y New Greenback Party .

The new party projected by the COXey
conference in St Louis may not at
first be taken seriously by the average
citizen and yet it deserves some con-
sideration. 1t is not entirely a Coxey
cahal which has started the move
ment fora realignment Ofthe Populists.
All the radical elements of the party
which met i'll national convention in
st. Louis last July, and which indorsed
Bryan and nominated Watson, are
represented in the present conference
in this city, The middle-of-the-road
men opposed the conventions course
last July, and they derounce 1t now
and propose programme which will
render impossible its repetition in the
future.
Thus the convention of friends of
reform and lovers of Justice which
the St. Louis conference has called,
which is open at Nashville July i,
1897, promises to have some effect on
the fortunes of the Popuiist and Dem
Ocratic parties, and therefore be of
national interest. CoXey personally
is only a cipher, bus the elements
WHICH are dissatisfied with both the
great parties will hear him for his
cause, and these elements, in their
present mood, are even more bitterly
nnDpSa5 tp tbn nan,pcrotC +IoY +p H..
Republicans. The convention will
either create split in the Populist
ranks or will force that entire party
to make a new departure on some i'm
pOrtant questions of public policy. In
either event it renders impossible the
formation ofany such coalition as that
which supported Bryan last year, and
which gave HIM over 5000. .000of votes,
for all elements of the POpulist party
have. since theelectiOn. spoken against
a renewal of that alliance with the
Democracy.
characterization Of gold as we'll as
of silver which is the chief tenet il
the proposed political creed OF the ST.
Louis radicals conference. will meet
with the favor of large majority of
the Populist party. Boies. Butler, and
many men who belonged to that branch
OF Bryan's supporters in the recent
canvass have enunciated Il similar
doctrine since the election. 1t is true
Boies was still Democrat during the
canvass. but he came out shortly after
ward for monetary policy like that
advocated now by the CoXey wing of
the Populists. This. however, is the
real creed of the POpulists of all
branches, and probably OF nearly half
of all the men Who voted for Bryan.
If Bryan had won. his supporters,
after driving out gold, would then turn
against silver. From the beginning
the Populist organization has been q
greeLback party. bat favored silver as
a step toward pure tiatism and for the
purpose of winning silver votes from
the two great p trties. The new move
meDt probably means a revival of
greenbackism on the lines of fifteen or
twenty years ago. but under con-
ditions which may. for time, give it
more strength than it had in he past.

SPIKED HIS GUNS.

Now in Order.

WASEINGTO:S, d. c., Jan. l1.-Sen-
ator Vests early return to Washing
ton as the nominee OF the Missouri
Democracy for another term of six
years in the Seuate will mean much to
the ambitions OF at least two Mis-
sourians. who are serving as fag-end
accessories to the Cleveland Admins
traitor. If Senator Vest arrives Mon
day night or Tuesday morning. as now
expected. it is quite probable that the
Senate Committee on Finance will re-
port favorably upon the nomination
of David r. Francis to Ee Secretary
of the Interior. If that be done, the
Senate will promptly confirm him.
Senator Vest is also expected to
withdraw his opposition to the con-
firmation OF Isaac H. LiOnberger OF
ST. Louis as Assistant-G General for the
Interior Department. Now that the
Missouri Democratic caucus has unan-
imously put forward Senator Vest as
his own successor, it is beyond the
power of Secretary Francis to do any
mischief. Having thus effectively
spiked his enemy's guns, Senator Vest
is inclined TO be magnanimOus and
the speedy confirmation Of Secretary
Francis may be looked for,

How Patronage VIII Bc Dispensed.
WASHINGTON. u. c.. January g.
According to an Ohio Congressman,
Mr.. Mckinley intends to follow the
plan of President Arthur and throw
the responsibility of making local ap-
pointments upon the Representatives
and State appointments upon the
Senators. When three or four appli-
cants for particular Office came to
Washington with their recommends
tions, Mr.. Arthnr would send them to
their Representative and require him
to decide which should have it. If the
official was to exercise jurisdiction
over more than one district candidates
were sent to the Senators from the
State, and If they came from Demo-
cratic district and State where there
were no Republican Senators or Rep
resentatives, Mr.. Arthur would refer
the matter to the Chairmen of the Re
publican committees.
He took the ground that members of
Congress were the representatives of
the people, and that their acquaint-
ance, association and experience in
their several districts qualified them to
make selections for Office better than
he, who was an entire stranger to the
wants and conditions of the people.
If it was poor appointment he could
hold the Representative responsible
to the people OF the district and re-
quire him to name another man.
President Cleveland discarded this
rule and the recommendation of most
members of Congress have had very
little weight with him. Many Demo-
crats in the House say that they always
their recommendation prejudiced a
candidate with President Cleveland,
and some of them say that they have
often recommended the man they did
not want with the expectation that the
President would select somebody else
and perhaps hit the one they did want.
President Harrison also ignored the
recommendations of congressman, al
though not so much as Mr.. Cleveland
but fl ON the indications thus far Maj.
Mckinley intends that the representa-
tives of the people snail have the privi-
lege ard the responsibility of selecting
Federal officials in their districts.

reason TO suspect that the young man
was at the farm house of Dave Mat

Tippiin. Grizzlies.

The two grizzly bears in the pit of
the Central Park Menagerie are IN
danger of filling drunkards graves
unless some charitable person inter-
venes and pays for their treatment in
some gold-cure sanitarium. The
bears we're led into temptation by a
tramp wearing tattercd clothing, him
self drunkard, who has been in the
habbit of visiting the bear pit daily.
and has named the two glizzlies Peter
and Jacob. The tramp has become
thoroughly acquainted with the bears.
and taught them to come to him at his
bidding.
He was seen yesterday by Patrick
Marren, the bears keeper, giving
one of the grizzlies a black flask which
looked suspiciously like whiskey
bottle. Marren who had noticed the
tramp making his daily rounds and
sharing with the bears his food, which
he had probably begged. went up to
him and asked him what he was doing.
Thereupon the tramp responded that
he was only giving the bear "a ball
of whisky" After little judicious
questioning the fact was developed
that he had been giving the bears
whisky regularly for some time.
The tramp explained that the bears
had become so used dtoreceiveing their

failed to give ii to them they showed
