Washington Monument Reg ulation For Benefit of the Sightless. The kind hoartcrtness of Mr. Tnft ond his sincere, common kciiso sym pathy villi the unfortunates In this world has Just been brought to the at tention of the blind in a peculiar way. Away up in the top of the Washing ton niouumeiit, where thousands go to behold the beauties of the nation's capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in stitute, which seeks to make It possi ble for the adult blind of the United States to rise above conditions of de pendence by becoming self sustaining, placed on sale souvenir post cards manufactured by Its blind. Some sen timental persons took the view that Silberberq Co. Treasurer, H. R. MERRITT. AND BRADFORD fl4.4t4.4.H.4HMHM4i this was undlgnllicd and succeeded In having the superintendent of public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. V. E. Cleaveland, principal of the Institute, appealed to Mr. Taft, then secretary of war and within whose jurisdiction catno the olfice of public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the sec- rotary that the blind should have tho benefit of this privilege, and the cards were again placed on sale In tho mou ument "For this action," said Principal Cleaveland In discussing tho Incident "Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude of every blind person, particularly the progressive blind, who arc striving to noip their less fortunate fellows."

Tho most Important, becauso tho most curiously novel, feature of Mr. Bryan's address is his apotheosis of tho party platform. A new doctrine of Infallibility Is embodied in theso sen tences at tho very beginning of Mr. Bryan's speech: A platform Is binding as to what It omits as well as to what It contains. A platform announces a party's posi tion ou the questions which arc at is sue, and an olliclal is not at liberty to use the authority vested In him to urge personal views which have not been the Senate, before their final adjourn ment, a proper person to fill said vacancy; but In any such case of vacancy, In an elective otlice, a person shall be chosen to said ollice at the next general election, unless the vacancy shall happen within threo calendar months Immediately pre ceding such election, In which case the election for said office shall be held at tho second succeeding general election.

In offices to which he may appoint, during the rccesa of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall expiro nt the end of their next session; he shall have power to till any vacancy that may happen, during the recess of the Senate, In tho oince of Audi tor General, State Treasurer, Secretary of Internal Affairs or Superintendent of Public Instruction, In a Judicial ollice, or In any other elective office which he Is or may bo authorized to nil; If the vacancy shall happen during the session of the Senate, tho Governor shall nominate to the Senate, before their final adjourn ment, - proper person to till said va caiicyt but in any such case of vacancy. In an elective ollice, a person shall be chosen to said office on the next election day appropriate to such ofllce, according to the provisions of this Constitution, un less the vacancy shall happen within two cnlendar months Immediately preceding such election day, In which case the elec tion for said otlice shall be held on the second succeeding election day appro priate to such office. In acting on ex ecutive nominations the Senate shall sit with open doors, and, in confirming or rejecting the nominations ot the Gov ernor, the vote shall be taken by yeas and nays, and shall be entered on the Journal.

Section 4. Amend section eleven of ar ticle five, which reads as follows: 'Except ns otherwise provided In this Constitution. Justices of the peace or aldermen shall bo elected In tho several wards, districts, boroughs and townships at the time of the election of constables, by the qualified electors thereof. In Buch manner as shall be directed by law, and shall be commissioned by the Governor for a term of five years. No township, ward, district or borough shall elect more than two Justices of the peace or alder men without the consent of a majority of tho qualified electors within such township, ward or borough; no person shall be elected to such office unless he shall hnve resided within the township, borough, ward or district for one year next preceding his election.

In cities containing over fifty thousand Inhabitants, not more than one alderman shall be elected in each ward or district. Amendment Four To Article Five, Sec tion Twelve. Section 5. Amend section twelve of ar ticle five of the Constitution, which reads as follows: "In Philadelphia there shall be estab lished, for each thirty thousand Inhabit ants, one court, not of record, of police and civil causes, with Jurisdiction not ex ceeding one hundred dollars; such courts shall bo held by magistrates whose term of office shall be five years, and they shall be elected on general ticket by the qualified voters at large; and In the elec tion of the said magistrates no voter shall vote for more than two-thirds of the number of persons to be elected when more than one are to be chosen; they shall be compensated only by fixed snla rles, to be paid by said county; and shall exercise such Jurisdiction, civil and crimi nal, except as herein provided, as is now exercised by aldermen, subject to such chonges, not Involving an Increase of civil Jurisdiction or conferring political duties, as may be made by law.

In Philadelphia the office of alderman is abolished. Amendment Five To Article Eight, Sec tion Two. Section 6.

It is natural that Mr. Bryan should disavow certain "omitted issues," such ns free silver, government ownership of railroads, tho Inillatlve and referen dum, attacks upon the courts ond oth er theories which at times he sanction ed ovefliastlly in tho past. But he is unfortunate in his maimer of express ing that disavowal. A party platform is not political holy writ. The American people choose for president a man, not a clerk, to carry out tho orders of a con- numbered year, but the General Assembly mny by law fix a different day, two thliils of all tho members of each House consenting thereto: Provided, That such election shall always be held In an even numbered year.

Certain loose fitting styles are especially adaptable for that purpose. The finest cloths and silk are, by a secret process, cravouettod, which makes them water proof.
