There is no doubt that the Chi-
cago democracy in national con-
vention assembled will declare for
free silver but what will they do
with their white elephant when
they get him? They will And that

Culberson is the sort of a demo-
cratic politician who flourishes in
Texas; be is all things to all men
in order to get all things for
Charles. He is no more to be re-
lied upon tn matters of politics
than it takes to convince him that
the most votes He the other way.
He has a splendid political diges-
tion and can bolt a platform that
he is running on equal to any who
ever faced the music of a conven-
tion and accepted a nomination
upon the platform that it had
framed. What he thinks of plat-
forms is readily seen by his action
two years ago. He evidently
thinks that they are made of
planks to be burned in making
Steam under his own boiler.
PERNICIOUS CHANGE.
There is perceptible a steadily
growing sentiment in favor of
elections of senators directly by
the people but this is not half as
necessary as that elections should
be for much longer terms of office.
As at present with a recurring
presidential election every four
years in which may be involved
an entire change in the industrial
policy of the nation there is no
fixedness of Industrial life possible.
No rest for the sole of the foot of
the home producer. It Is not
possible that prosperity can
attend any industry under
such conditions. This hurrying
from one policy to another as the
change is made from one adminis-
tration to another is ruinous. It fs
demoralizing to trade politics so-
ciety and legislation. It imposes
fearful expenses upon the people
and unsettles all the machinery of
public and private life. There is
no good arises from it and it
should cease. A ten year presi-
dential term of office is none too
long. Senators should be chosen
for eight years and representatives
for six and none of these should
be eligible to succeed themselves
in office. Do this and correspond-
ingly protract the term of state
office and remove the judiciary
from all possible political Influ-
ences and there will be a decided
change for the better every way.
The common sense of the average
business man revolts against
this succession of changes
following so closely on the
heels of former changes that
there is no chance for business
to recover itself. Congress should
Interpose in the mean time by com-
mon consent if in no other way
and prevent any tariff revision for
a certain term of years making
the established schedules of what-
ever character stand for at least
ten years. Eternal change is the
eternal curse of the political ma-
chinery and movement of these
United States and it is time that
the wisdom of the business circles
united to defeat a practice that is
only perpetuated through the self
interest of the politicians.
The latest in the way of preven-
tion of danger from cyclones is to
arrange stations from which to
shoot bombs into the critter as be
advances and so break up the gyrat-
ing cuss as to render it harmless.
This beats the old idea “shoot the
hat” all to pieces. They “shoot”
oil wells to render them profitable
and shoot cyclones to render them
innocuous. Great science.
There is a little soreness under
Speaker Reed’s shirt collar on ac
count of Manley’s manly confes-
sion that it was a McKinley walk
over. Reed will feel better when
it quits hurting. He is just the
same large hearted big brained
Tom Reed that he was before he
fired and missed.
Coming events no doubt cast
their shadows before but no one
can read the dispatches that multi-
ply on pages of the the daily press
from St. Louis without seeing to
what a great extent they are mere
padding if not manufactured in
the home offices a thousand miles
from the convention city. There
is nothing for it but patience and
a wise confidence in the patriotism
of those St. Louis delegates to do
and devise the best possible for
' the country.
This week is the most mo n-
tous one in the history of the re-
publican party that it has seen
for several years. It is not so
much who is to be nominated as
what policies shall dominate
This week will show weather bard
iron policies of finance are to gov-
ern in conformity to the dicta of
foreign financiers or whether the
elasticity of feeling and movement
that govern in other things in
United States is to govern
her finances also. Upon the de-
cision of a policy will depend the
weakness or the strength of the
party before the masses of voters.
With only 400 seats reserved for
the representatives of the press
and 2500 applications for them it
would seem as though there would
be a very great disproportion be-
tween supply and demand in the
Chicago convention. Perhaps
those 400 will be able to tell the
country ail that it is anxious to
know about the proceedings.
Someone has certainly blundered.
Quay has again showed himself
the eel of American politics. He
has wiggled out of one of the most
uncomfortable possible positions
and wriggled into a commanding
place in the convention. A place
sufficiently commanding as in
large measure to command the
approaches to the second place on
the ticket. It requires a man of
no small brains as well as great
fertility of resource to accomplish
a feat like this in the face of the
conditions handicapping him.
If the republicans in session in
St. Louis take proper care of the
interests of the people a grateful
and appreciative people will take
care of the people at the polls.
There is no doubt of this. The
trouble with the politicians as a
rule Is that they are afraid to
trust the people and this arises
largely from the fact that the
policies of the great political
parties are not such as beet con-
serve the interests of the people.
Like engenders like always.
All that is definitely known con-
cerning the St. Louis convention is
that it will nominate McKinley
but what its financial platform
will be is not so certain. All that
is known positively concerning the
Chicago convention is that it will
pronounce for free silver but what
its action on tariff will be or whom
it will nominate is not even open
to conjecture as yet.
There is not the least danger
that Dr. Jamison will be as justly
dealt with in London as his vic-
tims were in Pretoria. Had he stood
his trial in the capital of the Trans-
vaal he might not fare so well
but Kruger is after the head of the
conspiracy Rhodes and if he had
his hands on him there would be
one less possible disturber of the
peace of the Transvaal remaining.
There is an uncertainty hanging
over the business of the country
that will not grow any less nntll
the fight of this political year Is
fought out and the results assured.
Capital is not secure labor is un-
easy production is at a stand still
largely and the whole condition is
one of suspense. Not until the in-
dustries of the country know what
is before them in the way of na-
tional policies will there be any
change. When it comes it cannot
well be for the worse. The terri-
ble mistakes of the past three
years have paralyzed all business
and discouraged all industrial
movement. That it 1s local is
shown by the conditions elsewhere
existing.
Well the rain has come in some
sections but there are other sec-
tions of this southwest that mourn
for rain as a Platt politician
mourns for the defeat of McKinley
in the halls of convention. The
rain is expected some day and Mc-
Kinley’s nomination some earlier
day.
There is not a doubt that there
is a determined effort to put a
plank in tho platform that is to be
adopted at St. Louis that will not
be acceptable to Mr. McKinley.
And it is just as certain that Platt
is engineering the move also that
William of Ohio is kept well
posted.
Bradley is the uncertain quan-
tity in the equation of republican

politics at St. Louis. He is not yet
certain whether he will run for
president or not. He will find out
after the first call of the roll on
candidates is made. He will say
with the epitaph of the little baby.
“If I so soon was done for I wonder
what I was begun for?” Bradley
must answer bis own conundrums.
The cry is in certain quarters for
radical utterances on finances and
moderate declaratious on tariff. It
would suit the country a great
deal better to have the moderation
in the financial plank and put all
the radical vigor possible into the
tariff plank. Tariff goes again.
Quay seems to be the only man
who has the courage and the skill
to put a hook in Me Too’s nostrils
and hold him in bounds. Better
let him go with rope enough to
hang himself with politically. .
