HamIin,s Correspondence.

Hannibal Hamlin, perhaps the most
typical of Names great sons who have
won national honors and a national
memory, always saved the letters which
he received, but preserved no copies of
his replies or of his share in any CORE
spondence. So General Charles Hamlin,
his son. who is preparing his biography,
finds himself with trunk after trunk
filed with letters written by the most
conspicuous figures in the life of the ma
ton for the past so years. In many
cases he desires his fathers answers
and is having more success in tracing
and securing them than might be i'm
agined.
; A few days ago he received an almost
invaluable collection of them from
Washington, which had come into the
possession of ex-Postmaster General
Horatio King, himself an honored son
of Maine. During the war Vice Presi-
dent Hamlin conducted a personal cor
dependence with some Of the leading
Federal generals. whose communica-

The Boomers Failed.

Bloomers as an aid to smuggling were
tried by two San Francisco girls in an
experiment that failed. The girls took
passage to Honolulu on one of the mail
steamers and excited the suspicion OF
the Hawaiian customs officers by going
ashore clad in voluminous boomers.
They were followed to a house in Hon
olulu, where they discarded bloomers
and 80 tins of struggled opium were
found. The girls were arrested and con-
victed of smuggling, but on appeal tc
the supreme court the case against them
was dismissed because their guilt was
not proved clearly. The girls returned
to San Francisco a few days ago in the
steerage, Wearing skirts.

THE czAR'S soDYGUARD.
Will General Tcherevin's Death End One
Phase of Russian Despotism?

The death of General Tcherevin is all
event Of some Importance, inasmuch as
it is expected to lead to the discontinue
ance of the special institution which
the late general represented, and which,
in fact, he may be said to have created
the special guard, composed of vari-
ETY. of persons known and unknown, in
Guiding the police of the imperial resi-
dence, for the protection of the person of
the car. At least it is rumored that the
late general is not likley to have a sue
cessor in exactly the same position I'M
der the present young car, and indeed
the condition of affairs now is so differ
ent from that which led to the creation
of this extraordinary position in the
early years of the last reign that i'll all
probability its continuance in its pres
ent form will be considered unneces-
sary. Its present machinery may simply
| be Incorporated with the other depart
ments of the ministry of the household,
| if not at once, perhaps after the corona
ton. In any case some change in this
respect is being discussed.
The high favor in which General
Tcherevin was held by the imperial
family was shown by the presence Of
the car and his imperial mother at the
bedside when the general breathed his
last. The removal of the body to the
church of the regiment of horse guards
was also attended by most of the en-
peror's uncles and cousins, and the
dowager empress was present at prayers
in the mortuary chamber before the
coffin was carried by troopers of the
horse guards, followed by the digni-
taries Of the court and government and
members of the imperial family The
body will be taken by rail ON Saturday
to the late generals estate in the prov
ince of Kostroma
General Tcherevin distinguished him
self in the Polish campaign of 1868 and
the Turkish war of 1877. During the
latter he was head of the czar's Cossack
bodyguard, which he commanded for
nine years. From 1878 to 1880 he was
assistant chief of gendarmes and head of
the third section of his majesty's cabi-
net, otherwise the secret political police.
Subsequently he became assistant minis
ter Of the interior. While he was in con-
troll of the secret police an attempt was
made upon his life by nihilist, whom
the general horsewhipped on the spot,
after disarming him of arevolver. Alex
ander III attached the general to his
person and gave him immense authority
in all that concerned his majesty safe
ty. He was therefore the constant COM
panion Of the late car, and, although |
he was very fond of good cheer, his keen
intellect was ever on the alert to serve
the best interests of his sovereign. Lon

CATRON DEFEATED.

full thing he would, after learning that the
wishes of majority of the delegation
were for Mr.. Luna, have gracefully relin-
quished his claims and retired in his

to give way for even so loyal and Jealous

HANNA'S COLOSSAL BLUNDER.

The Associated Press announcement,
printed in these columns yesterday, that
the Detroit Tribune had uneq uivocaly
repudiated the gold standard platform
adopted by the Republican national COM
mittee at st. st. Louis, is full of signifi-
canoe to persons who are familiar with
political conditions in Michigan. For
thirty odd years the Tribune, always
conducted with marked ability and can
dor, has been the Republican bible in
thousands of homes in the beautiful and
enlightened Wolverine state, and its dis
passionate yet positive declaration at
this time is certain to prove potent in
huence in carrying Michigan from the
doubtful" to the certain silver" col
umn. This is the beginning. When the
returns are all in Mark Hanna will realize,
several months too late, that he made the
colossal blunder of his life in permitting
Mckinley to be nominated on a yellow
platform.

were forced to applaud the man, however
much they might disapprove the principle
he personified. His influence will prove
far reaching. Except for the inspiration
of his resolute leadership it is doubtful
if the other silver Republicans would have
mustered the courage to declare their indie
pendence of the eastern money magnates;
without that potent impulse, it is doubt
full whether even such brilliant and ag
gresslve champions of the white metal as
Dubois and Cannon would have dared to
do as they did Yesterday. And time may
prove that same magnetic and masterful
influence the one thing needful to as
sure the triumph of the silver candidates
of the Chicago convention in November.
But, whatever befalls, by his action at St.
Louis, Henry NJ. Teller has earned the
enduring gratitude of all friends of
the free coinage principle.

Henry M. Teller, Colorado's grand "old
man eloquent" has long been recognized
by the representatives of all parties as
one of the noblest, brsvest and strongest
men in public life. He more than real
lied the highest expectations of his
most enthusiastic admirers at st. Louis

piled intellectual giant, he lowered above
the pie-counter and golden calf worship
ing pygmies of his once grand party,
and, with flashing eyes, voice trembling
with emotion and the ma estic mien of
the elder Pitt, boldly and impress
lively proclaimed himself for the restora-
tion of silver to it's constitutional place
in our national monetary system above
all personal and political considerations.
That he profoundly regretted thus to
sever the political ties Of life time was
evident; that he was prompted by the
purest motives of the human conscience
was doubted by no one. His action, like
that of all heroes, efforts universal re-
spect. Even the better sort of goldites

IT is stated that Mark Hanna actually
canvassed Wall street and all the big
manufacturing industries by wire as to
how much they would pay in cash toward
Mckinley's election before he would con-
sent to permit the gold standard plank
to be adopted at the st. Louis convention.
He figured ont that it would cost $6,OOO,-
600 to buy the voters of Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan and Iowa and asked this am omit.

that the money should be Forthcoming

PRESS COMMENT.

oinage principle.


The spark of hope in the breast of gold
standard Democrats of the east aroused
by the action of the Minnesota Democ-
racy has scanty material upon which to
keep alive.
The Minnesota convention added eigh
teen delegates to the gold side of the
Chicago convention, making total of
delegates favoring gold 80 far selected of
231. Ofthe 42S delegates still to be elected
the gold men are reasonably certain of
getting only l36. The highest probable
total of gold delegates in the convention,
therefore, is 1867.
On the other hand, the silver men have
elected 25l delegates and are reasonably
sure of 292, making total of 543 for
silver. The silver men will, therefore,
from the present outlook, have major
ity of eighty-seven and will lack only
sixty-fiv votes of two-thirds majority
1t is vain for the gold men to look now
stem this tide. In Illinois and Ohio the
gold men have thrown up their hands.
In Indiana the situation is only little
better, and In the south and far west it is
hopeless.
The TACT Is that there Is no more
chance of the Chicago convention adopt
ing gold standard platform than Of the
st. Louis convention declaring for free
trade. The party would be doomed to
certain defeat if it did declare for gold.
But between the gold extremists and
the silver extremists there is great
mass of Democrats who want an assur-
ance of prompt return to bimetallism
without the danger of an experiment in
an arbitrary ratio.
If the gold men are wise they will cease
their foolish efforts to drag the Demo-
cratic party into financial policy wholly
foreign to its principles and traditions.
They will join forces with the silver men,
who are seeking safe and honest method
of getting back to Democratic bimetal-
lism.-St. Louis Republic.
