HER nth BIRTHDAY.

Queen Victoria was n years old yes
terday. Aside from her rheumatism, or
govt. or whatever it is, the venerable
lady is as hale and hearty as ever, and
may live twenty years yet. Indeed, 1t
is not beyond the range of possibilities
that she may outlive Prince Albert
Edward. That would be pretty rough
years. The queen is taking the best of
care of herself. and barring accidents
her doctors are reasonably sure of pro-
longing her life well into the TWEEN
tieth century. Prince Albert Edward
would do well to put himself into a
similar course of training IL he expects
ever TO get a chance at the throne.
Victoria is not the oldest ruler in
Europe-the king Of Denmark enjoys
that distinction. He is 70. The king
OF Sweden and Norway, Oscar H., is in
the 9th year of his age The emperor
of Austria, Francis Joseph l., will be
&C years old in August next. and he has
sat on his throne for As years. The king
of the Belgian, Leopold H., is in the
ed year OF his age. The king of Sax
ony is in his 69th year. The king of
Italy, Humbert l., is in the SD year of
his life. The king of the Hellenes.
George l., is 81 years old. and has ruled
Greece for S3 years. The sultan of
Turkey. Abdul Hamid H., is 81, and
has been the ruler of the Turkish en-
pire for 20 years. The king of Rou-
mania, Charles l.. is in the 5Sth year of
his age.
Some of the monarchs Of Europe are
kids as compared with these older
crowned heads. The emperor of Ger
many is 81; the king of Portugal SO;
the car of Russia, 2s; the king of Ser
via, 20: the queen of the Netherlands,
II. and the king of Spain, 10.

PIatt Getting Back at Miller.

New York, May Pax Senator Platt
gave out a statement tonight, in part,
as follows: 1.-THE business men of the
country may confidently rely upon
their views being executed at st.
Louis, both as to the maintenance of
the gold standard and as to the nomi-
nation of a candidate who can appro-
prately stand on a gold platform.
New York will present such a candi-
date and the vote of this state will be
cast almost unanimous. / observe Sem
ator Miller in a recent interview says
that l have no commission to speak for
our delegation on that point. 1t Is
small matter whether / have or not
The important thing is the fact He.
for instance, having been elected
delegate at Governor Morton's request,
having attended the conference at
which ii was resolved to place Morton
in the field, having been the first man
there to advocate that action and the
first man to proclaim to the world by
formal interview when the conference
adjourned, he, of course, will be the
governors staunchest supporter in the
convention. He says l must not speak
for him, but l can certainly recall his
record in that matter and can at least
express enough confidence in his char
acter as a man to say that he will keep
faith with himself and make good his
promises. What is true of Mr.. Miller
in this respect is similarly true of the
other delegates, whether they represent
districts or the state at large"

oycoti on Siv Men.
Chicago, May 24.-The gold standard
leaders of the democratic party in
Cook county to-day met and drew up a
manifesto which. as they put it, filings
out the flag of a regenerated party"
The manifesto gives in detail the local
history of the political split in the dem
ocratic party in this state and maps
out a course which provides for "a boy
colt. not only of to-morrow's prima-
ries and to-day's convention, but of the
present county central committee and
all it's belongings. 1t declares the state
end of the democratic silver machine
as being more undemocratic than the
Cook county end of it and announces
its purpose to "go on with the work of
the party independently of the silver
men," who are called populists and not
democrats.
In accordance with the boycott, urged
in the manifesto, the gold standard
men say they are going to stay at
home The silver men vow that 10000
ballots will be cast for the delegates to
be elected to Tuesdays county con-
vention. The gold standard men charge
that the credentials of the delegates to
the state convention to be elected Tues
day are already made out. An intima-
ton has been made by some democrats
close to Governor Altgeld that the in
structions on the money question to be
voted at Tuesdays convention may be
found to be simply "anti-goldbug,"
making no mention of silver at 16 to 1.

QUAY FOR VICE PRESIDENT

Suggestions have appeared simulta-
neously in several different parts of the
country that Senator Quay may take
second place on the Mckinley ticket. 1t
seems TO be taken for granted that Mr..
Reed cannot be induced to accept 1t un-
der any circumstances. Some of his or
gans in New England declare 1T would
be little short of an indignity to offer
IL TO him. Mr.. Quay. however, IL
man who can accommodate himself to
almost any circumstances. His candi-
dacy for the presidential nomination
has never assumed serious enough pro-
portions to render his nomination for
vice president an ''indignity." Mr..
Quays visit to Mr.. Mckinley last week
is construed as lending color to the
vice-presidential theory. Quay evil
IDENTIFY intends to be on the band wagon
at all events.
Mr.. Quay would not strengthen the
Mckinley ticket. He is politician pure
and simple; we believe he makes no
pretensions TO craftsmanship. His rec
ord in Pennsylvania politics. while bril-
liant in one sense. has been anything
but clean and above reproach. Time
and again the republican Philadelphia
Press has assailed him mercilessly.
With the people at large he is not in
good odor. AS the tail Of the Mckinley
kite. Senator Quay would be a drag
rather than a help.
