"The major general comm Hnding

serving the public peace. AS tumultS,
riots, mobs and disorder usually occur

all men who desire to work and their
families have ample protection. He
will protect all trains and other prop
ertp from unlawful interference and
will arrest all persons engaging in
acts Of violence and intimidation and
hold them under guard until their re-
lease will not endanger the public
peace; also that threats, intimidations,
assaults and all acts of violence cease
at once. The public peace and good
order will be preserved upon all oc.

counties, and no interference what.

This Is the first time since the
Homestead riots in 1892 that the en-
tire division of the guard has been
ordered out for strike duty. The cost
to the state of this tour of duty will
probably exceed $1,0O0,00O. How long
the troops will be kept in the field de-
pends entirely on the situation in the
coal regions. AS soon as the strike is
settled the troops will be withdrawn.
Should the men return to work under
military protection and there should
be no danger of a serious outbreak it
is probable the soldiers will be grad
ually withdrawn.

Mr.. Griggs Finds an Issne.

Chairman Griggs of the Democratic
Congressional Committee thought out
a paramount issue for the campaign a
few days ago and at last accounts was
making due North for the purpose Of
presenting it to Lewis Nixon. the for
mer Tammany Chief, and to the Hon.
Ben Cable, of Illinois, who has just re-
turned from European trip.
When interviewed at Washington, on
his way to the conference, Mr. Griggs
was full of his paramount issue lie
expressed the belief that lie had found
the thing that the Democratic party
had been seeking vainly since the last
paramount issue collapsed.
His idea is that If the people Of the
United St,,.os can be brought to I'M
derstand how unfair the Republican
tariff policy is to them in the matter
of wire nails. axle grease, wash boards
and alarm clocks they will rise in a
body and demand that the Democratic
party be placed in control of the gov
ernment at Washington.
There are some Democratic states
men who know when other Democratic
statesmen not only are making them
selves ridiculous. but are trying to
make their followers ridiculous. There
fore, it is not likely that Mr.. Griggs'
issue will be the issue Of the cam
paign. Chicago lDter-0cean.

Brvnnism in the West.

People who have been watching tkl
two wings Of the Democracy since the
work Of reorganization and harmony.
making began on the basis of ignoring
Bryan. Bryahlsm and his platform
must have recognized that the work OF
the reorganiZers is not going on with
that unanimity which was apparent on
the surface of such Democratic State
conventions as those of Indiana, Hi
nois, Iowa and Michigan 1t is easy
for skillful chairmen and managers to
prevent the protest of those who sit
in convention halls, but men who are
batilcd by such methods will speak
their minds sooner or later. Only by
adroit management has the Kansas
City platform been kept out of district
conventions. In the Ninth Indiana dis
trict the open Endorsement Of t1Ie Kan
Sas City platform was prevented by
declaration of admiration of Mr. Bryan
as a leader, which was equivalent to
an Endorsement, since If Mr.. Bryan is
great statesman, brilliant leader and
II true Democrat, Jr. Hill cannot be.
County conventions in this State, chat
ing under the restrictions of the State
platform, have In several instances de-
cared their belief in the Kansas City
platform and in the principles of Mr.,
Bryan as the latest exposition of De
mocracy 1t would be useless for the
leaders who would ignore Organism
and the man TO assert that his follow
ing in the larger cities is rapidly dying
out, because it is not. In a judicial
district convention in Central Illinois,
the Kansas City platform was Endorsed
by a vote of about seven to one. 9th
err indications are not wanting to show
that the element of the Democracy be-
lieying in Mr. Bryan is making stand
There are other indications that must
dishearten the leaders. The other day
Mr.. Watterson, who is opposed to both
Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Brsan, declared
that if it came to the Democrats TO vote
either for Mr.. Cleveland or M. RooSe-
welt. many would vote for the latter.
On the other hand, the Chicago Chron-
icle said that if the Democrats had a
choice between Mr. Bryan and Mr..
Roosevelt, many would vote for the
latter. There are many Democrats who
VIII not vote for Mr., Hill, even If they
do not care for Mr.. Roosevelt. The
candidate probably will not be Cleve-
land or Hill, but it will not be much
better if any man representing their
views the past six years shall be nom
mated Mr.. Bryan is not a candidate,
but any Democrat who has been an ar
dent supporter of Mr. Bryan will not
be able to get the entire Democratic
vote upon a Kansas City platform.
