The bolting Democrats in conven-
tion In Indianapolis adopted the
name OF National Democratic party,
and although they had no moral
right to organize under the name OF
Democratic, they did SO, and several
states have permitted their ticket
70 20 60 on file. No doubt most DEM
ocrats understand that there Is
only ono Democratic party and that
william Jennings Bryan is the can
didate for president, but for all that.
tho Herald desires to call the atten.
tion OF the rank and file of the party
to tho fact that the proper and loyal
uame OF their organization is "thc
Democratic party" and that when-
ever they see the name National
Democratic party" they may be
sure that it Is being used to con-
fuse and mislead them.

ber that times are never hard" with
the money lender. In fact, his profits
are larger when times are hard for la
Dor, because his money is secure in any
event and his cost of living is very much
less because of the depreciation in the
price Of articles Of consumption. If the
volume of redemption money were equal
to the demand of commodity production.
money should voluntarily seek employ
ment in the channels Of business. be-
cause the occupation of "Shylocking"
would be gone and there would be no
profit in boarding money to squeeze Ia
Dor and industry. That is to say, there
would be a constant scramble among
money owners to find opportunity in the
avenue of money employment to use
their holdings with profit.
Referring to the coinage of silver coin
since 1873 Mr.. Reed said the government
has spent $460,000, 900 for silver bullion,
and in the face of such demand the
volume of the metal as a commodity has
steadily deprecated. Subterfuge may
do in Maine but not in Southern Califor-
mia. Mr.. Reed knows very well that all
silver, coinage since 1873 has been on ac-
count Of the government and that its
purchases were never equal to the Of
ferings. consequently the supply was
greater than the demand and prices nec-
essarily fell. Mr.. Reed knows, too, that
all legislation concerning the coinage
of silver since 1873 has been with the d.
rect aim to discredit silver as Q money
metal and make all silver dollars coined
mere token money. whose purchase pow
er ct their face value was contingent

Capital Removal.

The important question of capital
removal is beginning to interest the
voters of Missouri, and it is safe to
say that the vote on it will be large
all over the state.
Both Sedalia and Jefferson City
have good speakers out telling the
people about it, and leaving litera-
ture for the voters to read.
In this vicinity at least s. per cent
are in favor of Sedalia, and the whole

tages and will do all they can in NOV

I California has long had reputa-

the vast sums they left behind them.

tifty-three wills. disposing OF S175, ,OO0,-

sum. and to-day nearly half of that
number are penniless again. and only
IA few have succeeded IN adding to
their inheritance.
The average number OF persons pro-
vided for in each will was ten, though
in a number of instances, the most
notable of which was the case of
Florence Blythe, the entire estates
passed into the hands of single heirs.
The comparatively small estate of
Kate johnson. which was appraised
at 81 30 1000 reached more heirs than
any other, the number on the list be-

The Oid-Joke Killer.

One of New York's comic weaklies
has for many years had an old man
on its staff whose duty it is to see that
20 old Jokes are accepted. He has a
remarkable memory. and nearly every
week he kills something which has
passed muster with the younger edi-
tors. He knows the files of his paper
thoroughly. and notinfrequently when
a stolen sketch or an old joke is sub
mitted he can name the month and
year in which twas firstprinted. Long
wears of mirth-killing have left their
mark in the deep burrows that line his
face. It has made him suspicious of
every one and particularly Of writers
OF Jokes and comic artists. This man
has passed his whole life here in New
York. employed at the amending task
of exposing takers. He said to friend
not long ago that old Jokes haunted
his sleep and made life Il burden. but
it Is his boast that none of them has
ever worked its way into his paper.
