"The American people, frura tradition
and interest, FAVOK D1METAI.L1SM, and
the Republican party demands trie use of
BOTH GOLD AND SILVER AS STANDARD
MONEY, with such restrictions and un
der such provisions, to be determined by
legislation, as will secure the mainten
ance of tho parity of values of the two
metals, eo that the purchaelnc and debt-
paying power of tho dollar, whether of
silver, cold or paper, shall be at all times
equal." Republican utlonal platfutm,
June 7, 18BJ.
The Religious Uarb Bill.
The defeat of the religious Barb bill
In the senate Tuesday Is liable to nils
construction. We trust that It will not
be construed to mean that the senate
of Pennsylvania favors the Introduc
tion of sectarian Influences In the fro
public schools, or has no word of ob
jection against the emploympnt. as
teachers in these achjoK of persons
who have previously, by sacred vows,
unreservedly dedicated their s?rvtces to
a particular church or fiLh. l( such a
view should be taken by any consider
able number of citizens throusa.ut the
commonwealth, it would be a serious
misfortune; and the senators who have
voted to kill the bill would be guilty of
grave error of Judgment.
It is not only constitutional, but It Is
also business-like that the public which
lays the salaries of Us public school
teachers should receive the undivided
allegtance of those teachers during
school hours. It la neither prudent nor
equitable to expect the state to share
this allegiance with any sect. Whether
the garb be that of a Protestant or a
Catholic religion makes absolutely no
difference; it Is objectionable In the
public school room whenever ft typlfles
a previous dedication of services Incom
patible with the service demanded and
paid for by the state. Anil public senti
ment should resist to the last any effort
to divide this responsibility, no matter
by whom put forth.
Upon these points there is no safe
room for any possible difference of pri
vate opinion or variation In public pol
icy. But; It may well be questioned
whether the proper place to regulate
the matter is not In the local boards of
control.' The men who serve on these
boards are usually men of practical
wisdom and discretion. They are in
touch with the people and as a rule can
be trusted to Impose such checks upon
the employment and supervision of the
instructors hired by them as will satis
fy the reasonable wishes of the people.
If it was the senate's intention to re
commit this problem to local solution,
good argument can ibe adduced In Justi
fication of Its course. Otherwise, It will
discover that It has made a mistake.
Secretary Carlisle's Position.
There Is a -general disposition
throughout the eastern and northern
states to view with favor that portion
of Secretary Carlisle's Covington
speech In which he says:
I am in favor of the preservation of the
existing standard of value with such use
of full legal-tender silver coins, and papir
convertible Into coin on demand, as an be
maintained without impairing or endan
gering the credit of the government or
diminishing the purchasing or debt-piy-ing
power of the money In the hands of
the people. This is neither gold monomet
allism nor silver monometallism, but It
means that .one standard or measure- of
value shall be maintained, and that all
forms of standard coins In uire shall lie
kept equal to that standard In the pur
chase of commodities and In the payment
of debts. Any policy which would dis
continue the use of silver as monoy, by di
rect legal enactment or by undervaluing
it relatively to gold In the coinage laws,
would certainly result In practical gold
monometallism, and,' on the other hand,
It Is equally clear that any policy which
would discontinue the une of gold as
money, by legal enactment or by under
valuing that metal relatively to silver in
the coinage laws, would result In praotlcal
silver monometallism, - -
We Interpret this assertion to have
reference, not to a single metallic unit
of coinage; but ito a unit governing the
standard weight and fineness of both
Cold amd silver, and retaining In all our
money the sovereign merit of Intercon
vertlbillty. The position is practically
Identical With that outlined by the last
Republican national convention; and if
Interpreted In a spirit of fairness
' toward silver can be Indorsed by all
classes Cf moderate blmetalllsts. We
do not believe that a programme em
bodying Independent and unlimited sil
ver oolnage at the ratio of 16 to 1 will
1 carry In this country so long as there
Is a reasonable prospect of an Interna
tional bimetallic agreement. The most
that friends of silver can expect is such
- a treatment of the American product
as will starve both the purposes of a
sound currency andtrelleve the western
states of the undeserved burden put
upon ithem by the recent unthinking
onslaught upon silver.
The action of Germany In moving for
Internattlonal concunreiice in a bimet
allic standard will dispose to further
patience many who would otherwise
be inclined to take some chances on In
dependent cffoi't. If ticaretary CurllHle
can promise that the president will do
his part toward furthering an Inter
national conference, his pica for caution-may
not prove Ineffectual. Mivt wc
Btlll aro of tho opinion that this quru
will nut be correctly solved until Re
publican statesmanship ahull solve it.
Servants or Autocrats, Which?
The claim of those street railway
managers who contend, regurdleus uf
tho facts, t'hat no safety fetuler has yet
been designed snllMeiUly meritorious to
fulfill their critical requirements Is that
they ought to have ithe privilege of
"running tholr own buslntjs lu their
own way." But is It their own IiunI
ness? Dors the public no longer pos
sess rlglita which a trolley corporation
is bound to respect?
The residents of our American cltlfs,
Sorunton Included, are all more or loss
vitally interested in luivlnn those ques
tions authoritatively answered. If a
street railway company, after acquiring
tho public's permission to use tho pub
lic's thoroughfares for purposes of pri
vate prollt. Is to enjoy powers 'trans
cending the powers of the public which
chartered It; and Is to continue, with
Impunity, to malm and murder people
because too uvarlclous to take reason
able ptv.-uutlon for their protection,
the fact phould be definitely known, so
that no further charters may be
granted.
The Impression existing anions the
lulty now Is that a corporation which
exists by public courtesy is still amen
able to public regulation; and that it is
high time this fact were recognised by
our law-making assemblies. If this im
pression Is erroneous, the people should
be so Informed. Whlletherels no wish to
deal unfairly with the trolley managers,
it Is essential to the public welfare that
these lordly beings be taught the full
measure of their responsibility to the
people. If they are under any responsi
bility; and that the obligations which
they now appear to ignore should. If
such longer exist, be made plain to them
beyond possibility of further evasion.
Hr. Piatt Talks.
Mr. Piatt has been interviewed by
'Gath." The result hs interesting. He
predicts Republican defeat in Xew York
this fall, and blames It on Mayor
Strong. The latter, he says, he "knew
very little about. He has broken prom
ises all around. He has brought in men
from other states and made a dumping
ground of them in Xew York, which is
resented by the political forces. One
man from New Jersey, another from
Newport, R. I., hold important places.
The most Important offlee he gave to
Waring, such an ill-regulated man that.
In addition to cleaning the streets, he
has assailed the self-respect of all the
soldiera. Strong, however, adheres to
him."
Nor Is the ex-senator's humor much
sweeter in relation to the man whom
he Is generally credited with having
nominated for governor. "Mr. Morton."
he says, "has not satisfied me. I think
the conditions under which one accepts
a political preferment ought to be as
good as any other promise. Mr. Morton
hesitated about accepting. He did not
know that his age and health would let
him serve. His wife was understood to
be opposed to his re-entering politic. I
think that she has th force of the fam
ily. My luck in sustaining public men
has bef-n often adverse. However, I
think that Governor Morton can obtain
the support of New York state In the
presidential convention if he wishes to
be a candidate. The governor does not
like to be made a target of. I think he
does protty much what the mugwumps
request of him."
Concerning his break with Mllhol-
land, Mr. Piatt says:
The commencement of the attacks upon
me was from the Mllholland organisation.
Mllholland was a reporter under Held, on
the Tribune. Ho It a smart fellow, ag
gressive, active, and without discretion. 1
rather humored his organisation, believing
that It would stimulate our regular or
ganization to activity. But the backers of
Mllholland resolved to make his experi
mental organisation the permanent city
organization. I told our country Repub
licans that they must sustain the regular
organization. Mr. Mllholland's backer
then threatened me. I told him to fight me
If he wanted to, but that In the long run
I thought he would be the greater suf
ferer. The city printing, worth $2Q,WHJ a
year, dropped out of his emoluments.
Orders had been left to attack me. Whn
they undertook a line of personal assault 1
served notice, however, upon tho Repub
lican party that I would convey soma
reminiscences which would not he pleasant
concerning the Garfield campaign of Vj.
From that time charges of corruption have
stoppsd. You asked me whelhcr Mllhol
land did not piece out tho Harrison ticket
In m. Yes, entirely so. President Har
rison, like many of the men I have had nn
understanding with, did not keep his word.
and after he was nominated I went up to
Senator Washburn's house, where I was
stopping In Minneapolis. Most of the New
York delegation also left the convention
hall. Twenty-seven delegates were left
to act for seventy-two. Thoy nominated
Mr. Rold, who brought the Indignation of
the labor vole down upon the ticket. Hut
I do not think Harrison could have been
elected In any event.
(Mr. Piatt scores Lemuel Ell Qulgg,
Theodore Roosevelt and several other
gentlemen with whom he has had cer
tain differences, and concludes a char
acteristic Interview with this remark
concerning Dr. Parkhurst: "He Is a
smart man, I think, from up Connecti
cut way. He ha Intellectual qualities,
particularly for formulation. My con
ception of htm, however, Is that he is
consumed with the passion for noto
riety and Importance, not uncommon
with preachers of the goepel who work
up another celebrity than that, of pas
tors. Again, he Is partly cracked, I
think. When he gets going he has very
little control over himself. ' Of course,
a man of his velocity and high, self-es
teem will have some following for a
time."
No oomment Is necessary on the fore
going statements. Rut If advice be In
order, we should soy, with apologies to
Senator Quay: "Dear Piatt don't
talk."
Alluding to the approaching conven
tion of the Republican National league
the esteemed Comerclul-Ousette of
Pittsburg says: "The work of tho Re
publican national convention must be
left solely' to thut body, nnd any at
tempt to p.ntlrlpnte, forestall or direct
It a y .nr In advance would be not only
futile but harmful." If our conlem
poruty wihet to suggest thut such on
attempt Is probable at Cleveland, next
month, it probably labors under a hal
lucination. Tho National leugue, since
'ts oiKiiiilxotton, hit" exhibited a thor
ough appreciation of Its functions and
limitations; and the same Is true of
most, if not all, the slate orgunlsuitlons.
It is not claimed In any quarter that
tiie league can bind tho Republican
pnlty lo its deliverances, but as a rep
resentative assemblage, the league con
vention Is entitled to express Its opin
ions and would bo derelict If It did not
express them. Our Pittsburg contem
porary may dismiss any possible four
that tho league does not understand its
place.
Whatever may be the legiit Btatus of
Mayotr Nichols' vigorous fijrht upon the
social evil in Wllkos-llarrv, there Is no
doubt that his intentions ure good, and
that our neighboring city stands In need
of Just such u refornioitlon.
.
Puvld Martin euys he is satisfied;
Senator Quay is eure that ho ie; and
the remainder of the state, from all re
ports, appear to bo doing us well as
could be expected. Let us have peace.
WISE ASP OTHERWISE.
The ceeentrle artist, Whistler, Is nn
American by birth, though a story Is told
of his claiming to have come direct from
heaven. It seems that one of his models,
after having posed a surprisingly long
timo In silence, broke out: "Mr. Whistler,
where wore you born?" "t never was
born, my child." he replied. "I descended
from on high." And she exclaimed:
"Now that Just shows how easily we de
ceive ourselves In this world. I should
much sooner have said you came up from
be'.ow." Whistler, by the way, has quar
reled with Raffaeli, the great French im
pressionist. The other day when Whistler
was mentioned to him Mr. ItuflfiiiMI
laUKhed with great gusto and said: "Oh,
he Is an extraordinary man, that Whistler.
1 had some meeting's with him, and tho
last was a bad meeting, very bad, and
now Mr. Whistler does not know Mr.
Raffaelll, and Mr. Kattaelll does not know
.Mr. Whistler."

That our sober solons at Harrlsburg
occasionally relax will readily be granted
when one has read this little episode In
the Philadelphia Record: Representative
Sam Cochrane, of Armstrong, wan show
ing the sights to several of his rural
constituents and Introducing them to the
big men about the legislative halls. After
doing the rounds. Representative Kow and
others Joined the party and enacted a
little farce-comedy for the benefit of the
countrymen, one of whom talked fluently
of his services In the t'nlon army and how
he had led the charae at Chlrkamaugn.
"Look out," said some ono, pointing to
Fow, "there la an old rebel soldier."
"What! a rebel In the Pennsylvania legis
lature!" exclaimed the astonished coun
tryman. "Yes," said Fow, "I served In the
Third Louisiana Tigers and helpod to
turn your left flunk at Chlcamuuga."
Some hot words followed and Fow, almost
exploding with laughter, began to pull off
his coat. Cochrane began to do the same
and Jumped In to help his constituents.
The lights were turned off, the table upset
and, to cap the climax, one of those pres
ent drew a toy pistol. That settled It.
The "hero of t'hlikamauga" thought
everything was In dead earnest and as
soon as he could break loose he made a
dash for the door and flew up the stairs
Ilk a flash. At 3 a. m. Cochrane was still
Searching for his missing constituent,
while his friends wuro sore from laughing.
WIIERR:
Whore are the birds whose promised song
Was rudely quenched by cruel frost?
Where aro the sunbeams thnt ero now

Where are the flowers whose perfume
Should freight the breezes as they blow,
And where, oh, where, Is the straw hat
That decked the street some time ago?

Wo have all heard of tho sorrowing rela
tive who, after mournfully telling about
the sadness of his kinsman's death,
brightened up at the thought that the
corpse was so beautifully laid out that the
family wns "tickled to death." A story
In the same vein Is narrated by Henry
Clay Dnrnnhce, tho Inimitable comedian
of the Rostonlans. It Is a story Illustra
tive of the undying master passion of the
actor. An actor who plays Juvenile roles
met a leading man on Rrondwny, The
lending man was dressed in deep Itlnck,
Thero was a wide band of cropo on his
hat, and ho had discarded tho patent
leather shoes an actor loves for shoes
with subdued polish that spoke of grief.
"What's the matter?" asked the Juvenile.
"My father Is dead," answered the leading
man In a heart-broken voice The Juvenile
expressed his sympathy. "When did he
die?" he asked. "Last week. We burled
him today a nice funeral," answered the
heart-broken voice, "Large attendance?"
asked the Juvenile. "Largo attendance!"
he cried. "My boy, we turned thorn
away." ,

The man from Wllkes-Barre had spoken
long and lavishly In praise of his city, and
tho Scrantonlan gave signs of growing un
enslness. Finally he begged the Wllkes
llarreun's permission to repeat a story
once told to him by a young lawyer of the
Luzerne bar who had pussed one summer
camping out in Colorado. Ho said that
while going from his ramp one day to get
some provisions he was startled by the ap
proach of a large grizzly bear. He had
neglected to arm himself, there was not a
tree in sight, and apparently no avenuo
of escape. It was a desperate position,
demanding quick action. He noticed a
hollow log lying near by. The opening
was Just largo enough for a man of his
size to squeeze through. He managed to
crawl Inside as the bear was about upon
him. The bear kept him a prisoner for
some time. In the meantime it had begun
to rain and to his horror the log began to
swell, squeezing him like a vise. He be
gan to realize his time was short for this
world. The Wllkes-Uarreon, who had
been listening intently to the narrative.
Inquired how the lawyer succeeded In free
ing himself from his perilous position.
The Scrantonlan replied thut a happy
thought struck him. He Just remembered
thut he had once been a resident of
Wllkes-Barre and It made him feel so
small that he began to shrink until he was
not over one-half his ordinary size. At
this point the conversation abruptly
ended.
EXPLAINED:
She had been putting away the winter
clothing for the summer. She spent some
time examining her sealskin sacque, and
finally remarked to her husband:
"Henry, we've been cheated."
"How?"
"Tills Is not genuine seal fur. I'm sure
of It. You told me that you paid the very
highest figure for It. Now, how do you
account for the deception?"
"Why, my dear, I can't account for It
unless" and his face brightened with n-
splrutlon "unless the seals have gotten
Into the way of wearing falso hair."

Kdith Sessions Tupper has at last dis
covered why Mrs. Frank Leslie married
Willie Wilde. It appears that Wilde had
regularly asked Mrs. Leslie to marry him
for several years, but she hud always re
fused, saying she did not care to marry
again. Rut one day In London Wilde was
to be Mrs. Leslie's escort to a private
view of some famous paintings. Mrs.
I.iHlle had a gorgeous, a marvelous Paris
ian gown, fresh from hor tailor, for the
oucuslun, and came Into the room chlo
nnd swagger from top to toe. "Well,
Willie," she suld, gayly, "you will have the
satisfaction of knowing thut you are es
corting the best-dressed woman at the
exhibition today." Wilde regarded her
closely for an Instnnt; then, turning up
the sleeve of his shiny coat, he scrutinized
It sharply. "Quite a contrast between you
and me," ho said, sadly. The contrast
suddenly smote Mrs. l-sllo and set her
womanly sympathies astir. "Here Is this
man," she thought, "of talent, education
and Intellect shabbily clothed, living from
hand to mouth. Ho loves me. Why
should I not marry him, put him at the
head of my business and give him an
opportunity In lire? We can work to
gether end In each other's Interest."
And so, pitying him, she married him to
give him a chance In the world, and
Willie repaid her by gutting drunk as a
boiled owl on their wedding night.

POLITICAL NOTES.
Recent events would seem to Indicate
thut Benator Quay still has considerable
Influence In the house at Harrlsburg, as
well as In the senate.
An admirably Illustrated pamphlet con
talnlng the call of President Tracy for
next month's national convention at
Cloveluiid, O., of the League of Republican
clubs, the programme of the convention,
articles descriptive of points of Interest
In und about Cleveland, and much other de
sirable Information has been Issued by the
general entertainment committee, con
sisting of F. H. Morris, chairman; II. N.
Hill, secretary, and C. F. lach, treasurer.
The prospectus will be almost indispensa
ble to all who contemplate attending this
niugnltlcont gathering of the young Re
publicans of the nation; and may be read
with prollt by those who do not.
A non-partisan cumpulgn of education
on tho question of sound money will be
Inaugurated la the Philadelphia Acudotny
of Music on Tuesday evening next,
when addresses Will be made by ex
Senator Edmuudes, William L. Tron
holm, now of New York, who was comp
troller of the currency, under President
Cleveland's first administration; Hon. Ml
chaul D. Darter, ex-mumber of congress
from Ohio; Charles Emory Smith and
others. The meeting has been orgunlsed
by President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
Itullroud company; John 11. Converse, of
tho ltuldwln Locomotive works; Joseph
Wharton, of the Bethlehem Iron compuny;
Charles H. Crump, of the well-known ship
building llrm; William Suiters and John
Hellers.
Ex-Congressman R. G. Horr has Issued
an unique challenge to W. II. Harvey, au
thor of "Coin's Financial School," to de
bute the silver question. Ho suggests that
Mr. Horr and Mr. Harvey meet lu a con
venient room In Chicago for four eucess
Ivo evenings. They will have us an audi
ence no other persons thun four stenog
raphers, und a Jury consisting of three,
each of the dubators choosing one referee
and tho two thus chosen to select a third.
The arguments of each evening will, after
tho stenographer's notes have been tran
scribed, be compacted so us to make one
hundred printed puges, thus for the four
evenings there will be four hundred
printed puges, each of the contestants to
have nearly oh possible one half. Not un
til this novel debate has boeu printed will
the public be permitted to know anything
about the arguments. The book will be
publtehed at a reasonable cost, and the
expectation Is that It will command an

' of
A child born on this day will be Inclined
to believe that a fow supreme court opin
ions in advance would save this country
many dollars In preventing the passage of
measures that will not stand constitu
tional muster.

The smile of a fair maiden Is not always
proof that she has been fascinated. It Is

brow on his upper Up,
Keep away from the muzzle of a gun
that "Is not loaded" on this day.
