Manley in this emphatic fashion: Mr..
Reed IL still in the race. and very large
ly at that, and what's more, he cannot
be side-tr cked to the vlce-presidency.
Probably this is official.
There have hean statesmen who entered
the race for the nomination for Presi-
dent without any unconquerable preju-
dice against the second place on the tick
ct, if the first place should be reserved by
destiny for somebody else. There have
been candidates who have deliberately
aimed at the higher office in order to
hit the lower. The vice-p presidency is a
post of honor and dignity, we'll worthy
of the ambition of any citizen who has
the inclination to serve his country in
that way but the fact remains that it is
not first prize for politicians of the
first class.
There is about as much chance of Tom
Reeds spending the next four years in
the chair now ocupied by the Hon Adlai
X. Stevenson as there is of his accepting
an appointment TO be a ssistant keeper of
the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse. But how
does the idea Of vice presidential nomi-
nation for himself strike Major McKin-
ley? Morton and Mckinley would be an
alliterative ard nest musical ticket.
Reed and Mckinley would look as we'll
on banners, ard sound quite Rs well in
campaign songs az Mckinley and Reed.
Shakespeare and Napoleon would make
a strong combination.

One effect of the Raines
bill is to abolish the free
lunch, a change which the friends of
temperance believe will be very impor-
tant reform and make much for sobriety.
The free lunch has been really a Edeyice
on the part of the saloon keeper for toll
ling in workingmen and creating a thirst
to be assuaged later by heavy draughts of
ale or hard liquors which were not free.
The lunch has been of the cheapest de-
soriptioH, but it has admirably served
its purpose. The law also requires that
eAsse sAall be free and unobstructed
view of the interior of all saloons during
prohibited hours, and absolutely forbids
the sale of liquors In any saloon, restau-
rant or club between the hours of D. m.
Saturday and a. m. Monday. With The
aw stringently and honestly enforced as
1T is likely to be by Col. H. H. Lyman,
who has been appointed excise commits
sioner, good many Of the existing evils
of the liquor traffic in the Empire State
ought to be abated.

THE NEW HAMPSHIRE CURRENCY
DELIVERANCE.

The platform of the New Hampshire
republicans favors the enactment of
currency laws that will provide oircu-
lating medium in gold, silver and paper,
which will always be interchangeable Mt
its face value, because sach and every
dollar Of it is of the same purchasing
power as a gold dollar" A platform is
supposed to be the expression of what the
party that adopts it intends to do if en-
trusted with power. The intention of the
New Hampshire Republicans, therefore,
if they can have their way is to enaot
currency laws that will provide "a circu-
latlug medium in gold, silver and paper,
which will always be interchangeable at
its face value The resolution might
better have stopped there because the ro-
mainder OF it" because each and every
dollar of it is of the same purchasing
power as a gold dollar" ,"-is simply a
Statement of the condition and the only
dollars can be Interchangeable. Had the
convention declared in favor OF a tariff
policy that will bring prosperity, without
specifying whether it was TO be protec-
tive tariff or q revenue-only tariff it
would have expressed itself just as
definitely on the tariff question as it has
done on the currency question. All parties
profess to be IN favor of laws that will
make each dollar as good as every other
dollar, just as all parties profess to be in
favor of tariff that will bring prosper
ity. The difference of opinion among
them is as to the kind of laws needed to
produce the result both profess to be
aiming at, and on this point, which is
really the only point in dispute, tue New
Hampshire platform is as silent as the
grave. A currency law that admits silver
to an equality with gold the silver men
say is the one to produce an equality of
the purchasing power of the metals. A
restricted silver coinage is the policy that
must prevail if the parity of the metals
is to continue, Is the attitude of the gold
men. Which policy do the New
Hampshire Republicans favor? Appar-
emily they do not know, at any rate they
have not taken ground in favor of the
one or the other in the platform. In fact
they have begged the whole ques-
ton. They have attempted ap-
parently to oonooot compromise be-
tween free coinage with it's inevitable
consequence of putting the country on a
silver basis, and the gold standard, and
have produced simply a meaningless jum-

The effort of the Dominion government
to come to an understanding with Mani
to ba on the school question seems likely
to have little result, unless the Dominion
government is willing to withdraw the
remedial bill now before Parliament and
trust entirely to the generosity of the
province to give the Catholics substan-
TALLY what they want. Indeed the Mani
toba commissioners have virtually made
10 their ultimatum that the.remedial bill
be withdrawn, and will do nothing or
promise nothing until that is done. If
this bill be withdrawn it is probable that
the Manitoba Protestants will make some
concession to the Catholics, though they
will not go to the extent of creating a
dual school system.

In 1885 and again in 1892,

uncertain manner asserted
his opposition to the free
coinage of silver. Notwith-
standing his position on the
financial question, the de-
mocracy of the United States
elected him twice to the high
est Office IL the gift of the
people. But many who vo-
ted for the democratic cleo
tors are now the presidents
most virulent accusers, which
is a reminder of an incident
that occurred more than
1900 years ago. The Savior
selected twelve disciples and
they were all loyal for a time,
but at last the question of
silver was injected and re-
suited in the betrayal of the
Savior. IF thirty pieces of
silver caused the betrayal of
the Savior, it is impossible to
fOretell the evil effects subse-
quent to free coinage.
