The populists of Colorado refer to Tel

(honorable political career.” To culminate
means to reach the highest point.
culmination comes the descent, wlthJtdlv

lists may be right about Senior Teller's
career. ,

what is the constitution when 16 to 1 Is

It is understood that ex-Gov. Boles Is

The prohibitionist national campaign
was opened at Prohibition park, Staten
Island, by Mr. Joshua Levering of Bal
timore, the candidate of the party for
President, on Saturday. Mr. Levering
insists that the silver question is not of
as much importance as that of prohibition,
from the fact that If free coinage were
Instituted It would result in the coining
of only about one silver dollar per capita
a year, while the amount expended for
liquor per year is much more than $1
per capita.
Mr. Charles B. Rouss’ evident desire
that the southern Battle Abbey should be
built at Washington has much to recom
mend It. Washington is the center of the
reunited government; the representatives
of foreign governments in this oountry
reside there; people who study history at
the fountain head look to Washington
to furnish much of the history of this
country; foreign visitors who visit Amer
ica nearly always take in the seat of
government and its museums and libra
ries; Washington has a greater number
of visitors from the different states than
probably any other city In the country
except New York. There are many things
to recommend Washington. But there is
likely to be a strong sentiment against
erecting the Battle Abbey upon any but
southern soil
Hill Turned Bonn.
"I am a democrat" was the opening sen
tence of a celebrated speech delivered
by Senator David B. Hill in the Academy I
of Music of Brooklyn, several years ago, j
and since that day that sentiment has I
be-en associated with his name. Yester
day he was turned down in the national
democratic convention, lie is not a good
enough democrat to suit the Altgelds,
Bryans and Tillmans who run that body.
The question which naturally sugg ets
itself is this: Has Senator Hill's democ
racy undergone any change since he said:
"I am a democrat?" If so. in what re
spect? As far as we know, or the world
knows, he is as firm an adherent of demo
cratic principles anti the democratic par
ty as ty was when he was cheered north,
south, bast and west whenever he appear
ed In public on special occasions.
Hut, if the political views of Senator
Hill have not undergone any radical
change then the democratic party must
have shifted Its position upon some Impor
tant public question. Otherwise Senator
Hill would not have been turned down In
a national convention of hi* own party.
What has taken place is this: Four
years ago the democratic party declared
in favor of sound money—in favor of
keeping ihe silver dollar and the paper
dollar on a parity with the gold dollar.
The majority of the convention now in
session in Chicago insist upon committing
the democratic party to the populistic
doctrine of 16 to 1 which, the advocates of
sound money believe, means silver mono
metallism and a debased currency. Be
cause Senator Hill does not believe that
that doctrine • for, the best Interest of
the country—a doctrine which has not yet
been adopted by a national democratic
convention—he has been virtually told
that he is not a good democrat.
It seems to us that the convention blun
dered In ignoring precedent and practi
cally slapping the national committee in
the face. What harm could Senator Hill
have done the cause of silver If the con
vention had confirmed the action of the
national committee atul made him Its tem
porary chairman? It is true he could
have expressed his views In a speech that
might not have been approved by the ma
jority of the convention, but there is
nothing to hinder him from delivering a
speech on the floor of the convention. A
speech from him from the floor would
be as effective as If delivered from the
chair. If he had been made temiiorary
chairman he would also have had the ap
pointment of the committee on creden
tials, but if the report of the committee
appointed by hltjt had not been satisfac
tory the convention could have rejected jf.
It is difficult to see, therefore, what has
been gained by the silverites in antago
nising the sound money faction of the
party. If the election Is tr be won there
must be harmony /ft fVe party. Yester
day's action moaps discord. If such ac
tion had been necessary to the plans and
purpose* of the silverites there would
have been some excuse for It, but with
s*Ch a majority as the silverites have
/It was not necessary. It was taken ap
parently for no other purpose than to con
vince the sound money men that the sil
verites do not intend to show them any
consideration whatever. It was an ex
pression of 111 feeling rather than an act
of sound Judgment.
Money In tlie CampnlKn.
There are Indications that Justify tho
opinion that a great deal of money •will
be spent in the presidential campaign this
year. There may be only four presi
dential tickets and there may be six, but
whether there are four or six the cam
paign will be a memorable one for the
lavish use of money for what may be
termed legitimate expenses. Neither of
the prohibition factions expects to ele"t
its ticket and hence neither of them will
go to unnecessary expense for stump
speakers and campaign literature, and
the populist party, if it puts out a candi
date, will not waste money in a hopeless
campaign. ’The republican and democratic
parties, however, will use all the money
they can get, and they will not have
much difficulty in getting pretty nearly
all they want.
The statement has been made that Mark
Hanna spent out of his own pocket SIOO,-
000 to secure the nomination of Maj. Mc-
Kinley. If it cost one man SIOO,OOO to
nominate Maj. McKinley what is it likely
to cost to carry on the McKinley cam
paign?
Capitalists in one city, Denver, have
announced that if the Chicago conven
tion nominates Senator Teller they will
give $300,000 to* assist in electing him. If
silverites’in other cities of the country
are of the same liberal turn of mind sev
eral millions of dollars could easily be
raised to conduct Mr. Teller’s campaign
If he should be nominated.
But if Mr. Teller should be nominated
the chances are that the eastern demo
crats would put out a presidential ticket.
In that event not nearly so much money
would be available to assist the Chicago
ticket. Still, that ticket would not be
wanting in campaign funds, because there
are plently of rich silverites, and as they
appear to bo very much in earnest they
would see to it that means were provided
for carrying on a vigorous campaign. If
the eastern democrats should nominate a
ticket they would not expect it to be
elected, and hence they would not \\%ste
much money upon it. The chances are
that the rich men among sound money
democrats, those who have great inter
ests at stake, would be rather inclined to
help the republican ticket. It looks
therefore as if the republican ticket would
have an abundance of money for cam
paign purposes whether there is a bolt
at Chicago or not. The "fat” will be fried
out of the manufacturers, as usual, but in
addition to the contributions of the man
ufactures Will be those of the financial
Institutions and individuals who are in
terested in having a sound currency.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, IB9C.
The Nebraska C ase
Editor Bryan appeared to be greatly sur
prised by the action of the national com
mittee in seating the sound money delega
tion from Nebraska. According to our dis
patches he said that the committee on cre
dentials would seat the silver delegation
as soon as It was appointed.
No doubt Mr. Bryan is right in hi* view
of what the committee on credentials will
do. That committee was appointed to do
the will of the majority, and the majority
wants every silver contestant seated.
But if it were not for the bitter feeling
between the silverites and sound money
men of the convention the Justice of the
aetkn of the national committee would
hardly be questioned. The silver delegation
from Nebraska was appointed by an or
ganization composed of democrats and
jmpulists, while the sound money dele
gates were appointed by an organization
wholly democratic.
It was a couple of years or more ago that
the spilt in the democracy of Ne
braska occurred. A proposition was
made to the state democratic con
vention to fuse with the populists.
A faction of the democrats, led
by Mr. Bryan, accepted the proposition
and the other faction—the faction that re
jected the projiosltlon—withdrew, and
formed a separate organization. It was
this separate organization that the na
tional committee recognized as the real
democratic party of Nebraska when It de
cided to give the Nebraska sound money
delegation a place In the temporary or
ganization or the convention. In view of
the fact of the strong sentiment in the
convention in favor of silver, and also in
favor of a presidential candidate accept
able to the populists, it is extremely prob
able that the committee on credentials will
reverse the action of the national commit
tee.
Cork for Paving.
Something like a year ago a radical
departure In street paving was experi
mented with In London. Liverpool street,
leading to the Great Eastern railway
station, was paved with cork. TJie cork
was granulated and mixed with mineral
asphalt and other cohesive substances,
and compressed into blocks of the proper
size and shape. After the lapse of a
year the paving was criticlcally exam
ined, to note the wear and tear on the
material. The blocks were embedded in
tar, and rested upon a concrete founda
tion six Inches thick. Notwithstanding
the traffic was very heavy Over the sec
tion examined, It was found that the
blocks had in no place worn into holes,
and that the thickness of the paving had
been reduced less than one-eighth of an
inch. The cork had withstood the twelve
months’ service, and was in practically
as good condition as when it was laid.
The Medical Journal, advocating a trial
of the cork paving in Nfw York, says:
"Among the numerous advantages set
forth in its behalf are cleanliness, noise
lessness, durability, elasticity, freedom
from sllpperlness, whether wet or dry,
and moderate cost. It is non-absorbent,
and consequently Inodorous. It presents
the minimum resistance to traction, and
being always elastic under the passing
load, does away with the vibration
caused by heavy teams.”
The record of the new material is such
as will cause attention to be given to it
by cities contemplating street Improve
ments. It appears to combine the good
qualities of asphalt, wood and stone,
without the bad qualities of either. It is
tough and durable, without being noisy.
It is smooth without being slippery, and
Is elastic without being absorbent. The
cost is the question that is not satis
factorily answered. The Medical Journal
says the cost is moderate, but then one
does not always feel satisfied to have
a medical authority pass upon a com
mercial question. It is probable that the
material will be tried in New York; in
which event the authorities of this city
will have an opportunity to study it, if
they are so Inclined.
In Chicago the other day a "scorcher”
on a bicycle was seen to reel and fall to
the pavement. When assistance reached
him he was dead. He had been overcome
by the heat, and had ruptured a blood
vessel In the brain. The incident should
serve as a warning to "scorchers” in this
city and elsewhere. While there Is no bet
ter exercise, when indulged In with mod
eration, than bicycle riding, it becomes
dangerous when over done. Fast riding
in the sun should be avoided by cvefy
rider who cares for health.
The populist national convention meets
In St. Louis on July 22. What It will
amount to depends in a very great meas
ure upon the outcome of the next few'
days at Chicago. There appears a dispo
sition in certain . quarters to
tote off all of the popu
list platform planks to Chicago, hence
it may transpire that the forthcoming St.
Louis convention will be left with nothing
to stand on.
Mrs. Fleming, who was recently ac
quitted by a New York court of the
charge of murdering her mother, has
come into her estate and possesses grati

bonus of $5,000. After paying her lawyer
she will have something like $50,000 left,
with a part of which it is understood she
is going to buy a husband.
According to the New York Tribune,

CIHRIIVT COMMEXT.
St. Louis anil Chicago.
From the Macon (On.) News (Dem.).
There's one particular difference be
tween the Chicago convention and that at
St. Louis. Before the St. lyouls convention
it was: "McKinley will be nominated, but
what will the money plank be?” Now, on
the eve of the Chicago .convention, it Is:
"Silver will be the money plank, but who
will be nominated?"
Warning From Mexico.
From the Baltimore Herald (Dem.).
A banker from Mexico Is In Chicago and
he has been talking to newspaper men
about the effect of free-silver coinage upon
his country. In one Interview he declared
with great earnestness that silver had been
the ruination of Mexico, and In another he
expressed the opinion that the countries
to the southward never would enjoy pros
perity until their finances were put upon a
gold basis. This Is rather hard on the stock
argument of the silver men.
Not Ont Until Played Oat.
From the Detroit Free Press (Dem.).
It Is an old saying among players that a
game is never out until It is played out. It
is especially true of the game of politics,
and such games as that which is going to
be played in Chicago this week. I’ntil the
last jard in the game is played there is
ground for hope that the result will be one
upon which every true democrat can con
gratulate himself and the party. Until
that result Is reached It is unwise to in
dulge In pledges, promises or threats.
One Point of Difference.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.).
The free coinage of silver Is the one
point of difference between Teller and Mc-
Kinley. Mr. Walsh and other democrats
now propose to take up this man and make
him the presidential candidate of the dem
ocratic party. Has It come to the pass
that the democratic party represents noth
ing but the demand for the free and unlim
ited coinage of silver at 16 to 1? Is advo
cacy of that proposition th only requisite
to fitness for democratic honors and lead
ership?
A Dollar a Day.
From Charleston News and Courier (Dem.)
The Hartford Courant quotes with en
thusiasm Maj. McKinley’s remark the oth
er day, to some Ohio workingmen: "When
you work a full day you want a full dollar
in payment.'' The Courant asks: "Does any
workingman dissent from that proposi
tion?"
We do not know what any workingman
will say to this, but, according to our re
collection. the Courant and Mr. Benjamin
Harrison and all the other organs and
orators howled In indignant chorus about
four years ago because some unfeeling cap
italist, we believe, it way the late Mr
Gould, suggested that a dollar a day was
good wages for a workingman.
Are we to understand that Maj. McKin
ley and the Courant and all the rest of
the dear workingman’s especial guardians
and friends, (in presidential election
yeairs.F have been converted to the opin
ion tbM a fnirßoltdr is full payment for a
full day's work of the average American
workingman?
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
—A rage for perfume* prevailed In
France tn the time of Louis XV. The ex
penditure of Madame de Pompadour for
this one branch of her toilet amounted to
II >,(**> annually. It became Sue fashion
for host and hostess of a great enter
tainment to signal.ze to their guests what
particular perfume was to be employed
for scenting their rooms on the night for
which the invitations were issued, and
they were expected to use no other, so
that the delicate effect of a unity of odors
might be proJuced. At court a different
(e-rfume was presented for each day of
the week This ail sounds very refined
and charming, but it must be remember
ed that the urter disregard of the rules
of cleanliness during this reign and that
Nf Louis XIV., even by individuals of the
"Ighest rank, rendered the use of power
scents to a certain degree obligatory.

The locks c 1 the mail bag pouches are
so constructed that it is impossible to open
one without it s betraying the secret, says
r \r''; h Y V rl t World. There is a little

Suppose, lor instance, that the reg
ister shows 1,147 at the point of departure,
and that when the pouch is delivered at
the point of destination the lock is op
ened, the register will then show 1,148.
This increase of one is made for each trip
of the pouch, and eventually the num
ber reached is 9,999, which is an average
hag requires thirty-three years to reach.
The bag is then taken apart, and the
numbers reset. These locks were firs*
introduced In 1881, and a mail clerk made
a bold attempt to rob a mail bag In tran
sit, soon after their Introduction. He took
a small turning lathe In the mail car
with him to aid in the scheme. After un
locking the hag he rifled the contents and
connected up the lathe to the lock. His
idea was to twist the numbers around
until they were the same as before the
lock was touched. He set the lathe hum
ming and soon reeled off the numbers up
to 9,999, when to his consternation the
register remained at that figure and re
fused to move any more. The lock must
be taken apart before it will start No. 1
again, but he did not know this. The
trick was, of course, discovered and the
guilty clerk punished. Since then the locks
have never been tampered with.
-Domremy has changed but little during
the four centuries and fourscore years
which have rolled away since Joan of
Arc was born, says the Ladies’ Home
Journal... It was a farming village in
Joans day; it is a farming community
still. Jacques of Arc (Joan's father) was
a prosperous farmer of rhp village. He
owned his modest home and some 20 acres
of meadow, Held and woodland and had
an income of about SI,OOO a year. He was
a much respected citizen in the small
community, performing many of those
duties now relegated to a mayor or a
Justice of the peace, and entertaining
In a humble way the pilgrims who passed
along the great highway. It is truly
said that great characters arc the chil
dren of unusual mothers. Joan of Are
was no exception to this almost uni
versal rule. Isabeau of Arc was a wo
man evidently far in advance of her
village associates. She had a brother
who had been educated for the clergy
she possessed some little property in her
own t.ght, and, W'hat was perhaps rarer
still, she signed her name with the title
of Romee, only taken by those who hau
made the pilgrimage to the eternal city.
The family of seven, three sons and two
daughters, lived In the vine-covered cot
tage beside the mill on the plot of land
adjoining the church. The house has
scarcely changed since repaired by one
who knew Joan, and were it not for the
sculptured details above the door the tall
spruce trees which shelter it, or the well
kept inclosure, there is nothing to dis
tinguish it from the other farm houses
in the village.

and discipline the latter, and he shows'a
disposition to accept them, though it is
not likely that a monopoly of that instruc
tion will be given them. Both these great
men are nearing the end of their appotnt
ed work and .heir meeting the other day
at Friedrichsruh was of high historic in
terest. in which an element of pathos was
mingled. They have written their names
large upon the century, and each has ac
complished for his nation more than any
predecessor. Of the afcst and west, they
are not only the highest contemporary
figures, but the highest which have ap
peared :n centuries, if that of Napoleon
be left out of the estimate. Bismarck's
task seems well completed, and to all
appearance the foundations of the em
pire of which he was the real architect
are firm and enduring. That of Li Hung
Chang Is only fairly begun, and will
have to be carried on by other hands than
his own. But he has given It the Initial
Impulse, and the impress of his hand will
remain upon the recreated empire per
haps as legibly as that of B smarck upon
Germany. Their meeting is worthy of ar
tistic as well as historic commemoration
and it is quite sure of celebration the
last in this kind that either is likely to
receive.

A Bold Attempt to Rob.
A bold attempt at robbery is being per
petrated upon the people everywhere in
the South, in the efforts of unscrupulous
persons to sell them an inferior article to
take the place of Simmons Liver Regula
tor, the Red Z. It’s worse than robbery.
It takes the money of the sick and af
flicted, and giyes in return preparations
as unlike Simmons Liver Regulator as is
the character of such deceivers compared
to the man of honor and integrity. Fore
warned is forearmed. Save your money
and protect your hpalth by taking noth
ing but Simmons Liver Regulator, the
Red Z. It's The Old Friend that for more
than sixty years has blessed the homes
of the land, and brought long life to
many a sufferer with liver troubles. You
can rely on its doing as much for you.
Health and wealth comes to him who
takes Simmons Liver Regulator. Look
for the Red Z on the front of the pack
age, that is the guarantee of the proprie
tors that the medicine is genuine.
