class is wholly fanciful, and as a work
ing basis for practical political action
it is altogether impossible. The re-
cent national election showed conclu-
sively that Iowa, Minnesota, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin, no less than Hi
nois, Indiana and Ohio, are all East
ern states for voting purposes when
ever an artificial issue is attempted to
be drawn on the lines laid down by
the Bryan platform. And this, as Mr..
NOrdhoff observes, is the result of per-
fectly natural causes, because the re
lationship and practical identity OF
interests between those states and
the states of the extreme East lis as
close as that Of father and son, as close
as that which obtains between part
ners in successful business, or as that
of an Old-fashioned family, where
parents and children and grandchild-
rem nourished and were prOspered by
a common interest a common policy
as well as by the community Of
blood"
1t will be as impracticable in 1900 as
it was in 1896 to organize a winning
national campaign by trying TO mass
the people of the West and South
against the people Of the East They
cannot be SO massed for the simple
reason that their vital interests in
stead of being antagOniStic are mu-
tual. As for the future of the Demo
cratic party, it is involved for the pre-
sent in a great deal of uncertainty.
that the party is destined to survive
the great error committed at Chicago
last summer, as it has survived even
greater errors in the past, we have no
doubt. The principles of Democracy
as laid down by Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe and Jackson, and illustrated
by all the antebellum Democratic ad-
ministratiOns from Jefferson to Buch
anan and not less ably and steadfastly
in his two executive terms by Presi-
dent Cleveland, are bound to survive
all the follies that may be committed
i'll the Democratic name, because they
are the historic and necessary cOnsti-
tutional principles on which our re
public was founded, and which can
not perish while the republic itself en-
dures.
But we are convinced that until
the democratic party plants itself
once more upon those vital historic
principles, and abandOns the idols OF
free silverism. socialism and miscel-
laueous politial incendiarism set up
for it to worship at Chicago July last
it cannot expect, and will not be al
lowed, to regain control of the gen
eral government. The men who for
ged populisln upon the Chicago con-
vention may be able to maintain them
selves as dictators in control of the
party organization for four years to
come but they were unable to force
their populistic vagaries upon the
acceptance of fully million of staunch
and true democratic voters in 1896
and they will be more pOwerless to do
so four years hence.
AS in the national field, so in the
state of Maryland. SO long as the
old program is offered to the people
in the name of democracy there can
and will be no reunion of democratic
voters and the republicans will re-
main in power. The democratic
party is likely to stay out of office a
long time, both in the nation and in
this State, if the policies which have
just led it into the shambles and
slaughtered it are kept to the front.

THE DEBATE ON BAYARD.

Stale as the proposition to censure
Ambassador Bayard is. still the de-
bate on that question in the house is
somewhat of a relief from the recent
debates on the Venezuelan and Cuban
questions. This is because there is a
change in subjects.
Representative Taft, of Ohio, spread
himself on the matter yesterday
There was a virtuous Indignation in
his utterance that must have carried
conviction to every heart that was
open to conviction. He stripped the
question of much of the fustion that
has surrounded it. Heretofore Re
publicans who have denounced that
Edinburgh speech have said it was
an assault upon the American people.
Mr.. Taft doesn't say this. He comes
out fairly and squarely and says the
ambassador abused his privilege, "a
privilege secured solely by his official
position" "by attacking a great po-
litical party in his own country" He
did attack some very pernicious prac-
tees INDUCED in by great political
party in this country. Il say political
party continues Mr.. Taft, because
protection is the foundation principle
of the Republican party 1t is true
that protection is the foundation prin-
ciple of the Republican party. Now
what did Mr. Bayard say of this foun-
dation principle of the Republican
party?
'In my own country 1 have wit
messed the Unsuitable growth of that
form of state socialism styled protec-
ton" He stated truth, and a fact
that the American people have wit
messed. Is protection anything other
than the using of the taxing power of
the state to enable those engaged in
certain Industries to demand at home
a higher price for their products,
natural or manufactured, than they
would otherwise be enabled to? When
the states taxing power is used in aid
of private enterprise, is it not to that
extent a growth of state socialism? To
have stated this fact to an Edinburgh
audience is the very head and front
of Ambassador Bayard's offense.
The present debate in the house on
Bayard is simply for the manufacture

And now comes NJ. Meline, member
of the French chamber of deputies,
with a motion before that legislative
body asking the French government
to open negotiations for bringing
about an International monetary agree
ment. 1t is assuring to witness the
constantly increasing agitation of the
money question, for in the end it is
bound to result in action. Not that
we hope for any immediate results
from this agitation in the way of Sc
curing international agreement on
bimeEallism It's chief assurance
for good rests in the fact that
behind the agitation there's a deal of
thinking going on among the people,
and that in the end means substantial
and permanent advancement in the
cause of bimetallism. AS to interna-
tional agreement it would be all we'll
enough if it could be secured, but
there is no question but what the de-
preciating remarks of Sir Michael
Hicks-Beach the other day in parlia-
ment as to the Importance and per-
manence of such an arrangement are
just. He is reported TO have said in
effect that while international agree
ment, if entered into by a. sufficient
number OF nations, might influence the
fluctuations as to the relative value
of gold and silver, still the agreement
would be likely to be broken in the
event of political commissions or war.
Considered from that standpoint it
will be seen that International agree
ment on the subject of free coinage of
silver is not of such Importance as
generally supposed. The fact of the
matter is that the question of money
is something that each nation must
settle for itself alone in its capacity
as a sovereign power. Leaving all
other nations to act as their several
interests shall dictate.

TALES OF THE DAY.
ounx,s auiet Little Joke.

Senator Quay likes quiet joke as well
as any man. A few days ago tramp
from the west wandered into the state OF
Pennsylvania. and, joining company
of fellow hoboes at some snug roost III
close proximity to warm coke ovens, pro
ceeded to unbosom himself as follows:
Say, pards. I'm Just from the great
state of Iowa an I'm fer old S i,, , NIL
youse uns make any mistake. He's
reglar old bird an this is his his time M to
see?" The Pennsylvania hoboes resented
this. and they pulled the man from Iowa
out of his coy nest and marched nm
down to the Youghiogheny river ana
ducked him. Some one sent Senator quay
a newspaper cutting containing an &C
count of this proceeding, and the sena,
tor found it in his mail today. He placed
it in envelope and lag MhrR Han nls

AN ALIEN SINGER.

I'm 1889, the German citizens of Port
land, Ore, noting the dearth of song
birds in the mist-hung valleys, imported
and liberated near that city over 800 Ger
man song-birds, linnets, nightingales,
song-sparrows and thrushes. The song
thrush, at least, of these has made con-
quest of a permanent place in his new
home.)
Deep in our woods modest alien sings,
A blithe newcomer from foreign
strand,
An emigrant from the far father-land.
No pauper he: but one OF Natures kings,
And lavishly his wealth away he filings.
His soulful song child can under
stand.
Art cannot make a melody so grand,
With all her sounding brass and vibrant
strings.
The singer loves our fir-embowered wales,
His heart is in his song; his nest is
At early dawn and when the daylight
we hear his trilling, tender, brave and
With orient glee the occident he halls,
Sweet German song-thrush, thou art
welcome here.

And now Wisconsin Republicans in
struct their delegates ITO the ST Louis
convention to use all reasonable effort
to secure the nomination of William
Mckinley for the presidency, in whom
they recognize the most distinguished
champion of the Republican policy of
protection and reciprocity. and honor
as type of the best Amer lean citi-
zenship in both public and private life.
They seem to have no difficulty in
understanding Major Mckinley
money plank in the Ohio Platform, for
they say: The Republicans Of Wiscon-
sin are unyielding in their demand for
honest money We are unalterably OPP
posed to any scheme that will give
TO this country deprecated or de-
based currency. We favor the use Of
silver as currency but to the extent
only and under such restrictions that
its parity with gold may be maintain
ed" Gradually as the Republicans of
one state after another announce their
views on the money question it be-
comes easy to forecast about what the
national Republican convention at st.
Louis will say on the question of free
coinage of silver.

A special dispatch to The Herald
yesterday from Washington brings the
glad word that the subcommittee of
the house committee on public build
ings has decided to grant one public
building to Utah. to be erected in Salt
Lake City. That is good news Utah
has long been in need of such build
ing, and never worse in need of it than
now. We congratulate the represen-
tatives of the state at the national cap
ital in the attainment of this result to
their earnest effort, and trust there is
nothing that wiz arise to prevent the
fulfIlmenb of our anticipations in re-
gard to the building.

Historic Drum That Was Recently
Beaten in LoganspOrt, Ind.

The old Glen drum was played in the
military band at Logansport Saturday IN
the parade and for the exercises of the
cornerstone laying. The drum is owned
by Major McFadin and is said TO be
the oldest one in the state, it being more
than seventy-five years old. 1t has been
in active service in many important
events of history, but is still in good con.
dition. 1t is one of the deep drums OF
the style that was used at Concord ana
Bunker Hill where the boys were light
ing for their countrys liberty,
This drum was played at the laying OF
the corner stone of the old lodge build
ing that stood on the site where the
present one is being built. The building
was erected by the old Upton lodge, NO.
SO. 1t was played at the funeral OF Cen
eral John Upton, who gave the lot to
the lodge. The funeral was held Sunday
April 8. 1888. 1t was to have been played
Jline 90 1888, at the hanging of Scott
for the murder of Harrison, but he hung
himself in the old lodge jail the night be
fore. When the corner stone OF the oio
courthouse was laid, it was played IN the
exercises and it helped TO celebrate the
onening of the old canal. When the Mex
can war broke out it was brought INTO
service again and helped to gather up
volunteers and went with them TO var

A Washington dispatch to the Den
Yer Times says a conference between
the Republican silver senators who
voted against taking up the tariff bill
and Republican manufacturers was to
take place in that city yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t is stated that this confer
ence in part grows out of the stand
taken by the five senators on the tariff
bill and their refusal to allow that
bill to be considered without any pro-
vision for silver and parity out of the
awakening of the manufacturers to the
fact that the manufacturing interests
of this country are in great danger
from competition from silver using
countries like Japan, China and Mex
leo. Many have come to realize that
ia riff alone will not afford them all the
relief that they must have. 1t is real
ized that nothing can be done for tariff
without the aid of the silver Republi-
cans of the senate. 1t is also Stated
that the silver senators will present an
ultimatum. This is said to be a dec
lara ton for the linking together of BIZ
metallism and protection, bimetallism
being declared to mean the free coin
age of gold and silver at a ratio of 16
to /. The conference is a distinct rec
ognltion that protection alone cannot
be made the issue of the campaign. T.
also means that. the financial question
cannot be ignored at st. Louis nor put
aside by a declaration upon it that
may be made to mean anything or
nothing as party exigencies may re-

HokE SMITH AND THE REsERvA-
TIONS.

We are very glad that Senator Can
non brought up the matter of the open
ing of the Uintah and Uncompahgre
Indian reservations in the senate. We
are delighted that Senator Vest gave
Secretary Hoke Smith such a fiaying
as he did. 1t was severe in the ex-
IRENE, but not more severe than Hoke
Smith merited.
The manner in which the secretary
of the interior has acted in the matter
of the opening of these reservations is
an outrage and scandal. He has as
sunled to set his individual opinion
above the law by totally ignoring it
and absolutely refusing to carry it out.
