EDITORIAL COMMENT.

If the reorganizers really want to defeat the Hearst movement in this state or anywhere else, the less they advertise that bar’l and checkbook the better. The following headlines appear above an article on the financial page of the Indianapolis Sentinel, the state organ tff a party which staked its reputation for political foresight in two recent national campaigns on the contention that the gold standard meant scarce money and continued panic: "Plenty of Money in the Country— Per Capita ; Circulation and Amount of Money Are Both Greater Than fiver Before.’’

One of the interestidg questions in Indiana ie whethdr the aelf-oon-atituted bosses of the Democratic party propose to hold any district oonveatious for the selection of delegates to the national convention. If they do, what right have they to pledge in advance the result of these conventions? What choice have the Democrats in the state manifested that justifies any man or set of men in assuring anybody that he is to have the delegation from this state in the national convention ? Who is the Democratic party of Indiana, anyhow?

It is said the Tillman that murdered Editor Gonzales is a candidate for congress. There ought to be a condition in this country that would make it impossible for such a man even to dream of such perferment, but unfortunately there is no such condition. Tillman may not be nominated, but no one is in a position to make such a prediction with any degree of assurance. This is not a very hopeful comment upon the condition of things in that region of the country, but unfortunately it is the comment of the facts as they are.

A copy of the Mitchell, S. Dak,, Capital has been handed us, contains a* article in reference to the death of Miss Rena Nelson, the young woman whom a Boone, lowa, woman was supposed to have murdered by sending her a box of poisoned candy. In this article the Mitchell paper sets out the explicit facts showing that in all human probability Miss Nelson caused her own death, through a diabolical scheme she concocted to get the Boone woman into trouble and disgrace. The charge is that Miss Nelson bought the candy and the poiben herself, sent to herself through ihe postoffice, and then ate a small portion of the poisoned part, enough, as she thought merely to make h«r a little sick, and then accu c <' die Boone woman of She miscalculated the strength of the poison, however, and died nine days after taking it.
