MUST VOTE PROHIBITION.

Strange, hysterical and ominous is
the appeal of u New Yorker in a New
York paper for a new party"
He says in substance in the way of
complaint that he has no party with
which TO vote. He is for a single gold
standard, for a single gold standard
alone with no thought of silver, no
care for silver and no promise TO take
care of silver.
He wants to know how he is expected
TO exercise his right of suffrage. He
cannot vote for the nominee Of the Chi
cago Democratic convention, who will
stand on a free silver plank, sixteen TO
one, and probably be silver man him
self. He cannot vote for the Populist
nominees for they are for free silver
with fiat longingS and intentions. He
cannot vote for the Republican can
didate for president because the Re
publican platform is to be in favor of
a double standard, for bimetallism.
In short no great national party of
ferS him an. opportunity to cast his
vote and give value to his opinions.
Now he proposes that the gold stan
dard men organize q new party, a new
party that is not rotten, corrupt and
cowardly as the old parties are, party
taht viii stand up for the gold stan
dard and the right of every man TO earn
the best dollar on earth-a gold dollar.
We, in the west, have heard that cry
somewhere before. 1t was from the
PopuliSts, who talked it so much that
they at last organized a party, which
has since done nothing good or merit
oriOus either nationally or in state af-
fairs.
There IS no need of 4 new party.
either for the gold standard men or the
PopulistS.
There is chance for the gold stan
d2rd men of New York. Their vote
can so 10 the Prohibition party, which
has refused 10 utter one word favorable
to silver, for which refusal John =. ST.
John and Helen Cougar pulled out
This is the ticket they should vote.
The national Prohibition party seeks
to exercise over mems stomachs the
same sharp. dictatorial rule that gold
bugs seek TO exercise over mems pocket
books. Their inspiration is much the
same. And it is with the Prohibition
lists that the goldbugS should vote.

BURTON ON BOOMS.

| When J. r. Burton ascribed much of
our present woe TO series of extrava-
CANT mutations in corporate, public and
civic existence, in his speech yester-
day, he struck a responsive chord in the
minds of hundreds in his audience.
Underlying all our political issues
there are things that know no politics,
| no factions and no time, which are
tremendous potencies in the lives of all
| peoples. An impost on peacocks' ton
CUES or the amount of copper in the
mintage of a denariuS did not add one
straw TO the weight which crushed
Rome. Extravaganza and licentiOus-
ness on which no political campaign
could be successfully waged because
there is but one side composed of those
who were against IL and those who
were hypocriteS, a continued series of
days, decades and cycles OF feStivity
and dissipation and individual and ma
tional degradation, brought Rome low,
while the people Quarreled over the
differing and emulating personalities
of this man or that The guillotine in
France slid up and down its groove not
because of the imposition of some gov
ernmental policy or the absence of some
enactment but because of an extrava-
gance which at last tapered to the sole
uses of a monopolistic and merciless
aristOcracy.
Alr. Burton yesterday gave individ-
ual economy its full measure of justice
and did not shrink from scourging per-
sonal extravaganza.
Orators should talk more OF this TO
the people. II Mr.. Burton's mind
found this 10 be a real trouble il was
his duty TO speak 1t 1t is commonly
held among politicians that a public
speaker should cling TO his temporary
issues and split the ears OF the ground

GOSSIP AND SCANDAL.

Public gossip is n public pest and
! often death. No man or woman is
safe in a community given to gossip,
and none, however great can rise super
! iOr 10 its blasting work. Public gossip
and private SANDER generally find their
inspiration in jealousy, or personal
maigniJy born of interest and design.
But often they spring from a be
trayal of professional confidence, from
the lawyer or the physician A few
weeks ago there was a noted trial in
England involving the question OF pro-
fesSional confidence. a physician was
charged with having betrayed profess
sionaI secrets concerning one of his
patients. An action for damages was
sustained, and the jury awarded the
plaintiff several thousand pounds.
a case of the kind lately tranSpfred
in a New York community which the
supreme court as settled. A physician
was charged with having impaired to
his wife professional secret which in
time became whispered about the vii
lage in which he lived. The secret re-
heeted upon the honor Of a patient who
had died. An autopsy proved that the
PHYSICIANS story was untrue. The iury
awarded the plaintiff in the action.
who was the mother Of the young lady
whose reputation was assaiIed. 5000
damages.
1hese TWO cases, coming 50 near To-
gether. emphasize anew the importance
Of professional confidence. A nbvsi-
clan occupies 4 peculiar relation 10 his
patient. The success of his profes-
sional work depends upon the mafnren-
ance Of absolute confidence between
him and his patient. That confidence
should be Sacredly regarded. The law
recognizes this fact. = physician can
not be compelled TO testify in court as
70 matters obtained through profes-
Sional confidence. The relations of
life are SUCH that men are more or less
dependent upon the. confidence Of each
other Al ali times. 1t would be better
Tor society il more was treated as con

pest Many words spoken in jest re-
turn 10 plague the one who uttered
them. As 4 rule there i little ground
for complaint against physicians. Their
professional training makes them Sc
crerive. Il would be well for many
other people 10 follow their example. !

AN uNcALLED FOR SLAP.

Maine in her Republican convention,
Tuesday, very rightly and appropriate
" resolved in favor Of the 'unSwerv-
ing loyalty of that great champion of
protection. Thos. B. Reed" expressing
the hope that the national convention
would view the matter of the declara-
ton in the same light. But something
else occurred in that Maine convention
which was beneath par. The chair
man Of the convention, in his speech
eulogizing Mr.. Reed, declared that ''he
is not q man whose lips are sealed in
silence when silence is dishonor, nor
opened them to words that were meant
TO have no meaning" This ungra-
cious, untruthful and outrageous slap
was intended for Mckinley. The facts
are that only since all chances of NOM
inatiOn were lost to Mr.. Reed, the
speaker has been ELUSIVE OF express
sion. But how about all the months
of the fall and winter? Who, outside
of the oyster-beds of his native state
has been more dumb than Mr.. Reed.
The last thing that we remember Of
him saying was something to the effect
that the present session of congress
must be one Of little or no action. The
truth is the brainy and mastery car,
of the past, has riyalled the sphinx of
the Nile this winter, for silence. When
implored TO accept the second place on
the national ticket with Mckinley he
has not answered in direct words but
with a shake of the head of some in
direct remark. Mr.. Reed has been a
trimmer for all these months where he
should have been a radical leader and
dominant ruler. He did not defend or
maintain anything, and only came out
On the goldbug side when he saw that
the bimetallists were all going over to

Hurrah for Bill Mckinley, the fearless
and the true,
Whose consistency has never been eaualed
but by few;
Politicians are against HIM but We heed
not what they say;
The people are for Mckinley, and the
people will have Their way.
In vain against Mckinley the politicians
fight;
The people are acquiring intelligence ana
light,
their minds astray.
The people are for Mckinley. and the
people Will have their way.
In scorn and reprobation free traders used
Till farmers and mechanics his enemies
became;
But free trade brought low prices and low
wages day by day,
So the people are for Mckinley, and the
people will have their way.
Let bigots, knaves and bankers against
Mckinley fight;
Their triple opposition will teach US to
unite
In defense of one more great than i'm
mortal Henry Clay;
For the people are for Mckinley, and the
people Will have their way.
The apostle of protection for protectors
sake, stands firm,
Though goldbugs and free traders In Sat-
anic fury squirm.
He will be nominated and elected, too.

We're longing for Mckinley as the corn

Of prejudicing its metropolitan patrons
