In .uscogee county the money question
is TO be fought out on straightly drawn
lines. The true bimetallists, or sound
money people, and the silver monometal-
lists have each put out ticket of dele
gates to the state convention. 1t may
be expected, therefore. that a Campaign

1t appears that Gov. Bradley Of Ken
lucky means to give Gov. Altgeld of Illi-
nois a race for the title of champion pard-
oner of convicts. From Jan. to May l.
he pardoned 127 convicts. 1t is alleged
that all of his benefciaries were either

Protective Association. The day Gov.
Bradley took office he pardoned in adj
vance of trial an American Protective
Association leader arrested for carrying
concealed weapons. Thirty-two Of the

May Be a Triangular Fight.
From the Baltimore Head Dem.l

The situation, therefore. as it already
begins to present itself, promises a tri-
angular contest for the presidency. The
republicans viii stand for protection and
revenue reform; the eastern and northern
democrats viii declare for sound money
and free trade, while the disaffected fol-
lowing of both parties, reinforced by the
populists may sound the tocsin for free
silver. If such should be the case, the
breaking up of parties and the reorganiza-
ton of political units would present
some interesting features for special
lead to possibilities which cannot now
be fully measured.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Under Mckinley.
From the Boston Globe (Dem.).

If Mckinley should, by any chance,
be elected to the presidency he will prob
ably discontinue the custom of sending
presidential messages to congress. When
the time for his first annual message
arrives it would be true Mckinley tactics
for him to send his private secretary
to the House and Senate with the an
nouncement The president has nothing
to say"

Public sentiment generally will acqu!-
esce in the finding of the court in the
case of the Pearl Bryan murder. 1t APP
pears that the trusting girl was twice
a victim to the depraved man or men,
who finally took her life and mutilated
her corpse in a fr.ghtful manner That
her murderer was not lynched. but was
brought to a speedy trial and convicted,
is triumph of law over the mob spirit
The trial and conviction show that the
organized machinery of the law may be
depended upon to mete out justice when
its managers are determined that justice
shall be done. There was an absence of
red tape and hair splitting about the case
that should be an example in criminal
trials nearer home.

In the event of trouble between this
country and Spain because of the Cuban
affair, the fighting would be done by the
navies of the two powers. 1t is interest
ing, therefore, to note the comparative
naval power of the two countries, and
it is gratifying to observe that the Ameri-
can navy is larger as to numbers and
IS made up of modern and more powerful
ships and guns. The United States could
put into service almost at once seventy
