A Sound Money Division.

The political situation in Kentucky is
gain becoming interesting. A clerk of the
Court of Appeals and a new Legislature
are to be elected in November and there is
the prospect of another stirring campaign.
The democracy is still sharply divided on
the money question. The silver wing Of
the party has held its convention, indorsed
the Chicago platform of last year and Mr..
Bryan, and nominated candidate for Ap-
peliate clerk. Mr.. Blackburn, who Is an
avowed candidate to succeed Judge Lind
say In the Senate, will stump the state for
that faction, and it is not unlikely that Mr..
Bryan may find the time to make a few
speeches. The silver men, indeed, will ex-
ert themselves to the utmost to get out
their full vote. and are already expressing
themselves confident of winning.
The opposition, which by uniting its
forces last year carried the state, seems
this year to be divided. The gold demo-
Gratis have called a convention for the 14th
of July, with the declared purpose of put
ting up candidate for the clerkship. and
the republicans have just issued a call for
the same purpose, and have named August
10 as their day. Nothing would appear
to be palmer. therefore, than, if there are
to be three candidates for the Appellate
clerkship placed in the field, the candidate
of the silver democrats will easily be elect
ed. The union of the gold democrats and
the republicans last year was successful
only by a few hundred majority, and all of
the influences Of national election were
then in operation. So that for the gold
democrats and the republicans to support
separate candidates this year will give the
state to the silver men by a good round
majority.
The state office at stake Is of very little
consequence. The platform is the thing,
and therein lies the difficulty. The gold
democrats will reiterate at their conyen-
lion the principles of the Indianapolis con-
vention, and the republicans at their con-
vention the principles of the st. Louis con-
vention. From the one platform a repub-
ican candidate will be barred, and from
the other a democrat The only way 10
bridge over the difficulty would be for both
conventions to confine themselves strictly
to opposition to free coinage at 16 to l. and
then agree later. upon a candidate-some-
thing not at all likely to be done.
If free silver carries in Kentucky, even
through this division of the sound money
strength, the victory will be cried far and
near by the Bryan men. And the effect
will be to hearten them elsewhere. Silver
is really the only national issue left, and
winnings and losings from now on will be
calculated from that meridian.

The United States Must Dominate.

Japan, since she defeated the hordes OF
China, has been rather saucy about HAWAII.
1t Is probable that the new republic would
be helpless and subject to being overrun
by the Japanese were 1t not for the protec-
stood but not existing in reality. The prac-
tical control our government exercises over
the islands by moral influence may not last
always. The time will probably soon come
when we must annex, declare a protecto-
rate or permit foreign domination over a
people who are trying to profit by the ex-
ample of the greatest republic of all time.
