i'm this case. inasmuch as it was the I'M
soundness of the Morse Henze chain of
banks. that precipitated the financial
crash of last October These men played
the delicate game of buying control in
one bank and then pledging the stock thus
obtained as security for the stock of an
other bank, thereby giving them control
of the second. and then. by the same
process. a third, and fourth. and so on.
There is no telling where the process
tenn of banking was devised for the sole
purpose of giving the manipulators con-
troll of an enormous fund for stock gam
bling purposes. the weakening OF the mar
ket not merely cramped the individual
operators. but caused the distress of all
their contributory banking houses. The
banking laws had undoubtedly been vio-
lated. in spirit, if not in letter. 1t was
distinctly plain. a few days after the first
collapse of the series, that the system of
safeguards had proved inadequate.
Now it is to be demonstrated whether
the only way for the law to lay its hands
upon the a-ch manipulation of this bank
ing chain, whose reckless financiering is
believed to have cost the public enormous
losses directly and Indirectly. is to ac-
cuse him of grand larceny growing out
of transaction which may possibly have
been only a little misunderstanding be-
tween partners

Conventions Galore.

In thinking of the Chicago convention
get that there will be others. There will
be one other before either of those two.
The populists will meet in st. Louis April
.; it will be decided this month when the
Independence League will hold it's national
convention and at Columbus. Ohio, July
TO- the prohibitionsts will meet.
At present the populists are divided
as to what should be done. There are
nridroaders who's are proof against Mr..
Bryan's ESTABLISHMENTS. and want to name
a national ticket regardless Of what may
or may not take place at Denver. On the
other hand, there is faction well per-
suaded that not only will Mr.. Bryan be
the nominee of the Denver convention,
but that the platform will contain all the
populists desire. Why oppose one's
friends even when they are operating
under a different party name?
This latter faction is led by Thomas E.
Watson. and obtains its strength from his
leadership. Mr.. Watson finds 1t easy to
fiirt with democrats on both state and
national issues. He helped elect Hoke
Smith Governor of Georgia, and he was
one of the two tails TO the Bryan kite in
ISoo.
The course of the independence League
is probiematical except that whatever
Mr. Hearst desires will probably be done.
The league is his, and he made 1t, and

The Charge Against Morse

The apparent fight and sudden home
ward start of Charles W. Morse, former
''ice trust king and manipulato- of a
chain of banks in New York. are followed
with sensational suddenness by his in
dictment for grand larceny. it being al
legged that he purloined. by trick. the
sum of 100000 from a former justice of
the state courts. Grand larceny has a
vulgar sound in the case of a man who
has dealt in millions. We are more o.
less accustomed to hear of big operators
charged with fraud and conspiracy and
even embezzlement. But larceny suggests
the police court. 1t is synonymous with
plain, everyday stealing
When the circumstances set forth in ex-
PLANTATION of the accusation against Morse
are examined it would appear that he
sold the former jurist certain bank stock
with the agreement to take it back if
after time the new holder could not
sell il elsewhere for a profit and no long
er wished to carry it. The notes given
in payment for the stock were not to be
discounted. One of them. at least. was
Endorsed. however. Notwithstan ding the
alleged agreement Morse did bank one

in the name of the maker of the note.
which he Endorsed as per himself. 1t
was Morse who secured the money. and
later it was the ex-jurist who paid the
note Now Morse is to stand trial on his
return and he will probably seek to show
that there was no agreement, that 1t
was genuine commercial paper. honestly
discounted and properly indo-sed.

Hearst is anti-Bryan. although there are

While prohibition has made amazing
gains in the past few years. the prohibit
ton party as a political organization Is
not to be accredited with them. Georgia
and Mississippi are no less democratic
because the former is now enforcing a
prohibition law, and the latter will begin
doing SO January next. Elsewhere DEM
ocrats and republicans have united in
the temperance cause. and jointly have
won battles. 1t does not appear to mat
ter much, therefore. what the prohibition
party may do at Columbus after the two
leading parties have made their nomina-
tons. although both at Chicago and at
Denver the temperance people will strive
to make an impression on the platform

Oklahoma Democracy.

Oh, democracy, what laws are enacted
in thy name! This is from Guthrie. Okla:
THE house of representatives today
passed "a sweeping measure regulating
hotels.
THE measure provides that every hotel
shall provide nine-foot sheets, and shall
use no cup. dish, vessel or receptacle
for food that has cracks visible to the
naked eye -
Oklahoma is the latest of the American
states. and Mr.. Bryan considers that it is
organized upon model lines. He praises
its constitution as the best thing of the
kind vet constructed. Some of the men
who made the constitution are now max
ing laws under it. and this is a sample.
How much further are they prepared to
GO in the same direction? If much further
they would do we'll to consider the length
of a winding sheet, for little more legis-
lating of this kind and the democracy

RumorS.

Wall street should be put on diet of
celery and fish. 1t is shy on brains and
it's nerves are frazzled One of the
reasons assigned for the drop in stock
quotations yesterday was that a fight be-
was imminent Just laugh at this. clip
ped from a New York newspaper:
Wall street yesterday was full of wild
rumors circulated by the bears. Early
in the day a story was put out that war
would be declared between Japan and the
United States on Friday and that the
President had sent messages to the gov
full information as TO the number of men
they could put into the field, fully equip
ped. within thirty days.
According to this yarn. the Japanese
fleet had been sighted off Chile where
it was lying in wait for Rear Admiral
Evans and his battleships. This wild
story actually found some believers
among the creduous. There was rush
to sci! stocks and prices tumbled through
out the list. Breaks in some instances
averaged from to points. and while
there was a recovery at the close the
market was wabbly throughout the after
noon.'
1t is only fair TO the timorous invest
ors'' of Wall street to admit that all
fool rumors are not invented there. The
following dispatch from Toxic appears in
the Manila Times of recent date:
THE populace of Seoul is much excited
by the circulation of the rumor on the
part of the anti-Japanese agitators that
America is sending out great battleshir
squadron to oriental waters for the pur-
pose of freeing Korea from japanese
domination
These oriental rumor-mongers would
probably be successful bear operators
tsometimes) if they should go to New
York. Failing in that. they could try
carrot-colored journalism.

Early Birds and Booms.

A convention held in February, 1892.
to instruct the New York delegates to
the democratic national convention was
called the snap" convention. David B.
Hill was the choice of his party for
President, and the purpose was to boom
him The purpose failed. Mr.. Hills
| enemies rang such changes on the word
snap" that his candidacy was prejudiced
in other states. and when the time for
nomination came he had but small sup
port away from home. Mr.. Cleveland
was an easy winner.
And yet what New York said in Feb
ruary she repeated at the national con-
vention the next summer There had
been no SNAP no taking anybody I'M
awares. Mr.. Hill was her choice. and no
other. At no time between February and
midsummer could Mr.. Cleveland have Sc
cured instructions After the nomina-
ton. New York. of course, fell in line,
ami at the polls gave Mr.. Cleveland a
ma jority. That ended Mr.. Hills hopes
of reaching the White House.
Things have changed. February is not
too early now for presidential instruc-
tons Several district conventions have
already instructed their delegates. Two
republican state conventions, in Florida
and Missouri. are scheduled for this
month. and more than a score of district
conventions. Five states will instruct in
March. and as many more in April So
that by the time the first birds are out
fairly accurate forecasts can be made of
wha. at the start the Chicago convention
will look like
The man, therefore. who should talk
about snap convention now, meaning
merely the time of year. would be laughed
at. 1t is the period of the early bird.
Delegates are ready to be caught. Every
body is awake and stirring. Boon1s have
been under discussion for months, and
boomers buster than the public generally
has been advised What was David Il.
Hills poison has come to be the meat of
half a dozen ambitious republican lead
ers.
It is just as we'll. Our politics-especial-
ly our presidential politics-has come to
be continuous performance. There is
no closed season. Some people appear
to be in doubt about Mr.. Bryan, and ask.
as with an air of innocence. is he really q
candidate? AS matter of fact, he has
been candidate ever since the night
which closed over the comic fortunes OF
Judge Parker, and left the democratic
party no choice but between Mr. Bryan
and complete disruption. If at this day
there could be snap candidate, Mr..
Bryan would be the man.

Chairman Lloyd.

If New York had presented candidate
Of national proportions she would prob
ably have secured the Craftsmanship or
the democratic congressional committee.
This is not to speak in disparagement
either of Mr. Ryan. who was defeated.
or of Mr.. Lloyd, who was victorious.
Both have served several terms in the
House. and are good men. But Mr.. Ry-
ans part in affairs has been modest, and
his claim to consideration rested too
largely on geographical lines.
The argument was in favor of north
ern man. Outside of Maryland, Missouri
and Kentucky. where the republicans are
we'll organized and we'll led. the democrats
are little troubled by contests in the
southern states. Two districts in Ten
nessee and one in Virginia afford fighting
ground but everywhere else the demo-
cratic label carries the day. AS many
saw the matter, therefore. the thing to
do was to put the campaign into the
hands of a man familiar with the terri
tory where the democrats must find votes.
A party manager of the grade of David
3. Hill or the late Abram S. Hewitt. If
presented as a candidate for the chair
manship. would easily have been chosen.
and such a choice would greatly have
heartened the democrats. But men of that
grade have disappeared from the democ-
racy's national official life. Byanism has
1hinned them out. increasing the republic
can membership in both the House and
Senate north of Mason and Dixon's line,
and leaving only a democrat here and
there to hold an impregnable fort.
Mr.. Lloyd has some knowledge of the
work that will devolve upon him. and
should exert himself with the greater
zeal for realizing that his own state Will
profit much from a democratic triumph.
A democratic House will mean a Mis-
sourian. Mr.. Clark, for Speaker. and an
other Missourian. Mr. De Almond, for
chairman of ways and means. And Mr..
Lloyd himself should inherit something
handsome i'm such a case. either in the
House or elsewhere. Why should not MIR.
Bryan. should he go into the White
House on tidal wave bringing in a
democratic House, do a good part by Mr..
general consent would rank high?
Mr.. Sherman, the republican command
er-in-chief is familiar with his duties,
and will open the battle with a confidence
born of past successes. The situation.
however, is new, and there will be much
for even a veteran to learn. There is
much unrest, and should it increase. either
as the result of fresh financial complca-
tions. or an unsatisfactory nomination
and platform at Chicago. the republican
task might become exceedingly difficult.
