Can fusion in Iowa survive the action
Of the Iowa democratic convention re-
pudiating the Kansas City platform?
1t appears not. The declaration Of Geu-
eral James B. Weaver foreshadows the
going out of the populists from the
democracy, with whom they have acted
ON the basis of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, particularly on the free
silver and other radical revolutionary
planks.
Iowa pOpulists had built up a con-
siderable party at one time under the
leadership of General Weaver. They
were really the successors of the old
greenback and fiatist party, which he
organized in 1876, and which later
elected him to congress, altogether three
terms. 1t was so strong as to poll 40
600 votes in Iowa when General Weaver
was the greenback candidate for presi-
dent. and in 1873 to carry three con-
gressional districts, which had pre-
viOusly been strongly republican.
With the subsistence of the iatist and
greenback craze General Weaver began
patching up temporary fusion arrange-
ments with the democrats, In the in
tervals of his engagements on the lect-
ure platform. The democratic revo-
luton at Chicago in 1896 was a veritable
Godsend to him. He at once appeared
among the Iowa Bryanite leaders. He
turned over to them the complete pop
ulist organization and led the great mass
OF the party directly into camp. In some
populist quarters there was reluctance
and protest, but General Weaver was
all powerful. He went from county to
county, ~proclaiming that the democratic
party under Organism had in fact Joined
the populists, and should be welcomed
by the latter, although he admitted
that he preferred a paper dollar with
100 cents Of fiat to a silver dollar with
only so cents of fiat, He succeeded so
far that for eight years the populist
party has almost disappeared in Iowa,
its membership having gone bodily over
to the populized democracy.
General Weaver was a conspicuous
member OF the late democratic state
convention, as he has been Of all demo
cratic state conventions since 1895. He
was vehement and even frantic in his
appeals not to turn down the Kansas
City platform, free silverism and pop
ulism, He threatened the instant seees-
sion Of populists and reorganization of
their party. A strong array OF other
spokesman backed him up. The conyen-
ton nevertheless turned down the Kan
sas City platform and now there is a
demand in pOpulist quarters to turn
down the convention. General Weaver
declares that he stands where he stool
before, while the populist press is call
ing loudly for reorganization. In short.

FigBT ON HENDERSON


Hindsight will be more instructive
than foresight for those who are plan
ming to defeat Speaker Henderson in the
Third Iowa congressional district. The
authorized announcement that ex-GOv-
erno Boies will be the unanimously nom
mated democratic candidate means
nothing less than hat the effort will be
seriously. undertaken. 1t is obvious
why he has been selected to be pitted
against the speaker. He has the pres
tige of being the only democrat elected
to the ~governorship of Iowa in almost
q half century. He is an able lawyer,
an effective campaigner and is per-
sonally popular among many elements
Of the democratic party. Formerly a
republican, he left the party on account
Ways intensely anti-prohibition. 1t like
wise always has been notable for its
adherence to sound money. Therefore
the ex-governor, Notwithstanding his
own financial heresies and s~traddling
during the Bryanite epoch, has now
suddenly identified himself with the
movement to repudiate the Kansas City
platform, and on that basis he is put
forward as a candidate for congress.
1t is a cunning, but futile scheme. Col
onel Henderson is one of the strongest
public men in Iowa. He has always
been exceedingly popular among the
masses Of the people, who know him
best. He has regularly been returned
to congress, by steadily increasing ma
jorities, for sixteen years from a district
which, during the first half of that
period, was normally strongly demo-
cratic. His majorities could not be
overcome even in the most troublous
days Of prohibition. His people, out
side of party lines, have taken just
pride in the influential position to which
be rose in the national house of repre-
sentatives, a position which has been
crowned by his elevation and reelection
to the speakership, as the successor of
Thomas b. Reed. 1t will take more
than cunning political tricks and dex
trous management to defeat Colonel
Henderson in the Third district. The
nomination of Ex-Governor Boies means
an active canvass of the district, and an
active canvass means a large vote at
the polls and a large vote means, under
the circumstances a large Henderson
majority.

MUNICIPAL HOME RULE.

The popular demand for municipal
home rule has become one Of the vital
issue of this years campaign. That
demand, so far as Omaha is concerned,
will not be fully satisfied until Omaha
shall be given the right to make it's own
charter and amend 1t from time to time
by ratification of the people. Such a re-
form can, however, be secured only by
constitutional amendment, which means
at least four years delay.
Home rule in the government Of the
police and fire departments of Omaha
is within reach by simple amendment of
the charter. The only question upon
which public opinion is yet unsettled is
whether the members of the police board
should be appointed by the mayor, sub
ject to confirmation by the council, or
whether they should be elected by direct
vote of the people, and thus made in
dependent Of the other city authorities.
Those who favor appointment of com-
missions by the mayor and council
contend that the whole responsibility
for law and order should be centered in
the executive, while those who favor an
elective commission contend that the
board should be independent and an
swerable only to the people for the eff
cheney Of the police and fire departments.
1t seems to us hat an elective COM
mission with limited powers would be
most satisfactory. AS chief executive
Of the city, responsible for the mainte-
nance of law and order, the mayor should
have absolute power to appoint all off,
GERS and members of the police and fire
departments subject to confirmation by
the police commission. The mayor should
also have absolute power to appoint spe-
cial police officers to serve in an emer-
gency. The commission, on the other
hand, should have authority to prescribe
regulations for the government and dis
cipline of police and fire departments,
but no removals should be made except
after conviction on specific charges. The
mayor being the chief executive, he alone
should be empowered to issue orders to
the police through It's officers, being sub
ject to answer for an abuse Of police
powers to the council and courts. In
acting as an excise board an elective
commission, with the mayor as its chair
man, would be in position to discharge
its duties impartially and without clash
ing, but all orders for the execution of
the laws should be given by the mayor
only.
Under such conditions home rule in
the police and fire departments would be
a great improvement Over g~overnor-ap-
pointed boards and divided authority in
the discipline OF the departments.

whose SURFACES elevate him to that ex.

future presidents isolated from the out
side world and constantly protected by
armed guards from exposure to dan
gerous contact with the general public.
Although only a short year has elapsed,
il is seen that all these forebodings
were without good grounds. President
Roosevelt goes about with even greater
freedom than his predecessors, satisfied
that his safety lies in maintaining per-
feet confidence with the people-in fact

Real and Imaginary Dangers.
Washington Post

Washington Post.
We have no words wherewith to discuss
the carelessness which subjected the presl-
dent to so terrible a risk. He is con-
stantly environed by guards, detectives,
etc.-so much so that his movements are
restrained and his resentments provoked.
Honest and devoted fellows follow him
wherever he may go. The nations solicit
tude is expressed in a sedulous, almost OPP
pressive, surveillance that gals Mr.. Roose-
welt at every turn and hurts his passionate
desire for freedom. This is to be regretted,
though precedent warns us that It is ad-
visable. We are bound to say, however,
that the vigilance might have been more
wisely adjusted Wednesday morning and
that forethought for real instead OF imagi-
nary dangers would have represented more
intrinsic intelligence and operated more
security for the presidents person. For
every homicidal crank in this country
there are twenty, fifty homicidal trolley
cars and automobiles. OF every FIVE guar
dams assigned to Mr.. Roosevelt at least
four should be instructed to look after the
everyday perils with which steam and
electricity have invested life.

Futllity of Ordinary Precautions.

Detroit Free Press.
The accident serves to demonstrate the
futility Of any general plans for the protec-
ton Of the life OF a president Of the United
States, unless we make him a ~recluse. When
President Mckinley was assassinated
learned writer's proceeded to show that the
nation could not afford to have the life OF
its chief executive jeoparded by public re-
captions to which any lunatic might gain
admission. They must now argue that
tally-ho coaches and electric cars are, per
Sc, sources Of great danger to chief execu-
tives and hence must be avoided by presi-
dents. Perhaps the disaster at Pittsheld
will show the utter absurdity Of any discus
sion Of the subject and the impossibility Of
taking precautions which the president him
self does not take. The nation cannot be
more careful Of the life Of the president
than the president is himself. and it is fair
to presume that it is not more solicitous
about the preservation of that life.

Probability Of = Three-Time Alliance
Two Years Hence.

Two Years Hence.
washington Post.
IL have always held" said Mr.. Bryan GA
a lecture in Missouri a few days AGO.
that II Is good and proper for democrats
and populists to unite against republicans
I'm elections" Always" is a very com
prehenslve word. II is, in fact, a more
comprehensive word than Mr.. Bryan can
AFFORD to use in that connection, for there
was a time, not in the very remote past,
when Mr. Bryan voluntarily offered 10
stump the state of Virginia for a populist
candidate against Hon. Charles T. OFFER
rail-. the regularly nominated democratic
candidate for governor OF that state. Mr..
Bryan was finally persuaded to abandon
that scheme, but he has never denied and
we venture to say never win deny the
charge.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Bryan is looking for.
ward to and doing his best to promote in
1904 a repetition Of the alliance Of 1896
and 1900. All of his political deliveranccs,
whether in his addresses or in his editor
falls, point unmisakabIy in that direction.
The test OF democracy which he sets up
rules out all democrats who do not sub
scribe to a platform on which the popu-
lists would consent to continue for an
other campaign the twice-defeated ALI
ance. And while he declares that he will
not be the candidate, he labors necessarily
to create conditions that would render the
candidacy Of any other man a ~palpable
absurdity. 1t is obvious that IL the lem
ocrats and populists agree to pull together
in 1904 Mr.. Bryan must be the candidate.
But II is growing more probable every
day that the democrats will abandon pop
ullsm and get together on a platform
which will not insult the overwhelming
majority Of the party who are weary Of
Organism. Should that hope be realized
the reorganized party could reasonably ex-
pect recruits from the republican party
and the accession to full membership Of
thousands Of populists whose faith in
worthless money has been destroyed by
the rude shocks to which It has been sub
iectad. - -.

The appeal issued by General Ell Tor
rance, commander-in-chief Of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, asking the mem

ward building the home for confederate
veterans at Mission Greek, Ala, has in
it the eminently practical kind OF senti-
ment that is solid and substantial. BY
helping to build the home for their for
mer foemen, the union veterans will be
able TO show that they are in earnest in
their professions OF amity and in their

the men who, however mistaken in the
cause for which they took up arms, were

Greater care Necessary.
Chicago Post.

Such accidents as this are by no means Of
rare occurrence. The extension OF electric
railway lines through the country districts.
the introduction of heavy cars and the eff
forts to have these cars make express train
speed have combined to a many more
dangerous railroad crossings than there
we're when the steam roads alone traversed
the rural districts. For this reason the
same care should be exercised by those who
use the highways in looking out for electric
cars as has become habitual where the
steam railroads are concerned.

Prohibition has brought the republi-

crisis. Almost One-half of the republi-
can voters bolted and set up an indie

the prohibition laws. They absolutely

were anywhere near equally divided in
Vermont prohibition would have turned
that state overwhelmingly over to the

Lesson of the Accident.

chicago News.
The only lesson to be read from the acci-
dent is the need OF continuing to take pre-
cautions against casualties of all kinds
SO far as human foresight can forecast
such contingencies. The president Of the
United States can hardly be required 10
immune himself permanently within the
walls Of his home and preclude every pos-
sibility Of accident which might arise from
journeys abroad. Furthermore, he is about
the last mai to attempt such methods Of
warding off danger.
