The lluaic Hall Convention. The gathering of Mr. Bolnnd's follow er! at Music Hall yesterday was a novel affair when considered in the light of a Democratic convention, It was notuble for the absence or silence of the major ity of leaders who have been known In Lackawanna's Democracy in years past. The places of nearly all of the conservative Democrats who have been in the front rank of the contingent that generally comes to grief, at the polls, were filled by the converts of Mr. Roland's teachings as the original sil ver man of Lackawanna county. The convention was void of onthuslam and contained no features of special In terest save the inflammable utterances of one of the upper valley boy orators, whose remarks had no bearing upon the Issues of the day, though the speaker was requested by a member of the audi ence to talk on the sliver question. The Altgeldlan oration of the speaker was not relished by the listeners and his re marks were unworthy of comment, ex cept as a novelty In the way of wild oratory. The ticket nominated is not composed of timber that will arouse unusual inter est In the ranks of the disorganized Democracy of the county. Mr. Merrl field, who was tendered the congress ional nomination, has had experience not calculated to kindle enthusiasm, In case he concludes to again accept the empty honor of a nomination. Upon a. former occasion on an "off year" with many elements in his favor, Mr. Merrlfleld was defeated by a major ity of two .thousand, and he can scarce ly expect on a Presidential year against a united and harmonious party, to bet ter the record. Taken upon the whole the ticket selected yesterday is one that will no doubt assist In making easy In November the victory In the interest of the party of protection and sound money. The fact that President Cleveland has as yet expressed no opinion con cerning the Indianapolis ticket has caused some remark. But, then, Mr. Cleveland's opinions In such cases are not as valuable as in days gone by, and It Is probable that the band will play just the same. A Code of Rules Needed. The Chicago News suggests that somebody should write a treatise on etiquette for presidential candidates. The man who accepts the honors and responsibilities of a nomination for the highest office In the land has to act in accordance with a peculiar and vaguely defined code, and no observant, person who has watched William Mc KInley or William Bryan during the last few weeks can have failed to note the fact. Four months ago both Mr. McKlnley and Mr. Bryan were Independent pri vate citizens, and no one paid very much attention whether or not they acted like other people. Suddenly they became presidential candidates, and, with the new honor, there has been a change. They must shake hands with every body who chooses to come forward for a shake. They must dodge around through the alleys if they wish to be un observed. If they want to ride through the streets In an open carriage they must ride bareheaded at the risk of catching cold and paying a doctor's bill. If anybody In the crowd yells "Speech" they are expected to speak whether they have anything to say or not. They can't go to bed when they want to. and If they are In bed they can't tell when they must get up to meet the demand of some Imperious crowd of admirers. Whatever they say must be couched In guarded words. Every man In the crowd has the right to Interrupt with questions, and ea"h candidate must be expected to be ready to defend himself upon the spot. Somebody, therefore, ought t Intro duce a code of tint's In defense of the poor candidates. So many speeches for so many people, so many shakes of the hands and so many hat-tlpplngs per diem the whole thing should be regulated by programme. If not,1 the presidential candidates will be driven to take, .refuge In hospitals and asylums. "I do not know what yon think about it, hut I believe that It Is a good deal better to open the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open up the. mints of the United States to the silver of the world." WILLIAM M'KINLEY. The Expense of a Change. In contemplation of the proposition to change the basis of American currency from gold to silver, an expert has given some startling figures in a recent issue of the Bingham ton Republican. Of course, dropping from a hundred cents basis to a fifty cents basis will cut every debt in two in the middle and Give the- debtor one-half while the creditor will expect to pocket the other half. There are due to the savings bank de positors $81,810,597,023. There are due to the building and loan fund associations 1450,667,954. There will be due to the life insurance policy holders $1,136,061, 796. The fire insurance policies of the United States amount to $1,332,225,190. The' pensions ior one year amount to $139,807,337, making a grand total of $4,909,358,946. Besides these there Is the national debt of nearly $1,000,000,000, the state debts of. $229,000,000, county debts of $146,000,000, municipal dctbs of $123. 000,000, school district debts of $137,000, 000, besides the railroad stocks and mortgages and the awful farm mort gages about which the free sliver ad vocates are walling. The total silver currency of the world amounts to $4,070,500,000; and the total silver currency of the United Btates amounts to $625,600,000. Halving all the sayings banks deposits, building and loan association stocks, life and fire In surance policies, and pensions, railroad securities and public debts of every de scription In the interest of the Bllver in the United States, or all the silver In the world, would entail an appalling in jury, and result In only slight benefits to a select and mischievous few. Jesse R. Grant, son of the greatest general of modern times, is out with a letter announcing that he favors free Bllver. Jesse married a western stiver mine and naturally regrets that his il lustrious father had a hand In the "out rage of '73." Keep Up the Battle. The warning of Chairman Hanna that the friends of sound money should not become over confident on account of the victory in Vermont and the gen eral change of sentiment in districts where a few weeks ago free sliver was the idol, Is wise and timely. While the Eastern and Middle states are undoubt edly safe for McKlnley, there is yet much work before the Western and Southern campaigners. Advocates of good government and sound money should not be caught napping no mat ter how bright may be the prospects of easy victory. The people should not be content simply in electing Major McKlnley, but should elect him by ma jorities that will effectually banish the Idea In some quarters that this country is wavering between patriotism and anarchy. In addition, the election of a sound money house and a reduction of the Popocratlc vote In the United States senate ore objects hardly less Import ant than the election of McKlnley. The sound money fight should he prosecuted everywhere to the end, as If the result were still as much In doubt as it seemed to be a month or two ago. The thing most to be desired is to settle at once and for good an issue which will have no possible ground after November to rise up again as a disturber of Ameri can Industry. The Washington Post, In commenting upon Senator Palmer, the Indianapolis gold Democratic nominee for president, says that not only has the Indianapolis nominee out-Altgelded Altgeld and out Tlllmaned Tillman, but he ha3 in tho past been a vigorous advocate of sli ver. The files of the Illinois State Reg ister show that as Its editor Senator Palmer used all the arguments being employed by the advocates of silver at the present time. Can It be possible that the Indianapolis gathering has been swindled by the ancient gold brick enterprise? Plain Talk. The New York "Sun" puts the case against silver in this common-sense way: "The people Ere not fools. 'Show ua whore your silver theory is working as you promise it would work here,' they ask of the Bryan crowd. Suppose It doesn't work according to your theory, for theories do not always work, where shall we be?' Naturally enough, Bryan, who has nothing to lose and everything to gain, would like to ride the hobby Into the White House, but it will surely carry us to ruin if he happens to be mistaken about it, and financial and business opinions almost unlvernally agree that he is wrong. Under such circumstances what must be the de cision of every citizen who keeps his head level? He will stand by the stand ard of which he Is sure, and which pre vails throughout prosperous and pro gressive civilization. The silver men ask htm to make a step which at leat Involves tremendous risk. They oTer him mere theory as opposed to actual demonstration. They counsel htm to discard the gold standard adopted by all the most enlightened and the rich est (Countries of the world, and to set up the ,Mver standard of Mexico, of Asia, and of South America, all of them far behind In wealth, In industry, com merce, and the social development of their people." There seems no question that such considerations as these will have a de termining influence -upon conservative voters who will be satisfied to let well enough alone. A Many readers will no doubt experience a feeling of sadness over the announcement of the passing of tennis. In swell resorts Interest In the game Is rapidly dying out and In many Instiiaces clubs have been disbanded. Tennis has many admirers ev erywhere in the ranks of spectators as well as expert players. An exchange dwells poetically upon the dlsuandment of a club somewhat as follows: "It was one of the prettiest spots In town In 1 popular days, when the afternoon sun threw the long shadow of the club house athwart the grounds, and every court was occupied by gayly-clnd men and wo men, playing vigorously that gracefullest of games; when the plaxzas are crowded as in an afternoon reception, with tho added resemblance that Imonade and tea and cakes and wafers went the rounds. On tournament days an lrrldesccnt flood overflowed on to the lawn, and In streams of which the parasols made varlous-hued bubbles and the flowered hats such vege table drift as never was. they islanded the emerald creen courts." Tls true! And what more interesting sight can one behold than three of four slender youths clad in white pants and negligee shirts hopping about on a section of pounded earth In pursuit of a rubber ball? Tennis Is a game that requires deep thought as well as agility. If a ball conus over the net, one must be on the alert to meet It. An instant of hesitation and a point Is lost. It is true that there ar no blenching board features in tennis, and the game furnishes no tragedies for the press in the way of slaughtered umpires or spiked runners, or broken heads and ribs, like the great national games of haso ball and foot hall. Yet there 1a a fascina tion about the apollo-llko pose of the tennis player that charms the eye, and as an athletic amusement that may be In dulged in without loss of life and limb it has no equal. Hut the die Is cast. Ciolf has succeeded the game almost entirely as an amusement in metropolitan society, nnd as a matter of course it will soon be shelved with croquet In suburban locali ties. Lovers of the beautiful will feel a pang of regret at the passing of tennis. There has always been a charm in the at titude of the tennis maiden or young man that is Irresistible even when the fair par ticipants are bathed in vulgar perspiration! They say that you are stopping at a swell boarding house? Yes we have dried apples at every meal. The antics of the selfish bicycle rider are the cuuse of much condemnation every where, and as an exchange remarks, if the bicycle rider wants to have his ma chine popular among those who do not ride, he should frown down the selfishness that crops out on so many occasions. There are hosts of riders In Scranton who do not seem to understand the elements of common decency. An example of the hog bicycle rider of Scranton was given a few days since when one of the ungain ly specimens came whirling around the corner near St. Peter's cathedral and knocked down a girl who was probably fourteen or fifteen years of age. Did he offer to help the young woman up and apol ogize for his carelessness? Not a bit of It. He soundly berated the frightened-girl for not getting out of the way and Jumo Ing on to his wheel rode rapidly away. This city has too many riders of the above calibre. ' Mary Elizabeth Lease claims to have been "Melted with passion at the grandeur of the Hudson river scenery." We aro glad to be able to announce that Mary pulled herself together sufficiently to get bnck to Kansas. Many persons will doubtless be inclined to smile at accounts of the funeral given by a Baltimore woman to her pet dog the other day and perhaps make unkind re marks at the unnecessary fuss over the ie malns of a dead dog which could have been better utilized In a soap factory. Yet this extreme Is more pleasant to con template than the action of cruel people who abuse dumb animals. Too frequently may be Been examples of the fiendish pro. pensitles of creatures who pass for men in the treatment accorded to nnliri.ils. It wo must have extremes let the dog funerals be more frequent. POLICY HOLDERS AND SILVER. Pittsburg Dispatch. The excitement In Canada over the free silver nrrttntlon, as affecting life Insurance held by the Canadians In companies of the United Slates, is a- very interesting Illus tration of its workings. The principal part of the life Insurance In Canada Is in com panies of this nation. The premiums paid by the Canadians aggregate about $3,500, 0U0 annually. These payments for many years have been taken by our companies and Invested In tile United States. Now theCanadlnns nre moved by the threat of free Fllver to Inquire what money their policies are to be paid in at maturity. The Canadian policy holders say with a great deal of force that eevery dollar they have put into life insurance has been of gold value. Tiny l ave paid In the gold standard nnd they think it no mow than justice that their heirs shall be paid back In the gold standard. The life insuraneo companies do not deny this, but they say with equal force that they cannot help tliemselvc'3. They have invested their as sets in mortgages and securities which are to be subjected to the reduction of stand ard if the free silver Idea is triumphant. The only resources that they will have to pay In are to be silver resources! If they should use up more of them In order to buy gold In which to pay foreign policies, it would be simply taking away from the lo meslic policy holders a share of the as sets belonging to them and Inflicting a loss on them in silver. As President Harrison said the other day, the silver proposition "coerces Integrity." Iiut tho explanation does not satisfy the Canadians. A meet ing of them In Halifax, the other day, passed resolutions requesting the compa nies to name a cash price for the surren der of all policies, accompanied by a plain declaration that they will take what they can get and never do any more business of that Bort with a nation whose politics possess such possibilities of discredit. This, of Itself, is not very gratifying to the patriotic feelings; but It is not all of it by any means. The fact Is that the 4,000,00) to 5.000.(100 policy holders of the United States are in exactly the same po sition as the lw.ouo policy holders of Can ada, with one difference. Tho policy hold ers of the United States have n vote on tho matter, and those of Canada do not. Otherwise their positions aro identical. Tho policy holders of the United States have paid all their premiums on the gold basis; the accumulation of those premiums has been Invested In bonds and mort gages; as a rule, which applies more close ly to life Insurance than to any other class of business, these savings of the mass are loaned to men of larger propeny than the policy holders; and the free sil ver idea is that the people will be bene fited by letting the rich men pay back their poorer creditors In dollars of less value than they obtained. The life Insurance policy holders, the savings bank depositors, the building and loan members, the United States pen sioners, should all understand that they are attacked by exactly the same com pulsory cheat that is aglthtlng the Can adian policy holders. When they do un derstand it the infliction of such injuries on the eredit and good name of the nation will be no longer possible. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope Drawn hf AJaochns .

It was announced hy circulating a hand-bill got up in this style: J. II. Foraker'a Brother-ln-Law, THE HON. J. H. COBB, Will Address The Silver Club. At Democratic Headquarters, Odd Fellows' Building, Tonight! There was a procession of eleven men, and Mr. Cobb, whose wife happens to be a sister of Mrs. J. B. Foruker, addressed an enthusiastic audience of seventy-five or eighty persons. The free silver cause Is booming in old Scioto countyt WILL WORK FOR TARIFF. Carbondale Leader. While the election of a sound money president Is of tho greatest importance. It Is equally desirable that 'the majority in congress should be on tho right side of the monetary question. It Is not to conceived that the voters of Lackawanna county will neglect to send such a representative to Washington. Mr. Connell, the Republican candidate, was a delegate In the St, Louis convention in June, and is a hearty sup porter of the platform there adopted. He will not only vote right on 'the monetary question but will work for the restoration of a protectlv tariff. OUR NEW FAD. Syracuse Courier. Pennsylvania women have a brand new fad, a coal mine party. They will ex plore a coal mine, dig a lump of coal, and lunch by the light of coal oil lamps. They may endeavor to ascertain the reason for bouncing the price of coal up $1.25 per ton, but the chances are that they won't. M'KINLEY IS THE MAN. Campaign Song Written for The Tribune.
