From the New York World Dem).

The undemocratic. dangerous and de-
structive free silver plank in the pla1-
form proposed at Chicago so neutralizes
and nullifes all the rest that the other
resolutions might as well have been omit
ted. BY declaring for a debasement Of
our currency and the semi-repudiation
of public and private debts the conven~
tion will make this the only real issue
of the campaign. Nothing else will be
seriously considered. 1t will dominate the
canvass. Ii will decide the election. II
IS blunder that would be inconceivable
If II had not actually been made. 1t
pushes democracy out and brings popu-
ism to the front. II will render support
of the ticket impossible by hundreds OF
thousands of democrats. The Democratic
party of the nation has deserved better

tus-like blow they have dealt it at Chi
Cago.

Enemies of state Banks.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem

One OF the strongest appeals the de-
mocracy made to the country four years
ago, one of the noblest principles in its
platform at that time, was a demand of
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state
bank issues. A democratic President ana
a democratic Secretary of the Treasury
urged upon congress the fulfilment of this
promise to the people, but that body, I'M
der control of an element which consid-
cred free silver the only thing to be de-
sired, ignored this wise counsel Mr.
Bland, the most prominent candidate be-
lore the Chicago convention, was the
Virulent enemy of the state banks, and
Mr.. Crisp. as speaker of the House, vir-
tually packed the coinage committee
against repeal Of the state bank tax.

on which was written the advice that the
President. the Secretary of the Treasury
and Senator Sherman be taken out and
lynched. The postal laws do not permit
such incendiary documents circulated
through the mails. at least without a
cover. SO the Boies constituent, whose
name is Faron. has been arrested and
locked up.

They Are Really Souvenir spoons.


Everything in the studio is queer and
artistic, says the Chicago Tribune. Not
that the words are synonymous. People
have gotten into the habit Of believing
that queer things" even things that to
the uninitiated appear ugly, are necessa-
rily "artistics." This is a mistake; but
in this studio things are artistic-and
queer. All but the spoons. They are sur
prisingly free from freakishness. They
are all the same shape and pretty much
the same size. They differ materially
only In their markings. A visitor studied
one OF them in a puzzled fashion the other
day. The mistress OF the studio watched
her in silence for a few minutes and then
came to the rescue.
Let me see which one you've got? Oh,
that's my City of Paris spoon!'

strange storx Of Thaekeray.

Many readers Of The Virginians" have
wondered how Thackeray was able
10 write 50 graphic ana cor
rect an account Of his her0's
escape from Fort Duquesne and his
journey through the wilderness, as Thack-
cray had never seen the magnificent valley
through which his gallant hero fed after
his daring escape. As a matter OF fact.
Thackcray did not write IL at ali, says a
London Journal.
he was al dinner in London with
Anthony Troliope. Nilkie Collins and
other celebrities.
The guests were settling down 10 their
wines and cigars when Thackeray. who

looking az his watch. exclaimed;
Gentlemen, I must leave you; I have
promised the printer q chapter Of the
Nirginians' to-morrow morning, and
haven't written line Of it yet. I hate TO
60 but i must; the printer is ineK0rable;
so. wishing you all another meeting when
I can be longer with you, bid you good
evening"
There wss pre9ent a minor author
named Kennedy. and Thackeray had al
most reached the door when ne called
him back and said;
Perhaps can write the chapter for
you. What are you going TO describe2'
The great novelist seemed a little as
tonished at this bold proposition, but he
was too polite TO say what he thought.
Kennedy, you are extremely kind. and
gladly would j let you write the chapter
for me. for hate to leave a jolly party
in the midi of fun"
Then DON'T all the company cried.

it,"
I have half a mind to let you do it.
Just for the fun Of the thing. 1t is a
chapter chiefly of descriptions, giving an
account Of my hero's escape from Fort
Duquesne"
If that's what you are writing about I
can do it, for 1 know every foot of the

Stunning his seat az the board. Let me

Mr.. Kennedy withdrew. and. going TO
his home. wrote the fourth chapter of

of the hero's flight was so accurate as to
the topography Of the country through
which he passed.

the horse to neighboring tree and then.

mighty NiiErods at his heels. They sue

were not satisfied at that, but tore dowr
fences to get long rails in order To roui
the animal from his hole. Finding that
they were of 70 use, they concluded to
smoke him ont, and after building the fire
the coon made his appearance and was
captured after a hard fight. The hunters
arrived home at a late hour.
