Reckless P‘rofanation.
There can be nollmore reckless prof-
anation of a great name than Was tX-
hibited Tu sday‘in the celebration of
Thomas Jeflorson’s birthday by the
cheap money champions, led by Wil-
liam J. Bryan. There is not a single
utterance of J-fi'orson’.-, from his
earliest to his latest public deliverance,
that did not emphasiza his devotion to
.honest money, and it was by his orders
that the coinage of the silver dollar was
stopped in the Mint to maintain the
circulation of gold as the basis oflVa_lue,
saystheDsmocratianiladslphiaI l‘imes
In many ways and on many occasions
did Jefferson declare his faith in honest
money that would be free from fluc‘ua-
tions in value and in the scrupulous
maintenance of tie nali )nal credi .Inhis
first inaugural address he tersely sum-
marized the chief duties of popular
government, and one of these was ex-
pressed in this language: “I‘hefhon-
rst payment of our debts and sacred
preservation of the public faith.” Of
the many who yesterday united in the
profanation of J efl’erson’s name and
memory not one could utter the senti-
ment before quoted from J efi'orson,nor
could they find anything in all his
ustrous record and public deliverances
to Warrant,or even excuse, the celebra-
ion of his birthday by those who
openly teach repudiation of honest
debts and the destruction of national
credit.
There hasnnever been a Democratic.
President who did not . scrupulously
maintain the gold standard as the- ac-
cepted standard of value of the civil-
ized nations of the world. Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe taught it ;I lackson
emphasized it by both [utterance and
action, and Cleveland simply followed
the teachings of the long line at his
predecessors 'in steadily maintaining
public and private credit and saving
the nation from financial revulsion and
business anarchy. Andrew J ohnson was
the only President who taught or toler-
ated the semblance of repudiatior,.and
there are few even of those who think
most kindly of him who would not
cover the chief features of his adminis-
tration with the charitable mantle of
forgetfulness.
There are hosts of cheap money
Ileaders to-day, many of whom study.
political interests rather thanhonest
convictions. It is their rigthto think
and speak as they shall choose, and to
offer such argument as they may in de-
fense of their faith, but it is simply
reckless profanation to assume that
they are followers of Thomas Jefferson.
He was not a repudiator; he was a
statesman and an honest man.

Danger in Growing Beards:
A young Englishman who gave his
name as John Kelly, was arrested in
New York on Sunday and locked up on
a charge of being ar suspicious charac-
ter. Mr. Kelly had strolled into lie
Zoo, and was looking at the eagles,
when be attracted the notice of a po—
liceman, who, after watching him for a
while, placed him under arrest. Two
considerations combined to make the
policeman suspect Mr. Kelly, and his
own statement confirmed the suspicion.
His clothes were not‘ quite up to the
Sunday mark, and he had a three day’s
growth of heard on his face. He fur_
ther complicated matters by claiming
to be an Englishman . and giving his
name as Kelly. .
The pohceman,whose name is McGee,
doubtless regarded the young man as
being ashamed of his nativity. He we a
certain he had done a good thing in
intestine a man by the name of Kelly
who said he was an Englishman. It
Was possmle an Englishman might pos_
sees the name of Kelly, but he had no
business With such a name. No Kelly
ought to be an Englishman, and if he
"was, he deserved to be taken in. SOme
time or other a theft had been com-
mitted. Either an Englishman had
stolen an Irishman’s name or an Irish-
man had stolen an Englishman’s per-
sonality. An Irishman hadlbeen wrong-
ed 0: had disgraced himself. Punish-
ment was in order in either case,‘ and
Kelly got it. . ‘ ,
It is high time to put a stop to such
misrepresentation. Mr. McGinness
will claim to be a. Scandinavian next or
Mulcahy will say he is;a German, and
call himself Moltke, the transition is].

clay. The three d'ays’ heard is nota
fit thing to appear in- public with any-
how. If a man wants to grow a beard,
let him, but he ought not to select Sun-
'day as the time. and a public‘Park the
pace, for eXthIlTLIS hims If. He is
too previous in making his advent. A
week or ten days at the very least,
should elapse before he emerges from
're iremint. By that time the growth
will have been sufficient '0 ind cate his
intentions. His pl 311 will be outlined.
But three d-ys’ gr.) rib is no‘ en iuzh
to announce anythinr deficit» , except
suspicion. The most lib ’rll construc-
tionist must admit, that a three days’
growth of bml‘d surgest've of
“tramp? No 'self respecting man
wou‘d delibera‘ely walk up to the
Amercm eagle anl look km in the
face. in this frazzled condition, be he
Engish 0r Irish, and the policeman
can lot be blamed for his suspicions.
It ii to be hop d this young man can
trim: a satisfactory account of himself,
and regain his freedom. If he is inno-
cent of wrong, it is hard that he should
be punished, but it is his own fault. He
chose a bad d ry in the week for starting
his beard. He ought to have begun on
Sunday.- Had he done so, he would
have had a clear stretch of seven days
in which to grow a heard before invad-
ing the Z)0. For six days he cou'd
have gone about his usual Vocations
without arousrng suspicion, and on
the seventh day, Sunday, could
have g me safely to the Zoo, and
viewed the eagles to his heart’s content.
Even in such a case, the exercise of
some discretion would be desirable. He
would be safe enough with the eagles,
but suppose he lingered in the neigh-
is
He would have run the risk of being
caught and chucked into the monkeys’
cage before he had time to explain.
The use of a little judgment would
preserve him from danger, but even
ciuld not go everywhere with imr unity.
If people will grow beards they must
c‘insider their steps.
