Mr. Wanamaker is evi- dently getting ready to accept an offics under the next Republican ad- ministration.—Post-Dispatch. Populists and republicans have gone into a fusion in Alabama for the state campaign. They did the samething in Mississippi a short time ago and the returns from the state election show the combination was defeated by 50,000 majority. The fusion even failed to carry a ., single county in the state. Chairman Carter, of the nationfa f blican committee, is offering to igfection off the place of meeting for Mf the convention in 1896, to the high- est bidder. Chicago, Pittsburg and | + San Francisco are the bidders and 54,000 is asked by the chairman as the price to secure the big conven- ¢ on. he customs receipts at this port or the month of October were $9,- 299,377. This $1,000,000 increase over last year, $1,700,000 more than in October, 1898, under the McKin Igy tariff.

Washington, Nov. 14.—An Asso- ciated Press cablegram announcing he intention of the Russian govern- ment to coin next year 100,009,000 roubles in gold and 25,000,000 in ilver in addition to subsidiary coin- age has created considerable interest among financiers.

Then it was circulated cCullagh and the boss had de friends and that the big editor gsto be made senator. Cul. Mc Nallagh put a stop to the report by saying that such a thought had nev- grentered his head and that he \would rather be the editor of a spantry newspaper than hold the oU. S. Senator. nat som) ali ‘To meet the deficiency in the gov- ernment revenues the leaders of the republican party are clamoring to > put back the McKinley tariff on wool ' and lumber. As a tariff on these ar . ticles effects directly the farmer and F Jahoring people, why not raise the eles by putting an additional tax ofa dollar a barrel on beer. The statistics published recently by the| Brewers Journal show that the total Consumption of beer for the year ding June 30 last reached 33,469, barrels an increase of 191,000 @xels over last year.

Francis Schlatter, the mysterious healer, who has been operating in Denver, healing thousands of people afflicted with all manner of diseases by simply touching them with his hand, has disappeared and no one knows his hiding place, editorially the Kansas City Times has this to say of this wonderful man. ‘There must have been something more than imagination in Schlatter’s cures. Too many skeptical persons came to laugh and remained to pray,to mary many despairing invalids rose up and walked at his simple touch, too hard-headed business men bore witness to his miraculous pow ers to allow his claims or powers to be dismissed with flippant jest.

The convention which framed the present constitution of the United States was called to amend the articles of confederation, but Madison and his colleagues con- cluded that they had the power to make an entirely new constitution beeause they represented the sover- eiguty of the people. In 1860 we had a striking example of the elestic- | ity of the power of conventions in our own state.

(I quote from memory, but this is the sub stance). Under the act the conven- tion ab lished the existing state gov- : and established the Gamble government, and if any voter in the state ever dreamed of conferring aud ermine: hundred of its employes, who were afflicted in various ways, to go to him and be cured. The business men of Omaha sent a committee of prominent citizens to beg him to come to Omaha. And they came home yery exultant over his promise to come.” Two years ago the populists in Mississippi elected 25 members of the legislature. This year they run a straight tichet axd with the assist: ance of the republican party who made no nominations, failed to carry asingle county in the state. Yet with such convincing evidence of the passing away of thefpopulist party, such fellows as Atkeson hang on and swear the party is all right. When democrats and republeans get beat they accept thesituation but popu- list editors never do.

Black’s brother Jim worked for Ber- tie’s father and helped the girl get Bertie’s brothers met Jim returning from the Ohio side of the river last night and shot him dead. The brothers are still in pursuit of the couple, swearing they will kill Marshall Black on sight. away. The total vote of Pennsylvania gives an explanation of the Republi- ean plurality of 175,000. Compared with 1892 the Democratic stay-at- homes number 170,000 this year. The Republican vote, se far from in- creasing, is 60,000 behind that of 1892. Compared even with last year the Democrats fall behind 118,000 and the Republicans 50,000. Con sidering the ascendancy of Boss Quay in their party it is much to the discredit of the Republicans of Penn- sylvania that they permitted the Democrats so greatly to surpass | them in disgust and apathy.—N. Y. | World. | Andy Hackett. in his little Popus such power, I never heard of him. But I do not propose to discuss the power of the Pertle Springs conven- tion. It was regularly calied, and added 1 new members to the state committee. Whether it did right or wrong is not now the question, but the real issue is whether we will go wrangling over personal hatreds and ultra vires until the state passes into the hands of Mr. Filley for am indefinite period. * =» * * Now I would like to know who is to be reformed and from what is the party to be protected by this disgraceful squabble in this state committee? The extremists ought to be muzzled and the whole com mittee, including the committeemen selected at Pertle Springs, called together and a reasonable and fair compromise can then be effected. If this is not done then another con vention should be called to settle the matter in dispute. The lunatics should not be permitted to turn the state over to the men who plundered and persecuted from 1563 to 1870. “The majority of the party must govern in nation and state. Iam a silver man and haye always been one but there are other issues besides silver upon which I am a democrat. I believe in the doctrines of Jefferson a strict construction of the constitu tion, equality in all the benefits of government, taxation in proportion to the protection given the citizens, and no centralization of power. I shall fight for silver inside the party and if a majority decides against me I will remain a democrat and centin- ue the struggle for the doctrines of Jefferson.

There will be a deficit of probably $30,000,000 in the national treasury on the first of January, the end of the year since the new tariff law went into full effect.
