office shows that no renl progress has been
made toward a settlement of the Alaska
boundary question. The British scheme
Of arbitration was not entirely acceptable

is a reasonable prospect of success, it
is probable that an effort will be made
to convert the social organization into
a political party and, at one blow,
wipe out the democratic, populist and
prohibition, parties and present solid
front of free silyerites to the republi-
cans.
The result Of such a move would
be desti uctive to the democratic par
ty, but ito chances of success could
not even be clsssed as doubtful.
A republican paper says of the re-
organization of the National demo-
cratic committee On free silver basis,
that it is q movement TO render Ger
tain the reelection Of Mckinley,
In one respect, II may be regar ded
a. beneficial, for if the democratic
party permit itself to be again en-
numbered with this issue, it will prob
ably demonstrate so strongly the
sentiments of the people upon this
subject, that they will never be an.
noyed with free silverism again. If
it should have that effect, the country
could we'll afford to have another
campaign led 10y Bryan, Jones,
Allgeldt and men of their way Cf
thinking.
If however, the democratic party,
true to its old traditions and its old
principles, should come forward with
a platform containing nothing but de-
M crazy, including the reaffirmation
of the Monroe doctrine, its enemies
would quake from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. 1t would be party based
upon patriotic principles, and could
go before the people, with an aggre'-
siveness that would be irresistible.
