The court office of Gentleman Usher
Of the Black Rod was recently vacated
In England by the death of its occupant.
An English paper advertises the va
cancy: "The post is arduous; the hours
are long. ranging from five TO six in the
course of week. with no more than
six months holiday year; while the pay
does not exceed $4,000 per annum ($10,-
000). with a free residence, and coal

not be very keen

THE KEYNOTE,

I'm this contest patriotism is above
party and national honor is dearer than
any party name The currency and
credit of the government are good now,
and must be Kept good forever. Our
trouble is not with the character of the
money that we have, but with the
threat to debase it. We have the same
currency that we had in 1892, good the
world over and unquestioned by any
people. Then, too, we had unexampled
credit and prosperity. Our difficulty
now is to get that money in circulation
and invested in productive enterprises
which will furnish employment to
American labor. This is impossible with
the distrust that hangs over the coun-
try at the present time, and every eff
fort to make our dollars, or any one of
them, worth less than one hundred
cents each only serves to increase that
distrust."
So spoke Major Mckinley on Satur-
day, and he spoke like the true pa
triot, the honest and right thinking
man that he is. No debasement of the
nations currency and no degradation
of the nations honor, is a worthy key
note.

THE KLESsINGS OF sILHER,


Those who work for a living and are
inclined to think that free silver would
increase their prosperity will do well
to take competent testimony from coun-
tries where the blessings Of silver are
in full operation. For instance, Boliv-
ia. For some time past the Hon. Thorn
as Moonlight, envoy extraordinary, etc,
has been looking after American inter-
ests In Bolivia Since his arrival at the
La Paz legation he has had opportuni-
ties for observing the effect Of silver
monometallism on wages. He writes to
a Kansas friend: Permit me in all
frankness and in the spirit of pure dis
interested friendship, and with an abid-
ing faith and deep love for the Demo-
cratic party, to say that if you were
here or in any other free silver coun-
try you would at once see the misery
and wretchedness caused by a currency
below par in the commercial world.
clerks III the stores mere WHO WOulQ re-
ceive in our country $50 per month get
only forty Bolivianos in silver or its
equivalent, equal to about SIS Ameri-
can money, and find themselves. La
borers receive per diem, and find them
selves, from rs to rs cents in silver,
equal to about % cents in American
money. Mechanics receive on an aver
age one Boliviano per diem and find
themselves, equal to about "A cents in
American money.
Is there anything attractive in such
a condition of things as this? Is this
what the American workingman wants
to vote for?

is too rich for their blood, and they are
talking about preventing the Populist
convention which meets in st. Louis
July 90 from indorsing him.
Furthermore, If Mr.. sewall was NOM
mated on account of his supposed pop
ularity among those who We're former
ly his political associates and support
ers in Maine it Is already evident that
a mistake was made. Mr.. Sewall will
not carry Maine for the Populists be-
cause the Democrats and the old
Greenbackers of the State love him, for
they do not. 1t is not at all probable
that he and his ticket will carry Maine.
Maine isn't exactly the State it was
in the old Greenback times.
On the whole Mr.. Sewall appears to
be decidedly out Of place as the tail Of
the Populist ticket. But he will be
more out of place on election day.

BILE wire. Such bauble Is made to ex-
actly fit the wrist, and is soldered to

rs IT SOCIETY LTNGos

1t Is with a feeling not unmixed with
pride that we notice that the Register,
the Court Journal of this neighbour
hood, is taking an interest in our ac-
curate and pleasant accounts of what
Society is up to. We feel that at last
we are on the right track, and we
shall strive harder than ever to make
our Society Notes what they ought to
be. OF course they can never be what
the Registers Society Notes are. That
would be impossible and also undesira-
BILE. There cannot well be two Court
Journals to one Society, and the Reg
listers position as the Court Journal Is
so well established that no sensible
newspaper would for a moment think
it possible to do what the Register
does so gracefully and completely. But
we have been a little puzzled by some
thing that appeared in the Court Jour-
nal yesterday. 1t was this: To-day
the charms of the chaperone business
lies in the ability to Turk and not see."
1t is possible, not to say probable, that
we have not yet made progress enough
in the way Of the Register to compre-
bend the very latest Society lingo, but,
even at the risk of exposing our ignor-
ance, we feel moved to ask if a Court
Journal is bound to say that the charms
of the chaperon business lies" If
that is really Society talk Society is as
independent of grammar as it is of
some other things. And do the charms
Of the chaperon business "lies" Cor
lie) in lurking" We know well
enough that the chaperon business is
sometimes not just what it is cracked
up to be, but we are not quite prepared
to see 1t written of as lurking" or
to see a chaperon described as a.
'lurker' But possibly we are even
less UP than we suspect in the things
If SO, will not the Court Journal lead
US in the way we should go by form
ally and authoritatively assuring, us
that charms lies and that chaper-
on is a lurker.'
P. S. And will the Court Journal al
so be kind and instructive enough to
tell us when Society took to spelling

POPULISr AND PLUTOCRAy.

Consistency is jewel, and SO the
convention which in the name of JEFF
fersonian Democracy nominated a
Populist for the head of its ticket took
a Plutocrat for the tail thereof. How
much the Plutocrat was assessed for
the honor doth not yet appear, but it
will doubtless cost him all it is worth.
Mr.. Sewall is a wealthy ship-builder
and has other interests which unfit
him to be yoked up with a Populist.
1t is not surprising that his nomina-
ton has already brought out protests
from some of the Populists who took
part in the convention that nominated
him. They are much pleased with the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan. He is a man
after their own heart. But Mr.. Sewall
