By way of Breaking the Ice.

The clumsy and untactful speeches made in
society are only too apparent to the observer
who will keep ears and wits on the alert. An
incident which occurred at one of the cabinet
receptions shortly before March 4 illustrates
this tendency, says Kate Field Washington.
1t was at the residence of the Secretary of
the Navy where Mrs. Wilmerding stood with
her customary dignity to receive callers, Sud
denly into the assemblage like breath from
the prairies, sailed the wife of Senator K,
whose happy gOlucky speeches have fur
niShed abundant source of amusement
throughout her residence in Washington.
With sweeping glance about the apartment
she extended her hand to the hostess, saying
in a far-reaching voice: ..t
My dear Mrs. Wilmerding, do you know
why you put me in mind OF cows tatl?'
Then, without waiting for an answer, she
passed with little laugh to the tea room,
where her entrance happily proved the signal
for animated chatter, ....-...-
Mystified by the conundrum propounded to
the hostess, one of her friends followed the
breezy visitor, saying:
What did you mean by your speech to Mrs.
Wilmerding-why does she remind you Of a

Bad Time to Laugh.

AS matter of fact boy never
should laugh at his father until he (the boy)
is is years of age at least. Earlier than that
according to the Minneapolis Tribune, it Is
not safe. A hoy over near the university has
for several evenings stood up to eat his meals
and all because he neglected the above rule of
conduct. His father takes great pride in a
HambletOnian colt he is raising, The old man
fairly delights in pottering around the stable,
and he can hardly wait until that colt is
years old and trOts a mile to harness in 2:051l,
as it surely will. The other morning the
pater was fusSing around in an old silk hat
and equally venerable greatcoat pitchfork in
hand, and while he was working about the
colts heels the boy gave the animal its feed.
The colt does not allow any familiarities
while feeding, and when the old
man, in a STOPPING position, backed
up against him, the colt lashed out with both
feet. The man stood so near that the kick
broke no bones, but he was shot as from a
catapult right through the clapboards on the
side of the barn. His head was driven through
his tile and when he eXtricated himself from
the splinters the rim of his headgear hung
around his neck like ruff. He regarded the
whole business as rough, and delivered an
Grafton through his hat which the boy re-
garded as amusing. The yOungster laughed.
First he stood and laughed, then he lay down
and laughed, and rolled over and over and
Rugged himself and still laughed. But when
that devoted father got clear from the wreck
age he seized the nearest strap, and the boy
has not smiled once since. The boy knows
now that he is not big enough to laugh at his
father o.

Of course, to dissolve the Reichstag and
appeal to tine country Us often as he
pleases. but it would be folly for him to
continue appealing to the people to sus-
tain him if he had no good reason for ex-
pecting success.
The truth is, the German people are
none too loyal to Imperialism. The desire
for a representative government among
them is remarkably strong, and it is
steadily growing stronger. 1t is even a
question whether the struggle that
has been going on between
the emperor and the people ever since the
question of increasing the army was
raised is so much an indication of the op-
position of the people TO a larger army as
it is of settled purpose on their part
that the Reichstag shall do their will in
stead of the will of the emperor In other
words, their opposition to the army bill
is, in fact, opposition to Imperialism.
The emperor does not seem to realize
how great the demand for representa-
tive government, in fact as well as
in name, has become. He holds
to the idea that he is everything and the
people are nothing. 1t may be that the
result of Thursdays elections will teach
him lesson that will make him under
stand that the sentiments of his people
have undergone, and are still undergoing,
changes in respect to imperialism, and
that he must rule by their consent rather
than by his own will.
Bismarck, in letter the day before the
elections, pointed out a way by which the
emperor might get out of his unpleasant
position. He said that future battles in
Europe will be won by artillery If what
he says is correct what Germany wants
is not more men in her army, but better
guns. 1t is not improbable that the
Reichstag that has just been elected
would vote money for the making of bet
ter guns, but, unless the returns show a
result different from that now expected
it will notvote the means necessary to
enlarge the army

Tho Columbia Rcrister insists upon its
own Interpretation ~ the statement Of
thc MoRNuc News relative % the cfTect

whole country for the repeal of The Sher-
man silver purchase act might have upon
courrcss. and as 30 doesn't appear 90 want
. 20 he convinced that 10 is wrong 80 Is usc-
less To pursue that matter further But
. iu the course Of its article defending its
Interpretation 10 takes occasion 20 make
the following statement:
The only difference between the views
of the two paper is that the NEWS wants
unconditional repeal of the sherman act,
which would place this COuntry's cur
rtncy on the single gold standard basis,
while the Register desires repeal Of the
sherman act. which is an unsatisfactory
compromise and "a cowardly makeshift, -
and the substitution for il of free coinage
OF silver. The democratic national plat
form. while IL dcnomces the Sherman
act and declares for its repeal, also de
mands free coinage of silver.
If we are not mistaken the currency Of
this country is now on "the gold standard
basis The repeal of the Sherman silver
purchase act would not, therefore, change
the situation, so far as the basis of the
currency is concerned. But what we
would like the Register to answer is this {:
Does it stand squarely on the financial
plank of the national democratic plat
formf If it does, the MORNING News has
no fault to find with it. The platform
says: 1--WE hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun-
try, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver, without discriminating against
either metal, or charge for mintage, but
the dollar unit of coinage of both metals
must be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value, or be adjusted
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
the two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debts"
Our understanding is that the Register
demands the free coinage of silver at the
present ratio of IS to of a silver dollar
that is now intrinsically worth about Ga
cents, and which would not be accepted
for more than that amount if its coinage
was made free. If this is the Registers
position, the difference between it and
the MORNING News is not that stated by
the Register, but it is that the MORNING
News favors the sound currency called
for by the national democratic platform,
and the Register favors a debased cur
rency.
If, however, the Register approves the
financial plank of the national democratic
platform and demands the free coinage of
a silver dollar that shall have the same
power in the markets and in the payment
of debts as gold dollar, then we do not
see any great difference between the views
of the Register and those of the MORNING
News on the silver question. Does the
Register favor the coinage of a silver dol
lar worth only 81 cents or one that is
equal to gold dollar in value2
