RENT IN TWAIN.

A Sliver Wedße Will Split Into Two Fragments the Democratic Party. Says Thomas E. Watson in the People's Party paper: “Fine editorial work is a rarity on the partisan press. Most of the dribblings from the average editor’s pen are too infirm to obey the law of gravitation. They need help even to go down hilL The financial articles in the Atlanta Constitution are exceptions, notable exceptions. Bimetallism has been advocated and the single-gold standard has been denounced with a clearness, a power and a conclusiveness which cannot be excelled. We are willing to give ungrudging praise to any one who fights for the welfare of the people. On the free silver question, the Constitution has done so.” It may be that Mr. Watson does not • read the St. Louis Republic, which is continuously dealing the goldolatora telling blows. The Clay Center (Kan.) Dispatch sayte: "When the Dispatch makes a mistake or does anybody an injustice it is always ready to correct the same as soon as it becomes known. Two weeks ago it was stated in these columns that Col. Jones had been removed from the editorial management of the St. Louis Republic. The conclusion was drawn that his removal would result in a change of policy on the part of the paper; that, while it had been a bold defender of the people it would now become a powerful advocate of Wall street and gold-bugism. We are glad to be able to say that there has been no change in the paper so far. It continues to deal out heavy blows against the enemies of the people and we trust it will keep up the good fight for honest government until the end of time. The Dispatch is only too glad to acknowledge its error. ”
