beverages by the state exclusively, what
would those who support such a policy
call themselves? If the convention
were duly called and legally organized,
it's ticket would be placed on the bal
lot as the Prohibition" ticket, and all
who voted for it would have legal right
to call themselves 'Prohibitionists.
At the same time, the man who refused
to vote for such candidates, on the
ground that they no longer represented
the idea which from the beginning had
been the soul and spirit of the proh1-
bition movement. and declared himself
uncompromiSingly in favor of the total
suppression of the traffic, as far as
possible, by legal enactment forbid
ding the manufacture and sale of intox-
icants by any person or under any con-
ditions, would also have the right to
call himself a Prohibitionist. He would
represent a particular view of pub
lie polity. and the supporters of the
ticket would represent the legal sue
cessors to the party name.
This is all there is to the definition
which Mr. Bryan attempts to draw. 1t
is useless for him to attempt at this
day to confuse advocacy of 16 to l
coinage with opposition to the trusts
and other questions in no wise con-
nected with it, The point at issue is
Independent free coinage by this coun-
try. That means opposition to the
D1,iDp in1nc ~ sound laid
down by Jefferson, and as held by men
who were Democrats" in both the
narrower and the larger sense of the
term ever since Democracy came to
represent an idea. It means the con-
ferring of special benefits upon a small
favored class at the cost of all the rest
of the people. It embodies a paternal-
istic idea, which is inherently and ire
trievably hostile to Democratic individ-
ualsm. Therefore, while it may be
Democracy" in the sense that it was
approved by party convention which
no one can deny to have been entitled
to call itself the legal representative of
the old Democratic party, it is not
Democracy" in the sense that it is in
consistent with and contradictory Of
those enduring and Interchangeable prin-
ciples of government and of the rela-
ton of the individual to the state that
have always been called by that name
This confusion of terms has been the
foundation of a controversy as general
as it seems to us to be profitless. Mr.
Bryan and his friends insist that advo-
cacy of free silver coinage at a specific
and impracticable ratio shall DE the sole
and conclusive test of Democracy. While
they control the party machinery, they
can do this. They can no more make
it a definition of that great political
faith which is to us the hope and sal
walton Of good government and human
liberty than the declaration of a pOlit-
zeal convention could bring about mill
tary subjugation Of Turkey by the arms
of the United States and its annexation
to our dominiOns and call it "the Mon
roe doctrine"

Plotting to Secure the Recall of
Gen. WeyIer


HAVANA, via Tampa, Jan. S.-An i'll
trlgue is on foot here against Gen.
Weyler, as, a year ago there was an
intrigue against Gen. Campos. and that
fine old gentleman was compelled tn
retire from Cuba The leaders of tho
Union Constitutional party (the Span
ISL conservatives, whose policy has
always been that Of rule or ruin. al
that time finding that Gen. CANNES
was disposed to recognize others than
themselves, plotted against him in
Spain as we'll as Cuba, and the honest
sincere and chivalrous gentleman WAS
forced to retire.
Already the selfsame men who led the
movement against Campos are engaged
IN the same kind Of plotting against
Gen. Weyler. The Marquis de Apez
Iegula is the official leader of the
Conservative party. He is a Cuban
but he out-does the most pronounced
Span1ard in his conservatism. He is
the managing director of a great sugar
estate near Cienfuegos, that is owned
by a company controlled by the Welsh
brothers, of New York. De Apez Te-
guia and others of his illz have done
much to create the conditions which led
to the present rebellion. He is exc
Grated by the insurgent leaders. Co
mez tried to destroy the Constanzia
sugar estate, but de Apez Teguia placed
private armed guard of 600 men on
the property, which he now maintains
Weyler has forbidden the grinding of
cane and sugar making as a military
measure, and thus he has run nm
against the interests Of the marouis
The latter does not dare openly to an
tagonize the captain general A cell
in Cabanas would very likely be the
fate of any one who attempted to do
towards Weyler what was done with
impunity towards Marshal Campos
The plotting is conducted with caution
and great secresy. De ApeZ Teg1lia
recently announced in the press thar
he will sail for Spain Jan 10. This
movement is regarded as being in
tended to show Weyler that he pro-
posed to make his fight in Madrid
There are unmistakable indications
that Weyler's official term will soon
end. Private intelligence shows that
crisis may be precipitated any day
The death of Maceo tided over a crisis
that was then impending and which
may again arise. He is in quarrel
with the representatives Of powerful
Madrid newspapers, who were boldly
criticiZing some of his executive acts
II is not a question Of q rebellion. but
a side issue arising out Of the admin
istration of the army.

us in their demand upon the treasury:

Again, taking the period 1860 as
normal, when the cost of all miscellane-
Gus items was Ais cents per capita, we
find that the momentum of spending
acquired during the boom has suf-
fered no slackening of speed on account
of the panic, but has grown steadily
and sturdily until, in 1896, these eX-
penditures have attained the .respecta-
bic and stalwart altitude of $1,20 for
each man, woman and child in the
state. In these years, when every fam
lily has had to retrench its expenses
and carefully, painfully adjust outgo
to income, salaries have remained at
boom rates, boards and commissions
and bureaus have gone on increasing,
state institutions have multiplied and
their maintenance increased, and we
now see the halls thronged with those
eager to have the state support them,
clamorous for still further expansion
Of demands upon the taxpayers of >the
state.

SENATOR ALDRICH SILENT.
He Declined to Discuss the Latest
Cabinet RumOr.

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Senator
Aldrich refused to discuss a report in
circulation today to the effect that he
had been rendered the office of secre-
tary Of the treasury. When seen by a
reporter he said: Anything / would
say would be misconstrued and 1 think
my best plan to say nothing"
You can say" it was suggested to
him, whether there is any foundation
for the story; whether it is true or not"
mo, L cannot say that. I can say
nothing about it at ALL"
The senator was in close conference
during the day and remained later at
the capitol in conference with his
friends. He called on Mr.. Dingley dur
ing the day.

Matthew Last Message.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. S.-The last
message Of Gov Claude Matthews was sub
mitted to the legislature today. The mes
sage does not recommend the celebration of
the Indiana centennial which was considered
at the last session of the legislature. but
urges careful consideration of the report
submitted by the commission already in
existence, and, If it is deemed that the pres
ent depressed times will not interfere with
the undertaking, an elaborate celebration
should be held. The message asks for an
accounting by the Vandalia railroad as to
the matter of it's alleged debt to the state
under an old charter, and that the attorney
general be empowered to employ help needed
In any legal procedure looking to this end
