A CASE.
How Did nn Intelligent state Come ia
Elect such "a ienngOguof

As''NA ''thh
New York Evening Post: The most
expressive way OF describing John ~,
Rogers, who has just been elected gov
crnor OF Washington by tho Populists,
IN to say that he lived In Kansas Tor u
dozen years before going 10 the Pacihc
coast and waB universally rccoBnlzea
AZ one OF the greatest Crnnks ever Dicu
IN that state. In fnct, there v the tes-
tllnOny OF Il man who wa elected 10
Congress from Kansas by the Popullsts
In 1891 that tho result wab due largely
to his "blOOd and manly stand ana un-
ccasing work." The platform on when
Rogers ran Is found IN The lrrcpresb-
ible Conflict n book which cmoodles
his ideas OF finance. government, ana
soch,ty. Tho author declares that a
tho present time tho people or the UNI,
rcd States confront n Worldwide ana
world-long evil, OF fnr greater inngni-
tudo than chattel slavery was-the pri-
vntO monopoly OF money; h a the
bar, the bench, and pulpit have become,

exceptions, mere minions reSlsteflhg

extortion, being dependent upon lE-
n and prejudice for IT'S power
md that "thc average banker has ruin
cd more homes and blasted more lives,
n hundred to one, than the traffic In al
cohol." One would say that the writer
OF such stun must be either a fanatic
or a fool. But Rogers himself Gays that
he Is neither. Since his election no VIZ
tunlly admits that he wrote this sort OF
thing purely IN Il Pickwickian sensc--"l

words, that he 10 un INSCRIPTIONS dem

obtain office.
How did IL state which has a small
ration OF illttcrncy and is credited with
II high average OF intelligence. come
to elect such n d~emagogue as gov
crnor? One reason undoubtedly Is that
Washington IL suffering n terrible re-
action from the ovcrdUne boom" per-
iod OF q few years ago. and that many
voters were ready to.try anything FOR n
change. But the underlying cause was
the fact that the Republican party In
Washington, as In Kansas, for many
years taught the people that the free
coinage policy was right. TINT the Re-
publican state convention only two
years ago endorsed the principle, that a
Republican legislature passed a free
coinage memorial, and that Republican
senators and representatives In Con-
gresS from the state voted for free
coinage. This year the party managers
had TO accept the gold standard plat
form OF tho national convention, but
they could not undo In a few months
the work which they had wrought dur
ing many years. They had sOwn the
wind. and they could not escape reap

a very circums.antial story from Chi
cago tells OF large purchases by Mexico
OF wal material for very early delivery.
The understanding Is that Mexico looks
for Spain 10 open var on the United
States and to try 10 seize Mexico as a
base Of operations. II this be MexIco's
idea. wh!ch Is very doubtful. she gives
Spain credit for a desperate holiness
which she does not possess.
Spain try TO whip Cuba. Mexico and
the United States at the same time! She
has been nearly two years trying to
whip the least OF these. and she has desc
lated more homes In Spain than she has
in Cuba. In case OF war with the United
States Spain wnrld End 1t very convent

The the first Spnniard landed
in Mexico that country and II own
would become nlllcs against Spalu, and
before the end OF n week our boys In blue
would be blowing the spnnlnrds back

Spain may feel that she would like TO
rap us for our sympathy with Cuba. but
she will do n power OF thinking before
shc makes wal on us. and she will think
still longer before she marshals Mexlcn
on our side. Mexico Is a power Tint
Spain cannot pick up and spank a. her

and the result is NOT encouraging to

giving the votes OF 1899 and 1896 in
eighty-three OF the towns visited by
Mr.. Bryan and In which he made

cratic in 1892, leaving th~Irty-eeven Re-
publican. In the aggregate they gave
n Democratic plurality OF 132,i5S votes.

One mor calculation on this line and

thirteen towns that went Democratic
in both 1892 and 1896 gave an aggregate
plurality for Cleveland OF 25.069. and for
Bryan OF S.29l. or a loss OF 1851 votes,
Notwithstanding the susceptibility OF
Council Bluffs. In view OF these facts,
1t seems fair to call attention 70 the Oft
repeated assertion made during the cam
paiGn that Mr., Bryan was talking TO the
curious, rather than the cr%edulous, dur
Ing his tour. OF course. It may be said
chat the Republican gain In these eighty
thrc towns might have been greater had
II not been for Mr.. Bryan's arguments,
yet the fact remains that he went into
n territory normally Democratic, talked
to great crowds, and presto! the terri
tory became Republican ground. The
figures are more eloquent even than Mr..
Bryan.
