THE VOGUE OF THE PLUG" HAT

Roughly speaking. the average Englishman Is
pretty certain to make one Of two remarks when
he gets up in the morning II the sporting in
stinct Is strong In him-and It IL In most English
men-he exclaims Lets go and kill something"
But II he Is animated by desire to set the world
right he soliloquizes thus with himself: Go to-,
now; let us start Reform Movement" Next.
perhaps. to killing something. the Englishman
most loves to compel a lot Of other people TO be
good or at least better than they were before ac-
cording to his way OF thinking. 1t makes no diff
ference that the people he sets out to reform may
not be such very bad sort. that, on the whole,
they measure up fairly we'll to the standard OF
average worth and responsibility. They do some
thing. perhaps only think something. that
the Reformer has decided must not and shall not
be done or thought. SO ne starts a Movement,
with himself Leader. establishes a Propa-
ganda forms a Society with a name as long az
the moral law. and then goes up hill and down
dale making converts The number OF Move
ments that blossom out In England every year
into societies. with paid officials and portentous
reports Of good work done. Is past computation.
Many of them II Is true. are closely related to
the forward movement Of humanity. and are de-
serving of all the support they receive but others
are purely fantastic and visionary. like the So
''ciety for Protesting Against the Evil OF Using
THE Right Hand In Preference to the Left as
Contrary to Scripture and Common Sense" But
however visionary such societies are. they all get
support and make numerous disciples.
Here for instance Is Lord Ronald Cover. q

artistic world Of London, coming forward with 4

GLORYLNG In DISHONEST.

BOY Orator Bryan stood up In Chicago the
other night and boldly told his followers: I'VE
"are going to fight for that which some are
"peased to call dishonest money" That Is the
candidates declaration Of the meaning of this
platform:
1--WE demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both silver and gold mt the present
legal ratio of 10 to I. without waiting for
the MD consent Of any other nation. we
demand that the standard silver dOllar snail
be n full legal tender. equally with gold. for
NIL debts, ubIic and private. md we favor
such legislation as Will prevent for the
future the demo e tixatfOn OF any kind OF
IegaI-tender money by private contract.
We nre opposed to the policy and practice
Of surrendering to the holders Of the oblfEa-
lions Of the United States the option re-
served by law to the Government Of redeem
Ing such obligations in either silver or
gold coin"
THAT which some are pleased to call dis
honest money! Perhaps Mr.. Bryan thinks
that the farmers of Nebraska would not think
they were being paid in dishonest money II
they went to the savings-bank. where they had
each a hundred dollars saved up by careful
economies from the small prices received for
last years corn crop and received fifty-three
dollars each as payment I'm full Free coinage
would enable the savlngs-banks TO do just that.
The dollar which the poor man deposits is now
worth 100 cents. and can to-day be changed by
the savings-bank into a dollar In gold. If free
coinage comes the bank could take that dollar
Of gold and buy silver enough to make almost
two silver dollars. and with one Of them pay
of it's old debt to the poor man. And that, Mr..
Bryan says. Is the dishonest money policy
which means that one dollar Is worth just
las much as any other dollar, whether 1t Is in

"but not Of human being" These be swelling
words, and. It may be- true words; but what are
they going to amount to? Does Lord Ronald
Cover seriously expect to convert the Anglo
Saxon race from the plug" hat habit? II 80, he
is nursing chimera of the most chimerical kind
Even the Grand Old Man himself wouldn't sue
coed IN such a crusade For. mark you, the
plug" hat Is strong in its very weakness. and
sits securely on the head Of the Englsh-speaking
race not because II IL the ideal hat. but because
It isn't. 1t is uncomfortable says this lordly re-
former. OF course II Is: and therefore the aver
age Engshman will wear II and nothing else
when he Is dressed up and on public parade II
he wants to be comfortable he goes home and
gets into his dressing gown and slippers. The
fact that the plug" hat Is uncomfortable Is the
best possible evidence that 1t must be good form.
And when a thing Is good form what more can
you ask?
But, continues the critic, the plug" hat Is
hideous. The word "hldeous" Is. perhaps little
strong: ugly" would be nearer the truth. II,
however, Lord Ronald Cover thinks that the
English people will give UP the plug" hat when
ne tells them II Is hideous or ugly. he makes the
mistake Of his life. They know already that 1t Is
ugly. and that Is why they wear 1t. II 1t was
dream Of artistic beauty they would have none OF
II. The descendants Of the old sea kings are no
molly -coddles: they are not going to go around
wearing beautiful hats. Outside beauty Is a
snare: what matters 1t. indeed. how ugly your
hat is II only your heart beats true to your native
land? Such would be the average Englishmans
defence Of the plug" hats ugliness II he ever
thought It worth his while to defend what needs
no defence. The plug" hat Is both uncomforta-
BILE and ugly Very true. But It is an evolution OF
Anglo-Saxon civilization. 1t was not reasoned
into it's present shape. and 1t is certain that 1t
will not be reasoned out Of existence, even
though Parliament and the Bench OF Bishops
should start a Movement with that object in
view

A PLEDGE FROM NEBRASKA.

The Young Mems Republican Club OF LIN
coln Neb the home Of the Democratic candi-
date for President, has sent to Major Mckinley
a message Of congratulaion and support con-
tanning these words: I'VE have been in battle
array In this State against Populsm until
lighting vagaries such as the Chicago platform
has become an accustomed thing. Situated as
I'VE are, IN the disputed territory, we welcome
"the conflict" This Is an admirable expression
of just the right spirit. The letter to Mckinley
also SAYS that the club Is stronger In member
ship and influence than ever before during the
nine years Of it's existence, that the nOmina-
ton of Mr.. Bryan, citizen Of Lincoln, by the
Democrats will only make the organization
more jealous and determined, that the county
will cast an immense majority for the Repub-
lican ticket and that the State and Nation are
safe. These latter assertions would tend to
cause anxiety rather than confidence If they
stood alone The coolh headed reader Of them
in that case would be likely to say TO himself
that these Lincoln Republicans had more en-
thusiasm than discernment, that they did not
realize the magnitude Of their undertaking. and
were In serious danger Of neglecting to provide
the requirements Of q strenuous contest. But
read In connection with the rest Of the letter
their utterances appear we'll justified.
The members of the Young Mems Republican
Climb Of Lincoln expect TO be instrumental In
winning a decisive victory from Bryan In his
own county because they are accustomed TO
Acbting vagaries and know how to conduct
that sort OF warfare. They are Situated In

A good many Of our citizens who have been
vexed In spirit by the offensive signs that or-
trude themselves on their gaze day after day
will be glad to know that the Park C0mmlss'oh-
ers have formulated new rule on this matter
and that 1t Is their intention to enforce 1t rigor
ously. Their authority was bestowed by law
passed by the last Legislature. The particular
case brought TO their attention relates to the
hideous signs displayed on or near ST. Nicholas-
ave-, advertising all sorts Of wares. The peo-
pie have n right to be protected from these
things. The lawmakers have acted none too
soon, and the proper city officials should see
that the law does all that is expected Of 1t.
President Cleveland has not yet spoken out
regarding the work Of the Chicago Convention
but one member Of his Cabinet made guarded
utterance on the subject yesterday. This was
Secretary Herbert All he was willing to say
for the public was that he would not support
the Bryan Sewall ticket. OF greater slgnifi-
canoe was the declaration Of Assistant Secre-
tary Hamlin, Of the Treasury Department, who
1t is rumored, has had an interview with the
President since the nominations were made.
Mr. Hamln was outspoken In his condemnation
of the Chicago mob, and declared that all Dem
ocrats should ally themselves against forces
Of lawlessness that are inconsistent with the
maintenance Of the Republic Apparently 1t is
Mr.. Hamlin's idea that no third ticket should
be put in the field. but here again the members
of the Administration are doubtless waiting for
their chief to give the cue. But Mr.. Cleveland
Is too much absorbed in fishing to take hand
in politics, although it is evident that the longer
he waits the less force his deverance will
carry.

THE SILVER KlNG]
VIII Be Greeted by Thousands in Dem
yer at the Opening of the Silver
Campaign of 1900.
1O-24-til noylO

Denver, Col, Nov. 11.-When VIM. J.
Bryan reaches Denver, Nov. "a, he will
be greeted by such an outpourng of the
people as has never been witnessed west
of the Missouri. The occasion will be
made the opening of the silver campaign
of 1900.
Bimetallists of national fame will be
here. Invitation is to be extended to
Chairman Jones and prominent men of
Denver, regardless Of political utilization
will join in making Mr. Bryan feel that
he is among friends who will follow wher-
ever he leads. The Chamber of Com-
merce held a meeting yesterday after
noon and another Will be held today to
complete the arrangements. The plan Is
to have Mr. Bryan speak In half a dozen
halls and If he can remain over two days
to give a parade that all who cannot hear,
may see him. The reception will be Of
national significance as sounding the bu-
gle for the rally four years hence. All
of the large halls of the city will be OPP
ened. 1t Is a safe prediction to state
that 100000 visitors will be in the city
from the mountains and the surrounding
towns. The men who are promoting the
reception are ex-senator N. p. Hill, Sem
ator Teller Congressman Shafroth, E. r..
Jeffrey, c. S. Thomas, 7. M. Patterson,
Il. B. Coe, and President Steele, of the
Chamber of Commerce.
Realizing that Mr.. Bryan has been ia
tigued by the campaign he will be asked
only to say few words at each meeting
to the people of the commonwealth that
rolled up such a large majority for him
at the late election.
