MIR, Bryan's Way to Borrow
Honey.
An extract from his Richm

An extract from his Richmond
speech:
"Our opponents tell us that we
must maintain the gold standard In
order to borrow money. | reply
that if we maintain the gold stand
ard we will meyer be able to do any
thing bnt borrow money. and will
soon be at an end of that. because
our property will not be fit to Dor
row on
"Do you tell me that we do not
need any more money in this coun-
try? | point you to the fact that
the advocates Of the gold standard
rejoice whenever any money comes
to this country. They point to it
as an evidence that there will be
better times, IF we have enough
money in this country. then why
should we want any money to come
from abroad? If we have enough
money now then any more would
be too much; and surely nobody
wants too much money in this
COUNTRY.
IF it is desirable to have money
come from abroad, then it is evil
dent that we have not enough mon
ey here now; and if we haven't
enough money now, it is better to
let the money come out Of our own
mountains, and be our own money.
than to borrow from abroad and
have to pay it back with interest at
some future time,
They tell us that the election Of
the Chicago ticket will drive gold
from this country. | want you to
remember that the mere nomina-
ton Of candidate for President on
a free silver platform has been
bringing gold into this country for
some weeks past, and, my friends,
If a nomination will start this large
flow Of gold to the United States,
what will be the enormous flow
when we actually have that ncmi-
nee elected?
My friends, our enemies tell us
that if we had the free coinage of
silver that foreign nations would
get our gold, | want to say to you
that the moment this nation opens
it's minis to the free Coinage Of sill
yer the creditor nations Of Europe
will have to join us in maintaining
the value Of silver at a parity with
gold, instead Of couspiring to force
down that silver, as they do now."

A New Minuet by Paderewski.

Ignace Paderewski has written a
new minuet for the piano, which
he has dedicated to his American
admirers and given the significant
name of "Menuet Moderne." He
regards the new composition as his
best. and believes that it will meet
with greater popular favor than bis
"Menuet a L'Antique," written in
1883, Of which over seven million
copies were sold in a single year
It is the first minuet written by
Paderewski since "L'Antiqoe," and
was composed by the famous plan
jst expressly for The Ladies Home
Journal, and will appear in the De-
tober issue.

NAMING THE BABIES.

Now that all the different political par
ties have put forth their candidates for
President, a n epidemic OF Mckinley Smiths,
Jenrdngs Brya n Bro ownsand Leyering Joneses
is among the probabilities. Fond fathers,
largely influenced by their political affili-
atoms, will bestow upon their offspring at
the baptismal font the name of the oandi-
date OF their respective parties. This thing
has been done before, and there is no reason
for believing that this year Of grace Will
prove an exception to the rule. Yet 1t is
an unwise practice. The ancient Romans
had proverb which warned against prais-
ing a man before his death. By the same
token no Child should be named after him.
There is no telling what Fate may have in
store for any of The men who now receive
the plaudits and will get the votes OF
millions of their fellow citizens. Strange
things have happened, and what has come
to pass may again occur. Besides, all these
estimable gentlemen cannot win; in fact,
all but one are bound 10 lose. Then, where
is the use of ha andicapping an innocent young
ster for life by ina king him the namesake
OF a defeated politician. Better stick to

GRADE CROSSING HORRORS.

The frightful accident near Atlantic
City, in which more than hundred people
were killed and injured. again illustrates
the danger OF grade crossings. In this case
the tracks Of one road crossed those OF
another at grade, instead OF going above
or below 1t. 1t is all the more repre-
bensible where there is such multiplicity
Of trains. Probably the catastrophe was
caused by somebody misunderstanding or
disobeyins orders, or perhaps by the sig
nal tower operator becoming confused and
giving the wrong signal. but ho owever that
not have occurred had there been no grade
crossing. Although railroad companies
as rule are intent upon lessening the
chances of collision as much as possible,
the Atlantic City affair shows that yet
greater precaution is required.
The block system of operating trains is
generally thought to be as nearly perfect
as anything that human ingenuity can de-
wise. but no provision has yet been made
perhaps never can be made-that will over
COibc Tue IduihSS ia pOJi uuiudu DdtuTe IL
self. 1t will not be the first time, by any
means, that collisions of trains have been
brought about by mistake on the part OF
the manin the 81 gBal tower, or by the misun-
derstanding OF disregard of signals. Per
haps the Atlantic City horror may again set
somebody's wits to work, and that as q
consequence of it travel on railways may
be made yet more safe. One thing would
seem to be impcratively necessary, and that
is to probibittrains running at high speed in
places as dangerous as that where this di-
aster occurred. Hundreds of trains dash
along daily on competing roads. The loss
of life would not have been as great had
the Reading express slackcncd its speed
when it approached the crossing.
Above all, however, stands out the fact,
bold, prominent and fixed, that the disaster
could not have happened but for the grade
crossing.

A wHoLEsoME sENTENcE.

Few persons will question the justice
and appropriateness of the sentence i::l-
posed by Judge Miller uron the woman
who almost blinded sergt. Daley by throw.
ing lye into his face when he and other
officers entered her house to make an
arrest. Imprisonment for twenty months
may seem too severe a penalty to Some,
but drastic punishment like this teaches a
saiutary lesson to that element of the
population which regards the police force
rs its natural enemy and feels itself at
liberty to assault policemen whenever the
opportunity offers. Especially is this the
case when Officers present the NJ selves
without warrant, and Judge Aiiller's ad
monition is quite timely that even though
policeman may enter dwelling Illegally
when once inside he represents the law,
provided, of course, that he appears in his
official capacity
1t is not always possible for q police
officer to obtain warrants before max
ing an arrest. The exigencies of the case
may be such that he must act promptly.
He may unexpectedly obtain knowledge of
violation of law, and in the discharge OF
his duty feel. compelled to make an arrest
without incurring the delay incident to the
procuring of a warrant. But whatever may
be the reason for his acting without this
judicial authorization, it is not the busi-
ness of the people against whom he pro-
ceeds to Judge it, much less to proceed to
violence They have their remedy with his
superiors or in the courts, and it is for
either Of these authorities, and not for
the persons deeming themselves aggreiyed
to determine il he has oyeRtepped the
limit Of his duty. and. II %, to correct him.
Nothing could be worse than to permit
the idea to gain ground than an officer
acting apparently without authority may
be assaulted with fmpuDity. II rs cspe-
dally important that the class OF people
