The commencement season.

The season OF commandments and
graduations has been eagerly looked Cor
ward 70 by college young men and young
women Of classes Of '96. For it has meant
to them emancipation from books and
tutors. and an entrance into the busy
world as a part OF il. They have, hereto
fore. been a part OF a rather secluded
world. and have been anxious to get out
into the open, where they might find
room for the free exercises Of individual
talent. They have been rather inclined
to the opinion that upon graduation they
would have before them the desirable
positions OF life from which 10 make Sc
lec-i0ns. Many fsthem have theoretical
~ solved the problem of how TO succeed,
and have written learned theses upon u.
But when graduation sets them free
from study. they viii be apt to find the
situation in the busy. hurrying. work-a-
day world just a bit different from what
they expected. While there are numer-
Gus positions TO be nllcd in the profess
sions and trade. there are also a great
many applicants striving for each place.
The desirable positions are not to be had
for the asking, or because one Is ths
possessor of a college diploma. The only
way to reach the top is to begin at the
bottom and 80 up by hard and faithful
work. The college graduate is better
prepared to make such a fight than the
person who has not had the advantage
Of such training. Still. a college educa-
ton is not necessity to the filling of
great majority OF the desirable places
in this country. The President Of the
United States is not a college graduate,
and there are number OF men at the
head of great railroads and banks and
business houses who never went to col
lege. Native ability is the first requisite,
but a college education is a great aid 20
it,
The graduates of this year, however,
have before them more and greater OPP
portunities than their fathers and MOTH
ers had when they were graduated. The
world moves steadily ahead. in opportu-
mites as well as in enlightenment and
civilization. 1t is better, richer and broad
er than it was thirty years ago. At that
time railroads were comparatively few,
the telegraph had not nearly approached
development, and electric lighting and
propulsion was only dreamed Of. AT that
time also it was regarded as unladylike
for a woman to earn her own living,
now there are hundred professions and
trades that a woman may enter and
make her mark. She is nearer on a foot
ing with man than ever before, and her
success on her own account merely de-
ponds upon the perception to recognize
an opportunity and the ability to make
the most Of 1t. And the same may be
said of the limitations of men.

A Small AFFAIR.

The St. Louis hotels and boarding hous-
es are not going to make the money out
of the national republican convention they
expected TO when their city secured the
convention. Consequently the local COM
mittee that has charge of financial mat
ters is in danger Of losing a good deal of
money, because many Of those who sub
scribed to the convention fund are refus-
ing to pay their subscriptions. 1t is a
foregone conclusion that Gov Mckinley
will be nominated on the first ballot The
action of the national committee IN IA
voring Mckinley delegates in settling the
contests is making that clear.
Now that it is understood that McKin-
ley will be nominated without a struggle
the interest in the convention is subsid-
ing Hundreds of people who expected
to go to St. Louis have decided to remain
at home. AS stated in our dispatches yes
terday they are cancelling their orders for
rooms at the hotels.
The lack of interest in the convention
is pretty certain to have its effect upon
thusiasm in the making of the ticket there
is likely to be a lacking OF It throughout
the campaign. The Mckinley managers
understand this, and it is said they re-
gard the prospect Of a comparatively
small crowd at St Louis with apprehen-
sion. They would like big crowd and a
great deal of noise, so as TO give the coun-
try the impression that Mckinley is ex-
tremely popular, and that the republi-
can party is confident of success. 1t
would have been better for Mckinley,
probably, if he had not secured so many
delegates as to put his nomination beyond
a doubt before the meeting of the conven-
ton. His managers, however. couldn't
guard against everything likely to affect
his interests unfavorably.

| our dispatches yesterday gave pretty
| fair Indication of the character Of the
| monetary plank that the Mckinley man
ayers VIII endeavor 10 have adopted by
the 81. Louis convention. A draft Of Il has
been distributed among the members Of
the national committee and the leading
delegates now at s.. Louis. As was ex-
pected il IS not an out and out deciara-
ton for the gold standard. II is substan-
TALLY the monetary declaration that was
adopted by the republican state conven-
ton OF Indiana on May Z. That decIara-
lion was as follows.
I'VE are firm and emphatic in our de-
manas Tor honest money. We believe
thai our money should not De Inferior TO
the money of the most enlightened ma
tons Of the earth. We are unalterably
90 depase or deprcclate our currency. We
IaNQr the use or silver as currency, but
20 the extent only and under such reguia-
tons that Its parity with gold can be
main aimed, and in consequence are OPP
posed TO the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver az ratio of lC TO L.
by comparing the foregoing with the
suggested monetary declaration that is
now being circulated at St Louis. and
which we published yesterday. it will be
seen that the difference is immaterial.
The Ohio monetary declaration was
adopted quite a long time before that Of
Indiana. and there is ground for think
ing that It was put out with the view Of
testing the sentiment of republicans as to
the kind Of a declaration in respect to sill
yer that should be put into the national
platform. The Ohio declaration was
wholly unsatisfactory. 1t received APP
prevail from nobody. 1t was so conspicu-
ously a straddle that both the sound
money men and the suverites condemned
it.
But is the Indiana declaration. the one
that is now submitted to national COM
mittoemen and delegates. much better?
Very little. It is a declaration for sound
money and condemns free silver coinage
at the ratio Of 16 to !, but it leaves the
door open for silver legislation like that
which has kept the money question UNI
settled for the last twenty years.
It would not satisfy the silverites nor
the sound money men, and If it should be
adopted it would not hold the extreme
silver republicans in the party nor would
it command the hearty support of those
who believe in the existing gold stan
dard.
1t is evident that there is going to be a
struggle over the monetary plank of the
p.atform-not between the gold standard
men and the silverites, but between
those who want square declaration for
the gold standard and those who, with the
the party, want compromise declaration
on the money question. AS Gov. McKin-
ley and his managers favor a compromise
it looks as if the gold standard men would
be forced to yield and accept what they
can get.

There are reports to the effect that in
the recent primaries in this state. in
counties in which the democratic party
machinery was in the hands of the 16 to
/ faction, the populists were permitted
to act upon the principle that they have
a right to slip in and out of the demo-
cratic party at pleasure. Many of them
It is alleged. were permitted to vote, with
out protest; and thus the 16 to ma
jorlties were swelled. At the last ma
tional election and the last state cleo
ton, these same populists tried to the
extent of their power, with the help Of
the republicans, TO defeat the democratic
candidates. The popuEsts have nothing in
common with the democrats. and it is
loose party organization which permits
them to play fast and loose with the
democrats for their own advancement
If the primaries are to be thus prosti-
tuted. it would be well to have them abol-
ished. The populist party represents moth
ing except clique of men who are trying
TO get into Office. The democratic party
may be divided by dissensions, but it
viii come together again upon a broad plat
form. At the same time, there is no room
in it for men who slip in and out when
ever it suits their convenience or their
necessities to do So
