The Puritanical Sunday.

From early childhood we were per-
picked with doubts about the things
which might or might not be lawfully
done on Sunday, and were hemmed in
by rules of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
handle-not'' order, at variance with
many healthy instincts. quite uncon-
nected with any morality except that
Of implicit obedience, and not COM
manding rational assent.
When Isspeak of a Puritanical Sun
day, am not using the term as one Of
disparagemont, but simply as presenting
Q historical fact. recognize the Puritan
creed as one that has influenced many
powerful and noble minds and has con-
tributed most valuable elements to our
composite English character. Even the
Puritan Sunday, mistaken though I
think it, and Of a strictness too narrow
and exaggerated for ordinary. human
nature to bear, has no excellent side
to 1t. and has been SO closely bound up
with customs and habits Of great social
value with definite times for general
rest and definite times for general wor-
ship that I always think and speak
with great respect Of its supporters I
only blame those Of them--now I think
few in number-who load with epithets
intended to excite odium, other men
who are striving to make the use Of
Sunday more beneficial and more adapt
ed to varieties Of human character and
conditions. Westminster Review.

who left the republican fold yearago to
embrace free coinage. has been relied up
on to lead the antirepublican forces and
against the state ticket, has absolutely
declined to accept the gubernatorial
nomination. His refusalis decisive. He
expresses determination to retire per-
manently from political life. This will
be felt to be discouraging blow to the
ants of all stripes, tor they believed that
he combined more elements OF strength
than any one whom they could name
for the head of their state ticket. Not
only could he come nearer combining all

Earrings.

Earrings have always been among the
most favorite ornaments of nearly all
the nations Of the world, certainly with
those which are called civilized. Indeed
among the Persians, Babylonians and
Carthaginians they were worn by men
as well as women. They were always
worn by Greek women from Hera, in
the "Iliad" down to the Venus de
Medici, whose ears are pierced for the
reception of earrings. Pliny tells us that
there was no part of dress upon which
greater expense was lavished among the
Romans. Many Egyptian earrings of
very beautiful design have been preserv-
ed, and these antique designs have been
initiated in modern times. ALI jewels
are, no doubt, Of barbaric origin, and
earrings among the rest, SO Why discard
them on that ground? We preserve what
we admire, even if it comes to us
through this source. And if piercing the
ears is barbarous what can we say of
shaving, which is done simply for fash
ion, and causes much more uneasiness
to the flesh than simply piercing the
ears once and for all?
Few would venture to advocate the
abolition Of shaving. Why, then, pro-
test against earrings on this ground?
Care should, of course, be exercised that
ears are carefully pierced and allowed
to heal properly before ornamental ear
rings are worn, but when once this is
done they cause no further trouble.
They are now fashionable, and this with
the large majority Of people is enough
to say for them, but some venture to
think, as they are essentially wom-
anly ornament and add grace and
charm to a true womanly face, they
should be preserved. Chicago Times

A TWO EACEDCAT.

Theodore Olson has u curiosity in the
sha pc of a tiny kitten which was born
to a mamma kitten out on the East-side
this week. Tie little feline was one OF a
family of seven kittens, and while all the
others are plain, everyday animals this
one is decided natural curiosity. 1t
has two mouths. One extends III the
direction across its face in. which nature
intended it, and the other IS perpendic-
ular and the two cross at right angles.
1t has two well developed tongues and
ism 'everv way well developed and
healthy little thing. The mother cat
upon looking at her offspring after its
birth is said to have been very much
disappointed and carried it away, leav-
ing itneglected and alone, and refusing
to minister to Its wants IN any wav
whatever. Olson will endeaver to keep
the kitten alive and exhibit it as Curl
osity. He has already refused an offer
OF SO for the animal.-Journal Press.

THE question has been raised as to
whom is due the credit OF penning the
financial plank OF the national republi-
can platform. To set at rest this con-
troyesy it may. be accepted as fact
that the Minnesota delegation is its
father. They were an important factor
IN shaping its phraseology. Undoubtedly
Mr.. Kohlsaat, editor OF the Chicago
limes-News drafted it in the main, anc
Mr.. Merriam, in conformity with a re-
gulariy adopted resolution of his dele
cation, influenced certain changes-re-
vised 1t to it's ultimate exact expression
of the party/s policy.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1896-07-09
PARTY POLICY.

There are scores OF people, fairly well
informed and honest, who assume that
the republ lean party, in its st. Loui
platform. announced radical reversal
OF its policy, and advocates a violent
change IN the financial and monetary con-
ditions of the nation. 1t simply affirmed
existing conditions in the financial policy
OF the government, and declared against
a proposed violent transformation from
the existing gold to silver basis-a
change which would work the beginning
of the greatest panic this country has
ever experienced, and which would con.
tinued until such. time as personal and
national business affairs could adjust
themselves to the lower pIane-until all
existing enterprises and contractsen entered
into upon the existing standard or basis
could be readjusted upon the new. 1t IS
demonstrated fact wherever it has been
attempted-and that in conformity with
1nflexible law-that So called bimetalisn,
carrying withitfrec coinage OF silver, in
evitably results in silver monometalism.
In every transaction OF business life
where the less valuable thing may be
employed to preform required functions
it will be used to the utter exclusion Of
the more valuable. 1t is so with money.
There is not free coinage country on
earth in which birnetalism exists. Gold
is not used as curl ency. in any one OF
thenl-the entire business is transacted
in silver, or perhaps more strictly speak
ing, in paper cur ncy redeemable and
redeemed i'll silver when redemption is
demanded--which seldom occurs from
the fact that the paper remains current
because no Que wants the silver on oc-
count Of it's Inconvenience.
And agaIn-there is not free silver
country anywhere where labor is not
degraded both in respect to wages and
popular estimat ion-not one where the
condition OF the working man is in any
way comparable to that OF his fellow in
like occupation in gold standard
country. Not only are the nominal
wages lower, but the purchasing power
is so much less as to leave no margin
above actual necessities of the meanest
sort of subsistence. Such a class of
laborers are without hope, without am
bition; and robbed of these two inspira-
tons to rise, they are too often degrad-
the workingman OF America would re-
duce himself to the lowest possible level
open to labor, let him embrace the twin
fallacies of free silver and free trade.

 Chauncey DepewNsays that Englishmen cannot understand the hatred of England that prevails in America. It is indeed difficult to understand an imaginary thing, and 1t must be hard for English men to comprehend hatred that does not exist.-Boston Globe.
 The New York Evening Post is very angry with the London Economist be- cause that paper sees no justification for the charge of anarchy in connection with the democratic platform. Evidently Ed flor Godkin is in danger of getting out of touch with dear old England City Times. Dem.

 No matter how mrshy tickets there may be in the field this fall, the wise voter will not fire in the air.

What It Would Mean.
Jacksonville Democrat.

Jacksonville Democrat.
 There is no question about the cleo ton of Captain Johnston. He will be elected by a safe majority beyond all doubt. But the great battle which is now to be waged is for the majority in the general assembly. Here is the dan ger which cenfronts us The democrats had, we believe, only fourteen majority in the last legislature, and<the populists are now hopeful of having majority during the next session. If they hold their own in the other counties and could carry Jefferson and Calhoun they would have a majority.
 What would be the result if the popu- lists could control the next general as- sembly? Alabama for the next six years would be represented in the United States senate by Bowman, Aldrich or Goodwin.
