THE SOUTH AND WEST
Wide Difference of Populist Feeling in the
Two Sections.
In the Former the POpulists Hate the
Democrats md In the Latter They
Hate the Republicans.

An illustration of the fact that politics
makes strange bedfellows'' is found in the
vote at st. Louis on the matter OF indorsing
or nominating Sewall for the vice presiz
dency. 1t is fruitful source of comment
among politicians here WHO have kept track
of the political conditions In the south and
west.
Almost unit the western populsts
voted for Bryan. while those from the
south voted against him. The peculiar and
interesting part OF this is found in the fact
that the southern ropulists were formed
almost a whole, from the democratic
party. and thar fully S5 per cent of them
were democrats. On the other hand the
western populist party is made up almost
exclusively of former republicans. To see
SeWa1i voted for by former republicans ana
voted against by former democrats is rath-
er novel. The most intense and bitter feel
ing against him was shown by the south
ernerS.
How 1t is Explained.
Various explanations of the attitude of
the populists are given. One is that the To-
cal conditions in the states make it neces-
sary that there should be wide breach of
opinion. Another element which probably
has great deal to do with it is the hatred
of the populists OF the south for their for
mer democratic brethren, and the same
feeling OF the western populists fer repub-
Hcans. In the south The man who once
;.itiIated with the democrats and became u
populist is almost ostracised socially. No
IoNe Is lost between the members of the
Two parties. Almost the feeling eX-
lists in the west between the pCpullStS and
republicans. 1t IS natural, it is argued, that
The western popullStS should seek aItlilatlon
with The democrats, with whom they have
fused at different times, and that the south
ern populists should repel alliance with
their IueS.
Carolina and TilIinan.
Many people have an idea that South
Carolina is full OF wild populistic ideas,
but ii is a noticea bic fact that there is not
a delegate from that state to st. Louis.
This is explained in way that may change
another popular iuea that Senator TliIman
is populIst. In 1872 and again in 1894

The State makes the levy for school
taxes and the amount of $3.50, 900 appor-
toned 90 San Francisco does not come
from local taxes, yet it is expended for the
support of local schools. AS matter of
fact San Francisco pays into the treasury
a much larger sum on the State school tax
account than is received in the apportion-
ment to counties.
The inheritance tax collected by the
County Clerk and which now amounts to
$3.50 900, that sum having been collected
by County Clerk Curry, goes into the
State school fund. In the division of the
funds to the different counties San Fran
cisco will get her share of this $3.50 900.
The County Clerks Office, counting
the inheritance tax, is more than
a self-sustaining institution. 1t costs to
run the Office $40, 500 month, or $126, 600
year. The ordinary fees collected
amount to 5000 a month, or $96 600 per
annum. Adding this amount to the
inheritance tax at the approximate figure
fee shows a clear gain over and above
running expenses of $4,000. This is due
to an intelligent, economical and business
like Republican administration. Good
salaries are paid to capable men and the
fees due the public are collected and paid
into the treasury.
A careful study of estimates shows that
DTOVlUe
ample money for ordinary expenses and
leave wide margin for public improve
m ent and adornment.
Every cent on valuation of three hun
hundred and forty millions will produce
$4,000. One hundred cents will therefore
yield So 100000. 1t might be fair to de-
duct 100000 for delinquency in collection
oftaxes. With this deduction the amounts

Every member of the Grand jury and

sum is money in abundance. Could or

the conduct of municipal affairs the CITY
could be governed for 81 10000 less than

The Burden Family Notified.

New YORK, April 1S.-The Burden
family received two cablegrams from
the Scotland Yard police which salts
fed them that Dunlop and Turner
were the thieves, and that the dia-
mcnds found in their possession are the
Burden Jewels. 1t was reported hat
the Burdens intend to sail at once for
Europe, as 4 result of the arrest of
the two men. Dunlop is said to have
been butler in the Burden household,
while Turner had charge of the door.
Capt. O'Brien denied positively
Thursday that there was any truth in
the story that the Burden robbers
were to be arrested i'll London. 1t Is
supposed hat he made this denial for
the purpose of withholding any facts
about the matter in his possession I'M
til he had received official communica-
ton from the Scotland Yard that the
men were in custody. If they refuse
to come to New York without being
extradited, there will be considerable
delay in bringing the prisoners back
to this country.
Very likely Central office men will
be sent across the ocean for them.
The robbery occurred at Mr.. l..
Townsend Burdens city residence, No.
5 East Twentv-siXth street, On. the
night of December - of last year,
while all but one member of the fami-
" were at the theater. Nearly all OF
the jewels were locked up in a small

\ Thieves, Dunlop and Turner, by Scotland
A., Yard Inspectors Froest and Hare-Ths
Burdens Will Go to London at Once. l
! LONDON, April 1S.-Two men, giving
! heir names as Dunlap and Turner,
and describing themselves as gentle
men servants" were arraigned IN the
Marlborough street police court
Thursday, charged with having in
heir possession IS diamonds, aggregat-
ing e3, OOOin value, for possessing which
hey were unable to give any salts
factory account. Dunlap said they a
rot the diamonds from the old jew In
Hatton Garden. Turner said he asst
employed by 4 gentleman in New York
AID had left hat situation in Febru-
airy last. The two men were remanded
for Il week without bail.
Police Inspector Froest searched the
lodgings of the men and found there
iewelry worth 10000. 1t is believed
that the jewels are the proceeds of the
-obbery of the residence of ]. Towns

iSo. IL ID uANClolopo lhdl 'AoHSNtDA
Froest who arrested the men IS en-
titled to 81. 600 reward.
Police Inspector Froest said TO a
representative OF the United Press to-
lay hat he had often seen Dunlop and
Turner within the last few days in
the neighborhood of Bond street.
From their dress, manner and general
appearance, he thought there was
something suspicious about them. and
Yesterday he and Inspector Hare deter
mined to ascertain their character. He
had not expected, however, to find the
burden robbers and. as Il matter of
fact, had no description of them.
The circumstances We're that he and
Inspector Hare virtually seized them
without any particular preteXt and
searched them in the street. They
found the two packages Of diamonds
in DunlOp's breast pocket, and after
locking their prisoners up, wen to
their lodgings, where they found 500
700 worth of jewelry and diamonds,
many of the latter being loose stones,
a quantity Of which were contained in
channels leather belts. Inspectors
FroeSt and Hare believe they have Sc
cured the entire proceeds of the Bur-
den robbery. and Il claim for the re-
ward has been sent to Mr.. Burdens
solicitors.
The quantity of jewelry received is
immense. and is by far the largest
haul the police have made in years.

day called the name of Joseph Lewis

than a million dollars. The story that
Developed at hat time was the talk of
the clothing trade for months after
ward.
The dispatch announcing the suicide
purported to come from an undertaken
of Philadelphia.
