will be ut no uncertain meaning.
Protection to American industries,
increased revenue, and reciprocity.
To the latter two thirds of this plank
nearly all citizens will heartily agree
and tn the first third. II they do
not agree to 1t in principle, they are
still willing to permit it as ''inciden-
tai" Thatas we must have revenue,
we would better raise 1t from a tariff
on foreign manufactures than on ar
ticles not grown or produced in our
own country.
Al to the secondary question Of sill
YER. that Is as yet, not q national ts-
sue from any party standpoint ex-
cept the silver and the populistic
parties. Both the democrats and re-
publicans are divided as to the best
methods OF establishing G parity for
our coinage. In both parties we be-
lleve the greater majority favor BIZ
metalism; but as to the method Of
making each metal into coin convert
able at will with the other, Is where
the opinions differ. We do not ex-
pect or believe that the republican
platform will attempt to put into the
national platform any precise method
showing just how it will maintain bi-
metallism, for we don't believe they
have any such method as yet. But
we do believe they will declare posi-
tivey that free-c0inage is not the pro-
per tuethod, but that the first thing
70 do is to re-establish the credit Of
the ernment;believing that will do
more TO maintain the parity Of the
metals then any other one thing can.
Whenever it IS established by experi-
ence that the government is able and
willing to exchange gold and silver
for each other ON demand, and can do
it without borrowing Of Wall Street.
then will gold com aud silver coin be.
come. Of equal value. That is the
true republican doctrine ON silver.
So far as government should inter-
fere with the laws Of supply and de-
maud, and attempt to fix an arbi-
trary value on the two metals the
majority Of the party see no reason
for it. any more than fixing arbitrary
values on any other commodity.
But the leaders Of the republican par
ty grappied with many harder finan-
cial problems during the thirty years
following 1850, and solved them with
grand success. Mxny. Of those lead
ers are still alive and still at the
front. For us, and we believe we are
with the large emajority. we are will
ing to trust them to evolve some me-
thod OF putting all financial ques-
tions on a correct basis, and that the
details may be left with confidence to
their tried capabilities.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM!

no organization of sufhcient import.

there are certain, broad, clear, gener.
al principles underlying that party.
Perhaps the greatest weakness of
the populistic party is the lack of dis
tinct and clear principles of its own.
It is not the silver party. for the sill
verites have separated Into an organi-
:zation of their own. 1t is not Che
prohibition party nor the woman suf-

sues have distinct organizations.
Yet, outside Of these issues, all else
are either vagarles, like the sub-treas-

discarded long ago by the pops them
selves, or else, that general issue,

the populists fail. The proposition
itself IS absurd and the general prill-
k,cipal of class legislation is un-Ameri-

The basic principle of the demo-

The average man has twenty square

twenty five or thirty inches. If a man
with twenty square inches of face shayes
every morning, he will scrape over Z. 400
square inches in year. Now. if he
shaves from the time he is 90 until he is

Washington, July % Capt 4. l..

his annual report to the War Depart

states in order to enable deep draft YES
sells of the United States navy to reach
the navy yard on the Southern branch
and to accommodate the increasing COM
merce, greater depth is necessary and
during the year dredging was in progress
to accomplish this end. A balance of
800, 1902, is available for carrying on the
work. The volume of commerce passing
through the harbor in 1895 was S62, 641 :
G64
During the progress of tile work Oh the
AppomattoX river 1S, 900 cubic yards of
material We're removed. The amount
available for carrying on the project is
S5,0S0.
The inland water route from Norfolk to
Albermarle Sound through Currituck
Sound, the report states is one of the most
important links lin the chain of finland
water communication along the Atlantic
coast. The channels of this route seem
to maintain themselves very well, the only
apparent causes for deterioration being
by caving of banks due to the action of
swells of passing. steamboats, and from
the fact that RATS frequently run
aground. Dredging was,.in progress OH
this canal during the year. An available
balance of $40, 1886 remains on hand.

however, does not apply to uniforms and

twelve in year, at Il cost of $50 each.
The prince never wears n pair of trousers
more than four times, and, as his discard

of his valet. there is stock of thousands
of them at Marlborough House. At his
death he will doubtless have as large Il

The camera is, of course, the detectives

and in all central police offices, volumes
of photographs are preserved and studied
more assiduously than the most priced

dard. The police have shown such ten
der regard for the convicts who have
once passed through their hands that the
collection of photographs Mt Scotland
Yard amounts to 90, 000 and lest in the
whirligig of time some part of the dis
tinguished career of the original should
fade from official memory, a record. of
their past is written 10y the side of the
photograph.
Police officers come from far and near
TO inspect these albums. and an inconven.
lent habit. they have of recognizing a per-
son who has once been Gagged" makes
the convict very shy of the honor they are
always anxious to bestow upon him be-
fore restoring him TO freedom. Nor are
the authorities content with the ordinary
picture. They like to have the convict
both full face and in profile, and accomp-
fish their end by the exceedingly ingeni-
Gus but simple expedient of placing a
mirror near the convict's head. Profile
and full face are thus obtained at one
sitting.
Photography has thus rendered it prac-
lcally impossible that any man who has
been convict can. on the commission of
a second crime, enjoy the benefit of be-
ing regarded as first offender.
