that whitney win not be a candidate
under any possible conditions of any
name or nature; that he will not sur
render his business interests for the
sake Of the office. AID that the presi-
dency does not attract him. You may
rest assured" Mr. whitney is quoted
by this close personal friend
as saying, that my name will not
head the democratic presidential ticket
next year"
The newspaper reporters are wearing
Mr.. whitney out. The regularity with
which the Whitney denial comes is get
ting to be entertaining. 1t Is not the
oldest feature in current politics-the
funniest thing of the season Is the zeal
with which certain professed free-coin-
age republicans keep up the prophecy
that the republican party will nominate
Senator Cameron next year-that Is
the most hilarious bit of humor that is
going. Still. the bi-monthly denials
from Mr.. Whitney are getting to be
amusing; it's no wonder that he has
reached the point where a ''close per-
sonal friend" is brought in to do the
talking.

Two Sides TO II.

The Russian czarina is a mother.
Last week all the papers had It that
she was about to die as the result of
an heroic operation which was found
TO be imperative. 1t appears that there
was not a shadow of foundation for
this report; the news is that it's a girl,
that all went well and that mother
and child are fiourishing.
You can get any kind of gossip you
want respecting royal life in Europe's
capital cities; the outside world knows
next to nothing concerning the daily
life of the crowned heads. The result
Is that romancing respecting them can
take any turn that suits fts fancy. and
everything goes. .-t
Here on the desk in the Standard Of
fee are two well known. American
newspapers with more about the czar
and his wife. One Is two-column
account OF their courtship,sof the Incl
dents that resulted in their acquains-
ance; Of the early life 81 the grand
daughter of Queen Victoria: of the
many virtues of Princess Alice. the
girls mother; of the Joys incident to
child-life in the modest palace at Darn
stadt; of happy marriage year ago
next Tuesday; of the distinguished de-
votion Of the car during the twelve
month; and of a royal life for the Ger
man princess, that is sunshine every
day in the year.
The other newspaper makes out for
the car the meanest record ever scor-
ed by the husband OF woman. IL re-
cites that the ear resisted the mar
riage to the last and that his bride
made unavailing pleading to be per
mitted to avoid the union: that a. tomb
in the churchyard is more welcome
abode than the Imprisonment inflicted
on the czarina; that she has not sat at
her husbands table IN six months; that
her favorite companions and attend
ants. through the grim jealousy OF
German influence cherished by the
cars mother, have been expelled from
Russia; in short that the czarina leads

me New York Central Affair.

One cannot account for the Juvenile
depravity that resulted In the recent
terrible disaster to a New York Central
passenger train. Rushing along in the
night at a speed of sixty miles an hour.
the train suddenly left the rails and
plunged over an embanlkment: out of
an almost inextricable wreck. several
dead and wounded were lifted. Invest
igation proved that the rails had been
torn up with deliberate purpose TO
speed the passenger train to its de-
struction. Prompt pursuit of the clews
fixed the responsibility for the crime
on a brace of boys who were arrested.
Yesterdays news was that the boys
have made full confession.
Were this remarkable crime to be a
charge to the Wild West. the newspa-
pers would be prompt with their strict
ures ON the evil tendencies of things
social and moral in the Rocky mount
ain region. Had the crime been coma
mitted in Silver Bow county, we sup
pose that it would be charged to open
gambling or whatever else that Is bad
in Butte. But how will you account
for this CHASTITY crime with boys as It's
principals in a steady-going community
like the one that was the scene of the
disaster? 1t is a horrible crime-the
ordinary hold-up is mot to be mention
ed in comparison with II. And when
one considers the age of the criminals
or reflects on the motive that could in
spire them with such rare humanity,
the case presents many perplexing
features.

as is the case with other plants and with
insects. The hot and damp parts of the
West Indies and of Madagascar. the
moist forests OF Brazil and the western
part Of Mexico furnish the majority of
the orchids which, since the middle of
the century. have been so highly priced
both here and In Europe.
When first introduced these beautiful
flowers commanded such extravagant
prices that none but the wealthy could
possess them: but Yankee enterprise has
altered this. and while some rare speci-
mems still command enormous prices, yet
many orchid flowers may now be pur-
chased for about the same figure as the
best roses.-Lawrence Irwell In December

ORCHIDS.

In the eastern cities the orchid seems
to be the fashionable flower; II has
grown rapidly In popularity. and the de-
sire OF the florists to keep pace with the
demands of the public has not only
brought into the market number of
new varieties. but has also reduced the
price OF the commoner kinds.
Dame Fashion might have made a
much worse selection. for in all the floral
kingdom there is nothing to compare
with orchids for conspicuous shapes
magnificent coloring and fragrant per-
fume.
Ten years ago little was known. ex-
cept by experts. about the way In which
orchids grew. and they were generally
regarded as costly flowers. IN most cases
resembling some insect. such as a butter
fly. When first introduced they were
called air-plants. because some OF them
send out roots which require no earth
as a covering. aa & 2
Orchids are found all over the world.

More About That Book.

All of the gossip that follows the
publication of John Sherman's book is
interesting. and there's lots of 1t. APP
parently, Mr.. Sherman's notion in writ
ing this book was to square himself
with several people in public life with
whom he has had personal differences.
When II comes to the writing of
books. some men are more clever than
others-Blaine was better at the bust
ness than Sherman has proved to be.
Blaine wrote a terrible summing up for
a few men like Carl Schurz-Schurz is
sort of tramp politician. and he mer-
tied what Blaine gave him. But as a
whole a candid spirit with broad recog-
milton OF useful service rendered by his
enemies in public life runs through
Blaine's book. Sherman is blunt and
more prejudiced.
At any rate. Senator Sherman is out
with a chip ON his shoulder. He wants
the men whom he criticised to talk
back. He made a broad slap at Mr..
Platt, and he told a newspaper repor-
ter the other day that he was anxious
to hear. what answer Plat can make;
the controversy involves the national
republican convention of 1883. Sher-
man believed he was going to capture
the Observation-Disclosures got IL.
When the Sherman book was an
nounced as ready to go to the public.
the Standard told the story. Briefly,
Plat threw his strength to Harrison.
A little later 1t was openly avowed
that. in return. Plat was to be secre-
tary of the treasury. but that after
election Harrison went back on the
deal. Sherman charges that Platt's
support of Harrison involved a "cor-
rupt bargain"
Some people will think that, when
the time comes for writing up the his
tory of this country the facts and the
truth will be obscured because Of the
prejudice that marks memoirs like
those of Senator Sherman. Yet, withal,
It is better that the men who have fig
ured ccnspfcuously in public life should
put their experience into print. One of
these men is Mr.. Sherman. In the light
of his own book he will be judged as
a man who is rather captious, whose
failure to reach the presidency harmed
the country not a whit. whose public
services in certain directions have been
of considerable account but whose
makeup is not of the kind that makes
for some men in public life a place in
the popular heart.
