SCHEMES OF DEMOCRATS.
The Ohio Compromise mt Columbus
Neither Impressive Nor
Formidable.

The injection of much Johnsonism
into the platform adopted by the
democratic state convention recently
and the nomination of Mclean
ticket, may be taken as evidence that
the two millionaire bosses of the
Ohio democracy realized the neces-
sity, from the practical point of
view. of making at least such show
of harmony so that they might have
some faint chance of enough success
at the polls to make it worth while
to fight their quarrels out in the
legislature.
They both know that there is only
the forlornest sort of forlorn hope
for a Bourbon majority in the gem
eral assembly to be elected next fall,
but they also understand that with
out fair show of outward peace
and good will there could be no
chance whatever for anything more
than the unenvious position of chief
mourner at their party's funeral.
Johnson stakes much upon his
catchy theories of taxation. He
realizes, as Bryan, the leader SO late
ly passionately admired and eagerly
followed by Ohio democrats and so
easily and coldly turned aside at Co
| lumbus, never did, the force of the
/ pocket nerve in politics. He appeals
| TO taxpayers in the guise of a re-
| former who would tighten their bur-
dens by laying more of the weight of
/ taxation on the great corporations.
! So Johnson was given a wide swath
to reap in the phrase-making work
of the convention.
Mclean wants a solid organization
and the control of patronage, if the
fates should be kind to Ohio bour-
| bons this year. So he took the tick
ct. Both magnates united in kicking
to the rubbish heap all free silver
nonsense and pretty much everything
else that looked like Organism. The
old radicalism of the Nebraska ora
tor is rejected, and the power of
leaders, some new and others veter-
ans, who want to get far away from
the issues of 1896 and 1900, is appar-
ent in the work of the Columbus con-
vention.
All this scheming does not mean
anything more serious than hard and
loyal work for the republicans of
Ohio. They must not let the cam
paign go by default, in their extreme
confidence of victory at the polls.
That sort of thing is ruinous. But
with proper effort and reasonable
care, all of Johnson's theories and
phrases and all McLean's candidates
and organizers can be buried deeply
under republican majority running
well up the recent Ohio average.
The Columbus compromise is neither
impressive nor formidable. 1t is only
a Few exhibition of trickery by party
bosses and fresh proof of the power

HAVE DOUBLED IN VALUE.
Prices Of Vegetable nre Much Highe eE
Because OF the DrOuth.

Chicago, July 31.-"Though the
drouth is broken" says the Post, "the
woeful effect of the agricultural situ
alton is now being brought home to
Chicago and to S1her cities as well.
Prices of vegetabl average double
what they were a year ago, and to
make both ends meet boarding house
keepers and restaurants have been
compelled either to raise their prices
or to curtail the quantity served.
Eggs, poultry and veal show an ex-
cessive percentage of loss. The fruit
crop has suffered so seriously that
for canning purposes prices are al
most prohibitive,
"Potatoes, which last summer sold
from 30 to 40 cents per bushel, are
now moved at $1.25 to $1.3O. During
the past few days beans have ad-
vanced so cents a bushel."

HUNTED DOWN.
A Notorious Anarchist Es Arrested in
Switzeriand-Has Bad Record.

Zurich, Switzerland, Aug. IAN an
archist named Galliotti was arrested
at Viedikon Monday by order of tho
prosecutor general, on information
received from Paterson, New Jersey.
Many documents were found at his
lodgings.
Paterson, n. j., Aug. lit devel-
ops that Galliotti's name was con-
nected with the story which was
circulated months ago in Paterson
that King Humbert's death was
sought by anarchists. At that time
Careno Fossinni, foreman in dye
works at Paterson, was shot and
killed by Guiseppi SperenZi. The
latter was cornered and when the po-
lice were closing in on him he shot
himself. There was a letter found
on him which told of the plot to kill
King Humbert. 1T called on Speren-
ri to act as one of 81 men to leave
this country to wreak vengeance on
the crowned heads of Europe. A
few weeks afterwards King Humbert
was assassinated.
1t is now said that the letter found
on Sperenzi was signed by Galliotti.
1t has always been claimed that Spe-
renzi's killing of the foreman was to
make up for his refusal to be one of
those to go to Europe.
1T is recalled that Galliotti when
he lived in Paterson had one pet
hobby and this he was forever preach
ing to his countrymen. This was the
reclaiming of the Hackensack mead
ows and the building thereon of a
city. the inha bitants of which would
be devoted to the cause of anarchy.
But no money was ever Forthcoming
to carry out the idea.

WILL TEST THE LAW.
New Y OrIk Gamblers Claim that the
Penal Code of that State Is UncOn-


New York, Aug. 1.-The gamblers
and pool room proprietors of New
York have instituted, through their
attorneys and John r. Dos Passos,
counsel, a proceeding to take the
case of Charles Bennett, an alleged
associate of The Allen" to the Uni
ted States circuit court on the ground
that Sections 343 and 351 of the penal
code of this state in regard to gam
bling are Contrary and repugnant
to the constitution of the United
States and the amendments thereto,
and the laws of the United States"
Mr.. Dos Passos said that if the
United States circuit court sustained
the allegations that the state laws
were unconstitutional, it would have
the effect of making illegal the SEN
tences of all the gamblers raided and
afterward convicted by the committee
of fifteen, and would necessitate a
revision of the laws as they pertain
to gambling in the state of New York.
This is the first time a step of this
character has been taken in this
state.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. IA strike of
all unions, which will be as fatal to
business in this city as in San Fran

stated on good authority that the
proposition is being considered earn
estly that all men belonging to la
Dor unions shall walk out simultane-

Chicago, July 31.-George II. Phil

to the postal authorities his discov-
cry of an alleged attempt at n gigan-

ed with circulars emanating from
New York asking for subscriptions to
a $2,000,000 fictitious pool for deal
in September corn.
The address of the "New York of

have no hesitancy in saying that a
much larger profit will be realized
by each subscriber to this pool than

WASHBURN HAS A SCHEME.
4 Prominent Populist Proposes to
Promote n Combine Of Cotton Plant

eTHs
Boston, July 31.--George f. Wash
burn, president of the Commonwealth
club, of this city, sailed for Europe
yesterday to inquire into the coop
erative methods of several bodies in
England, Belgium and Switzerland,
with view to the formation of a
$50,0O0,OOO cotton combination in this
country.
According to an interview Mr..
Washburn has worked out a plan to
unite the cotton producers of the
south into one great cooperative
trust with headquarters at st. Louis
and central warehouses in Memphis.
He said he had been selected for this
mission because of the special study
he had made of cooperation from q
business mans standpoint; that in his
judgment the only way to meet the
capitalistic combinations and trusts
was to organize better and bigger
ones in the interests of the producers.
Mr.. Washburn said that the appli-
cation of the idea to the cotton in
dustry was made because the plant
ers, being men of means, can unite
in a cooperative business movement
and effect tremendous saving to
themselves.
Mr.. Washburn. who in two national
campaigns was a national executive
committeeman of the peoples party,
was asked if his plan had any politi-
cal significance, and he said only in
so far as it was successful, and in
that case it would have a far-reach-
ing effect along political lines in the
west and SOut N

BIRTH OF A NEW PARTY.
Probability of Mr.. Bryan's Having n
Party That VIII BE All
His Own.

The birth of a new third" party
cannot be said to be an event of great
novelty in this country. 1t would be
conservative to estimate the number
of third" parties now existing, or
claiming to exist, at a dozen or more.
The third party manufacturers are
not, it seems, affected by the prevail
ing impulse toward combination and
consolidation. We can think of moth
ing which could cause a consolidation,
unless, perchance, one third party
should secure by some means a pat
ent on the initiative and referendum.
Then il would have to absorb all the
others. for no self-respecting third
party could exist without platform
including demand for the initiative
and referendum.
The latest addition to the third par
ty list comes from Kansas City, where
the "allied third party" is being era
died. It's statement of principles con-
tains many old friends. Perhaps the
most interesting plank is that relat-
ing to the currency, declaring that
whatever is used as money should be
full legal tender, issued by the gen
eral government in sufficient volume
for business purposes, and that volume
fixed in proportion to population"
This certainly ought to please the
most eXacting of the various orders of
fiat money men. 1t lacks the definite
ness, perhaps, of some of the other
schemes for making money free to all,
but it viii be quite as effective as any.
There seems to be some dispute as
to the relation of Mr.. W. j. Bryan to
this new party. The active organizer,
Mr.. Lee Meriwcther, made Pilgrim
age to Lincoln, and since then has been
throwing out hints to the effect that
Mr.. Bryan is with the scheme, but
Mr. Bryan is reticent. When Mr.. Bryan
is reticent it is certain that something
is brewing. He is not naturally reti-
cent Mr.. Bryans friends say that he
has not connected himself with the al
lied party. They suggest, and it is
quite credible, that Mr.. Bryan thinks
he may find the party useful later, but
cannot tell now-that it depends on
the temper of the democratic party.
If this is true, it is hoped that the
democratic party will get into Il ter
rihle temper, for really Mr.. Bryan
ought to have a party all his own.-

1.-THE MASSACHUSETTS, democrats
talk of turning down Bryan and help
ing to elevate Tom johnson to the
leadership of the national party. Do
the democrats of the great common
wealth believe that the elevation of
Johnsonism means the suppression
of Organism. If so we beg them to
put calm eye on Tom Johnson's
Ohio platform, which is full of denun-
Citations and heresies. Johnsonism is
only another name for Bryanism.-
