The Disinteqration Of the Popocratic Party.

There can be no doubt but what the
Popocratic party that supported William
j. Bryan in the last presidential cam
paign is now rapidly disintegrating
Thousands of Democrats who followed
its standards are joining hands
again with their old party leaders who
stood firm for an honest currency Ex-
Secretary Carlisle, whose large person.
al following is contributing largely to
this movement, believes that the gold
Democrats should put up ticket in
every state where an election is held
this fall, and he is confident that the
result will show a very large increase
of strength besides maintaining the
organizations. which alone conserve
the ancient faith and traditions of the
Democracy and in which center all its
future hopes. The large and enthusi-
astic convention of the gold Democrats
in Kentucky. and the evidences of their
growing strength and increased activity
all over the country has been very
disquieting to the Bryanites, however
lightly they may affect to treat it.
But ii is not alone in the return of
Democrats to their old standards that
the dissolution of the Popocracyi is fore
shadowed. There is an even more no.
ticeable exodus from the Populist wing
of the conglomeration of anarchistic,
socialistic. Populistic and fatalistic ele-
ments. Milton Burke, chairman of the
Populistic national organization COM
mittee, has issued an address in which
he urges "every Populist everywhere to
avoid. repudiate and reject all fusion
or alliance with the Democratic or the
Republican parties," and to 'repel
every overture of those enemies to the
common people"
In Kansas, that natural home of po-
litical long hairs. the Popul:sts have
truthfully declared the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16
to to be a dead ISSUE" and are plan
ming to make the abolition of the Fed
eral courts their future rallying cry!
We do not think that any careful OBJ
server of events now believes that the
Popocratic party will ever again COM
mand anywhere near the political
strength it showed in the last presi-
Dental campaign. The process of dis
integration is not only plainly in evil
dence, but it is progressing very
rapidly.
We have not far to look for the
causes of this retrograde movement

which had grown, naturally enough,
out of a Democratic free trade regime,
contribute TO his political fortunes.
He sought by appeals to class hatred,
and private greed, to stir up the preju-
dices and passions of the masses in the
vain hope that it might win political
success for him. Four years of Demo-
cratic rule had rendered all the condi-
tions favorable for such a campaign,

Biddeford Journal: The number of
deaths that have occurred to people in
the surf has been noticeably large in
this section this year. There is a pop
ular belief that the dreaded undertow
is responsible for majority of these
catastrophes. No doubt it is RESPONSE
BILE for some of them. But it is reason
able to believe that more than one of
these deaths-especially in those cases
where no cry for help is heard-are due
to another cause. Many persons who
are full blooded'' enter the surf for
getful or careless of that habit of first
wetting the head, in which the boy is
so apt to be wiser than the man.
Plunging the heated lower body into
the cold water, the shock sends the
blood rushing to the head, and appo-
plexy or something very like it
results. inducing unconsciousness-or
at least helplessness-and death by
drowning. The undertow is a danger
Gus force on the strand. But it is prob
able that there would be fewer cases
of fatal undertOw if there We're more
cases of thoroughly wetting the head
before immersing the body.
