Al DOG INT TIE MANaER.
LFrom the Kansas City Star (GoId
Standard1.T

LFrom the Kansas City Star Gold
Standard)-I
The attitude Of Thomas Il. Watson Of
Georgia fla the present canvass is that
Of the dog in the manger. He stands
as an unyielding obstacle to a union Of
the forces which are opposed to the
gold standard. and with what seems to
be a deliberate purpose ON his part, he
imperils the success of the cause to
which he processes to be devoted.
While Mr.. Watson may not be open
to the charge Of venality ia this matter.
he is, none the less, confusing the issue
which this canvass is designed to set
tile, and is doing all in his power to
perpetuate the silver agitation. II he
remains in the field as a candidate for
vice president and Bryan is defeated.
Watson and his followers win claim
that the verdict was not final. because
Of a division among the free silver for
ces and that will furnish an apollo
gy for again precipItating contention
over the currency with an Of its costly
evils
Watson belongs to a party which
thrives upon popular tumult and com
motion. The corner stone Of POpuIism
IS opposition to the existing order.
whatever that order may be. With the
money question definitely settled, the
occupation of the Populist party would
be gone and Its leaders would be driven
into obscurity and retirement This
unwelcome prospect is sufficient to
intreneh Tom Watson in his purpose
to forestau and prevent harmony
among the believers in free silver. but
that motive Is not sufficient to Justify
him in a course which aims to prOlong
indefinitely a harmful controversy and
to postpone a revival of public conf
dence.

MICHIGAN Is FOR SILVER.
Henry George Thinks the Prospects
Rosy for Bryan

New York, Oct. 10.-AIr. Henry
George, who has been writing daily to
the Journal on the political situation
ln the Middle states, has removed his
field of outlook to Michigan a part Of
his letter from Detroit follows;
The first impression one gets in
Detroit of the political situation in
Michigan is that of perplexity- OF course
there are on each side those who are
certain. AS it was expressed to me, the
Republicans are confused, While the
Democrats are like a man who has
been accustomed to lose in lotteries, but
who suddenly thinks he has Won a
prize. yet fears 1T too good to be true.
All the information I get Is that
the Workingmen of this city, organized
or unorganized, win be almost unanl-
nous for Bryan In Mayor Pingree's
shoe shops there are clubs of both COM
plexi0ns. but when I asked what the
relative membership indicated, / was
told that it was l6 to more than is
for Bryan TO one for any one else.
THE turning of the Republicans to
the Democratic candidate, which. con-
coded as to the farmers, Is reducing
the most snguine claims of the ATcKin-
ley men 60 a majority of a few thou

admit that the state is now SO close

Evangelist Moody Conceives a Phil
anthropic Idea

Boston, Oct 10.-Dwight L-MOody, the
evangelist, came to Boston from North
field last Monday and delivered an ad-
dress in fremont Temple.
Mr. Moody told his congregation that
In riding down through the country he
saw bushels and bushels of apples ly-
ing on the ground rOtting- He said that
all through Massachusetts the crop of
apples is so large that the farmers do
not know what to do with it, so Mr.
Moody suggested that the people Of
Boston raise q fund to be sent out into
the country to gather these apples and
pay the freight on them to the city,
where they might be distributed among
the poor.
The suggestion fell upon the ears Of
City Missionary Waldron and he has is
sued an appeal for money. So the poor

ing all the apples they want free.

"My belief is that the Populists
will carry Texas this year, whether
the Democrats split, as appears pos
sible, OF stick together" said Msj
w. NJ. Walton of Austin, at the
Metropolitan.
Maj. Walton is one Of the rotable
men of the Lone Star State. For
years he has been regarded as the
peer of any lawyer in its limits. He
has been AttorneyGoneral, and un-
til three or four years ago, was one
of the shining lights of the Demo
cratic Party. In his latter days,
however, he has gone over TO the
Populists, who welcomed him ia
their ranks with enthusiasm.
''lf We can only get a fair count
