The Gladstone Hotel.

The Gladstone Hotel,
Narragansett Pier r. l., July 10, 1897.
Messrs. Sands, Roland King and /. S.
Tooker:
Gentlemen-It is with great surprise
that l received your letter of the 9Th
inst, the most discourteous communi-
cation that ] have ever received from
club that call themselves gentlemen.
AS you probably do not know, men,
Der of a club is always brought before
the committee before any complaint is
made against him, in order that he
may defend himself. On the complaint
of your irascible steward you charge
me with taking ice from the ice pitcher
as a habit. The facts are simply these,
as Dr. Mckay can certify: 1 recently
had a sunstroke, and it is necessary
that l use ice as soon as the blood
comes to my head. 1 was suddenly
taken with congestion of the brain in
the club on the 5th of July, about noon.
l seized the pitcher, took out a piece
of ice and put it on my head. thus
saving me probably from congestion.
Your extremely impertinent steward.
in the most ostentatious way, seized
the pitcher and in a loud voice ordered
the waiter to take it away. | shall
hold you all individually responsible
for this note, and unless I receive e.
ample apology from each of you in
dividually l will make this public
through the press and take such other
steps as L think necessary.
e. PARKER DEACON.
AS was said above, club law is
most intricate thing and no one but a
member of the governing committee
can presume to speak with authority
upon the subject.
In this case of King ct al. VS.. Deacon
the defense appears to be complete. 1t
is better that a man, even = member of
a social club, put his hand into a water
pitcher and draw therefrom a piece of
ice than that he die of congestion of
the brain. And what on earth is a
pitcher of ice in a club for unless it be
for just some such emergency as hap
pened at Newport? Can any club
man remember ever to have seen an
other club man use the pitcher of ice
water for any purpose whatever? 1t is
a dernier resort, and dernier resorts do
not exist in clubs so far as liquids are
At times a club man may
need ice the next morning. Why not
use it the night before, even T. one has
to put his hand into a pitcher to
get it?
Mr.. Deacon says he will hold King
ct al. personally. responsible. He prob
ably means what he says, for he is the
same Deacon who some three or four
years ago killed NJ. Abielle in France |
because NJ. Abielle had entered his
home and debauched it. That the af-
satisfy Deacon, for his record |
proves that he is not a newspaper
fighter
The whole affair is very interesting !
and should furnish quite an amount of
gossip and entertainment. The clubs
all over the country cannot fail to |
take deep and particular interest in /
it, for who knows when member may /
be threatened with congestion of the
brain and plunge his hand into a
pitcher for ice that he may preserve
his life?

Strange how little faith the Repub-
Ican papers of the east have in the
mission Of the Wolcott commission.
Thus the New York Commercial Ad-
yertiser says: THE negotiations be-
tween the American bimetallic commits
sion and the representatives of France
and Great Britain, a London dispatch
informs us, have now reached the stage
which renders it extremely probable
that Great Britain viii agree to par
ticipate in a conference to be held in
washington next fall. Negotiations
have reached the same stage on sew
eral occasions before, and they have
reached the still further stage where
the representatives of Great Britain
have blandly but firmly informed their
binetallic colleagues that the United
Kingdom lad prospered ever since
1916 under the single gold standard.
and that it had no intention of aban-
doning that standard for the purpose
of trying experiments with its none
tary system. 1t is also strange how
some western Republican papers pace
so.much faith in the Wolcott commits
sion's work.

1T DOES NOT DOWN.


The silver issue does not down. and
will not. In Maryland Senator Cor
man has been trying to keep it down,
but with no success whatever. A spe-
cial telegram from Hagerstown, dated
July 20, to the Philadelphia Times,
saws:
Senator Germans friends seem I'M
able to keep down the silver sentiment
in the county conventions. The Wash
ington county Democratic convention,
one of the most important in the state,
met here today. The silver men were
in absolute control. P. A. Wilmer pre-
sided.
state committee. The membership was
increased to five and these We're elect
ed: DR.. J. II. Wade, DR.. J. c. Har-
per, ]. ]. Moore, b. A. Belts and T.
A. Poffenberger, all free silver men.
It cannot be charged that these
Maryland Democrats have a ''sordid
interest" in silver in the shape of
mines, or that they are members Of
any silver trust" Senator German
is recognized as a very astute politi-
clan, to whom the working of the ropes
in conventions is as familiar as the
alphabet. But he is not able to control
the silver sentiment in the county
conventions. And why is he not? Sim
ply because that sentiment is the ex-
preston of Democratic principle of
first Importance, and the Democrats
refuse to surrender their convictions
on it to anyone for any purpose. That
is the explanation.
The silver issue will not down, and
the passage of new tariff law will
utterly fail to affect it; on the con-
trary. its effect is very likely to be TO
accentuate it's Importance, because that
law will, in all probability, fail to ac
compIsh what its authors predict for
it. AS the great evils from which the
country suffers are not the result of
tariff legislation, but of financial, so
tariff legislation cannot remedy them.
This little incident in Washington
county, Maryland, should serve those
who say the silver issue is dying out
as straw to show which way the wind
blows

THE TRUANCY LAW.

The Criminal Court officials are quite
right in Directing to the prosecuting of
young boys under the compulsory educa-
ton law The law does not provide for and
never contemplated bringing truant chill
dren into court as criminals. Their parents
or guardians are subject to penalty, either
of fine or Imprisonment, for refusing to aid
the truant officer in compelling the attend
ance of the youngsters at school. The law
authorizes the establishment by school COM
missioners of a parental home" where cir
cumstances call for it, which incorrigible
children may, with the consent Of commits
sioners and parents, be compelled to at
tend for an undetermined time, but ever
in such case there is no provision for bring
ing the child into court. At present there
is no such truant home or school in Indian
apolis, and probably the number of per-
sistent absentees from the regular schools
does not warrant the opening of one, but
with all the Importance of giving every boy
the rudiments of an education whether he
will or not, it will hardly do to class the
one who refuses to profit by his advantages
and runs away from them as criminal to
be sent, perhaps, to the Reform School. If
all the boys who played hockey at every
opportunity. yet afterwards became fairly
respectable citizens, had been hauled into
court and threatened with the terrors of the
law upon each offense their later careers
might have been less commendable. There
must necessarily be more or less friction
education law at first, but it will be well
for the truant officers throughout the State
to study carefully their powers and limita-
TONS and. if necessary, to secure a legal
ruling on the matter. The law is a good
one in principle, but must not be used as a
vehicle for injustice.
