Slightly Mixed on Money.

In framing the St. Louis plat
form the gold Democrats Of the
East and the free-silver Democrats
Of the West compromised their diff
ferences upon the financial problem
by utterly ignoring it, though the
Democratic party regarded this as
the paramount issue in 1896 and in
1900. After having disposed of the
financial question by leaving it out
of its platform altogether the con-
vention nominated for the presiden-
cy candidate who at once une-
qulvocally endorsed the attitude of
the Republican party upon the finan-
cial issue, and then threw out some
bait for the free silver people to nib
bic at by nominating a free-silverite
for the vice presidency. Whatever
may be the views of Democrats as
individuals upon the financial ques-
ton their party is supporting for the
presidency man who boldly pro-
claims his belief that the monetary
policy of the Republican party is
the correct thing.

"Out From the Depths"

Two years ago David B. Hill of
New York was very generally re-
garded as having been buried
fathoms deep in the sea of political
oblivion. He recently came to the
surface, however, and after resusci-
tating himself, in spite of the re-
monstrances of Tammany, climbed
up onto the hurricane deck of the
Democratic ship, and in a tone of
authority assumed absolute COM
mand of the craft. The resurrec-
ton of Hill has reduced Bryan to
the. subordinate position of 'sfirst
mate" which the erstwhile COM
mander accepts under the most
vigorous protest. Although some
what hampered by the subordina-
ton of his first mate, Hill success
fully ran the Murphy blockade, and
captured the presidential nomination
for his protege Parker. The New
York boss is decidedly aout from
the depths of the sea of political
oblivion, much to the disgust of the
Tammany regency who had hoped
to secure the nomination of Mayor
Mcclellan.

If, as claimed, the third-term con-
tingent had a majority of the regu-
larly elected and duly certified dele
gates to the state convention why
did not its managers permit the
gymnasium convention to be or
ganized in accordance with the GUS
tomary manner of organizing like
assemblages, and then vote the
other fellows down? A purpose on
the part of the third termers for a
fair deal would have rendered need
less the employment of deputy
sheriffs, policemen, and professional
athletes. The sergeant-at-arms alone
could have preserved the peace "
so far as The 567 stalwarts were con-
cerned.

"The financial question is not an
issue in this campaign" says the
National Democratic convention.
This acknowledgement by the
Democratic leaders is the highest
commentator upon the success of
Republican policy that could be
given. The financial question was
the chief issue in two presidential
campaigns preceding this one now
on. The Democratic party in these
two previous campaigns advocated
bimetallism the free coinage of sill
yer at a ratio with gold of 10 to /.
The Republican party advocated
and established this gold standard.
That standard is now a fixture. 1t
is established in business and in law,
beyond the peradventure of dis
turbance. In accordance with the
irresistible logic of events the Demo
cratic party is forced to admit that
the gold standard, adopted in the
financial world as the solid rock
foundation of business, cannot be dis
turbed. "The financial question is
not an ISSUE" Thanks to the wis
dom, the courage and the ability to
do of the Republican party. The
Democrats, generous in conceding
the credit of this great event to the
Republicans, ask that party to vacate
the offices in favor of the Demo-
cratic following. "The Republican
party has outlived IFS usefulness. 1t
has accomplished that for which it
was organized. Let it disband and
give the fruits of its great accom-
plishments to those who opposed its
benefcent policy" That is carry
ing the 'logic of events" to an lille
gitimate conclusion.

State Institutions.
VII. STATE REFORMATORY.

The State Reformatory, SO called,
is an institution established in 1897
with the object to return to society
within the shortest time possible
under the circumstances, young men
who, through ignorance, bad en-
vironments, poor training or natural
ly vicious habits, have committed
some offense against the law. The
main purpose of the institution, as
contemplated by the law that COM
mands its establishment, is not to
punish these young men for their
crimes, but to correct the evil and
criminal tendencies SO that they will
become good, industrious and USE
full citizens.
Any male person between the age
of 16 and 80 years who is the FIRST
TIME convicted of crime punish
able by imprisonment in the state
prison or in county Jail for term
of one year or more, with the ex-
ception of those who are found
guilty of murder in the first, second
or third degree may be committed to
the reformatory. Inmates of the In
dustrial School for Boys may also,
if found unmanageable, be trans
ferred to the Reformatory after
reaching the age of 1o.
The sentences, in general, are for
an indeterminate period, but within
the limits of imprisonment pre-
scribed by law for the offense of
which convicted. Inmates may be
paroled, if their conducts warrants
it. In order that the inmate may
be induced to become good citizen
he is compelled to obey all the rules
of the institution, is held under strict
discipline, given good schooling
in all common branches, is taught
industrious, honest and regular
habits, and given employment in
some branch of industry-such as
shoemaking, making brooms, farm
ing, gardening, carpenter and mason
work, brick manufacturing, paint
ing, plumbing, and electric engi-
neering.
They have their recreations-
military drills, gymnastic exercises,
and games, while lectures and enter
tainments are given for their bene-
fit and interest. They are also re
warded for good conduct and for the
results of their industry. Some of
the inmates accumulate $500 or
5000 by their labor and good con-
duct.
The results of the methods in use
in this Reformatory have been very
encouraging. Few go back to their
old habits. OF the paroled inmates
II per cent remained faithful to
their obligations. At the present
time there are 2o8 young men in
the institution. The annual ex-
pense of the Reformatory to the
state is about $4,000 year. Some
thing like $4,000 has been invest
ed in real estate and buildings.
There are 238 acres Of land belong
ing to the institution and the reve-
nues equal the sum of about $4,000
annually-from the profitable in
dustries carried on under its con-
troll.

This admission is made by the Ma
tional Democratic convention. Vir-
tually, also, does the Democratic par
ty admit the unwisdom of the party's
opposition to expansion as effeced by
the Republican administration, a
scheme which the Democratic lead
ers opposed in Congress as did the
press. The foreign policy of the
government as pursued under Re-
publican administration is also ac-
knowledged by the Democratic
party to have been beneficial and
honorable. In fact Democrats prac-
tically admit that the country has
been better served by the Republic
an party in its active and effectual
conduct of public affairs than their
party, the Democratic, could have
served it.

"Machine politics" is stumbling
block to some. "The Sawyer
Spooner" machine was opposed be-
cause it was a ssmachine," and as
such effected predetermined results.
ssLet us kick over the old machine,

chine made of new material, con-
structed to work the will of one
man. In repudiating the old ma
chine and adopting the new one we
have dumped out of the frying pan
into the fire."

1t is source of satisfaction to
Republicans to have the Democrats
admit that we as party have been
right in establishing and maintain
ing the gold standard, while hey,
the Democrats, were wrong in ad-
vocating the policy of bi-metallism.

The Republican party found an
empty treasury and financially dis

elsewhere in any age and a financial

"Our Great Governor"

Some of our half breed exchanges
call the present incumbent of the
gubernatorial office in this state "our
great Governor, "the idol of the
people" "the chief executive" The
last phrase expresses doubtful
compliment. lie is not the 'schief'
executive. He is the "whole cheese"
There are no vice in this
state and these toadies who call him
with intended compliment the "chief
executive" overdo the compliments
ry with detriment. AS to his being
the "Great Governor de-
pends."
How big was Alexander, Pa,
That people called him great:
Was he like old Goliah tall,
His spear a hundred weight"
Or is he SO Supremacy great be-
cause he is bigger than the National
Republican Committee of 81 of the
most eminent statesmen in the ma
ton, one from each state the whole
Republican Convention of 1000
men-two from each Congressional
district in the states with four adj
ditional statesmen from each state?
greater than the Republican party?
greater than the United States?
That he considers himself "Great"
is shown in his reputation of the
National Republican convention,
heretofore acknowledged to be the
supreme authority in politics and
the announcement of his determine
ton to "appeal to higher author
ity," whatever chat may be.

Zachariah Hebert secured a license
from the clerks otfie at Franklin to
marry Miss Annie Hebert. After
the document had been issued, the
clerk was notified that they we're first
cousins, and the prospective mar
riage would therefore be illegal.
The officers Immediately dispatched
a deputy sheriff to serve notice on
the couple that they could not mar
ry according to the laws of the State,
As the officer approached Judge
Gains court he learned that the
ceremony had just been finished.
He served the notice, though too
late, the affair having already trans
PRED. The groom was arrested and
brought to Franklin and informed of
the crime he had committed, the
judgment of the court being that the
license was void and illegal. He
was released on a bond Of $500.
