There was no scramble for the early trains
at Hartford. The Republican leaders re-
manned on the ground and cTammed the plat
form of the State convention with common
sense and patriotism. Their work resembles
the platform of the Massachusetts, Republic
cans, which is an excellent model for pollti-
cal carpenters. The war currency is declared
to be ga sacred debt to be paid to
" the last dollar in the standard money
"of the world :" all a5tempts to increase the
volume of irredeemable currency are con-
demned as acts of reputation; the party is
committed to the policy of resumption at the
time fixed and the efforts of demagOgues to
array class against class are unsparingly de-
nOunced. The platform has two distinctive
features; disapproval of the niggardly appro-
priatiOns of the Democratic House for the Army,
and the branding of all attempts to reopen
the question of the Presidents title as seditiOn.
There was no desire in any quarter to have
anything like shutting or evasion, and, accord
ingly, the platform is an honest piece of work,
with no pulp, or knot-holes, or worm-eaten
timber anywhere. Inasmuch as the Hon. Henry
G. Robinson persisted in his declinatiOn, the
ticket placed in the field two years ago was
not renOminated A good working ticket, with
the Hon. Charles B. Andrews, an experienced
legislator and sagacious lawyer, at its head,
was placed in the field.

There is to be no lack of backbone on
financial questions at Saratoga. Our staff cor
respondent assures us, with the utmost con-
fidence, that the hard-money flag is to be run
up little higher than usual. We need
not say how heartily we shall approve of an
unequivocal and straightforward dellverance
on this mOmentOus issue. The Republicans
of our State have nothing to gain and much
we had almost said everything-tO lose by
pandering to ignorance and humorinG dis
honesty. We rejoice to learn that the leaders
of the party realize both their resDon-
sibilities to the country and their Oppor-
tunites in the present canvass. We are
also gratifed to hear that the majority
are disposed to use their power with becOm-
ing moderation in the interests of harmony.
1t cannot be doubted that this Is a most patri-
otto policy. We now know that the good
work of Cancellation and common sense so
happily begun at the preliminary conferences
of the party leaders will be crowned with
success at the State Convention.

Spintualism has been ruled out Of the Van
derbit viii case. Whatever the bearing of
the statutes may be upon the evidence
of mediums, this Is a most satisfactory
and sensible settlement of this branch
of the case. AS DR.. Wayland used to
say in relation to free-wlll, spiritual
ISM is something that can neither be proved
nor disDrOved before jury. Meanwhile, the
disgusting proceedings drag on.
The freshest rumOrs concerning the plots
and cOunterplOts at the Democratic State
Convention will be found in our special
dispatches from Syracuse. We are not
sure but that uninquisitive ignorance in such
matters is a more philosophical state of
mind than inqusitive muddle. The haze
which has settled down upon the scene of
conflict is very dense and no one can
tell what the day will bring forth.
1t looks like anybody's fight. Nay, rather, to
use a Celtic figure, it is everybOdy's shindy.
The Democratic Straightout Convention
will attempt to pull itself together, in Faneuil
Hall, this morning. The Boston police is an
efficient body of men, and the local militia regi-
ments are tolerably we'll organized so that
no very serious breach of the peace is to be
apprehended. The hall has been hired in adj
vance by the Executive Committee, and the
chances are thatit viii be occupied by the anti
Butler delegates. Meanwhile, there are more ru-
mors Of designations at the headquarters of the
mob party. 1t may become necessary to
nominate General Butler for every place on the
ticket.
The experience Of Peru must be added to
that OF the nations which have tried paper
currency and found 1t a source Of loss and
discredit. Her Government is anxious to re-

sumo, but it finds that there is five times as
much paper money" in circulation as
there is coin in the country, and so it
will have to defer resumption until the pub
lie wealth has been increased by mining and
industrial enterprises. Meanwhile it affords
little satisfaction to the Peruvian peasant who
exchanged his labor for paper promise, to
know that the fields are productive, and the
mountains are stored with silver. He cannot
foreclose his small mortgage on the national
wealth.

THE LORDS PRAYER-One of the finest
pieces of artistic work in the department Of
engraving is the pure line steel plate engraving
of the Lords Prayer, now on exhibition at
Hsls's. The design is by Mr.. Delwin f.
Brown of New York, who has given the best
years of his life to it. The words of the
Prayer are ingeniously wrought into ornament
al designs, delicate, suggestive, characteristic
of the thought expressed, and finished with an
exquisite grace. The face Of our Lord occupies
central position, while the twelve apostles
from Da Vinci's "Last SUPPER" form the Dor
der of the work. Nine other groups form the
pictorial illustrations of the picture, copies from
Da Vinci, Raphael, Correggio and others. in
all lis heads. The engraving was executed by
the best bank note engravers in the country,
at an expense, we are told, of over $751; 900, and
the result is pronounced by many eminent gen.
tlemen to be one of the finest of its kind. The
size of the engraving is 23x29 inches 1t would
be impossible to give full description of the
work in the space we have to spare. One OF
the most remarkable things about the engrav.
ing is the low price at which it is sold.

AN OLD CITIZEN GoNE.-The late Godfrey
Marks, who died Friday was member of the
firm of G. & G. Marks, cutters on Pearl street.
He was born in Arran, canton of Arrgan,
Switzerland, December 1907 10 1917 his
father emigrated from that country to Phla-
delphia. After remaining few years in the
United States Mr.. Marks returned with his
family to Switzerland. to induce some of his
brothers to join him here They however
declined, as they were all comfortably settled,
and in 1928 the old man returned to America,
and settled in Portland on Cross street. Here
ne remained until 1881, when the sons took the
store in the rear of present Ocean Insurance
Building, on Exchange street, and remained
on that street until the great fire. After the
fire they took up their quarters in their pre-
sent building on Pearl street. The brothers
were universally respected for their quiet, un-
assuming and straightforward ways. They
we're honest, frugal and saved up small sum
of money. They were both members of the
Second Parish church, and the deceased was a
member of the Mechanic Association. He
leaves wife and several children.

A LONG PAssAGE.-The German bark Hebe
arrived here yesterday morning from Pillau,
Germany, after voyage of 80 days. Captain
Ziesmer says he sailed on the 9th of Decem-
Der with cargo of rags for the paper mills at
Cumberland Mills. Nothing of interest tran
spired until the 9th of January when the yes
sci was in latitude 60 degrees north and longi-
tude 10 degrees and 20 minutes west, storm of
snow and hail cana up, accompanied by heavy
wind. One heavy sea struck the vessel, break
ing some stanchions on each side and tearing
away the rail and bulwarks on the port side.
The deck house was stove in and all the arti-
cles on deck washed away, and the boats dam
aged. 1t was ali done with one breaker. To
prevent other damage the vessel bore away to
the south to take advantage Of the northeast
trade winds They found them calm, how
ever, until they reached longitude As and lati
tude 20. when they found favorable wind.
On the 10Th of February the captain reports
having spoken the French bark Mater, from
Java, 100 days, bound to Cadiz. On the fol-
lowing day spoke the English bark William
Jones, from Troop, England, bound to Carde-
mas, 40 days out. When the bark arrived here
their provisions were rather low but they had
plenty to eat on the voyage. The men were
well and all were happy despite the long voy-
age. The captain enquired eagerly for Euro
pean war news on his arrival and when told of
the victory Russia had won appeared to be
greatly gratifed.
