Never is an opportunity let pass Dy the Hartford Times to give Bryan a cuff and the silver question kick. A few evenings since that paper publish. ed the following: Here is proposl- tion to take a round coin called dollar" which is worth less than half as much as another coined dollar is- sued by the government, and there are actually men in congress so lost to all sense of what is o. K. in fiatism as to be willing to have these short weight dollars recoined into good, honest sub sidiary coins, in which form the silver would be of some real use" The New Haven Union, which is and was and will be for Bryan takes the Times to task for it's lack of knowledge of the whole question. Editor Troup says: 'tSo the 4121s grains of silver in a sil-. yer dollar is of no real value, but melt it into two 50-cent pieces. four 25-cent pieces, or 10 dimes and it immediately becomes good, honest subsidiary coin. Will the editor of the Times figure out the intrinsic value of 4121a grains of silver in a dollar coin, and then 1gure the intrinsic value in two 50-cent coins four 25-cent coins, and 10 dimes, and then inform us how the dishonest 4127a grain dollar becomes the honest half for an answer"

Tn the current issue of the Ecclesi- astical Review, a monthly publication devoted to the interests and welfare of the Catholic clergy, appears an arti- cle on the Friar question. It is of more than ordinary interest at this time, when there is so much being said that is not true about the Friars, the Taft Commission, the Pope, and all and everything in connection with. the affair. We quote:
 .'The printed utterances of our Cath olic journals on the subject of the Philippine Friars'' shows that editors also may be deceived. Whilst it is always possible and good form to ac- knowledge an error. there is little or no apology to be made and accepted for wanton personal attacks upon high officials, whether in the State or in the Church. made on the basis of par tial and uncertain reports. Such ire sponsible language is likely to lower the estimate which many unprejudiced Americans have of the Catholic Church, and it is also apt to defeat the purpose of benefiting the interests of the Friars by provoking the just resentment of the officials in whose hands the settlement of the difficult ties is placed. Rome i'll it's dealings with the Taft Commission has shown a very different spirit altogether tenn perate and conciliatory, without sacri- fieing any principle. And Rome is Ill possession of the facts. That ought to be a lesson to those who are re- sponsible for the reckless charges of bigotry against persons who in fact have shown themselves well-disposed to see justice done to Catholics, whilst they were not blind to the actual con dition of things in the Philippines. Some of these things are humiliatlng enough, and they suggest that we would do well to look to things that need correction in our own camp There is no gain to the Catholic cause from the practice of white washing ruins under the plea that they were at one time destined to and did serve as part of the grand structure of the
 Church. The decayed material should be thrown out of the Church, and it behooves us who dwell in the Church to do it.'

enemies to rout. The only real oppo- sition Mayor Sullivan had was from his own city. It was a mistake for a New Haven, paper to say that Sle Wat erbury delegates opposed him. They were his most ardent supporters, and helped to win his seat for him. The work of the convention was exc cuted with dispatch, and platform of principles adopted, which will be found in another column. The league will hardly nominate men for state or perhaps city or town offices, but the members will keep an eye on politics generally, and make an effort to have their ideas in regard to municipal af- fairs in particular embodied in the platforms of either of the older par ties. The democratic party is the one, no doubt, the league can expect any thing from, and it is to this party it will probably look for the promulga- tion of the ideas advanced at yester- days convention.

Uncle Hezekiah Tucks his napkin meath his collar But he's given to the widows and the or phans many dollar;
 Uncle Hezekiah Scoops his pie up with his knife-- But he never cheated others to get money, in his life.
 Uncle Hezekiah Isn't always dressed in fashion But the hoarding up of money never was his ruling passion:
 Uncle HezeSiah Would amuse the gay elite But he never to gain riches crushed another meath his feet
 Uncle Hezekiah Isn't what you'd call a scholar But think he says his prayers without re- memberingy the dollar;
 Uncle Hezekiah Says "I seen it" and T 6one--'' But he never caused another to be heart sore just for fun.

It is generally believed, says one writer, that President Roosevelt in planning an extensive western trip for this fall, and in requesting his cabinet officers to speak from the plat form in support of his administration, is following the inspiration of ex-Presi- dent Cleveland who secured the nomi- nation of his party in the face of op- position by the democratic leaders It is believed that Mir Roosevelt clearly appreciates the efforts which are being, coyertly but not the less surely, made to prevent his nomination for a ability to capture popular sentiment to force the republican leaders to nomi- nate him in 1904 The president has frankly ayowed his desire of securing the nomination to succeed himself and careful scrutiny of the callers at Oyster Bay during his vacation will reveal the care with which he is laying his plans and the effort he is making to establish himself in an impregnable position. Friends of the president take great pride in what they call t'the list of the injured" viz, the roster of the congressman who opposed the presidents Cuban policy, and who have failed of renomination for con gross or at least of indorsement by their own party. The list now in cludes three senators and eight rep resentatives.

AVOID ~TALKING SHOP

Shallow minds are always talking shop" They are not large enough to be able to carry on conversation intel ligently on subjects which would in terest everybody. They must drag their listeners into their own little ruts, and hold them by thS sleeve while they fill their ears With what interests only themselves and their companions i'll work. You never hear a really cultured, tactful man or wo- man 'stalk shop in society, or any where outside of his or her office or place of business.
 If you wish to make yourself agree able to other people, do not make your business or your occupation, whatever it may be, ;B subject of conversation with those whom it cannot possibly in- terest Read, think, observe, visit picture galleries and museums, and learn to talk about things which other people will enjoy.
