OLD SAWS AND MODERN INSTANCES.

Mr.. Bryan's financial creed IS explicitly set
forth In the Chicago platform, on which he
stands and which he cordially approves, as fol-
lows:
1--WE demn nd that the standard silver dollar
shall be IA full legal tender. equally with
gold, for all debts. public md private. and
we favor such legislation ms will prevent for
the future the decentralization of my kind Of
IernI-tcnder money by private contract"
That is the new morality preached by those
who would proclaim new era in human gov
eminent Nevertheless
"In vain we call old notions fudge.
And bend conscience to our dealing,
The Ten Commandments Will not bulge,
And stealing will continue stealing"

NAVAL IDEAS FROM FRANCE.

One OF the most significant and instructive
movements Of the present time in naval affairs
is TO be observed In France. 1t has been started
by Admiral Fournler who more than year ago
laid before the Government a detailed and some
what revolutionary plan of naval reform in both
tactics and construction. The Government has
had 1t under careful consideration. and as yet
has neither adopted nor rejected II in whole.
But 1t has adopted II in part. and has actually
entered upon the first stages OF It's execution.
There Is no certainty that II Will proceed fur
thcr and yet there is strong probability that
il will: and there Is sufficient possibility that II
will 90 on with the entire scheme to excite the
eager attention OF every Admiralty Board and
naval expert in Europe. and 70 arouse A discus
sion which promises to exert n marked effect
upon naval construction in the immediate future
Admiral Fourier begins with recognition Of
the fact that modern science has radically
changed the conditions OF naval warfare. There
fore he urges. naval construction and tactics
must be- CORRESPONDENCE modified. and that ship,
or that fleet will be most effective which Is most
perfectly adapted to the new conditions. All
that goes without saying. But what type of ship
and Of fleet Is It that Is thus called for? One
says the monitor, another the armored battle
ship, another the cruiser, another the torpedo
boat. Admiral FOurners answer is, that ship
which possesses the greatest speed and the
greatest range of action Such a ship will be
able TO choose its own time. place and manner
of fighting and to impose them upon it's foe
II will he able TO force the fighting. or to post

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

When money is obtained at per cent on tho
very best commercial paper. and on no othe- at
any rate 1t is not strange that many are anxious
TO have the tension relaxed by an issue of clear
ing-house certificates. The step. nevertheless
might be used dlsngenuously igLoranty
TO strengthen the notion that there is not
money enough in the country. and that the at
tempt to do business on a gold basis is really
dismal failure. Well-informed men know
that the apprehension OF departure from that
basis. and Of continuing the industrial depression
Of the last three years. causes all the trouble
but unhappily 1t Is not In the power cf well-In-
formed men to make their knowledge Of the
facts altogether shared by voters. But the

Brother Bryan got badly mixed the other day
when he attributed the famous prayer OF Agur
the son of Jakeh, about poverty and riches to
Solomon, and that experience should have taught
him the need of caution in making references TO
the Bible. In his speech on Saturday he told the
people OF Duchess County that 1t Demetrius

Ephesans"' Now. according to the narrative
given In the nineteenth chapter of the book OF
Acts. Demetrius called the craftsmen" together
with the workmen of like occupation" and told
them about the damage Paul was causing to
their business, land when they heard these say
ings they were full Of wrath, and cried out say
ing, Great is Diana of the Ephesians" Perhaps
Brother Bryan has a specially revised version In
his possession.

The worst feature Of our cmate-humidity-
came out strongly yesterday and was responsible
for large amount Of serious discomfort The
temperature was not high but for the third time
within a month the amount Of humidity in the
atmosphere reached the point OF sauratlon-lO0
per cent. II should be borne in mind. however
that with high temperature the air holds more
moisture. so that with the mercury well up the
percentage Of humidity yesterday would have
been considerably less. As II was, II remained
above 30 per, cent all day. The experience of the
day, fortunately. does not betoken another hot
spell like the one from whose effects we have
hardly yet recovered
