time Jack has taken little or no interest in
mundane affairs He is close to ninety
years OF age, but is remarkably sturdy, al

open air and having led an abstemious life.
His wife was few years his junior. day
or TWO ago Jack told the story of how he
and Hetty came to- be married. The story
was new to everybody in Ewing's Neck,
Jack and his wife having moved into that
section many years ago from a point some
forty miles away.
When Jack and Hetty were young people
southern New Jersey was wild country

BEGINNING OF THE END.

The recent action of the five Repub
lican senators in refusing to vote to
take up the Republican house tariff
bill has started no end of comment and
speculation relative to its influence on
the national party conventions to be
held this summer. The Cincinnati En-
quirer describing and commenting on
the situation says
The failure Of the senate to take up
the tariff bill on Tuesday, through the
power of the silver men in that body.
has been discussed in the papers as
matter of deep significance. The scene
was rather startling. The aged Sena-
tor Morrill, threw up his hands and
declared that the Republican party
was not in control of the senate, and
proceeded to read, Theoretically, sew
eral Republican senators out of the
party. He had a fiery response from
Mr. Teller. who gave notice that he
and other silver Republicans were 60
ing to remain in the party and demand
recognition. There is trouble ahead. A
good many journalistic commentators
are OF the opinion that there is great
danger Of a split on silver in the Re-
publican national convention. The sill
yer men from the western states,
whose electoral vote the Republicans
will need, will be on hand demanding
recognition. An equivocaI platform
cannot keep the fighting spirit down.
Everybody is in earnest this year.
The New York Times, in viewing the
situation, says:
whether Mr. Morton shall appear as
a serious candidate or simply as a
counter in Platts game; whether Mr..
Reed shall add to his New England
strength the purchased influence i1f
Quay and strength from like sources
sufficient to make him a Formidable
candidate: whether Mr.. Harrison shat

to retract his refusal of the nomination

THINGS IN YELLOW.

1t is really astonishing sometimes
how peoples views may be tinged with
preconceived notions It is said that to
one afflicted with the weakness of jeal-
ousy, things take on an emerald hue
To one afflicted with the jaundice all
things appear to be yellow; and no
one can read the eastern press without
forming the painful conclusion that
those afflicted with the mania of sin
gle gold standard also see all things
in yellow. Or to speak more plainly,
they see in everything proposed in con-
Sress an attack on the gold standard
of the country. Here, for example,
is the Baltimore Sun, that has won
nearly everybody's good opinion by its
wise conservatism and all round eff
Gent and clean Journalism, saying on
the proposition to recognize the bellig-
erency of the struggling Cuban pa
triots:
a member of the house foreign af-
fairs committee says that recognition
of the Cuban insurgents will bring on
war with Spain, and war would drive
the United States to a silver basis
the deficiency in the treasury with sill
yer would be irresistible. at would be
said that this is merely a war meas
ure; that the emergency justified the
use of silver, and, as a war measure
silver would come into our currency
Just as everything else vicious in our
currency system is the result OF war
emergencies" Upon this assumption
the zeal Of certain senators in behalf
of the Cuban revolutionists can be
easily understood. They would not
hesitate to plunge this country into
war, if by hook or crook they could at
the same time fasten a debased cur
rency upon the people. 1t would be a
very adroft way to force gold to the
wall and to give the silver mine owners
chance to sell their product at twice
its value But between recognition Of
Cuban belligerency, with the possfbil-
ity Of war with Spain, and free silver
coinage there can be but one choice. A
debased currency would be more dis
astrous to this country than the with
holding of recognition would he to the
Cuban insurgents.
Is not the Suns vision tinted with
gold yellow? We suggest to the Sun,
since it seems not to have occurred to
it in its reflections on the subject, to
consider this proposition: If this single
gold standard so excellent in the es-
timation of our eastern friends as the
| only staple financial policy for our
government, rests on so frail a basis
that a war with Spain in behalf Of
Cuba is likely ito force gold to the
WALL and bring silver to the front-if
the single gold standard, we say, rests
on so infirm a basis as that, is it
worth the while of our eastern friends
to waste their strength in support Of
the lettering thing? Is it so that this
most excellent financial system-tflis
system based on a single gold standard
in the opinion Of this eastern advocate
could not endure the strain of war
with Spain without going to pieces and
making way for silver? Let the Sun
think of it.

FROM POLITICIAN TO MONK.

It is often the case that preachers of
the gospel turn politicians, and forsake
the pulpit for the stump; but rare in
deed for politicians to turn priests and
least of all monks. The infrequen-
cy of politicians turning priests is
more especially true in those cases
where the politician has bright politi-
cal prospects. The allurements of pub
lie life are then such that few indeed
will turn from them to the obscurity
and life to self-abnegation attendant
upon the priests life.
Perhaps one of the most startling
instances of the politician with a bright
future turning priest is found in the
announcement that comes of the
avowed intention Of brilliant Bourke
Cochran, Of New York, to turn monk.
The report says that Mr.. Cochran has
applied to a Jesuit seminary for ad
mission as a nonastic noyitiate. A
representative of the New York Journ-
al called upon him the other day and
asked him If the report of his turning
monk was true. Concerning that" he
Salu a1ler a pause, L nave nOInlnS 10
say" do you say that the report is
absolutely without foundation?" per-
sisted the reporter. NO." answered
Cochran, "but 1 positively refuse to
discuss this matter"
It is said that the loss of his wife,
which happened about eighteen months
ago, has SO saddened him that active
secular life has lost for him all inter
est If Mr.. Cochran does give up sec
ular life for the church, the Democratic
party will lose one of it's most bril-
liant members, whose future prospects
in that party were of brightest promise;
and the Catholic church will secure to
its service g, man who will be an or
nament to its ministry. IF Mr.. Cock
ran. bright lawyer, brilliant orator
promising statesman, and genial gem
tleman in this rude world has found
briars and thorns that have torn him,
and sorrow has saddened his heart un-
/ til all uses of this world seem stale,
fiat, and improbable, we hope that in
the holy calm of the church, and in its
labors of love and devotion to the af-
/ f1icted he will find the consolation that
shall be as balm to his sick heart
