wear 1hetn hereafter.
1t is difficult to find any of the sub
altern officers and even captains of the
guards regiments at Berlin who has not
until now considered a monocle as part
and parcel of his military equipment
The one quality which the dashing Prus-
sian officer prizes above every other is
that of "Schneidigkeit,' which may be
broadly translated as swagger. Now to
''Schneidigkeit'' a monocle has hitherto
been regarded as indispensa BILE, and one
can imagine the CONSERVATION which has
been created at Berlin by the issue of a
general order by the Kaiser prohibiting
the use of monocles. A couple of days
subsequent to the appearance of this
command he stopped in the streets and
placed under arrest several young Off
GERS whom he met with their glasses
screwed in their eyes. He declares that
it the officers are short sighted they can
wear spectacles or pince-nez, but that
the monocle is nothing but ridiculous
affectation, his ukase being manifestly
aimed in a measure against his brother
in-law, Prince Frederick Leopold, who
has been accustomed to use a glass of
this kind

Princess Beatrice will continue to

was made life giant at the time of
her marriage. BY the death of the
Duke of Clarence his brother and sis

already said, silver had an equal footing
with gold in the mint until it was de-
moLetized in 1873. It's advocates de-
mand that this footing shall be restored
TO it, and have there inscribed on their
standard, Free coinage at 16 to IL
In answer to the objection that the
present ratio between gold and silver is
at net 81 to 1, they point out that the
present difference between the market
value of gold bullion and the market
value of silver bullion is due to the dis
elimination made against the white
metal when the doors of the mint were
slapped in it's face. Open those doors,
they say, and silver will soon recover it's
value and the old ratio between the two
metals will be restored.
Keep the doors shut tight shout the
bankers, the money lenders and the men
of fixed incomes, who hate silver because
they feel it will interfere with their
gains by making metallic money more
plentiful, which would have the effect Of
diminishing its purchasing power. The
issue is thus made up. 1t is gold versus
silver. The voters seem to have made up
their minds to fight it out on that line.

THE HAPPY ONES.

The ticket nominated by the Republi-
cans of Hennepin county last Thursday ap~
pears elsewhere in this weeks Irish Stand
ard Many of the old time officers were
turned down and the younger element takes
possession. In the makeup of the ticket
the Scandinavian element fares exceed
ingly well, securing Peterson for attorney,
Holmberg for sheriff, and Dahl and Simon
son for legislative honors. The Germans
get nothing, their only candidate, DR..
Kistler being defeated for coroner. The
French were also unlucky, notw.thstand-
ing the supposed "inf1oonce" Of the Papi-
neau Club. The Irish element, which never
gets left altogether, is honored by the Sc
lection of John Mahoney for county COM
missioner in the First district. He won
out ON the 14th ballot, in one of the hottest
fights ever known in Hennepin county. In
the Third Commissioner district, M. w.
Mash was defeated for denomination, and
the place given to Charles Wilkins.
, The ticket is one selected for the catch
ing of votes irrespective of the merits Of
candidates. In saying this, however, moth
ing is intended against the personnel Of
the candidates selected.

BEN SAT ON Hin.

Hanna wrote ex-President Harrison to
prepare a speech for the campaign as
early as possible and as he, Hanna, at
that time had decided to make the tariff
the chief issue, he desired the ex-presi-
dent to give that subject his particular
attention. -" 4.
1T is our purpose" he wrote, "to give
the tariff the main track and let the
money question lie on the siding as much
as possible"
Harrison in his short answer proved
himself to be better politician and a
shrewder man generally than is the NC
Kinley manager He said in substance
that he had completed his plans for the
summer and did not know when he
could go into the campaign, but never
theless he said it was his observation that
the money issue had already possession
Of the main track and that the tariff was
resting as comfortably as possible on the
siding and that it would most likely re-
main there. That closed the correspon-
dence and Hanna has since become unde-
cided as to the course he had better pnr-
sue-whether to raise the banner Of
tariff or shout for the gold standard,

HOW THEY WERE NO MINATED.

The only Republican who ever received
his first presidential nomination on the
first ballot was Grant Lincoln was nomi-
mated on the third ballot in 1860. Blaine
got the nomination in 1884 on the fourth
ballot: Hayes was nominated on the sew
entn ballot in 1876; Garfield got it on the
thirty-sixth ballot, and Harrison the thir-
ty-e:ghth ballot in 1888.
And then compare this record with the
way in which Bryan was nominated. Even
Garfield himself did not receive the ova-
ton that carried Bryan through against
all opposition.
Taking into consideration the action of
the Populists and silverites in st. Louis
Bryan will have walk over and McKin-
ley and Hanna can look at each other in
wonderment and ask themselves from
which way the cyclone came. Hanna will
have to pay the bills and the gentleman
from Canton will sit in retirement wonder
ing why if he was so soon done for what he
was begun for. The cry will then go up
in earnest, whats the matter with Han

BROADENING IDEAS.

Could this country have more men like
St. John, of New York, the president Of
bank who gave up $4,000 a year in
order to follow his convictions, there
would be less misery and less cries Of
the inequality of justice heard in the
land. St. John had nothing to gain
practically by doing as he did. He could
have kept his mouth shut about the
financial needs of the country and re-
tanned his place, but his love of justice
proved stronger than his love of emolu-
ment and in this way he gave up what
the majority Of men would cling to. He
did it in order to serve the nation.
Millions of men in the East are as
thoroughly convinced of the necessity of
free silver as is st. John, but their love
of gain is greater than their philan-
thropy.
1t is true that it must be a. sacrifice for
men to discard a principle that is paying
them handsomely and yet this money
making country has produced scores of
men who have done that thing.
The nation Is broadening in ideas ir-
respective of the men who laugh in their
sleeves at the tOiler.

It is said that Ex-Governor Russell, Of
Massachusetts, died of broken heart
because of the action Of the Chicago con-
vention. To make the assertion more
specific he is reported to have said the
day after the close of the convention
that he never felt worse in all his life,
and that the action of the convention
hurt him more than # his own son had
brought down some disgrace upon him.
While the ex-governor may have felt
sore and disappointed, it is not at all
likely he took the matter SO much at
heart as to cause his death. Strong men
physically and Intellectually do not die
because either one principle or another
may have been adopted at a convention
Such stories are gotten UP for effect dur
ing a campaign, but they are easily seen
through and disposed of.

TO 4.

A vast amount Of matter has been writ
ten in explanatioR Of the free silver ques-
ton and yet there are people asking daily
as to the meaning Of 16 to J. and the gold
standard. The following is the definition
given by the director of the mint and
as it is short and comprehensive it is
reproduced:
''Free and unlimited coinage of silver,
as used in the Chicago platform, means
that our minis will receive and coin into
money or bars, free of charge all the sill
YER of standard fneness which may be
presented, unless by legislation the
only. The term, 16 to /, means that the
pure silver in the standard dollar weighs
about 16 times as much as the gold in the
gold dollar. A silver dollar now contains
STA grains of silver, while gold dollar
contains 23A grains of gold. At the time
of establishment OF the United States
minis, congress fixed the ratio between
the silver and gold to be used in the re-
spectiye coins as Is ounces Of silver to l.
Of gold. Later on it was found that this
ratio placed too high a, value on silver
and the ratio was changed to 16 to 1. At
that time the French were using the ratio
Of 151A to 1. At the present time the
value Of silver in the markets OF the
world is in the ratio of 80 ounces of silver
to 1 ounce of gold; that is, one ounce of
gold will buy 80 ounces Of silver"

John Willoughby to 10 months; Maj. r

CHANGING THEIR TUNE.

The Republican newspapers, as rule,
have never found anything worthy OF
praise in the Populist party, but on the
contrary, they have made 1t the subject
of ridicule.
In discussing the nomination Of Bryan
by that party at st. Louis they seem to
have found that there is something wor-
thy in the party after all. The Tribune
of this city last Sunday said:
sarhe Populist party has been betrayed
by its leaders into the hands of the enc
nv. The nomination Of Bryan was forced
through at St. Louis yesterday by bull
doing and browbeating methods which
would have put to shame gathering OF
-Klux-Klan in the old reconstruction
days. aided by the arbitrary and unfair
rulings of the chairman, Senator Allen.
The middle-of-the-road Populists, who
are the sincere, earnest and honest nue.
leus Of the organization, were over
sJoughed by the policy men and hangers
on who are out for the spoils and perquis-
ties of office. The men who were deter
mined to have Bryan nominated are men
who care little for Populist principles or
the welfare Of the Populist party, but
who do yearn for victory in the nation
al election And to achieve such victory
sthey are willing to sacrifice principles,
platform, consistency and party organizes

cause in America that the recent st. Louis
convention should rise above PARTISAN
ship and nominate Bryan. The conven-
ton has done so. Our Democratic free
coinage friends have argued that Popu-
lists should rise above partisan prejudice
to patriotism and nominate both Bryan
and Sewan. The Populists in reply say:
1--WE agree with you that patriotism
should override partisanship in this
campaign of principles. Therefore, we
also commend Democracy to that rule.
We, on our part are glad to surrender
party in the cause of patriotism and ac-
cept Bryan. Now we commend patriotism
of our Democratic friends and ask them
to accept Watson Patriotism is a good
thing; good for Populists and good for
Democrats
How is the Populist party surrendering
anything to Democracy when it accepts
Bryan, whom they admit is a Populist?

BRYAN'S TELEGRAM.

There has been much discussion con-
corning the contents Of the telegram
sent by Bryan to Jones and although the
telegram has not been given verbatim to
the public tits asserted by one who saw
and read it to be substantially as follows:
considering all circumstances and
conditions have concluded that the Pop
ulist convention should not consider my
name for the presidency, but if it deter
mines to nominate me Notwithstanding
this declaration, that there may be no
misunderstanding, I desire in advance to
say that shall not during the campaign
discuss any other issues than those out,
| lined in the Chicago platform. / desire
above everything else to be instrumental
in having enacted into the laws OF the
| United States the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the present
ratio of 16 to 1 without awaiting the con-
! sent of any other country.
'The Republican platform adopted at
St. Louis asserts that the bimetaalic sys-
tenn should be restored, but that the
American people are helpless to bring
about bi1netalHsm for themselves until
foreign nations are willing to assist. The
American people cannot surrender the
right to legislate for themselves on all
questions, and so long as the right is
DISPUTED it surpasses all others in import
ance.
"The Populist platform presents sew
eral new issues to discuss which during
this campaign will in my judgment en-
danger the success of the cause. am net
willing to be a party 70 anything which
will divert attention from the money
question. Nor am willing to be placed
in the attitude of securing help from other
political organizations by sacrificing my
associate upon the ticket. He is as
squarely upon the Chicago platform as
am myself, and he has defended the
cause of bimetallism against greater op-
position than have the men of the west
and the south. I desire to be left free
to support sewal2 during the campaign.
cit is due to myself and the Populist
convention that there should be the most
outspoken frankness between us.
It would seem to any unbiased mind
that more manly and patriotic senti-
ment could hardly be conceived. The
situation is summed up intelligently and
no objections can he justly taken to it.

nomination and to defeat any attempt
to put genuine representative Of the
Peoples Party in the feld.''
So it would seem that the Popuhsts
have principles. a platform, constituency
and party organization. In view of these
facts it would not appear that there was
a great deal of consistency in the papers
which now admit that the Populst party
may be something more than bundle ct
vagaries. However, there is a method
in all this madness, and that method is
to defeat Bryan by every scheme or de-
vice known to the modern politician.

The Irish Standard recently published
convincing refutation of Congressman
McCleary's speech in congress upon free
silver in answer to Congressman Towne's
able argument upon the same subject.
The Republicans have already sent
about 10000 copies of McCleary's speech
and the national committee is now ready
to send out 100000 more. It would be
we'll for readers to turn to the criticism
referred to of that speech and read it
again.

It is thought that neither the Populists
nor Silverites will formally notify Bryan
of his nomination by their parties, but
instead ratification meeting will lie
held by them in New York on Aug. IL,
when his nomination for the presidency
will be announced. 1t seems to he the
determination of the people that Bryan
shall not be los: sight of until after the
election in November, when he will be
greater in the eyes of the people than
ever-for term of four years at least.

The communication Of Judge Mcdonald S
published elsewhere in this issue criti-
cises the action OF Hon. u. w. Lawler
and others in boiling the Democratic
platform, but in doing so he criticises
men who unquestionably acted with the
utmost sincerity and conviction. It can
not be justly questioned that they had
any othea. object in view than to live up
to their honest political belief. The fnan-
cial question is one that is not yet settled
and honest minds are Numerically op-
posed concerning it.
