naturally extend his trip to Washington
there This time he would not ride TO
Washington on horse back but We sus-
pcct that Warren Taylor would send MIN
on IN a private car. and we suspect also
that the old man would confess that such
Injuries were better even than Jefferson
ian simplicity. In Washington again he
would find the same old politics. the same
old political methods. the same old Presi-
Dental worries. but everything else
would be new How his old eyes would
sparkle In bcholding those splendid gov
eminent buildings. the smooth streets,
the gaudy stores. the surface cars drawn
by cable or propelled by electricity. and
we would not be surprised IL he should
actually try the luxury Of bicycle spin
over the smooth asphalt Would Mr..
Jefferson talk politics in Washington
We trow not. Not even dollar dinner
would tempt him.
Having finished up his visit in Wash
ington he would go back to Monticello
for the summer. lie would call around
him the descendants Of his old friends Of
former days. lie would give a magnin-
cent feast He would entertain as never
before. lie would say within himself
that it was delight to take a short
respite even from Paradise for such a
delightful experience. lie would see the
people OF the United States fairly re-
yelling I'm luxuries and enjoying to the
full that personal liberty and religious
liberty which he in his wisdom vouch-
safed 10 them. lie would be happy in
the thought that his work was not in
vain but that he builded even more wise
~ than he knew. and that his most san
guine expectations as to the pursuit Of
happiness had been far more than real
izeI.
Some would tell him how the Money
Devil was stalking abroad and how the
corporations. the combines were tramp
ling the people under foot and robbing
them of their possessions. And the Sage
Of Monticello would say: "That reminds
me Of "a story when 1 was here before. 1
was stockholder in a Virginia bank
(sensauom and when the annual meeting
was held the presidents report showed
that the bank had made enough during
the year TO pay an eight per cent. divi-
dend and TO carry a comfortable sum
to surplus. There were no losses to speak
Of and the banks affairs We're in excel
lent shape. The usual motion was made
for committee to examine into the
banks accounts. TO see If the officers had
measured up to their responsibilities An
old fellow from one of the back districts
arose i'm protest I'm agin' the commit
tee said he. The bank has paid a divi-
dcnd Of eight per cent. besides carrying
a good sum 10 surplus. and If any officer
has stole anything. for my part, he's

WILL HI BE THE NoMINEE9

The friends and admirers OF Mr.. VIM
7 Rrvan continue TO insist that he will
certainly be the next nominee OF the
Democratic party for President Some
weeks back we stated reasons which
strongly impened the mind Of The Times
10 the conclusion that it was very prob
lematicsl whether Mr.. Bryan could Sc
cure the nomination We said that the
delegations from the entire South would
most probably be for him and those from
the silver States. But that in the East
the middle States and the nearer western
States. there IS very large body Of Dem
ocrats who utterly abhor the Chicago
platform and its noxious propositions
These men regard Mr.. Bryan and the
Chicago platform as synonymous ana
they will never consent therefore 10 his
nomination. II a majority Of the conven-
,ion nominated, he might still receive II.
put the Democratic rule IS that a can
didate must receive the votes OF two
thirds of the convention ana We doubt
very much whether Mr. Bryan will ever

Mr.. Bryan is relying largely upon his

nemocrats who are opposed 10 him, but

\ SPLIT IN ALABAMA.

"Thero Is a serious split in the Demo-
cratic party OF Alabama" says a special
from Birmingham. Lines are well de-
fined and the coming struggle Will be war
TO the knife. Governor Johnston's effort
10 repeal in an extra session Of the Leg
islature the recently enacted law pro-
viding for constitutional convention Will
be fought TO a bitter end by the Demo
critic Executive Committee. and United
States Senators Morgan and Pettus are
expected to lend active support 10 the
Governors opponents. Indeed. the ques-
ton OF Johnston's standing for a sena-
torshp I'm the near future is involved.
Tonight State-Chairman Lowe has is-
sued an appeal to all Democrats bespeak-
ing their support for the committee. lie
declares the majority has spoken in the
matter and should rule. He points out
that the state convention OF his party
has declared for the new constitution the
committee has declared ii a party issue
and urges voters TO fall In line.
We rather think that this is the be-
ginning OF a new order Of things in tho
South Hitherto the white people Of this
section have been held together in one
party in order 20 protect themselves
against negro rule, but with the negro
question eliminated 1t is a foregone con-
clusion that the whites win split. and for
our part we believe that such change
would be a great blessing. Tho South is
in sad need to-day Of a respectable mi
nority party.

was n free silver man. but that he had
not made up his mind whom he would
support. 1.-THE convention is a year dis
tant." said he. land many things may
happen in that time 10 change the present
situation. Silver may not be the para
mount issue next year. 1t is impossible
TO say now who will be supported by the
Georgia delegation.
This Is indeed a significant deliverance.
Six months ago, had any free silver DEM
ocrat from Georgia been asked who
Georgia would support for the Presidency
there would have been no hesitation about
the answer Now this silver Democrat u III
doubt both as 10 the candidate and the
issue. lie is not sure that Mr.. Bryan
will receive the support Of the Georgia
delegation. and he is not even sure That
silver will be the paramount issue. one
thing is very sure. II the Democrats
abandon free silver they will also abandon
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Bryan knows that fun
well. But how can the Democratic party
cling TO silver and Bryan with every
prophecy Of Bryan as 10 the effect of
continuing the gold standard disproved
by the facts? The New York World OF
yesterday prints this item in its editorial
columns;
OF the cash balance Of S2Sl .NO,o0 in the
Treasury S2il, 900 900 is in gold.
The increase OF gold coin IN circulation
has been remarkable. on April J. lNp'
It was S445. gl2. 256 on April ], 1899 1t was
$685.. So 9i2-a gain in three years Of near
~ $3.50 OOO0OO.
The total money in circulation has IN
creased at the rate OF 100000 Tor every
business day since July ]. 1896. on the
lst Of this month it was nearly $2ooo'-
600. 900. against $500. 100000 three years
ago. The amount per capita on April LIST
was S25 45. against s2l.65 on the same date
in 1896.
We have thus more money and better
money in circulation than ever before at
this time Of year.
This of itself is a sufficient refutation
of the Bryan theory and prophecy.
