Cropping in the Dark.

Chairman Jones, OF the Democratic
national committee, is becoming fiigety
and erradc. The Intelligencer has com
planned more than once about his in
ability to see some things and the won
derful sight he claimed to possess to see
other things. In 1896 Chairman Jones
made the rather peculiar complaint OF
bad treatment OF the Bryan managers
by the Chicago newspapers. The cleve-
land Leader observes that at appears
that Mr.. Jones has fresh cause of dis
satisfaction, or else he is making some
very shallow observations on the sub
ject of the coming campaign. He Is
quoted as saying that Bryan wlll carry
all the states which voted for him in
1896, and also Maryland and Kentucky.
Besides. according to the published ac-
counts of what Senator JONES has said,
he expects the Nebraska orator to have
a splendid fighting chance in Indiana,
Ohio and New York.
This Is an absurd view of the political
situation. Bryan carried Washington
in 1896. and he also won in South Dako-
ka. But to class both of those states as
sure for the Democrats this year. while
Indiana is rated as only good fighting
ground and West Virginia is not men
toned at all, is most shallow and in-
competent survey of the field of party
battle.
1t Is not to be expected that Senator
Jones should see any other than the
Democratic side of the political situa-
ton. but he ought to understand that
Washington, Kansas and South Dakota,
all of which states were carried for Bry-
an In 1886, were not nearly so close, in
the latest elections. as Indiana, New
York. or Ohio. respectively TO the pOpu-
lation. II Bryan cannot carry Indiana
and West Virginia he certainly cannot
come anywhere near winning in Kan
sas or Washington. New York was
much closer than South Dakota in the
latest tests made of party strength.
The truth is that no Democratic lead
er seems to have clear and well de-
fined idea of the states which Bryan
must carry, II the boasts of his support
ers are to be justified next November.
There is no well dlgested statement of
winning combinations OF Democratic
votes. Hopeful general predictions are
common enough, SO are vague and
rambling estimates OF results by states.
but they carry no weight because they
are obviously inconsistent, uIreason-
able and haphazard. 1t is evident that
Democratic leaders are merely feeling
about blhdly in the air for the votes
they must have to elect their candI-

Every candid person knows that the
vociferously expressed sympathy of the
Bryan Democracy with the Beers is not
sincere, but merely an expedient to
catch the unwary voter. The Demo-
cracy entered upon an antagJnism to
the attitude of the administration which
sought to maintain strict neutrality and
non-interference with the South Afri-
can conflict for the purpose OF detach-
ing the support OF that class OF citizens
who were the real sympathizers with
the Beers. There is no doubt that the
sincere sympathy Of the administration
and the Republican party is with the
people of the Transvaal, but there are
some International decencles that have
to be observed, but which the Democ-
racy advocates should be ignored. The
cry of the Democracy for intervention
is an expedient, the position OF the Re-
publican PARTY is a principle. The Boer
commissioners to this country were
pretty well convinced OF the Justice OF
the administrations policy so far as this
country was concerned, and gave little
encouragement to those political
mountebanks sulzrr and Lentz, who
wanted to make political capital out OF
them while they we're tn this country.
But the convincing approval OF the
policy OF the United States comes from
a brief but weighty letter which some
nifty American citizens resident In South
Africa have addressed ITO the National
Political Conventions and the People OF
the United States OF America" The
document is worthy OF reproduction for
perusal, ms follows;
eve, the undersigned American ciii-
zens, resident in South Africa, though
entertaining different views as to tbs
merits OF the controversy that has Gull
minated in the present war. are entire
~ agreed that the cause of humanity
will best be served by our fellow citi-
zens In the United States observing n
strict neutrality toward both b2lliger-
onts. As Republicans and Democrats
we unite in deeply regrettIng the efforts
that we now learn are being made to
drag this unhappy matter into politics.
since we realize that such n course can
have no beneficial result to either Of tn
beIIgnrents. but on the contrary is cal
culated to prolong the strife by raising
false hopes, We appeal to all political
parties In the United statesin the name
OF humanity to refrain from cruelty
playing with this matter for political
purposes, believing as VIC do that there
