Amcricn'n Debt to Ernncc.

To the Editor of the New York Sun:
Sir: IL the societies OF the American
Revolution mean anything, ii Is TO COM
memorate the principal events and heroes
in the war Of independence. 1t Is incon-
ceivable to Franco-Americans that not
a single anniversary pertaining TO the
credit OF Lafayette or France Is recog-
nized at all. How is it possible. we ask,
for the Sons OF the American Revolution
TO forget the Sons of France, without
whose gallant aid the republic was i'm
possible? Given. too, without remunera-
ton or compensation. France, our only
friend, got nothing, while we gained as
a heritage the republic.
Surely. the least to be done as mark
OF gratitude to Lafayette and France Is
for these societies TO observe. in some
shape. the birthday OF Lafayette. Sep
TENDER 10th: May 9Th; news Of alliance,
and. most important OF all, October 18th,
anniversary OF. the surrender of York
town--death blow Of the Revolution. the
birth of the republic Until one Of these
anniversaries is duly observed COM
mensurate with the dignity Of a grateful
people. the societies Of the Sons Of the
American Revolution will have no right
to boast OF their loyalty to the nations
benefactors.
Just now, for instance, and first in
order. Is May 9Th. 1t was on May g..
IT'S. that the news Of the French alliance
was received a Valley Forge, causing the
widest excitement in the army, and the
whole day set aside, by order of Wash
ingtoD. for military saluteS and
manoeuvres i'm every way, too long TO
mention here. as expressive Of the Ameri-
can gratitude TO France, closing with q
signal given to the whole army TO huzza,
Long live the King Of France! From
that moment the whole morale OF the
army was lifted from despair to exulta-
ton, and so continued throughout the
war; leading to the victory Of yorktown,
October -, ISL. Wherefore let US hope
that these historic societies will see TO it,,
and al least once a year give some mni-
festatlOn Of gratitude 10 Lafayette and
| France, the nations only friend when
most needed. In all Of which | trust
the able and liberal Sun will concur.

Mckinley on the Double Standard.

NEW 1oFk sum-
What does John Sherman mean when
he tells the Young Republicans OF Brook
lyn that Major Mckinley, Of Ohio. us
committed in every form, by speech and
otherwise. to the Republican policy Of
maintaining the present gold coin of the
United States as the standard OF value" =?
Does he mean to give the idea to the
sound money Republicans Of the East
that Mckinley Is a sound money, gold
standard man? There can be no doubt"
says Mr. Sherman. "as 70 the opinion
Of Major Mckinley on the money ques-
ton"
Most voters will prefer to learn Major
McKinleys opinions from his own lips
He is a statesman who does not expend
many positive words upon subjects which
he finds politically inconvenient. Yet It
happens that upon the question Of a
single or a double standard he has once
expressed himself with unusual distinct
ness.
Il am for the largest use OF silver in
the currency OF the country. / would not
dishonor it; / would give it equal credit
and honor with gold. / would make
no discrimination. ! would utilize both
metals as money and discredit neither.
l want the double standard"
These are Mr. McKinley's own words
uttered on the floor Of the House Of
Representatives on June q. 1890. They
may be found on page 6H7 Of Volume q
of the Congressional Record They con-
tain a direct statement Of what he wants
He wants the double standard. and the
double standard, at the present ratio OF
16 TO /, means a single standard, a silver
standard. and a 5O-cent dollar.

The point in support Of the unit rule
that the state votes as unit in the eiec-
toral college, is not, we think, well TAKEN
The cases are different. The laws proNiIe
that all the presidential electors shaI Dc
elected by a plurality vote OF all the peo-
rIo ~ the State. Assuming the election
NJ all the electoral candidates. upon
one marty ticket or another, all OF them
are committed to the support of the party
candidates and are In honor bound 10
vote accordingly; but there is no law
oxcept the law Of honor, to compel them
20 vote the party ticket after having
been elected to their high and important
trust But Il sometimes happens ths
mart of the electoral candidates on two
or. more party tickets are elected, IN
which case the State does not vote as
unit as any one may learn for himself
bv consulting the history of recent presi-
dental elections.
In the case of delegates TO a party con-
vention there is no sound rule OF sense
or reason requiring them 10 vote as a
unit. A State convention elects but four
delegates to a national convention; all
the others-twenty in the State of Nir-
ginia-are elected two from each dis
trict. IL the delegates are to be con-
trolled at all by lhslrucuons' the poilVS

FOLLOW HALIFAX IN THIS.

The Norfolk Landmark continues to
nrre vigorously the unwisdom Of adopt
Ing the unit rule at stanton. In its issue
Of Yesterday 1t says that the great oppo-
sition throughout the State, as voiced by
the press and number of party leaders
ought 10 warn the advocates OF free silver
nat they will make grave mistake II
they take advantage Of their greater num-
Der in thie matter. Our desire, adds our
contemporary, is to express our disap-
pro.al OF a plan which we firmly believe
will cause dangerous friction In the
ranks of the party.
That IS the sound position Better
divided delegation at Chicago than a
aivided party at home. There is no quos-
lion that If the unit rule shall be en-
forced In the State Democratic Conven-
ton. that action will carry with 1t great
Hanger of heart burnings. In sticking TO
the old rule and paying due consideration
10 the rights of the minority lies safety.
Not only DO many Of our State contem-
poraries recognize this, but papers out
side Of the State are beginning 10
prophesy party decentralization in Vir-
pinia as the result of an attempt to apply
the gag law" 1t is needless to say that
there is nothing more calculated 10 IN
cense the average Virginia Democrat than
the idea suggested in that expression.
Virginia Democrats can be led but any
thing that conveys the impression OF
boseism is utterly repugnant to them. II
would be well for future county meetings
FOR the election of delegates to stanton
TO bear this in mind, TO the end that they
follow the lead OF Halifax. and pronounce
against the unit rule.

. SPECIAL CONVENTION.

Yes; wen have to answer the Republic
can convention. So say most OF our
Democratic State exchanges.
Reference is made to the cheeky
asseverations of the Republicans as to
our Legislatures purpose in providing Tor
a vote on the question Of calling con-
ventlon TO revise and amend the State
Constitution.
We think our people will be Of one mind
as to the duty of the Stanton convention
TO deny the false charges that the Ike
publlcans have brought against US
After this has been done 1t may be
question with the convention whether IL
should then and there declare for or
against constitutional convention, OF
should arrange for the assembling OF d
special state Democratic convention 10
be held in March, 1897. to deal with the
subject.
Ii would be well for our people to give
this matter thorough attention. AS yet
the desirability Of having special con-
vontjon has not been much discussed
How do our brethren Of the press IKE
the idea Of a special convention?
For our part, we think a special
convention might be advisable in the
event that the stanton convention is so
occupied with other matters that 1t can
not give the subject that deliberate and
statesmanlike attention its impor-
tanee demands. OF course, if the staun-
ton convention has the leisure to dispose
Of the subject, it would be much better
for it to do so. In any event. IL must
make some sort Of reply to the raise
charges of the Republican convention.

No Kiss from the Mayor.
CNew Yorl. Letter.

Mayor Strong performed another mar
riage ceremony and on one occasion at
least waived his right to kiss the bride.
The couple were fashionably attired col
ored folks. The bridegroom was Frank
Wyche, a Virginia farmer. who came
North TO claim the hand of Lizzie Bick,
Of No. 1O9 west Twenty-seventh street.
Lizzie wore a gray costume, with white
lace fichu. white lace veil, and a black
nat. profusely decorated with red and
yellow flowers. Frank was deliberately
attired in a long-tailed suit Of black,
white tie. and white cloth gloves. The
bridesmaid Paterson. and j. j. Scott, the
best man, were also dressed in style.
After the ceremony the Mayor merrily
wished the newly welded pair success and
happiness and remarked that they were
the first of their race TO be married by
him. AS the party turned to leave his
Honor's presence the bridegroom gave the
bride resounding smack that might
have been heard at the Brooklyn Bridge
entrance The bride was born in North
Carolina. but has lived for some time in
New York. Wyche is a native of Nir-
ginia, and said he owned twenty acres
down thar. all fenced in" They were
children of slave parents.

In the Lacey opinion, delivered the Day
before yesterday, in which the Supreme
Court of Appeals sustains the Maupin
law. the court "sits down." so to speak,
on the use Of "etc." in the titles of legis-
latiye bills. The court says that
"and so-forth" so employed means no.
thing. Correct. and, moreover "etc.
ought not TO be used anywhere in law
When Shelton c. Davis was CLERK Oh
the Virginia Senate he earnestly fought
against the ."etc." folly, and succeeded
in eliminating it from bills in scores
NJ cases: but, Of course, his efforts were
not wholly efectual. Colonel Davis was
the old clerk 10 whom we have OFTEN
referred as the dispenser Of snuff 10
senators. As long as he lived there was
a senatorial snuff-box, of the capacity
Of a mint or more, and Davis made the
naoes take It around TO senator's FOR
Them TO help themselves at intervals du-
ring the proceedings OF the Senate. The
custom fickered for awhile after DaVlss
death and then died out Instead OF
taking snuff, senators nowadays retire
70 their stuffy little cloak-room, and
there smoke their cigars, cigarettes
etc" The tobacco habit is as strong
az ever in the Senate, but it has changed
its form OF late years.
