Cnred of His Folly.

Dugald Crawford, the wealthy St. Louis
merchant, who discharged a dozen or
more of his employees a few days ago
because they had declared their intention
of voting for the presidential candidate
who favors the free coinage of silver
quickly repented of his folly. He has Of
fered to restore the clerks to their posi-
tions, and some of them have accepted
his offer His act was that of a man be-
reft of his senses. He might have known
that his act would arouse against him
public sentiment, which would manifest
itself in an extremely bitter manner.
However, he seemed, when he discharg-
ed his employees, to want the whole world
to know of the action he had taken. He
told them to go out into the streets and
proclaim the fact of their discharge and
the cause of it,
The charge is frequently made by the
democrats that republican employers are
coercing their employees, and Mr.. Bryan
in his speeches Is taking particular pains
to urge employees to show their indie
pendence and vote in accordance with
their convictions. st. Louis case is the
only one of Importance that has found its
way into the newspapers where an en-
ployer has gone to the length of discharg-
ing employees for expressing a purpose to
vote contrary to his wishes. In view of
the sensation which that case has caused
it is hardly probable that there will be
another similar case during this cam
palgn.
The people insist upon the utmost
liberty in the use of the ballot. They will
not tolerate coercion of any sort. The
idea that because an employer offers his
employees an opportunity to earn a living
he has some sort of right to control their
votes has very few defenders. He can
urge them to accept his political views
but when he attempts to coerce them he
encounters a public sentiment fatal to
his purpose.

A company in Great Britain has bought
10000 acres Of land in Central Africa and
intends to make the experiment of trans
porting and colonizing negroes from the
British West Indies. The company is
said to have a plenty Of money to carry
out its project. Many attempts at colo
mixing negroes from this side of the ocean
in Africa have been made but not one
of them has been great success. 1t
seems that the black man develops better
everywhere else than in his natural home
England is a great colonizer, however
and II may prove that she will succeed
where others have failed. The expert
ment will be watched with interest at
all events.

Col Peek of the Fifth district says he
does not propose to permit any set of poll
ticians to play peek-a-boo with his pros
poets for congress; he has been nominated
by the populists and means to stick. The
average populist nomination does not
amount to a great deal, but some people
who get them seem disposed to hang on
to them like grim death to dead dog.

The drift. of English liberal politics
seems to be inevitably toward Mr.. Glad
stone. With Rosebery out and Harcourt
out, the party seems to be in something
of a bad way. 1t may be doubted that
there is a man in England except Mr.
Gladstone who could take hold and speed
lily rehabilitate the party. The question
is Will he take hold? VIII his age per-
init of his once more entering actively into
political life?

What possible connection can there be
between silver oratory and sore throat?
Jokes barred in the answer. 1t really
appears that there is an epidemic Of sore
throat among the leading silver advocates.
Senator Teller could not speak at Chica-
go meeting the other night because of
sore throat; Senator Blackburn is i'll with
a sore throat; Mr.. Watson's throat is so
sore that he can scarcely converse; Con-
gresham Bailey of Texas is a sufferer
from throat trouble; Richard p. Bland is
reported to be indisposed and to have a
sore throat, so that he cannot make
any speeches for the time being Mr.
Bryan's throat is also said to be sore, but
everybody knows why that is so. In the
case of the others. except Mr.. Watson
however, they have not been working
their throats very hard. Mr.. Watscn's
larynx probably suffered from the fer
vent heat of his oratory. But Teller Bal
ley, Bland and Blackburn have not done
a great deal of speaking.

The Gloom of Anxiety.
From the Baltimore Herald (Dem.).

Political managers and campaign calcu-
lators were never quite so much at sea in
their prediction forecasts. They APP
pear to have little reliable information
upon which to. base prediction, and the
headquarters of the national as well the
state committees are invested with
gloom of anxiety that cannot be concealed.

man if he wanted to know anything about
ecclesiastical matters or canon law, he
would be pleased to talk with him.

Before Mr.. Bryan began his wonderful
campaign tour. Gen. Harrison held the
record for swinging around the circle 1t

from Switzerland to take a hand in the

some time ago that he would not take an
active part in politics this year. But he

It has awakened within him desire that
he cannot resist to come over and enjoy

and a loss of sl,5O0OOO as COM
pared with the receipts of the quarter end

The Popular Loan.

The fact that the papers and individuals
that elamored for a popular loan. and
abused the President and Secretary Of the
Treasury for not making the loan popu-
lar one before it was known whether OF not
the 100000 In bonds would be offered
10 the public, are now asserting that the
President and Secretary Of the Treasury
are doing what they can to prevent the
people from subscribing for the bonds
causes no surprise. They have not de-
sired the truth az any time. They have
sought assiduously for excuses 10 indulge
in abuse and Misrepresentation. II is fair
10 assume that their true characters are
understood by the public. and that their
influence counts for very little among
those who read and think for themselves.
Il is not known yet. Of course. whether
or not the people will take all or any con-
siderable part of the bonds. It will be
regretabIe IL they fail to subscribe for a
very large share OF them. But
n they should not subscribe literally for
them it would not follow that the loan
would be failure. The bonds viii be
taken, even though the people should fail
to subscribe for a single bond. 1t is I'M
derstood that there are banks and hnan-
cial Institutions that will take them al
better price than the bonds that were last
sold brought, IL the chance to do so is
given them.
There may be good reasons why the
people DO not subscribe for the bonds.
They may not have the gold. The banks
and financial institutions that have gold
are not subscribing now because they be-
lieve that later on they will be able to
get what they want of them for a little
lower price than they would have to pay
If they subscribed for them now.
This Is about the situation from what
appears in the public prints. 1t presents
nothing that justifes any one in charging
or insinuating that the President or the
Secretary of the Treasury would like to
see the bonds go to a syndicate rather
than to the people. Indeed, there isn't
ground for a doubt that the President was
sincere when he wrote Senator Caffery
before the issue of bonds was announced,
that the desire of all the members of the
administration was that the people should
take the bonds.
