Among the latest amusements INDUCED
in by fashionable girls at dove afternoon
teas is that of fencing. On these occa-
sions no prying men are admitted, chiefly
for the reason that not all the girls who
exhibit are experts, and, of course, they
do not wish to have their mistakes OBJ
served by rude male eyes.
As a general rule the regulation fencing
suit is worn, especially If the occasion be
a club affair. This consists of an ac-
Gordon pleated black silk skirt, which
descends half way between the knees and
the ground. With this is worn a black
velvet bodice made loosely to render the
necessary perfect freedom of the boz
and arms.
Low cut ennis shoes finish the cos
tune. At a recent club tea one strik-
ingly handsome girl wore a dark blue
skirt. with waist of white duck but
toned diagonaliy down the front from
shoulder to waist.

clared in his speeches that he desires to
demonetIze gold. and that he can help
do IL by aiding in the enactment OF the
free coinage OF silver. In Mexico, which
coins both metals. or. rather. which
would coin both metals on about the
same ratio as prevails here. while pro-
ducing both metals, coins and circulates
nothing but silver. The result is that ii
takes two silver dollars, in which wages
are paid. to purchase as much merchan-
disc as one dollar In gold. The free
coinage OF silver has resulted in silver
recommendation in Mexico. and 1t would
do the same here. Consequently. those
who advocate free coinage do not advo-
cate the bimetallism Of the Republican
platform, but silver recommendation.
which would result in clipping the dollar
in which labor is paid by reducing its
purchasing power. and would promote
no interest but that Of the silver mine
owners in this country, Mexico and
South America.

THE REPUBLICAN EDITORS.

The meeting of the Republican Edi-
torial Association yesterday was re-
markably we'll attended, considering that
there was no special object to bring the
members together. On the issues of the
campaign entire harmony was shown in
every utterance as expressed in the reso-
lutions; and it is not the harmony of
mere acquiescence but of positive and
enthusiastic belief. On the tariff the
representatives of the Republican edi-
tors OK Indiana are as one man. On the
money question the association has the
courage of absolute conviction. Con
sent" was the unanimous response Of
the forty representative editors who
were present to the motion to adopt the
resolution declaring against the free and
unlimited coinage of silver by the United
States alone and in favor Of the larger
use of silver by international action.
This positive unanimity is in marked
contrast to the confusion and conten-
ton which prevails among the Demo-
cratic editors on the silver question. The
local topic which caused most discus
sion was the reported hostility of class
of townships and those who profit by
trading with them against the act of the
last Legislature requiring the publica-
ton of the expenditures of trustees.
While it was generally admitted that the
act Is somewhat imperfect. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that, in the interest
of responsible and honest government. a
law must be insisted upon which will
enable taxpayers to know by published
reports how much and for what purposes
their money is expended.
There was some difference of opinion
relative to the questions growing out of
the apportionment decision of the SUI
preme Court. but all voted for the reso-
luton upon that topic when it was un-
derstood that it involved no Endorsement
of any plan to attack the gerrymander
of 1885, concerning the wisdom of which
sentiment was divided.
The reports which the members of the
association bring from different parts of
the State are of the most cheering char
acter. Never was so much interest dis
played by voters in the selection of presi-
Dental and other candidates, and never
has the confidence of the masses in Re-
publican principles been so manifest.

Spain denies that there is any war in
Cuba. How. then. can there be any obliga-
ton on the part of our government to in
terfere with perfect freedom of intercourse
between our citizens and anybody IN tnat
island New York World.
1t is time the war was ended, and appar-
emily there is no other way of securing this
result than for the United States to take a
hand in it, The sooner it is done the bet
ter for all concerned. The Cubans have
earned their freedom. Let them have it.
Chicago Tribune.
The patriots of Cuba are clearly entitled
to recognition belligerents. and the
United States may be compelled to intervene
in the interests of humanity Justice should
be done to the Cubans now struggling for
independence, withOtt~ regard to the threats
of Spain.-Chicago Inter Ocean
The resolutions will meet the enthusiastic
approval of the American public. and it,.
incidentlly, they convince the Spanish gov
eminent that we are not Indifferent to the
aspirations of Cuba and do not regard this
protracted war as of no Importance to our
own national interests so much the better
Chicago Times-Herald.
1t is time for action. The United States
should know all about the war. Let US not
gaze supinely on the slaughter until other
nations across the broad ocean feel 1t to be
their duty to step in and perform the hu-
manitarian office that is ours. This coun-
try needs no ground for interference more
relative than Weyler's proclamation.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
The recognition of the belligerency of the
Cuban revoiudenists is within our right.
The question is one for us to decide with
out consulting Spain. Recognition could not
be regarded by Spain as an act of hostility,
calling for war, any more than We regarded
Scain's recognition of the Southern COnfed-
eracy, soon after it's origin, as an act Of
hostility calling for war.-New York Sun.
If war should come, so be it. We should,
nevertheless, go on undismayed and conf
dent, certain that the ultimate outcome
will be the better for Cuba, for the world
and for ourselves AS for Spain, the long
centuries of her oppression and misrule in
the island now almost lost to her has dulled
the edge of sympathy. and her injury will
not be regretted by the world.-Cincinnati
Tribune.
If the noble task of freeing Cuba is to be
brought about by the aitioh of this Nation
it must be in the regular way and in accord
with the tenets of international law. If the
government is to recognize Cubas bel
ligerency and proceed to place the new
state upon a basis of equality with Spain, it
must preserve it's neutrality until some in
reference of Spain gives the proper occa-
sion to act moro freely.-Chicago Record.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Senator Carter, in his speech trying to
justify his action in defeating the Re-
publican revenue bill, charged that the
Republican Senator'S who voted against
the various propositions for the free COIN
age of silver violated the Republican
platform of 1892. the latest national par
ty expression upon that subject. That
the readers of the Journal may judge for
themselves. the plank of the Republican
national platform of 1892 is printed in
full:
interest, favor bimetallism. and the Re-
publican party demands the use of both
gold and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under such provisions,
TO be determined by legislation, as will Sc
cure the maintenance of the parity of values
OF the two metals, so that the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver. gold or paper, shall be
at all times equal. The interests OF the pro-
ducers Of the country, its farmers and its
workngmen. demand that every dollar.
paper or coin. issued by the government
shall be as good as any other. We COM
mend the wise and patriotic steps already
taken by our government to secure an in
ternatonal conference 10 adopt such meas
ures as will insure parity of value between
gold and silver for use as money throughout
the world.
No intelligent and fair-minded person
will say that there is any sentence or
clause in the foregoing which can be
construed to be an Endorsement of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the present ratio. Bimetallisn is the use
of the two money metals so that they
will circulate together and perform every
function OF money. Any system of COIN
age which would cause one metal to
cease to- circulate as money is mono
metallism. There is no hint of free COIN
age. but a coinage under such restric-
tons as will secure the maintenance of
the parity of value of the two metals. SO
that the purchasing and debt-paying
power of the dollar. whether silver. gold
or paper shall be at all times equal"
Did the people of the silver producing
States regard the above platform as a
pledge in favor OF the free and unlimited
coinage of silver? If so. why did Col
orado. Nevada and Idaho give their
electoral votes in November, 1892. to the
Populist candidates?
The fair minded men who advocate the
| free coinage of silver admit that. should
| IL be adopted, no more gold would be
coined In our minis and gold would COM
uand a premium and cease to be a part
| of the money of the country. Out in
