THE SITUATIoN.

The manifesto issued by the silver
boilers makes it certain that an ag-
gressive fight will be made upon
Mckinley because of the open dec
laration for. sound money contained
in the Republican platform.
The coming campaign promises to
be one of the most exciting in the
country's history. The forces of
cheap money; the advocates of inn
paired national credit; the men who
want fifty cents worth of bullion
called 100-cent dollar, are organiz-
ing against the Republican nominee
and will bend every endeavor to
win the fight. There is but little
doubt that the Chicago convention
will declare for a debased currency
and if 1T does coalition of all the
free silver parties is easily possible.
Populists, fat money advocates, flee
silver Republicans and free silver
Democrats, eager in their love for
their new-found god, will argue
themselves into a justification for
joining uuder one banner and op-
posing Mckinley.
Should such conditions result, the
duty of the sound money Democrats
will be plain. If they are sincere IN
their devotion to the gold standard
and in their belief that the present
monetary system should be main
tanned, for them to adopt any other
course than to vote for Mckinley
would be a surrender of principle
incompatible with the ideal of Amer
ican citizenship.
The legitimate issue in the COM
ing campaign is protection. Whether
or not this question shall be side
tracked IN favor of the currency
question remains to be decided.
Among the wool growers, the labor
ing men and the manufacturers pro
lection will prevail; among other
classes the currency may be of chief
account. But in either case the Re-
publican party is on the right side
and goes before the country claim
ing that its past deeds entitle its
present promises to credence, and
that these Hedges are for the adj
vancement of the nation; the main
tenance of sound monetary system /;
protection to American industries,
and the enactment of a vigorous
foreign policy.
The Republican party represents
the cause of good government, and
its success next November is indis-
pensable to the welfare of the nation.

"a oAo WIN.
Roma Patrem PatriD Ciceronom
liberia dixit' was true i'll 63, but in 58
Sic semper gloria mundi" was the fatal
watchword. Egotism got the better Of
Cicero, and he made the mistake COM
mon among orators of mistaking his elu-
outionary powers for common sense.
Even his best friends were ut times
forced to admit that Cicero relied more
on his larynx than he did on his cere-
brum.
The American Indian was by nature
an orator. Humor never interfered with
his progress in that line. No one ever
heard an Indian tell a funny story even
at raw dog banquet where general
good feeling would be supposed to OBJ
tain, and yet where is the Indian today?
He has proved to the world that oratory
alone will not sustain life.
Cicero's great characteristic was his
wit. says his biographer. His esprit was
his great specially. So that we must
look elsewhere for the decline in Ameri-
can oratory. His philippics still make
Interesting reading. But after all they
are but the opinions Of one man. Today
we read brighter things in our editorial
columns every morning and have the
world news besides.
Perhaps, too, another cause Of the de-
cadence Of the orator is the elocutionary
training which he receives. This robs
him of his individuality and makes of
him an animated recapitulation.
If we go into the halls of congress, we
find q collection of business men who do
not attempt oratory except OH obituary
day. These solemn rehearsals seem like
the mournful echo Of national oratory.
The pallid features of the stenographers
and sergeant-at-arm show how destruc-
tive these forensic outbursts are to ami
NAL life.
Demosthenes made few gestures, and
it is thought that this had n good deal to
do with his success as an orator. He
could speak eloquently without stepping
over the boundaries Of common Athe-
MAN doormat and showed marked con-
trast in this way to the political orator
of today, who requires one entire wing
of the capitol building to himself while
speaking and most always manages to get
it before he closes.
Demosthenes rarely, even during his
most lmpasSloned efforts, ever barked
his knuckles against the reporters gal
lery. He was calm and earnest His first
great effort was in his own behalf. His
father had left to Demosthenes and his
sister 10 talents, it seems, equivalent to
$4,000 of our money, but his guardian
or administrator appropriated the whole
sum. hoping thereby to be regarded as
talented man, but Demosthenes prose-
cuted him when but 8 years of age, and
though he obtained Judgment he did
not get his money. In this respect T can
sympathize with Demosthenes. I en-
ployed lawyer once to sue party for
$4,000 due me. Igot$he Judgment, and
the lawyer got the money. He wrote me
that he supposed 1 simply wished to
vindicate myself. After that I never
tried to vindicate myself at all These
vindications are as bad as fire some
times. 4,
