WASHINGTON
LETTER.

-
From our Warrington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Jan. "a. 1897,
How can a president who is an
honest and conscientions bimetallist
keep a Secretary Of the Treasury
In his cabinet who is 80 welded to
the gold standard as to endorse the
statement that bimetallism-a dou-
bic standards an impossibilityl
That was the questioH asked in the
minds OF many when SECRETARY
Gage, sitting beside the chairman
of the House Committee on Bank
ing and currency, endorsed that
statement made by ex Senator Ed
mppds, president Of the so-called
monetary conference, and believed
to be the paid attorney Of the gold
ring, who appeared before that COM
mittee in behalf Of the gold stan
dard bill prepared by the Commits
sion. The question would probably
not have been asked had not Sena-
tor Chandler just previously stated
that he had McKinley's own word
that for II that he was in favor of
bimetallism, and to clinch his
statement added: Mckinley is as
good a bimetallist as l san." II
that is true, Senator Chandier can
hardly be q good bimetallist, not
withstanding his constant claims to
be such. Senator Chandler at the
same time said that Mckinley told
him that the International bimetal-
lism fake was not dead. and that
he intended ta sepd the commission
to Europe again. A considerable
number of voters were probably fool
ed in the presidential campaign by
that international bimetallism
plank of the republican platform,
bit Mckinley must have lost much
Of the POLITICAL shrewAnsss with
which he has been credited ifhe be-
lievea il can be used to fool them
again.
So far as they can be seen. the
results Of the first weeks consider
alton Of the Hawaiian treaty by the
Senate are not satisfsctory to the
advocates Of annexation. Last

Girls STOPPING.

Many growing girls, especially those
tall for their age, are inclined to stoop
and we'll meaning persons often advo-
cate the use of braces or shoulder straps
as a means of correcting the tendency.
The braces may force an upright car
riage, but they do not give the wearer
any means Of maintaining it, since they
prevent the exercise Of those muscles
which should be trained to produce an
erect figure Any exercise which
strengthens the muscles of the back and
shoulders will aid in correcting this de-
feet. Old fashioned mothers used to
drill their STOPPING daughters to. walk
with a plate carried on their heads. and
this is really good practice. High pill
lows and very soft mattresses are blamed
as an aid i'll producing this defect, and
without doubt fiat. rather hard bed.
with low pillow, is prefera BILE for grow
ing children. A stopping, awkward
walk detracts SO much from the appear
ance that there is every reason to avoid
it, apart from the bad effect it exercises
on the physical condition. New York

The men who come back from San
siago tell great stories and, sad to say,
make very serious complaints of mis-
management and neglect in that cam
paign. They knew what it really meant
when food was wanting. They saw what
were the results Of confusion, unavoid-
able perhaps, In the quartermaster' and
medical departments and Of the dearth
of all means to make the wounded COM
Portable. They know who did well, and
they think they know who did badly,
and most Of them do not hesitate to ex-
press their opinions and beliefs. They
are generous in commentator as we'll
as free with censure. One person whom
many Of them, especially many of the
wounded, remember and speak Of is
Miss Barton. 1T tell you" said re-
turned newspaper correspondent, "that
old girl knows her business. The way
she took hold was beautiful. When she
turned to after Siboney and made Cruel

have saved many lives. Bacon and

wounded men or even for fever pa
