In THE course of his speech at
Detroit recently Senator John M.
Palmer said, as reported in the
New York World, q goldbug paper:
"For myself / would prefer to live
under a righteous monarchy rather
than submit to such principles as
those declared by the Chicago con-
vention.n
1t is lucky for Senator Palmer
that he is living under q govern
ment that permits free speech;
otherwise his remarks would be
considered reasonable and hostile
to the government to which he
holds high Office and to which he
owes allegiance. Senator Palmer
should not be permitted to hold
his place in the United States Sem
ate single day. When he says
he prefers monarchy rather than
to submit to the Chicago platform,
he violates his allegiance to the
Constitution. He should be inn
peached as soon as the senate
meets. A senator was once expell-
ed for similar but far less fagrant
offense.

THE La Grande Chronicle says
of Gen. Williams speech in that
city: General Williams made no
votes for Mckinley in La Grande.
His abuse Of the opposition was
entirely uncalled for, and only res
pect for his gray hairs prevented
an outburst among the many Bry-
an men present. The people of La
Grande, regardless of politics, are
always ready and willing to listen
to fair discussion of the issues,
but when a public speaker heaps
abuse upon the opposition, as Mr..
Williams did last night, it only
proves that he is not up to the
times and lacks the spirit Of fair
ness that characterizes nearly all
public speakers of the day.

ANOTHER special reason inclin-
ing the British to compel the clos
ing of the American mines is that
they are large producers of gold in
South Africa and Australia, and
desire profitable market for its
use. Having no considerable de-
posits of silver in their colonies,
they forced its abandonment as a
money metal in order to give a
monopoly to gold, Their success
in these movements is largely due
to the lack Of appreciation among
the eastern people of the extent
and producing capacity of the
western mining section.

In SEVERAL parts of the country
the attempt Of the Cleveland dem
ocracy to pass itself off as the
"National Democracy" encounters
legal difficulties which are likely
to prove insuperaDle. Where the
Australian ballot is in use, the
names of the presidential electors
have to be officially printed under
the name of the party they repre-
sent; and in more than one state
the officials refuse to allow the
name of the democratic party to be
thus employed by a faction which
does not claim to have more than
million votes, and which probab'
ly will not poll half SO many. 1t
is as clear case of usurpation OF
an established name as could be
presented. Yet the republican Of
fcials in Oregon have acceded to
the demand of their friends who
follow the indianapolis lead, and
have put their electors on the Of
fetal ticket as those Of the Nation
al Democratic party. This is simp-
ly making themselves accomplices
in a political fraud, and it is set
ting a precedent which the repub'
licans may have reason to rue in
the near future. In politics. what
ever may be called "fair," nothing
safe but fair play.

uation:
"For some years the chry-
socratic press has been having
spasms over the loss of gold by
this country, and predicting its
complete retirement if the agita-
tion for free coinage was not stop
ped in this country. Now on the
eve of the first presidential election
upon which the question is plainly
submitted to the votes Of the peo-
pie, we see gold coming this
way by the millions and England
is having fits trying to hold enough
of the tricky metal to do business
with. If we vote Mckinley in the
old process will be renewed and
gold will GO the other way, as it
did in 1891 and '92 under the old
Mckinley tariff, and then we will
be the parties doing the squealing.

The photographers Ear.

ANY operator who Is accustomed to
work by sound with mon every day can
tell In an instant just who Is working the
key. There is something peculiar In the
way each operator opens and closes his
key. OF course IL Is entirely a matter OF
education OF tho ear Another evidence
of the susceptibility Of the aural nerves to
education Is the fact than an operator can
receive and copy u message and ut the
same time distinctly hear and comprehend
everything that Is being said by others In
the room. He can be very busily engaged
at anything, and yet his ear will take In
everything that is said near him. An
other peculiar thing Is the fact that teleR-
rapher working at night will lay his
head within two inches of q working in
strument and sleep as soundly as though
In bed. He will not be disturbed In the
least until his own Office call is sounded

NOT DEAD UNTIL BURIED.
Nubar Pasha's Twenty Mile Ride with
Japanese Princes Corpse

Among the queerest features of court
etiquette OF the old world are those in con-
nection with royal and imperial deaths.
This Is wildly brought home TO one by
the grim circumstances surrounding the
demise of the japanese imperial prince
and field marshal, Kitashirakawa, who
succumbed TO fever while in command of
the mikado's army of occupation in the Is
Iand Of Formosa.
Japanese court etiquette requires that
no publication or official intimation of the
death of member of the reigning family
shall be made until after the celebration
OF certain mortuary ceremonies In his or
her own palace.
The dead prince was, therefore, brought
all the way back from Formosa to Tokyo
as live man. The general order announc-
Ing his departure to the troops under his
command In Formosa bore his signature.
or what purported to be such.
The man of war that bore his CORPSE to
the Japanese naval arsenal and seaport of
Yokosuka flew no emblem of mourning at
Its masthead; meals were served In the
cabin where the dead prince lay, and tho
military and naval daily reports were
mado TO his deaf ears every morning and
evening, just as were he alive.
On arrival at Yokosuka he was disem.
parked and received with naval and mill
tary honors as II he had been alive, and his
corpse, arrayed in the uniform of field
marshal, was seated In a salon carriage ON
the railroad, his staff taking their places
around him.
Arriving at Tokyo, he was conveyed not
to hearse, but to an ordinary coupe, seat
ed in which he was driven to his palace,
and It was only ON the following day that
the public and official announcement Of
his demise was made.-Boston Globe.

One Of NE Eminent Actors Tricks That
Was Highly Successful.
Being as entertaining off the stage as he
was on It, Mathews the elder was in great
demand at dinner parties ON days when
his Eat homes, as he called them, were
not being held. On one occasion Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathews were engaged for dinner
when a sudden call OF urgent business
obliged him TO forego the expected pleasure
and travel short distance into the coun.
try instead. There was no time TO send an
excuse, SO Ii was decided that Mrs. Math-
ews should 60 by herself and make all
needful apologies for her husbands defoo-
ton. She went and found her host and
hostess much disappointed at her coming
alone. However they made the best of It,
and the hostess said, well, though we are
very sorry not TO see Mr.. Mathews, IL Is
fortunate that there will DO no vacant
chair, for cousin Of my husbands has
just arrived Unexpectedly from Scotland,
who will fill the place, though he cannot
charm us with brilliant conversation
The cousin, Mr.. Bulteel, was introduced
TO Mrs. Mathews and took her down to
dinner. In fact, he seemed quite smitten
with her and TO forget that she was mar
ried woman, so that she felt quite annoy
ed at his manner.
After dinner, when the gentlemen came
into the drawing room, Mr.. Bulteel imme-
diately made for Mrs. Mathews. A lady
who was sitting beside her was shortly
called away To the piano, and Mr.. Bulteel |
seized the vacant chair. Here he continued |
his embarrassing attentions till at last the |
poor lady could endure it no longer. Rush |
ing across the room, she seized her hosts |
arm and entreated him to protect her. He |
appeared greatly shocked, and In the hear
Ing of all his guests called the culprit up /
to apologize Looking very much asham- |
ed, he crossed the room. She just glanced /
1T him, then looked appealing at her host.
Look at him again, +" said the host, and /
she did so. Lo, Oh his knees before her
but with an air of anything but contritiop.
his eyes sparkling with merriment, knelt
Ter husband. He had feigned the call
nto the country and arranged tho whole
flair with the host, who in his turn made
lis wife believe that the stranger was his
ousin. Mathews wished to prove that he
ould so manage his features and his voice
IS to deceive even his wife, and he cor
ainly succeeded. -Temple Bar.
