REPUBLICAN REPUTATION.
The Inconsistency OF the Party Record
ON the Financial Question.

The Republican Campaign Text
Book, for 1902 (pages I57 to I59),
gives the following as the position
of the Republican party at that time
on the question of bi-mettalism
"Nine tenths of the people are
bi-mettalists. They want both
money metals used, because they
believe both are needed to sustain
the worlds commerce. The Re-
publican party honestly and in.
telligently answers their wishes.
President Harrison is a bi-mettalist,
as his official papers and speeches
show. The Republican platform
declares for bi-mettalism and in that
respect faithfully Represents the
course of the party. The Republi-
can policy seeks broader monetary
basis. The worlds commerce
expands so rapidly - the
volume of paper currency and of
various credit substitutes for money,
which must be supported by the
specie basis, has become so vast
that scarcely any can be found to
deny that commerce and industry
would be safer il the entire stock OF
s3,7II,845, 600 gold and s3,o1o,-
57Jooo silver in the world (see
estimate of Director Of the Mint
Leech, Table A., could be freely
employed as foundation, instead
of only part Of that amount. As
matters stand in the great CONNER
cial nations of the world, the credit
system and the commercial ex-
changes now rest upon the stock of
gold as the only basis. A BIZ
metallic system would render the
commerce and industry Of these
nations safer and more healthy.
Serious losses and great risks are in.
CURED through the constant distur-
bance Of exchanges between
gold-using and silver-using coun.
tries. Even in Great Britain, where
gold recommendation is worshipped
as It Is nowhere else, the greatest
statesmen and the most powerful
boards Of trade are at their wits
end to discover some way OF escap.
ing the frightful losses in commerce
with the East which have this very
year involved great banks and firm,

platforms Of the Republican party

Exposition. But we know it is the
bane of our diplomatic and consul
lar services, and that it results in
our sending aspiring, illiterate
ounces to represent us in hundreds
of foreign cities, where our consuls
are in sharp contrast with the elite,
educated polyglot agents of England,
Germany and Russia. The CRYING
need of our foreign trade to-day is
not cheaper production, or more
ships, but an improved corps of
commercial and consular agents
speaking several languages of coso-
mopolitan intellectual range and as
intelligently Jealous for the interests
of their country as is the average
Chicago or New York drummer for
the success of his house. We have
the raw material for such q CORPS.
The pity is that it is so very raw.
French, German and Spanish should
be known by those who presume to
ask for consular places, and not
only smattering of these languages
but easy conversational felicity in
them. The requirement of these
languages will enable the scholar to
speak one more language, Italian,
almost without study, and not until
we insist upon this equipment as
sine nou for consular appointment
will we be able to complete with the
astute, debonair, and versatile
agents sent out by other countries.

Some of the Mckinley dailie:
which have been declaiming abou,
Populists might tell us something
about that fusion in North Carolina,
in which the Republicans take three
electors and give the Pops eight.
Apparently Pop is all right when
ne aftiliates with a Republican but
all wrong when he enlists with the
Democrats. In other words when
Democrat fuses with Populist ne
is seeking to overthrow society but
when a Republican does the same
thing he is striving to save the gov
eminent.

SEPTEMBER.
A MATTER OF POLICY.

While honesty is policy
And truth jewel too,
I'd hate to be the person
Who told everything that's true,
Who instead of lying glibly;
"What lovely child is thatp
Must in truth say to its mother:
"What an ugly little brat"
Just suppose at some reception,
Entertainment shoul be slow,
And we fret and fume and fidget
AS we often do, you know.
Who would care to make his fare
we'll
Truthfully to host and say:
"l've been simply bored to death,
Sir,
And Pm glad to get awayp
Who would care to meet a lad,
Whom he hadn't seen tor years,
Greet her pleasantly and tell her
How much older she appears1
How much nicer to lie glibly,
Lie sincerely, and to say:
"Why, it seems to me that you are
Growing younger every day."
Be he saint or be he sinner,
Would a mortal man, forsooth,
Ever dare 60 out 10 dinner
If he had to tell the truth?
Say the roast was tough and taste
less,
Say the soup was seasoned wrong,
Say twas strange how weak the
coffee
When the butter was so strongl
When the amateur canary
In the parlor MARBLES gay,
Like a buzzsaw on a tantrum
Who would care to rise and say:
Goodness me, but how you fitted,
My, how shrill your high notes
are,
have heard young calves that
blated
Better music-better farl"
If to truth you have a leaning,
It's not always best to say
What you think on some occa-
sions,
There's another, wiser way:
Twixt your policy and conscience
To affect compromise,
Let what you think be truthful
If what you tell be lies.

cesSful
From its Cape Town correspondent the
Daily Mail has received the following:
THE second invading force was designed
to occupy Britishtown, but being checked
by the Deaar trops, it has disappeared
into the Cederberg mountains.
An enormous concentration of troops
is being made upon the Veldt country oc>
cupied by the invaders, but it is not
likely that the ROers will offer battle in
large numbers. There is a renewed de-
mand for the wholesale proclamation of
martial law"
A dispatch from De Aar, Cape Colony,
says that the Neomanry have driven the
Beers out Of Houtkraal, the enemy retir-
ing westward.

BOOB HAzING CASE.
TESTIMONY BEFORE ARMORY
BOARD AT WEST POINT


WEST. POINT, N. Y, Dee. 21.-The mil
itary court of inquiry into the alleged
brutal forms of hazing, which are said
to have caused the death of Cadets Booz
and Breth, will not be able to finish it's
work this week. An adjournment until
Wednesday or Thursday will be taken
after tomorow's session, and the re-
mainder of the testimony will probably
be secured by the end of next week The
story of the fight between Keller and
Booz Aug. 6, 1898. was told by KeIar
himself, as well as by some of the see
onds and sentinels, who were posted to
watch for officers who might interfere,
the testimony showing that Booz laid
down.
A letter was read in court from the
Rev. DR.. Alexander Allison, of Bristol,
Pa. It was written in reply to one he
had received from Cadet Burnett, presi-
dent of the Y. M. c.. A, at the academy
DR. Allison said that Booz was not a
man to read novels hidden in a Bible
Nothing adduced in the evidence today
showed that there was any brutal hazing
practiced at the academy, and the trend
of the evidence went to show that neither
Booz nor Breth was possessed of the
necessary mental capacity to go through
with the studies necessary of cadets.
