The Democratic press which foresees a
Republican breakup on the revision of the
tariff seems to ignore the troubles which
surround the Democracy. Republican diff
ferences regarding the tariff are at best
matters Of detail, since there is no change
OF sentiment in the Republican party as 10
the necessity Of the policy of protection.
II is different with the Democracy. because
its lack of harmony is due TO a radical
difference OF opinion as to the principles the
party shall advocate. Many Democrats
have declared that the silver nonsense must
be dropped and all the Populism in the
Chicago platform must be thoroughly elimi-
mated. making the Democracy a different
party from what it has been since 1896. On
the other hand. Mr.. Bryan takes the other
side and advocates II strenuously every
week in his newspaper, the Commoner.
Aware of the plans Of those who would re-
organize the Democratic party, Mr.. Bryan
declares war upon them at the outset. He
has already compared them 10 burglars,
and the convention is three years away.
In the last issue of his paper. the Com
moner. Mr.. Bryan issues the following or
ders:
Do not allow a man TO be placed upon
any committee. precinct. county. State or
national. unless he is a believer in the Kan
sas City platform. II a man opposed 10 the
Kansas City platform Is sent as a delegate
TO any convention. he should be bound by
instructions and should have associated
with him a sufficient majority who are
sound on the platform. If a man objects 20
instructions leave him at home, no Demo
cratic delegate will object TO an express
sion from the voters whom he seeks 10 rep
resent.
The foregoing is as imperative an order as
was ever issued by the Car OF Russia. The
Car OF Russia never assumed greater au-
thority than does Mr.. Bryan when he de-
clares that nc man must be permitted "a
serve upon a precinct committee unless he
believes in the Chicago platform.
At the very outset Mr.. Bryan has shown
his position. There is no note OF harmony
In his voice. He has already de.
clared war. Can he make a wal
that will be effective. or will his fol-
lowing simply increase the Populist vote a
million or two millions? Was Mr.. Bryan
a prophet when he declared last week tina
where one vote will be gained by abandon,
ing the Chicago platform, ten will be lost?

John Ross. who is now sighting for his
liberty under the insane inquest law. says
he went to the City Dispensary. not for
treatment. but for medicine. His sanity
had never been questioned. He says:

Some of them l didn't partly understand. L
didn't understand how 10 answer them.
They spoke OF certain diseases l never
heard Of before, and l don't remember the

CORN KING MUST EXPLAIN.


CHICAGO. July George Fl. Phillips, the
corn king. was to-day given until Aug. l
by the Board OF Trade directors TO supply
George l.. Inman. one of his former Gus
toners. with a complete record OF the IA
nous deal in May corn. Mr.. Inman in
sisted that Phillips be censured for "un-
businesslike conduct but the directors de-
cided that the only thing necessary for Mr..
Phillips TO do TO vindicate himself was TO
furnish inman with a full report of the
inside workings of the transaction. Phillips
set his clerks TO work TO prepare the state
ments.
The action OF the board came as the last
chapter in a bitter wrangle growing out of
the corner OF two months ago. Mr.. Inman
represents Van Fleet & Co. of Cham
plain. III. At the outset Of the deal Phillips
organized a pool on an agreement that the
profits CT the campaign should be divided
according TO the investment on the PROPOSE
ton OF an average price. Van Fleet &
Co. through Inman, bought 265. Os
bushels. When the deal was consummated
Imam. il is claimed. insisted that he should
be supplied with a statement showing In
what manner his corn was sold. Phillips
says the customer would not accept the
average OF As cents that satisfied every
other associate.

During a debate on the British army re-
organization bill in the House OF Lords a
few days ago Lord Wolseley. former COM
mander-in-chief OF the forces. declared that
the United States army was the finest OF
its size in the world. and said its superior
fly was due TO good wages. He was right
on the first proposition. but wrong on the
second. The superiority OF the American
army Is due much more 10 the character OF
its officers and TO a system that develops
men instead OF machines than it is to good
wages.
