Washington, Feb. Ex-senator James

with Mr.. Croker of New York and Mr..
Wall of Wisconsin regarding the para
mount issue In the next presidential
campaign. He said to-day: "To say
that the next democratic national con-
vention will reaffirm the position taken
by the convention in 1896 is to assert
what every candid man, even slightly
familiar with existing facts, knows to
be true. 1t is as certain as anything
human can be that the question Of
bimetallism will be the leading issue in
the campaign next year"

cal terms. and in the same manner and
in the same lines that it did in 1885,

married under the age Of p. and so were
227 out OF every 100 woman. The boy

widowers and widows respectively. Things
have changed since then. there were but
ninety-eight widowers and sixty-nine Wild

widower, by the way. is obviously more
dangerous TO the susceptible heart OF the
opposite sex than the widow. 1t is to be
noted, however that when the widow Sc

a man nearly two years her junior; when
she chooses a widowef her husband is
