RUSSIAN SUPERSTITION.

While it may be and doubtless is true
that Russia is destined to be the greatest
and most influential nation in the world,
next to the United States, the fact is very
apparent that from royalty to peasant
the people are yet dwelling in the shadow
of the superstition of the middle ages.
Every forced departure from the pre-
viously arranged programme of coronation
cere monies and festivities is held to be a
warning of dreadful things to come. The
more intelligent class felt that the festivi-
ties at Moscow the other week ought to
be suspended for a day or two after the
dreadful accident which cost fully 1000
people their lives, but they were afraid to
let a hitch be seen in the gayeties, lest the
populace should conclude that something
even more frightful than the trampling OF
thousands of human beings to death would
swoop down upon the nation, and so the
dancing and merrymaking went on.
1t is reported that the young Emperor
is in a state of physical and mental col
capse as consequence of the great dis
aster coming upon the heels of his corona
ton, which itself left him physically ex-
hausted. He, too, is superstitious, and
looks into rather than beyond the shadows
of events. The mans weakness as well as
his ignorance was made conspicuous when
he ordered that all of $20,000,0 900 should be
expended in the preparations for his coro-
nation, and vet, on the other hand, a
present at his own expense of bag of
provisions to each of the 100000 of his

EXCURSION TO GLEN ELLEN

Five Hundred People Visit tho Warm
Belt OF Sonoma County.
Over five hundred people went on Locke's
excursion over the San Francisco and
North Pacific road to Glen Ellen and
vicinity yesterday and had most enjoy
able time. The train left early in the
morning, and when Sonoma was reached,
stopped for an hour, giving all an oppor-
tunity to visit the quaint old town. The
next stop was at Aqua Caliente, where
the train lay up for nearly two hours.
The excursionists roamed over the hills,
and took headers IN the pool of clear
warm water.
At about 1 o'clock the train reached
Glen Ellen and remained until 5o'clock.
Ample time was thus afforded all to roam
over the hills and fish in the cool mountain
stream. The day was perfect. and nothing
happened to mar the pleasure of the ex-
cursionists from the time they left in the
morning until they returned to the City at
7:30 in the evening.

THE DEMOCRATIC LIE FACTORY.

1t was unnecessary for Perry Heath to
deny that he had given 1t out that eX-
Senator Plat of New York was engaged in
a conspiracy to have anti Mckinley dele
gates recognized and that 81, COO, 900 had
been deposited in ST. Louis banks to carry
out the financial end of the scheme. The
story is too preposterous for any sensible
person to think of seriously. Mr.. Heath is
an Ohio man, editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, and personal friend
OF Mr.. Mckinley. He is In st. Louis as
one Of the advance agents to look after the
interests of Ohio's favorite son.
All stories of that kind can be run right
back to the Democratic party's syndicate
of liars. For some weeks the syndicate
has been very busy manufacturing all kinds
of stories to create trouble in the st. Louis
convention, but this story of $1,000000
having been raised by Mr.. Plat for cor
ruptiDg fund is altogether the "thinnest"
that has as yet been circulated. Mr.. Plat
and some other leading Republicans rep
resent "favorite sons" and no doubt they
are doing their level best TO impress upon
delegates-elect that Senator Allison, Gov
ernor Morton, Senator Quay, Speaker
Reed or Senator Cullo1n would make a
stronger candidate than Mr.. Mckinley,
which they have perfect right to do. but
to say they have raised million or more
dollars to buy up Mckinley delegates, or
to "pack" the convention with delegates
whose title is not quite clear, is to repeat a
monstrous lie and play into the hands of
the Democratic party.
The Democracy is all torn up, and every
man is armed with razor or gum never
theless the leaders believe that ii they can
foment discussions in the Republican
party and thus divert the attention of
their own rank and file from the war that
is raging between the Cleveland and anti
Cleveland wings there may be chance for
reconciliation at Chicago. Republicans
will not be caught, however, especially by
such bald-headed falsehood as the cor
ruption fund story, which is, by the way,
the latest output of the syndicate's lie

ORGANIZE CLUBS.
throne,

Every Republican knows the Importance
to the party of local league clubs. For the
most part political clubs are composed OF
young men, as they should be, for
the enthusiasm OF the younger members
of the party, especially of the first
voters, does not subside when facing
extra marching and extra work, and it is
through their energy and determination
that the older members are often kept
active in Strengthening the party's lines OF
battle. 1t has been observed for good
many years that when the young men
of the party organize themselves into
clubs much larger percentage of the vote
is cast. Somehow they take hold with a
quality of earnestness that inspires every
one to take deep interest in the success OF
the party; besides, the burden of leader
ship will soon fall upon them, and the
training they receive in the club organiza-
ton fits them to plan and execute with far
more accuracy than otherwise would be
the case.
President Kinney of the State League OF
Republican Clubs has issued ringing adj
dress to the members OF the party, in which
he clearly points out the advantages that
will accrue to the party if all who possibly
can will connect themselves with club.
The party will soon be in the heat OF one
of the most important campaigns in the
history of Republicanism. Failure to carry
the State and the country would be little
less than calamity to the business enter
prise of every one. tits true the Democrats
are at war one with the other, but they are
queer folks. They are likely to bury the
Ratchet and make united and desperate
effort to elect their candidates, and to be
prepared for such a contingency our young
men should make haste to organize them
selves into clubs so as to be ready as well
as determined to win a telling victory for
the Republican party. Let the victory be
in the nature of the humiliation of Cleve-
landism on the one hand and Altgeldism
on the other. Let no young Republican
wait to be invited to join club. Let him
seek out one, and if there be none in his
neighborhood let him organize one. But,
anyway, let every young member of the
party get himself in readiness to enter
the campaign the day after the st. Louis
Convention shall have announced the
names of the candidates, with rousing
ratification parade.

John NJ. Thurston Of Nebraska is another OF
the new Senators sent as delegate to the Ma
tional Convention. Eight years ago Mr.. Thurs
ton was delegate to the Chicago convention.
He was temporary chairman also. He attended
dinner which Chauncey NJ. Depew gave to
certain Western delegates. Mr.. Depew was
playing a brief engagement as the candidate
of New York for the Presidency. At the close
OF the dinner Mr.. Depew asked Mr.. Thurston:
"How many votes will get in NebraskaP'
mot one" replied Mr.. Thurston candidly.
Chow many delegates are there from Ne
braska?" asked Mr.. Depew.
Twelve" replied Mr.. Thurston.
Glow many railroad lawyers are there on
the Nebraska delegation" asked Mr.. Depew.
Twelve" said Mr.. Thurston.
"Then what do you mean by saying can't
get any votes from NebraskaP asked Mr..
Depew
al mean" said Mr.. Thurston, "we'll be so
busy explaining our own records to the people
this fall that we won't have any time to ex-
plain yours"
Mr.. Depew pursued the inquiry no further.

THE PARTY FIRST.

When e1-Congressman Forman was
asked the other day if William r. Morrl-
son would accept the Chicago nomination
on silver platform, he said: s.Well,
I hardly think any man would be apt TO
set up his opinion against that of ma
iority of his party" Colonel Morrison is
gold standard man and Mr.. Forman is
his confidential friend and neighbor.
It is said Mr.. Forman's opinion was
asked to ascertain if it was worth while to
following. Mr. Forman, no doubt, was au-
thorized to say what he said, which means
that Colonel Morrison would accept the
nomination on any kind of platform the
convention might adopt, for Mr.. Forman
further said that he was opposed to the
idea of holding convention independent
of the one to be held in few days, in
which the Altgeld influence will dominate
No doubt this is plan to harmonic the
several factions on the basis of free-silver
platform and a single-standard candidate
How such a combination would work re-
mains to be seen, but Morrison would
come as near if not nearer satisfying all
sides than almost any other one of the lead
ing lights of the party, for he is firm be-
lever in the doctrine that candidate has
no right to have policy other than the
one laid down and defined by the party in
convention.
But it is the lesson Mr.. Forman's answer
teaches that makes it important. There
has been growing disposition in both of
the great parties in recent years to ignore
the will and wish of the rank and file, and
adjust the party's declarations of princi
Piles to the personal views of the individual
who happens to control the maj ority of the
delegates. The principles of party should
be the outcome of the best thought and
Judgment of the party as whole, but the
application of them must necessarily be
left to those whom the party selects to
represent it in the affairs of the public.
The principles of party do, in its judg-
ment, come nearer providing for all the
public requirements of the people than any
others. No party intends that whatever
good comes of its administration shall be
shared in by its own following only. 1t is
for the betterment of the condition of all
the people that parties exist and the
judgment of no man is as valuable as the
combined judgment of all the party's
members.
The right of candidate to urge the
adoption of his opinion on given ques-
ton is not questioned, but when he makes
its acceptance the condition of his ac-
cepting the nomination, he sets up his
Judgment as beng superior to the iudg-
ment of the combined wisdom of ali the
other members of the party. That indi-
Vidual who thinks he is greater than his
party has reached the point where his
true worth should be made known to him.
Mr.. Forman is right. No man has the
right to set up his own opinion against the
majority of his party.

A WARNING FROM WALL STREET

The June financial circular of one of the
leading Wall-street banking institutions
says: 'There is plenty of money in the
East, but it is not at the service of promo
ton" (meaning business enterprises) las
long as there is fear that dollar in gold
lent will be repaid by dollar in silver,
worth 81 cents in the article borrowed"
Again it says: "There will be no revival
from business stagnation until this ques-
ton is settled" meaning the final and I'M
alterable adoption of the gold standard.
Once more: IAN unequivocal gold stand
ard is the necessity to-day as it never was
before. The lines are to be drawn this year
sharper than ever before"
The circular letter from which the above
quotations are taken is, presumably, not
for general circulation. The presumption
is that it is sent to money borrowers,
money-lenders and stock spectators. 1t
is sent to money-borrowers to call their
attention to the fact that they will get no
bank accommodations TO carry on their
business until the gold standard is adopted
for good and all, hoping thereby to stimu-
late them to work, talk and vote against
the reconciliation of silver; to money
lenders to inform them to not expect to
have paper rediscounted until the "silver
craze" is thing of the everlasting past,
and to stock spectators to remind them
thet ideals" on the New York stock ex-
change will be in gold at par and in silver
at 50 cents of the face value of the coin.
This circular letter further says that adj
vocates of free silver coinage at 16 to 1 are
aggressive and vociferous" and that they
will flight hard" in the st. Louis and Chi
cago conventions to fasten their "delusion"
upon the two great parties. It gives free
silverites the credit of being of "ayerage
no nesty" in Ordinary business trans
actions" but on the money question ''the
lines must be drawn about them tight and
secure" Eastern business men, that is
Eastern bankers and money lenders, are
'impressing" gold-standard principles
on their correspondence (creditors)
throughout the country"
The audacity of this Wall-street banking
concern, and it is representative money
lending institution of that center, is
sublime in its frankness. A deliberate
conspiracy is formed to bankrupt the
West and South unless they acquiesce in
Wall streets purpose to reduce the volume
of the peoples circulating money to a
point where they can lock it up or let it
out according to its own sweet will.
Verify the seed of Benedict Arnold has in
creased and multiplied to alarming num-
bers, but it must not be forgotten that the
people have not yet started on the war
path. The circular letter of this Wall
street concern says the people are "aggress-
i've and vociferous," and it will have no
reason to doubt it later on.

And though 1t was the best one out,

For trumping"

With all lovers gentle art,
And once again led my heart,

When round to her the trick had passed

100000 appropriation, had the Governor allowed
the Dill IN full? We answer; The very ones who
were advocating and anxious for this appro pria-
ton would have had to pay least g5 per cent of
the amount. Had this agricultural appropriation
bill not met with the Governors veto Del \ orte
taxpayers would have had to contribute their pro-
portion OF the amount and it would have cost
them, Indirectly, more than $500 direct appropria-

By the closest possible calculation this little APP
