An Ahsurl Alliance.

The more or less substantial organi-
zations known as the democratic, popu-
listic and silver republican parties have
broken out again. This time Il breach
of the peace is in the form of addresses
published by the national committees
of the parties. The address might as
well have been prepared in triplicate,
for the burden of the song is the same
in each case, and there is little differ
cnce in the notes. There are three
mouths, but one voice. The parties
mentioned are rccommitted to the
craze which submerged them from
sight at the last general election
Ephraim is joined to his idols, and they
are made OF silver of a dcbascd quality
and low market value. This bourbon
ism. that learns nothing and forgets
nothing, is characteristic of the party
that for years after the war ended OPP
posed the measures of reconstruction,
as it had opposed the suppression of re-
bellion and, before that. the abolition
of human slavery The resurrection of
the free silver absurdity, with its
triple mouth. is such puerile reitera-
tion that the joint silver republican,
populistic and democratic elements de-
serve to be called the Silly Repopocrats.

tion by the Spanish government in the
blowing up of the Maine was practically
eliminated, in his judgment. This last
remark was speedily given wide cireula-
tion apart from the quieting references
which had accompanied it. 1t i'm
mediately started much comment and
discussion. and when Mr.. Long returned
to the navy department after lunch he
found that what he had intended to
convey was being given the force of an
official declaration that Spain's respon-
sibility for the disaster had been
eliminated. In order to make clear his
meaning. as personal expression of
opinion. Mr.. Long dictated the following
statement:
The main things we talked about In
cabinet were the outrages on postmasters.

colored man in South Carolina.
In regard to the Cuban situation. I said
! thought things were growing Quie;er
every day and as far as my judgment went
i was inclined to think that any official par
ticipation on the part of the Spanish gov
ernment in the disaster was now pra ctical-
ly eliminated"
Aside from this incident the day
brought forth few Developments of i'm
portance relating 10 the Maine. No dis
patches of any character from Key
West, where the court of inquiry is sit
ting, were given out during the day, and
as the rule of publicity is still in force
presumably nothing came from that
quarter. The Vessel movements an.
pounced during the day were devoid of
Significance.
While activity continues in the navy
yards, there is display of war spirit
in all sections of the country. Among
others offering their services in case of
q conflict with Spain are the coal min
ers of the Pittsburgh district.
Nothing New In known.
Key West, Fla, March 2.-The second
days sessions of the court of inquiry
are over, and nothing new is known re-
garding the fate of the Maine, at all
events outside the members of the
court. Some who confidently declared
a week ago that the court had already
found that the vessel was Intentionally

There can be no doubt of the attitude
of the republican party on the PROPOSE
ton to pay the obligations of the nation
in deprecated currency. Not only did
the republicans in the senate vote
against the proposition, but the repub-
lican house made short work of the
measure, rejecting it by majority of
so with the promptness which empha-
sized the vigorous disapprobation
which republicans of that body exer-
cised with reference to this proposition.
In addition to this, the president him
self took occasion to express his disap-
proval of the measure in his New York
speech, saying: Nothing should ever
tempt us-nothing will ever tempt us
to scale down the debt of the nation
through legal technicality. What
ever may be the language of the con-
tract. the United States will discharge
all of it's obligations in the currency
recognized as the best throughout the
world at the times of payment. Nor
will wc ever consent that the wages of
labor or it's frugal savings shall be
scaled down by permitting payment in
dollars of less value than the dol
lars accepted as the best in etery
enlightened nation of the earth."-Cin.

blown up have modified this conviction
and, for the most part, admit that such
reports must have been based largely
on speculation. Even naval officers are
apparently as much in the dark as the
civilians as to what the courts opinion
is at the present moment. Excellent
progress has been made in the examina-
tions, and the court will probabl finish
it's work here to-day, when its members
will be taken back to Havana en- the

Funeral Plans.
Admiral Sicard has requested DIR. NAL
loney, the mayor of Key West, to pre-
vent local demonstration when the
funeral of the Names dead occurs. He
has asked that in the event of parade
being formed by the residents only
American flags shall be displayed.
Mayor Malloney has promised to carry
out Admiral Sicard's wishes as far as
possible, but doubts whether the strong
Cuban and anti-Spanish sentiment can
be suppressed. All of the funeral ar
rangcments will be under the direction
of Commander Mccall, of the Marble
head. AS now planned, small details
Of marines will be landed from the YES
sells here and at the Tortugas, and the

GERMAN analysis say that the apple
contains larger proportion of phos-
phorous than any other fruit or vege-
table adapted for renewing the essen
tial nervous matter of the brain and
spinal cord. Scandinavian traditions
represent the apple as the food of the
gods, who when they felt themselves
growing old and feeble, resortcd to
this fruit for renewing their powers of
mind and body. A modern maxim
teaches us Ito cat an apple before GO

Dcscrting the FnIIacy.

The Wyoming republicans, who have
long tried to be republicans and free
silverites too, have given up the effort
to continue to be of two minds on one
question, and at u late meeting of their
state committee it was decided that the
party organization should come out
fairly and squarcly for the gold stand
ard in the coming campaign. Free sill
yer will be left where it belongs, with
the Bryanites. This action marks
decided change in public opinion in
what is silver mining camp state, for
it has been the custom for years fo1
the Wyoming republicans to indors
free coinage of silver as "a local issue.
Either the Wyoming republicans have
not heard from Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas that the gold standard has worked
such hardship on the toiling millions
that the lives of our people are made
bitter with bondage" or else they have
heard it and do not believe it. Senator
Jone will find other people than those
of Wyoming equally disinclined to ac-
cept his assertion that the inhabitants
of the United States are in such state
or suffering lnat rclleI can De ODtalncd
only by overthrowing the gold stand
ard. Nor will Senator Jones find it an
easy task to demonstrate his PROPOSE
ton that "the crime of 1873" was a
"cruel confscation of the lives and lib
erty of the laboring millions of this
country" The people heard all about
the crime of 1873 from Mr.. Bryan in
1896, and then went and elected Mr.. Nc

THERE has been considerable discus
sion as to the proper pronunciation Of
Vizcaya. Captain Eulate-pronuonced
"Ay-oo-lah-tay," with the first two
syllables run together little, the
third accented and the fourth very
short-pronounces his ships name
ith-kye-ah," or as near that as an
English tongue can get it. The sec
ond syllable rhymes with rye" and is
really two syllables, but the two VOW

CONSIDERING that the United States
army now numbers only 26.955 officers
and enlisted men, the addition of two
new regiments of artillery is consid-
cradle one. At present there are five
artillery regiments, with 292 officers
and 500 men, SO that the proposed adj
dition will increase that branch of the
service 40 per cent. The increase is
made necessary By the large increase in
the number of batteries for coast de-
fense already made or about to be
made, which have to be manned.

freshments were served aud the en-
tertainment lasted until midnight.
Taken altogether. it was a most sue
cessful affair.
1t was decided during the meeting
to try and have the Grand Encamp-
ment he'll at Florence next year.
AS it will bring two or three thou
sand visitors to town for three days,
it is to be hoped that it will be ac-
complished. Florence Tribune.

Passers to and from the Soda

and commented on the decorations
and other preparations that were
being made ON Warden Gleghorn's
lawn. But no flight of the imagiaa-
tion could have pictured the rare en-
tertainment that Mrs, Cleghorn had
prepared for the ninety guests who
assembled beneath the trees in the
evening. The natural beauty of the
fruited branches greatly auxiliariated
by rich decorations and electric illu-
limitations, but added to the scene of
gaiety below, and the most heavily
laden tree was not fuller than the
souls of the pleasure-seekers. The
novel program which was designed and
executed in colors by an artist Of no
mean ability announced the affair to
be "Fete Champetre, sociale ct

A platform for the occasion accom-
modated those inclined to engage in
dancing and the orchestra and glee
club from the Chateau de Canon"
furnished delightful vocal and instru-
mental music. The program consist
ed of twelve dances, one vocal quar-
tette, two duets, three solos and one
recitation, the recitation being par
ticularly well rendered by Mrs. Cleg-
horns sister Miss Grace Lamereaux.
At the close of the program ice cream
and cake were served, with lemonade
as the beverage.
An unique and original device was
the imitation of an old-fashionad well
with pole and bucket, from which the
lemonade was drawn as served, lend
ing enchantment to the scene. Many
other novel features were observed,

application, which go far in CHASING
