Democracy should Be United.

Baltimore Sun
The platform adopted by
the Democratic National
Convention in 1895 MADE
the free coinage or eilyer the
leading issue. II Mr.. Bryan
had been elected at that time
and the House Of Represent
atiyes had contained a ma
iority pledged to silver, free
coinage legisla tion could and
probably would have been
enacted The platform a.
dopted at Kansas City last
month makes imperialism
the para mount issue. 1t is
true that the platform also
contains a specific declara-
tion for free coinage, but it
is equally true that there can
be no free coinage as long ne
the Senate ia controlled by
the Republicans. The high
est authorities on finance in
the Republican party have
agreed that the currency leg
isIation enacted at the last
session of Congress will main
tain the gold standard as
long as the act remains on
the statute books. The law
cannot be repealed as long as
the Republicans are in the
Senate. Free coinage, there
lore, in this campaign, is
scarcely more than an aca-
demic question. 1t was a pc
litical blunder to pat the sill

sas City platform, but its
presence in the platform does

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

~
Republican andacity has
done some very neryy things
IN the claiming line of the
past. but the claim of the ad
nlipistratIon shoutels that
the rescue OF the foreigners
in Pekin by the allied army
was a triumph for Mr.. Nc
Kihley's Chinese policy is a.
hout the weakest ever put
out. In the first place, it is
necessary for a man to have
a policy before that policy
can triumph, and in the sec.
ond place, the foreigners at Pc
kin were rescued by an army
composed of soldiers from
half n dozen nations, less
than onp-tenth OF whom We're
Americans. Everybody re-
jcices that the Americans
and other foreigners who
have been shut up in Peki0
have been rescued, but that
rescue was no triumph for
Mr.. McKinley's policy, if his
drifting along can be digni.
fed by the name OF policy. 1t
was rather a piece Of luck for
Mr.. Mckinley, inasmnch as
it relieved the strain on the
public, and opened up an
other dlifting period for him,
in which he need not take
any chances of going wrong
by doing something. 1t is
significant that friends Of the
administration are begin
ming to talk about the prob
ability of the administration
being compelled to take Chi
nese territory in lien Of cash
indemnity. This il believed
to be Il fepler OF the public
pulse.

Que Glass Of Wine.

IL ic-Culu tuobu Ciuf~iC toi'tco
of wine probably wrecked the
Democratic party in 1860.
The story is worth relating.
After the breaking up OF the
National Democratic conven
tion at Charleston the party |
In Georgia held a State Con.
vention. Great excitement
prevailed. The leaders OF the
party conld not agree. 1t vas
a critical period.
The majority report indor-
sed the seceders, or boilers,
at Charleston, while the mi.
nority report opposed their
action. The leading champi
on ~ the minority was Her.
shal Y. johnson. and his fol.
lowers were confident that
his eloquenceand logic would
carry the day, -.
II is quite likely that such
would have been the case but
for an unfortunate mishap.
Ex-Governor Johnson began
his speech before the noon ad
journment on the second day
and concluded after dinner.
Old men who remember
that speech say it was a pow
erful argument. and the i'm
preston gained ground that
after the noon recess the
speaker would demolish his
opponent with a few sledge
hammer blows.
But the over confident
friends of the minority re
port We're doomed to disap
pointment. johnson felt the
strain of the morning session
40 much that he was unable
to eat anything and he took
a glass Of wine upon an emp.
ty stomach to strengthen him
self. This was A ia tai mistake.
That one glass OF wine prob
ably changed the destiny of
the nation.
The great orator resumed
his speech, but the wine nau-
seated him. He was hazy, yer
hose and unintelliglble at
times. His style and argu.
ment lacked vigor, consisten-
cv and positiveness. H / &
friends looked at one anoth-
er in dispair, The men on the
other side were exultant. 1t
was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause
Then Howell Cobb and Hen
ry R. jackson followed each
other for the majority re-
port. They spoke with an
air oil exnltant triumph and
captured the convention.
The majority report was a
dopted. 1t is unnecessary tC
follow the history OF the uext
few weeks. The National De-
mocracy was completely dis
rupted and put two tickets
: in the field. Lincoln was elet
. ted and the country W a
plunged into a civil war. Had
johnson succeeded in Undue
! ing the Georgia convention
to adopt his conservative
: ideas it is safe to say t h a
t other Southern States woul(
, have fallen into line with ouI
! commonwealth. and the Ma
tional Democratic par t !
would have remained united

weigh In the slightest degree against
the one chance that by yielding prompt

safety. could not stop to reason
much on the probabilities Of the ease.
The family was confronted with the

ten, and twenty dollar pieces. These
I placed in large sack and placed the
sack In the buggy. This was shortly
after z o'clock. I then drove out TO
Center street and over to Ruser's park
as directed, following the paved road
In the direction of Fremont. When
I left the city lighted red lantern
as signal and drove along until
came to the lantern with black and

to be my indication that had reached
the spot where the money was to be
left. Here got out of the buggy and
deposited the sack and then drove

Copper Pound a. orea. Depth.

Houghton, Mich, Dec. 21.-At mid

warded when No. 5 shaft of the Tam
arack mine cut eengiomerate lode at
a depth of approximately 4.7Go feet. or
within few feet CT tho point antici-

Miners have worked day and night
since August, 1896, sinking this shaft.

has cost millions. but through which
will probably be hoisted hundreds of
millions Of dollars worth OF copper
during the next fifty years. Success
