FORLORN
HOPE.

A recent issue OF the Saratoga Sun
contains the following article upon the
financial question. from the pen of
Editor ]. F. Crawford:
The democrats are felicitating them
selves greatly over the prospect that
the republican state convention is 60
ing to adopt a straight gold standard
platform at Douglas. They say we will
have to go all through the campaign
apoligizing for lot sticking to the Cas-
per free silver plank. That is just like
them. however. They have no idea of
ever changing. no matter how glar-
ingly they may be in error. They are
just like the nan who intended to
say the horse was sixteen hands high
and said sixteen feet high. When
his attention was called to mis- mistake
he replied: We'll. if | said sixteen
feet, I'll stick to it." That is a sample
or the consistency Of the democratic
party. They will go on repeating the
same old stale blunder and enunciating
the same old worn out and discarded
principle-just because they nave al
ways one so and cannot get out OF the
habit. No man is to be blamed for be-
ing ignorant. but he is to be blamed if
he won't learn. But the funniest thing
about the democratic charge of incon-
EiStanry on tho mart ~ tho roDI,J1icop
party. is thai they blame the republi-
cans for IN honest change OF opinion,
and an honest attempt to rectify an
error! Would any one but a demo-
crat attempt to make capital out OF
that? How often has the democracy
been forced to abandon some old bone
OF a principle. or loosen its hold OF
some fossi!ized ideas, the antithesis Of
which had been accepted and put in
practice years before? The pathway of
that party is strewn with wrecks in
which it was wont to travel, and in
which 1t vainly imagined it was the
leader OF the new world, while it was,
in reality, simply acting as a brake to
keep the wheels Of progress from
moving too rapidly. Let the republic
cans take hope. They will declare for
the gold acknowledgements they are in
earnest in their desire to do right.
Let anyone take comfort from that
who can. The people are not fools.
They like honesty and sincerity, and
they will commend it in the republican
party and support its nominees and
platform. The man who Is afraid to
endorse any right principle, simply be-
cause he is afraid some one will point
the finger of scorn al him, and say,
You have changed your mind. You
did not think that way last year." is a
coward, and not deserving of the
or esteem of any one.

English Channel by Captain Webb. ioung Webb was fair swimmer by the tune he was seven years old. He had reached twenty-eight when he at- tempted and performed his plucky feat HIS lrst attempt was failure, owing to ms having miscalculated the force of the tides, on which account he got nearly ten miles out of his course, and was forced to give up, after having been six hours and orty-eight minutes In the water, and having swum a dis tahce Of thirteen and a half miles. During his successful swim, most of which was accomplished by moonlight, ne drltted. at the most, eight and half miles out of his course to eastward, then two and half to west. He was Ill the water for twenty hours, and swan thirty-nine and a half miles. through all his long immersion Webb never seemed to have felt the cold, though, consequent on the eXertion he was taking, and the abnormal time he had to keep awake, he suffered greatly rom droWsiness. The swimmer landed several miles from Calais. yet, as sta- ted, not far out of his projected course. some French sailors were on the watch, ready to greet the plucky Englishman as soon as his task was done. One of them who helped to carry the exhausted swimmer up to his hotel declared that Webb's flesh when touched was exactly like a mass of cold tallow. w.-London Standard.

WHY?

Miss Helen Gould went down to Mon- tauk Point and she was so impressed by what she saw and heard there that she contributed $25,OOO for the relief of the sick and suffering soldiers and sail ors of the United States.
 Miss Gould's deed was noble one and it will stand to her credit on earth and in Heaven, but why should it be necessary for her to do 1t? Hasn't the government got departments, bureaus, divisions, etc., etc., whose duty it is to see that the sick and suffering soldiers and sailors are properly and even gen. erously cared for? Are not many lofty and well paid men ostensibly engaged in caring for them? Why should there be such lack of efficiency in these men as has been revealed? If the good wo- men who have come to the rescue of the sufferers can do what they have done, how is it that the lofty and we'll paid men couldn't do it? It actually begins to seem that if it were not so very unconstitutional some of the effi- cient women should have been appoint ed to office instead of the inefficient men.

The romantic girl will line her gown with surah, and she will pretend that she does so just because she likes silk lining and that she thinks it vulgar to take every one into your confidence about the lining of a gown. She will claim that the scrunch of taffeta does thus make every one a confidant, and then majority of women will roll up their noses and say, if not aloud, then to themselves, that half the fun of a silk lining is that every one shall know about it.
 For outside uses, taffeta is losing it's grip, especially as regards it's employ ment for entire dresses, waists or skirts. Trimming with it is yet all right, al- though distinctly not so desirable as it was but recently. As dress material it has been replaced by softer silken weaves. The artist presents here a dress that six months ago would have been best in taffeta, but she found it in crepe de chine. It was in a dark gray, it's full skirt trimmed with an apron overskirt of the same material, showing a rich embroidery in white silk. The blouse waist had yoke and narrow vest of shirred white mousse line, the edges of the crepe at either side showing small white embroidered scroll. The silk fronts, cut in one with the reyers, had a similar ornamentation and the shirred stock collar was finish ed with taffeta frills. Straps orna- mented with white taffeta buttons held down the tiny sleeve puffs.

EVEN THE PIC EONS MISMAN44GED.

As there seems to be a strong defence for everybody that has failed in duty or efficiency during the Yanko-S Spanko war perhaps 1t is no more than fair that a good word should be said for the car rier pigeons that didn't carry. Pigeon fanciers in Baltimore, who enthusiastic cally furnished the government with birds at the beginning of the war to test the value of doves as messengers from ships to shore, do not accept as conclusive the reported failure of the experiment. They charge that in some cases the birds placed on ships were killed and eaten or were used as tar gets. On other vessels, where the object in shipping the birds was not di- rectly perverted, the directions as to their care, the pigeon lovers say, were disregarded, except on very few ves- sells, including the Dixie. These direc- tions were that the birds should be lib- erated within two weeks, if possible; and should not be kept longer than three weeks, no matter if there was no occasion to use them as messengers. Many messages were received from the Dixie while she was two hundred miles at sea. Success was also reported from the cote at San Francisco, and from some places in the North on this coast. The failure of the birds on the Havana blockade where good work by them would have been a positive service, is explained in the statement that they were retained so long on board that their muscles and joints became stiffen- ed, and they were not able to stem the headwinds which they met. Doves, like athletes, need to be kept in training, the fanciers say.

The Street Noises.

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The plea from U. M. C." in your edi- tion of Wednesday voices the sentiment of all householders and taxpayers, viz, the nuisances of the peanut vendors and hand-organs. and ought to include those of the fruit peddlers, ragmen, bi- cylists who shriek, whistle most loud- ly, ring their bells unnecessarily, dis turbing the sick ones through the day and night. Is there no law against nuisances? I am taxpayer, and have been for years, and my ancestors before me. I have never known as many nui- sances as there are now. It seems as if the non-property owner had more priv ieges than the property owner. Can- not our councilmen at their meeting this evening do something to make our city more quiet, especially in residen- tial streets where women own homes and are without male protectors?

A PET FLORIDA CRANE.

He stands at one side by the hour,
 just pluming himself, then gently pick
 ing at shoe buttons and finger rings.
 Occasionally he is indulged in a favor
 ite pastime-that of taking the hair
 pins out of his mistresss hair
 In nature he is as gentle and affec-
 tionate as kitten, and as he'has never
 been leased he has no enmity for any,
 thing except a dog. One night he was
 attacked by strange dog, and since
 then his hatred for any canine other
 than the home dog is intense and as
 soon as his eagle eye detects a strange
 dog he gives a cry of alarm, and in the
 most quiet, sedate, but stately way walks out of range into some retired corner. He is more valuable than a watch dog, for at night should any strange object intrude on the premises, he quickly gives a warning in g. voice so loud and clangorous as to wake even the seven sleepers'' themselves.
 Dick has always been inordinately fond of his master, whom he makes every effort to please. It is at his com mand that he will dance, lowing and twirling in the most graceful manner; then circling with wings distended
 around the yard and back again to bow
 and courtsey as before. Another very pleasing recognition of his intelligence Is the manner in which he always welcomes his owner. He recognizes the horse and carriage as far as his eye can reach, and long before the bird is in view his voice is heard trumpeting a greeting, which is continued until the master reaches the gate when at the single command. Louder, Dick!" he throws his head back and gives forth long, gurling note, indicating joy and pleasure To no one else will he give this welcome. It is unique and peculiar flor his owner alone.-Forest and Stream.
