A Freak in Winter Hat,

The white hat is freak of midwinter.
1t has little to recommend it to the wear er.
much to the mlliner in its readiness to
soil. Of course, the trimming is confined
to black. usually in big splashes of velvet
on the crown and in overhanging ostrich
plumes. A white hat is at best apt to look
over large; but nothing can be much
smarter than small white touue with
black ribbons and bunch of blue violets
and jet and silver ornaments.

Bryan's Foolish Words.

When Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska tele-
graphs to the Philadelphia Press
that "our people will never declare
at the ballot boxes that they are de-
pendent upon foreigners for finan-
cial system" heprobably thinks that
he is uttering words that have some
meaning, but if the phraseology that
he applies to the standard of values
were applied to any other standard
be would recognize the folly. of it.
We borrowed our weights and meas
ures from England, while the single
gold standard was not borrowed
from England, but was arrived at as
the result of our own experience.
Mr.. Bryan knows very well that a
law declaring the avoirdupois and
troy pounds to be equal would be
idiotic and impractical; he would
recognize at once the folly of pretend
ing that all bushels weighed so
pounds, oats as we'll as wheat; he
would recognize the impossibiIity of
maintaining the yard and the metre
as concurrent units of length, and
be would be able to tell as quickly as
any one the effect of a law making
the usual quart bottle illegal ten.
der" for quart. But when for diff
fering weights and measures differing
values are substituted he at once be-
comes as mad as a March hare and
asks triumphantly, care not the
American people able to attend to
their own business?" We suggest
that he ask himself whether the Amer
lean people can make two and two
five by way of proving their indie
pendence OF Europeans who think
two and two make four.-Journal of

tests between the different factions,
announced that he had taken the

did. A. j. Beebe of Swanton, an
other national delegate, gave his
views of the gathering, and took oc-
casion to score all press associations.
The platform as adopted declares
that all money should be issued by
the government, demands the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, and
the enactment by Congress of law
making it a "capital crime" to give

ton.

The Democratic New York Sun
says that the crisis that threatens
the country now is similar to that of
1862, when its very life was imper-
illed, and it appeals to Democrats
now to lay aside party ties as they
did then. There are thousands of
patriotic Democrats who entirely
agree with the Sun in recognizing the
danger to the country which would
follow the triumph Of the free silver,
communistic combine that captured
the Democratic party at Chicago.
Some of these Democrats havn't the
nerve and independence to follow
their honest convictions, and after
making wry faces they will stife con-
