Tho Trap for tho Silver Democrats

There is ono stereotyped reply which the
promoters of GROVER CLEVELAND make to
tho objections of tho silver Democrats Of
tho South and West.
Mr.. CLEVELAND" thor say. has never
broken faith or betrayed q trust. Ho Will
stand by tho Democratic platform II he Is
nominated at Chicago. His personal opin-
Ions ON tho question OF silver coinage Will
be loyalty subordlnated to tho will OF the
party, rs expressed by majority OF the
delegates to tho National Convention. You
silver men need not be afraid to vote for
him at Chicago"
This picture OF Mr.. CLEVELAND subortii-
Mating himself humbly to tho will OF his
party in regard to silver. and taking his in
structions from the platform. is exhibited
exclusively IN tho West. Tho companion
piece exhibited ut tho East represents him
as yctoing any silvcr bill that may pass
Congress. and crushing the lifo out or the
silver movement with his heavy heel.
As to tho protcnco that Mr.. GROVER
CLEVELAND is incapable OF departing
from the Instructions Of the platform on
which he is nominated, the statement
OF ono fact will Ii. sufficient. The plat
form on which Mr.. CLEVELAND was
nominated In 1854 directly and distinctly
affirmed tho Democratic principle Of pro-
lection to American industry and American
labor From tho foundation OF this
Government, said Tho platform of 1854.
"taxes collected at tho Custom House
have been the chief source Of Fed
eral revenue. Such they must con-
tinuc to 10. Tho necessary reduction OF
taxation can and must be effected without
deprivinE American labor OF the ability to
compete successfully with foreign labor.
and withOm imposing lOrcr rates Of deity than
rW b. ample to cOrcr any increased cost of
production uhich n,Hy c.rist IN consequence Of
the higher rate Of ,rdgcs prerdilinO in this
country" This is prntcctlonist doctrine as
distinct as was eyer contained in any Re-
publican platform. Moreover. this is pre-
cisely the same formula for protection as
was adopted last week by the Republican
Convention OF 1892.
But when for tho promotion Of his own
denomination Mr.. GROVER CLEVELAND
found it cxpcdient to put himself at the
head OF Mugwump free trade movement.
and to try to impose upon the Democracy
his own recently acquired notions OF tariff
policy, he tore tho Democratic platform Of
1884 into pieces without the slightest hest
tatlon. Hc became the open enemy and
violent dcnuncator OF tho principle Of
protection affirmed In tho platform on
which he was elected. Not only that: he
and his free trade friends began to de-
nounce rs n traitor in the camp every
Democrat who stood by the declarations Of
the Democratic platform OF 1884.
We recall this circumstance for the benefit
OF our friends tho silver Democrats Of the
South and West. as an historical illustration
OF the manner in which Mr.. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND subordinates his personal views to the
views OF the party. and the extent to which
he takes his instructions from the party's
platform.

ASSEMBLY DrD NOR TRIP DIR. BRIees.
mr.. Thompson Says that the Question Wa.
demanded TO the Presbytcry for Trial.

The Rev. DR.. Charles L. Thompson. DR..
Briggss friend and follower. preached on Les.
sons from the General Assembly" in tho Mad
ison Avenue Presbyterian Church last night
He said In regard to the Briggs controversy;
Tho Presbytery dismissed the prescntmcnt
against Prot Briggs because 1t thought there
was no case. The Prosecuting Committee APP
pealed to the General Assembly. Tho subject
which came before the Assembly was not tho
orthodoxy or heresy Of Dr. Briggs. It was
purely a formal question touching the contcn-
ton between the Prosecuting Committee and
the Prcsbytery. Tho question concerned tho
order of procedure. and tho real mcrits of
the Briggs controversy wcro not pas sod on.
There were three points to DO decided Ivy tho
General Assembly
"Frst-lial the Prosecuting Committee any
standing?
"Second-Wns the npreal in ordcr7
"Thbd-Were the grounds OF appeal valid?
THE tlrst two points wore lightly and mis-
takenly. in my judgment. passed over by the
Assembly Ms matters of form. and the third.
tho validity of tho grounds W appeal. was
passed on by IN overwhelming, majority. four
out Of five voting, to remand the cgsc to tho
lGeshytery for trial. Tho Assembly said in
have heard. We direct you to hear it,
There was nothing as to the substance Of the

bers of the New York Prcsbytcty hnvc no M
petite or liking for the work before us. but,
being good Prcsbyter.nns We will obey tho
General Assembly. and wo Will also sec to it
that the rights Of tho individual and the claims
Of truth are sacredly guarded"
In regard to the rclations Of the General As
the speaker thought that tho action of tho
Assembly both Mt Detroit aud at Portland had
nrnciritatcd IN issue which should have been
left to time to heal.
Alt hough an ardent revisionist. he said in
conclusion that he did not approve OF the revi-
sion which had failed to revise that was now
before the Prcsbyterics for adoption.

Tho recent conversion Of the Great West

Tho recent conversion OF the Great West
ern Railway throughout into standard gauge
line. may fairly be said to mark an epoch:
while the skill and speed with which the work
was accomplished naturally excited popular
admiration. The 7-foot gauge associated with
tho great famc OF BRUNEI no longer exists in
England. The standard Of 4 feet ga inches is
henceforth the real broad gauge. rs compared
with the narrow 3!a and even feet roads to bo
found hero and thoro for special service in the
mining or other regions.
Tho broad gauge was introduced when both
the roadbcd system and the rolling stock
werc far inferior to what they are now. SO that
the additional steadiness thereby gained was
appreciated. Tho Great Western Railway. up
to thirty eight years ago. used only the broad
gauge: but then a mixed gauge was intro
duced by adding now rail for tho rolling
stock Of the moro usual gauge on other roads.
Even Il quarter OF Il century ago that railway
had .45O miles of broad gauge: but the con-
tEary movement became Irresistible even In
this stronghold OF tho other system, SO that
out O! about 1900 miles owned when the final
change came about 1000 wcro standard. APO
mixed. and perhaps 10 broad.
But in ono way and another a distance. 1t Is
said, Of about 200 miles had to be handled !:
and an extra force of 5000 men began on 1t.
with tho passage OF the last broad gauge spec
cal train eastward or n Saturday morning.
The work was substantially over by Sunday
night, the time actually occupied being only
thirty-one hours. On Monday morning trains
ran for public accommodation. There Is q
reminiscent and almost pathetic tone In the

once famous system.

AN UNREHEARsED ACT.

Marriage of Two Prominent Mem
bers Of the alabama" Company.
One always fancies that stage lovers
must fall in love with their stage sweet
hearts. but they don't. The villain off
the stage, quite as likely as not, is the
husband of the mistreated heroine, and
the soubrette is the mother of the first
old woman. Now, in Alabama" poor
Squire Tucker, who, off the stage, is
OdeIl Williams. seems utterly lett out
with no one to love him; but he isn't;
not bit OF it, for yesterday at high
noon he was welded to Miss
Zenaide Vislaire, who in the
play is Squire Moberly's daughter,
Atlanta. The marriage took place at
the Christ church rectory, and Rev. G.
D. Andrews read the service, before
Herbert Millward, manager Of the COM
pany, and Walter Hudson, Maggie
MitchelPs advance agent, as witnesses.
Mr.. Williams is by No means stranger
in st. Paul. He is member Of mys-
FERROUS and lurid organization in town
called the Red Devils society, and they
say that while playing the part of the
Old Campaigner in ''Clio" he was ini-
tiated to the mysteries of that same Or
ganization in an original but somewhat
rough fashion. The bride was with
Days stock company in New York for
two years before she joined the "Ala-
bama" company. She is of Mississippi
birth, and is kin to great many of the
famous families of the South. Her
mother was Wofford, and her grand
mother, whose name she bears, was
Princess de Beauharnais.
