wheel and it's use from many
sources Medical authorities have dis
agreed as 10 it's effect upon the health
of its devotees, and particularly upon
women. But the latest attack upon
it is by the Woman's Rescue league of
( Washington, an admirable association.
Its object is a most worthy one and
the work that it has accomplished has
been good. Its aims are always good,
! but its methods OF piisning them
not always to be commended, as when
1t seeks to obtain congressional legis-
lation to aid the fallen. But such at
tempts show a lack of knowledge of
our government more than anything
else
The league has issued a formal cir
cular against the wheel. 1t begins with
the unfounded statement that there is
an alarming increase of immortality
among the young women of the Uni
ted States. This circular goes on to
say that the wheeling habit is al
ready responsible for swelling the
standing army of outcast women in
greater measure than any other single
agency. To cap the climax, it de-
clares that the bicycle is the devils
advance agent
All that is the veriest nonsense in
the world. 1t is also a gross insult
to the young women of America who
ride the wheel, and tends to injure
the power of the league for good. 1t
shows how very narrow and cranky
some really good people, with the high
est aims can become. No doubt there
are some immoral people who use the
wheel and for immoral purposes; but
they are comparatively few. With
several million bicycle riders in the
country it is impossible that there
should not be some immoral people
among them. But for the Woman's
Rescue league to make the charge it
does is ridiculous, absurd and really
an outrage.

PHILOSOPHY or D0IlFMIA.

Are there discouraging hours in Bo-
hernia? Does the time come when
even the delights Of freedom pail? Do
shadows. black and Humorous, sweep
across the skies in the country Of the
Free Thought? Aye and aye-but the
Bohemian knows how to meet it and,
though he or she scans the cloud, there
is where the philosophy Of the dweller
shows strongest. List TO the rollicklng
ditty trolled out when even birds t1ut-
ter wildly with their wings blown close
to- the tiny round bodies! The soul ex-
pands at these times-aye, there is Inc
test. Who bows to external circum-
stances? Not the dweller in Bohemia;
not the man or woman of the Free
Speech and the Free Thought.
Why, is not this philosophy strange
ly similar to that life of the soul which
all Christendom loves to hear preach
ed? What is this but absolute faith
in the survival of the spirit? Strange
is it to find this feeling in the land of
true Bohemia-but, my brethren, you
who dwell without know little of this
land. 1 would tell you more of it that
you judge it rightly and spare your
unjust gibes and unkind criticisms

SENATOR HILLS SPEECH.


Senator Hills speech before the Chi
cago convention was masterful at
tempt. It set forth all the arguments
against the majority report on plat
form that could be adduced and they
were as we'll and ably presented as
/ they will be, and we believe as can
< be-
The argument against the declara-
! ton in favor of free silver was clever
but weak. The criticism that to declare
that the gold standard was the British
standard smacked Of demagogy, was
mer;ted.
What the senator had to say about
the income tax was well said, but there
was no force in the argument. The in
come tax became a Democratic issue
when the Democratic party made it
part of its revenue system and it was
unfortunately defeated by being de-
clared unconstitutional There is no
demand that the supreme court be
packed for a decision in favor of the
income tax: but a demand for an
amendment to the constitution giving
congress power to impose one is per-
fectly right and proper. 1t is not an
attempt to plumber the rich but per-
fectly legitimate means of raising reve-
nue. for the government and from those
best able TO contribute it. We know
many Democrats who would be affect
ed by such a law as was declared I'M
constitutional and who are in favor of
it, too.
We are glad that Senator Hill made
his speech; and we are glad that Sena-
tor Villas made his. They presented
the case of those opposed to a decla-
ration in favor of free coinage ably
and fearlessly and were accorded every
attention and treated with all respect
That was their right. Their argu-
ments We're not new nor did they af-
feet the silver men in their determi-
nation to support the majority's re-
port on platform; nor is it likely that
Senators Hill and Villas anticipated
that they would affect the majority or
be able to modify their views. The
gold men cannot claim that they were
not given an opportunity to present
their side of the case; they were, and
it was most ably presented Minori-
ties always make a gallant fight but
it is always the right OF the majority
to rule. That is the right that the

not ingenious to say that the coinage
