Mr. Whitney’s statement, appeal, or whatever it be called! should carry weight with these to whom it isZpartic- nlarly addressed, the Democrats who have been carried away by the clamor for free silver. Nobody doubts Mr. Whitney’s patriotism or earnestness or the sincerity with which he declares that he is seeking and would accept no ' honors for himself and the fact that he has always professed avbelief in the de- sirability of a double standard, ought to commandahearing for his argument against the adoption of the silver stand- ard by this country It is unnecessary to discuss the prob- abilities of international bimetallism as he presents them, for the reason that those who believe a. double standard possible and those who do not are agreed that‘the free coinage of silver by the United States alone must mean silver monometallism. As Mr. Whitney says, it is not a question of desire, but of ability. . Itreally makes very little difference what a man may think desirable if he recognizes what is possible, and the special force of Mr. Whitney’s appedl to the advocates of free" silver lies in the fact that they cannot dismiss it as the interested argument of a “gold bug.” Whether they are amenable to reason at all, remains to be seen. O Death of Lyman Trumbull. Lyman, Trumbull has been so long retired from public life that the present generation will, as a rule, note‘his death with little appreciation of the great ser- vice he rendered to the country in the sorest trial of its history. It is now nearly a quarter of a century since he retired from the United States Senate after a service of eighteen years, and when it is stated that he was regarded as the ablest of the Republican Senators with associates such men as Seward, Sumner, Fessenden, Chase, Wade and Wilson, his character as a Senatorial leader may be understood. Mr. Trumbull was called to the Sen- ate from the bench of Illinois and was elected over Abraham Lincoln. The anti-Lecompton Democrats held the balance of power in the Legislature of Illinois, and while Mr. Lincoln was the choice of the RepublicansJJudge! I‘rum- bull, who was an anti-slavery: Demo- crat, was stubbornly supported by that class of Democrats in the Legislature, and hinco‘n cordially yielded to the in- evitable and advised the election of Trumbull. Although rivals for the Senatorship, Lincoln had no more car- nest supporter for the Presidency in his two contests for that place, and no more'earnest champion in the Senate than Trumbull. During the consideration and decision of the many grave questions which arose during the war and the recon- struction period. Senator Trubull was the confeised Republican leader. He was regarded as altogether the soundest jurist of all the Senators, and the many delicate constitutional questions which arose in reconstruction were all finally shaped by him. He was not only pre- eminently able but he was scrupulously honest. and he refused to bow to the mandate of the.radicals in the impeach- ment of President Johnson. It was Trumbull who saved Johnson from dis- missal and disgrace, and it cost Trum- bull his political position and ended all hope of further political advancement Since his retirement fl cm the Senate _ Trumbull has been independent in politics. He was at one time the un- successful Democratic candidate for Governor ,of Illinois. During the last decade the infirmitles of age told upon him, and he was rarely seen or felt in public affairs. His work was completed , when he retired from the Senate, and only those who have personal recol- lection of the great events of the civil war and reconstruction, can have any just appreciation of the exceptional ser— vices rendered the Nation by Lyman Trumbull.

All the“bumping”there is going to be,‘ between these twoleading Republican candidates for the Governorship of Con- neclieut, will resolve itself into the most friendly rivalry. Both the above gen- . tlem an are too good republican sand pa- triotic citizens to sulk at rivalry or de- fea . ' Porter is a trained and able journalist and knows that “the teeter-board of life goes up ani that the teeter-board g res down” and Cooke has been weighed in the ballance too many times to be found wanting in good tem- per or courteous acceptance of what- ever result befalls. Our professional pride in journalism, as well as knowledge of the ability and worth of Porter, inclines the GAZETTE to prefer his candicacy despite that our town, our county and Congressional district have candid rtes our people very heartily desire. tovsee honored with the gubernatorial nomination. _¢ ., PERSONAL GOSSIP ABROAD.’ M. Meline, France’s new protection- ist prime minister, has been nicknamed “Le Pere Famine.” Count Tolstoi receives letters in four or five languages, and always replies in. that in which he is addressed.

Tilgner, the great Austrian sculptor, is dead from a. stroke of apo- plexy. Paulus, the cafe concert singer, whose singing did much to start the Boulanger boom,ha.s just died near Hyeres, where he was living on his fortune. An hitherto unknown overture by Franz Schubert, which is declared to be authentic by Viennese experts, is in the possession of Herr Nicholas Dumba, of Vienna. The painting of Christ, by Gerome, exhibited at the Paris salon this year, is creating a great deal of comment. It is called “Renan’s Christ,” and in realism is said to outdo Tissot him- self. ' One of the most famous painters of Sweden, Martin Eskil Winge, died a. few days ago in Stockholm. His studies were mostly historical. Winge was 71 years old and a. member. of many Swedish societies. Mr. Gladstone’ s political life, as repre- sented 1n the pages of Punch, is soon to be published in London. He had been nine years in parliament before Punch appeared. The first pictures of him are by Richard Doyle and John Leech. It is announced that. “the kaiser has confided his latest artistic efforts. ‘After Sedan’ and ‘The Charge of the Guard at St. Poivat,’ to the well-known battle painter. Herr Roechling, who will put a few finishing touches to the imperial masterpiece.” WORDS. OE WISDOM. Politeness is. a lain-d of anaesthetic which envelops the asperities of our character, so that other people be not wounded by them. We. should never be without it, even when we contend with the rude.-—Joubert. The most commonplace people be:- come highly imaginative when they are in a passion. Whole dramas of insult, injury and wrong pass before their minds—efforts of creative genius, for t-hereis sometimesnot a. fact to go upon. —He.lps. There are two ways of attaining an important end—force and perseverance. Force falls to the lot only of thepriv- ileged few, but, austere and sustained perseverance can be practiced by the most insignificant. Its silent power grows irresistible with time. —Mme. Swetchine. It is always hard to go beyond your public. If they are satisfied with cheap performance, you will not easily arrive at bet-ter. If they know What is good and require itr yOu will aspire and burn until you achieve it. But from timeto time, in history, men are born a. whole age too soon—Emerson. FROM IFOREl-GN LANDS.
