There is not much difficulty in training

He has such vivid imagination. Without

on the right side, and then he can speak
in a convincing way.
A politician requires but little training

and who to shake hands with, and
certain genial air that he puts on just
something he need never trouble himself
about. 1t is enough If he knows the

Better Stay rongue.tied

Major Mckinley made another speech
yesterday, which is notable as contain
ing his first allusion since his nomina-
ton to the currency issue of the cam
'paign. After his usual remarks about
the boundless prosperity which high
tariff always brings, he said: And, my
countrymen, there is another thing the
people are determined upon, and that is
that full days work must be paid in
full dollar" What iesa full dollar?
The silver men say sixteen to-one sill
Yer dollar is full" and that gold dol
lar is more than full. The Greenbackers
always claimed that a greenback was
full dollar" Suppose the st. Louis
platform, instead of mentioning the gold
standard, had compromised on the de-
claration; Resolved That we are in ia
vor of full dollar for a full day'sWork."
what would have been the effect upon
the country? Would the business inter-
ests have accepted that as a satisfactory
assurance that with Mckinley as presi-
dent there would be no danger of the
country's passing to the silver standard?
There are limitations that Hanna has
decided to have Major Mckinley make
no more speeches at present, and this is
wise precaution. for if the strongest
sound-money utterance that he can make
after nearly week of cogitation is that
he is in favor of full dollar" the SOON
er he stops talking. the better.
Mr.. Hanna would do well also to put
restriction on his own tongue and the
tongues of other Mckinley intimates
in regard to the financial issue. He and
all the rest of them say at every oppor-
tunty that the tariff, and not the cur
rency. is to be the leading issue of the
campaign. He said yesterday. when
asked if the campaign would take the
direction of tariff or finance: "Oh, 1t
will be strongly tariff-you may be
sure Of that" Colonel Kowalsky n
California delegate to the convention,
who stopped over at Canton on his way
home, said yesterday: II have talked
with Major Mckinley, and he is of the
opinion that several of the silver states,
so called, can be carried this year on the
protective tariff argument" Mr.. Hahn,
deputy Mckinley manager. talked in
the same strain" But If the campaign
is made on the tariff issue, new tariff
bill must be promised, and how is that
promise to be kept? The senate will be
in the control Of the silver men, and they
will allow no tariff bill to pass unless
something is done for silver" Are the
Mckinley managers going to make a
campaign on false pretences? Are they
going to break their tariff pledge or the
gold standard pledge of the platform?
One or the other will have to go by the
board if they make the tariff the chief
issue.-New York Evening Post.

judges seek earnestly and conscientious
ly to learn the truth and mete out JUS

to the public security and shows how

ed for that purpose. The explanation of

If I had a son who wished to adopt

The average physician may get his
reward in heaven, but he certainly does
not on earth. You or tumble down the
steps and cut our head; eat too much
and have a dreadful pain; work too hard
and can't sleep; then we send for the
doctor in a great hurry and expect him
to cure all the evils that flesh is heir to.
When we are cured we are surprised at
his daring to send us bill, and nine
times out Of ten we fight about paying
it. We forget all about the night we had
the awful cramp and the quickness with
which the doctor caused the pain to
vanish and joy to come instead. All we
think about is 1.-The idea of that man

Congressman Dingley of Maine is a
man who abstains absolutely from the
use of intoxicants, and he does not see

look only on the serious side of life.
Mr.. Dingley never attempts to tell other
people how they should live, what they
should wear. or where they should go.
He will attend dinners where the wine

being total abstainer, likes to say

Florence Nightingale was rs years old
on May 18th. Born in Florence, she was
named after her birthplace. Her father
was William E. Nightingale of Emily
park, Hampshire, and Lea Hurst Der
byshire, and Florence, the younger
daughter, was, with her sister, Frances
Parthenhope, who married Sir Harry
Verney, and died in 1890, his co-heiress.
Besides the historic part Florence Night
ingale played in the Crimean war, she
will always be known as the friend and
supporter of the Governesses' institution
in Harley street, London, and as the
writer of many valuable books on nurs-
ing. The testimonial fund of 100000
contributed by a grateful country after
the Crimean campaign in honor of the
Lady with the Lamp" Miss Nightin-
gale handed over for the foundation of
a nurses training and employment in
stitution. Delicate health has made
Miss Nightingale live quietly for many
years, but she has ever been at work
for the good of others.-Chicago Tribune.
