Backache Cured
An Eve for RenIiam.

The new reporter in his story Of the
wedding wrote: ''The floral display
stretched from the chancel rail to the
doors of the church"
The city editor, in a mild manner, as
is the custom of city editors with new
reporters, suggested:
Couldn't you have used a better
word than 'stretched! Say the floral
display nodded or 'twined,' or some
thing like that-sOme word more sug-
gestive of flowers"
Stretched is all right" replied the
new reporter. with the stubborn cour-
age of a realist. THE decorations con-

Intended to Deceive.

The Republican national platform is
the most thoroughly hypocritical docu-
ment ever submitted to the American
people by political party. In many
instances it stoops to downright false
hood.
Referring to the party's position on
the money question in 1896. the plat
form adopted yesterday at Philadelphia
says:
The Republican party, denOuncing
this plank Cbimetallisml as sure to pro-
duce conditions even worse than those
from which relief was sought. prom
ised to restore prosperity by means of
two legislative measures. A protective
tariff and a law making gold standard
of value. The people by great majOri
ties issued to the Republican party a
commission to enact these laws. This
commission has been executed, and the
Republican promise is redeemed"
Compare this with the 1896 platform:
1--WE are therefore opposed to the free
coinage of silver except by information
nj agreement with the leading CONNER
cial nations of the earth. which agree
ment we pledge ourselves to promote.
and until such agreement can be oh
tanned the existing gold standard must
be maintained"
This pledge has not been redeemed
The Republican party has not. pro-
NOTED an international agreement for
bimetallism. and instead of maintain
ing 1.-The existing gold standard" the
party has enacted law that makes
gold the standard of value and in ef-
feet makes all other forms of mor.ey
subordinate TO gold.
