Obstacles to Sound Money telon.
Those who, like Mr. Whitney, have been
laboring for a union of the sound money
forces of the two old parties for effect In
this campaign find the tariff the principal
obstacle in the way of success. Sound
money democrats ai very much pleased
with Mr. McKinley's interpretation of the
financial plank of the St. Louis platform.
His views are identical with their own on
the subject of protecting the credit of the
government. Personally, also, they have a
high regard for the man. They like his
poise, his dignity, his fine character as a
citizen. But they object to his views bn
the tariff, and they express a fear of com
mitting themselves in some way on that
subject if they openly assist in republican
succe In November. At the same time
they will not support Mr. Bryan, believing.
as they do. that free coinage of silver
would work ruin to the country.
Thess men express themselves as anxious
to get around the difficulty if it can fairly
be done. They do not expect Mr. McKin
ley to abandon his position on the tariff.
nor do they intend to abandon their own.
Many of them believe that a union of
sound money strength is necessary to over
come the silver movement, and hence, all
things considered. they are in an anxious
frame of mind.
Among the propositions lately submitted
to effect this union of strength Is this:
Let it be understood that the first and
most distmctive work to be transacted by
the Fifty-fifth Congress in case the sound
n:cney men are in majority in the House
shall relate to the financial question. No
particulars are offered, but it is assumed
that as such men will have principally in
view the shielding of the coun"ry from free
silver as an independent act by this gov
ernment they will be able to agree upon
a measure. Then let that measure peas.
Let the tariff be taken up only to the ex
tent of providing for the deficiency, which
both sides agree is created by the present
tariff law. due regard being had for the
radical difference that exists between the
sound money allies as to the fundamental
principles of taxation. This. it is insisted,
will put matters on an easy basis and re
store confidence: and for such an end, It
is suggested, a union of men who differ
widely on the general principles of eco
nomics can be brought about.
As for the tariff proper-for such a re
vision of the present law as the protec
tionists insist is necessary for the pros
perity of the country-let that question be
made the ba, is of the congressional cam
paIgns of 18. Let the Fifty-sixth House
be chosen on that issue. The sound money
alliance having accomplished its purpose
and been dissolved, sound money protec
tionists can now put forward their candi
dates and sound money low-tariff men
their candidates, with the tariff as the only
issue.
The republican leaders are chary about
discussing this proposition. They want
all the sound money democratic strength
they can get. They realise that they will
need a good deal. But the fact confronts
them that, according to their claim, the
financial question grows out of the tariff
question; that no difficulty with the coun
try was developed until a President and a
t'ongress pledged to free trade were
elected, and the revenues of the govern
ment were reduced to the point of a deficit;
and that the surest and promptest way
back to ;ne old satisfactory order of things
is by a return to the policy of high pro
tection.
Still, the campaign is very young yet.
and the full measure of all the dangers
has not been taken. Where so much
necessity for unIon exists, union* in the
end, may be effect.d. If no more la asked
by sound money democrats than the con
cession which the Chicago anti-protection
platform makes to its protection allies,
namely, the postponement of tariff ques
tions, except that involved in meetina
the revenue deficiency, until after tie
fir-ancial question is settled, a reasonablj
effective union of the sound money men on
this basis ought to be possible. The re
publicans will doubtless give careful con
siderationi to Mr. Whitney's warning. If
they were ali equally positive that the
runinzg of a sound money democratic
presidential ticket ls less desirable than
attemptedi fusion on the suggested b~asis
they would quickly offer concessions. But
there is still a difference of opInion on
this point.
While no definite announcement on the
subject has been made, from sentiments
which Mrs. Lease has expressed it is safi
to predict that Mr. Lease will vote foi
Bryan.
The politicians now at St. Louis are si
ardent in their dislike of Wall street tha
they refuse even to be business-like In thel
methods of holding a convention.
In is intimated that some of the populist
may discover that "the middle of the road'
leads or-ly to the center of the soup.
Pontical Embarrasments.
The embarrassments attending the Ci
cago platform are rapidly being developed
The original complaint In siver circles wni
that existing governmental woes weri
nearly all to be ascribed to the demoneti
zation of silver, and the original propositior
was that the silver men ofell parties, put
ting other things temporarily behind them
should get together and set silver on its
feet again. A platform on this line wai
what in many quarters was expected of the
Chicago convention. But another line wai
followed-a lne so zigzagged that it be
wiiders and alarms some people-and the re
sult is confusions and divisions among sal
ver men.
The case of Mr. Bailey of Texas Wlustrate
the dii. culty in one quarter. He is a demo
crat-beieves in a iew tatriff anri s -hat
He advocates free coinage, and so strongl:1
that he was wilin that that be miade th
1msm -this yeat. He went to Chicngo as
delegate to help bring that about. He spoka
and worked for that. But that policy failed
So many things were put into the platferm
r which asr- Ban.., does -no- a -rv th
he announces his retirement fre public
fife. If the democracy should- win on the
platform adopted he. if a member of the
next Congress. would have to antagonise
it in oiposing the legislation 'that would be
brought forward to make its promises
good. Therefore, Mr. Dailey will not stand
for re-election. He drops out, and will I
await developments.
The case of senator Don Cameron ilus
trates the difliculty in another quarter. Mr.
Cameron Is a friend of silver-so very warm
a friend as to have sacrificed himself, many
believe, to the white metal. He is going out
of public life largely as the result of going
counter to the views of his constituents on
the money question. He was on. the list of
those anxious for a straightout silver de
liverance at Chicago, and partly pledged to
support a ticket so nominated. It is an
nounced now that Mr. Cameron cannot sup
port the Chicago platform. It is too ex
treme for him. He is still for silver, but
the things with which silver has now been
allied are repugnant to him, and he will *
support Mr. McKinley.
The case of Mr. Teller Is peculiar. He
Is a republican In everything but his ad
herence to the cause of silver. The St. Louis
platform Is not objectionable to him in any
line except as it treats of the money ques- *
tion. and it is regarded as a safe statement
that, except in its declaration for free coin
age, the Chicago platform is not acceptable
to him in any line. But Mr. Teller expected *
to be nominated at Chicago. The "pins"
were set up with that end in view. His
friends worked hard to accomplish such a
result. The scheme failed, but all the same
Mr. Teller is committed. He feels himself
obliged to support Mr. Bryan. To reject the
nomination would subject him to the ac
cusation of acting from influences of per
sonal disappointment.
But are other western silver republicans
in sympathy inith the full democratic plat
ferm? Will they unreservedly accept the
populistic features of It ,and support it
unanimrIsly and heartily at the polls? The
reported intention of Senator Cannon of
Utah. who bolted at St. Louis, to return
to the republican party, may suggest the
doubt and hesitation which prevail on this
point In the average silver republican, and a
the feeling that too much may be sacri
fieced in the desire to gain silver free coin
age will undoubtedly be strengthened by 4
the pop-alistic endorsement of Bryan at St.
Louis. and the addition through the plat
form there adopted of other populistic plans
and princples to those which the Chicago
nominee already represebis.
The lesson taught Is that in the case of
coalitions it is not true that the whole Is
equal to the sum of all the parts. The sil- 4
ver coalition, if fusion of its various ele
ments were perfect, would be invincible;
but that fusion is not and cannot be per
fect.
-s
A remarkable communication is that
which came from St. Petersburg today,
and which appears elsewhere in The Star.
Truth is always stralger than fiction, but
the particular scrap of fiction to which the
writer of the communication refers with
disapproval appears to have possessed so
much of the similitude of trutih that an in
telligent reader finds It necessary to send
us a contradiction. The uncommon Inci
dent testifies to the fact that even in far
away Russia-in such a center as St. Pe
tersburg-The Star is eagerly and com
pletely devoured by minds hungry for good a
reading-matter.
Respectable people cannot help feeling a
gratified at the fact that the two sluggers a
who were refused the privilege of fighting 4
in Virginia a few nights since are still en- )
gaged, and unsuccessfully, in trying to find a
some spot in this vicinity where the hold
Ing of a financially-successful prize fight
is possible. Washington Is rapidly becom
lr.g the most desirable place of residence,
in every respect, on all this continent.
The sergear t-at-arms of the populist con- a
vention Is still Indignantly searching for *
the conspirator who blew out the electric
lights.
It was to be expected that the critics
would discover that a good deal of our
campaign "chin-music" Is "reminiscent."
. _
At present the populists appear to have
one eye on political principles and the other
on political pie.

"Senator Sorghum isn't doing much in 4

Ator.
"No," replied the constituent.4
"FIn glad to se he got out of it."
"Wal, they ain't any doubt 'bout his be- J

"Gimme a wig and a full beard," he
said as he rushed into a costuimer's estab
liahment at St. Louis.I
"What's the matter?" asked the clerk,
whose curiosity was excited by the man's e
agitation.
"It all comes 'long o' payin' too much
attention to what my wife said. I made
up a fine speech, an' I ain't had no chance
ter deliver it. Fust thing I know the
time'll be all talked up, an' I'll hey ter
go along through the years with this
speech on my mind. My wife made me
slick up 'fore I come ter town. I'm bald

was fixed up so's I couldn't git no recogni
