Democracy.

AhC tCAAh DcihOCldCg II INV
applicable to three distinct political
party Organizations-the Coli Dem
ocrGcy, the Silver Democracy and
the Social Democracy. This last is
known as Debbs' new party and
its name, coupled with the names
Of people who have already gone
into it, implies that it is to contain
the anarchistic element which the
silver Democracy of Ohio and
Illinois recently showed out. Debbs
has shown in the past wonderful
capabilities as an organizer, and will
marshal under his new banner of
Social Democracy a numerical pow
er of foreign-born voters that will
prove disheartening to the leaders of
both the Populist party and the
Silver Democracy. The leaders of
the latter party, I owever, will feel |
compensated in some measure for
their loss, by the aid of silver Re
publicans, but in the case of the |
Populists there will be no reserve
force from which to replenish their
loss. The great leader of strikes
has so overtowering an ambition to |
become factor in the politics of
TINS country that it might well cause |
even William Jennings Bryan to |
stand back in admiration, and to |
this end he will doubtless subordin-
ate all considerations of practical |
politics. No one knows better than
DebDs that a strong organization,
such as he believes himself capable
Of making the Social Democracy,
would render the election of BRYAN
to the Presidency in 1900 an utter
impossibility. The silver Dem
ocracy has taken the bit in its teeth
and given notice to the silver Re
Populists and anarchists
that all who take seats in that ban d
wagon must show passes as silver
Democrats. As a rule silver Re-
publicans may do this, but the
Populists and social Democrats will
hardly follow such a programme.
While the opposition to the regular
Republican party is thus being
weakened by divisions-divisions
that can be united only with the
greatest difficulty, possibly not at
G. o. p, under the REIN
influences of the Dingley
tariff law and the redemp ion of
pledges, will become ronger and
stronger, until in 1900 it will be an
irresistible political force that shall
WELD the sceptre Of governmental
power for years to come.
The calamity yelpers find their
program for 1897 materially inter
tered with by the fact that crops are
light abroad and heavy in the
United States, and that the farmers
are therefore more prosperous in
1897 than for many years.
The protection given to tin-plate
man tacturers.in this country under
the old Mckinley tariff law and
concerning which Democratic orators
said so much. during the campaign
of 1888, has had the effect to make
cheaper than ever before.
The German press in "Faterland"
is echOing the dismal howl of the
newspapers of Great Britain against
the new revision of the American
tariff law, and thus accumulates
of the wisdom of the
revision from the standpoint of
American interests. Foreign coun-
tries are eager for an American out
let for their surplus products, but
are unwilling to pay for the con-
venience.

duty on tobacco at the weight it goe3

A Sensational Story.

A special to the st. Louis Globs.D
mocrat from Los Angeles, Cal says:
A letter written by a japanese official
in Japan to a former japanese officer
living in this city conveys the infor'
nation that the japanese government
will forward 10 Honolulu, in the lat
ter part of July, ], 500 Japanese immi
grants. These individuals are now in
the garrison at Nsegat, being soldiers
in the Japanese service, and will GO
on shore in Honolulu as simple citizens
but drilled and ready for military duty
at once. The steamers which arc to
convey the men have been chartered
by the japanese government, and will
carry, in addition 10 the 500 passen'
gers, arms, ammunition and military
stores of sufficient quantity 10 make
it interesting for any party trying 10
prevent their landing. In addition,
three large men of-war are already
prepared TO leave Yokohama, to ar
rive at Honolulu a. about the same
time as the landing Of the so.cailea in
migrants will take place.
The correspondent, who has been
educated in the United States, used
the expression, 10 doubt acquired
when here: we will get there, and
don't you forget it," and remarked
further: Il cannot write this in my
own language, but you understand
English"
Predictions conveyed in previous
letters from this official were verified.
