trials and tribulatiOns that greatness
carries in its wake The mayor-eleCt
has his first message to whip into

when councils reorGanize; he has heads
of departments TO select and offices of
various kinds TO fill. He is expected to
apportion out these offices so judicious-
ly that the public services will be prop
crly attended to by the men hr selects

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

Tie country newspaper is An import.
ant agency in the cultivation Of public
spirit, and however humble il may seem
beside the metropolitan daily it has q
place in popular education which il
too little regarded. While the editor
is not often above the rank of practi-
cal printer there are many persons in
most of the suburban towns-slsrgy-
men, lawyers, teachers and cthsrs-
who have the leisure and ability 10 use
the poper as the vehicle of influence
over their fellow citizens.
The country newspaper is usually
local in its news, and the very people
might make il fresh and suggestive
are those who complain most loudly Of
its neagre character. Short article.
pertaining to local interests are ALWAYS
welcomed in its colunns, and the man
and women who most desire to mako
home life In the country rich and inf
entail can best do SO by contributing |
freely TO its colums Of what they hay. |
in mind. In:some places this has been |
done. and the result in tho quisk.ned

CHAIRMAN JONES ON THE
ISSUE.

| Washington, February 18. Senator
James K. Jones, chairman of the Dem
ocratlc National Committee, is not in
accord with Mr.. Croker, of New York,
and Mr.. Wall, of Wisconsin, regarding
the paramount issue in tho next Pres-
dental campa gn. He said to-day:
"Io ray that the next Democratic
national convention vii reafirm the
position taken by the convention in
1896 is to assert what every candid
man. even slightly familiar with exist
ing facts, knows to be true. 1t is certain
- auy thing human can be thai the
question tf b;mstslIism will be the
leading issue in the campaign next
year. And it is reasonable 10 expect
hat the majority Of the people will
NEXT time declare for the party which
means what it says and will redeem its
pledges, and that they will not again
be trieksi into cas- ing their votes in
favor Of the enemies Of the principles
10 which they believe
"On what grounds do you base your
hopes for success neRt year," be was
asked.
';Some of the reasons why 1 am
strongly hopeful OF the future of our
cause are IS follows: In the campaign
OF 1896 both parties declared TO,
bimetallism; the Democrats for indie
pendent acticn BY the Uuited States,
the Republicans for an internal agree
m'nt. which they pledged themselves
10 promote True, this declaration
on the part Of she Republicans was
only made to catch votes, and because
the party leaders did not dare to 20 to
the polls without il, think now no
one any longer doubts that the fixed
purpose Of those who controlled those
eaders to maintain the gold stand
'rd, and to event, NOT remote, an
internal 81 eement. The declaration
however, served its purpose, and vast
numbers OF sincere bimetallists were
persuaded to vote for the Republican
iekes, in the belief that they were vot-
ng for honest effort to secure inter
ational bimetallism. The leaders who
Tere responsible for this trick have al
sady committed their party TO the
lngls gold standard, SO far as they
an, and if they dare speak out honestly
their next national platform it will .
sclsrs for the single gold standard.
