Cummings, democrat, New York,
closed the debate with a plea for tile
passing of the bill. He was a war dem

to the end that the trade OF this coun-
try at home and abroad may again be
placed upon a sound and stable foun-
dalton.
We recognize in the movement Tor
the free coinage of silver an attempt
to degrade the long-established stand
ard of our monetary system, and hence
a blow to public and private credit. at
once costly to the national government
and harmful to our domestic and for
eign commerce.
Until there is a prospect of interna-
tional agreement as to silver coinage.
and while gold remains the standard of
the United States and of the civilized
world, the republican party of New
York declares itself in favor of the firm
and honorable maintenance of that
standard.
On this platform we present Cover
nor Levi p. Morton as New Yorks re-
publican candidate for president. He is
in every way fit for the high honor, and
he is peculiarly the man for the hour.
Governor Morton's long and honorable
public service. his spotless character,
his great executive ability, his devotion
TO his party and its principles eminent
ly fit him for the presidency and en-
title him to our hearty and enthusiast
tic support. Therefore. we instruct our
delegates to the st. Louis convention
to present him as our candidate for
president, and urge upon them to use
every honorable means to secure his
nomination.
The platform was adopted without
debate and the convention adjourned.

Mile. Yvette Guilbert's long black

teresting personality. Every other
woman now incases her hands I'm a
pair of long black lace gloves. They
have not the same charm as the long
suede mousquetaires, introduced years
ago by the rejuvenated and perennial
Bernhardt. But the artless Guilbert
wore nothing that had not the stamp
of novelty. Witness the narrow belt
that she wore. OF course, everybody
has gold, silver or jeweled belt, but
nobody but Yvette wears the buckle in

one OF her chief charms. for although
amazing small, IL had an ease and sup
pleness incompatible with tight lacine
and that her corset-wearing imitators
fail to discover.

The indications are that the Colorado
Republicans will follow the lead of SEN
ator Wolcott and accept the decision of
the Republican convention on the fnan-
oial question whatever it may be. His
colleague, Senator Teller, has been adj
vising bolt in case the Republicans
platform turns its back on silver, but the
great majority of the leaders prefer to
stick to the party even If it does not give
them what they want. Probably the fact
that bolt on the part of Colorado would
accomplish nothing but bring the Repub-
lieans of that state into dlsrepute with
the Republicans OF the rest Of. the country
has something to do with the refusal of
the leaders to follow Teller, but their
affection for the party would probably
be strong enough of itself to deter them
from taking that step.

TOO MUCH PATERNALIsM,
(Biddeford Journal

Now it is reasonable enough for folks
to want their children indoors and abed
BY O'Clock, as rule; also that they
should want them to get out of bed in the
morning when called and be down stairs
In time for breakfast. But these things
belong to the parents to attend to and
not to the city government-ths tax pay
ers. 1t is no more the business of city
to tell children what time they must go
TO bed than it is to stand around and tell
other children Or adults to go in when
1t rains. The whole thing implies re-
version to the most extreme theory of a
paternal government, which makes it
the business of the State to care for and
direct every action of the individual.
