Four or five Washington pastors were
having a pleasant little meeting the
other afternoon at the study of one of
them, and they were having compare
lively az much fun out of il as that
many FOUNDERS would have had at sa-
loon knee deep in AZ varieties of tipple
They were telling Sunday school stories,
a. a rule, but they swung around after
awhile to temperance.
In my youth in Virginia, said the
host, I'VE had, what is rare nowadays
to wit, lot OF more or less seedy and
shabby genteel old fellows who went
about the country delivering lectures on
temperance and getting out of il only
about so much as would clothe and feed
them. Some Of them were no doubt good
and conscientious men, but among them
were many who, Notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved TO take a glass
of something warming to the inner man.
Most of these tipplers We're very par
ticular not to have the rumor get abroad
that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and
when they took their drinks they OBJ
served great secrecy remember there
was one whom we thought to be most
abstemious old fellow, and no one
thought he ever tasted drop particu-
larly a maiden aunt of mine who lived
with my mother and was as rigid a
temperance woman as ever came out of
New England My mother was much
more liberal and wanted always to en-
tertain these workers in the good cause,
but my aunt had become so suspicious
Of all of them except this particular one
that he was the only one who could find
nights lodging at our place.
Zone night this old chap came to stay
all night, and he had such a severe cold
goose grease on his feet and toasting It
in by the fire before he went to bed.
Now, as it happened, in the room where
he slept there was a new carpet which
my aunt had presented to my mother as
a birthday gift, and there was an old
fashioned sideboard in the same room,
with two gallon jug of good whisky

put inside and lock up. At o'clock the
black boy carried in the goose grease to
our guest and left him sitting before the
fire.
Just what happened after that no
body knows, but after the guest had de-
parted next morning and the servants
went to straighten up the room they
found tracks innumerable between the
fireplace and the sideboard, and in some
way it was discovered that the old fell
low, afraid Of taking cold, had creased
his socks and toasted the grease into his
feet through them, and while the toast
ing was going on he made regular and
frequent trips to the jug. OF course, if
the tracks on the carpet had not betrayed
him, no one would have ever noticed by
the jug that he had been drinking out
Of it. He never came back again, and
don't know whether my aunt was more
panied over the ruined carpet or over
the ruined idol, for she had the greatest
confidence in the old man. "--Washing-

South still Stands For state Rights and
Cheap Dollars.
Mr.. Danforth. the chairman of the
New York Democratic state committee.
has been In the south talking politics
with the party leaders. He reports that
"the south is apparently still for Bryan
and silver. They are against trusts,
against government by injunction, and
for all the other principles which Mr..
Bryan enunciates.
That is to say, the southern Demo-
Gratis are still for the payment Of the ex-
listing gold standard obligations Of the
government and Of private individuals
in "A cent dollars. They are still in ia
vor-as they were in ls6l-of the doc
trine that the national government can
not enforce it's own laws in state
against the wishes Of the governor OF
that state. They are still in favor of
reorganizing the supreme court so that
it will declare valid all laws congress
may pass, no matter how unconstitu-
tionai they may be.
In short, according to Mr.. Danforth,
1895. He adds, however, that the south
ern leaders are inclined to believe that
"the Chicago platform can be modified
so as to command the support of the
conservative business men, who,
through the lies invented by political
opponents and a misrepresentation of
the platform, declined to act with us in
1896"
Mr.. Danforth refrains from stating
either the possible notifications or the
alleged Misrepresentation. 1t would be
difficult for him to specify the latter.
The business men who refused to vote
for Bryan in 1896 did so because their
own unaided intelligence told them
what the free coinage of legal tender
silver dollars at the ratio of l6 to
meant, especially when those dollars
were to be used retroactively.
The business men saw without being
told that such use of cheap free silver
dollars meant the shrinkage in value to
the extent of one-half of their bank de-
posits and Of all their other credits,
whether mortgages, book debts or life
insurance policies. The business men
did not misunderstood either Bryan or
the Democratic platform.
What are the notifications TO be
made in the platform so that it may be
less offensive to the conservative busi-
ness men?" Is the demand that the free
coinage dollars shall be legal tender
for the payment Of existing gold stand
ard debts to be abandoned? Is the ra-
ito of 8 to / to be dropped and no ratio
TO be specified in the platform?
Bryan has declared himself opposed
to any modification of the Chicago plat
form. What are the changes which the
south. though "still for Bryan, is will
ing to make in order to get little more
northern support? Mr. Danforth's fail
ure to go into details justifies the as.
sumption that the southern Democrats
are not prepared TO make any real con-
cessions. They still want "A cent dol
lars TO be used in the payment of debts
due to northern creditors. - Chicago
