It produces an emoticnal condition which erables leaders to delude not merely their hearers, but themselves, into the belief that they can vote themselves Into afflu- ence. When the cycle of events brings a promise of presperity again, it bursts from a wholly unexpected quarter. While the ccuntry is turning the leaves of pamphlets on monetary science in an appeal for guld- érece or gazing at the custom houses in the hepe of summary relief, aid comes in the shape of an enormous demand for wheat from Asia, Europe and South America. Soil and climate assert themselves as su- preme dictators. Thrift and industry are rot enough to insure success in any field of endeavor. They must be combined with the patience to wait for an opportunity and judgment to make the most of the chances when they appear. The rural voter has pondered laboriously in his effort to choose the partisan shell which covered the “little joker” of prosperity, and he turns away to find that if prospe! exists at all for him, it is in his own bar. that no ameunt of th ig will enable him to avoid the necessity of investing his labor and that the results of this investment, ke those of uny other, must depend on conditions which he could not predict and with which the government has little or no concern. —_—- + «+ —__ Populists Keeping to Themselves, Apparently, there will be no co-operation between the silver democrats and the pop- is in this year’s campaigns.

District Appointments. There are some expressions of doubt as to whether the District of Columbia is to en- Joy the services of Mr. Haskel of Ohio in the sealer of weights and meas- sted that his po- ational in its char- arded with an of- quence. If the position alec of weights and litical usefulness was acter and ought to ve ice of national ¢ had been that of measures for the United States, with the control of a large corps of subordinates, and an extensive fieid for the collection of fees, there could be no doubt as to what Mr. Haskel would do. But a frank, outspoken repudiation of so slight a tribute would claim thé 8ympathy and applause of every citizen of the District who has observed the effort of politictans to put eminent and zealous patriots off with minor appoint- ments. Great as the loss of the services of Mr. Haskel as sealer of weights and meas- ures might be, it would be better for us to get along with a man whose experience and acquaintance are confined to this com- ure imported talent how- boast of this and thus advertise them- | €Ver brilliant by means of disingenuous rep- Cannot reached in some ves. they ss way before they have had time to carry out their purpose?

To this end he has just started in London the publi- cation of a monthly paper or magazine, called “The Anglo-Russian.” It looks for- ward to the time “When the War Drum throbs no longer and the Battle Flags are furled in the Parliament of Man, the Fed- the World.” This somewhat ambitious object he seems to regard as certain of accomplishment if the Russians and the English can be persuaded that their best interests lie in the direction of @ pact of perpetual peace between them, the theory being, that if these two nations will but come to such an understanding, the force of their example will bring all irg taxes is obvious and immutabie, and | other countries to the same basis.

Thai injusticés are com-} the Russians into antagonistic camps, sus- Picious of one another, to the detriment of their mutual interests, and the interests of the world at large.” Mr. Prelooker is disposed to cast discredit upon the popu- Jar notion that Russia seeks teritorial ex- pansion, and he points out that she al- ready has more land than she can well occupy, arguing that any man possessing a comfortable bed would decline the offer of half a dozen more beds for his personal use. It is to be feared that Mr. Prelooker is a trifle too sanguine. He has applied too ethical a standard to the Russian and English nations as a whole. But the pres- ent project is altogether worthy of com- mendation and support, however futile it may appear in the abstract. There is no concealing the general fear that the selfish interests of England and Russia are yearly becoming more and more divergent and that ultimately, unless some now unseen force is applied to alter the situation, this divergence will precipitate the great war that Europe has been dreading for several seasons. ———~+o—____ The Kansas Populists declare that free silver is not enough to serve as a national issue. They propose as a preliminary re- ferm to abolish the federal courts.

Oh, where are the men who once blithely assembled, Whose resonant voices were sweet with the truth; Who lectured the world till the atmosphere trembled And held the attention of old age and youth?

But most of them haven’t been visible late- ly, ‘Though we hear now and then of their doings elsewhere.

From the New York Tribune. Many persons must have recognized the sinister import of the dispatch announcing that the murder of the Spanish prime min- ister had been promptly followed by the expulsion from France of two anarchists, one of whom was on his way to the United States, and that all the governments of Europe had resolved on decisive measures to diminish the number of sworn enemies of order and civilization within their bor- ders. It is quite natural that they should take this course, but it would be foolish and disereditable on our part to receive with composure the news of a prospective inva- sion by these malignant scoundrels and acopt no precautions to prevent it. Sensible ciMzens everywhere will be glad to hear that the public autherities are not indif- ferent to this matter, but are already pre- paring to shut arriving anarchists out of the country, so far as the law can be availed of to exclude them. The commissioner gen- eral cf immigration has asked American consuls in Europe to keep a close watch upon their movements, and to inform him of every Geparture for this country. A large measure of success in bis endeavor te avert the threatened infliction would more than reconcile most of Mr. Powder- ly’s opponents to kis appointment. ————_~+ + +__ ‘Taxing Returned Travelers. From the Springfield Republican. No feature of the new law can be more popular with the mass of the people than this one, comparatively unimportant as it may be as a revenue raiser or as a pro- tective barrier for local industries. There is no justice in allowing to people rich enough to go abroad exemptions from tax- ation which are not conceded to people who have to stay at home.
