CHANGE wITH EXPERIENCE.

Those papers which are quoting the
records of public men upon the silver
question seem to proceed upon the as
what they said and did years ago, rather
than by what they have said and done
in recent years. If this assumption were
based upon experience there would be
no change and no progress. because the
beliefs which men first entertained they
must adhere to during their lives. There
are men who belong to party because
their grandfathers did, and who always
give that as the reason for their adhe-
sion, but they are narrow men whose
faces are turned to the past. In fact,
there can be no greater inconsistency in
intelligent men than what is called con-
sistency. Daniel Webster was a most
during his first years in the Senate, but
before decade had passed he made the
ablest speech of that period in favor of
protection. The experience of the years
between the first and the second speeches
was such as to cause a change Of opinion.
He would not have been a stateman not
to have changed. The years of the war
changed the sentiment of the whole coun-
try regarding slavery.
Just now certain papers are recalling
the records of several men who were in
Congress when the first free-coinage bill
was passed by the House and the Bland
Allison. or. more correctly, the Allison
bill, became a law. One of these papers
aserts that Mr.. Mckinley voted for the
Bland bill. as If he were an exception to
men Of his party in what is called the
West. when, as matter of fact, with the
exception of General Garfield and possi-
bly, two others. all the Republican mem
bers west OF the Allegheny mountains
voted for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver. This was in 1877, more than a
year before the resumption OF specie pay
ments. 1t was new proposition. and II
was not at that time discussed The Gin
cinnati Commercial, then edited by Mu-
rat Halstead. was strenuous advocate
| of free coinage. Even the Chicago Trib-
une, which has been presenting the rec
| ord of Mr. Mckinley, was then on the
same side. One of its contemporaries has
quoted one of it's editorials as late as
| 1887, in which IL advocated that which Il
now opposes in regard to silver. Mr.. Me.
dill and Mr.. Halstead have been led tc
change their views because the expert.
| ence~ OF the past fifteen years has no,
| been lost upon them. 1t is evidence OF
their intelligence and their fitness to b
! th> aditoru OF newspapers that they hav.
The Indianapolis journal., 1896-04-06

learned the Lessons taught by events 1t
is as much to the credit of all the Repub-
licans of the West who were in Congress
while they were urging the free coinage
Of silver that they have been to school
to experience, and have profited by the
teaching.
The party of progress is constantly re-
vising its creeds because conditions
change. If the Republican party did not
do so it would not be worthy Of its fa-
theirs and it's traditions. If Abraham Lin
coin had possessed that sort of consis-
teney which would have tied him to the
platform upon which he was elected.
with it's pledge not to interfere with
slavery in the States where it existed,
he would never have issued the emanci-
patton proclamation. When he first went
to Congress Senator Allison was free
trader. Experience has made him pro-
tectionist. If they were in Congress now,
not one in twenty of the Republicans
who voted for the Bland bill in 1877
would vote for it to-day, because they
and the mass of Republicans. and even
of Democrats who have not closed their
ears and eyes to the lessons of passing
events, are opposed to that proposition.
The events Of fifteen years have not been
lost upon them. Why are Republicans
confident Of carrying the next election?
Not because the Republicans of 1892 hold
to the faith, but because in every State
in the North thousands of men who did
not believe in Republican policies in
1892 have come to believe unreservedly in
them now. But for this change of senti-
nent, resulting from experience and in
formation. the Republican outlook would
not be so full of promise.

ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Gerald Massey, the veteran poet, is i'll.
He has recently suffered great domestic
sorrow by the death of his only son, a

but he is, with the possible exception or
DR.. Salmond, by far the greatest preacher
in the Irish church.
The late Lady Burton was credited with
saying that man frequently had many
characters-one for his wife, another for his
family. third for his men friends, a fourth
for boon companions, and another for the
public-but that ''the wife. II they are happy
and love each other, gets the pearl out of
the various oyster shells"
II do not believe" said w. ]. Arkell, the
other day. in San Francisco. that man
in active business can. afford to take any

the post of minister TO Japan. Said l, Mr..
Harrison, there is no Office you could name
that / would take, no matter how high
why said he, do you not think you ought
TO sacrfic your personal wishes sometimes
when you can be of service to your country?'
1 replied that / didn't think so. so long as
there were so many volunteers. When he
had volunteers he shouldn't use the draft"
cure for intemperance the other day. "Some
years ago." he said. 81 was with an officer
of the Russian army. This officer had in
his command an officer of great ability who
was addicted to strong drink. 1t was ar
ranged that the man should take dinner
along with that day. Instead of soup.
the first course served 70 him was brandy,
which he must swallow spoonful at a
time, just as he would have swallowed
soup. After the first spoonful he was so
sick that he implored TO be spared. Under
cover Of a drawn revolver the officer COM
manded him TO swallow every spoonful in
the pate. The officer never drank drop Of
liquor after that"
The London papers reported Mr.. Gladstone
las hard as nails on his return the other
day from the continent. AS one Of them
expressed it, 'he leaped out of the saloon
on to the Charing Cross platform with ali
the agility of man to whom a continuous
journey OF twenty-six hours is nothing
He gripped Mr.. Armitsteads hand, remarked
that he felt that he had made an unlaw-
full journey by trave,ing without him, and
then spent few minutes IN vigorous hand
shaking and vivacious conversation with his
trends. Mrs. Gladstone is looking much
better than when she left England. and has
regained the freshness Of color and cheeri-

An exchange which is enthusiastic in
it's advocacy OF the nomination of Gov
ernor Mckinley declares that he is
popular idol" He is an able man, of
attractive personality and clean life and
character, and enjoys wide popularity,
but this can be sad also of other candi-
dates. Mr.. McKn ley's campaign man.
ayers should be 81 little careful about
claiming that he is popular idol. They
may "hoodoo" him. If they will stop to
think or take pains to examine the record
ever been elected President. OF course,
the greatest popular idol, in a political
sense, the country has ever known was
Henry Clay. Only one other American
statesman ever possessed the quality
called personal magnetism to the same
extent that he did, and no other ever had
more enthusiastic personal following.
1924 to 1SiS but never reached the goal
He received thirty-seven electoral votes
in 1924, forty-nine in 1882 and los in 1874,
but never enough to elect him. Clay was
elected Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives on the first day of his first
term in that body, and was five times re-
elected; he was twice elected United
States Senator. once unanimously by the
Kentucky Legislature. and held several
other high offices. If there was ever
popular idol in the politics Of this country
it was Henry Clay But he could not be
elected President.
In 1860 William H Seward was a good
deal Of a popular idol. His long service
in the United States Senate. his able
advocacy of the principles on which the
Republican party had come into exist
ence and his brilliant forensic and liter
airy addresses had made him widely
known and very popular. AS politics go,
he had fairly earned the Republican
nomination in 1860, though in the light
of subsequent events it would have been
great mistake. On the first ballot in
the nominating convention he received
173 votes to 102 for Abraham Lincoln,
who, though popular in a way, was much
less widely known at that time than
Seward. The final nomination of Lincoln
was due more to hard political sense and
the inspiration of the hour than to popu-
lar idolatry.
Mr.. Blaine was one of the most idol
lied Of popular idols. His brilliant career
is too recent to need recalling. No other
American statesman ever had greater
personal popularity or more devoted and
enthusiastic supporters, but he failed in
the one great ambition of his life. In his
case. as in others. nominating conven-
tions turned a deaf ear to rne popular
hurrah and adopted a different rule of
action. Perhaps the enthusiastic friends
of Governor Mckinley are doing him a
disservice in claiming that he is popu-

Representative Hit is not what the
admirers of spread-eagle oratory would
call an eloquent speaker, but when he
speaks he has something to say and talks
to the point. His speech on the Cuban

A London cablegram says: ''Ex-Minis-
ter Phelps's remarks on the inapplica-
bility OF the Monroe doctrine to the yen-
ezueian dispute and the guerrilla warfare
are received with more cordialisy here
than President Diaz's message TO the
Mexican Congress on the homogeneity of
interests OF the American continent"
