appointments to the senate to-
morrow, but withhold the nominations
until the senatorial fight Is over. This
would have kept Mr.. Martin In office as

BRYaNARCHY PROFESSIONS.

= OLONEL BRYAN, having recovered from
| military lockJaw, is using his submaxlary free
- dom in keeping himself in the public The
small band of third-rate politicians who promoted his
candidacy in 1896, and whose nostrs shifted the
odors OF the political feshpots which stewing
and bubbling in the mirage of that year of Dreams
rainbows and illusions, still at it. Ex-Governor
Stone OF Missouri is the leader OF these apostles and
though it is suspected that Bryan was originally an
acquired taste with him. it is now habit con-
frmed as smoking in Filipino. Stone counts on
silver Republicans and Populists to pull Bryan
through and announces that there no room at any
dollar dinner for gold Democrat, and that such
shall not even have access to the crumbs when the
tablecloth is shaken 1t is expected that those who
used to be Democrats will be kept in the panorama
by eating dollar dinners dedicated to Jefferson
Nh Jefferson has been long time dead and has
not even an administrator to defend him. Under the
newspaper signature law OF California penalty could
be collected for ascribng to him the financial ideas
OF Colonel Bryan unless the article signed by
the writer and confessed be deamatory OF the dead
and defenseless.
In his Notes on the Establishment of Money
Unit and OF Coinage for the United States Works
of Jefferson pages I62I7 he says: The proportion
between the values of gold and silver mercantile
problem altogether. The legal proportion in Spain
is 10 to IN England I5H to I, IN France IS to 1.
Just principles will lead to disregard legal ratios
altogether and to inquire into the market price of
gold in the several countries with which we shall be
principally connected in commerce and to take an
average from them. 1t is not impossible that IS to
may be found eligible ratio. | state it, however,
as a conjecture only" On page 40 he proposed
that Congress instruct the Committee of the States
TO appoint proper persons to inquire what are the
proportions between the values of fine gold and fine
silver in the markets of the several countries with
which are, or probably may be- connected in COM
merce and what would be "a proper ratio here, hav-
ing regard to the average OF their value at those mar
kets and to other circumstances and to report the
to the committee, by them to be laid before
Congress"
In 1892 he wrote to Hamilton, approving his ''re-
port on the establishment OF mint what ought to be
the nature OF the money unit of the United States
and what the ratio between gold and silver if coins
Of both metals to be established" (See Hamil-
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-05-17

tons Works, volume 8, pages I4o-IS8) Hamilton
conclusion was: THAT in establishing ratio be-
tween the metals, the or average ratio in what
may be called the commercial world is the proper one.
There hardly be better rule in any country for
the legal than the market ratio, if this can be sup
posed to have been produced by the full and steady
course of commercial principles. The presumption in
such case is that each metal finds its true level
ordlng to its intrinsic utility the general system
OF money operations" OF this Jefferson says in his
letter to Hamilton: II return your report on the
mint, which | have read over with a great deal Of
satisfaction. concur with you in thinking that the
mint must stand both metals and also in the ratio
you establish between the two metals
In another place (volume I, page I71) Jefferson
says Il would still incline to give little more than
the market price for gold because Of its superior con-
venlence in transportation
Just how these views OF Jefferson are to be recon
c1led with the financial planks of the Chicago plat
form remains for Colonel Bryan to say One thing
is clear however that the boilers of 1896 the gold
Democrats who stood the Indianapolis PLATFORM
are still the representatives of the financial principles
OF Jefferson And it is equally clear that the silver
Republicans do not represent the principles of Haml
ton, to whom may be finally traced the political
philosophy of the Republican party.
1t is difficult to reconcile the dol1ar-apate dinner
declarations of fidelity to the principles OF Jefferson
with the honesty of those who make them provided
they have ever read Jeffersons views.

LYMPIA'S DOCTOR
Is A BENEDICT
Nuptials of Miss Mamie
Burling and DR..
PAGE. u. s. N.

Standing in bower of evergreens. Miss
Mamie Burling and DIR. Page pIighted
their troth The ceremony was performed
at o'clock last evening, Father Varsi. a
lifelong friend of the fair, bride, officiating.
Only the immediate friends of the young
couple witnessed the union Miss Hazel
King officiated as maid of honor and the
Misses Lolita and Norma Burling, the
little nieces of the bride, acted as brides
maids.
DR.. Victor c. B. Means, U. S. N, was
best man and Burling Tucker, DR.. Philip
Brown, Louis Bruguiere and Frank King
the ribbon bearers.
The home of the bride at 2020 Buchanan
street was bright with many flowers, that
mingled their splendid foliage with the
stars and stripes. The decoration of the
home was the work of a few of the many
devoted friends of the popular bride. The
bride of the gallant doctor of the Olympia
is the daughter of the late William Bur-
ling, whose name is prominently identi-
fed with the early history of the State.
In the select circle in which Miss Burling
moved she has been an acknowledged
belle, captivating and holding her many
admirers by her charming manners, at
tractive personality and rare tact. The
happy doctor is the son of a prominent
Southern family, and was with Dewey
during the Manila Bay naval achieve
mentS.
The gown of the bride was a marvel of
the dressmaker's art. 1t was of white
satin. made en- train and trimmed with
deep f1ounces of point lace that had orna-
mented the bridal gown of her mother.
Miss King wore an exquisite gown of
white null over pink silk. Miss Lolita
Buring was attired in frock of white
silk, trimmed with pink roses, and Miss
Norma Burling wore white organdie,
trimmed with pink roses.
DR.. and Mrs Page leave this afternoon
for Washington, where the doctor goes to
II hos ORG nj ted G nC a
leave for three years, and hopes to be
stationed here
