One of the noticeable features to
one who has visited the courts of law
is the manner in which different wit.
nesses take the oath that they will
tell 1.-THE truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth" in the cases
involved. Almost as striking is the
manner used by the clerks in admin.
istering the oath, with various de.
grees of sincerity. One clerk, who is
a church member, binds the witness
with a high degree OF seriousness,
while the less spiritual clerk rattles
of the words without any special
meaning. A witness day or two ago,
reports an Indianapolis exchange, was
greatly impressed with the solemnity
of the trial in which she was con.
cerned. To her the court was an or.
acle, and the lawyers unapproachable
dignitaries. She cast furtive glances
about the courtroom, in anxiety lest
she might overstep the rules. When
the judge told her to rise to receive
the oath her discomfort was com.
plete. She listened attentively to the
words of the clerk, and at the end of
the ceremony responded, with much
feeling: amen"

STICK TO THE OLD ISSUES.
Democrats win Make Their Fight
In 1900 ora the Chicago Plat
form of 1896.

There appears TO be quite general
feeling that the free and independent
coinage OF silver by the United States
nj the ratio of sixteen 10 one will not
be a leading issue in the next presi-
Dental campaign. There are indica-
tions that conservative democrats are
anxious to delegate silver 10 the rear
or 10 leave the ratio to democratic
congress 10 determine. In Pennsyl-
vania the democratic state convention
ignored the silver issue in favor of
state issues. In New York efforts are
being made by those who have been
party leaders to induce the state con-
vention to ignore the issue in the plat
form this year. There is decided If
silent element in all the central west
ern states which would have the party
enter the next presidential campaign
untrammeled by the siXteen-to-one de-
mand of the owners of silver mines.
But with all the opposition TO free
coinage at the old ratio and the very
general falling off of interest or the
part OF the people in the question,
present indications point to the max
ing of silver coinage at the ratio of
sixteen to one prominent issue in the
next campaign by the democrats.
Most of the democratic state conven-
tions have declared for the whole plat
form of Chicago and have indorsed Col.
Bryan as the democratic statesman to
be a standard bearer second time.
The ultra silver element is in control
of the party machinery in all the
states. In Illinois it was given out,
after the democratic state convention,
that Mayor Harrison. moderate sill
verite. had control of the state com
mittee, but when the committee was
organized ex-Gov. Altgeld was found
| to be in control as the most rabid
champion Of the silver platform. Elk.
Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, has made a
! pilgrimage to New York to inform the
democratic leaders in that state that
they will not be recognized as belong

unless they indorse the Chicago plat

There is every reason why the promi

issue of 1900. They caused their party

The range was five miles, and the huge
gun was fired four times. The first
shot fell astern, but covered the Colon
with water. The third dropped near

headed for the beach and struck her
