FIRM FRIENDS OF SOUND MONEY.

Among those who voted against the
Teller resolution in the United States
Senate, Thursday, was Senator Gallery
OF Louisiana. Like some other Sem.
tors, he is harrasaed by constituency
largely free silver in sentiment, hut
Senator Gallery holds principle and
conscience above party expediency, and
votes accordingly. In the course OF
the debate on the Teller resolution, on
Wednesday, among other things he
said:
am in very good company, Mr..
President. i stand with Lamar, with
Hill, and with Bayard. all OF whom
voted against the resolution in 1878,
anu. sir. u l stood alone, without one
single, solitary supporter, should fol-
low the light OF my conscience and un-
derstanding in this matter. | do not
believe that question Of this kind ia
one OF q political character. do not
believe that party conventions and party
platforms can alter the laws which
govern standards Of value, which | be.
lleve to be as accurate and as parfect
and as regular in their operation as
the physical laws that govern the uni
verse;
81 do not believe that any party plat.
form can undertake to bind the judg-
ment OF man to what ia q financial
folly or financial crime. Therefore il
is, sir, that do not propose to be con.
trolled in any action that l may take
on this matter hy what platforms have
announced or political conventions may
have declared. Neither am going
into the history Of this matter to find
out whether some Senator at some time
or other did not express opinions in
consistsst with his attitude to-day.
| am going to govern myself in regard
to this question az il appears TO INV
Understanding and to my conscience.
\
"The fight is on. The issues are
joined, and have enlisted for the war
and the cause of sound money, and no
political platform and no party whip
or lash will have the slightest effect in
governing or controlling my conduct or
my vote in this matter"
Mr.. Gallery then quoted from speech
by Hon. Thomas i. Bayard against
the Stanley Matthews silver resolution
OF 1878. On that occasion Mr.. Bayard
said:
"This resolution belongs to deciara-
tory class of acts. Declsratory legisIa-
tion is never to be favored, and ia to be
regarded as rather vicious in its char
acter, in that il tends to trench upon
tho prerogative of the judicial branch
for, while the Legislative branch have
the power to use what words they please
in framing an act, il is not their duty
to pass upon the meaning of that which
they have framed.'
Mr.. Bayard then followed with an
elaborate argument upon the evil re.
suits that would follow adopting reao-
luton of the character proposed by
Senator Matthews.
These men are the friends of sound
money and currency reform. They are
the real friends of the peoples best in.

At tia recent meeting of the National
Reform Divorce League, in Boston, il
was shown that improved marriage
laws have been secured 10 a number Of
Staten. Indiana designates the classes
of persons who may celebrate marriages.
Missouri requires that all such parsons
shall be citizens of the Quilted States.
Probate Courts in Michigan may now
issue marriage licenses privately to
protect the good name of women. Okla.
homa has repealed her former loose
marriage law, and enacted a new one.
Reform in New Jersey, where the old
loose law of marriage without proper
license led to great abuses, has 10 part
succeeded. Connecticut has also in
creased the efficiency OF her registration
law. California has granted to certain
religious denominations the privilege OF
marriage according to their rites with
out previous license; hut such marriages
must be acknowledged to the OWL
authorities.

II is such LOYALTY that incitc' the painter 10
do better pictures, the writer to do better
work AMI the actor to play bis part bette.
y Is thl5 feeling that is going 20 make the
night in art triuuiph over the wrong,
ron laugh about there being any right or
Nrorg In the PLAYHOUSE. Why, look At the
right and wrong actions merely rin0ns the
aGdierce' There are SO many things that
nothing will excuse. Nothing oEcu-cs a
loud criticism uf the play, especially an uli-
pheasant one. II IS true that you may have
pad your money, but You can take your
choice, and if You do not like the play yon
can 70 home.
Nothing excuses the overwhelming Of
delicate woman with a strong perfume of
cigarettes and possibly Of something else.
You have per'cct right to smoke and drink
Whatever ynl desire, but not IL minutes
before entering tue theatre.
Nothing excuses the incommodiug Of
one neighbor with big cloak and trouble
some hat and nothing except news of a
sudden death or illness excuses the going
out between the acts
Nothing excuses the quoting In loud
voice your acquaintance with an actor.
Ihe world at large doesn't care who you
self.
Nothing excuses loud yelling for the
author or manager or pounding with UNI
brellas or sticks. Applause, properly given
j. due to the artist, but that should be
limited to the usual quiet bringing together
of the hands
Nothing excuses unglnYcd hands, yelled
faces, untidy toilets or bad manners at the
theatre, for unless YOU know Just huw yoli
should look ana just what You should do,
nome Is the best place for you until Won
rave learned the various "don'ts" of social
HE You think | am hvpocritical No,
AM very forgiying, but know how hard the
actor works | know how eager is tho play
writer to have every word properly under
stood ana how a badly-behaved audience
can make the actors work good for nothing
and the writer's worGs seem Us nuught.
Therefore ! never excuse bad manners at
the theatre. They are counted among the
linpardonable sins on the very short list Of
things unfcrgiyen by Eab.
