THE GOLD STANDARD.
England. In 1916, Was the First OF
the Nations to Adopt 1t.

England. In 1916, Was the First of
the Nations to Adopt 1t.
The first nation to adopt the gold
standard was England. She adopted
the gold standard nominally in 1916,
but practically not until three years
later, for in 1916 England was on the
paper basis. Germany, which adopted
the single silver standard In 1857, took
steps toward the establishment of the
gold standard in 1871, but 1t was not
until July, 1878, that she demonetized
silver, undertook to melt down her sill
yer coin, sell 1t for gold and establish
the single gold standard. The Scandi.
navian nations adopted the single gold
standard at the same time. In Septem-
ber, 1873, France restricted the free
coinage Of silver and three years later
entirely suspended such coinage, but
has never undertaken to discard the
silver coin she has in use or to treat 1t
otherwise than as on an equality with
gold. The action Of France In restrict
Ing and then suspendfng the coinage
Of silver ON private account was fol-
lowed by the other nations Of the Latin
union-Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and
Greece-and Spain suspended the coin
age Of silver In 1878. Holland, which
had established the single silver stand
ard In place of the bimetallic standard
in 1S47, suspended the coinage Of silver
In 1872 and opened her mints to the
coinage Of gold on private account In
1S77.-Watson's Magazine.

INCiTED MUTINY.
An English Admiral Once Did Thia
by Royal Command.

An English Admiral Once Did This
by Royal Command.
Not only did an English admiral once
receive instructions to incite his men
to mutiny, but he actually carried his
instructions out.
On the eve of the death of James L.,
and as a result Of Prince Charles mar
riage to Henrietta Maria, Buckingham
agreed to lend the Vanguard and sew
en- merchantmen to the French. Be-
fore his promise was fulfilled the Eu-
guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,
and by the time Sir John Pennington,
who had been put in command, was
ready to sail the authorities in England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
Buckingham was conscious of the
storm of indignation this would arouse
In England. In his perplexity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
instruct Pennington to get his men to
mutiny. A secret message to this ef-
feet was sent him through the Earl Of
Pembroke, and Sir John, who had no
wish to hand the ships over to the
French, obeyed and allowed his crew
to carry him and his officers back to
England.

HARMAN THE
CANDIDATE

Hon. John G. Harman is the Dem
ocratic candidate for this 26th Ju-
dicial District. His majority over
Mr.. Herring in the district is 70.
Mr.. Harman is one of the most
popular of Columbia county's bar,
and has been an honor to the State
by his able and willing services in the
Legislature. He will add dignity to
the court by dealing out justice to the
masses.
On Tuesday, the day of Columbia's
convention, we meandered leisurely
in the midst of the throngs of the
streets of Bloomsbury, to hear words
of praise rise on all sides for our fu
ture President Judge. Not single
word of disappointment or condem-
nation was uttered against him. Of
course it was another Harman day,
and everybody was for Harman, and
will be at the general election next
November.
Mr.. Herring will withdraw and all
his late supporters will unhesitatingly
come over to the Harman forces and
help wage the grand victory that will
be ours. Harmony will reign serene
and the bitter contest just closed will
be forgotten.
The State rule determines that in
cases like the one existing in the pres
ent judicial result, the State Execu-
tive Committee will be called upon
to decide in favor of the one having
the larger vote in the district, and the
only way that two Democratic can
didates can be in the race for election,
is by announcing Independently. This
we are sure Mr.. Herring will not do,
but will endeavor to enhance his al
legiance and loyalty to Democracy by
pulling off his coat and casting his
best support in behalf of Hon. John
G. Harman for President Judge.

Columbia County Convention

With the exception OF Conyngnam
West North, where the counting of the
vote was interrupted by fight, the
official returns had been received from
all districts by the county chairman
before the time set for the Democratic
convention at Bloomsbury Tuesday
morning.
After the meeting was called to order
by County Chairman, Clinton Her
ring, DR.. Hover, of Mifflinville, as
sumed control as temporary secretary.
W. Q. Johnston, Esq, and Clinton
Herring were named for permanent
chairman. Herring withdrew, and
Johnston was elected.
A great many expected stormy ses-
sion and looked for an uprising, but
they were doomed to disappointment,
as everything moved off quietly, the
Hartman men predominating, and Mr..
Harman himself being much in evid-
ence. When he entered the hall at the
opening of the convention, he was
greeted with loud and continued ap-
| plause. Mr.. Herring did not appear
at the convention.
The following resolution was then
passed.
| Whereas the official return of the
vote as cast at the primary election on
Saturday shows the following named
candidates have been endorsed by the
| Of CnIr, III proci
Judge, John G.. Harman; Congress,
John G. McHenry State Senator, j..
Henry Cochran; Legislature, W. T..
Greasy Sheriff, O. B. Ent, There
fore be it resolved that said candidates
be empowered to select their own con-
ferrees.
John G. Harman was called upon for
a speech and amid much applause ad-
dressed the assembly. He thanked the
voters for the supporS they had given
him, was duly appreoiatiye of the high
honor conferred upon him and fully
realized the responsibility and high
duty which had been placed upon his
shoulder. He said he would if placed
in the Office, perform all duties con-
nected Herewith without partiality OF
fear or favor; no man or gang of men
would control or influence him in the
performance of this duty and this
court would be such that rich or poor,
weak or strong could come with full
confidence of securing justice.
John G. McHenry was next called
upon and responded with an able plea
to the voters of this Congressional dis
trict and Columbia county in particu-
lar to stand by their party ticket.
Hon. William T. Greasy was next
called for but he was not present in
the hall.
Included in the resolutions adopted
were the following:
Resolved, that the delegates to the
State Convention this day chosen be
instructed to present the name of Hon.
| William L. Greasy, to the Democratic
State Convention, to be held at Harris
burg on Wednesday, June the 27th, for
the office of Governor and to use all
honorable means to secure his nomina-
| tion.
That the Democracy of Columbia
county review with satisfaction the
long and honorable service of ]. Henry
Cochran in the State Senate as rep
resentative of this district. A man of
the highest integrity and ability, the
value of his faithful service has been
enhanced by experience, his unanimous
nomination for the fourth time is
just reward for fidelity, therefore and
we pledge the democracy OF the coun-
ty to an earnest and vigorous effort
for his reelection by an increased ma
| jority.

4 Point In Punctuation,

For century past, probably longer.
lie rule Of the best printers and pub
fishers has been, "Three words In the
same construction are separated by
commas" Two examples will Illus
trate the rule:
"John, James and Thomas have come"
As SO punctuated the first name is
vocative, the second and third nomina-
tive. Two persons have come.
John, James, and Thomas have come"
And now the three names are all
nominatives. Three persons have come.
The two meanings can be indicated
otherwise only by foGtnote. - New
York Times.
