The. Ohio republican currency plank,
which is just now criticised by some
newspapers opposed to the presiden-
idential candidacy of Ex-Governor
Mckinley, is almost identical with the
currency declaration at the last ma
tional republican convention. The
Ohio plank reads:
"We contend for honest money for
currency, and for gold, silver and pa
per with which to measure our ex-
change that shall be as sound as the
government and as untarnished as
it's honor, and to that end we favor BIZ
metalism and demand the use of both
gold and silver as standard money,
either in accordance with the ratio to
be fixed by international agreement,
if tE at can be obtained, Or under such
restrictions and provisions to be de-
termined by legislation as will main
tain the parity of value between the
two metals so that purchasing and
debt paying power of a dollar, wheth-
er of silver Or gold or paper, shall be
at all times equal"
While Ohio republicans are not quite
bold enough to state it in plain En-
glish terms, it means gold as the
standard Of value, and the use of all
the silver, coined into standard mon
ey, which can be foated at par.
On the other hand the silver men
demand the free coinage of all silver
which shall be carried to the United
States minis into silver dollars, which
shall be legal tender, and which shall
be redeemed by gold at the option of
the holder. The first method permits
the use of a very large amount of sill
yer and makes every dollar of it as
good as gold; the second plan will
turn the minis into great manufactor
les of silver coined and let loose. A
flood of silver which the gold treasu-
ries of the world, much less the treas
ury of the country, can not redeem.
The first plan is honorable,t the second
is dishonorable. The proposition of
the silver people to compel govern
ment to coin silver which costs 80
cents into a silver dollar, and then to
purchase that selfsame piece of silver
with gold dollar, which is worth
dollar the world over is dishonorable.

REED AND MCKINLEY.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Advertiser in discussing
the matter of strength has the follow
ing to say in regard to the Republican
national convention:
The great fight in the convention
will be over the contested seats. Their
settlement will probably require sew
eral days, perhaps week, as many
as 125 seats in the convention are ex-
pected to be fought over, and on this
line all the anti Mckinley men will
unite their strength, in order to seat
as many as possible of those who will
vote against the Ohioan. The McKin-
ley men are already seeming that
danger and announced last week that
they will fight every such step, not
only in the committee on credentials
but also in the convention. They say
that under no circumstances, what
ever the result may be, will they pres
ent their man to be defeated by the
nomination if the result hinges upon
these contested seats which may be
taken from them.
Wise men are already beginning to
see the elements of long and des
perate struggle in the convention,
which may cause it to be from the
very beginning most bitter gather
ing, and one out of which it will re-
quire the greatest of tact to produce
q harmonious rosu1t
The financial issue is evidently
bound to be most prominent one in
the convention, and the bitter feeling
which has already developed concern
ing it practically makes it impossible
to nominate Gov. Morton. No one
here believes bis name will be kept
before the convention more than two
ballots, if for SO long.
Although Mckinley is being men
toned as the chief representative Of
protection, it is noticeable that none
of the large manufacturing States
have as yet committed themselves to
his name. His strength, SO far, has
developed in the great agricultural
States, while Pennsylvania, New York
New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land and Massachusetts are under
stood to be opposed to his candidacy.
This is one Of the strange develop
ments in politics which has not yet
b aen explained.

The late Prof. Huxley used to en-
force upon young men the lesson of
defniteness by telling them story of
his own experience. He was attend
ing a meeting of the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science,
at Belfast, Ireland.
All the sdUdns in the town assembl-
ed regularly at certain hall. Prof
Huxley, having been up late one
evening, rose late in the morning, and
feared he should be late at the meet
ing. Coming out of his lodgings he
hailed one of the Irish vehicles known
as an outside car, and mounted it.
"Now drive FAST" he said to the
driver, "for am in great hurry"
Off went the driver at mad pace,
which almost threw the professor off
his seat, and began charging along
the road in somewhat indefinite
way. Presently it occurred to Hulk
ley to say, as he held on for his life,-
"My good man, do you know where
want to go?"
"No, yer honor" answered the
driver, coolly. 'sYou didn't tell me
where to go; but, anyway, Pm driv-
ing fast!'-Y Youths Companion.

IN HOLLAND.

The etiquette of the table ia some-
thing altogether different from ours.
When the plate is filled, the whole
plateful is cut up into pieces: and
then, laying the knife on the edge of
the plate, and resting the left hand on
the table beside the plate, the eater
uses only the fork. There NAV be
several courses, but they are all serv-
ed with one knife and fork and two
spoons for each person. There are
four meals, breakfast quite early,
kofj at noon, eete1e, or dinner, from
four to five, and supper at almost any
late hour.
The table is set by the ladies of the
family, and the process is very in
teresting. They first fetch a white
cloth about four feet square, which is
placed in the centre of the table. The
tables are also square, and the cloth
covers all but margin of about four
inches. A small tray is then brought,
bearing cups, plates, and saucers, one
for each person. After this the knives
and forks are laid, and a spoon
holder and general slop basin. Then
a spirit lamp is produced, the coffee
is ground, or the tea taken from it's
caddy and "made.' The butter-pot,
salt cellar, and sugar bowl are placed
on the table. The bread is placed in a
basket, the cake on a tray. The milk
is in a jug, cheese on a plate, soup in
a bowl. The china is always white,
the knives and forks with black
handles, and the spoons bright and
shining.
Imagine sitting at such table, the
scrimpy cloth, the basket of bread,
the continual kissing of the tea or
coffee over the spirit lamp, the pots
of butter and conserve passed from
person to person. There is no wait
ing, although, where there is a family
of children, there is a kinder .je- UroatlO
to wait on them. The hostess serves
with her own hand, but as soon as
the meal is finished, the housemaid
comes to take off the dishes. There
is no fixed rule about leaving the
table, but as often as otherwise, the
gentlemen leave first; and sometimes
the master of the house will light his
cigar before rising. Rule.

There are always some exceedingly
mean men in every community. They
never help along any worthy enter
prise, unless they can make a big
profit out of it for themselves. They
never give a cent for charity, nor loan
a dollar to a brother in adversely un-
less they are we'll secured, and are
sure of the highest rate of interest.
The mean man can be found in nearly
every town the world over. Every
body knows him and everybody hates
him, but he is alike Indifferent to
their likes or their hates, his princi-
pal business is to make and hoard
money, if he don't MAKE friends. But
what do they care if they don't make.
friends? Money is their god.

OUR GOVERNORS.

sOur almost unbroken list of small
governors for many years"
We take the above clause from yes
terday's Rutland Herald.
In the last twenty five years we
have had thirteen governors. Among
the thirteen ave the names of John
w Stewart, Asahel Peck, Horace
Fairbanks, Redfeld Proctor, John L.
Barstow, w. P. Dillingham;, Carroll S.
Page and q. A. Woodbury-eight men
who on the whole are the peers of
any eight men who have ever held
the governorship as far as legal, bust
ness and general intellectual qualifi-
cation are concerned.
To talk about an "unbroken list of
small Governors for many years" is
an insult to the State and to the able
and respected men who have held the
Governorship.-NeaCs.

Already the deficit of the fiscal year
has reached $21, O63, 419 with four more
months during which the shortage
can be increased. 1t looks now as if
the original estimate of 1913, 814, 920
would be substituted by deficit of
that amount. It is a condition that
confronts Secretary Carlisle, not a
theory-a condition that the people
have been studying for some time
past, and concerning which they will
render verdict in November next. 1t
is a remarkable fact that, while the
Wilson bill has been enormously in
creasing our imports Of foreign goods
it has been steadily decreasing the re-
venue derivable from customs duties.
Again, while the bill added heavily to
the whisky tax, the receipts of the in
ternal revenue department have been
steadily diminishing.

throughout the United States, asking
them to furnish at reasonable prices
to the United States department of
agriculture 10000, 900 packets of gard
en-, field and flower seeds, beginning
with asparagus and ending with
wheat. This number of packets will
give to each member and delegate in
the house of representative and to
each United States senator $4,000
packets for distribution among his
constituents, after deducting one
third of the whole amount in accord
ance with the law for distribution by
the secretary of agriculture. All seed
must be delivered on or before thirty
days from the seventeenth day of

does Abraham Lincoln, and are giving
his history and achievements in regu-

the representative from the First Dist.

THE Ex-ouEEM OF MADAGASCAR.
A Remarkable Woman, who Goes Bare-
footed In Worth Gowns.

A Remarkable Woman, Who Goes Bare
footed In Worth Gowns.
rbe defeated queen of Madagascar,
the third largest island in the world, is,
according to the London Woman, one of
the most interesting women of the mo-
ment. 1t is true that she has lately been
in trouble, but it seems now that the
chiyalrous French government will
leave her almost as well off as ever. Her
majesty's great charm lies in the orig
inality of her manners and of her habits
OF iife She wears So, 600 Worth dresses,
and goes about in them barefooted. She
chews tobacco and drinks champagne all
day long She imports perfumes from
Paris, but uses palm oil on her hair.
Many similar illustrations Of her Origi~
nality might be given. Her great passion,
however, was the acquisition of Worth
dresses. She wore them everywhere, no
matter how injurious to them the occu-
patton she was engaged in might be.
Visitors saw her majesty sitting on the
floor of her palace busily transferring a
meal of rice, oil and chicken to her
mouth with her fingers, and incidental
ly spelling a magnificent Worth creation
of silk, velvet and lace. The revenues
she derived from her unfortunate peo-
pie were sufficient to purchase her all
the dresses she needed.
She scarcely approved of all the vexa-
tious details of civilized feminine dress.
For instance, corsets, stockings and
shoes formed no part of her wardrobe.
When her majesty crossed the street on
a wet day, the foreign residents of her
capital were treated to a spectacle which
amused them, but which the natives
gazed at with awe and reverence. I'm
der these circumstances it may be imag-
ined that her majesty was very much
panied when she had to 60 to war with
the French, the source of all her finery.
But they proposed to annex her country,
and she had to make a stand. She ha-
rangued her people in the streets of her
capital, Antananarivo, and told them it
was a holy war, and made them swear
to follow to the death. At the first en-
counter with the French they showed
themselves useless.
Now, after q march into the interior
of Madagascar, during which they suf-
fered terribly from disease and other
hardships, the French have arrived at
Antananarivo, the capital AT first the
queen fed to the forest. Her supply of
Worth dresses had been getting low, and
she was in rags. On this account, proba-
bly,, she has come to terms with the
French. 1t is announced that she will
be permitted to reign as queen under
French protection, but that her husband,
who is likely to be more dangerous to
their interests, will be banished from
the island. The queen will have money
enough to buy a reasonable number of
dresses. She is good looking, having
regular features, without negro charac-
teristics, and light brown complexion.

dolph (colored), who was confined in
Montgomery County Jail here for a brutal
assault upon the Buxton family of Gath
eraburg, made June 3, as a result Of which
Sadie Buxton the n~ine-year-old daughter,
died was taken from Jail early Saturday
morning by a mob Of twecty or thirty
people and hanged. Randolph protested
his innocence. The mob was well organ
lied and the entire affair was conducted
quietly and quickly. The motive for
Randolph's assault On the Buxton family
has never been learned, but it is generally
believed it was doue in revenge for Buxton
testimony in a case against a friend of
Randolph's.
