STRAIGHT OUT FOR GOLD.
The Financial PIanl, Formulated BY
Platt and Others.

ST. LOUIS, June 1--we favor the
maintenance of the existing gold stand
ard and are opposed to the free coinage
of silver, except by international agree
ment for bimetallism with the leading
commercial nations of the world"
This is the text of the financial plank
upon which Mr.. Platt and his friends
agreed at a conference which adjourned
late tonight, and which was attended
by leading Eastern men and a number
from the Middle Western States. 1t was
decided that the fight should be kept up
for this plank in the platform and Mr..
Platt stated that he believed such a
plank would be inserted and that the
so-called sound money" men would
abandon their position of insisting upon
a plank that meant gold, but which did
not say so in positive terms. Besides,
the New England States, which were
represented at this conference chiefly
by Senator Lodge OF Massa chusetts,
delegates were present from New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
cOnsin, Washington and Tennessee,
each of whom demanded that there
should be no equivocation in the plat
form, but that ii should be mentioned
in such a way that there could be no
misinterpretation of the purport of the
platform Among those present were a
number of delegates from other States,
who favored Mr. Piatt's proposition,
but were without authority to act for
their States.
After the above plank had been added
to its text il was submitted to the
moneyed men of New York, and es-
pecially to j. p. Morgan. 1t was recon-
mended by them and they indorsed it's
sentiment. Those who favored Platt' S
plank have strong hopes of persuading
the convention that its adoption is es-
sential to the perpetuity of the Repub-
lican party.

About / 80 O'Clock this morning a.
woman was noticed on the awning at
the northwest corner of Third and X
streets, preparing 10 throw quilt into
the street. A young man climbed up
the telegraph pole and ascertained that
she had become alarmed from hearing
voices in the hall and was frightened,
and made preparations to jump to the
ground. Search was made for the in
trllders, but they could not be found.

Saving Wood

Woven Wire Bailey has for sale a
portable steam firewood saving and
splitting Machine, made by himself
On the coast many of these machines
are in use, and will saw as much as
thirty cords day. There is a gentle
man in town who used to operate two
in Portland, Ore, that would saw that
amount each. 1t really takes less
power to saw hardwood than North
west, but then they do not split by
machinery. 1t can safely be said that
ten cords can be sawn and split with
Bailey's machine by nan and a boy
in a day of ten hours. No person or
persons can compete with machinery
in converting cOrd-woOd into stove
wood This is one case in which me-
chanical skill tells against the cheap
est coolie labor. This is a grand open
ing. Plenty of wood wants saving.
Here's the machine. Where's the man
to take hold? Let him see Woven Wire

article signed 'X in the issue OF May "a. the com
thoughts and feelings by sound, viz speech
language and music language. or course the bare
fundamental thought IL as old the textbooks on
musical grammar Of the last century, but IL is
very fruitful thought to keep before the mind and
especially timely now; one needs only to guard
against drawing the conclusion that all ideas in the
one KIND OF language can be translated easily into
with idioms to be practically untranslatable as
one realizes when he Is asked what a given piece
OF music expresses.
The thought may be carried further without run
ming into fanc.ful comparisons: first as the finest
English scholar may be ignorant and unapprecia-
tive OF what is told In italian or Greek a savage
tongue so a man thoroughly versed In modern
European music may be utterly unable TO find am
meaning in the music language OF an Oriental or
savage. In that OF his ancestors a few genera
