The New York World truly says thai
Mr. Eryan's hold upon the Democratic
party in the nation is stronger than
ever" 1t then begs Mr. Bryan to aban-
don free coinage of silver as a leading
issue, and put Dingley.sm. Mckinley
ism, host4lity to trusts, resentments of the
elevation of plutocratic agents to the
Supreme court bench, and similar mat
tiers to the front Mr.. Bryan and bis
supporters will bring these things to the
front-no doubt about that. They are
the born enemies of these evil agencies,
but if Mr.. Bryan should try to drop the
silver issue, the world could net say his
hold on the party was stronger than
ever" 1t is because of his anita gonism
to the gold-standard, as well as McKin-
leyism, trusts, and domination of cor
porations that the people love him. II
he weakened on any, his power would
be gone.

RfPuBl IC4NfAlURe MUST BE MET BY
AFFIRMATIVE BELIEF.

The line OF party danger is becoming
clearer The voters of all parties and OF
no marty at all. see that the conflict of
1900 is to be between the Republican
and Democratic parties. The New York
World. which was foremost as an anti
Bryan paper in 1900, thus speaks for
those Democrats who agreed with it:
"'iIbp Democrats who elected Nc
Kinley en- the issue OF national honor
and sound money have been afford
cd no reason for satisfaction with
Their choice Of evils. Thousands Of
them are saying that they will never
again vote for Republican. The
so-ealed National Democratic"
movement is ended. The World
never symrathized with nor support
ell it. The indianapolis platform
was constructed under plutocratic in
fuences. 1t eva led the Democratic
issue against trusts and monopolies
and the control Of politics and gov
eminent by the money L wer. TIE
revolt had little vitality. al it is
now dead Republican stupidity is
again solidifying the Democracy"
OF course the World and all others
who deserted last year want to change
the issue. They want to drop the
money question and may be relied upon
to preach ''harmony" by advocating a
campaign against Republican rule.
Naturally, hostility to and exposure of
Republican rule will occupy prominent
place in next years campaign. They
will deserve to be driven from power by
their bad conduct. But the people are
the mood now to ask: What will
you give us in place Of trust domination.
The gold standard and high taxes" The
winning party must present an affirma-
tive policy which will appeal to the peo-
Ile as one that will give remedies for the
he ills under which they suffer. The
s.me has passed when negative policies
will be accepted.

GROWING STRONGER ALL THE TIME.

Every Indication points to the growing
strength of the silver question. Writing
to the Chicago Times-Herald on the in
teresting senatorial situation in Tennes
see, James 8. Evans predicts that Gov
ernor Bob Taylor will succeed Bate two
years hence and says:
she is going to make the free
coinage of the white metal the issue
in the next campaign, just as it will
be done in all of the other southern
commonwealth next year. And let
no man be deceived about this mat
ter. The strength of these followers
of Bryan is not decreasing. 1t is
growing. / notice that in the prim-
airy elections for delegates to the con-
stitutional convention in Louisiana
this question has been an issue, and
in every instance the silver candi-
dates were chosen"
Those former Democrats who are get
ting ready to shift the issues next veal
and in 1900, would do well to ponder
these facts well.

THE RECIPROCITY FAKE.

Washington Dec. 22.-The reciprocity

France and not in Germany. The utmost
extent OF a reciprocity treaty between
the United States anu Germany, under

cent reduction Of duty on certain agreed
upon German products. Germany is
"hiefy concerned about sugar. but the
twenty per cent reduction in duty per-
mitted under the Dingley law. II is sail,

Moreover, some doubt has arisen rs to

STORY OF RUFUS DEATH.
The Plan is Now to Finish the Wal
With War.

Havana, Dec. 22.-Agripino Ortiz, the
| orderly of Colonel Nestor Aranguren,
has surrendered and been brought to
Havana.
In the presence of local newspaper
men and a number of correspondents of
American and other foreign newspa-
pers he said today that the late Lieu
tenant Colonel Joaqu n Ruiz was ex-
lected by Col. Aranguren, as letters
had been exchanged between them.
Ruiz, he says was very affectionately
received, and after breakfasting togeth-
er and conversing privately for an hour
they went with guides to Sierra Jarco
Ortiz does not know what occurred
afterward, but says he does not believe
that Col Aranguren betrayed the trust
reposed in him by Ruiz. He thinks
that, owing to a difference existing be-
tween Aranguren and the insurgent lead
er Rafael de Sardenas, the latter ma
licousIy ambushed them and killed Ruiz.
He supects, however, that Aranguren
was killed also, but has been unable to
confirm his suspicion.
LEE SAID TO BE IN DANGER.

that Aranguren was killed with Ruiz.
