4 QUEER BEGINNING.

Il &c Noticeable that our Democratic friends
orc soIicitous|v seeking to confne the political
campaign lust beginning in this State to the
discussion of estate issues" Nor can mucn
surprise he felt over the adoption of this pohcy
when one recalls the crushing defeat OF 'He
Democratic party on National issues only TWO
years ago National issues that yet nave great
vitality and threaten 10 divide the party once
moro Rut. nevertheless. there Is cause ior
some bewildcrmcnt when certain features oil
the Democratic state issues campaign are
calmly observed
National issues are to be ignored ny Demo
Gratis Very well. But. then. why Is II 'hh' ho
Democrat is conceded 10 have n chancc ol TO-
covnc the party's nomination for |oVerh"r
unless he voted for William J. Bryan! II
would appear from this distressing crcum-
stance-extremely distressing to Hosweh -
Flower-that National issue Is to control inc
situation at the very outset. Moreover one o'
tho most conspicuous candidates Is EInot baii-
forth. the chairman of that Democratic STATE
Committee whose members strove WIN al
their might In 1896 to put Ncw-lork III 'he
column Of Reputation States. Wilbur r. ioT-
ter of WATERFOWL also seeks the NOMINATION.
He Is the gentleman who accepted the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor In lSN as Il
candidate emphatically favoring the free coin
occ of the silver dollar Then there Is justice
u Cady Hprrck. of the Supreme Court. VINO
frankly saws that he voted for Bryan. while
mot claiming any special credit for IT. And
by way of cumulative evidence on tho subject
Of the class Of Democrats favored for the nom
nation for Governor. there Is Justice Robert
C. Titus. likewise Of tho Supreme Court. VINO
was so devoted to the cause OF silver that he
accented the nomination for Associate Judge
Of the Court Of Appeals on the Bryan Demo
cr,tjc State ticket in 1896. and was defeated
by 243. 600 votes.
Nor should Senator Edward Murphy. jr, no
forgotten. He Is not n candidate for Governor,
II IS true. but he IS candidate for reelection
as United States Senator. With his record "i
forvcnt loyalty To Bryan in 1896 and the tcSti-
monv Of his recent action In the Senate In sup
mort Of tho Teller silver resolution no one can
douht his nosIfion on the National currency
Issue. He Is a Bryan Democrat seeking re
election As such He stands pledged. there

denominations Of the Chicago platform. \ can
didoto on National issues he Is and must rc-
main. He is not state issues candidate.
The Democratic candidates for the Senate ana

pudlation Of tho Nations debts.

FRANCE AND SPAIN.

That, as the Madrid correspondent Of THE
london Times" declares The idea of a pcrma-
nent Impeachment between France and Spain
is in the air, and may presently assume prac-
teal importance, IS not in the least surprising.
1t is In entire accord with the natural fitness
of things. and it marks the logical elimination
OF the moro or less continuous operations Of
three centuries or more The Peace Of the
Pyrenees established the supremacy of French
influence in Spain. which has never been wholly
overthrown. The aw-jucgllng Of Philip con
Armed It In n manner disastrous TO the Ibcrian
Kingdom. from which most OF the intestine
troubles OF the last seventy years have come.
The policy OF Grlmaldi the scoundrelism of the
prince OF the Peace" and the weak worth
essness OF the last Ferdinand, maintained 1t
and conducted It In ever-ncreasing potency
down TO the present time. Race relationship.
dynastic traditions. geographical proximity.
trndc intercourse. financial obligations. all make
powerfully TO the same end. So does the fact
that reverson Of SPANS sovereignty on the
Iris md Bojador coast and OF the Moroccan
Sultnnate in which Spain has so deep an In
tcrest Is strongly needed TO round out fully the
African domain Of France.
The question ls whether increasing Gallo
dominance will leavcn the Spanish lump and
bring It to such n state Of practical domestic
industry and thrift as that OF France, or will
merely make Spain more and more an APP
panage protectorate. ultimately n province.
OF France That Is to be answered by Spain
herself The Liberal" Of Madrid says truly
