Quick Conversion.

Charles A. Towne deserted the
republican party on the silver issue.
He was nominated for Vice Plesi
dent by the populist wing of the
democratic party at the Sioux Falls
convention May 10, 1900, on rsdi-
cal silver platform. Forced OF the
ticket by the democratic managers,
he was yet regarded as the leader Of
the ultra -silvermen, republicans and
democrats, in the presidential cam
paign. As q reward for his services
he was appointed United States SEN
ator, by a governor of his own way
of thinking, and held his seat long
enough to make one anti expansion
speech and to announce his adher-
ence to the worst phases of Brysn-
ism.
Now Mr.. Towne declares in an au-
thorized interview: 1.-THE free silver
question is absolutely dead. 1t will
not only not be an issue in 1904,
but I do not believe il will be mem
toned in the democratic platform or
campaign. = So long as
the present condition eontinuee or
the supply of gold increases, there
can be no successful or serious de-

drifting without a policy. Other
democratic leaders who have fore
sight realize the condition into which
their party has fallen. Hence their
dissensions.
Despairing of success on the lines
of the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms, the conservative demo-
Gratis would 60 back to the tariff and
the shop worn platforms, which,
with the exception Of 1884 and 1892
were rejected by the people. On
the other hand, the radical element
led by men like Mr.. johnson, insists
that the weather beaten platforms OF
the archaic democracy will no longer
support anything. Mr.. johnson and
the element that he represents are
for further advance along the lines
of the platforms of 1895 and 1900.
II the democrats attempt to re-
trace the steps they took in 1898 and
in 1900, they invite desertion from
their ranks. If they presume to sd-
vance from the position they took in
1896 and in 1900. they lose half
their strength. No wonder they are
divided.
Mr.. Johnson, rs chairman Of the
democratic national executive com
mittee, speaks for his party in most
of the western and southern states.
In the east the conservatives rule the
party organization. In Ohio it is
the same In the west, with the
possible exception of some OF the
leaders in Wisconsin, Indiana and
Illinois, Mr.. Johnson's interview will
be accepted as sound democratic
doctrine In this state many demo-
cratic leaders will repudiste it as
they have repudiated Bryan. In all
the states it will promote dissension.

Az industrial and financial condi-
tions were the same in the summer
of 1900 as they are in the summer
of 1901, Mr.. Towne oonfesses that he
was in error year ago, that he mis-
led the silver republicans, Of the
West or attempted to mislead them,
and that, in his own language, he
didn't care . rap on what platform
the democratic party won, so that it
won. He believes the same feeling
prevails among democrats Of the
West today, and that DAVID B. Hill
of New York, will be the democratic
nominee for President in 1904, on
an anti Bryan platform. This may
induce Mr.. Bryan to lead demo-
cratic bolt, but, Mr.. Towne says
frankly, without hope Of success.
Mr.. Towne announces to the Amer.
ican people not only his desertion Of
Mr. Bryan, but his change Of heart
on the silver question. A year ago
he was the ideal representative of
silver sentiment in the Wes3. Now
he says there is no such sentiment
and practically admits that he was
mistaken whom in the last presiden-
tisl campaign, he insisted there was.
This is quick conversion, and it may
be that Mr.. Towne will recant in
other matters and in view Of recent
events come before the people in q
few weeks to confess that he was
wrong on the expansion question:

Tho Leading Industry.

The present widespread losses on
account of drouth are strong re-
minder CT the fact that all the man
ufacturing and mining and mnni-
cipal scheming are but drop in the
bucket in contrast with the one
crest industry Of agriculture. 1t
represents 80 per cent of the prop
erty and possessions of the country.
Some smart city people cultivate
supercilious feeling toward farms
and farmers, and pretend that the
airs and graces of social and politi
cal life constitute all that is worth
anything. Some of the persons en-
gagged in mercantile and manufact-
uring pursuits have similar feeling.
Yet all their business in mining and
manufacturing and trading sinks to
petty figures in contest with those
Of the farms.
Already the estimates of losses
caused by the drouth, which does
not yet show any sign Of q break,
are said by some one who claims to
be sn authority to be something like
this:
Kansas. .S2OO,OOO,OOO
Nebraska ........11,OO 100000
Missouri ....... 100, 100000
Dakotas and MINI. rs, 100000
Iowa. a..............7 100000
Along side Of such figures as these
Colorado's gold mining, with year,
ly product of s3O,OOO,OOO, is not
very important, and that of Alaska
and California together is but little
more.-Pueblo Chieftain.

AFTERMATH.

Thursday.

The Occasion was a Notable one in
Every Respeet-Some Disapp0int.
ments we're Encountered UniOntoWn
and Fairmont very well Represented
No Disorder was Experienced.
Decoration Day was celebrated in
a fitting manner. There was very
large crowd here and they enjoyed
themselves in the proper manner.
There was noticeable lack of disor-
der or drunkenness and nothing oc
Cured to mar the day.
Fairmont and Uniontown were
particularly well represented each
town sending about two hundred
Uniontown and Connellsville would
have sent many more if the special
had run as advertised by the B. and
O. Every one was sorry that they
heard no more of Rutter's band than
they did. They enjoyed their visit
hugely however.
The Greater Fairmont band made
a good impression and delighted the
crowd frequently with their music.
They gave nice concert in the even
ing in front OF the court house. We
are always glad to see our friends
from these places and they have a
cordial invition to return often.
Point Marion sent up very large
crowd on The Blanche Edna. The
down river town made fine i'm
preston all day.
Two large boat loads of people
failed to get here. One of them
started from below lock four but
failed to get above number six on
account of the refusal Of the lock
keepers to put them through by
reason OF the high water The Dew
ey started from Brownsville but was
held up at number six also. We are
sorry that they did not get here.
The parade passed off without a
hitch and the credit in great measure
is due to Major Burns Grand Maj
shall and his efficient staff Com
mander r. M. G. Brown saw to it
that all the arrangements were car
ried out perfectly. The Glasswork-
ers Union had the largest delegation
in line and the men presented very
fine appearance. They were recip
tents Of many compliments.
The University cadets and Com
pany L showed up well The lat
ter organization was highly compli.
mented BY Major Burns and other
military men who saw them march
on their excellent discipline and fine
marching in company front and in
