What Stalks Behind. x-Senator John B. Henderson in his ech at Wilmington last night did well recalling the real purport of populism; at it stands for, and what in the event its gaining ascendency in public affairs policies would lead to. Populism is trying to make of silver an tering wedge. It cares nothing about le white metal per se. It laughs in its Peve at the talk about joney of redemp- bn.” The only “money” that populism puld ave is flat money. A dollar worth ly fifty three cents is too dear a dollar the middle-of-the-road statesman. Give mn power and the only “money” left in culation would be government paper un- fotected by either of the two money tals. He takes up the silver cry be- luse that promises him an opening. If can only get a start he fancies himseif le te put through his whole governmental jogram. Populism, it is to be recalled, was under leat restraint in convention at St. Louis. saw the necessity ef hiding its mé@st omirent features. It was trying only to irve Mr. Bryan. As much as would help na it was willing to declare. Anything at might be used by the opposition to ider him it was willing to conceal and en to deny. Its comprehensive scheme governmental ownership of everything, erefore, was kept in the background, and platform written upon which Mr. Bryan jght hcpe to stand, without provoking p much protest from his democratic sup- ers. put populism abandoned nothing. It held to all of its tenets, and it is holding on them still. It awaits only an oppor- ity to move to carry out everything promised in its own name in tne wildest irium of the Ocala period. hat populism fully trusts Mr. Bryan plain enough. It may hold some of his ocratic advisers rather anxiously under strong glass, but it O. K.’s him at a ince. And why not? He has voted for ir candidates, has praised them and now epts their nomination for President. i more, he is making a canvass which direct assaults on property interests p vested rights throws into the shade vass made by Gen. Weaver four rs ago. Like all new converts, he is ling the veterans of the cause points in matter of zeal. Ihe defeat of Mr. Bryan, therefore, is rable on more sceres than that of mere- ‘isposing of the silver question. It will pn a check te schemes which in their analysis would. if inaugurated, intro- ye chaos again through the medium of fiscation ard the obliteration of all in- iduality in business endeavor. ——_+ «+_____ ‘0 Interpret the Highway Act. the United States pvorable action by reme Court on the motion to advance District highway cases now on the et would assure a speedy hearing and sion of important matters affecting y local interests. It is desirable that legal complications now preventing the prcement of the highway act should be led beyond dispute before the close of coming se: m of Congress, in order some me: res may be taken for ‘ying out the provisions of the act, if jubstance it should be sustained, or for mendment if the Commissioners should to secure a favorable decision upon vital peints from the ultimate tribunal. court was informed of five weighty ons why the law should promptly re- fe a final interpretation. First of all, lands embraced in the plans for street msion are subject to steady advances alue, tending to add to the ultimate of condemnation. Then the public ith is jeopardized by the lack of sewers, eonstruction of which cannot be begun i the lines of projected streets are H. Nor can there be any further sub- Bion of land in the suburbs except at t risk of !oss and almost incurable con- pn, in the present uncertain state of igs. Highways already in existence but of grade cannot be regulated in the mee of fixed levels and thus the entire prban region covered by the maps is ted by the uncertainties as to the jre growing out of the litigation now aching a last test. These are the ons actuating the Commissioners in plea for an early decision. On the hand the property owners are equal- xious for a hearing, inasmuch as un- present conditicrs they cannot market land or realize upon it in any way. bud rests upon the titles throughout tne ted region and no man will buy prop- is subject to the impending condemna- Therefore, it is the general desire parties to the controversy to have ttlement reached at once, and if the me Court will set an early day for THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1896-SIXTEEN PAGEn. and free silver as an issue may be removed from the arena of acttve contention. It is everything to Mr. Bryan to hold fast to the silver issue. Without it, he could prefer no claim to further leadership. With it, he could still hope to keep the middle of the stage. He is a born agitator, and has carefully cultivated his natural talents. There is every reason to believe that his own calculations agree with those of his more intimate friends, and that he is play- ing his game in the hope of coming near enough to the mark, if he cannot win, to save a second throw for the presidential stakes. The republican managers believe this, and their belief explains the strenuous ef- forts they still are making in a campaign which they consider virtually as already won. Mr. Quay has of course spoken for all of his associates, and yet, feeling con- fident of success as they do, they are as hard at work as they have at any time been since the campaign began. They not only want to win, but they see the im- portance of winning by the largest major- ity they can possibly secure. They want to settle the silver question and retire Mr. Bryan at one and the same time. The latest effort on the part of the Alex- andria county citizens to rout the gamblers and their like failed because of the insuf- ficiency of the aid rendered by the local authorities, and because of a tampering with witnesses, and now the dens are about to be re-opened, it is said, without any pre- tense of concealment. Success has em- boldened the gamblers, and they feel as- sured of immunity from the weak arm of the law. Both of the cities bounding the infected area will necessarily feel the effect of the proximity of this moral plague which seems so difficult of checking. Alex- andria is even now suffering from the work of the fire bug and the th.ef who robs under cover of the excitement caused by a confla- gration. Washington may escape from such an experience, but there is no guaran- tee of public safety while colonies of des- Peradoes are permitted to thrive at her decors. The real burden of the campaign against this evil rests upon the citizens of the county, whose zeal is only limited by their lack of means. They are, as a rule, men of small incomes, who are striving to pay for their homes, and they well deserve the financial as well as the moral aid of the people of both cities in this cause. It costs in money as well as in energy to conduct such a crusade. The Alexandria county citizens have made no formal appeal for this sort of assistance, but they hope for contributions. The business men of Wash- ington, realizing the threat against the public peace and security involved in the continued existence of the Jackson City and Reslyn resorts, have aided the movement of the people over the river, and will be wise if they continue to co-operate in the crusade. —s+e—___ Bryan is reported to have made a deal with Pingree for the Michigan electoral vote He doubtless expects the Detroit mayor to prove himself quite as well versed in politics as he is In potatoes. ——_- «+ __.
