There will he no turning back. The
platform will be added to as new condi-

arbitration is stronger to-day than it was

Republicans would adopt as strong an
antitrust plank as. we. because no party
would dare to defend the trusts. In such
a fight the trust magnates would he found
supporting both parties and contributing
literally to both campaign funds. provid-
ed the trusts were guaranteed the priv
lege of naming the Attorney General and
the judges. The trusts opposed the Dem
ocratic party in 1896 because the Chicago
convention took the party out of the
hands of the Wall street crowd. and
adopted a platform which precipitated the
plutocracy which the party had held in
solution for several years. The gold
Democrats had chance to crush out the
trusts during Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration. but they did not do it. The gold
Republicans are having their opportunity
now, but they are not improving it. The
trusts will fall when the gold standard is
overthrown and not until then. The gold
standard means falling prices, and falling
prices will create trusts more rapidly than
any gold standard party can destroy them.

Surprise for the Admiral Mt Dinner
Saturday Evening.

The New York World of yesterday says:
A very pretty compliment, paid by tune
full sailormen, who have proved themselves
fighters. too, delighted Admiral and Mrs
Dewey last evening.
NJ NahfuocO, their leader, gathered the
members Of Olympia's old band and led
them to the WalJorf-Astoria. The band
master asked Manager Boldts permission
to serrnade the admiral Mr.. Boldt was not
sure that certain events of the day had not
ruiIled Dewey's amiable temper, so he asked
Mrs. Dewey If she thought her husband
would approve OF the serenade
1t VIII delight him immensely" she ex-
claimed.
stealthily placed in room next to the add
miraIs suite md Just Dewey and his
wife sat down TO dinner the Dand, con-
cealed, began 10 play a favOrite march of
Dewey :, one Of Wagners, The Double
EaSic."
After dinner the admiral took in his hum
bic comrades and introduced them Ito the
most charming woman in the world" The
distinguished honor and Mrs. Deweys gra-
cIpUsncSS. overwhelmed them, and the mu-
Sicidns were awkward enough. But the
band leader was as polite as a French
dancing master. Introducing the little Ital-
IAN TO Mrs. Dewey, the admiral laughingly
said:
"Deary, Valifuoco was with me in the
battle. But / must say he was pretty badly
scared; had to pat him on the back two
or three times
Smiling. Mrs. Dewey thanked the leader
and all for the charming surprise" To
dIlfuOcO she gave u small bronze medal
| lion OF Dewey. of which the bandmaster
was almost ridiCulOusly proud To each
musician she gave a little bunch of violets
which, II is safe to prophesy. will be pressed
and handed down to musicians of the fu-
ture.
The admiral was much better pleased in
the evening than in the morning. If pa
triotic. but rather rude, people do not re-
strain their admirng enthusiasm they will
hurry the admiral and his wife from New
York They walked down 9TH avenue In the
morning. and very many people followed
them. This was annoying enough. But at
18th street and Union Square the crowd
surrounded them.
Murray for Dewey and Mrs Dewey"
shouted the men. The women shrilly Joined
and pushed forward to get a good look at
the bride. for every woman dearly loves
bride. and to criticise her.
Please don't please don'tr exclaimed
the admiral. who had grown weary of po-
H;ely acknowledging less effusive saluta-'
tons. Let pass. if you please"
Some of the men made II to raise
Dewey to their shoulders. He and his wife
escaped into Tffranys. Mr.. Tiffany, learn
ing of their plight, called cab, and they
were driven to the Waldorf-Astoria.
In the early afternoon they received
few intimate friends; one. Col. Franklin
Bartlett. Later they walked up 9TH avenue
( with ali escort on the other side of the
street and a parade behind them. Again
the women were particularly curious, and
any one of them could tell you now Just
how Mrs. Dewey's MORE antique dress was
/ trimmed and what kind of headgear she
1 wore.

and many are the quaint and ridiculous
ceremonies the present holders have to
perform ofttimes In order to preserve the
right to their titles.
For instance, the office of royal champion
Is held by the Dymokes Of Scrivelsbv court

owner OF the manor failed to appear either
IN person or by deputy, as champion at the
coronation banquet the ScriVelsbv estate
would be forfeit to the crown.
FOR 500 years representative from Scriv-
elsby court never failed to perform this
duty even though in 1892 the manor passed
INTO the hands Of the Dymokes, who have
held it since.
Attired in complete armor with lance at

1t may surprise many to know that her
