Yesterday morning at $3.50 o'clock there was
q Hebrew peddler named Abram Treat on d
train Of tho Third avenue elevated railroad
who wanted to get of at Fulton street. To
make sure OF not being left, he asked the
guard every few minutes whether the train
had passed his station. When the train finally
reached Fulton street and the peddler asked

Murphy OF 248 East Eiehty-seventh street,
grabbed him by the neck and threw him out
upon tho platform.

HeIoyes His Cousin.

This Is a question which has been often
answered by TIE SUN. but. az our corre-
spondent says. its discussion ls always in
teresting and Is Of deep concern to many
young people:
Glove my cousin and she loves NO. but my mother
IL opposed because she docs not believe In mixing
blood. 10. Now. thiss question which interests a
great number. aud more than You can ever Imagine.
Your answer TO IT would be OF service to me-"
1t Is easily explainable why so many young
fellows fall in love with their pretty cous-
ins. The relationship promotes the init
mate association which breeds the tender
passion. They start out with the affection
OF klnship. and thus come together on
terms provocative Of the love that leads to
the desire for marriage. In childhood they
may have been to one another almost as
brother and sister. but when they have
reached manhood and womanhood they
find that there has grown up in them a
natural sentiment radically different from
fraternal attachment. 1t Is possible for
them to marry. and the consciousness
Of this generates the desire to marry.
When man permits himself to entertain
such thoughts regarding a woman. more
especially in the romantic period OF his
life. they soon get the mastery over him.
In his eyes she alone among women has
Irresistible attraction. His fidelity to her
Is absolute. because for the time no other
feminine influence Is powerful enough to
divert the general love of man for woman
which he has concentrated ON partic-
ular woman. He may have been de-
voted son. yet now even his mother will
lose his confidence unless she accords with
his WILL lie may have been a reasonable
boy. but now no Is driven by the force
OF impulsive sentiment only. A fixed idea
has gained possession OF him; and opposi-
ton serves only to intensity his passion

which this passionate and unreasoning feel

be pleasant to find Ohio agreeing with the
rest OF the country. but the assumption
that the verdict given by single State

count against the great verdict Of 30 many

No Aid to Free Coinage.

This little dialogue spoken In the Senate
by the Hon. JOHN MoAULEY PALMER and
the Hon. GEORGE GRAHAM VEST Is full OF
the meat OF edlfying meditation for advo-
Gates Of the freer coinage Of silver:
"Mr. PALnxn-Hov does the snrnnAz law aid free
ooinagsf
"Mr. vHsr-I DO not think II does aid free coinage
mi. PALxHR-Then why not repsalnt
mr. vlsr-I an willing to have It repealed but DO
mot want Its repeal made stalking horse for mono
mstatlism."
II. as Mr.. VEST confesses, tho SHERMAN
act doesn't help free coinage. the repeal Of
tho SHERMAN act will not work any preju-
dice to free coinage. Instead OF being q
stalking horse to monometalllsm. repeal
might perfectly well BIO stalking horse
to Intelligent bimetallism. not the silver
recommendation which Mr.. VEST favors I'M
der the impression that he is bimetalllst,
but genuine blmetallism Us called for by
tho Republican and Democratic national
platforms. Tho feasibility OF consistent
scheme Of bimetallism supported by inter-
national agreement or otherwise mny be
problematical under present conditions:
but 1t seems to us that II the friends
Of the freer coinage Of silver cease
to resist the unanimous demand OF
business for the repeal Of tho purchase
clause OF the SHERMAN act. they will lose
nothing in the present. and they will gain
certain good will that may be highly useful
in attempting and carrying out future
schemes Of blmetallism.
Is 1t wise for the silver men to irritate
business by opposing repeal from the fear
that repeal may mean the permanent estab-
lishment Of gold monometalism?
