Davis and Towne,

AT the meeting at Wheeling last night
there was an exhibition of the division that
still exists in the democratic party on the
money question. The stars of the occasion
were Henry G. Davis and ex-senator
Towne. Mr.. Davis has been gold stand
ard man all along. but supported Mr.. Bryan
in both of the latters races for the presf-
dency. He subscribes. as Judge Parker
does to the doctrine of party regularity.
He would be regular though the heavens
fell. Mr.. Towne was so much of a silver
man in 1898 that he left the republican
party because of its declaration in favor of
gold. He planted himself upon the propo-
sition that it is better to be right than to
be regular.
Mr. Davis last night again committed
himself to the gold standard. and declared
that it is irrevocably fixed. This from him
means that the question does not depend on
the future of the mining industry. A falling
off in the uncovering of the yellow metal
would not make the free coinage of the white
metal necessary. for that. in any circum-
stances would be hnwise and disastrous.
The democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent really stands with the republicans on
the money question.
Mr.. Towne, on the other hand, is still for
silver. Speaking of the money issue he said
last night:
You outvoted us on that, but God bless
ed both of US and gave this country $780,
100000 more gold. Had it not been for that
the past eight years would have been eight
years of misery. My objection to gold was
that it was modest and retiring. l could
not get close enough to 1t. Under the pres
ent conditions 1 am entirely satisfied. If
conditions change the financial question will
open itself"
There is no recantation here, but, rather,
a note of triumph. Mr.. Towne believes that
he was right in 1896. and. given similar con-
dtions again, he will again advocate the
free and unlimited coinage of silver. He is
as much against the gold standard per Sc
the double standard of silver and gold as
he ever was. He will take his in
future. not from the established policy of
the government-for he denies that the gold
standard is irrevocably fixed-but from the
yields of the gold mines. If they keep up,
we'll and good Mr.. Towne will address him
self to other subjects. If they fall off, Mr..
Towne will again ascribe any and all ills
that may exist to the single gold standard,
and re-enlist for it's overthrow.
Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Towne are as far apart
on the money question as Mr.. Davis and
Henry Watterson are on the tariff ques-
ton. but all three in this remarkable cam
paign are standing the same platform.

Beauty Not a Fatal Gift.
From the New York Mail.

Ii.
A professor in Philadelphia business
college has informed a local reporter that
beauty is an obstacle to the employment of
women in business houses. In Philadelphia.
II seems, BUSINESS men do not, when they
advertise for stenographer add the
words. mo pretty girl need apply" but
trey go on that principle. 1t appears that
they rear frivolity as an accompaniment of
beauty. 1t is possible that this is good
and safe rule in Philadelphia, but it is GER
tainly not rule that is honored here, and
we DOUBT II 1t Is in any city where feminine
beauty. is not so rare as to excite suspicion
when it occurs. Nor is there the slightest
ground for the assumption that a pretty
woman is likely to be any more frivolous
than plain one The gift of beauty may,
indeed, be fatal if no strength go with it,
but the newer, the sounder chivalry of our
modern time assumes that goodness goes
with beauty as normally among women as
it does throughout the whole gamut of
nature.

The Disappearing Lobster.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
There was time when call for lob
sters at a dining room would produce
specimens that might be viewed by the
naked eye, but if the poacbers continue
their depredations on the breeding grounds
it will not be long before microscopes will
be needed to them-the Holsters, not
the poachers, for the latter are in plain
sight. and are doing their work under the
noses of the authorities. The law says that
no lobster shall be sold that is less than
ten inches in length. The poachers say that
all are Holsters that come into their nets,
and they find a market for them, some
where. Prices have risen to a scandalous
extreme, and the fish not worth half
SO much, nor are they a third SO large, as
when prices were half as high The fact
is. the lobster is threatened with exter-
mination. like the buffalo, the antelope, the
nOn-union workman and Havana tobacco.
1t is a law in nature and economics that
one cannot forever take away without add
ing something to be taken. The time has
almost arrived for the Holsters vacation.

New Models i'm Corsets.

The day of the stiff, angular
"stay" has vanished into the past,
and the corset of today conforms
easily to the shape of the wearer, in
stead of forcing the wearer to con-
form to the lines of corset, and at
the same time it gives the effect of
fashionable contour and stylish
poise demanded by the mode.
We are now showing Our COM
plete stock of domestic corsets and
several new Paris models for fall
and winter, and call attention to the
following well-tried sorts:

"Ldttle" Japan Not So Small,

From the New York World.
Most of our maps of Asia are drawn to a
small scale. and on such maps, remarks the
Worlds Work. the Japanese archipelago
fills little space. But she is. larger than
England and more populous She has
100000 more people than France She
sent six armies over sea within six months
every one Of which was as big as either
army that met at Waterloo. She has sent
to Manchuria twice as many soldiers in six
months as England sent to South Africa in
two wears.

An Overwhelming Endorsement

How fashions change from day to day,
From colors grave to colors gay!
From fluff to fiounce, from fiounce to friIl
My lady doth pursue them STILL
But nature turns from skies of blue
To autumn clouds of somber hue.
And gayly broiders every hill,
And keeps the patterns shifting still.
Cost what it may, tbs all in vain
That men grow sorry and complain.
The meadows and the skies all say
That fashions change from day to day.

Restrict Sale Of Weapons.
,e Chicago Record Herald

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Reports of the crimes that are committed
in this city prove that the law against car
rying concealed weapons is of very little
practicai value. Apparently thugs expert
ence no difficulty whatever in procuring re-
volvers, though an open registry of sales is
provided for. and once they are equipped
discovery is mere matter Of chance.

Contractionists.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The phrase ''anti-expansionist" is being
constantly misused Those who oppose the
union of Canada with this country or the
annexation of the Danish West Indies are
properly anti-expansionists Those who
want to give up the Philippines may be-
and probably Neutrality-suspicious. But
they are more than that They are not
only against boundary enlargement but
they want the present boundaries con-
tracted. Exactness requires that they
should be described not as "anti-expansion.
iSts but as 'contractiOnists"
