Enough TO Renew Ones Youth.

gold standards o protection. that are
just now engrossing the majority of
minds throughout the country and are
being discussed most assiduously in
the family circle. For this is h COM
mencement season, and every school
graduation rejoices in the high sound
ing but somewhat ambiguous title
commencement" The homes of the
children and youth. are now if ever in
sympathetic touch with the schools.
OF course there are disappointments
along with the pleasures. Perhaps
Toms rank isn't what it should be
and we resolve that he shall give "a
attention to his studies another term.
Perhaps Bessie's gown isn't just what
we wish she might have for the occn-
sion and we can't quite see how we1hre
going to pay all the bills. Then there
is more or less anxiety lest they do not
shine as resplendent in the closing tx
ercises as we feel sure they should, do
by reason of merit. But how thorough
ly interested in it we all are. And; what
a zest this interest lends. 1t is enough
to renew our youth. What a glorious
achievement are our schools! Surely
we can't fail of that conclusion, this
of all times. OF all thai is written
and said about it, of all the optimis-
tic ideals of the sweet girl graduate
and her brother who thinks it but a
step from the high school and college
into fame, what would we have
omitted? Not a word, not an ideal.
The commencement season is a delight
full, a wholesome happy period for chill
dren and parents alike. Let us make
the most of it.

mail and EXpress.)

Capt. Allen V. Reed, of the United
States navy, has fallen a victim to his
own conscientious and consistent rules
os life. He has been retired on the re-
port of Admiral Walkers examining
board. which has found him to be pro
~fessionally disqualified. for advance
ment to the ranksof commodore. This
action disposes II a matter which has
been hanging fire. ever since February,
and will enable about 80 officers to
move up a peg.
The public interest in this case is
rot, however, centered in the fact of
retirement. but in the precedent which
such retirement creates. Until this re-
port was submitted. the hailing OF
Naval Constructor Bowles before a
court of inquiry for the outrageous
perpetratiOn of a smile when addressed
by a superior officer stood unique as
an example of the proprieties in naval
life. But this offenSe now sinks into
insignificance before the aggregated
breaches of decorum which have
hurled Capt. Reed to his professional
destruction. We are informed that the
chief objections to his DOMINIC a COM
modore's uniform are that while at sea
he has been accustomed to use his
bath tub for storing potatoes, has in
sisted on being his own laundryman,
and has habitually hung his clothing
from the rear portfolios of his ship to
dry.
The report. so far as we know. does
not charge him with q%uenching his
thirst from his finger bowl. thruStine

Now for the Hospital Funds.

There is confidence, to the point of
certainty, behind the project for a
new hospital in this city. From the
first there has been p~ersistency, grow
ing out of a widely recognized need of
such an institution and an earnest
purpose to keep the agitation for it
alive, to plan and to wait with both
patience and perseverance for the OPP
perfume to push it to compile
tion. That opportunity is believed to
have arrived. The gentlemen who
have given freely of time and effort in
the cause have already received sub
stantial encouragement and have every
reason to expect more. They have re-
ceived assurance of liberal requests,
and it is no more than proper to men,
ton the fact. in this connection, that
those of our citizens who have means
are. when thoroughly convinced of the
desirability of giving ready to do SO
with ~liberality. There are always
many obstacles to all such. movements.

m~ountable. But when a demand Is

Will Command Support Of Sound Money Men.

There have never been good grounds
for supposing the national Republican
convention would adopt a financial
plank that would preclude the support
of those who favor the existing
standard. If there had been such a
well grounded ear it ought to have
been dispelled by the vast majority of
state delegations pledged to work for
that object. The great moun of dis
cussion over the kind of plank has
arisen not because it was really
thought that any large number of the
delegates favored free silver, but be-
cause ii was feared expediency rather
than principle might dictate the words
of the plank. The desire for eXpedi-
ency appears to have arisen from I'M
willingness to offend the voterwho has
ingness to offend the voter who has
imbibed prejudiced notions against
that bugaboo so much resorted to by
the stump demagogue, gold mono
metalism." Fear of demagoguery
would thus elicit demagoguery in re-
turn. But the Republican party
naturally avows it's principles from the
housetops. 1t never made a success of
straddling and it isn't likely to do so
this year when he will be an ignorant
voter indeed, who cannot detect the
straddle. The party's first success was
due to the fearlessness with which it
championed the right when the right
was unpopular. or thought to be. This
spirit is alive and p%ervasive at st.
Louis. 1t refuses to listen to temper
izing ~expedients. The latest dis
patches from there confirm this view
of it. We are confident thai the re-
suits will be such as to command for
the party at the polls this fall the sup
port of those who believe in maintain
ing the existing currency standard,
both Republicans and Democrats, and
it will make little or nc difference
whether the Chicago platform comes
out boldly for free silver or ~straddles.

that the Bowdoin boys profited by the
Cambridge affair, were it not for the
fact that the college has long been
fortunate in not being disturbed
by a rowdy element to any
appreciable degree. Undoubtedly the
system of self government has done
much to cultivate self control and self
respect in the student body of that
college.

of residences, business blocks and
bits of the beautiful scenery for which
the town is noted. We guess every
