Kohl.aat vs.. Platt and Lodge.

Some Of Mr.. Thomas C. Platts dear
frtends-given to claiming everything-are
patting hun on the back for what they In
sist he did in shaping the currency plank
at st. Louis. Other enthusiasts who are
associated with that capable statesman,
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. have agreed
that the Senator Is the man to whom all
the credit should go for the sound-money
declaration. The facts in the case show
conclusively that the real work was dore
by Mr.. H. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago. and 1t
was done before either Platt or Lodge had
reached st. Louis. Testimony to this effect
Is given Ly many: conspicuously by Gen.
Horace Porter, of New York, who says:
ION my arrival here last Friday evening
Mark Hanna showed me the proposed
financial plank. prepared that day by Nc
kinley's closest advisers with his assent
The plank adopted today Is that plank
with two Insignificant changes. No one
can rob Mckinley and his immediate
friends of the credit of originating one
thoroughly admirable financial plank"
The plank was framed by Mr. Kohlsaat
prior to his departure from his home in
Chicago. End was appI owed. after being
amended as to unimpoI tant details, by the
committee which laid it before the con-
Vention committee on resolutions-where
Messrs- Platt and Lodge saw it for the first
time. 1t Is therefore evident that there Is
no foundation for the charge that the gold
bug east forced upon the straddling middle
west a gold platform: it Is a plain. indis-
putable fact that McKinleyites of the mid
die west PREF AIRED a plank which was
stronger than anything the east expected.
and which was modified by the resolutions
committee only to strengthen the conces-
sions to safe bimetallism. The middle west
Is not therefore Under the necessity of be-
ing prejudiced against the financial plank
on the superstition that the declaration was
crammed down its throat by Thomas Plat
and the gold bugs Of Wall street.

Manual Training I'm the schools.

While a considerable proportion of this
citys population has some idea to what
is being done in the manual training de-
partments of our public schools, it is I'M
deubtedly and unfortunately a fact that
there is lack of popular comprehension
in this matter. Slowly but with admir-
sional parsimony the work of practical
everyday education is being carried on
ward and upward AS tflirgs now are
there Is a happy combination of instruc-
ton; the mental and the physical are
cleverly INTERVIEWED, to the great benefit
of the pupils This Is notable advance
'=pon the methods In vogue not so many
years ago. and the people are beginning to
SO Understand it. The exhibitions of work
done in the Misunderstanding schools have
opened many eyes and are creating Senti-
ment which may be depended upon to sup
port the board of school trustees and the
District Commissioners when they start
out III their campaign to secure from Con-
gress sufficient appropriations to organize
and equip two such Misunderstanding insti-
tuteS as have been asked for by the trus-
tees Washingtonians are properly proud
OF all that mas been done toward extension
and expansion of the misunderstanding idea,
but they will not be content to stop at in
struction in the grade schools and high
schools The system will be incomplete
until those who want to learn the me-
chanic arts have opportunities equal in
every respect to those within easy reach
OF the boys and girls whose preference is
Tor purely academic education

Ticket and Platform.

The candidates and the platform of tine
republican party are now in full view of
the nations scrutinizing gaze. From this
day until the peoples decision Is made
known the searcblight of criticism will be
continually upon them. So far as the can
dldates are concerned the glare IS not
likely to be distressing William Mckinley
and Garrett a. Hobart are able men and
clean men, against whom nothing even re-
motely discreditable can truthfully be
charged. Mckinley is of course, the CEN
trail figure; whatever there may be of parti-
san assault will be UPON him. He has had
a long public career, and has therefore
made enemies who will not neglect such
noteworthy opportunity as Is now afforded
them by his candidacy for the highest
office known to the political world. But 1t
may safely be asserted that the mud which
will inevitably be thrown at him is not
going to stick; man so unqueStionably
honest Mckinley Is cannot be injured by
the abuse of presidential campaign. Ho-
bdrt'S record does not anywhere have the
appearance of weakness. In the important
matter of personal character the republic
can ticket appears to be remarkably strong.
The combination of candidate and ticket
Is a peculiar one-and the peculiarities be-
come the more prominent as they are the
more thought of and discussed. The fight
to secure delegates pledged to Mckinley
was strengthened by clever exploitation of
the Ohio statesman the representative
high protectionist and By yelled references
to the liberality of his views on national
finance Now appears the party platform
with a comparatively fragile tariff plank
and & financial plank that Is perhaps a
needs to be. For the moment there is in
corgruity, but that will probably be dis
PEELED. according to the republican idea.
when Mckinley's formal acceptance of the
nomination Is given to the public. Mean
while the advocates of a moderate tariff
and of the policy of going slowly In new
tariff legislation beyond providing needed
revenue comforting themselves with
the platform declaration that I'VE are not
pledged to any particular schedules. The
question of rates is practical question, to
be governed by the conditions of the time
and of production
There Is some little comfort to be ex-
tracted out of the currency plank by the
bimetallic hosts whose voices have been
for Mckinley at the primaries and in the
state conventions In the pledge to promote
International bimetallism and to retain our
silver currency at parity with gold. though
they do not like the seemingly unnecessary
iteration of the word gold in describing
the present standard. The silver men who
favor Independent free coinage at IL to 1
derive no satisfaction whatsoever from the
platform and have bolted.
Taken a whole the platform Is sound
and satisfactory. The ticket, through the
ability and integrity of the nominees. will
doubtless attract every republican vote
save those of the silver boilers. and on the
financial issue Is likely to receive the sup
port of men whose habit 1t has been to
vote for anybody but republican

Examined in any aspect, MIR. Teller's po-
sition Is one of the greatest delicacy and
difficulty. He Is an honest man, of courage
end deep convictions. He stands as the
very embodiment of the conscience of the
silver movement. His whole heart Is en-
listed In the fight. and his severance of his
old political ties Is as great an earnest of
devotion to the silver cause as a man may
give The act gives him both distinction
and authority. and at the same time I'm
poses on him solemn responsibility. He
must live up to the law he has laid down.
must regulate mis- whole future course by
the example he has set.
1t was but natural for those who followed
Mr.. Teller out of the republican convention
to consult among themselves at once about
making him their presidential standard

bearer Like him. they want this silver
movement to succeed. In their eyes. he is
its most eminent and attractive represent
ship the cause of silver will be triumph
ant cause. They understand, Of course
that their presentation Of his name will be
of no material moment unless the step Is
ratified by the democracy at Chicago.
Practically. therefore. they are selecting q
candidate for the democracy. The PROPOSE
ton is. in effect. to make the rejected re-
publican stone the chief of the democratic
corner.
Herein lies Mr.. Teller's difficulty If he
consents to this movement, and, most par
ticularly, if he actively aids 1t, what will
the effect be on the country? He must
abide by the ordinary judgment of men.
That judgment Is not always the most
considerable. In times of intense political
excitement it is frequently most severe
His influence now Is that of man making
a great sacrifice. His attitude approaches
the heroic. The way his old friends parted
with him in the convention testified to it's
high proportions. But how much will he
lose Of that attitude and its influence If he
takes step which will invite the accusa-
ton of self-seeking? The charge will at
once be hurled at him. He will have to
meet 1t. He will be represented as a mere
politician intriguing for his own advance
ment; as a seif-seeker who carefully PLAN
ned his exit from one party to become the
leader of another

Booming Hobart Among Wheelmen


From the New York Tribune.
The wheelmen Of the country can we'll af-
ford to stop and consider seriously the good
work done at the national republican con-
vention at st. Louis yesterday. The selec-
ton of Carrot A. Hobart for the vice presi-
dency puts an emphatic friend Of the cy-
clists to the front. Mr.. Hobart has for
many years been an ardent admirer Of the
wheel. and a most loyal advocate of the one
thing which all wheelmen are interested
in-good roads. II there is anything on
earth which appeals to the deep-thinking
riders of the wheel. 1t is well made and
well kept roads. When Mr.. Hobart was in
the state senate of New Jersey several
years ago his work in behalf Of good roads
vas generally recognized. In more recent
years he was always willing to help out
the wheelmen whenever the question of
good roads came up for action or discus
sion. Mr.. Hobart has had the satisfaction,
after years of jealous endeavor, of seeing
his state OF New Jersey become q paradise
for wheelmen and horsemen. and famous
the country over for its system of roads.
The macadamized roads and connections
throughout the state furnish the most pop-
ular rides for wheelmen and horsemen in
this part of the country.
