INTERNATIONAL BINIETALLISM.

The Republican national platform
pledges that.party to do everything pos
sible to obtain international bimetallism,
and Mr.. Hanna, in II recent talk to re-
porter, said the farmers and laborers of
the Western citiessswere won to the sup
port of Mr.. Mckinley by the explanation
that the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent stood on the silver plank of the st
Louis platform and was not gold mono
metallist. Although these honest and
credulous voters were thus beguiled, it is
not at all probable that much of an at
tempt will be made by the Republicans
to bring this about and if it should be
there is little hope of success in that line.
The Republicans, however, in admitting
that two or more nations can, by treaty,
bring silver to par with gold virtually
concede that the views of those who
claim that this Government alone can re-
store the parity of the metals are not
wrong legally or morally. For it follows,
us II matter OF course, that if several ma
tions can restore silver to its proper rela-
uiOuS WIFI Solti, VI III OlncT words make
the white metal money by the stamps of
the respective governments, then il might
Just rs we'll be made II money metal by
one nation alone, especially when that
nation is as great and powerful rs the
United States. The most blinded fol-
lower after party must admit the logic of
this, and see that it brings the argument
exactly where it rested when the last
speech of the late campaign was made.
Hence, in making n provision in the St.
Louis platform for the restoration of in
ternational bmetallism, the Republicans
unwittingly admitted the validity of Mr..
Bryan's reasoning, and in acknowledge
ing that he used this part of the national
platform to win votes for Mckinley, Mr..
Hanna strengthens the claims of the adj
vocates of Independent action by the
United States. In the two cases the prin-
cple is the same, the only difference be-
ing is that Mr.. Bryan and his friends
contend that this nation can do alone
what the Republican platform would ask
several nations to attempt; for in any at.
tempt international bimetallism would
only embrace Il few governments, while
the rest of the world would regulate its
coinage as it has always done. --

has gone down to Georgetown and Ripley,
Ohio, and Mayesville, Kentucky, the
towns in which Grant passed his life I'M
Til he went TO West Point, and by indus
triously talking with every man and
woman there who had any personal
knowledge of Grant, and by delving into
the local records and newspapers, has
gotten together a rare store of illuminate

fectly new material he has written the
paper which is TO appear in the December

THANKSGIVING pERFoRMANCE.

Inc management of the Academy take
pleasure in announcing the appearance
OF "A Nights Frolic' on Thursday, 26th
proX. This being legal holiday and a
benefit rendered the ushers. it is ,o be
hoped their efforts to please will DC liber.
ally patronized. The chief claim made
for the company which will present the
Jolly, rollicking comedy, "a Nights
f1oiic," is its general excellence and it's
showing that Il comedy performance need
not necessarily be horseplay or burlesque.
There are no rivers of real water, no
locomotives. no picannny bands, and no
attempts at realism in ga Nights Frolic"
with which to command attention or win
success, for the piece depends entirely
upon conservative methods and legiti-
mate acting, and in these particulars, it
is said, every member of the Wilson,
mayer comps does commendablc work.
In the matter of scenic display effects
required by the story and appointments,
however, the management have been
quite as consistent as in it's selection of a
cast, and the production will have the
advantage of special settings and every
attention to detail

FEDERAL OFFICES.

Presdent.elect Mckinley is reported to
be seriously considering the matter of
appointing sound money Southern Dom
ocrats to federal Offices. The Republicans
believe the Democratic bolt is permanent.
and the leaders see in this an opportunity
to strengthen the party by drawing into
its ranks the class of men comprised in the
ranks of the late seceders. These mer.
are in most cases men oil property and

they would be a decided acquisition to

augurated. They contend that they have
borne the brunt of the battle and upheld
the banner of their party at time when
it required nerve to be n Republican, and
that it is no more than just that they
should be recompensed for their trials
and sufferings. They will therefore most
probably make determined opposition
to distributing the "loaves and the fishes"
of the federal government to men who
have no claims upon the Republicans,
beyond the fact that they upheld "sound
money" and would not support Mr..
Bryan. In some eases these men voted
directly for Mckinley, in others for Pal
mer and Buckner, and in others they did
not vote at all. 10 reward men for SER
vices of such doubtful value at the ex-
pcnse of the sold guard" would, they
think, be doing them Il great injustice
and, should the Major drop the gold
Democrats too many plums, there will be
the biggest kind Of Il howl all through
the ranks Of his party in the South. He
and Mr.. Hanna will be placed in a consid-
cradle dilemma in this matter; but the
general idea is that there will be some
recognition of the sound money Demo-
Gratis by the next administration, in order
that the morale of the Republican party
in the South may be strengthened. The
Presdent.elec and his friend, Mr.. Han
ma, know, unless this is done, that they
can never hope for any assistance from
Republicanism in the South except in the
nomination of candidates for President
and President, and rs they are anx-
ious to ''break the solid South" no doubt
they will take all the advantage they can
of the present condition of political
affairs here.

Bryan and Butler are the names sug-

silver ticket in 1900 1t is very early to
begin specializing in this matter, as there
is no knowing what will happen politi.
cally i'll the next four years, but the com.
bination will certainly not be lacking in
ability. Some of Senator Buffers Wash
lngton critics affect to see in his recent
moves on the political chessboard IA play
in the above direction. He has already
proven himself, they say, too large for
the narrow limits of Il single State, and
as he is shrewd enough to know that the
time has not yet arrived for electing a
Southern man President, he is quietly
playing his cards for the Vice -Presiden-
tial nomination in 1900. Before that
time arrives, however, we NAV have a
war with Spain and annex Cuba; or there
may be great rush TO the Alaskan gold
fields and great return of prosperity to
this country. Either, or both, of these
events might put the financial question
in allegiance for "a while, or, in the pros
perity connected with them, might re-
store the parity of the metals In fact,
there is no knowing what might happen
