old Fashioned Jersey Winter.

The first specimen of a genuine old
fashioned Jersey winter was ushered in
on Monday with a snow storm. The
snow was of fine penetrating kind and
with the high wind that soon followed
made home fires seem more pleasant.
The temperature began to drop and since
Monday night it has averaged from three
below to seventeen above zero. The
fortunate possessors of sleighs and the
liverymen are happy over magnificent
sleighing afforded by the six inches of
snow. Ice is being harvested on the
ponds of good thickness and quality. At
sunrise this morning the thermometer
registered three degrees below zero at the
CHRONICLE Office.

can confron. "A nation, namely the right
of the people to legisla,e for them selves.
The Republican platform is the first
platform which ever declared in favor of
repeating the Declaration of Independ
ence. That platform expressly transfers
from America to Europe the right to de-
termine the financial policy of the United
States. According to that platform the
American people should seek interna
tional &C operation in restoring bimetal-
lism, but must maintain the gold stand
ard until that cooperation is secured
The Republican plan is to invite for
eign assistance, but while we may
invite foreign assistance, European
nations are at liberty to refuse
the invitation, and they have thus far
done so. The Republican platform, there
fore, means that we must have the gold
standard as long as European nations IA
vor the gold standard, and can have BIZ
metallism only when they consent to iU.
"Receut events have demonstrated that
Europe mas turned the money question
over to England, and England seems to
have turned it over to the English finan-
ciers, who, on the 22d of last September,
met Mt the clearing house, pledged them
selves tr secrecy, decided upon the gold
standard, and thus determined our fiuan-
cial policy as long as the Republican plan
prevails.

fore other questions can be reached. FL

power that controls the financial policy of
our Government on every other subject
whenever occasion arises for the exercise
of that control. Suppose, for instance,
that the money question were dropped
and the fight agair st the trusts made the
main issue. Much foreign capital is in
vested in trusts, and foreign financiers
could announce that any legislation hos
tile to trusts would be followed by the
withdrawal OF foreign capital and
panic. If they eau threaten the with
drawal OF foreign capital to prevent
change of our financial policy, they can
threaten such Withdrawal 10 prevent the
annihiidtion of trusts or the regulation
OF other corporations. Not only can this
threat be made in regard to our don este
policy, but it can be made to prevent tie
adoption of any foreign policy which does
not meet with favor in Europe. We can
not protect the rights of our citizens,
avenge an insult to the flag, enforce the
Monroe doctrine. or express our sympa-
thy with those who are struggling to be
free If we are to he deferred by the threats
of foreign investors. The right to legis-

Texas Platinum Discovery.

Expert miuers of California, recently
bought 800 ares of land in Jack coun-
~, near Jacksboro, Tex. They have
sunk 11O-foot shaft and found numer-
GUS samples of platinum at a depth OF
so feet from the surface, which con-
tinues in layers to the bottom IF the
shaft. Small quantities of both gold
and silver were also found. Nuggets
of platinum as large as a pea were
found, and as the metal is three times
as valuable as god, on account of it's
lndisuensability to certain electrical
appliances and other scientific uses,
the great value of the find may be
seen. The men propose to push the
development of the mine and will at
once put in machinery and crushers to
facilitate the work. They are guard
ing their property and no one is per-
mitted to 90 into the mine.

A Mysterious Performance,

DR.. Cook gave his spiritualistic per-
forrnanca "a the opera house last night
before a fair sized audience. His work
was p9rfecs in every respect and COM
pletely mystitied all present, even the
committee of gentlemen on the stage
with him. Messrs. Beall, VIM, Pitt
man and COnnOrs were the committee
and they worked every scheme to fpd
out how the mysteries were brought
about. His first act was the writing of
me sage on a slate, by John Brown,
of Harper's Ferry fame. The two
states were placed together a piece of
chalk placed between them and they
were then tied firmly together. In .
minute the states were separated and
the message was there with the chalk
at the end of the last word. His ca
binet work was extraordinary and
quick. He closed himself in the cabi-
net and in few seconds the cabinet
was opened and ne was firmly tied. He
did all kind of things throwing bells
aud tam borines all over the stage, but
when the cabinet was op .ned he was
still firmly tied. Park Pittman then
went into the cabinet with him and
sat with his back towards DIR. Cook
The cabinet was closed and in q second
reopened, DR.. Cook had Mr.. Pittman g
coat on though he was still tied hand
and feet and every knot sealed. The
coat was then sewed on DR. Cook, and
the cabinet closed and in a few seconds
the coat was thrown over the top
of the cabinet still sewed
together Many such mysteries as this
were performed, and even though the
HERALD had a representative in the
borders above the cabinet, without the
knowledge Of Dr. Cook, the mysteries
remained unsolved, as the party over
but could not tell whose hands they
were.
The last tick was the moving table
act: All the committee got around the
table wi b DR.. Cock and tried to hold
the table to the floor, but did not sue
ceed as the table moved all over the
stage in every direction at will and
pulled the committee with it, although
several of the parties put their whole
weight on it to try and hold it down.
ThH performance was complete mys-
terry.
