The Austrian empire, once the holy
Roman empire, has lost her place in
the front rank OF nations because of
her decaying aristocracy, which yields
only towards and weaklings for the
captains of her host, and because OF
her narrowing conservatism which
kept alive the spirit of persecution, and
which hindered any real progress. But

YOU WILL FORGET.

You will forget-a few swift hours,
Fortune and fame and all to WOO,
And ere the bloom forsake the flowers
The lips you kiss have kissed for you
And ere the morrow's sun is set,
You will forget.
You will forget--a mile or so,
And out of sight Is out Of mind;
The easy tears soon come to flow.
When life's before and loves behind,
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet,
You will forget.
You will forget-in other years
When you behold that white star shine
We see so dimly through the tears;
When you shall pass these doors Of mine,
Or that dear spot where first we met,
You will forget
You will forget-let me love on,
You have been all in all to me;
So when the past Is dead and gone,
Like some fine golden phantasy.

DIDN'T KNOW FORAKER.
From the Cleveland World.

From the Cleveland World.
Senator Foraker was met at the st.
Louis station by an ambitious reporter this
morning The senator stood outside the
coach. Whose car is this?" asked the
young man. Mr.. Foraker's," was the
reply. "Are you Mr.. Foraker?" yes"
MIR. Foraker, when did you leave Chi
cago" II didn't leave Chicago, l came
here from Cincinnati" "Will you give fne
the names of those with you?" "Oh, yes,
there are myself and wife and son, and
Charles Emory Smith and Murat Hal
stead" "Who is Mr.. Smith; is he noted
politician "Oh, yes. he has been quite
a politician. He has been minister to
Russia and is owner OF the Philadelphia
Press" "And who is Mr.. Murat Hal
stead?" asked the young man, blandly
and innocently. The Ohio senator could
stand the situation no longer He looked
straight at the young man and said with
out a quiver of muscle, 'Mr. Halstead Is
a blacksmith" Mr.. Foraker retired to his
car and shut the door, Such is fame.
Mrs Foraker tells the story today in
great glee.

Boil Il Down,

The Republican leaders at st. Louis
are said to have agreed upon the fol-
lowing mpnentary plank: THE Re-
publican party is unreservedly for
sound money. It caused the enactment
Of the law providing for the resumption
Of specie payment in 1879; since then
every dollar has been as good as gold.
We are unaltcrably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit Of our coun-
try. We are. therefore. opposed to free
coinage Of silver except by international
agreement; and until such an agreement
can be obtained the existing gold stand
ard must be preserved. All our silver
and paper now in circulation as cur
rency must be maintained at parity
with gold. and we favor all measures to
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-06-17

maintain inviolably the obligations of
the United States. and all our money,
whether coin or paper at the present
standard, the standard Of the most en-
lightened nations of the earth"
One objection to this plank is that it
is cumbersome. Its thought could be
presented better in fewer words. for
example: "As the party which has al
ways favored an honest currency, the
Republican party now declares its op-
position to the free and unlimited coin
age Of silver until there is safe agree
ment to that effect among the leading
commercial nations" This plank ex-
presses the views of the majority Of Re-
publicans and has the merit of brevity.
All talk about favoring the inviolable
maintenance of the obligations Of the
United States is superfluous, since no.
where has there been any intimation of
q wish on the part of the Republican
party to repudiate those obligations or
impair the public credit: and platitudi
nizing on the subject will be simply a
waste Of words.
But since the platform-makers wish
to emphasize their devotion to the gold
standard, why not use simply these
,yor6s. Eve are onnosed to the free
coinage of silver except by international
agreement; and until such an agreement
can be obtained the existing gold stand
ard must be preserved" This covers
the whole ground, neatly and concisely.
1t is not a straddle nor a stump speech
but a plain. direct enunciation of party
doctrine. Why cannot the makers or
platforms learn to boil their effusions
down?

BRICE'S LITTLE STORY.
In the Times-Herald.

Wellman, In the Times-Herald.
Some one said to Senator Brice that it
did not matter which way the silver ques-
ton was decided, as the country could be
just as prosperous under silver stand
ard as 1t was with the gold standard, and
this remark reminded Senator Brice of
story. Two well-bred young men We're
rivals for the affections of a fair lady, and
being gentlemen, they did not wish to fight
n duel and try to kill each other, nor did
they want to go at 1t with thex fists.
They glowered at each other little while.
and then one said to his rival: I've don't
want to fight about this lady, so I'll tell
you what we'll do. We will toss for her"
To this the other agreed. "Then." said
the first, I'm toss up brick, and II it
stays in the air the girl is yours. II it
comes down she's mine"

GALUsHA A. CROWS PLANK.
-om the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Iimes-
"How would you write the financial
plank in the national PLATFORM? was
asked.
II would adopt the Minneapolis plat
form, with the addition that We are op-
posed TO the free coinage OF silver with
out international agreement My rea-
sons for this are that the government is
pledged to keep all of its paper money,
greenbacks and treasury notes inter-
changeable with gold. and that We have
got to do until our paper is all paid. The
Minneapolis platform said: We are in
favor of gold. paper and silver. inter-
changeable, one into the other, of the same
purchasing power Now. silver dollar
buys as much as a gold dollar. and pa
per dollar does the same thing. So our
money is all right just as 1t is. Let it
alone. with the addition above stated as
to free coinage"

THE sENATE'S UTILITY.
q Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
Sir John Mcdonald, the first prime min
lister of Canada, used to relate the follow
ing story to illustrate the need of an up
per house of congress:
"Of what use is the senator asked JEFF
ferson, as he stood before the fire with a
cup of tea in his hand. pouring the tea
into the saucer.
"You have answered your own ques-
tion," replied Washington.
What do you mean?
"Why do you pour that tea into the
saucer?'
ITO cool it,
Even so," said Washington, "the SEN
ate Is the saucer into which we pour
legislation to cool"

As to Morton for Second Place.


In personal sense the nomination at
st. Louis of Governor Levi P. Morton,
of New York, for vice-president would
be acceptable to the Republican party.
It would atone to some extent for what
many regard the injustice at Minneapo-
lis four years ago when the head of the
Harrison and Morton ticket was nomi-
mated and the tail set aside in favor Of
another New Yorker having less claim
to party favor. 1t would also call to the
presidency of the senate a man whose
prior experience in that position won
for him marked personal and social es-
TEEN. Other arguments in favor Of
Morton are that his nomination would
be the token of concliatory disposi-
ton toward ex-senator Platt; that 1t
would strengthen the ticket among the
banking and speculative interests in
New York city some of which have pro-
fessed to be dubious about Mckinley;

general subsistence of factional sore
ness.
On the contrary 1t may be urged that
1t might intensity the prejudices Of
many rural voters against a party
which they already affect to believe is
dominated by the money power and
thus react in favor of the enemy whose
whole campaign will probably consist
OF a general attack upon Mr.. Mortons
business associates in Wall street.
These prejudices are without substan-
tial foundation in fact, yet as political
factors which under certain contingent
cies might affect the final result they
deserve careful consideration Another
possible objection to Mr.. Morton is the
fact that as governor Of New York state
he has seemed to many outside observ-
ers to be little more than a lieutenant
of Mr.. Platt, ready to sign any measure
which Mr.. Platt favored. The Raines
bill, the greater New York bill and other
measures with Platt politics in them
could be brought into the national cam
vass in the event Of Governor Mortons
nomination for the presidency, and
might work needless injury.

to be safe for the Republican party

The Laws Delays.

Considerable comment has been elic-
itcd by the expedition with which the
Dyer woman in England. was indicted.
tried, sentenced and hanged for murder
The whole episode occupied less than
two months, or scarcely more than was
required to secure a jury in the case Of
the Fleming woman, in New York, who
is accused of poisoning her mother; and
the coincidence suggests the remark
that they order some things better
abroad"
In England, as the Philadelphia
Times points out the trial of prisoner
on criminal charge Is expected simply
to establish the truth; and when that Is
established to the satisfaction of the
court and jury the case ends. But with
US, 1.-The arrest of criminal Is simply
the beginning of battle between his
counsel and the prosecuting attorney,
which we expect to see carried on for as
long as human ingenuity can devise
pretexts for delay. The old theory or
trial by jury, a jury drawn by lot to
represent the impartial judgment Of
the community, has almost disap-
peared. We expect the bitterest kind
of a fight over the selection Of the
twelve men. And even after the man
has been tried and convicted, nobody
regards the verdict as a finality. The
battle has but just begun. We expect.
If we do not actually desire, to have the
case tried all over again, to see whether
a different jury would find the same
verdict. And then there are appeals, and
writs of error, and re-arguments and
stays Of proceeding and applications
for pardon, and the whole elaborate
machinery intended only for the most
exceptional cases is put in motion as a
matter of couse in behalf of every Grim
inal, great and small, no matter how
obvious his guilt
In other words, there has come to be
in many of our courts too much law
and too little justice. 1t is doubtful If
this condition Of affairs can be changed.
1t certainly will not be changed SO long
as tradition continues to hold the rein
over common sense in our methods of
criminal procedure. The abolition Of
the jury and the placing in the
judges hands of deciding power over
facts as we'll as law has been sug-
gested as a desirable step forward in
The direction Of reform. Under pru-
dent safeguards, and with three judges
called upon the bench, instead Of one,
the verdict of any two to be decisive.
and each to serve by appointment dur
ing life or good behavior, this sugges-
tion might work to the public advan-
tage. 1t certainly could not make mat
ters much worse than they now are.
