Gov. McKinley's appearance was the
signal for great ovation. When COM

Kinley responded as follows:
MY Fellow Citizens of New York: 1t
gives me great pleasure to meet and
greet you here at my home today. 1t
was most gracious on your part to have
paused in your journey to the east long
enough to give me the pleasure of meet
ing you face to face, and nothing could
have been more agreeable to me than
to be presented to the members of the
Mckinley league of the state of New
York, by my old friend, long member
of the house Of representatives at Wash

of the date of Waterloo, which seemed
an evil omen for leader who purchased
his victory at their expense. The Demo-
Gratis have still to settle both their plat
form and their candidate and even if
they were not tempted as a party to
adopt a silver plank, a combination of
the Republican silverite dissidents might
yet bear out the views of some compe-
tent observers that the future will show
a line of cleavage in the United States
between the east and west scarcely less
deep or less dangerous than that which
formerly divided the north and south"
The Standard: Mr.. McKinley's VIC
tory was a triumph of wire pulling. Not
only have Mckinley guides broken off
the opposing candidates or judiciously
squared them. but they also to some ex-
tent dominated the capitalists of the
east. Mckinley has no fixed opinions on
any political question under the sun ex-
cept protection. But the silver initiation
lists thought he was their man, and he
would undoubtedly gladly have been so
if the cat had jumped that way"
In regard to the platform the Stand
ard says: THE gold standard, pat
riotic affirmation and protection
ism of the barricade order
are impossible together in one pro-
gram. We take it that if hard and fast
protection wins the day next November
a debased currency is almost certain to
follow. The victory of the Republicans
means an era of exclusive tariffs and
jealous immigration laws"

vice of the various roads to- the coast,

an experiment but in the case of the
Union Pacific it proved not only feasi-
BILE but SO profitable as to cause the
service to be improved repeatedly since
it was adopted In addition to reducing
the time several hours more than was
contemplated, the overland limited has
secured a number of new cars provided
especially for that service, including the
buffet, smoking and library cars. The
officers are confident they can further
reduce the time from Chicago to San

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Minister
Andrade of Venezuela has received adj

ment by which Venezuela adopts the
gold standard. President Crespo ad-
vised congress some months ago to meet
the prevailing agitation for depreciat-

now been confirmed by all the states.
It is as follows:
Neither the legislative nor executive

public shall in any case or for any mo-
tive issue paper money nor declare as le-
gal tender any bank notes or any value
represented in paper, nor shall the coin.

out previous authorization of congress,
subject to the same procedure as in the
enactment of other laws"
At present the Venezuelan circulation
consists of twenty million bolivars GO
cents), of which twelve million is in
gold and eight million in silver. This
silver already in circulation will not be
retired. The future coinage will be re-
stricted to gold and gold certificates
representing actual gold on hand.

Intelligent people who realize

the number of diseases tha. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is able to cure. So
many troubles result from impure
blood that the best way to treat
them is through the blood, and it
is far better to use only harmless
vegetables compounds than to dose
to excess with quinine, calomel and
other drugs. By treating the
blood with Hoods Sarsaparilla,
scrofula, salt rheum and what are
commonly called "humors;" dys-
persia, catarrh, rheumatism, ncu-
ralgia, consumption and other
troubles that originate from im-
purities of the blood or impaired
