Mr.. Hutton on the Caesars.

In his Literary Landmarks of
Rome, in Harper's Magazine, Mr..
Laurence Hutton adopts a tone of
facetious humor occasionally when
writing of the ancients. Here is a
sample of his style:
All students will remember that
julius Caesar announced that all
Gaul was divided into three parts,
each of which, with all the gall in
his possession, he attached to him
self. This celebrated man of letters,
against the advice of his wife, Cal
purnia, went out to meet his fate on
a famous March morning, from the
Regia, close to the Temple of Vesta
in the Forum, and here his widow
received his body, brought back
with all its gaping wounds by few
of his faithful slaves. Alas, it was
too late for her to tell him that she
had told him so, but no doubt in all
her great grief she thought it.

The Drift Toward Gold.

While Mr.. Bryan and his associates,
refusing to accept the verdict OF last
November, are looking forward hope
fully to renewing what they call the
"battle for silver" at the next congress
sional elections; while bimetalllo
commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the
interest of international bimetalllsm,
there may be perceived all over the
world an unmistakable drift toward the
single standard Of gold. Since the ap-
pointment of the United States COM
nissioners the dispatches from Europe
indicate that their mission will be fruit
less, and that there is no more probable
ity of those governments returning to
bimetallism than there is of their re-
turning to fintlocE muskets for their
armies. The latest announcement is
from Russia, which is to the effect that
she is irrevocab1y committed to the gold
standard.
But it is not in Europe alone that
this tendency is observable The wis
dom and apparent ease with which the
japanese government has planned the
adoption of the gold standard is one of
the marvels of modern craftsmanship
and marks that people as among the
most sagacious nations Of the earth.
Laggard China also seems to be aWak-
ing from her silver dream Of isolation
and is anxious to have the customs du-
ties at the treaty ports placed on the
gold basis, as they substantially were
when the treaties were made. The de-
probation of silver has greatly crippled
her revenues, and now that she is COM
ing into closer financial connection with
Russia it may be assumed that her
finances will be cOnfOrmed to the gold
standard.
If we turn from the far orient to our
own hemisphere, we will perceive a
stirring in the Central and South Amer
lean states to reform their monetary sys-
tenn and escape the losses entailed by
an inferior and deprecated currency. A
dispatch a few days since from Lima
informed us that Peru had not only sus-
pended silver coinage but had passed
law against the importation OF silver.
Columbia has adopted the gold stand
ard, while Chilli, Uruguay and Brazil
make gold unlimited legal tender and
silver in but limited sums. In HOndu
ras, San Salvador, Costa RIGA and Santo
Domingo the gold standard has been es-
tablished by law, though deprecated
paper currency prevents the circulation
of gold at present These movements go
to show that those nations who are In
touch with European trade and COM
MERGE feel the necessity of having the
same monetary system and that their
people are at a disadvantage because of
their f1uctuating and deprecated home
currencies.
And yet while these nations, admit
teddy our interiors in wealth and in
physical and intellectual progress, are
struggling out of the bonds that hold
them back there are those among us
who would imperil our vast wealth and
commerce by plunging us down to the
silver standard. What must the nations
of the world think Of such leadership
and statesmanship?- Chicago Times

Her Hact.

An American woman who crossed
the ocean not long ago was much
puzzled by the conduct of her sta
BILE companion. Each day this in
dividual, typical London cockney
would approach the woman and ask
If she would mind keeping out of
the stateroom during a certain hour.
Each day, too, the American woman
consented to SO absenting herself,
though she wondered much what the
stable companion could be up to
with such regularity. At last curl
osity was too much for the Ameri-
can, and she boldly asked the Lon
doner what she wanted with the
stateroom for whole hour every
day. "Oh, it's my hact, Z was the
answer; Just my hact, that's all.

Thomas Jefferson Not . Democrat.

It is painful to be forced to unmask
man who has been so long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but a stern sense of duty to the free sill
yer and spoils Democracy of the present
compels us to portray him in his true
colors. It is not right that he should re-
ceive the enthusiastic laudations of
Chicago platform Democrats when he
was false to nearly every one of the
great and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1896. What right
had Jefferson to pose as a Democrat,
anyhow? What pretensions to Democ-
racy had a man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense to national affairs, who
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness of obligations, who demone-
tized silver when he saw it was neces-
sary for the public good and who was a
civil service refOrmer,
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
Mr. Jefferson instead of praising him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for it is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago
platform is to be taken as the expression
of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
Jefferson was not a Democrat and must
descend from his pedestal as the father
of Democracy. Baltimore Sun.

1t is in vain to invoke the authority
of Jefferson for the coinage of so cent
dollars or any other debasement of the
currency. Our ''neo Democratic"
friends, if they wish to yindicate their
claim to the title of ''old line Dem
ocrats, who have Jefferson for their
father, will have to abandon their idea
of free coinage at the ratio of 16 to /
or any other arbitrary rate, but if they
will have a double standard make it 80
to /, in order to be honest in the pay
ment of debts and to conform to the ac-
tual ratio in the value of the two met
ais in the markets of the world, it be-
ing, as Jefferson says, "a mercantile
problem altogether. Baltimore Sun.
