Currency Plank at Kansas City.

The battle of 1896 is to be fought over. MT Bryan is not given to soft words or eyasive methods, when it comes to per sonal convictions party pledges He prefers to fight in a straightforward, direct manner, even if such battle lead, as it did in 1896, to defeat. He has supreme con- tidence in the ultimate triumph of truth.
 At this writing the platform has not been Rdopted, but it is said that the platform committee by vote of 27 to 25 has agreed upon substantially this currency plank:
 We reiterate the demand of the platform of 1896 for an American financial system made by the American people for them selves which shall restore and make cer- tain bi-metallic price level; and as part of such system, the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to l without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation.'
 ' Ex-Senator Hill could not bring himself to the support before adoption, of this plank, and he therefore became ineligible as Vice-Presidential candidate. The ticket and the platform will be made wholly and thoroughly consistent, the one fitting the other. This is square politics, and it will commend itself to all who believe that a party and a party nominee should stand for district and unmistakeable policies. MT. Bryan is not a straddler, and there is to be no straddling at Kansas City. !
 When the situation is fully analysed it must be seen that a plain and simple reaf- frmance of the Chicago platform, the plank herein presented, and the nomina- tion of MT. Bryan, each and all mean one thing, namely the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Why then should there be so much contention over the form the mere expression, of the doctrine? :? The nomination of MT. Bryan alone pre- sents the doctrine and the Age-Herald is unable to see the sense of the contention that has arisen. One party stands for monometallism, and the other for bimetal lism, and the only regret is that Mr. Hill and many other good Democrats could not at the outset bring themselves to a cor dial acceptance of the coinage of gold and }silver at 16 to 1. But they are Democrats, and they will to a man support the plat form.

WAR IS WAR

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 The public complaints of the care of the sick and wounded in South Africa, which begin to get into the papers and Parlia- ment indicate the increasing sensitiveness of the public mind on the side of humanity, whose growth finally should put an end to war. For it is certain that the suffering that inspires such horror is inseparable from war and was once accepted as mat ter of course, as it still is in most of the continental armies. The most perfect ar engagements science and foresight can make for care of sick and wounded in war break down under the pressure of such an im- petuous rush forward as that Lord Rob- erts made from the Modder to Bloemfon- tein and again from there to Johannes burg. Public opinion called on him to beat the Boers and this was the only way to do it. It is unjust to complain of the hard ships of sick and wounded. They were as inevitable as the terrible morality of horses worn out in that race to victory. War [ war, and the price of it is blood arf anguish and death. Those that insist playing the game must not expect to cape paying the stakes

AMERICA

William Cullen Bryant.
 Oh, mother of a mighty race,
 Yet lovely in thy youthful grace! The elder danes, thy naughty peers With words of shame
 And taunts of scorn they join thy name For on thy checks the glow is spread
 That tints thy morning hills with red:
 Thy step-the wild deers rustlng feet
 Within thy woods are not more fleet; Thy hopeful eye
 Is bright thine own summer sky. Ay, let them rail-those naughty ones, While safe thou dwellest with thy sons They do not know how loved thou art, How many a fond and fearless heart
 Would rise to throw
 Its life between thee and the foe.
 They know not in their hate and pride What virtues with thy children bide;
 How true, how good. thy graceful maids Make bright like flowers, the valley
 shades;
 What generous men
 Spring, like thine oaks, by hill and glen.
 What cordial welcomes greet the guest
 By thy lone rivers of the West; How faith is kept and truth revered, And man is loved, and God is feared In woodland homes; And where the ocean border foams.
 There's freedom at thy gates and rest For earth's down-trodden and opprest, shelter for the hunted head, For the starved laborer toll and bread. Power at thy bounds, Stops and calls back its baff1ed hounds. Oh fair young mother! on thy brow Shall sit a nobler grace than now. Deep in the brightness of the skies The thronging years in glory rise, And as they fleet Drop strength and riches at thy feet. | Thine eye. with every coming hour, Shall brighten, and thy frown shall tower And when thy sisters, elder born, Would brand thy name with words O ScOrn, Before thine eye | Upon their lips the taunt shah die.

TRASsVAAL's NEW NAME

From the London Globe.
 What is to be the new name for the Transvaal? The ingenious are already busy with suggestions; but as in the case of the Orange Free State, the fanciful will doubt less be discarded in favor of a business like title. Chamberland and Robertsland are suggested, but considering that the name stands for an Australian colony, the capital of British Columbia, the chief town of Hong Kong, two divisions in Cape Col ony, and score of other places, it is not likely to be used. Lord Roberts Orange River Colony" is, he informs Us, already popular with the people of the defunct Free State and the commandant in chief may be safely left to find good name for the Transvaal.

WHERE Is Ag,Nlsfs?

From the Washington Times.
 Without knowing why, the people of this Union have experienced an uneasy sense of something wrong, an aching ve,c, in fact, in connection with the trust convc1- ton at Philadelphia, and every other man- Hesitation of Hanna and Rockefeller activ- ity since the opening of the campaign. There has been an appearance of incom- pleteness about the personnel of the gen eral management, although few peoole perhaps could tell today what it lacks. We have been excogitatng the matter, and have discovered that the missing link is Abner! We do not need to mention :ne other name of one so universally known and justly distinguished for his services during the Spanish war, and his wealth
 But what has become of him? Where is he? Why was he not as magnificently in evidence in the Quaker City as he was wont to be formerly in Washington and New York? In short, what is the matter with Abner, and for what purpose has he disappeared from the public gaze like g popular character who never existed? Is there any reason why the good and gentle Abner should not get on calling terms
 with the Republican leaders at the present tlme' f1aS ne eyer uoHe anything WHICH would make it prudent to keep him out of sight until after the Presidential elec- tion? Has he left the continent and gone to Hawaii to visit his old chum, Eagan: If so, he must return. The nation demands him. No prosperity campaign could be called complete without the lustre of hi, presence to make it so. He is Republican, prosperity personifed-prosperity great gorgeous, and startlingly sudden. Come tc the surface, Abner, the people yearn and yawn for you! l.

IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT

From the Talladega Mountain Home.
 From all parts of the district comes cheering news as to the success of MT. Bowie, candidate for the Democratic noini- nation for Congress. It appears to be the concensus of opinion that he is the proper man to lead the party to a glorious victory in November by such a majority that there will be no room for contest. We urge the voters of the district to give MT Bowie's record. ability and standing a thorough investigation, and when they dc this we are satised that he will receive their support

These comparative statistics induced the Rev. Dr. Curry, the President of the South ern Educational Conference, to say truly that the paramount question is the pro- vision of adequate public schools, but that at present inefficient teachers and training and too short school terms make it impos- sible to accomplish the reformation which is needed among the whites as well as among the negroes. It was urged by others that the National Government should lend aid in curing this evil of illiteracy; but, of course, the duty rests properly with the States alone.

SOUTHERN IRON ENTERPRISE
From the New York Commercial Adve

From the New York Commercial Adver-
 tiser.
 It is only five years since the first for eign shipment of iron was made from Bir- mingham Ala. This was shipment of 250 tons only, and was, of course purely experimental. Birmingham's iron export is now as high as 5O,o0O tons a week. Let it be remembered, too that the man who made the initial shipment to Europe was a Southerner Northern energy has done a good deal for Birminghams iron industry, but it hasn't done everything.

His s,untness of Expression

When the great Chinaman was in New York he was entertained by Mayor Strong. During his interview Ii asked the Mayor why he had not taken part in the civil war. The Mayor replied that his brother had been in the army, but that he had stayed at home to take care of the family, and was in civil life.
 "Ah," said Lii, you were a very good soldier in time of peace, suppose, and very good civilian in time of war"
 At another time he was discussing gov ernments, and said:
 Five thousand years ago China was a Republic, just as the United States is to- day"
 What made you change your form of government?' he was asked.
 ''The change" he said, twas the most gradual in the world and our first Elm peror was a ploughboy."
 When he was in England he uttered an aphorism, the result of short acquaint- ance with the two gentlemen concerned in it. It was as follows:
 Your Lord Salisbury is man who says little and means much. Your MT. Glad stone is man who says much and means little''

From the New York Press.
 A woman's idea of a skillful doctor is one that will tell her every once in a while that her soul is wearing out her body. because, if they haven't anything else in common, they can always compare their neighbors.
 Half the time when you hear man calling another man "hog," it Is only because the second man has get what the first man would get if he could,
 When you are eating a dinner that a woman has cooked, she expects you to spend half the time it takes to eat it talk ing about how good it is.

Compared Himself with Grant

In no country is the short, pithy proverb more valued than in China. The fashion was set by Confucius, founder of Chinese philosophy, who habitually spoke in prov erbs. Ii Hung Chang is known to the Oc- cident chiefly by reason of his genius as soldier and statesman, but besides these he is philosopher and retailer of proverbs and apothegms of no mean order During his memorable trip around the world he continually surprised Europeans and Amer jeans by his witty and apt sayings, as well as by his abrupt questions, both perti- nent and otherwise
 Many years ago he laid down policy for the treatment of foreigners, which has become universal in both China and Japan. It is: Let us use foreigners, but do not let foreigners use us"
 He admired General U. s. Grant and showed the general many honors when the great American soldier was on his journey around the world After he had gone Ll Hung Chang, in making some comparisons, said:
 General Grant and I have suppressed the two greatest rebellions known in his tory"
 He referred, on his part, to the great Tai-Ping rebellion, probably the greatest uprising of it's kind known to the world
