r HREE days ago the democratic
party of Ohio held it's state
convention, made it's declara-
tion of principles and named it's candi-
dates.
Ohio is usually looked upon as very
conservative state. 1t is wealthy and
populous. 1t is the home of Hanna and
Mckinley, and at this time it may be
fairly considered the most important
politically, of any state in the union
Such being the case, the action of the
democratic party there was naturally
awaited with much interest and per-
haps a little of anxiety. Would it
stand firmly upon the principles of the
Chicago platform, or would it waver
and assume a doubtful position?
To one who in sincerity believes
in democratic principles as enuncated
by the last national convention of the
party. the action of the Ohio conven-
ton was all that could be desired. Its
declaration upon the money question
was strong. clear and emphatic. 1t
lays especial stress upon the demand
for the unrestricted coinage of silver
at the ratio of sixteen to one, and
this without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation. Not only
does it make silver an ISSUE" but it
is made the paramount issue" accord
ing to every just and reasonable inter-
probation of platforms. 1t is needless
to say that the Montana democrats
are well satisfied with the action of
their Ohio brethren.
But there are others who are not,
and who were not expected to be- al
though for months past they have been
proclaiming their unalterable fealty to
silver as the paramount issue before
the country. We have been following
the expressions of the so-called silver
republican press, not with any idea of
finding them favorable to this ringing
declaration, not because we had any
doubt that it would come in for ad-
verse criticism but merely out of Curl
osity to see how far human ingenuity
could be made TO go in meeting the
contingency, and what sort Of criti-
cism would be offered
Our curiosity is satisfied. We find
nothing directly urged against the free
coinage declaration itself. That is
quite impossible. But we are gravely
told that McLean's nomination is
triumph of DOODLE" and that his
money will never be able to swing the
republicans of Ohio from their allegi-
ance to their party. "Silver- -Repub-
licans'-self-st alphabetically gloating
over the assumed impossibility of the
gold standard party of Ohio being de-
feated.
Then we are assured that Mclean is
proved? Why, it is alleged that he
was defeated for the vice presidential
nominat ton in 1896 upon the ground
that he could not be trusted as a "sil-
yer man" Mr.. McLean's declaration
that he is one; the insistence of his
friends that he is: the firm, unwaVer-
ing course of his great newspaper; the
fact that upon this issue there was lit
orally no division of sentiment in the
convention-all of these things count
for nothing. He is a doodle candi-
date" and untrue to silver" because
somebody has said so. Hence the
prayers and tears of these alleged sill
yer enthusiasts are all with Hanna.

OPERA TONIGHT.
Boston Lyrics Will Present the Favorite
"Said Pasha."


Tonight at the Margaret will be
heard the Boston Lyric Opera company
in said Pasha,' one of the most popu-
lar operas that has ever found a place
upon the stage. The appearance of the
company will be for one night only
This attraction will be in the nature of
the opening of the present theatrical
season.
The ensemble work of the big Boston
Lyric opera company is claimed to ex-
eel that of any similar organization
that travels. The members of the com
pany have been associated together for
so many years that their work is de-
scribed as being well nigh perfect.
All of the very elaborate costumes
and effects used in the productions of
the big company are practically new.
The costumes alone used in the 20 op-
eras given by this company are claimed
to have cost about s6,000 and the scenic
effects an amount nearly equal to that
sum. The Boston Lyrics is one of the
Oldest and most popular repertoire
companies on the road, having been in
existence for many years.

Making Ducks Lay Black Eggs.

According to writer in French sci
entific paper. ducks fed on acorns,
which they will eat ravenously, not un-
frequently lay black eggs. The reason
is that their egg shell is naturally rich
in iron, and this combines with the
tannin in the acorn to produce a good
fast black. The same paper states that
if fowls are fed on boiled lobster shells
they win lay bright red eggs,
