One Of the men who are called by
reporters the ''lieutenants' of Mr.. Han
ma, OF Ohio. has taken the pains to say
that he is not in favor of instructing
the delegates at large Ito vote first, last
and all the time" for Governor McKin-
ley but that they shall vote for him
only so long as his nomination seems
probable. But who is to judge the period
in the balloting when the nomination of
an aspirant does not seem probable?
One delegate may conclude that the sue
cess of a leading candidate is not prob-
able when his vote on the third ballot is
not larger than on the second. Another
may hold that the time has not come
TO change until the candidate is falling
off on every succeeding ballot. If there
is conference at any time on the part
of the delegates as TO the time to change.
If it should come, it is a casting aside of
instructions. The delegates at large can
be instructed to vote for Governor Nc
Kinley until the man in another State
who is reported to have sent "instruc-
tons to his lieutenants i'm Indiana" to
instruct the delegates at large shall see
fit to direct them to vote for some other
candidate Instructions must be explicit
and rigid. Consequently the delegation
must be instructed in the ''first-and-las
manner or 1t must be put in the power
Of some superior authority to say when
it Is proper to vote for another candi-
date.

1t is due to Secretary Carlisle to say
that his visit to Chicago had no political
aspect The invitation to speak there on
sentatives Of labor and trade organiza-
TORS. and was entirely nonpartisan. The
1roquois Club. the leading Democratic
organization Of Chicago. desired to enter
tain Mr.. Carlisle at a luncheon and re-
ception. where he could meet the local
Democratic leaders, but he declined their
invitation on the ground that he did not
desire that any partisan political sig
nificance should attach to his visit. And
1T must be admitted he discussed the
money question not from the standpoint
Of a partisan, but from that of a thinker
and patriot.

There has been no better presentation
OF the cause of sound money than that
made by Secretary Carlisle at Chicago
able in Mr.. Carlsles record on the money
question and in his financial record as
Secretary of the Treasury. In past years
he has advocated free silver coinage. and
1t would be easy to embarrass him now
with Quotations from former speeches in
which he argued forcibly and plausibly
in favor Of that policy. AS Secretary of
the Treasury he has failed in some i'm
portant features OF practical finance. But
the country can afford to forgive Mr..
Carlisle much in the way OF past mis-
takes in return for his present able ad-
vocacy OF sound-money dpctrines. = No
doubt he knows that his present position
on the money question is inconsistent
with his former one. In the face of the
record he could not deny IL. But he can
afford to say with Emerson, "A foolish
consistency Is the hobgoblin of little
minds. adored by little statesmen and
philosophers and divines." II Is better to
be right than to be CONSISTENT. better to
change ones mind than persist in error

From that point Of view 1t is doubtless

CHICAGO, April 15.-Divsion OF opinion

by the decision Of the faculty In barring
Eugene ". Debs from speaking before the
students some time during the next quarter.
At meeting of the local oraforical asso-
citation it was agreed to invite the labor
leader. When the members Of the faculty
were appraised of the intended invitation
they Immediately sent out for the repre-
sentatives of the association and firmly. de-
handed that no such invitation should be
issued. They declared that Mr.. Debs be-
longed to a dangerous element and his APP
pearance at the University OF Chicago with
the sanction of the faculty would endanger
the standing of the Institution among the
orthodox. The Oratorical Association Is dis
posed to resent the position which the facul-
ty has taken.
