Gusts the GoldbuxS

To the Editor of The World: One of
be old stock arguments against the
bee coinage Of silver was that the

Murphy VIII Vote for BRYAN.


'T shall vote for Bryan and Sewall,"
said Senator Edward Murphy, Jr.
Senator Murphy made this statement
at Long Branch recently to a gentle
man who recently held a high official
position and whose intimate relations
with Richard Croker are well-known.
This gentleman visited Senator Murphy
purposely to obtain his views upon the
political situation in order that he
might shape his own accordingly. He
told the senator that, knowing that
Croker would vote as he Murphy
would, he himself wished to cast his
ballot for the same candidates. Then
it was that Senator Murphy said he
would support the ticket. To consider
the present democratic situation more
comprehensively it may be told that
ex-Mayor Hugh ]. Grant, Senator
Murphy's son-in-law, is now in favor Of
third ticket. All the democratic
leaders of the city and state, including
Mr.. Whitney, are simply playing the
game Of politics. "All are agreed in
their DESIRE" said a gentleman who at
tended the Whitney conferences, ito
repudiate the national platform, but
they are divided as to supporting the

President James o'Connel, =, The Tn.

ment In writing to the Associated
Press:
There has been going the rounds of

On one our small coast-survey
schooners there was once q litter Of
puppies belonging to the captain, wrote
the late Admiral Stevens in the Youths
Companion. They were to be allowed
to remain on board until old enough
to leave their mother, but during their
stay on board what scurrying, scamp
ering, frolicsome nuisances they werei
The smartest and most energetic pup
py of the lot was little fluffy black
snd-white spotted fellow called Spot
tycus, the Gladiator" and he led all
the others in mischief. The puppies
had their meals Immediately after the
wSrd-room Offices. Spottycus evident
ly considered II an infringement OF his
dignity to be relegated to the second
table, and sd one day he led a crusade.
It was a warm summer evening and
the ward-room officers were just being
helped to their soup when there was Q
rush overhead, followed by q most fear
some succession Of tiny barks. The Of
feers looked up and beheld every one
Of the open skylights overhead occu-
pied by a little dog reaching over as
far as he could get, his mouth open
and his little red tongue hanging out
The first lieutenant rose from his
seat in horror, but as II that had been
the signal agreed upon, Spottycus
slipped from his hold and plunged
headlong into the tureen Of hot soup.
As in duty bound, the others followed
his example, and for awhile, in the
midst of sounds of breaking glassware,
the thud and splash Of falling bodies
and a prolonged and horrible yelping,
squealing and whining, it rained pup
pies.
The next exploit was to fall over
board all together, being led as usual
by the indomitable Spottycus, whose
cheerful disregard Of consequences was
something appalling. They were res
cued from a watery grave and wrapped
In hot towels, whence they escaped TO
eat a lot Of poisoned fypaper. They be-
came deathly sick, of course, and all
that night had to be attended by two
Of the officers and most Of the crew.
After this they were sent ashore and
the ship adopted a menagerie Of kit
tens. having found puppies beyond con-
troll. Remembering the effect of pois-
oned fypaper on the digestive organs OF
small animals, the officers threw away
what they had Of this kind and laid in a
stock of the stick kind
This, however. was hardly an i'm
proyement, for the kittens would 90 to

movements hampered in some mys-
terious manner that savored Of witch

The Field of Waterloo.

The modern Belgian peasant attacks
the visitor to Waterloo with immod-
Grafton and demands English silver
most persistently. The conductor of the
char-a-banc which conveys you to the
field sturdily claims backsheesh for
the sole service Of having relieved you
of your fare. From the moment you
leave the station until the moment you
return you are pursued by a crowd of
ragged urchins bowling Charlie" at
the tops Of their ugly voices, or insist
ing on the purchase Of the most ri
diculous mementoes. At the gates of
La Haye Sainte, where the brave Ger
mans fell to a man after having ex-
hausted their ammunition, a farm girl
invites you to enter and then bars your
exit with a belated demand for half a
franc a visitor. At Hougoumont they
have learned to improve upon this: A
lady makes terms with you while you
are at the gate for admission at the
rate of half franc each, but this you
learn, to your disgust, on your depart
ure does not include an additional
charge of half a franc each for the
service of the guide to the farm from
whose clamor you have vainly en-
deavored to escape during the entire
length of your stay. Such in sober
truth is the condition Of the field of
Waterloo to-day. What 1t will be when
the railway is opened and the detected
battalions Of the personally conduct

things 1t is better to suspect than
