1t is no mark whatever of a gentleman
to swear, because the greatest prosti-
tutes in all the world swear as well
as the would be educated and refined.
1t does not require any particular art
or endowments to give finish to the
art of swearing or cursing. For the
lowest and meanest of human beings
swear with as much tact and skill as
the most refined. The man who
wishes to bring himself to the lowest
level of degradation shame and pollu-

swearer
The most ignorant man in all the

any the richer by it. There is no gain
in wisdom and | am sure none is made

does not help any man to advance in
education, nor does it assist him to be

to any one to society, but on the con
trary it is disgusting, abominable and
insulting to the refined. To the mind
it is improbable and degrading. 1t
is worthless and detrimental to good

Mr.. WIN. JENNINGS BRYAN, the de-
feated Popocratic candidate for Presi-
dent, is to visit Denver, Col, on the
24th inst, and inaugurate move
ment to continue the free silver ag-
itation for the campaign of 1900.
From Il personal standpoint Mr..
Bryan is making a mistake. The
country will weary of him long be
fore the approach of the first year in
the twentieth century. Politically,
if sustained by the Popocratic allies
of the Populists and Silverites, the
permanent disruption of the Demo
cratic party will result from the
movement. The platform of the
Sound Money Democrats is undOubt-
eddy most nearly in harmony with
the principles of jefferson and Jack
son, and the members of that party
who repudiated Reputation and
Altgeldism, to the extent of voting
for Mckinley or for Palmer, it mat
ters not which never can and never
will affiliate with the members of
their party who adhere to the free
silver heresy and the anarchistic de-
liverence of the Chicago convention.
There is no hope for Democracy as "a
free silver anti-law party.

An Omitted FOrmalitY.

Mai. Mckinley will never be Off
cially informed that he has been elec-
ted President of the United States.
In all the elaborate detail provided
by the constitution and the laws for
choice of Presidential electors the
manner of their voting, and the ascer-
tainment and announcement of the
result of their balloting, there is no
provision for acquainting the Presi-
dent-elect that he is the choice of the
nation. He receives no commission,
such as is issued to other officers of
the Government. The same is true
of the Vice President-elect.
The Electoral law passed by Con
gress after the disputed election of
1876 sets forth with minute detail the
course to be pursued in canvassing
the electoral vote The electors meet
at the stare capitols and prepare the
returns. Three sets of returns are
forwarded from each State to Wash
ington. They are guarded with great
care. On the appointed day the SEN
ators march over to the House, and,
in Joint session, with much formality,
every step in which is directed by law
the returns are canvassed. Then the
Vice President announces the names
of those chosen for President and
Vice President, of the term beginning
on the 4th of March. With that the
formalities end.
There is no danger, however, that
the men elected to these high offices
will remain uninformed. One means
of information was indicated by Sen
ator Edmunds, who was asked one
day how a man elected to the Presi-
dency was going to find it out. by
reading the newspapers" replied Mr..
Edmunds. It therefore behOoves
Messrs. Mckinley and Hobart to be-
come close readers of the newspapers
from this time forward. They may
find therein something to their ad
vantage.

The Presidents form of Office.

After every election OF president an
agitation is started for lengthening
the term of office of the nations chief
magistrate, for the reason that a
presidential campaign is detracting
and depressing to business This is
always true of presidential contest,
but the interference with industry has
been particularly marked in the cam
paign just closed. The usual uncer-
tainty attending the outcome of ma
tional election is sufficient to cause
men of capital to hesitate before put
ting their money into new enterprises
or charging existing ones. The dis
turbance to business has been I'M
usually severe during the last summer
because the issue involved was one of
tremendous Importance to business
| interests. But the difference between
this and other campaigns is simply
one of degree. With every recurring
presidential election business must
suffer more or less.
These contests follow each other too
closely. If elections took place less
| frequently business would be subject
to fewer disturbances from this cause.
Six years is not to long term for the
president of the United States to serve
especially if it be understood that he
shall retire at the end of that time
and not seek a reelection to the office.
A six-year term would give two
presidential elections in twelve years.
instead of three, as now. A four-year
term is too short. In the early DAYS
Of the republic the objections were
not so great to the shorter term Now
the very cost of presidential cam
paigns is an argument against having
them more frequently than to enable
the government to keep in touch with
the people.
In order to change the term of the
president it would be necessary to
amend the constitution of the United
States, something which it is very
difficult to accomplish. But the
change is Il desirable one, especially
for the business interests of the coun-
try, and it is to be hoped that before
many years it may be brought
about.

Another Great victory for silver.

Another Great Victory for Silver.
We have called attention before to
the vast amount of satisfaction the
silver men get out Of the election by
figuring out chow near" they came
to carrying this, that and the other
State; or what would have happened
if they had got few more thousand
votes here and few more thousand
votes there. They can point out
a dozen combinations by which by
merely changing a thousand votes
or so from Mckinley to Bryan the
very old smash would have been to
play with the goldbugs and the
money-pOwer. Kentucky is the
latest State upon which this kind of
a post-mortem examination is being
held. There a change of about 1870
votes would have given the State to
Bryan, and a silver man holds this
to show what a narrow margin there
was in the gold victory, and what a
splendid success the free-silver fight
was. He never stops to think that
by adopting the Chicago platform
the electoral vote of Kentucky was
simply thrown away. Before that
convention met it would have been

pies party in the next fight he will
have to drop the pretension ofNbeing

Peoples party joined forces with the
Democrats, and the Democrats again
played the people false, grossly and
brutally false Butler may disagree
with Tom Watson on some points, but
this appears to be an approval of
Watson's door mat theory. Butler is
right in his demand that Bryan be-
come an out-and-out Populist. The
Chicago convention was captured by
the Populists and the Democrats
found it necessary to hold conven-
ton at Indianapolis to maintain the
historic tenents of their party. Bryan
is a Populist and he will have to cease
masquerading as a Democrat.
