Pittsburg Post.
The imminence of war in Europe has
set afoat q great many statements as TO
the future Of the Papacy in case Rome
should become an uncomfortable aud I'M

probably would II Italy and France en-
gage in war; they both being Catholic
nations, and of course very sensitive as
TO the influence of the Vatican on one
side or the other Of the impending con-
hict. It would not matter much in this
regard should the war be between Ger
many and France, as in that case there
would be no call for the removal of the
pope from Rome for political reasons,
but IL would be difficult should Italy and
France engage, and that is certainly Que
of the probabilities. A statement is tele

bilities above noted arrangements are

That being the case, nothing would be

do answer, that the price would advance

true. But the silver men have not acquired

Louisville Courier-Journal.
Much of the opposition to the repeal of
the Sherman act is unquestionably caused
by the belief that it will bring about a
contraction of the currency. This opin
ion is cherished In spite Of the great con
traction of money available for the pur-
poses of business which the Sherman act
has caused at time when the quantity
of money in the country is greater than
ever before The impression that re-
peal will result in contraction is due
in some measure, as we have
already shown, to the sensational
generalities about striking down
silver" in which many of the anti.
Iepealers have INDUCED, making the i'm
preston that our silver dollars are to be
demonetizsd Those who have examined
the bill know that this is not the case
Every dollar which is now legal tender
will remain so after repeal. But it is
urged that by stopping the buying Of
silver and issuing notes to pay for it
the expansion Of the currency will be
stopped. This, also, is pure assump-
ton. We shall stop bartering the gold
in the Treasury for silver bullion, Of
comss. But we shall not annihilate
any of this bullion. IL the Treasury
does not buy it what will become Of
it2 Obviously, such part of
it as is not needed in the arts will be
exported and sold for gold or merchan
disc or used in the payment OF debts
which we may owe abroad In any Of
these cases it will either add TO our
stock of money or prevent the diminu-
ton of IL, which comes TO the same
thing The threat of contraction is a
mere scarecrow The worst sort of con-
traction that is to be apprehended Is
that which would come from silver
mono metallism, TO which so many are
trying to drive us That would at once
drive away the gold, and cut in two the
purchasing power Of the money we had
i left.

Found it out for themselves,
so they did, the wise women
who invaded the Wrap, Cos

yesterday.
These are not like those
of other stores. "
$50 many kinds and so few
of a kind they can't become
common.
"They have an air of the
foreign shops"
Very stylish and not dear
either"
And so the talk went on all
day long, all day long.
Our Wraps are not cut and
made for wholesale. Each one
is prepared for us to retail to
the Chestnut street trade.
Once we tried to make them
in our own workrooms and
could only get the benefit of
one set of brains. We did as
well as anybody could, and
especially for wholesaling, but
for retail we want to draw on
all the brains of all the scores
of makers and get the first
selections of the best styles.
We cannot be hampered
with lots of goods made in our
workrooms, perhaps for whole
sale, that must be forced of
at retail.
! Our way is a steady stream
of the very newest things from
all the best makers, passing
before our customers day after
day and always something
new.

SENATOR STEWART fulfilled one Of the
apprehensions of Senator Gray by intro
duclng a bill for the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. One fatal element in
the whole silver movement is the boldly
blazoned self interest which that little
group Of Republican Senators have in the
marketing Of silver. They are always
'bulling" its price. 1t is just as
II there were so many Reading railroad
stockholders in the Senate bulllng
their stock, and selling cut rate tickets to
be held by the Treasury for future use.

that these men may introduce. 1t Is

MuuNrAIN CLIMBING.
The Safety Of the Many Bought by the
Death OF the Few.

Death OF the Few.
AL crafts depend upon knowledge and
acquired ekill-lsnowledge of the ma
terial to be handled, acquired skill in the
handling of the material. Pioneers Of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
Of their structure, and the forces in ac-
ton upon them. Rock structure, which
has one meaning for a geologist, has
others for a mountaineer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
gullies, another forms lodges and preci-
pieces. One texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed, another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind Of substance is firm and trust
worthy, another is friable and treacher-
GUS to hand and foot. If there was so
much to be learned about rocks, snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy Of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets Of crevasse forma-
ton to be learned. There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
estate of the snow" to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
estate Of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
avalanches of snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected TO fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn to
distinguish afar off between snow and
ice slopes. Moreover, the tools of noun
paineering had to be invented. Many
were tried and discarded; few were re-
tanned and improved. The form Of the
AK was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were a source of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril OF
cornices. Unroped climbers met their
death on many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety Of the many has
been bought by the death of the few.
We can now plunge into the world Of
snow without undue peril. We know
its dangers and can guard against them
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun
ners went aloft as neolithic navigatori
put to sea-badly equipped and into Z
misunderstood region. We are now OF
the footing Of the modern sailor. Snow
as such, has no more terrors for us thai
sea for them. Ill luck may overtak
us, and we may fall, as they may b.
drowned, but with good equipment anC
experience the climber and seafarer ar
about as safe as the townsman at home

after the dissolution of the Long parlia-

MCKINLEY is literally walking away
with the nomination for the Presidency
in Ohio. He is really expecting to carry
Ohio on the tariff issue, as personal
vindication, for the Republican party.

Of Mckinley scheme better now. But

would be great triumph, indeed, II the
Republicans should carry Ohio. But
they should try not to forget the fact
that the Democrats will likely hold
every state that has been wrested
from the Republican column when
they make 6ght on national issues. It
