The eoId-Standard Democrats.
fWashinrfon Pnsf-l

Washington Post-)
The whirligig OF time has during
has during the past ten or twelve
weeks whirled the Maine Democrats
with such cyclonic vigor and through
so many strange vicissitudes that
common courtesy. not to say decor
cy, demands the exercise of unusual
charity ia commenting on the things
they have done, as we'll as on the
things they have not done. But
there is u limit to that demand, and
the gold Democrats of the Pine Tree
State, although they follow the ex
ample OF some OF their overzealous
brethren in other States, have reach
ed point from which they should
DO called down. In the platform
which they adopted last week they
say: 1--WE absolutely repudiate and
denounce the Populistic assemblage
known as the Chicago convention,
aud everything eminating therefrom.
The Post stated when the Chicago
convention was in session that it was
the most Democratic national con-
vention ever held in the United
States. 1t WIS not only democratic
IN tho broad sense. Ii was dominaed
by the opinions that large majori
ty of Democrats had long maintained.
The Democratic party has been a
free coinage party. a silver party,
ever since the currency issue came
into politics. Scores, if not hun
dreds, of test votes in Congress
prove this. If Mr. Cleveland had
not revitalized the tariff issue, push
ed it TO the trout, aud held it there.
the currency question, the issue that
is Low on, would have split his par
ty in 1888, just as it has ront in 1896.
If these Maine Democrats believe, as
they profess, that free coinage
means reputation, dishonor, and
disaster, it is right for them to vote
against it, and they should put their
ballots where they will count against
free coinage. But it is worse than
folly for them to declare in Maine or
in Indiana, in a state or in a national
platform, in speeches or in editorial
dellverances, that Bryan and Sewall
arc not tho candidates Of the Demo
cratic party. These men represent
the views that a majority of the par.
ty have held for more than IA dozen
years.
IT is asserted by the gold Demo.
Gratis that Mr. Bryan ''has repeatedly
stated that he should not support
the Democratic candidate this year
il gold standard man were nomi
mated Suppose that to be- true,
what Of it? MIR. Bryan has never
salu lnat III he bOlted he would still
be Democrat. He has never said
that a minority could bolt. aud still
be the party He had right TO say
that if majority decided against
his convictions he would stop out.
The plain truth is that the Demo
cratic party is for free coinage and
the Republican party is opposed to
that policy. This boiling Republi
cons are supporting Bryan. Ia so
doing they give hint to tho bolt
ing Democrats. There are but two
sides in this fight, and there are not
two Democratic or two Republican
parties.

the carriage preceding the one in which the
queen rode. and which bore her majesty's
Indian attendants. holted and overturned
the carriage. The driver and one of the
queens attendants were badly hurt. The
queens carriage followed quietly. Her
majesty was much perturbed by the acci-
dent, and asked. with particularly, as to
the condition of the men who had been
hurt.
There was no demonstration along the
railway route from Windsor Castle to Pad
dington- Arriving at the latter station
the queen walked to her carriage, with
slight assistance from an attendant. She
appeared to be in good health. She was
dressed in black. having been seated in
an open landau, her majesty was driven
to Marlborough House, where she made a
brief stay. and viewed the wedding pres
ents. after which she proceeded to Buck
ingham palace.
A good deal of excitement was caused for
q short time last evening by some curt aims
and other drapery In a room in the fourth
story of Buckingham palace becoming ig-
nfted by some unknown cause. Quite an
was turned in. which brought the fire en-
gines and the fire escapes to the scene The
nre, however. proved to be trivial and soon

was done to keep her majesty from being
perturbed, after her experience of witness

LAYTON, July 22.-There are number
of places in Walpack township where the
main roads are very narrow. In most
such places they are bounded on one side
by embankments, and ON the other by
steep declivities or ravines, which are
somewhat dangerous, especially at night, or
when teams meet. We would suggest
that road machine with blade set well in
TO the bank would transfer dirt to the op-
posite side of the road quickly ,cheaply and
well, while it would benefit the road at
the same time that it would give It the
added width that is so essential.
Schenck Merrill is said to have put five
moving machines to work in his grass to
save 1t from the army worm. If it is the
real army worm it is to be hoped its rava-
ges may be stayed. Even if it is not that
distinct species, 1t is from all accounts
sufficiently destructive.
