4 Mckinley Ring.

The following is the silver plank Of
| OF the platform adopted by the Re-
publicans at Carson on Thursday.
1t has a Mckinley ring:
The free coinage OF silver by inter-
national agreement would s~atisfactor-
lily adjust the monetary relations be-
tween the precious metals. AS a
feasible measure to lead to un inter
national agreement to the free coin
age OF silver, to the promotion Of
which the National Republican party
is firmly pledged by its platform. we
declare ourselves IN favor Of the free
coinage OF the silver product Of the
American mines at the ratio OF l6 to
l and Of accompanying legislation i'm
posing a prohibitive duty upon for
eign silver bullion and coins, and i
Discriminating tariff schedule against
all imports from gold standard coun-
tries until an agreemnt shall I've
effected between the great commercial
nations providing for the free coinage
of the precious metals or until it shall
be practically demonstrated that the
volume Of coined silver of American
production can no longer be increased
and maintained in circulation upon
AN equality in business transactions
with our other forms of Lational cur
relcy.

Bryan On bankers.

The last editorial written by Mr..
Bryan appeared on July ], nine days
before he was nominated. 1t was an
answer to the charge made by the
Atchison Globe that no had advised
the people to always oppose the
bankers. The following extract con
tains the germ Of Mr.. Bryan's argn-
ment:
The banker is a man, nothing more,
nothing less, and his opinions are en-
.itled to all duo consideration. But
no man should permit another man to
do his thinking for him. There
are many b mixers who are sincere and
consistent b%imetalists. There others
who are sincere gold bugs. There
are some who advocate the single
gold standard when they do not be.

cial to the country, but for reasons
best known TO themselves they adhere
10 the advocacy Of that standard.
The opinions Of all bankers ure en-
titled unusual consideration because
Of their inexperience in financial
matters, but the banker must be able
TO back up his opinion with logic.
Because the banker has had wide
experience in money matters is no
reWon that another man should bc-
lieve the bankers mere statement that
black is white. particularly when
the other man knows that black is not
white.

Republican State Convention whicl
met In Carson Thursday:

Sardis Summertield was in the chat,

Altogether Sc people were either i,

tee who wrestled with it for several
hours before it was ready for the pub
lie.
1t was arranged to make the party
wheel in line in accordance with the
St. Louis gold standard platform. bu,
the delegates from the mining or
ties said that il it went that way the
voters would all join the Silver party
and some sop must be thrown at them
II only for u blind. The plank wa
finally drawn up favoring the coinage
OF the American product until inter-
national agreement was the 60.
Judge Bigelow was on his fcet at
once. He said that the people Of the
East took tho cue from Nevada on the
silver question, and when they learned
that right in the silver producing
State OF Nevada there were men fight
ing free coinage, it gave them great
courage. and the stand taken was win
ming them thousands OF votes. He
wanted to amend, by making the
money plank n gold standard plank.

DR.. Thoma finally seconded the mo-
ton and the debate which followed
was SO lively against Bigelow's amend
ment that he withdrew it. and so the
State money plank is at variance with
the national plank.

squirming. A vote WINS taken and a
division called for. After the roll was
started, Phil Doyle moved to have the
vote announced by counties instead
Of calling the individual roll. The
chair said it was too late and the roll
call went on.
Gov. Colcord who had oprosed the
plank said there were good reasons
for not having it i'll. but the Conven-

A weeping colored girl rushed into
an undertaking establishment uptown
in New York last week and guided the
coffin constructor to an elegant apart
ment. There he met sobbing lady,
who told him that dear member Of
her family had fallen from the roof OF
the house and was fatally injured. The
undertaken asked to see the body, and
was taken into the parlor, where on an
onyx table lay the cold corpse of fox
terrier. Visions of fat funeral van
ished from his mind only to return with
the entrance of the weeping woman, for
she slipped ten SIS notes in his hand and
told him that her pet must have state
funeral. The pup was buried in a
plush-lined and silver-mounted casket
in the family lot at Woodlawn.

A BEAUTIFUL DEED.
How Gov. Northern of Georgia Helped
an Embarrassed Woman.

How Gov. Northern of Georgia Helped
an Embarrassed Woman.
A beautiful deed once performed by
Governor w. j. Northern of Georgia
has found its way into print. The At
lanta Constitution relates it:
A patient-looking woman in a faded
poke bonnet and homespun dress was
driving along Whitechapel street in a
dilapidated buggy drawn by lean and
jaded mule. The harness was patch
work of ropes and leather,
Then came catastrophe. Suddenly
the mule stopped, and one Of the shafts
dropped-a piece Of harness was
broken. The woman gazed at the
wreck, with calamity written in her
face. For full minute she surveyed 1t
without moving, and then looked
around for some friendly face The
sidewalk was crowded with people, and
the street was full, but all were hurry
ing on, and no one paid the slightest
attention to the woman. Slowly she be-
gan to descend from her seats.
Just at this moment apassing carriage
halted and a gentleman alighted. He
spoke to the woman in kindly tone
and offered to assist her. She CRATE
fully accepted the offer, and stood by al
most trembling while he worked at the
broken harness. 1t was a hard job, but
the gentleman was determined and
even got down on his knees that he
might get at the work better. Finally
the repairs we're completed and the gen
tleman stepped into his carriage and
drove out.
A man who was passing noticed the
almost fearful gratitude Of the poor wo-
man, and stepping up to her he said:
"Do you know who that was that fixed
your harness% The woman shook her
head. "That was the governor of the

as he was also one Of the most kind
hearted. He was a great discoverer Of
dramatic stars and always testified the
warmest and most disinterested friend

stage owed to his keen appreciation Of
talent the lamented Desclee, the gifted
and Inflated Tallandiera and the I'M

at Nashville in 1870. His professional
career did not begin until 1894, when
he accepted his first engagement with
the Lynchburg club. His all around
work that year was Of such a satisfac-
tory nature, and he gave such promise
of doing still better with more expert
ence, that he was re-engaged for the
season of 1895, which lasted five months,
beginning on April 10 and ending on
Sept. IA, Leahy taking part during the
period in one hundred and seventeen
championship contests, in one hundred
and ten Of which he credltably filled
the position Of short shop, and in the
other seven games he played at second
base and in the outfield. His work at
short stop was of the highest order,
having dash and snap that infused
life and energy into that done by his
fellow players. While not being rec
ord player, he is credited with num-
Der Of fine fielding feats. The most
noteworthy of these performances was
the accepting Of all Of ten chances in
a game against the champion Rich
mond team, played on May 81, at Rich
mond, Va, and the accepting Of four
teen out of fifteen chances in a game
against the Roanoke nine, Aug. %, at
Lynchburg, Va. On Sept. 3, at Lynch
burg, in a game with the Portsmouth
team, he was credited with ten assists,
some of them being very difficult to
handle, While he was never known as
a hard hitter, he has done some good
and timely batting In a game against
the Roanokes, on April 20, at Lynch
burg, he made three safe hits, includ-
ing three triple baggers, He also made
a home run and a double Dagger in
a game against the Richmond team,
On April "a, at Lynchburg. In game
against the Norfolks, on Aug. IS, at
Lynchburg, he was credited with four
safe hits, including triple Dagger.
He also made three safe hits, includ-
ing double Dagger, in game with

The Cincinnati club officials have de-
cided that their team shall do their
preliminary work in the South. As
soon as the matter had been settled
Manager Bancroft set the wires going
and finally secured the grounds at New
Orleans for month, and he and Capt
Ewing will take their players to the
Crescent City about March 8, and re-
main there till the last part of
the month, when they will work their
way home, playing games in the prin-
2i2al cities en- route, and arriving
home in time to open the preliminary
season on Saturday, April 3, with the
University of Cincinnati team. Capt.
Ewing will take at least twenty men
south with him, number of them
being from the Western league, and
he expects to develop one or more good
ones. Ewing considers his catchers,
pitchers and infield strong enough, but
would like to get another strong out
fielder to go with Holiday and Mil
Ter, but if nothing better turns up he
has Hoy and Burke to fall back on.
After President Brush had failed to
obtain Clarke's release from the Louis
vile club, he said; 81 sincerely hope
that if any club succeeds in getting
Clarke it will be Western club. There
is no doubt about it that the Eastern
teams as whole are stronger than
those in the West. A Western man
ager cannot get a player from the
East. Time and again has it been
tried, but the Fasteners appear to be
arrayed against us. The only thing
that we can do is to build up our teams
with young players, and in time we will
be able to dictate to the East. At the
present time the East depends more
upon the West for players than does
the West upon the East. In time mat
tiers will come out al right, but it
requires time"
The Cleveland and Pittsburg teams
will go to the Hot Springs, Ark, to get
themselves into playing trim. Wheth-
err or not the two will meet in exhibit

Mrs. Kelley, the aged London actress,
completed her ninetieth year the other
day, and the occasion was celebrated by
special benefit performance at the
Lyceum, where the most interesting
item in a long roll of attractions was a
speech from the veteran actress. Mrs.
Kelley retains all her faculties unim-

notable instances Of keen enjoyment Of
life far beyond the allotted span. 1t is
more than sixty-five years since Mrs.
Kelley, then Miss Coward, made her
first appearance in London at the Ly-
ceum, at that time known as the En-
glish Opera House. She played Rosina
in the operetta Of that name, and Little
