POLITICAL POINTS.

The free -ilycrilcs of the Democratic party
held 20 conference in Pottsvillc This week, and
decided that candidates for Congress must
-igu % written pl, dgo to support the Chicago
platform, otherwise an independent candidate
will be placed in the field.
Ia am interview in the Philadelphia papers.
"Si!yer' Wilhelm says ten of the II dele
gates from this county will bolt the Demo-
cratic state convention, unless the Chicago
platform is endorsed, and this will be followed
by the launching of free silver ticket i'm the
state There are breakers ahead.
Tomorrow night John O. Ulrich will tell
the people of Mahanoy City what he knows
about the silver question, and incidentally
boom himself for the Senate.
John +. Finucy has been assured (?) by Mr.,
Brumm of his appointment as Sub.Trcasurcr
at Philadelphia.
Should the Democratic county convention
nominate a gold man" for Congress it is
likely the free siycrites viii run William
Wilhelm as an independent candidate. This
win make a thrce-comered fight
NJ G, Watson, ShenHndoah's ,ayoritc caudi-
date for the Senate, is making an active aud
winning fight for the nomination
Whil many of the Republican leaders do
not doubt the State Committees right to
name a successor to Judge Wick ham. they
think it would be better policy to recall the
convention and give everybody chance.
1t is said John j. Coyle will again make
Mahanoy City his home The ex-senator hats
probably become discourage over the non
approval Of that promised appointment
The boom for George A. jerks for the

An educated ~rlniwd IS not the rule,
but the exception. A newspaper among a
population moro than two-thirds of which
can neither read nor write is not likely to
have a trpm,ulous circulation or unlimit-
ed power Fyeu i'm the cities the circula-
tion is not large. la Epocha, the consery-
ativc organ OF Madrid, for example, has
circulation of less than 5000 copies Out
side of Barcelona and Madrid there are
perhaps coo papers published in Spain,
and not half of these pretend to be nows-
papers.
Indeed out of all the 200 periodicals
published i'm Spain the scientific journals,
religious papers and fashion papers are
largely i'm the majority, while the uewspa-
pers are i'm the minority. Newspaper en-
terprise does not have much encourage
ment. Foreign news is obtained chiefly
from government officials, The whole
kingdom of Spain does not receive rs
many foreign dispatches in week as are
sent TO single city i'm this country in a
single day The average Spanish editor
docs not see much use in paying for an
interesting dispatch from abroad when
the chances argabout ten TO ono that when
he g-ts the dispatch the press censor will
not allow the paper to print it.-Chicago
