WHAT Mr.. BoNAPARTE SAID.

Mr. Charles J. BOnaparte, a dlstln-
guished citizen of Baltimore, recently
Iectured in Boston, and in the course of
his remarks ne referred to lynching
and seemed to justify il. His remarks
were taken up and commented on by
various papers and he was generally
condemned; now he thinks he was
misrepresented. and that what he said
did not warrant the structures passed
upon him. Thinking this way, and
hoping to correct a wrong impression,
he sent a verbatim copy of his ad-
dress to the Baltimore News. The part
referring to lynching is as follows:
Judge Lynch may make mistakes,
and his mistakes can be corrected by
no writ of error. but if the number of
failures of justice in his court could
be compared with those in our more
regular tribunals l am not sure that
he need fear the result. l believe that
very few innocent men are lynched,
and Of those who have not committed
the particular offence for which they
suffer a still smaller proportion are
desirable members of society. A few

the operation of trusts" than they can
ind it convenient to tell, hanging IN
tried to lamD-posts would not be a
wholly edifying spectacle; but it would
have a more wholesome effect on pub
lie officials than a long series of
quashed indictments. disagraelng ju-
ries. forfeited straw recognizances,
and varying phases of legal impunity
for prosperous scoundrelism.
If that is not a defense of lynching,
what is it? He says that Judge Lynch
may make mistakes" The only infer
ence to be drawn from that statement
is that while he may make some mis-
takes. they are few, and that his gen
eral work is to be commended. Then
Mr.. Bonaparte says that if the fail
ures of justice in Judge Lynch's court
could be compared with those in our
more regular tribunals he is not sure
that Judge Lynch need fear the re-
suit.
Mr. Bonaparte's remarks convict him
of having justified lynching.

THE STONE THAT WAS RE-
JECTED.

The house refused to adopt the Tel
Ter resolution by a vote of 1872 to 1S2.
This result was expected and is no
surprise. Debate was so limited that
nothing OF special interest occurred.
Chairman Dingley, the leader of the
house. declared that the last clause of
the resolution was equivalent to dec
laration in favor of free silver. He
was right in his assumption, We think,
though there is some ambiguity in the
language Speaker Reed was anxious
to have his vote recorded against the
resolution, and it was accordingly so
recorded. The vote was practically on
party lines. and it should be so.
The Republicans having an over
whelming majority in the house, it is
much to be regretted that they did not
make the vote on the resolution the
occasion to declare in terms for the
single gold standard. Such a declara-
ton would have been but an official
affirmation of the party's position on
the financial question and would have
completely supplemented the presi-
dents speech at the banquet of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
There can no longer be any doubt as
to what will be the issue in the con-
gressional elections this fall-it will be
bimetallism against the single gold
standard: and it is as clearly defined
now as it will be when the party plat
forms are promulgated.
The Republican house of representa-
tives has rejected the Teller resolu-
ton; it viii yet prove to be the stone
that was rejected

poured the drink out into a glass, drank
it and started for the door.

PA TRIES HIS SKATES.

There was excitmeRt in the crowd,
When na put on his skates.
Folks hardly dared TO speak aloud.
He looked so naughty and so proud,
But all much interest avowed,
When pa put on his skates.
A hush fell on the nightly throng,
When pa put on his skates.
He was so cool. so nOnchalant
No one could fear n cOntretemps
To see his graceful abandon.
When pa put on his skates.
But ah, me, what fall was there.
When pa first tried to skate,
With one wild swoop of fierce despair.
He sat down where there was no chair,
And both his legs waved in the air,
When pa first tried TO skate,
Then everybody looked away,
While pa took off his skates.
The sun stopped shining for that day,
The sky grew overcast and gray,
For pa said things unfit to say,
While he took off his skates.

In his New York speech the president
said: This is our plain duty to more
than 100000 voters, who, fifteen
months ago, won a great political battle
on the issue, among others, that the
United States government would not
permit doubt to exist anywhere con-
corning the stability and integrity of its
currency or the inviolability of its obli-
cations of every kind. That is my in
depreciation of that victory. Whatever
effort, therefore, is required to make the
settlement of this vital question clear
and conclusive for all time, we are
bound in good conscience to undertake,
and, if possible, realize. That is our

That is not honest. The government
never has issued gold bonds; they are
coin bonds. those of 1893 as well as
others. Moreover. when Mr. Cleveland
told Secretary Carlisle to sell bonds,
he urged congress to authorize them to
be made gold bonds In his special
message to congress on the subject, he
said that more than $4,000, coo would
be saved to the government if gold
bends bearing per cent interest were
authorized to be substituted for those
mentioned in the contract. The Morgan
syndicate took this extra SIC, 600, be-
cause it could not get gold bonds; and
all who bought bonds of the syndicate
knew about what had been done. 1t

advocates to be honest in any of their
statements about the financial Ques-
