Republican. and silvsrlte..

The inquiry made elsewhere by the
Intelhgencer's old friend, Mr.. T. t.
Maxwell. concerning the course of
Chairman Carter, OF the national COM
msttee. Is very natural and is one which
has been made before. Mr., Maxwell
wants to know II, in view of Senator
Carriers silver course and the fact that
the Republican party. as an organiza-
ton, is for sound money. 1t is not in or
der for Mr.. Carter to step out OF the ma
tional Craftsmanship.
AS the campaign has not yet begun 1t
Is not a matter OF very great import
ance who holds the craftsmanship at
present. The duties Just now are al
most wholly confined TO preparations
for the national convention. The con-
venuon will elect a new committee.
which in all probability will elect a new
chairman Until that time Mr. Carter
viii serve. The new chairman will. as
matter of course, be in thorough ac-
cord with the Republican platform.
The free silver faction OF the Republi-
can party is not large enough to do 1t
any harm. 1t is confined almost en-
tirely to half dozen far western states
whose vote In the national convention is
insignificant compared with the entire
convention. It is not at all likely that
the Republicans In these states will cut
loose from the party. They are ardent
protectionists. even more so than they
are for free coinage. and the indications
are that on the latter issue many of
them have experienced change of
heart. When Senator Sherman stated
in the senate that there was growing
feeling OF doubt In the silver states as
70 the advantage OF free coinage" lie
expressed correctly the true situation.
The Republicans OF these states being
better protectionists than they are sill
verites. and being in line with the Re
publican party on all national ques-
lions, will not allow any selfish local in
terest 10 move them to abandon the
party. They do not see what they
would gain or what the country would
gain by them making possible Repubh-
can defeat. In spite Of the threats OF
one or two of their senators. who do not
represent much besides the mine own
ers, they may be depended upon to cast
their electoral votes for the Republican
ticket,

One OF the most significant political
incidents in this state is the desertion
from the Democratic ranks by the
Charleston Daily Gazette. which for
years has been the leading Democratic
organ in that part Of the state. II has
been the recognized exponent OF Demo-
cratic sentiment in the Kanawha valley
and is published by the states public
printer, MIR, Moses W. DonelIy, who has
held that position ever since the capital
was removed to Charleston.
II seems that the cause OF Mr.. Donel-
Tvs action in Withdrawing the support
OF his paper from the Democracy was
the attempt OF the Democratic leaders
to dlctate to him. He is n man who
does his own thinking. and It was but
natural that he should refuse TO sub
nit to the bosses, The Gazette has not
been In accord with the policy of the
Democratic party for some time past,
but 1t was not until yesterday that 1t
cut loose altogether and resolved to
hcnceforth pursue an independent
course.
This leaves thnt party without daily
organ at the Btntc capital and is embar-
raising to the leaders at this time when
the campaign is about to begin. The
incident furnishes another evidence Of
the demoraiIzcd condition in which the
West Virginia Democracy finds Itself,

To the Editor OF the Inteiligereer.
SIR:-The Republican party having
formulated It's doctrine for sound mo-
ney would not Its demand for the res
ignatlon OF Chairman Capter OF the
national committee. a man OF free silver
pToclivities, meet the approval OF the
sound currency people? Would u not
be better to elect q sound money Dem
ocrat instead OF free silver Repuoli-
can?
The next Congress must be for q
sound currency and ample revenues to
be met by protective duties, else direct
taxation caanot be avoided, because
II Will become an imperative necessity.
The former system the Republican
party Is committed TO. and 1t Is but
right and proper that the delegates
elected to the coming conventions OF the
party should be required to give their
views upon these questions in no I'M
certain manner. Il not, some trouble
may be given the convention as the
question OF the currency is again loom
Ing up. Please accept these thoughts
and let us have your opinion.

Ing 10 Many,
Lenten entertainments are occupying
the attention OF the fashionable girl
Just now. The New York Sun has the
following:

Lent" says the vlvacious debutante
who isn't going to st. Augustine for SIX
weeks and is not like her elder sister.
who has had n number OF seasons ana
looks upon Lent as n time OF rest,
She must do something, so she
searches the records and finds that
there are many things she may do with
perfect propriety. Although her grand
mother tasted and gave up all dalntiee
the granddaughter finds that it's just
luncheons and teas that make life
worth living this Lenten season. But
she must not make them formal lunch
cons, and they require care and fore
thought quite as much as her coming
out did.
Probably the first thing she has Will
be bicycle luncheon: for during Lent
her friends must have plenty OF sun
shine and pure air to counteract the
effects OF the electric lights and close
atmosphere OF the ballroom OF the
winter. Before luncheon they Will all
70 for spin UP the drive or boulevard
and back again.
AIlwlnter they ate this meal by candle
light, but now the dining room will be
flooded with sunshine. the table decora-
lions wifi be yellow, and the dozen
girls will sit down wearing new soft felt
hats and with rosy. cheeks. There will
be no cloth on the ncheon table. but
SQUARE plate doylld4. hemstitched and
embroidered In yellow tonqulls, wheat,
daifodils. and bnttercups. The rose
bowl In the centre will be filled with fat,
yellow tulips. The ice cream Will be q

chocolate young woman, boomers and
all.
Perhaps our hostess will next give
small dinner. She will ask the girls 10
wear white gowns, and the decorations
will be green and white; the flowers
lilies OF the valley. A pretty way to
seat the guests, II the table be wide
enough, is to have two persons Mt each
end. The lilies in the centre, with their
wealth OF green, are arranged In the
form OF a parallelogram, as round cen.
tre-pIeces are good form only on round
tables.
A pretty idea is TO make frame OF
the flowers for each plate, and connect
them with the hanging lamp by dozens
OF strings OF green and white baby RIB
hons. II will give May pole sort OF ef-
feet. II the hostess Is fortunate enough
to have green Dresden dinner set she
will use Il. The dinner will begin with
the oysters In their half shells, laid on
real sea moses, and end with creme de
minthe in little cut glasses.

The amenities of politics as they may
be when the new woman comes into
her own are forecast by an interesting.
but not over courteous. dispute between
the two Kansas Populist leaders. the
Hon. socsiess Jerry Simpson and Mrs.
Mary z. Lease, who has recently taken
to preaching the gospel. thereby
strengthening her moral influence as a
politician. The interesting feature OF
the dispute. which Is over their respec-
tive merits Us political leaders. Is that
the Honorable Jerry does not seem to
have much regard for the sex of his OPP
ponent, while Mrs. Lease strikes out
like man. though she uses her
womar's tongue as the weapon.
The Intelllgeaeer regrets TO state that
1t was the sockless statesman who be-
gan the attack. OF course, according
to the code OF polIteness which governs
the male sex In this country. this was
not chlvalrous. 1t would have been
more courteous to allow the woman to
have the first blow and 20 exercise her
womanly prerosative of getting in the
last word, hut as we have remarked. he
OF sockless fame is thorough be-
lever In the equality OF the sexes in
matters OF politics and stood upon no
fine question OF gallantry.
What the Honorable Jerry said was
In reference to Mrs. Leases appearance
in the pulpit. He declared that he was
glad she had gone to preaching and
hoped she would conclude to retire from
politics. because she was a disturbing
element there. This was bad enough.
but this undiplomatic PopuliSt went
further. He intlmated that Mrs. Lease
aspired to be political boss. She
wants to be the great 4 am all the
time" were the words he used. He said
much more in this strain and paused for
areply.
II the gentleman who rose to fame on
a platform the corner stone OF which
was that he possessed no socks expected
this blow to knock out his rival for the
Popullstic leadership. he was mistaken.
Mrs, Lease was loaded for bear. meta
phoricaIly speaking. and came back at
the Indlscreet Jerry In this wise: Life
is too short and my time too fully occu-
pied to pay attention to every barking
cur and step on every crawling worm
that crawls across my path"
Everybody will agree that Mrs. Lease
UP to the present has the best of 1t and
the interested Kansaus are waiting
breathlessly for the Honorable Jerry's
return blow. Is he going to rest under
the imputatlon that he is a barking cur
and a crawling worm? His manly In
stlncts might dictate to him to let the
woman have the last word. had she
been content to call him either a barking
cur or a crawling worm. but for her 10
intimate that he is both at one and the
same time may be too much for his
human nature.
Will the barking cur bite. or the
crawling worm turn There is an old
adage that "a barking dog never bites"
but there Is another adage which says
the worm will turn" 1t is for the dis
tinguished statesman devoid OF socks
to express by his future course whether
he Is a crawling worm or n barking cur.
In the meantime the Populist party in
Kansas Is wondering what effect the
situation IS going to have on the for
tunes OF the party.

A BOONE RANG.
Criminal Action Develops Into a Civil Action
A RecaIcitrant Storekeeper.

1t will be rememembered that few
week 5 ago, a case was brought against
W. Fl. Rhoadas, who keeps store on
Cony street, for receiving a valise and
some clothes from one Frank Gilman. a
criminal action was made against him
for having knowingly received stolen
goods
1t was found that the goods were not
stolen, and an action of search and seizure
was made hy Gilman, to recover the
property.
The case passed from the criminal to
the civil court, and it was decided by
Judge Andrews that Rhoades must give
up the property, and pay the costs.
Now Rhoades claims that Gilman
should not have caused search and
seizure to be made upon him, and has
brought suit against him for malicious
prosecution.

sweetest quality. If any have supposed
that Miss Yaw, with her marvellous range,

much mistaken. Her voice throughout its
entire range is sweet, expressive and sym
pathetic She reaches the highest and
lowest notes with much less effort than
the ordinary singer and sustains them
with faultlcss accuracy.
