Towne's Startling Statements.

Probably the most interesting
item of political news this week,
from silver republican standpoint,
is contribution to the press from
the pen Of Ex-Congressman Charles
A. Towne, chairman of the silver
republican national committee. Mr..
Towne makes statements which, if
they came from almost any other
source, would be denounced as
the words of traitor by the whole
hysterical democratic press.
Mr.. Towne says that the issue of
trusts and imperialism has for the
time obsrured the silver question,
and in his judgment silver should
not and will not figure in the COM
ing campaign.
MIR. Towne further says that he
has no objection to gold in itself,
and that as long as under the gold
standard, and because of the great
increase in the output of gold and
large gold imports, commodity
prices have ceased to fall and tend
to rise, he has no quarrel with the
gold standard.
Mr.. Towne adds that monetary
and price conditions now prevail
which were sought by the silver
men in 1896, and so long as this
situation continues, silver men will
not object simply because il
came about through more gold
money than through more silver.
Mr.. Towne closes by saying thai
it will be time enough to press the
bimetallist cause when these con,
ditions have changed.
The HERALD could not hav,
stated its own position on fnanc,
more conoisely than to use word
of MIR, Towne, as above given
Conditions have changed in tn
past four years. In the Language
of Congressman Joseph Sibley
that great advocate of Bryan ant
silver in 1896, "What was SCUM,
argument in 1896, is, by tn
changed conditions of the country
the most inconsistent bosh il
1900"
Silver, then, out of the campaign
why follow Mr.. Towne and other
off mo the democratic party?
we meant what we said when W
declared we were republicans 0
every other issue but silver, now

The anxiety of the democrats
for an Issue is something pitiable
to behold. There was the Macruln
incident. 1t has been dropped
like a hot potato. Now it is the
Porto Rican question and it is al
ready on the wan. Where would
the democrats get the 100000
necessary to put Porto Rico on her
feet? Where is there z better place
to get it than to collect it from the
sugar and the tobacco trusts on
their imports from Porto Rico into
this country?

The trust question will play an
important part in the coming cam
paign, Notwithstanding that both
the democrat and republicans will
declare against the trusts. But
there will be this difference. The
republicans have a record for re-
deeming the pledges made in their
platforms, while the democrats
have not redeemed a pledge made
in the last 40 years except to tinker
with the tariff and thus bring dis
aster to the country. In this con-
nection it is interesting to recall
that every important, beneficial
law placed upon the statute books
il. the last 40 years has been placed
there by the republicans in the face
of the 6ercest democratic opposition

If you pick up that interesting annu-
al the city directory, you will find it
filed with bluffs. Here is man down
as superintendent. You know he Is
only the foreman Of labor gang. An
other is designated as general mana
ger. Three or four men are subject to
his general management, or, as his
5-year- -old-son, who inherited his pro-
pensity to bluff, put it, hes the head
man of three other fellows" Over on
this page is another chap who is given
as the political editor OF newspaper
Of some political Importance. Don't
believe it He's merely reporter as
signed to gather political news, and ev-
erything he writes is carefully "edited"
by another man with q title Of much
less Importance. This man down in
the book as a merchant sells shoe
strings and collar buttons in cubby
hole between two buildings made avail
able when an alley fell into disuse.

when there was a particularly hard
lunge the screws came out of the wa
ter and whirled round SO rapidly as to
almost throw me out of bed. l was
sleeping with my head forward, and
after awhile 1 discovered that the
screws seemed to come out of the wa
ter when the prov was in the air. Then
it occurred to me that this was impos-
sible. OF course the screws came out
when the stern was in the air.
$50 my discovery was that in sea-
sickness, particularly when you are in
bed at night or have your eyes closed,
the ship really pitches upward when
you think it pitches downward. This
confusion may assist in muddling the
brain and stomach. l certainly had
this experience all through one night.
When my head seemed in the air, the
screws came out of the water. although
my heels were really in the air at the

Ancient Snndfals

1t is probable that the earliest sun
dial was simply the spear Of some no.
mad chief stuck upright in the ground
before his tent. Among those desert
wanderers, keen to observe their sur
roundings, it would not be difficult
thing to notice that the shadow short
ened as the sun rose higher in the sky
and that the shortened shadow always
pointed in the same direction-north.
The recognition would have followed
very soon that this MONDAY shadow
changed in it's length from day to day.
A six foot spear would give shadow
at MONDAY in latitude 40 degrees of IL
feet at one time of'the year, OF less
than two feet at another.
This instrument, so simple, SO easily
carried. % easily set up, may well have
begun the scientific study of astrono-
my. for it lent itself to. measurement,
and science is measurement, and prob
ably we see it expressed in permanent
form in the obelisks Of Egyptian solar
temples, though these no doubt were
retained merely as solar emblems ages
after their use as actual instruments
Of observation had ceased. An upright
stick carefully plumbed standing on
some level surface may therefore well
make the first advance upon the natu-
raj horizon. A knob at the top OF the
stick will be found to render the shad-
ow more easily observed.-E. Walter

And Yet He Had to Smile.

She was telling tales on her brother,
who was an extravagant chap when he
bad money, which was only for two or
three days each month after he receiv-

her something nice. So he went to the
florist and ordered one dozen American
Beauty roses to be sent to her address.
They. were IS cents apiece, and that
meant 50, enough for Bob to pay. But
what does the foolish fellow do?
He sees some extra long stemmed
ones standing in vase near by, and
he prices those. .One dollar and
quarter apiece says the man. Bob is
feeling very generous that day. His
allowance has just come in. Give me
a dozen Of those instead of the cheap
ones l TOOK he says and hands over
the extra $6
''That night he calls on the girl to see
the effect his present has made. She
hasn't received the flowers yet. They
come while he is there. This just suits
him, because he will be able to see the
expression of astonishnient on her face.
She opens the box, sees Bob's card
and lifts up the roses with a cry of rap
ture and an oh, Mr.. Wentworth, how

everywhere for vase tall enough. You
see, she hasn't any Of those that stand
on the floor, but only an ordinary

she lays them on the table, and with
one skillful whack of her little pearl

length of the stems. Bob says it turn

A Child.a Philosophy,

It is one of the prime secrets of hap

natural limitations, but philosophy Of
this kind is perhaps hardly to be ex-
pected Of children.
A little girl had sent back her plate
for turkey two or three times and had
been helped bountifully to all the good
things that 60 to make grand Christ
mas dinner. Finally she was observed
looking rather disconsolately at her un-
finished plate of turkey.

He Prayed Hard.

An old man in Georgia named Jack
Baldwin. having lost his hat in an old
dry well one day, hitched rope to a
stump and let himself down. A wicked
wag named Neal came along just then
and, quietly detaching bell from
Baldwin's old blind horse, approached
the well bell in hand and began to ting
a-ling.
Jack thought the old horse was COM
ing and said: Hang the old blind
horse! He's coming this way sure, and
he amt got no more sense than to fall
in on me. Whoa, Ballv'
The sound came closer.
Great Jerusalem, the old blind fool
will be right on top of me in mint!
Whoa, Ball! Whoa. haw, Ballv'
Neal kicked little dirt on Jacks
head, and Jack began to pray:
''Oh, Lord, have mercy on-whoa,
Ball!-a poor sinner I'm gone now;
whoa. Ball. Our father who art in

the seller would be responsible. sup
pose he undertook to put nail in the
horses shoe or suppose the jeweler
said he would polish up the ring, then
the loss would fall on him, not you.
If you wrote from London to miller
in Bristol offering to sell him a cargo
of wheat at 80 shillings a quarter and
he wrote letter accepting your offer
and posted it the same day. the con-
tract would be completed. Suppose,
now, the letter got lost, you concluded
that he was not going to buy and you
sold the cargo to some one else, you
would be liable for damages to the first
buyer, and the worst Of it is you could
get nothing out of the postmaster gen.

The Septic Skirt.

of women sweep through the streets
with their skirts and bring with them.
wherever they so, the abominable filth
which they have taken up, which is
by courtesy called dust Various
devices have been tried to keep dress
es from dragging, but most Of them
have been unsuccessful. The manage
ment of long gown is a difficult
matter. an1 the habit has arisen OF
seizing the upper part Of the skirt and
holding it in bunch. This practice
can be commended neither from a
physiological nor from an artistic
point Of view. Fortunately, the
short skirt is coming into fashion,
and the medical journals especially
commend the sensible walking gown,
which is now being quite generally
adopted. These skirts will prevent

for both heating and cooking. The

a large robe made Of the skins of thlr-

Some Handsome Dresses.

Cherry-colored foulard, spotted or
"snowed' with white, is a fashionable
material in Paris. A handsome gown
of this fabric has a rounded empiece-
ment forming a double collar Of white
silk piped with black, the idea being
repeated at the hem Of the skirt and
bordering an insertion Of cluny lace.
With this toilet is long dust cloak
with string colored lace hood.
Another pretty gown was In Gre
vette pink foulard trimmed with in
sertions Of guipure and having that
slight touch Of black which Paris
dressmakers wisely consider necessary
to the gown Of light colorng.
Hats on the Bois are crowded with
lowers, and many Of them are tied be-
Geath the chin with narrow black vel
vet strings. Some Of the fancy COL
ored straw hats are absolutely guilt
less of trimming. These are made in
. combination of shaded straws,
which In front take the form of a big
bow. Other fashionable hats are Of
crumpled "crin" trimmed with full
blown pink roses.

may be rolled up with the muff. SO as
to appear as If sewed to 1t. The un-
derside Of the drop" is to be utilized
to contain a good-sized pocket. which
will be great convenience. Muffs
are to be soft and fiat instead Of pad
ded into stiff cylinders. Scalskins.
which are to be very dear, are to have
great revival Of popularity. Chin
chilla in spite of It's fragility will be
in high favor. A newcomer in the
market will be natural otter and
beaver, which have been absent from
popular usage for several years. Dark
colored furs will excel light ones in
popularity. Mink and sables will be
worn. Combinations OF dark with
light furs will have great run. Sha wi
collars Of a light fur on jackets Of
broadtail will meet with deserved
favor. Coats, especially those Of seal
skin, will be short. scarcely more than
Eton length. There will be also some
very long coats. but the jacket Of me
dunn length has been relegated to the
background.
