The Denver Republican hee-
has at an alleged bou mot by
Senator Wolcott concerning A. E.
Stevenson's presence on the BIZ
metallic commission 1t is true
Mr.. Stevenson may have COM
promised himself by going with
that commission-anybody who
associates with Ed Wolcott does
80 at tho risk of his or her repu-
tation. His record for silver,
however, does not figure in the
transaction. Nobody blamed the
commission for failure to perform
miracles, handicapped as it was
by hostile republican admins
tration, which discounted its eff
forts wherever it went. Senator
Wolcott, it will be remembered,
had something to say about this
when he returned from Europe
with the commission.

prescribe rather than have silver
come down jot.
Talk about the individual who
strained at gnat and swallowed
a camel. Mr.. Briggs and his as
sociates are two Of him.
Anti-imperialism was empha-
sized in the democratic platform
because it is the burning question
Of the hour. 1t is better to look
first to the nations safety, and
then to her finances-in other
words, to the man before the dol
lar. The silver question is not
being subordinated, but is now
and will continue to be fore
most issue until the question is
settled in accordance with Justice
and right.
There are imperialists who say
they cannot accept the silver
plank and silverites who claim
they cannot stomach the anti-im-
perialist plank. But all this is
to be expected. No human hands
nor divine-have ever been able
to fashion doctrine suited to all
minds.
Those who are truly sincere for
silver, however, will not follow
Mr.. Briggs example, whatever
their feelings on Imperialism.
Nor will the honest anti-imperial-
list gag at silver. Any other cause
would mean not alone wasted
strength but the courting of
destruction.

Tho soldiers from New South Wales

. set of communion plate, which Is as
historic as it is valuable. When New
South Wales furnished its volunteers
for Egypt in the SOS, the force was
presented with set Of communion
plate, which went with them to the
front. On their return the plate was
presented to Christ church, Alexander
Boy, Sydney, on condition that, II at
any future time New South Wales SOL
disrs went on active service, the COM
munion plate was to be given up. Rev.
E. c. Beck, the chaplain attached to
the New South Wales contingent, has
now these sacred vessels in his posses

Consumption In New York.
Attention has been drawn to the

OUR PLATFORM.
ROTTEN TIMBER.

There are number OF alleged
silver republicans who are taking
advantage of the anti-imperialist
plank in the democratic platform
to get back to the bosom of their
family, the straight republican
party.
In Teller county, the other
day, Frank N. Briggs, president,
and Charles j. J.Perkins, secretary,
of the Teller county silver repub-
lican committee, decamped, leav-
ing the organization practically
headless. For this action the two
gentlemen we're soundly roasted
by the Rocky Mountain
News, to which Mr.. Briggs made
feeble reply in his paper, the
Victor Record.
The Sentinel does not believe
in battering with such words as
TRAITOR" "hypocrite." etc, the
recalcitrant party members who
choose to change their views and
associations In the case here
considered, however, Mr.. Patter-
son is to be excused for the use
of plain language. The whole af-
fair bore the earmarks of a sell
out, and when Messrs. Briggs
and Perkins went over to the
enemy they evidently expected tc
take their organization along.
Mr.. Briggs tamely explains his
action by saying that when the
democratic and silver republican
parties made anti imperialism
predominant and silver subordi-
nate, he was set adrift and must
perforce return to the party OF
Hanna and Mckinley to find
refuge.
Of course this does not furnish
satisfactory excuse for an officer
deserting his troops because of g
superior's Objectionable action
But lot that pass.
Mr.. Briggs was silver repub'
lican, SO he says, because he was
desirous of remaining true to sill
yer. Yet he takes advantage Of
quibble or technicality to fly
principle and party for the doc
trine of goldbugism unalloyed.
The gentleman from Teller,
rather than see silver made Sec
ondary issue, would see it buried
beyond resurrection. He is will
ing to accept trusts or anything
else his whilom opponents would
