PURSUING THE WRONG TACTICS. iThe gold advocates began their campaign for gold wrong when they characterized the agitation for free silver as a "craze," led by designing demagogues, whose following con sisted mainly of bucolic simpletons, They failed to recognize the fact that there was in the front ranks of this movement some of the biggest brained men in this country, and. in their following many thousands of the! most substantial, trusty and level headed people in it, who were as tar removed from demagogues and cranks as chalk is from charcoal They were wrong again when they assumed that nobody in this country was competent to understand or discuss the financial question but the men who run the big banks in the East and the organs and the orators who represent them, who ac cordingly indulged in a great deal of stuff that the people soon discovered was mere rot. " They were wrong again when they undertook to bulldoze the people they couldn't influence by threaten ing them with a loss of credit and with bringing down upon themselves and their sections the displeasure of the capitalists of the East whose business it is to -lend money, and when they gave a few object lessons by refusing to lend the State of Ala bama a small sum of money, as that New York Trust company did, be cause the Alabama Senators fa vored free silver and the people of Alabama endorsed the cause, and again when they refused to do busi ness with free silver men, as those Louisville bankers did, they stirred up indignation among the people who objected to and were not slow to show their opinion of that kind of bulldozing. ; " ' And they haven't learned much since the Chicago Convention met, for their programme 1 since then has been one of denunciation, abuse" and vile misrepresentation intensified by rage, by which they are making ad ditions every day to the free silver cause not only in the South and in the West, but in the East, where they didn t think the free silver cause had any following, but where it is be coming stronger day after day. Among the gold standard papers there are some notable and honorable exceptions to this rule, one of the most conspicuous of which is the Washington Post, which has more than repaid them for their folly and does it again in the following edito rial which we clip from the issue of Monday last: The gold standard Democrats ' should find some better way of justifying their opposition to Bryan and Sewall than the assertion that the Chicago Convention was a Populist assemblage. The Jost has repeatedly shown that the Chicago Convention was not only Democratic, bat probably the most Democratic of all the national gatherinRs that have ever taken place under the ausotces of that or any other party in the Uoited States . Those Republican journals that are try' tog 10 xaciuiaic me co-operation of sound money men of all parties should know better than to attempt the attain. ment of that object, however desirable ana expedient it may oe, Dy misreore- semiag the Chicago Convention. The rnuaaeipnia leugrapn is an inde pendent ttepUDiican paper of good intention, but aommawa 7 dundant zeal that leads to uowmnu in emergencies. It S3ys of the Chicago Convention that it was held in the name of the Democracy, but the name was the only thing that savored ol Democracy from the Beginning to wc en m u. session; bat -the meeting was domi nated by the Populistic ana anarcnisyc mob assembled and controlled by Alt geld, and the Democratic party organiza tion had very little to do with the pro ceedings. ' ' . . The Telegraph must know that what it calls "the Populistic and anarchistic mob" referring, wetuppose, to the spec tators, not to the delegates, had noth ing to do with the decisions of the cre dentials committee, the election of tem porary and permanent presiding wuwn, the preparation cf the platform or the voting for candidates. All these mat- ters were controuea uy iub m;urau.v party organtz ition." The Telegraph says, the platform is a Populistic cam naion document, such as Peffer and Jerry Simpson and Mrs. Lea have been putting forth lor years past. That is a grcsi exaggeration of the facts The Chicago platfirm is not the Porjulist creed: is not what Fetter ana Simpson and Lease have! been putting forthThe One feature of that platform which Eastern Democrats denounce; the one issue which it raises in such shape as to effect something like a realignment oi parties; the issue so important that all others are rapidly disappearing, is the declaration for free coinage. This is not PoDulism. but Democracy; ine ucmo- cratic Party has been a free coinage par ty ever since that issue appeared in mc political arena. Where is the Democratic State that is not for free coinage? When did a majority of the Democrats in Con gress ever omit an opportunity to vote for free coinage? And who will assert that the victory won by the free coinage wing of the party was not the result of a long, open, bold fight, in which the vic tors had the disadvantage ;of opposing a Democratic administration It is orobable that the Populists and silver Republicans at St. Louis this week will indorse the unicagq nominations; but such action will not change tne name nr character of the Democratic party. It will simply mean that the issue of free coinage is deemed to be so im portant that the Populists ana stiver Re publicans are willing, for the time, to forego all other issues It will mean that Peffer and his brethren, will lay aside their sub-treasury scheme and their demand for billions of fiat money. and that Teller and his following will let go all the doctrines of their party, it win mean a general surrender as to an minor issues, and a great increase in the voting strength of the Democratic party in States that are likely to oe controuea . s bv such an arrangement. Bat it will not mean that the Democratic party nas surrendered to Peffer or to Teller any more than Herr Most's declaration for sound money implies that the Republi cans have gone over to the red rag. They will discover before the cam paign progresses very.,iar tnat tne people are in no mood to be divert ed by the hurling of epithets from a cause in which they believe their prospeiity and the prosperity of the country are involved, or by the rabid utterances of men who haveuo sym pathy with the masses and are con trolledentirely by their: own selfish ness. They must change their tac . , i . - i . j : r tics ana aaaress tne people in a uu ferent and more rational way if they expect to be listened I to and don't wantto be overwhelmed in this con fiict. : . . . ..... MINOR MENTION. Dr. J. J. Mott, for years one of the leading.Republicans of this State, i ' ? r . i r i o : l now cnairman or tne iNauonai ouvcr party, is quoted as speaking thus in an interview with a newspaper re porter at St. Louis : ! In my own State. North Carolina, the Democrats will probably attempt to ride in on the silver wave, but they will be disappointed. I feel confident that we can carry 40 000 Republicans from Mc- Kiniey ana lor. tree silver, in tnat state we will put out an independent State ticket. You know that two years ago we defeated the Democrats in North Carolina, and now we do not propose that they shall get control of the State government as a lot of State politicians think will be possible. We will say to them we will vote for I your national ticket, but in the State we will pat oat our own State ticket. This is a somewhat peculiar state ment and, if true, indicates that Dr. Mott, like Marion Butler, is playing a sly role, in which a prospective Senatorship figures behind the scenes, It suggests also that there may be some understanding between Dr. Mott and Senator Butler by which they will pull together j and mutually pull for each other. He says "two years ago we defeated the Democrats in that State." Who the "we" are in this connection, so far as it applies to Dr. Mott, is not quite clear, for Dr. Mott was not then and is not now a Populist, and the "we" jvas a combination of Populists and Re publicans with Dr. Mott figuring on the Republican side. : The Silver party didn't figure in the case because the it was not in existence then. If Dr. Mott now j expects to make a combine witfauthe Popu lists he must also have the co-operation of the Republicans who were in the combine, two years ago before "we" can do what "we" did then. But as the regular Republican or ganization is committed to Mc Kinley and gold, how is Dr. Mott going to pull it in to play his pro gramme? Without it he will go into the campaign with practically only what he can command of Mr. But ler's Populist following, which will be far from as strong as it was two years ago, and Dr. Mott' s chances of capturing Senator Pri tchard's seat in the Senate will not be encourag ing .enough to bet large ' sum of money on. Senator Marion Butler is'playing a double role at St. Louis, but this is a characteristic of the man since he has become a political leader that it is rather to be expected. We can very well understand why he should not be in favorbf uniting with the Democrats and making- common causef for free silver because this would deprive htm of some of the distinction which he 'now has as a leader in the Populist party, a dis tinction which he enjoys and has found profitable. But in playing bis game he has due regard neither for consistency nor fortruth. In his speech on taking the chair as tern porary presiding officer of the Popu list Convention at St. .Louis, in advising against uniting, with the Democratic party . in sup port of the ticket nominated at Chi- cava, he is auotea as saying - xuc Peoples party had raised an issue so universal, so great, so important, that it had split both the old parties in two," by which be meant the free coinage issue, in is sou nos, pretty oud, but as a matter of fact, it . is not true, for free coinage was an is sue in the Democratic party before Marion Butler had raised to the sur- ace or the Populist party was thouffht of. Hon. R. P. Bland was an advocate of free coinage befor! Marion Bu:ler was known outside of the town he lived in, and it was by Democratic votes that a free coinage bill was Dassed In 1878. and it was by the vote of a. Republican Sen ate that the country was com pelled to take the Bland Allison act as a substitute for the free coin age act passed ' by the Democratic Honse of ReDresentativea. , Ever since then the strongest support and about the only support, with the ex ception of the Representatives and Senators from r the -silver States, which silver has had in Washington came trom tne; uemocrauc party. But eVen if Senator Butler's assertion were true he is a recent convert to free silver, for in the campaign of '92 and '94, when that was an issue in this State. Marion Butler was throwing cold water on it by declar ing it a side issue and a ruse with which the. Democratic leaders were trving to fool the people. The fact is that in his efforts to prevent co operation with the Democrats, to keep himself on top, he is neither truthful, honest nor consistent. CURRENT COMMENT. -Mr. Cleveland was a strong advocate of party discipline in 1892. Mr. Cleveland cannot become a party disorganizer this year without being suspected of selfishness. Is the President a selfish :mza-New York Journal, Dem. ' - ' ; Marion Butler, Senator from North Carolina will not ratify the nomination of Bryan. Butler is at present the infant prodigy of poli tics, being the youngest man in the Senate. If so young a man as Bryan were to be sent !o the White House, Butler might lose some of the noto riety attaching : to youth in high office. Savannah News gold) Dem. While Iowa, Indiana and Illi nois will be the battle centers in November next, the Silverites will doubtless make a bold push to carry the State election in Maine which comes off earlier for the sake of the moral effect upon the country. The sound money marshals will have to look well to their defences in the Pine Tree State, for the sappers and miners of silver are undoubtedly at work. Philadelphia Record, zold) Dem. The dissatisfaction expressed by many Democrats at the capture by the silverites of the Chicago con vention comes too late to serve any purpose. Democrats- throughout the country had full notice of the in tentions of the free coinage advo cates. They would not believe that the scheme that i finally resulted in success was practicable. The con vention has formulated the doctrine of the party, and. the only choice re maining to those Democrats who disapprove of the platform is to leave the party or to acquiesce in the action of the majority.

Tho florist to whom eho applied was glad to enter into tho arrange ment, and fho began early last spring sending him violots, follow- inga littlo later with jonquils, hya cmths, then roses and in tho fall chrysanthemums. Sho always had given soino timo to hor plants and felt that sho wa amply repaid in tho pleasure and tho mental and physical recreation she got from tho work. Now sho gives a little more time, end in addition to the pleasure and recreation baa a solid financial reinuneration that ia to help send her two daughters to school without mortgaging tho farm, I have often wondered why worn en wno live m cr within easy reach of largo cities do not give moro at tention to raising plants, tho blooms of which would find a nlace in the markets.

A New York Society Woadma a Victim of ,)!:!-c4 Vf -' Strange Mania. "See that --woman over there, " said the floorwalker, as be jerked his head cautiously toward - th3 silk counter and looked intently in the opposite direction; "well, sho's got the habit worae than any one I ever saw,' and in my timo I've seen a great many sad cases. She's hope less now. ' Chronic case, you know. I suppose she will die from it some day.. "What habit? Yby, the silk hab it, of oourse. Has to buy it, you know. Can't help herself, and her family can't " do anything to cure her either. For years that woman has given her life, her energy and her wealth in gratifying . her habit. She belongs to one of the oldest and the riohest families in the metropo lis, and : owns a beautiful town house, not 1,000 miles from Del monioo's. That house is filled, liter ally brimming .over from basement to garret, with yards and yards of silks and satins. There are closets bursting with bundles and packages that have, never been opened since they left the dry goods store where they wero brought. ."That is a peculiar phase of her mania. The moment she has paid for the silk she loses all interest in it, and nine times out of ten she never sees it after it has been paid for. Why, jn the years that she has been a victim of the habit, she has bought enough silk stuffs to gown a Patriarchs' ball and have enough left over to make hundreds of wom en happy and well dressed for Jife. "There is not a more exacting shopper in the whole city, and tho merchant's delight at seeing her be fore his counter is tempered always with dread. She is a connoisseur in silks and satins, and it is a dreary day for the merchant who trios to deceive her with an inferior grade of gooda. She knows more about silks than half the heads of dry goods firms, and could give points to not a few wholesale buyers. "For a time she switched off from silks and tried linens. That was just as acute, while it lasted, and I will guarantee that during the months she was under the linen influence she bought enough to furnish a Broadway hotel, cafe and rostau rant, sleeping rooms and all. The linen, too, is hidden away some where in her house. She herself probably does not know whero and surely sho does not care. Every merchant in the shopping district knows her, and ho knows, too, just what becomes of her purchases, for neither hor sorvanta nor her family make any secret of it tier nusDanu cuea somo yeara ago, leaving an immonso estate; Hid last request was 'that every wish of his wife be gratified, and it has been.

There are rods of that beautiful, old flowered stuff, literally aores of that old fash ioned silk that your grandmother used to wear and that was stiff onough to stand alone. No new de sign that is placed on the market ever escapes her. She follows the fashions as faithfully as though sho really had an idea of having the silk made into a gown. "Some day her heirs will make a fortune selling the result of her hab it at auction, and fine silks and sat ins will bo a drug on tho market. New York Press. The Great Sword makers.
