GOOD NEUS FE0y Sr. IOUrs


The hest news that comes from ST.
Louis is that the financial plank of the
platform will be sound. There is no
talk of any compromise with or con-
cesslon to the advocates of free silver.
All the discussion is over the wording
of the sound money declaration. It is
said that Mr.. Hanna favors what is
known as the Indiana platform. This
reads as follows: I'VE favor the use
of silver as currency, but to the extent
only and under such regulations that
its parity with gold eau be maintained,
and in consequence are opposed to the
free, unlimited, and independent coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to l. We
are firm and emphatic in our demands
for honest money. We believe that our
money should not be inferior to the
money of the most enlightened nations
of the earth. We are unalterably OPP
posed to every scheme that threatens
to debase or depreciate our currency"
This is open to the objection that while
it means gold the word gold" is not
used in it. The New York delegation.
which will, of course, have a great deal
of influence in this matter, is said to
want this declarations: 1--WE are entire
ly opposed to the free coinage of silver
as full legal tender money, and to any
change in the existing gold standard,
except by international agreement to
which England, France, and Germany
must be parties. Every promise must
be regularly kept, and every obligation
redeemable in coin must be paid in
gold, to the full satisfaction of the Just
dues of all creditors home or foreign"
This is brief, plain, means gold and
says gold"
1t is to be hoped that the financial
plank will not only mean gold, but will
say gold" The financial issue is the
all important one, and the Republicans
should be on the right side of it with
both feet.

The new high school building at Med

an example of what may be done in an
educational line as to interior decora-

the building there are 172 works of art
of different kinds, most of them being
large photo-engravings, while there are
also busts, bas reliefs and other articles
of beauty and value. The busts and

works Of art, so that while carrying the
main idea of presenting an author or

decorations are valued at s., 100, and

Governor Drake, of Iowa, is about to
begin an interesting experiment in deal
ing with criminals. He is a firm be-
lever in the merit system. He does
not, however, believe in cutting short a
term of Imprisonment by pardoning
any convict for good behavior or prev
ious good character And at this point
he begins his experiment. The COVER
nor will confine his present efforts at
rescue from criminal life to those con-
victs in the State penitentiaries who are
serving first term, at least half of
which has expired, and who have been
good citizens prior to conviction. In
every such case he proposes to suspend
sentence Hberate the man and give
him another chance. Especially will
he hasten such action where the convict
has a family dependent upon him and
his neighbors express a confidence in
his future conduct. By this system he
will keep string on the men thus
turned out of the penitentiary. enabling
them to be brought back in case they
violate their pledge of good behavior
He believes it will prove successful. as
a compromise between the uncertain
merit OF an actual pardon and the dis
astrous effect on certain natures of a
full term OF Imprisonment.

A simple characterization of the diff
ference between anthracite and btu
minous coal was given recently by Ed
itor Weeks of Pittsburg at hearing
before the Gas committee of the Mas
sachusetts legislature. The difference,
he remarks, is practically in the
amount of volatile substances that can
be driven off by the application of heat;
thus, anthracite coal contains from five
to ten per cent. of volatile matter, the
remainder being carbon and ash, while
bituminous coal has from seventeen or
twenty up to as high as thirty-six per
cent, and good Connellsville blast fur
mace coke shows from half to three
fourths of one per cent, these Goals be-
ing at one time practically the same
that is, the anthracite was at one time
a bituminous, coal, as the coke was, the
volatile matter having been driven out
OF both, this being. in the case of the
anthracite, by the pressure of the strata
of earth imposed upon it, and by the
heats generated by such great weight
of surface above them.

don. In one of the school districts too
many parents reported no children in
their families and in order to ascer-
tain the real number of children in the
district the school officers resorted to
an ingenious measure. Two monkeys
were gayly dressed, put in wagon and,
accompanied by a brass band, were car
ried through the streets of the district.
AT once crowds of children made their
appearance. The procession was stop
ped in a park and the school officers
began their work; distributing candies
to the youngsters, they took their names
and addresses. They found out that
over sixty parents kept their children
from school. The ingenious measure
brought to the school about two hun
dred boys and girls.

The riotous behavior of Harvard stu
dents in celebrating a victory, in the
course of which they were brought into
bloody collision with the Boston police,
is we'll explained by the Boston Herald
as due to the fact that the Harvard

with the idea of victory to know how
to celebrate it properly.
