The article throws light on the various political events in the U.S. The Chicago platform wants the control of Government ownership of railroads and telegraphs. The Chicago platform proposes that Government notes shall be redeemable in coin, meaning thereby silver coin, the Populists content themselves with favoring the issue of money by the Government without saying anything about its redemption. The commission on the Greater New York charter have displayed great speed in preparing a draft of the first five chapters, and great good sense in giving it out, even in incomplete and tentative form, for public scrutiny. Whatever the plan evolved, its acceptance must depend on popular approval, and as that can be secured only by thorough discussion.
