Leaving on. the smaller organizations
representing side issues, there are four par
ties now commanding attention. the re-
}ubIican party stands for sound money and
protect.on: the democratic party stands for
free coinage and free trade; the national
democratic party stands for sound money
and free trade. and the populist party for
free coinage, free trade, and government
ownership of almost everything. The room
for union between any two OF these organ
izations is small. Sound money affords
ground for it between the republicans and
the national democrats. and free silver the
ground for it between the democrats and
the popuIists. But upon the face of things,
an impossible barrier would appear to ex-
list between the republicans and the popu-
lists. and between the national democrats
and the populists.

the st. Louis convention he found himself
in position to do something signal and
dramatic for silver. The occasion. to be
improved called for nerve. He and his
western friends were assured that if they
would belt, the action would have a power
full effect in influencing the result at Chi
caGo. There was bolt. Mr.. Dubois and
Mr.. Teller leading it. They did not hest
tate. They asked for no assurances on the
score of their personal fortunes, but cut
themselves Off from their old friends, and
went over confidingly to new ones. They
had no thought, however, of losing any
thing by the transaction.
Mr.. Dubois appears to have reckoned
without his host. The democrats and popu-
lists of Idaho have accepted the fruits OF
his bolt. but decline to consider the matter
of reward. They have even prepared to
make a sacrifice of him. They have fused
on state affairs, and in the dicker the pop
ulists are to control the Legislature If the
combination wins. This of course means
the retirement of Mr. Dubois from the
Senate.
May not the fate of the Idaho Senator
operate as warning among the politicians
throughout the country? 1t is the day for
dickers and deals of all kinds. There is
there is also good deal of ordinary human
nature behind it Men in the lead are
anxious to stay in the lead. while men in
the rear who have long desired to take the
lead are closely studying the situation In
the hope of being able to accomplish thei-
wishes. Men most anxious to serve silver
are yet rot contemplating doing so at the
expense Of their own political lives. A

the negotiatcrs are likely from now on to
insist upon a very thorough understanding
The populists in particular have a good
zeal at stake. They are being asked to

the battle shall lave been won all will be
Well Promises in many instances have
been fatty refused. Mr.. Bryan himself
will make none. His reply when ap-
proach on this point was. Il have trust ed

me- Which is we'll enough for the candi-
date, but not at all satisfactory to the men
who are to pile up the expected majority
Mr.. Bryan may be altogether sincere. but
when the time comes If 1t should come
for dividing up a national winning among
a hungry coalition. the man whose arrange
ments for remembrance are not of the
castiron order Is liable to suffer.
Unless Mr.. Dubois can in some way extri-
cate himself from his present position he
will be a very lonely man. If the demo-
Gratis ard populists reject him he will be
homeless and without sympathy. The reg
ular republicans. naturally enough. In
Idaho. as elsewhere, will rejoice in his
overthrow.

Spain Is sending nearly forty thousand ad-

Spanish plans contemplate rushing cam

the insurgents as belligerents and thus put
