ONE thing is certain, the peoples Of
Europe cannot forever keep up their
fleets and armies. They groan under
the increasing burden. There are at
present in Germany, France, Russia,
Austria and Italy about three and one
half millions of bread-winners with
drawn from all labor and compelled to
eat the bread Of these who do labor.
The European peasant, it has been
strikingly said, goes to his days work
with soldier on his back. This thing
cannot last forever. Either there will
be war in which all Europe will
spring to arms, or there will come q
mighty uprising of the oppressed. The
rulers Of the peoples prefer to set them
to cutting each others throat, rather
to have them begin cutting royal
Threats. SO we may look forward with
reasonable certainty to war. And i
it must come, it were well that it came
quickly

a subcommittee was appointed to

Senator Lodge early in the session.
The one dissenting voice in the com

Don't overlook the significance of
polls. 1t may not result in another
Democratic ticket this fall, but the
fact that so many men, representing
the elements which Democrats them
selves have been wont to regard as the
better ones that went to make up their
party, have taken a step so pronounced
and which alicnates them from the or
ganiZation remodeled at Chicago. must
inevitably have an important bearing
ON the election this fall. But the large
representation at indianapolis does not
begin to represent the extent of dis
affection in the party. They simply
represent those, who cannot quite make
up their minds to vote the Republican
ticket because OF. the prominence they
have had in tic councils of the
Democratic party in the past.
but who realize the disaster contained
in that Chicago platform. We doubt
whether the proposed boiling party
would lessen the number who are de
termined to waste no powder this fall
and who will vote for Mckinley. 1t
would, however, call out many that
otherwise would not go to the polls.
and would enlist some toits support Tho
are too weak-knecded to step clear out
of the ranks where they have been ac-
cUstomed to march. But ANYWAY in
which 1t may be viewed the Indiana
polls conclavc ought to assure the
country that the danger in that Popo-
cratic propaganda is appalling and can
not be too overw helmingly denounced
| by the votes of the people.

profit to the owner of the bullion. en-
abling him to take 81 cents worth of

for full dollar. This is an undue and
unfair advantage which the govern
lnent has no right to give to the own
crs of silver bullion, and which de-
frauds the man who is forced to take
the dollar. And it assuredly follows
that if we give free coinage to this dol
lar of inferior value and put it in cir
Culation we do SO at the expense of our
better coinage in gold; and unless we
expect the uniform and invarable ex-
perience of other nations to be in some
