sided on this diet for generations, are
strong. In other European countries
the peasantry are still more evidently
vegetarian for all practical purposes.
Even in Russia, according to Prince
Karapotl<in, the peasant gets only corn,
and not enough of that sometimes. Yet
the Russian peasant Is not wanting in
vigor. The evidence is the same II we
glance at non-European races.
The hardy Arab or Soudanese Is sat

wretch" The Jats of Rajpootana are
described as "a very intelligent, fine
race, while both men and women at
classes do not eat meat" These in
stances, which might be multiplied, are
quoted to show that vegetarianism. is
the ordinary practice of numerous
races which are not among the lowest
and which show no sign Of race de-
terioration. In face Of these facts the
mere random assertion sometimes made
that veget lrians are subject to poor

IL is worth. Errors, both of diet and
hygiene, may be committed by vegeta-

MONTANA'S MEMBER.

Two days ago reporter for the
Washington Post had chat with Mr.
Hartman, of Montana. and the talk
ran this way:
"Wm you, as a republican, vote for a
democratic free coinage candidate next
fall?" Mr.. Hartman was asked.
No" was the reply, for the simple
reason that l will not have the onportu-
nifty"
Then you do not think that the Gemc-
Gratis will declare for free coinaga?"
II do not. They may think that they
will, but they will weaken just as soon as
the eastern money influences get 10 work
among them"
Go slow. Mr.. Hartman. go slow. We
do not affirm that you will be support
ing a democrat next Autumn, yet
IL seems TO us that the chances are
even at this hour that you will do 1t.
Every day the testimony is piling up
to the effect that the republicans al
st. Louis will commit themselves out
and out to the single gold standard;
that is the demand of the republican
press and the republican bosses in the
states on which the republican party
counts for its essential backing. with
one accord the party press argues for
the emphatic denunciation of silver
and the array of resolutions adopted
at a series Of recent state conventions
prompts the republican newspapers &c

standard is hopeful

Who always neat calico aprons and

EXCEPT on the Sabbath day wore.
And who in my care-laden hours,
With a sunbonnet perched on her head.
Ran in bringing bowls of nice jelly or

Or loaves of her freshly-baked bread;
And then, without asking me whether

To do in the kindest and quickest way.
Whatever she saw was to do.
Nowadays though a friend may assure
me
That over my burdens she grieves
She really can't aid me for fear of mis-

To her laces or very big sleeves.
And as for the clubs women govern
Why, they are but schools for the arts.
Where minds are improved in an elegant
way
But no time is devoted to hearts.
Or else they are pledged to the seeking
OF those whom most people condemn
AS lost beyond hope-so it's plain to be

There's no cnance of assistance from

the fact that there was a good attend

scribers to the fund.
As Is recited in the local columns
this morning. the first steps toward a

selection OF five men who will act as
trustees. These gentlemen will hasten
to comply with the provisions of law
that are incident TO the formation Of
a corporation; they will hold office
until the first annual meeting is held

tion adopted last night, that the place

the good old name for places OF the

ern and a cheap application. II has
come to pass that people have opera
houses at every crossroads. The word
''theater'' is more true to art, more
closely descriptive and more dignifed.

THEY KICK ALREADY

Yesterday morning the Standard
printed the testimony of important
newspapers in New York city to the
effect that free coinage will make a
surprisingly strong showing in u the
Chicago convention. Evidence to the
same effect has been accommodating
in Washington. At western centers
also 1t is admitted that silver delega-
lions may be strong enough TO control
Sure enough. the klckers are an
bouncing their intention. The Brook
lyn Eagle breaks out in this nervous
style: Honest money democrats will
bolt from a dishonest money platform
and from dishonest money nominees.
They will issue a platform and name a
ticket Of their own. They viii not be
driven out of democracy. Democracy
will not be driven out of them. They
will not become or be made republi-
cans They will vote for their princi-
pies and for their candidates, II they
cast only a thousand votes in the whole
land. They will not accept or submit

lief is that Mr.. Hartman will stump
Montana for the ticket named at Chi
cago. or, If st. Louis puts a goldbug
on a goldbug platform, and a split at
Chicago puts in the field a free-coinage
man on a free-codnage platform, our
idea is that the free-coinage corner In
the campaign will be able to count on
Congressman Hartman.
In this we may be wrong; the Stand
ard does not pretend to speak for Mr..
Hartman. We are simply making a
guess, but we feel very sure that this
guess is a good one.
