read from the republican campaign
book, page l57:
Some money lenders who are mone7

may be dearer. The honest wage earners
the tillers Of the soil, and other producer
who would rob no man, want more none!
but good money. More money, they be
lieve, is required by the constant growth Of
COMMERCE and industry.
In the next paragraph, the same page
the book says:
Noparty has ever favored money monop-
olists, contraction of the currency, or an
unchanged volume Of circulation which,
with growing business would involve rela.
tive contraction.
In the great anxiety OF the republican
party to secure votes they proceed in the
next paragraph Of their campaign book
to use these expressions:
The subhesd of this paragraph is az
follows:
The book then says:
Nine-tenths of the people are bimetal-
lists. They want both money metal used
because they believe both needed TO sus-
tain the worlds commences. The republi-
can party intelligently and honestly
answers their wishes. President Harrison
is bimetallist, as his official papers and
his speeches plainly show. The republi-
can platform declares for bimetsllism, and
in that respect faithfully represents the
course of the party.
Not only was their campaign book
emphatic in interpreting their platform
and principles as unqualified in advo-
cscy of free silver, but the leading re-
publican organ, the New York Tribune,
was explicit in that Interpretation, and
even went further, and added its sp-
provRl and admiration for the free silver
plank Of the platform upon which they
were to ask the people Of the United
States to retain them in power.
Remember that the republican plat
form of 1892 said:
The American people from tradition and
interest favor bimetallism, and the repub-
lioan party demands the use of both gold
and silver as standard money.
The New York Tribune Of June 10,
1892, in it's leading editorial on the Min
nespo'is platform, says:
The platform gives frank expression TO
to the pride of republicans with the grand
work Of the congress Of 1890, snd appeals
without hesitation to the results Of that
work thus far realized.
The declaration on the silver question il
equally free from ambiguity.
The New York Tribune very properly
says that this
Declaration on the silver question is free
from ambiguity.
And 1t speaks of the pride of the re-
publicsns in what the Tribune calls the
great work Of the republican congress
Of 1890 in enRciing the Sherman law.
And the Tribune appeals without
hesitation to the results of that work.
Bear in mind that this New York
Tribune, which was. 80 emphatic for bi'
metallism and free silver coinage pend

Su0 OneLnAn nOH was giving Ou9 PeOPAe
annually s6O,0O0,OOO Of the best money
the world has ever seen, and republican
criticism Of the democratic BlsEd act was
that it gave the people but S24,OO0,0OO
when the Sherman act gave them $780,
100000, and yet those same republicans
are 90 fsithless 10 the people as to stand
in an almost solid phRlanx, using every
possible effort to take away from the
people every dollar Of the money which
they assert is the best the world has ever
seen, ahd the reason they now give for
this action is, that these treasury notes
are dishonest money.
Now, each dollar which is now being
issued under the Sherman act at the
present price Of silver is based upon al
most twice as much silver as the dollars
were based upon which were being
issued in 1890 when the republicans said
the Sherman oct "tressury notes" were
as good as any money the world has ever
seen.
But republicans do not stop at these
pledges to the people with regard to
their advocacy Of free coinage Of silver.
The silver plank in the republican
platform Of 1892 were in these worlds
The American people from tradition and
interest favor bi-metsllism, and the repub-
ican party demands the use Of both gold
and silver as standard money, with such re-
striotions and under such provisions, to be
determined by legislation, ss will secure the
maintenance of the parity of the values of
the two metals, so that the purchasing and
debt paying power Of the dollar, whether Of
silver, gold, or paper, shall be at all times
equal.
And their candidate, President Hsrri-
son, in bus letter of acceptance indorssd
all that has been said by his party and
used this emphatic and unmistsksble
language:
The resolution Of the convention in favor
Of bimetsllism declares, / think, the true
and necessary conditions Of a movement
that has, upon these lines. my cordial Rd-
herenOe and support. I am thoroughly
convinced that the free coinage Of silver at
such q ratio to gold as will maintain the
equality in their commercial uses Of the
two coined dollars would conduCe to the
prosperity Of all the great producing and
commercial nations Of the world.
The republican campaign book, psges
157 to 165, then devotes a chapter in
sulogy Of the Sherman act and its effects
and unblushingly charges democrats
with having demonetized silver.
They also assert that the Bland act
was republican measure.
They say, page 163:
The aOt formed by the republican senate
in 1873 provided for limited coinage of
SILVER. It was saVsgely denounced by dem
crate, but, after twelve years Of experience,
was found to have done no harm.
wish to call attention to this re-
markRble fact.
This paragraph which l take from
page 1853 Of the republican campaign
book Of 1892 refers to the Blsnd-Allison
act.
1t will be observed that they claim
that this act was formed by the republi.
can party, and they claim only last year
that it was beneficial and was found to
have done no harm, and yet this is the
very law which the republicans repealed

A Central Figure, Conspicuous for Tinseis
 and Tiummery.
 Baron Fava. at the last inauguration, was the second in the rank, upon which the diplomatic corps is so persistent, the dean at the time being the minister of the little government of uayti, Mr. Preston. It has not infrequertly hap rened in the history of the diplcmati. corps at Washington that the represent ative of the smallest country in regard to territory. population, wealth ana power has outranlled the greatest en- pires of the old world. This, says the Boston Journal, has been true for many years. The rcprese ntativc of Great Britain, owing to more frequent changes in the representatives in her ambas'- sadors here. has not been dean of the diplomatic corps since the days of Sir Edward Thornton, who was subsc- quently promoted as it is termed in the diplomatic language of Europe, to the court of St. Petersburg. Sir Ed ward Thornton was followed as dean by the representative of the smallest and most insignificant of the indepen dent governments represented here. the minister of IIayti. who held the posi- tion of dean for great many years; in fact, until his retirement from office and his subsequent death. The diplo- matte corps is great social feature in Washington. It consists of a few dis tinguished persons. but for the greater part is composed of small men and ap- prentices. who consider Washington as the starting point of their diplomatic career. Washington as city of diplo- mats is a mission of the third class. Even the petty Italian court has higher ran9-for the reason, p~rhaps. that the republic of the United States of Amer ica is regarded as plebeian- But, insig nificant as this body of men is, taken as whole, it is n central figure of Wash ington society. and on all state occa- sions is made conspicuous by its tinsels and flummery. One of the chief occu- pations of the corps is to act as a sort of ornamental appendage or fringe to society.

 A demurrer by Allen English to the indictments against the defendants Lyall, Turner ct al, , cases, was heard. In one indictment they pleaded no; guilty. The ground upon which counsel demurred was that tine defend ants had not had an opportunity to challenge the grand jurymen or the panel. He had eleven jurors 10 challenge and after some argument the court allowed the elaven men to be brought into court and questioned.
 The defendant Valdez pleaded not guilty 10 grand larceny.
 James Burnett pleaded not guilty to the same otfense, and his trial was set for Wednesday. His attorney, James Reilly, sta ed that he had ff- teen witnesses and might not be ready by that time, but would try.
 The charge was ignored by the grand jury in the case of the Territory vs. Malcolm.

 II stood by and watched her. She cuddled the ice eggs under her and chuckled softly to them. In about ten minutes she appeared to get uneasy. She arose and scratched the dariings together and shook herself, then, evil dently satisfied, settled down again. Soon she got up once more, this time with evident concern: something was wrong, surely; perhaps the weather was getting cold. She felt wet and chilly, but with great perseverance she sat down again and again got up, this time for good. She walked out of the box and then turned and looked in, but she had had enough.

Decking the Beds of Sleeping Innoeents
 with White Clover.
 John Brown was the grave digger of Scotch parish. He had his own ways like most Scotchmen-ando one of them was to sow the graves of little children with white clover. The new minister of the parish had noticed Johns loving care of children's graves, and one day came upon him trimming the small rest ing place of child buried a few days before. The conversation which fol lowed is reported in a volume of Scotch anecdotes.
 John" said the minister, ''why are you So particular in dressing and keep ing the graves of children?'
 .'Of such is tine kingdom of Heaven. ' answered John, looking up at the sky.
 And on this account you tend them with so much care?" remarked the min. ister, slowly, as if musing on Johns an. swer.
 Surely, sir" said the grave digger pausing in his work, T canna make overbraw the bed coverin' of little in nocent sleeper that is waiting here til it's Gods time to waulen it, and cover it with the white robe.
