The "wORLD's'' QUESTIONS.

The New York "World" received tel
egram from Mr.. Bryan the day he was
nominated pointing out how it could
help him in standing for 'the gold and
silver coinage Of the Constitution" In
response the "World" asked Mr.. Bryan
several questions, not one of which he
has answered directly or in any Of his
speeches. Some of these questions are:
When in the history Of the nation did
silver occupy it's ancient place by the
side Of gold? Has there ever been a
time when the two metals circulated
upon equal terms? What Is meant by
the restoration Of parity between
money and property? a term used fire.
quently by Mr.. Bryan.
Will the workingmen and farmers be
made more prosperous by having to pay
more for the necessaries of life while
wages and sale prices remain station
ary? What is gold and silver coinage Of
the Constitution as referred to by you
in your dispatch to US, and where In the
Constitution is there prescribed any
coinage whatever?
Will not free and unlimited coinage at
IL to 1 reduce the value of the dollar
unit about half? If SO will not that be
repudiation Of our debts, public and pri-
vate? Is there not danger that 1t will
cause a return to US from abroad of all
American securities, thus precipitating
a calamitous panic? Will not the sue
cess of the nominees on the Chicago
platform result in the calling in prior to
March 4th next of all collectable debts
and loans and mortgages that are due?
Will free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer drive out the five or six hundred
millions Of dollars in gold and gold GER
tificates which are now serving as re-
serves or as money? If SO will it not
cause dangerous contraction Of the cur
rency?
Will not unlimited free coinage Of sill
yer at 16 to put us upon an Indian and
Mexican level, and do you wish the
country to go down to that level?
Finally, is there any country on the
face Of the globe now on the silver basis
that is as prosperous as the United
States, even in this time Of depression?
Is there any in which wages are so high
or in which the wages dollars will buy
as much? Is there any silver country
that has as large a commerce, as pros
porous manufactures, or as we'll to do
agricultural classes? Is it, or Is it not,
true that in every silver basis country
hopeless poverty rules among the
masses?

tion means English and Organism,
wrangle over the plunder, prosti-
tuition of public good for party
greed, and the consequent injury of
State and National interests. On the
other hand the election of Hilborn,
Johnson, Bowers, Barham, McLachlan,
Loud and O'Brien means McKinleyism,
protection to American production 1no
industry, re-establishment Of the Amer
lean merchant marine, and American
ism in it's broadest and best sense.
Recurring again to Mr.. Hilborn's cam
djdacy, since his district is in business
and otherwise closely identified with
that of our own, it is to be remembered
that his election will be reelection. His
experience in Congress will render his
future services to his district and the
State and Nation more effective. His
return to Congress means that he will
occupy a larger and more prominent
place in the lower house, and Will COM
mand earlier and better hearing and
fuller recognition, and hence he will be
by far a more useful representative, and
should for that reason, If for no other,
be elected in November.
Let the voters in Mr.. EIilborn's dis
trict, where this journal has wide CIR
culation, take these words we'll to heart.
The appeal is to their reason, their pa
triotism and sound business judgment.
That which cannot be based on reason
is, indeed, a weak cause.
There is sound strong, patriotic rea-
son for all that we have advanced. 1t
is the reason which fortifies the agri-
culturist in his sincere belief that his
products, brought into ruinous compe-
tition with those of foreign cheap pro-
duction, deserve wise and discriminate
ing protection; it is the reason that ap-
peals to the wage-earner, whose income
is measured by his ability, to make his
tanning due self-respect comport with
demands of this civilization, and who is,
therefore, dependent upon protection
by the Government against the skilled
and unskilled labor that produces for
half and a third the wage he ought to
receive. 1t is the reason that addresses
the business man whose entire success is
dependent upon the conditions under
which the tiller produces and the
worker earns

ROY'S PIERCING EYESIGHT.
Says lie Was Not Present, But Saw the
Money Taken.
The Little Firebug Will Probably be
Sent to the Reform School
This Time.

A juvenile company held the boards
In the Police Court yesterday morning.
The monotony Of the common drunk, the
vag and the sneak thief was broken by
the trial Of Roy Gould and Kistie Rossi,
who were charged with holding up and
robbing Master Frank Zanazi, child Of
eight years, of fifty cents.
1t was an infantile affair, with the
exception that the Judge, policemen and
attorneys were somewhat overgrown.
Gould and Rossi, who are both under
eight years of age, were arraigned and
stood up and pleaded not guilty like lit
tie men. They announced, too, that
they were ready for trial. but the ques-
ton as to whether they waived a jury
stumped them. However they con-
suited their indulgent mothers and were
willing to take their chances with the
Judge.
The little prosecuting witness. Frank
Zanazi, promptly held up his hand,
took an oath to tell the truth, and eag-
erly told the story in his child way OF
how the two boys had intercepted him
OH his way to Weinstock, Lubin & Co.'S
store and took fifty cents from him
which he was carrying for his mother.
Roy Gould, the younger of the two boys,
was the chief actor, and it was he who
ran away with the coin.
Frank Stewart, a colored lad Of nine
years, witnessed the robbery. He ex-
OEerated RoSsi, saying he took no part
further than to attempt to frighten the
Zanazi boy. Young Gould attempted to
persuade him to give up the money,
saying he would show him a trick. He
could put the money in his nose and
find it in his back pocket. But this ruse
failing to work, Gould forcibly took the
money from Frank Zanazis hand and
ran off.
Kistie Rossi in his own behalf testi-
fled that he had nothing to do with the
robbery, and did not know what Gould
intended to do until he secured the coin
and ran away.
Roy Gould was a little shy about be-
ing sworn and would not look Justice
Davis squarely in the face as the other
boys had done. When asked what he
had to say by Attorney Brown he as
tonished the court and all present by
declaring that he was at the races on
the day of the robbery and that it could
not have been he who robbed little
Frank
"But who did rob Frank?" inquired
Mr.. Brown.
Frank Stewart" was the prompt re-
ply
This so amused the colored lad that
he could not restrain a guffaw.
How do you know that?" inquired
the attorney.
"'Cause saw him take the money"
How could you see Stewart take the
money" asked Mr.. Brown. when you
were at the races?"
This somewhat staggered the little
fellow, but he doggedly held to his alibi.
Justice Davis discharged young Rossi,
but found Gould guilty and he will re-
ceive sentence to-day. Gould is the
youngster who fired two barns SOME

THE ADDRESS OF REASON.

Mr.. Hilborn has received the Repub-
lican nomination in his district for
Congress after a close and legitimate
struggle. 1t follows now that Mr.. Hill
born should be elected. When there is
contention between rival candidates for
party honors ii Is legitimate to stand for
those Of choice. But the contest over
there is but one duty, and it is a.
bounden one, for all men Of the party
who honor the principles for which they
stand, to do their utmost to secure the
election of the choice of the majority.
Men who are sent up to the National
Legislature represent the principles for
which their party is champion. 1t is
useless to contend for the election OF a
Republican President and refuse him
the fortification the legislative branch
of the Government can give him. 1t is
incumbent, therefore. upon all Republi-
cans and all other citizens who believe
that protection, prosperity and the con-
servation of the best interests Of all the
PEOPLE lie within the principles and doc
trines for which the party contends. to
support not only by vote. but by voice
and missionary effort, the representa-
tives standing upon those essentials.
California is confronted at this mo-
ment with strange and unnatural con-
dition. Against the Republican party
is combined all the forces of all opposi-
ton. The spoil Of office, the greedy
desire for place, have led three of the
parties in the field to subordinate the
principles which they have pretended
to champion to this unholy lust for
Office and political triumph. Bold. bald
and unblushing barter and trade have
been made between these organize
tions, and a division of the spoils in ad-
vance have been agreed upon, that the
nominee Of the Republican party may
be downed.
The election Of this unholy combina-

THE DAY.

The State to-day celebrates its ad-
mission into the Union of States, and a
general holiday is declared in honor of
the date by the laws of the Common
wealth. The formal celebration has
fallen of late almost wholly into the
hands Of the Native Sons of the Golden
West, though the several Pioneer So
cieties adhere to their custom Of OBJ
serving the day in a joyful manner with
reunions, banQuets and literary exer-
cises.
Such observances are to be commend
ed. They tend to cultivate the spirit
OF loyalty to American institutions, and
matter Of congratulation that the
young men Of the time have taken so
much interest in commemorating these
natal day events. On such occasions
their thoughts must be turned to con-
temptation of what the republic means
to them and all the people, and the ne
cessity Of stimulating admiration for
free government, and Of fixing purpose
to prove true to 1t.
These celebrations tend to stiffen faith
in American institutions, and to place
the complaints and fears of calamity
prophets before the people in their true
light, which divests them of their gloom
and their hollowness.
No matter what these forecasters Of
evil may predict, the love Of country is
strong among the people and their conf
dence in its perpetuity, and in the belief
that it has not fulfilled it's destiny is
unshaken; nay, 1t strengthens the be-
lief that it has not more than just be-
gun to answer to the great purposes for
which it was founded.
The day affords opportunity Of es-
pecial advantages to impress upon the
mind of youths the patriotic truths that
should be craven there, and to instruct
them anew in knowledge Of their obli-
cations to the Nation. their duties to the
State and the community and each
other. and to inform them as to what
they have right to expect in return for
loyalty to the laws Of the land and the
precepts Of the fathers Of the republic

FLORIN SILVER CLUB.
Its President Has Not Resigned
TherefrOm.

A paragraph appeared in the Rec
rdUnion" yesterday to the effect that
the President of the Florin Silver Club
had resigned, and that other members
were leaving the club and abandoning
their silver sentiments.
L. NJ. Landsborough states, however,
that the story is false and that the
"Record-Union's informant had either
Intentionally or otherwise imposed upon
it. Mr.. Landsborough declares there
has been no detection in the club. and
that President Davis has not left it.
AS Mr.. Landsborough knows the
facts and is thoroughly reliable, 1t must
be assumed that the Record Union's''
informant was in error.
