How can the tangled. tangled web of life

How swiftly flies the shuttle to and fro.
With careless hands we speed 1t on It's

Thy pattern marring by the sudden throw:
The shuttle, then, on loom we sadly lay.
Amazed to see how poor our work for Thee,
Could we our web OF life but weave

With clearer vision we our work might

SAFE GOLD STANDARD.
The Line Between Republicans and
Democrats II Dennite-
IL drawn.

When the United States senate
passed the bill providing that the gold
dollar should be the standard unit of
value, the gold standard was made
legally safe. The house bill differs in
some respects from that of the senate,
but both are alike in the vital pro-
vision, which formally establishes the
gold standard. Conferences will soon
harmonic the bills in their minor fea-
lures, and then, with the approval OF
President Mckinley, the United States,
by the explicit sanction of law, will
take an indisputable place among the
gold standard nations.
The action is the more notable and
gratifying because 1t came from body
which long hung like u weight on the
neck of sound money, and which by
gatherings and makeshifts blocked the
way to the simple and assuring declara-
tion made the other day, and kept
financial affairs in q condition of in
gertrude.
The vote drew the line between the
parties and showed where republicans
and democrats stand on the question
OF purity of the currency. Every repub-
lican but one voted for the bill. Every
democrat but two voted against the
bill, and those two are gold and Cleve-
land democrats who know that their
political future in the democratic par
ty is closed, because with their devo-
ton to honest money they could not
be elected on the democratic ticket to
the pettiest Office in their states.
The vote for A republicans and two
democrats against 2s democrats and
one republican determines the position
of the parties on the-fnancial issue for
the national campaign soon to open.
The republican party is the party
which insists upon the standard of
value recognized by the leading ma
tions of the world-a standard which
therefore is necessary to commercial
intercourse and to financial stability,
and never before 80 necessary as with
the worldwide expansion which this
nation is now enjoying. The democrat
ic party insists upon championship of
cheap metal and bearing against the
opposition Of the world the hopeless
burden of Identifying that metal be-
yond its normal possibilities.
The republican party insists upon
the standard of value which regulates
the currency of the following coun-
tries: Great Britain, Germany, Russia,
Austria-TIungary, Norway and Sweden,
Denmark, Portugal, Turkey, Japan,
Finland, Egypt, British Honduras, Bra
iii, Chilli, Peru, Costa Rica, France,
Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium,
Spain, Greece, Venezuela and India.
The democratic party insists upon the
standard of value of Mexico, except in
commercial affairs; China, where silver
goes by weight value; Servia and
Roumania, and n few states in Central
and South America.
The people chose in 1896 between
the financial platforms of these par
ties. The issue now is even more
definitely made, and the choice will be
repeated by as much larger majority
as four years of the experience of pros
perity will suggest.-Troy Times.

rTThe American Agriculturist esti-
mates that the total advance in the
market value of farm stock since 1896
has been 10000, 0C0, the gain being in
value rather than numbers. The rate
ofincrease in value has been 81 per cent.
The gain in value o five stock many
times exceeds the slight loss by lower
prices for wheat and corn this year. All
of which goes to show that the farm
ers have enjoyed a good share of the
prosperity.-lndianapolis Journal.

THE PORTO RICO TARIFF.
As Part of the United states the Is
land should share In Advnn-
tngeOus Legislation.

The proposal to establish tariff for
ed States. but with reduction of rs
per cent. on both sides in commerce
with the United States, is condemned
in some quarters as unjust, oppressive
and inhuman treatment of that island
Just why it would be so does not APP
pear.
We assume that all legitimate de-
mands would be met if the United
States were to put Porto Rico in de-
cidedly more favorable fiscal condition
than it was when under Spanish rule.
At that time the island was fairly pros
porous and asked commercially moth
ing more than reciprocity with the
United States to make it entirely
happy. One might suppose from what
is now said that it had then no tariff.
The fact is that it had particularly
elaborate tariff, with high rates-high-
or, in general, than il is likely to have
under the proposed legislation. And
assuredly the rs per cent. horizontal
reduction" proposed will be more adj
vantageous to it than any reciprocity
which it ever enjoyed.
Beyond doubt Porto Rico is now in
urgent need of fiscal relief. Beyond
doubt, too, the United States is bound
in the most imperative manner to give
it to the island at the earliest possible
moment. But let there be exercised
some discretion and sense OF proper.
ton in the matter. II we give Porto
Rico better fiscal system and greater
commercial and Industrial prosperity
than it ever had before, shall we not
be doing justly and even generously?
Whether the proposed legislation will
do that is the only pertinent question.
II IL will do 1t. the Legislation is all that
can reasonably be asked.-N. Y. Trib-
une.

Want 81 coo Damages.
Mr.. David F. Morton, of Eureka Mills.
yesterday afternoon instituted suit in the
Circuit Court for $1,000 damages against
the Medical College Of Virginia for
humiliation and breach of contract
Mr. Morton matriculated at the Medical!
College Of Virginia, in the dental de-
partment, on February Z, 1900. By rea-
son of the fact that NIr. Morton was
a Bachelor of Science from the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute, at Blacksburg, he
was to be allowed to matriculate, it is
claimed, as second-year student In a
three-year course, whereby he would
have been enabled to graduate in two
years. With this understanding on the
part of NIr. Morton the usual fees We're
paid
Then trouble began. The students, it
is claimed, who had matriculated un-
der the three-year agreement heard Of
the /alIeSed provisions of Mr.. Morton's
agreement, and at once entered for
NAL and vigorous protest, waiting upon
the instructor in that branch Of the
college DR.. Henry c. Jones, and stat
ing their objections in language that
was not easily misunderstood. DR..
Jones, with a view Of having the matter
settled promptly, stated to the students
that if they had complaint to make
they must make it in writing. This
was done, it is understood, and the
matter was taken up.
MIR. Morton, the declaration alleges,
was then forced to withdraw from the
school, and under the circumstances set
forth above, he consulted counsel and
the suit was instituted, claiming dam
ages i'll the sum of $1,000 for humiliation
and breach Of contract.
