AN INTERESTING COMEDY.
Rochester Post-EXpross.

Rochester Post-EXpross.
There are few features in the Ameri-
can political campaign more innately hui
morous than the formal and solemn noti-
fication to the candidates of their nomi-
nation. This serious and impressive work
is invariably done by committee which
is some weeks in getting around from con-
vention TO candidate. Meanwhile the
members of the committee have person.
ally congratulated the candidate, the
town where he lives has whooped things
until 1t seemed TO be daft, loyal eXcur-
sionists have come from all parts of the
country to wiring the nominees hand and
hang on his hopeful words, ready letter
writers have deluged him with their epis-
tles-it Is said that Mckinley gets 1000 let
| ters a day-office seekers try to squeeze
promises out Of him, his picture adorns
half the press of the world and his name
appears in every newspaper songs are
written about him, bands serenade him,
babies are named for him, and at last,
after two weeks of a suspense that must
be theoretically full of wonder, the honor
able committee calls upon the candidate
| to notify him'-save the mark.-of his
nomination. And even then the jest is not
over; the acting has just begun: He re-
| ceives them calmly and courteously as
any other callers, they discuss the
| weather and kindred playful topics-or
| the candidate seems to expect to do so,
until the gentlemen immensely surprise
| him by pompously revealing the news
which they bear. How amazed. ini-
pressed, and grateful he then is: how hap.
PLY, in a long written impromptu speech,
| he replies! The episode is one of the best
| of our national farces.

THE MONEY QUESTION.

"The America n people hold the finan-
cial honor of our government as sacred
as our flag and can be relied upon to
guard it with the same sleepless vigil
ance. They hold it's preserva-
tion above party fealty and have
often demonstrated that party
ties avail nothing when the spot
less credit of our country is threatened.
The money of the United States, and
every kind and form of it, whether Of
paper, silver or gold, must be as good
as the best in the world. 1t must not
only be current at its full face value at
homa, but 1t must be counted at par in
any and every commercial centre of the
globe. The sagacious and far-seeing
policy Of the great mon who founded our
government, the teachings and acts Of
the wisest financiers at every stage in
our history. the steadfast faith and
splendid achievements of the great
party to which we belong and the genius
and integrity of our people have al
ways demanded this and will ever MAIN
tain, it. The dollar paid to the farmer.
the wage-earner and the pensioner must
continue forever equal in purchasing
and debt-paying power to the dollar
paid to any government creditor. NC

revolution that shall make the civil war
seem pastoral frolic by comparison.
The western states are depicted as being
at a pitch of ferocious hatred toward
the east, which they threaten with de-
struction. Says one strenuous correspond
end: when 1t Is remembered that all
these so-called western silver states are
self-governing, have their own armies
well equipped with modern weapons. and
are infiamed with hate, 1t Is not difficult to
grasp the serious significance of their
threats" Hence it is. declares this in
genuous prophet Of unspe peakable disaster.
that so many patriotic citizens would
hail with delight war with some for
e.gn power" because 1t would divert pub
lie attention from these Irritating mat
ters, and bind Americans together in one
common cause. 1t Is amusingly difticuit
to get reasonable appreciation OF Amer
lean affairs before the judgment of the
average Englshman. There Is dispo-
sition to believe any sensational eStrava-
gance, while the eXpositions OF the inside
workings of the political systems and
machines by those who profess to know
them intimately are often comical to q
degree. None of these has been more in
the vein Of Mark Twain, though uncon-
sciously so on the writer's part, than q
painfully detailed recital of Mr.. Mckin-
ley's rise from obscurity to national emf
nence wholly as "a creature of circum-
stance" Now it would be quite impossi-
Bile to convince so self-suficient a person
as an English political correspondent in
America that the man who hews to the
line for thirty years, overcoming one OBJ
stacle after another. and making tenn
porary defeat his herald of victory, Is
hardly creature of circumstance. Fate
hasn't played McKinley's cards; he has
held his own hand

SIXTEEN TO ONE.

The meaning of the words 'l6 to T. is
defined in dollars and cents by a prom
inent banking firm in Philadelphia as fol-
lows: ut means in practice that sixteen
ounces Of silver should be held as worth
as much as one ounce of gold. One ounce
of gold, American coin standard Of fine
ness-that is, 500 parts of pure gold to 100
of alloy, will coin in gold dollars SlS.GO. Six
teen ounces OF silver American coin stand
ard of fineness-that Is, 900 parts of pure
silver to 100 of alloy. ut the rate of 4l2ia
grains to the dollar Uhe weight of the
present standard silver dollaD will coin
$3.50 In silver dollars. These sixteen
ounces of silver can be bought in the
markets Of the world today for 50 "a.
There would. therefore. be a profit Of $3.50
on an Investment of 1894, being about 81
per cent, If the holder of silver could take
it to the mint and coin it without charge
into silver dollars. The advocates of free
coinage, favor a law that will allow any
holder of silver bullion, or, in fact, silver
of any kind (as the latter can readily be
melted into bars) to have the right to take
the same to any mint Of the United States
and convert it into silver coin free OF
charge"

For Congress.

At the risk of being thought preju-
diced. The Tribune desires to say few
words concerning the announcement by
William Copnell Of his candidacy for
congress.
Nh Connell, it is true, is one of the
owners OF this paper, fact which or
dinarily would seal its columns against
words of personal comme ndation. But
If all those local enterprises in which
he is actively Interested to the COM
munity's benefit We're to be prevented
by his participation in them from voicing
their recognition of his worth, there still
would be an earnest demand from dis
interested citizens for his selection as
this industrial districts next represen-
tative in congress.
That congress promises to be one Of
unusual importance. 1t will be charged
with practically the reconstruction of
the nations revenue system. To it will
be delegated by the people at the COM
ing election the welcome but at the same
time difficult task of readjusting the
national policy so as to do away with
deficits, reverse the now adverse bal
ance of foreign trade and restore among
domestic industries needed protection
against foreign competition. This work
will not call for butterfly statesmanship.
1t will demand serious and practical
business skili-the wisdom of the sue
cessful nian of business who knows
by personal experience what has gone
wrong and howNt can be remedied.
1t IS no reflection upon any other clti-
zen Of Lackawanna county to say that
William Connell is by breadth and
variety of practical business experience
and by long familiarity with this COM
munity's varied resources pre-eminept-
ly qualified to take part in this import
ant work. If others excel in special
directions, surely none within the dis
trict surpass him in all-round equip
ment for effective labor in the practical
safeguarding of home industries by new
tariff legislation.
BY the election of William Connell to
congress the district itself would gain,
not he. To him it would mean personal
sacrifice.
