Silver Question.

bii'NA VNDollOL'
st. Louis, February 26.-Senstor j. X.
Jones. chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, eaid to-day:
"In the coming campaign the Democratic
party will be opposed to Imperialism, and by
that mean the acquisition Of territory re-
mote from the country, and its government,
either as a part Of the United States or as
colonies. The Democratic party has always
favored the extension of DER commerce, while
the Republican party, by its protective tariff
policy hiss always opposed and discouraged
It The Democratic party will continue to
favor every legitimate means Of expanding
and extending the commerce Of the United
States"
''Will silver be as important an issue as
it was in the campaign Of 1867" he was
asked.
"If you will come TO me about the 18th OF
next November | will be better informed on
APPOINT, replied the Senator
"Do you think silver has paled any as
an issue before the American people?'
"You know as much about that as do.
Constitutions and platforms do not make
issues. The Democratic party is the party
Of bimetallism, and its declaration in the
next platform Oh this question Will be as
strong as it was in 1896 But whether silver,
or opposition to trusts, or imperialism, will
claim most attention from the people is
something | cannot tell you"
"Will Bryan be the next Democratic
nominee fol- the presidency"
II think sou
"From what section Of the country should
the yice-presidential candidate come, in order
to further strengthen the ticket?'
81 do not know. do not think is makes
much difference, if he Is the right man for
the nomination"
"Will the rise in the pIice of cotton and
the probability Of the Nlcaraguan canals
being built have tendency to weaken the
Democracy's hold OF the South2"
Think not"

The Claqueurs.

The work OF the "claqueurs" is not,
as will be readily seen, intellectually
of a very high order. The chief is sup
posed TO have taken volumiDous notes
at the rehearsals of the play they are
seeing performed. TO have consulted
with the manager, to have chatted
with the author-in short, TO have
made a close study OF the entire work
on which his brigade" is TO be en-
gagged. He is the spring Of the claque.
The men under his orders, scattered
here and there under the chandelier,
are merely parts of the machinery. and
they would no more think of applaud
ing on their own account than they
would think OF flying.
Once upon a time there was daring
claQueur who did not wait for the sig
nal, but his short connection with the
profession-he was Immediately reliev-
ed of his fauteuil for breach of disci-
pline-hardly entities him TO the honor
of mention In the same company with
eminent claqueurs. The part he ap-
rlauded happened TO be the only good
scene in the whole play. His sense of
art, unfortunately. was stronger than
his idea of duty. Seized with uncon-
trollable enthusiasm, he. the only man
of taste among the claQue. made the
house ring with applause. He is now
one OF the most eminent dramatic crit
fcs in Paris.-Wide Wide World.

The Peculiar Toucan.

The most amusing thing about that
peculiar bird the toucan was to see
him preparing to roost, and he began
quite early, while other birds were still
wide awake. The first thing was to
carefully cock up-for it was a slow
and cautious proceeding-his absurd
little scut of tail, which was only
about three or four inches long. This
must in some way have affected his
balance, for he never moved on the
perch after The tail had been laid care
fully back. Then, later in the even
ing, he gently turned the huge, un-
wieldy bill around by degrees until il,
too, was laid along his back and buried
in feathers in the usual bird fashion.
BY the way, l have always wonder
ed how and why the myth arose that
birds sleep with their heads under their
wings. A moments thought or obser-
vauon would show that IT is quite as
impossible n feat for a bird as for q
human being.
However, the toucan's sleeping ar
rangements resulted in producing an
oval mass Of feathers supported on one
leg, looking as unlike q bird as ii is
possible to imagine. When he was
ruthlessly awakened by a sudden poke
or noise, which, 1 grieve to state, was
often done-in my absence, needless to
say-l heard that he invariably tum-
bled down in q sprawling heap, being
unable to adjust the balance required
by the ponderous bill all In a moment

The President rtss NO Choice.


The president has 10 candidate
for the vice presidency. This has
been made as clear as possible
within the past week. Neverthe-
less, the papers will continue to
advance this man and that as the
administration candidate. At lesst
Eve men prominently mentioned for
this high Office have in turn had
the president sounded as to his
wishes. The request has been made
in each case that some intimation
be conveyed if the candidacy is dis.
tasteful to the president. or if it
will interfere with any plan. In
each case the answer returned has
been in effect, Go ahead" Those
closest to the president agree that
they have never heard him express
a preference for any particular per
son as a running mate. They also
agree in the belief that the presi
dent will not express any such pre-
ference. They think that the Phiia
delphia convention will meet with
out any tip from the white house
as to who should be nominated for
the second place.
