AS the June days increase in number
on the calendar the fair graduate be-
comes more and more in evidence, and
parents and friends are submerged with
invitations to entertainments when the
learning of school days is consummated
in essays, recitations, etc. Yesterday
afternoon a well rendered program was
given at Miss Marks school on South
Hope street by the scholars. The star
pupils and also the graduates of '06 were
the Misses Paula Rued. Lulu Wharton
and Julia Winston. Miss Winston's
paper contained some good advice to
juniors. Mirage-Hope was the theme
of Miss Wharton's essay, and Miss Rugd
gave the class history. All three papers
showed thought and were clever in ex-
preston. After the exercises the guests
were given the privilege and pleasure of
inspecting an exhibit of pictures, the
work of Miss Fannie e. Duval. Among
the choicest Of the groupings was
large oil entitled The Chrysanthemum
Garden. This and study of onions were
exhibited at the Worlds fair. There

II am in favor of the free coinage of

uno, "are the real instruments of political
battle: they are the grape. the shell. and
the canister that lay low the encmy's 5
forces" II is truth well phrased. There
has never been campaign when printers
ink did so much and flowed so freely as
in this, and it is the little black types that
have done most to riddle the silver "ar-
guments." We referred yesterday to the
wonderful outpour of campaign literature,
unparalleled heretofore, and counterbal-
ancing in cost, and probably in efficiency,
all the speeches, and professions, and fire
works that the parties have used. But the
ceasClessly working types are not content
with the printing of pamphlets. Count
leaflets are published bearing on the is
sues at stake. but even greater has been
the work of the types in the daily press.
The Republican cause has had no cham
piOn more powerful than the newspapers; !;
the cooperation. for a common end. of the
sound money democratic press with the
Republican press has been the most StriE-
ing and most powerful coalition of the
campaign. The weakest point in Bryan $
canvass, after the inherent weakness OF
the cause, has been his lack of newspa-
per support. He might be ever so inspir-
ing and eloquent and imposing in the
brief speeches of his strange stumping
tour; but without the support and argu-
ment of the press. the enthusiasm and
hurrah surely dies away as the crowds dis
perse: and SO il has happened that the IL
lusion has been quickly dispelled by the
daily bombardment of earnest and rea-
sonable editorial utterancc in the behalf
of sound money.
