FOR LOVERS OF WHIST.

The following game, taken from Profess
or Richard A. Proctors Forty Illustra-
tive Hands" and intended for an example
Of the right use Of the discard, shows
rather how perilously near to disaster the
yictors were brought by blind obedience
to the rule Of "dscarding from long suit,
strength in trumps being with the en-
emy."
CAME Iv-TnE DISCARD.
Cards held, South-Hearts, 10, o. 3, g. d;
spades, 8, z. ., 5, 2; clubs, none; diamonds, Q,
j, 8.
Cards held, wess-Hearts. A, X, 8, 8; spades,
0, 4; clubs, A, x, q, j; diamonds X. Z, a.
Cards held. North-Hearts, none; spades, A,
X q, j; clubs, 0. q. 8. Z; diamonds, A. 0, s. 8 2
Cards h. III. East-lIearts, q. j, 2, 2; spades.
". 8; clubs, 10, 3, IL, 4. diamonds, TO- g.
The seven Of hearts is turned trump to
the east. South leads. The underlined card
wins the trick, AMI the card below IT is led.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-03-23

Notes and Inferences.-l. s. leads fourth
best of his long weak suit rather than trumps.
The lead is unsound. W. begins n signal.
2 n. leads the lowest Of the head sequence
TO show :. he holds the others. W. completes
the signal. Neither W. nor Il. has any more
spades.
o. N. cannot 60 on with spades. since that
would be leaving T. 10 ruff and w. to discard.
He therefore opens his long suit. L. begins
"the echo Of the signal"
4. T.. completes the echo.
o. n. discards from his long suit, strength
In trumps being with the enemy.
O. All the honors are with W. Il. N. sees that
the sole chance Is that s. may hold the long
trump and be able with IL 70 bring in his long
spades. He does net begin ut once, however,
TO get out Of the way. II he had allowed the
seventh trick to pass before beginning to dis
card his big spades, the game would have beer
pnst saving. But he had a reason for waiting
TO the seventh trick.
T. W. should at once have led clubs. There
Is only one chance for $. N.-viz, that s, hold
ing the winning diamond, should remain with
the long trump. IL he does, then, as he has
tho three long spades, he can have no clubs
and will bring in his long suit by rufiing clubs
after the other trumps are out. But IL he Is
forced at trick land he cannot refuse the
force) he is powerless to save the game.
5. W. having blundered, +. follows suit.
They thought the game SO sure that DO care
wns wanted. "a nero 'walkoyer, " said Il.
as he led and 40 ID was, only the walking was
donc by the other side. The discard Of the
spade king at trick should have shown W. Z.
their danger. That was why N. delayed the
significant discards.
0, 10. IL, IL. -. S. N. walkover, winning
TOO.
Now, with due respect for Professor
Proctor, the reason given in noto for
the delay Of the significant dlscards"
was either an afterthought or subter
fugo to permit obedience to the set rule
that 1.-The first discard should be from long
suit, trumps being declared with oppo-
nents" After tho 1rst two rounds w.
and IL. knew as well as s. and N. that the
remaining spades lay three with s. and
two with n, and that the latter were
therefore worse than useless. Their dis
card, whether they were high or low, could
have no significance beyond tho disclosure
that n. had enough sense to throw away
the worst cards in his hand. He ought TO
have done so from the beginning. That
he camc TO his right senses at tho last
moment, and that w. led hearts instead OF
clubs In trick T. were simply strokes Of
good fortune.
In fact, the example is q flno illustra-
tion Of .vacillating and illogical discards
and the disaster which would have re-
suited had not right principles been put
into practice In the nick Of time.

Is the same, and the language isl nearly
identical, it strikes Us that ~ anti
McKinleyites are rather premature in de-
nouncing the Ohio plank as some new
"compromise" which is likely to land us
all in the free silver camp AS there are
indications that we may all be carrying
torches for MCKINLEY before the leaves
begin to iall, II behooves Republicans TO
be little prudent in discussing the cur
rency question: question too profcund
to be settled on-hand or by the adherence
to any such omnibus phrase as "honest
money" which may mean one thing to
the resident of New York and quite an
other TO the dweller in Denver.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-03-23

REFERRING to the possible nomination
for President of MCKINLEY at st. Louis,
the Providence correspondent of the
Boston Sunday Globe takes note Of bit
Of political gossip that we have before
taken occasion to quote from newspapers
all over the country, as follows: Sand
just here II won't be out Of place to speak
OF the Vice Presidency and ex Governor
ID. RUSSELL BROWN. At the Republican
league convention held in Cleveland ex-
Governor BpowN was mentioned frequent
and always with enthusiasm, as fitting
candidate for Vice President in the event
of Western man being nominated for
President. Since then many Republicans
In the New England States have been
quietly laying the foundations for Mr..
Browns nomination, and should Nc
KrNLEY get the nomination their work
will be made much easier"

THE OHIO PLANK.

There has been so much adverse criti-
cism OF the financial plank adopted by
the Ohio Republican convention, and in
a measure by Republicans as well as DEM
ocrats, that 1t may not be out of place to
call the attention of the public to the fact
that the Ohio plank is almost ident cal
with the financial plank of the netional
Republican convention adopted at. Minne-
apolis on June 10, 1892.
Here is the Ohio plank, whicn has
caused SO much commotion:
"wo contend for honest money for currency.
and for gold. silver and paper with which TO
as the government and as untarnisbed rs its
honor. and to that end We favor bi.metalism
and demand the use Of both gold and silver
as standard money. either in accordance with
tho ratio 20 be fixed by international agree
ment, II that can be obtained, or under such
restrictions and provisions TO be determined
by legislation as will maintain the parity Of
value between the two metals so that pur.
chasing and dett paying power Of a dollar,
whether OF silver OF gold or paper, shall be at
oil times equal"
And here also Is the creed of the Repub-
lican party as enuncinted at Ito last na-
tional convention:
"Tho American people. from tradition and
interest, favcr bi.metSlism, and the Repub-
lican party demands the use Of both gold and
silver - standard money. with such resiric-
tions and under such provisions, 80 be deter
mined by legislation, as will secure tho main.
tenance OF the paiitY Il values q tho two
metals, 70 that the purchasing and deht.pay-
Ing power OF the dollar, whether of silver.
gold or paper, shall be st all times equal. The
Interests OF the producers of the country. It's
farmers and its workingmsn. demand tha,
every dollar. paper or coin, issued by the
Government shall he as good ~ any other.

measures as Will insure rarity q valno be-
