on the civil service question. are impedi-
mcnts in the way OF a permanent union
OF the Sound Money Democrats with the
Republicans. Many OF such Democrats
Will endeavor 10 preserve the organiza-
ton formed at Indianapolis. or rather re-
constituted there from dhe fragments
OF the historic Democratic party. and
they will go to the polls TO vote for
their principles. no matter how hopeless
the prospect OF success.
The Sound Money Democrats have no
aflation either with Republicanism or
with Populsm. They are opposed 10 the
doctrines Of both and they stand on the
old time principles Of true Democracy.
They are not after the offices. They
do not Believe that success Is worth
having. If II must be had at the expense
Of principle. They are not opportunists.
We do not mean TO charge that the
members OF the Chicago party are all
insincerc. II they believe I'm the doctrines
OF Populsm. IL is their duty TO 90 with
the party that represents their views
But that any party can represent at
the same time the principles OF De-
mocracy and the principles of Populism
IS simply impossible. and those who be-
leve I'm the genuine article of Democ-
racy cannot affiliate with the Populistic
amalgamation as accomplished in Chi
cago last year.
Therefore the Sound Money Democrats
will, as the Ledger says. ondeavor 10

napolis and vote their principles regard

THE NEW AMAIGAMATIO

Col. J. p Austin, late chairman or the
Populist party in Fulton county. Ga,
declares that that party is disrupted be-
yond redemption. and that its MEM
bers will all return in good time to the
ranks Of Democracy.
"Populists cannot 20 to tho RcpuhI-
can party" says Colonel Austin
Republicans are opposed to almost eve
~ thing in which a Populist believes.
do not place any set of men above the
Popullsts in devotion to party so long
as the party appeared TO have a mis-
sion and chance to fuhn IT, regret
TO see the unfortunate conditions which
have grown up. ] regret to see the old
oarty's strength broken and observe IL
going 10 pieces. But though II failed
In accomplishing its purpose, 1T unques-
t,onablv had its influence with the DEM
ocrats. They saw our party grow to a
voting strength of 100000 in five years
md the Clevelandites could not with
stand the pressure from the bimetallic
forces.
Now, II all the people who are at heart
opposed TO the single gold standard viii
stand togethe- they will sweep the coun-
try. and 1 believe they will do it,
we do not know Col Austin. and his
name Is doubtless new TO the readers
Of The Times. nut he is a wise man
and he knows political truth when
he sees it. The Populists left the DEM
ocratic party originally because there
was no place in that party for men VINO
believed in the doctrines of Populism.
But when the Chicago convention adopt
ed a Populstic platform. and offered
10 carry into effect the pet theories Of
Populism. the occupation Of the Popu-
list party was gone. and the party soon
Raw that IL had no business TO exist as
separate organization.
Col Austin is right The Populists
have converted the free silver contin-
gent OF the Democratic party into par
tizans OF their own faith and amalgama-
lion is logical and inevitable.
The Philadelphia Ledger in a well-con-
sidered article on this subject says:
The trend OF the Democratic party is
towards permanent amalgamation with
the Populisls and silver Republicans.
These elements have one plank In com
mon. that OF tree silver, and they are
drawing nearer each other on the other
issues. The Democrats OF the South and
West are showing disposition of less
aptagonism towards a protective tarin.
and this makes IL easier for the Silver
Republicans 10 maintain cordial rela-
tons with their allies OF 1896. The Dem
ocratic Conventions IN Ohio and Iowa
have endorsed the Chicago platform prac-
tically without dissent and there is lit
tie doubt that nearly all the Democratic
state Conventions Will follow suit Al

THE PROPOSED TAX on CARDS.

The amendment offered last Saturday
to the tariff bill imposing a tax of
twenty cents on each pack of playing
cards is a suggestion that will produce
very little revenue for the government.
but will most seriously interfere with
the amusement Of many people. The
suggestion originates with those who
think the best way TO stamp out gamb-
ling with cards is to make the gamblers
pay well for their amusement. But. If
they did but know IT, the men who game
for money never give a thought TO
whether a pack Of cards costs them
twenty-five cents or dollar They buy
the cards at either price and go on with
their game. But millions Of the people
amuse themselves I'm the long evenings OF
winter with cards the games being play
ed whHly for amusement, and, to these
people, twenty cents added TO the price
of pack Of playing cards is a serious
matter. In may families it determines
whether the family will have cards or
whether they will not. Take the game
Of whist for instance. 1t is now being
played more and more in its duplicate
form, and about twenty packs of cards
are necessary for that. An addition OF
twenty cents a pack to the cost of the
cards would make the packs necessary
for a game of duplicate whist cost about
four dollars more than now, which would
end duplicate whist in nine families out
of ten where it is now played. Little
revenue would come from this measure
and most serious Interference with
the amusements Of the people would be

The recent visit of the representatives

men Of this country to the Importance of

Kansas succeeded in securing major
ity Of the state board OF railway com
missioners, and, AT the same time, Wich-
tia, the principal commercial city in the
state, was recognized by having one Of
the commissioners assigned to her The
northeast, which has always controlled
a majority Of the board, are very sore,
and more especially Kansas City, Mis-
souri,, the papers Of which town have
since been insisting that that point is
being Disseminated against 1t is a
fact which. If everybody does not
know, is easy of verification by the
freight rate schedules, that that Missou
ri town owes all that she is today TO
favorably discriminating freight rates
But the queer thing to which we would
call attention is the move inspired by
somebody, probably that Missouri town,
TO have Leedy remove Lewelling- Pc
titions to that effect have been received
at the executive department, one from
Harper county, Nobody knows what
Leedy might do, but Republican su-
prene court held that Republican
governor could not remove Breidenthal,
