nearest the grain, and that is last to

Not Boiling

Not Boltiug
The gold organs are publishing q list
OF Democratic newspapers which are
alleged to have bolted the Chicago nom-
nations. That the list is wholly unre-
liable is proved by an examination Of
several of these papers themselves. On
this list are the New Orleans Picayune
and the New Orleans States. A Sun
special from New Orleans says:
UNLESS a sound-money Democratic
ticket is placed in the field there will be
no newspaper bolt from the Democratic
party In Louisiana and Mississippi. The
New Orleans States announces that 1t
will support sound-money Democrat,
but not Mckinley. and that If 1t has to
choose between Mckinley and Bryan
it will go for the latter. The New Or
leans Picayune, also for sound money
denounces the ticket but will support 1t.
The New Orleans Item, the Republican
paperis strong for free silver, but will
support Mckinley
1.-The Louisiana Republicans are large
ly in favor of free silver and their can
didate for governor at the recent elec-
ton. Pharr is outspoken in favor of
free silver, but they will all stick to Nc
Kinley. In New Orleans there have
been few Democratic converts to Nc
kinley on the financial issue. The Pop
ulists are, almost without exception,
for Bryan, the federal officials all of
port the Chicago ticket.
Nearly all the Mississippi Sound
money newspapers accept the ticket,
but under a protest. The Natchez
Democrat denounces the ticket, but will
support it. The Jackson News declares
that Bryan is as much a Populist as
Democrat, and not man who will in
spire confidence, but it will support him.
With the possible exception of the Vicks-
burg Post none of the Mississippi sound
money papers are likely to oppose the
Chicago nominations. New York Spe-

tempting to anticipate the report Of the
committee, we would say that the only
safety lies in effecting strictly local
party organization of citizens in the
manner suggested at the meeting by Mr..
Clarence A. Miller, copying the methods
OF organization pursued by other par
ties, particularly in the appointment of
a central committee for the purpose of.
keeping the party alive. The weakness
of former reform movements has been
made conspicuous by the neglect of these
precautions, and dissolution has been
inevitable as soon as the first flush of
enthusiasm had died down.
The existing system of running the
municipal government on lines of ma
tional party politics results in the sep
aration of citizens into opposing bodies
for reasons that have nothing to do with
the case; consequently, the choice of
candidates by the Republicans, for in
stance. is limited to selection from
among about half the population, the
Democrats and other parties being ham
pered In a similar manner. A city party
being subject to no such restrictions
would have the whole field free to choose
from, and ought to succeed in making
the best choice of competent people to
attend to the business of this big cor
poration.-The Investor.

Editor Herald: Classical literature
tells us of the fruitless efforts'of Dinai-

When we were children we tried the
same experiment. We quit it when we
reached the years of accountability.
The bankers of the United States are
now trying to fill the sieve Of the treas
ury with gold, but as the gold pours in
other bankers stand by with greenbacks
in hand to draw it out. Thus is repeated
every few months this silly effort. In
order to fill this sieve few months ago,
the treasury being practically empty,
