While some political organs and lead- ers are-prating about sound money, they carefully avoid any indication of what they mean by sound money. There is not a Populist in’ the land, or 'a free silver freak anywhere, who does not insist that hais in favor of sound money, and he is Just as honest in his expression as is the man who declares for sound money without the courage to define what he means by it. We hear politicians and organs pre. dieting a strong sound money platform ora moderate 50an money plank at the St. LJuis Convention. be no such thing as a strong sound There can money plank or a weak sound money plank. There is but one way to declare in favor of scound money, and that is by explicitly proclaiming the gold standard of value as the only one to be accepted by the country. ‘ There can be no temporzzing on this issue. This and protection are the foremost questions before the people and The sound money man is for the gold s‘and- ard that has been accepted by this gov- 'e1:iment since it was founded, and he who is not for the gold' standard is against sound 31011353 and ready .10 war against public and private credit and against national honor and prosperity. There is but one sound money system iknown to this country and to the civil- sizedworld, and that is the money sys- tem that is based on the gold standard of value, must be met with manliness. All else means either a dc- graded currency or open repudiation, and there can be no middle ground, no compromise, no «'q'iivoration on the subject. I ' ~.'... A New Army. The Clutch Army, which, under did rection of the established church, has becn,'for nearly ment-y years, an im- portant factor in religious Work in Eng land, is. to‘be established under the au- spices of the Episcopal church in all parts of the United States. Already some posts have been organized, and it is the announced intention of the mana- gers to prosecute the task of organizing until the United States Church Army shall have set up its banner and sound- ed its bugle in every city, town and village of this country. In many re- spects it Will resemble the Salvation Army, but it is said that it “proposes to reach a different class,” and that, for this reason, “the possibility of rivalry will be avoided..’.’ Since the new organization is to run on military lines, with a full outfit of field, line, and staff officers all in uni- form, and is to have martial music and to do much of its work in the streets, it is not easy to see how rivalry with the Salvation Army can be avoided. Classes among the poor in Amercia are not so distinctly divided that the efforts of two such armies will be in difierent d1- rections. To a great extent they must occupy a common ground and workon the same kind of material; But what harm can come of rivalry in good work ? Is there not room enough and to spare? Are there not sins and sinners enough to furnish an ample field for all who desire to work for their conversion ? We have scores of religious denominations all working for the same end, but no harm comes of their rivalry.~ Indeed, it would be better for all concerned if there were a far more active competition. Our Next Governor. Copies of the Middletown Tribune, with a marked copy of the following article, supposed to represent the wishes of Governor Cofiin as to his successor in the gubernatorial chair, were re- ..ceived by numbers ofdour Norwalk citizens this morning. Its sentiments will no doubt meet approval in many minds here where Lieut. Gov. Cooke is 'well-known and-liked. The Tribune says: “ THE GOVERNORSHIP. The announcement that Governor Collin, whose administration has met the approbation of every one in this state, would not accept a. renomination has set many to wondering whom the ' Republican party would place at'the head of its ticket this fall.’ There is no- dearth of available men. A party in which many of thebrightestmen of the state are to be found need have no fears about fihding a winning candidate; “Just now all eyes are turned towards field‘county’s favorite son, and Lieu- tenant Governor Lorin A. Cooke’s star seems to be in the ascendancy. He has ernor with dignity and honor, ' and is one of the most popular men in the state. His legislative experience, and high perSonal character are recognized by all. He has been tested, and found to be a man that can be relied upon to» do the right thing at the right time. It would not be strange if he should be selected. If so, the success of the Re- publican party is certain. The senti- ment in favor of his nomination seems to be growing, and his friends are zealously working for his success, be- lieving that he will honor the office and the state.” f - The St. Louis Convention. Leading Republican politicians the country over, are hieing themselves to St. Louis. “Our Sam” is Bli'eldy on the ground as is evidenced by a tele- gram to the Sun, which imrarts this startling, if true, statement: . "At the conclusion of the meeting of the Republican National Committee this afternoon the Hon. Joseph H. Man- lev of Maine and the Hon. Samuel Fessenden of Connecticut walked out of the meeting room together. Mr. Manley’s hands were shoved deep in his pockets, his hat was pulled down over his eyes, a cigar was in the corner of his mouth, the lighted end pointed upward and almost touching his nose. “Sim,” he said, “I’ll be damned if I ever saw anything like it.” “And I’m damned if I ever did either,” said Fessenden, and they marched off to the headquarters of the Maine statesman ‘and,sat down and thought.” - Good Examples. The city tax is not due until the ht of July, but this fact did not prevent Timothy B. Fitch of Merwin street Walking into tax collector A. A. Betts’ ofiice this morning and paying the tax assessrd against his name. Shortly after Mrs. Elizabeth MacLean of North avenue called on Mr. Betts and paid the amount of taxes charged to her. It is such acts as these that make glad the heart of the tax collector. NEW elliIAAn. Marshall W. Ralston will play with the Pioneer’s of N orwalk against Hope Hose on Saturday next, at Norwalk Park.

Stewart and William Rutledge, both of this town, were mar- ried in Bristol yesterday. The happy couple will return to .New Canaan t0v day, where they will reside. ...__————< .

Were at the Bottom of aMine When No- tice to Quit Was Served. A Forest and Stream correspondent tells a South African story. Two snakes were at the bottom of a 60-foot mine shaft. The snakes were each about. ten feet long, and of one of the most poison- ous species, known .as mumba.s., Now, miners and ten-foot mambas do not agree very well, and this is especially true when both are at the bottom of a mining shaft. The miners whose claim had been jumped sent a message down to the snakes withorders to come up. The message was a. bottle of dynamite with a lighted fuse attached. The snakes obeyed the summons at once. :They came up the perpendicular shaft with such speed that they shot up 30 feet above the opening of the shaft. When they came down they were some- what mixed. The two tails had in some way got tangled into a square knot, such as sailors tie. The snakes wanted to go in opposite directions, but the efforts were in vain, and they fell toan stung one another to death. - Acting Was Too Real. During some private theatricals at the ’Saxon court recently, Crown Princess Frederick took the part of a maid serv4 out. The extreme realistic way in which she portrayed a. vulgar young woman moistening and polishing a' leather shoe brought her a reproof from the king himself, who said: “We are among ourselves, it is true; but even then a royal princess ought not to play so exactly the manners of a maid.” An Afidavit. This is to certify that on May 11th, I walked to 'Melick’s drug store on a. pair of crutches and bought a bottle of Chamber- 'lain’s Pain Balm for inflammatory rheuma- tism which had crippled me up. After us- ing three bottles I am completely cured. I can cheerfully recommend it. -- CHAS. H. W nTz-EL, Sunbury, Pa. Sworn and subscribed to before me on l P Weed m...
