DISCRIMINATION.

We quote further today from Sem
ator Blackburn's statement with
reference to his position upon the
currency question:
81 agree with Daniel Webster, who
in his day and even to this day was
and is still held to be something OF
an authority as a constitutional
lawyer. He declared that the con-
stitution of the United States made
gold and silver the redemption
money of this country and that
neither Congress nor any State had
any rightful power to substitute any
nor to destroy either the one or the
other of these metals. If Congress
had the power to demouetize silver,
it must be conceded that it had the
same powers to demonetize gold. 1t
has seen fit to exercise this assumed
power as to one of these metals
Had it exercised the mepower over
the other the anomalous and some
what embarrassing condition would
have obtained that we would not
have any money at all. Ii they
could strike down half, they could
strike down all.
81 am in favor of the restoration
of the silver metal at q ratio of 16 to
I, believing, in the light OF an ex-
perience that covers a century, such
ratio will establish and maintain
permanently the parity between che
two metals. believe that we should
take this action at the earliest day
possible, independent Of the policies

OFF THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic platform will have
to be changed before either gold bugs
or siIverites can lay claim to simon
pure Democracy. The platform de-
clares in favor of bimetallism and it
occurs to us that the administrati ton
has stepped off the platform and in
augam ated a policy Of its own in
devising a campaign for SO called
ssound money" which is understood
to mean in this case the adoption of
the single gold standard. National
Democracy, at the last convention,
expressed itself as follows:
1--WE hold to the use of both gold
and silver as the standard money of
the country, and TO the coinage OF
both gold and silver without dis
criminal ting 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 in
sure 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; and we demand that all paper
currency shall be kept at par with
and redeemable in such coin"

Be Sure to Get Hoods
Chickens as Weather Prophets
PHILADELPHIA Record

A grizzled and gray Montgomery
county farmer formed one of a group
of men who were discussing weather
signs in the Terminal Market yester-
day. 81 always know when there is
to be a windstorm," he said, "by
watching the turkeys and chickens
go to roost each night. In calm
weather the fowls always roost on
their poles their heads alternating
each way; that is, one faces east, the
next west, and SO on. But when
there is going to be a high wind they
always roost with their heads to-
wards the direction from which it is
coming. There are reasons for these
different ways of roosting, l take it.
When there is no wind to guard
against they can see other danger
more readily if they are headed in
both directions, but when wind is to
arise they face it because they can
hold their positions better. But the
part l can't understand" he con-
cluded, sis how the critters know the
wind is going to rise when we mortals
lack all intimation of it.

FASHION NOTES.
A Few Don'ts Taken From the Book
of Dress.


of Dress.
N. Y. Cor Richmond Dispatch.
AS to b'ouses, or the wonderful
things that travel under that name,
or under fancy bodice ONE OF
them are most gorgeous. There was
| a time when odd bOdices were very
Fsimple, and. to speak the truth,
rather homely affairs; but this can
not be SAID of the odd bodices of
today.
All, that is to say, all for anything
like dressy occasions, are splendid,
being made OF striped, plaid and
fiowery silks, and, in many cases,
decorated with real lace and bits of
glittering beaded trimming that
have been known to cost as little as
$12 the yard
Don't be discouraged, however, as
the very daintiest of the fancy
bodices, though equally as effective,
show much less expensive garnitures.
EFFECTIVE PLAIDs.
An adorable one, illustrated. is of
pompadour plaid silk, all pink and
blue lines and dewy pink roses, white
moussel line de sole. yellow valencien
mes and narrow black satin ribbon.
The chemisette is of the mousseline
de sole barred with tiny ruchings of
the valenciennes; the dark edge on
the full, outstanding bust ruching Is
the black ribbon, which also out
lines the folds of the bias girdle, that
is sewed at the left in the uLder-arm
seam, the other end meeting there,
after girdling the body, peasant
waist fashion, in the pulled shirring.
A bodice a shade less partyfed.
but none the less ravishing. is
realized in white china silk scattering
with the pale ghosts of violets. 1t
has curious collar and long cuffs
that may be notice in the design;
this unique garniture is white or
candle, cut in swirl PANEL pieces and
edged with yellow valenciennes. The
pieces overlap at the throat, con-
tinuing over the collar band in an
unbroked line, giving the effect of
cape collar separate from the bodice.
Here are a few "don'ts' taken at
random from the Book of Dress:
Don't wear a Dutch bonnet simply
because it is fashionable. Don't
part your hair in the middle, unless
you nave Tue PRONE Oh d. SiSuIuc
Madonna. Don't, if you have a
sallow skin, comb your hair down
over your ears until you look like a
Botticelli virgin painted in the if
teenth century. Don't wear the new
toothpick, patent-leather shoes, they
will make you walk like a lame pea.
cock and send the blood to your
nose. Don't wear white gloves if
your hands are big. Don't think
that because you can't accomplish a
tailor gown you can't coddle up the
dainty, Frenchy little frocks now the
rage. Don't wear pink if you are a
dingy brunette, or yellow if you are
diDgy blonde Don't wear light
stockings if you have thick ankles.
And now the most meaning don't
of them all, CURLY put and worthy of
the wisdom of Solom himself:
Don't" concludes the Book of
Dress, "keep all your good clothes
for your women enemies; wear them
sometimes for the man who loves
you"

Week Ending April 9Th.
The weather during the past week
has been particularly fine for farm
work, and as consequence receipts
on the Winston leaf market were COM
paratively light. 1t was not necessary
TO run double sales.
The offerings showed no improve
ment in general character, but prices
were rather better in medium goods
and even the cOmmoner grades sold a
little higher. Wrappers were taken
at about the same figures as have
ruled for some time. They have been
high for several months.
Old stock was in more demand. Very
good prices were obtained.
The shipment of manufactured to-
baccos from this city during the week
was quite heavy, as indeed it has been
all the month. The business this
April will show an increase over the
same month last year.
1t is thought that about two-thirds
of the 1894 crop in this neighborhood
has passed out of the growers hands.

The Chronicle staff correspondent,
now on the ranges in the Indian

what the Chronicle has maintained
all along, that the high price of beef
to consumers is not due to a scarcity
of cattle, but to a com bination of the
cattle barons, know as the Big -Four.

1t was announced the first of last

Jones still denies any participation
in or knowledge of the robbery. He
admits s. 300 shortage and has made a

The doors of the bank have been
closed and the State Treasurer noti-

If all the express companies would
follow the example of Wells. Fargo
& Co., lottery schemes would receive
a staggering blow, from which they
could scarcely recover. The San
Francisco Call says: "The peremp-
tory order issued by Wells, Fargo &
Co., forbidding the employees of the
express to receive or forward any
ticket or advertiseman t of a lottery,
will go long way toward putting
an end to lottery gambling on this
coast. The success of such schemes
depends on the ability of the man
ayers to reach large numbers of peo-
pie. When the mails were closed
against them they turned to the ex-
press companies. but now that the

Correspondence of the Sentinel.
SHoaF, April 29.-Quite a happy
and successful surprise was rendered
Mrs. Robt Tate last Friday upon
the anniversary of htr 54th birthday
About seventy five OF her kindred
and friends met exactly at 10 O'Clock
and marc he'd in a solid phalanx
down to the house and upon discov.
ering the throng of merry visitors
Mrs. Tate was overwhelmed with
joyous surprise and qualification.
A long table was arranged in the
open yard under the shade trees and
dinner spread thereon that was
equal to the very best in quality and
quantity. Splendid music rang out
and echoed and re echoed through
the laughing and joking audience
1t was most delightful event and
both young and old seemed reioiced
at the pleasure and privilege of being
present. May Mrs. Tate's life be as
free from sorrow as the occasion OF
her 54th birthday was full of enjoy
| ment.

SPEAKER CRISP comes out en-
phatically in favor Of the re-estab-

gold He says "the majority of the
American people in both political
o ,rties are in favor of the rpstora-
ton of the free coinage of silver !"
He says, further. "this great tinan-
cial question, which has come to Us
side-hy- side with the tariff question,
will be settled likewise by the Demo
cratic party" Mr.. Crisp thinks the
next platform of the Democratic
party should be plain and direct,
and adds: Whatever room existed
for different constructions of the
platform of 1892 should no longer
exist, and for this purpose that to be
adopted in 1896 should be so plain
that even "A schoolboy could under
stand it."

The income tax law may be still
further mutilated. Argument Tor a
rehoaring of the case before full
bench of the Supreme Court will be
heard on the 9th Of May. Unless h :
present decision is modified it will be
better, probably, to wipe the whole
thing out, as many of those best
able to pay the tax now escape the
provisions of the law. As it stands,
the tax is largely one upon produc-
tion and not npon the incomes from
accumulated wealth. Therefore, it
has been made unfair and unjust.

RUSSIA is shaking her fist at Japan
and it now appears that the Jap
anese- Chinese treaty of peace does
not mean serenity among our East
ern brethren. A dispatch from St.
Petersburg to the New York Herald
says: The conviction gains ground
in official circles that the Russian
government is about to address a
strongly worded communication to
Japan intimating that no territorial
acquisitions from the Celestial EN-
pire will be tolerated. If the Jap

There is no concealing the fact that
Russian feeling is strongly adverse
