York and the other states men
toned?
The debatable ground is where
the battle should be fought-and
that is in New York.
In 1892 Cleveland carried New
York by over 5000, and in 1896
Mr.. Bryan lost it by 26S, 469; yet
the following year in the election
of a chief justice New York was
Democratic by over 10000, and last
year the popular war hero, Roose-
welt, was elected governor by less
than 1900.
1t is far more reasonable to work
for victory in states where the cleo
toral vote is large and the inclina-
ton, with proper guidance, is tow
ard Democracy, than to hustle
around in the woolly west, trying
to corral the elusive Populist.
Put forth the efforts where the
work will bring results. Only in
this way can the Democrats carry
the national election.
Not to proceed in the manner
outlined above leads to a question /:
Is it Democracy that is being cat
cred to in the matter of platform
and candidates, or is it sectional
antipathy? The west against the
east"

Where to Make the Fight.

The Mobile Register says that the
.PopuliStS poll something over a
million votes, and should Mr.. Brv-
an abandon the cause of silver the
PopulistS will abandon him.
In answer to the above statement
the Key West Inter Ocean makes
the following appropriate remarks
as to just where the battle should
be fought-in New York-as fol-
lows:
True, they might, and Il great
many worse calamities might hap
pen to the Democratic party than
the abandonment of the PopulistS.
If Mr.. Bryan secures the nomina-
ton his chances of election will he
come brighter rs each Populistic
idea is eliminated from the Demo-
cratic platform.
The Registers statement that the
PopuliSts poll over million votes
does not need challenging. Itmakcs
no difference. Only in California
and Kansas is the Populist vote
large enough to turn the scale. and
there is no certainty that such
would be the case this year, even
were the Chicago platform adopted
IN the Kansas City convention.

remarks a few days ago regarding
the adoption of a platform that
would suit the people of New York.

Mr.. TOwNE, of Minnesota, who
has been nominated by the POpu-
lists for vice president, is Al years
old. He was born in Michigan and
lived in that state until ten
years ago, when he moved to Du-
luth. Before leaving his native
state he took an active part in poll
tics as a Republican. He was first
a candidate for office after he went
to Minnesota, when he was elected
to the fifty-fourth congress as Re-
publican. He became free silver
Republican" in 1896, walking out
of the st. Louis convention with
Senator Teller and others. He was
defeated for reelection to congress
in 1896 and in 1898. Mr.. Towne
ranks high as an orator and de-
batter.

The last report of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters shows
that the losses by fire in this coun
try last year amounted to sl53. 579,-
$50, the greatest, by the way, for
any year since 1871, except 1898,
when they aggregated Sl67 ,544 =
$40. 1t would be interesting To
know, asks the Times Union and
Citizen, what proportion of the
property thus destroyed was in
sured, and to what extent incen-
diarism may be held responsible Tor
losses so far in excess of anything
that can he found out of the United
States. But enormous rs the az
gregate represented by these losses
is, it is much less than the sum
total paid in premiums for fire in
surance, and which should be taken
into account in any comprehensive
estimate of the expense involved in
this direction.

The TOwne Nomination.

While it seems TO be understood
in a rather indirect way that Mr..
Towne will not remain in second
place on the Populist ticket, if by
so doing he will injure Mr.. Bryan's
chances of success, it is very evil
dent he would like to be Mr.. Bry-
ans running mate on the Demo
cratic ticket. But are there any
prospects of his being nominated
for second place at the Kansas City
convention?
A member of the Democratic
national committee is quoted as
saying: 1.-THE candidate for vice
president must be an eastern DEM
ocrat, and a man not Only loyal to
Democratic principles today, but
in the past"
In view of the fact that Mr..
Towne has been a silver Republi-
can it is easy to see that there will
be great opposition to his nomina-
ton in a Democratic convention,
and while it may be true that he is
in close harmony with the party
that has nominated him, if the
Democratic committeeman above
speaks the sentiment of
his party, Mr.. Towne can hardly
be acceptable at the coming Kansas
City convention.
The general opinion now seems
to be that the POpulists made a
great error in nominating Mr..
Towne. What the Sioux City con-
ought to have done before
their nomination was this:
To consult with the Democrats in
regard to making a nomination for
vice president. and at least put up
1 man whom the Democrats could
AXE without sacrificing themselves.
The dominating influence of that
convention, however, was determin-
I'd to place the Democratic party
m the position Of having to accept
part of the Populist ticket, but it
may be fully understood that Mr..
rowne is to come down anyhow in
case an eastern Democrat is nomi-
mated for second place, as it is too
much to expect that the Democrat
C party will permit itself to be die
.ated to by the Populists in this
'espect. We will be pleased to have
heir aid and assistance, but the
must be Democratic and

We have noticed an attempt on
the part of some of the state press
to condemn Senator Taliaferro Sc

it is remembered that Mr.. Quay's
influence in the L. S. senate has
been of the greatest importance

that he has taken so much interest

State Bureau of Highways.

In recent circular the agricul-
tural department calls attention to
the fact that thirty-one states have
created labor bureaus of industrial
statistics, while but half-a-dOzen
nave highway commissions with
jurisdiction over road affairs. TAX
ing this for a text the Buffalo Even
ing News says:
THE average state legislature is
startlingly prolific i'm measures for
regulating almost every conceiv-
able business that is carried on
within the state. 1t does not stop
with regulating the activities of
mankind, but occasionally takes
shy at the laws of nature, suspend
ing them or repeating them. ac-
cOrding to their own pleasure. SIN
.gularly enough, the mostimportant
question that most vitality concerns
the industrial prosperity of the
state-that of good roads and how
to provide for their construction
is almost entirely ignored by the
legislatures. Some of the states
whose legislatures put in their time
fixing passenger rates for the rail
roads provide nothing but mud
roads on which the farmer must
haul his products to the market.
The first steps in the Inaugural
ton of good roads movement in
each state should be to legalize
bureau of highways or the appoint
ment of Il non-partiSan highway
commission, whose duties should
be To establish capable engineer
in each county, to systematic To-
cal laws and locate suitable ma
terial for road purposes. The system
of working out road taxes should
be abolished and the poll taxes
should be collected in cash. This,
combined with the principle of
state aid, is the only practical solu-
ton of the good roads problem. In
addition to this work on the part
of the state congress should appr0-
PIRATE funds for the offices ofpublic
road inquiries or the establishment
of a national highway bureau TO
cooperate with the states in educat-
ing public sentiment concerning
the Importance Of good roads and
how to construct them.
Here Is 4 very pertinent suggcs-
ton for the next legislature To act
upon. The great good that a pro-
greSSive road movement has al
ready accomplished for several of
the counties i'm this state is the
most comprehensive evidence nee
eSSary to stimulate the formation
of state bureau for highways.
