DEWEY was asked in Austria about
the peace conference at the Hague.
Said he: "Who is to disarm first?
The experiment was tried in the Unit
ed States, and look what it cost US to
get ready in time and how we had to
fear the issue. We now think differ
emily and are building forty men-of-
war. We shall not be taken by sur
prise and found unprepared again; and
it is hard to believe in view of our ter
rife exertions that the other powers
will abandon the advantage of their
ornaments and give them up."

CLARK HOWELL, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, democrat and
free silver fanatic, says it will be abso-
lutely necessary for the democratic
party to nominate Bryan, on q free sil-
yer platform, in order to keep the
populists quiet. He says populism Is
dead now, but that If the democratic
party should repudiate its reputation
platform the populists would rise from
their ashes and make trouble in camp.
Which means that the democrats are
at the mercy Of the populists, and
could not stand up for an honest cur
rency if they wanted to without hope
lessly splitting the party in the south.
