The populists of the state of Mississippi
in convention assembled. the other day
passed a resolution TO the effect that the
state capitol is good enough for anybody
to stay in. Several experts in architecture
have examined the building and found
that it is liable to tumble down at any mo-
ment. 1t does not matter to the populists
that there is set against their opinion the
scientific knowledge, based on ascertained
facts.,of men educated in the speciality of
calculating the Strength of buildings. And
just so it is with the populists when it
comes to a consideration of the money
question. They are sure that they know
more about money in a minute than the
most expert and experienced financier
knows in a month.

There is nothing surprising in the fact
that Senator Pritchard of North Carolina
forgot all about the confirmation of some
appointments that were referred to the
committee of which he is chairman.
Pritchard has been so busy looking after
the spoils of office, and the making of po-
litical deals with the populists. that he has
had little or no time to give to the trans
action of the business of the public.

In an interview a few days ago Sena-
tor Blackburn concluded his remarks
thus: IF 1 win this fight, and 1 am con-
fdent I shall, 1 do not want any whin-
ing afterward, and l will not accept any
apology from any living man. 1t is a
fight to humiliation. The black flag is
up" He has just been talking about Sec
rotary Carlisle. and his remarks were in
tended to apply to the secretary. All of
which is very interesting. considering the
fact that only day or two previously
some friends of Senator Blackburn had
been begging Secretary Carlisle to save
their man from defeat. If it is to be
war to humiliation" it is pretty sure
Secretary Carlisle will not be the man an

Some time ago It was suggested to the
treasury department that the gold re-
cenved over the counter in the postofices
might go a cons derable way towards
keeping up the gold reserve. An inquiry as
TO the amount of gold received at post
offices was made, with the result that il
appears that something like $4,000 per
month. or about S7.1l4,O0O per year. is re-
ceived. California postofhces lead In
monthly gold receipts. with about $1,000.
Missouri comes next. with $27,OOO and then
Ohio with $4,000. The receipts of gold
in Georgia postofices average about $500.
Postmasters say it would work an Unjust
ice to them if the government were to
order their gold sent to the treasury and
receive it only by weight. as the postmast-
ers receive It at its face value.

The free silverites in the Texas state
democratic executive committee are
"snappers" on the state convention ques-
ton. They control the committee. and are
in a position to run things with high
hand But they do not dare to ride rough
shod over democratic precedent. as is pro-
posed shall be done in Georgia. The Tex
ans will hold two state conventions, but
the committee has decreed that the dele
gates to the two conventions shall be
elected at one and the same primary cleo
ton They have let down the bars for
the silverites to control the primary by
permitting any voter to take part in it
who will pledge himself to support the
nominees of the convention. That opens
the way for populists and republicans to
help overcome the sound money democ-
racy

Poor Material for an Issue.

Those Kansas republicans, who want to
make ex-Consul Waller, who has just been
released from a French prison at Mar
settles, a delegate to the national repub-
Ican convention, are either poorly inform
ed or are lacking i'm common sense. When
Walters case was first brought to the at
tention of the state department the re-
pubicans thought they saw an opportun-
ity to make political capital against the
administration. They began to assert
that Waller was the victim of French
greed and injustice and that the state de-
partment had shown a lack of zeal in his
behalf because he was black. They as
serted that American citizens who were
the victims of the injustice of foreign gov
ernments were not given proper protec-
tion by the government. That sort Of talk
had a good deal of effect before the truth
of the Waller case began to crop out.
AS a matter of fact Waller was re-
leased, not as a matter of right, but as
an act of good will toward the United
States. He was properly and rightfully
convicted. He was guilty of the charges
brought against him, and if justice had
been done he would have remained in
prison OF all of this the state depart
ment became convinced after it had
all of the testimony submitted to it.
Kansas is the state in which Waller
claims a residence. Doubtless the Kansas
republicans who want to make a martyr
of Waller will be advised by their
representatives in congress that the
wisest thing for them to do is
to drop Waller, because if the
whole truth about him should be
made public decent republicans might con-
clude that he is not the sort of a man
they would like to be associated with in
a political convention, or anywhere else.
