Hobart Sounds the High Note.
Mr. Hobart’s speech of acceptance
gives no uncertain sound. It 1s a clear
emphatic and courageous official utter-
ance and it shows that he appreciates
the gravity of the situation and the real
issue of the campaign.
Living in contact with the active bus-
iness life of the world, Mr. Hobart has
no illusions as to the power of govern-.
ments to make something out of noth-
ing. He does not hesitate to insist up-
on” the fundamental and essential prin-
. oipal of all-coinage, never questioned in
the history of the country till these re-
cent times, that there can be only one
hasis on which gold and silver can be
concurrently coined as money, and that
inequality in the commercial value of
the metal contained in each coin, a
value “fixed by the markets of the
world with which the great interests of
our country are necessarily. connected
by innumerable business ties ‘which
cannot be severed or ignored.”
This question, he rightly says, "ad-
mits of no compromise.” It is an es-
sential principle at stake, that concerns
all the people, and “it is of vital conse-
quence that this question should be
settled now in such a way as to restore
public confidence, here and every-
where, in the integrity of our purpose,”
any doubt of which must cost us not
only millions of money, but our indus-
trial and commercial supremacy.
Mr. Hobart has spoken the word in
mason that was needed as a counter-
blast to the wild theorizing at Chicago.
to fix the attitude of the Republican
grganization and rally to its support all
who value the honor of the nation and
the welfare of its people. His speech
has clearly stated the one sound, un-
compromising attitude on which the
ib_attle for sound money must be fought.

l896 Repeating I860.
“Since the ‘morning star of secession’
was heralded in the Democratic con-
vention at Charleston in 1860 by Wil-
hsm L. Yancey, Alabama’s silver-
' tongued orator, there has been no such
madness, says that honest and stalwart
democratic organ, the Philadelphia
Times, as that exhibited by the Demo-
erotic leaders who control the Chicago
national convention- The secession of
“2860 was a craze, not a conviction.
Slavery was not in danger. The Be-
pnblican President. elected that year
was scrupulously committed to main-
taining the right; of slavery in the
States; the Senate had a decid; «1 majori-
ty in favor of the South; the Supreme
@ourt was a bulwark of safety for the
slave power, and the attempt to maln-
tain slavery by revolutionary methods
was the sublimity of madness.
Four years of bloody war, the sacri-
fice of countless millions of treasure,
and fully a million lives, tell the story
of the madness that followed the ‘morn-
' ing star of secession’ in 1860. The
bondsman was made free; slavery was
efiaced from the continent; the slave
became the lawmaker for the master,
and bereavement, desolation and want
were the logical results of the secession
craze that swept the South in 1860.
A like craze has swept the South to-
day, and it has many of the elements of
inspiration which made the “morning
star of secssion” dawn upon the pros-
perous and happy South‘vof 1860. The
South has been engulfed in the same
mad sectional lines by the free silver
{tidal wave, with even less excuse than it
had for bowing to secession. It does
not produce a dollar of silver, but like
{the revolt of 1860 that was against
the honored industry of the North, the
present revolt is against the integrity
and prosperity of the North, and it is
only logical that the'Confederate brig-
adiers, now leaders in politics, should
beforemost in the madness that rules
atChicago. They have learned noth-
fmg; forgotten nothing
' The battle at Chicago is distinctly on
sectional lines. It presents a united
South with no more diversity of senti-
ment than there was against secession,
and the business conditions and the in-
herests of silver producers have com
Lined to the South substantial support
THE 'EYgENING EGAZ’ETTITE-U ' '
the less sectional, and a sectional issue
in any nation means danger to the per-
‘ petuity of the goverment.
‘ The madness of cheap money will
share the fate of the madness of seces-
sion, and many of the same men will
fall in the inevitable overthmw of re-
pudiation and national dishonor, who
fell in the frenzy of causeless rebellion.
The men who fought fr r the Southern
Confederacy have pride‘dnntheir hero-
. ism and in their devotion to their States
and homes, but the men who ‘are bat-
tling to-day for a degraded currency,
that would fling poverty upon labor and
conVulsion in every trade and business
channel, will remember with shame the
efforts they are today making at Chi-
cago-to dishonor the nation they could
not destroy by force of arms.
The American people are devoted to
individual and national honor, and
when this fearful craze shall have run
its course and perished there will be
none so poor as to reverence its mem-
’)
ory.
And the above noble and patriotic
sentiments are from. Pennsylvania’s
leading democratic newspaper.

PAYS ‘TO BE GENTLEMANLY.
But Not Always as Well as It Did in This
Instance.
Colonel F. W. Saxton, of Oakland,
Cah, was in Washington recently. “A
little incident that came to my notice
just beforeIleft home,” he said to a
Times reporter, “impressed me that
there is never any use for a. man to act
otherwise than a gentleman, and that it
is often a financial gain to do so.
“One of San Francisco’s capitalists is
Joseph Boardman. It is said he is a
millionaire, but to look at him you
would hardly think it. You could
hardly say that he dresses shabbily, but
he comes very close to it, and. appears
to a stranger to be some kindly old gen-
tleman whom fortune has never cared
to smile upon. Mr. Boardman’s house
is over in Oakland, but his ofiice is in
San Francisco, and each morning he
makes the trip over on the ferry.
“The other day he started for the
boat and' 1n his haste he forgot to trans-
fer his pocketbook to his clothes. Of
course he did not discover this until he
reached the wharf. There was no one
in the crowd that he ‘knew, or that
knew him. He searched every pocket
in vain. A young man standing near
by witnessed the confusion of the old
gentleman, and walking up to him,
thrust a coin into his hand and moved
back into the crowd. .
“The young man doubtless supposed
that he had done an act of kindness to a
needy one, and he hastened aWay, in
order to make it less embarrassing for
his beneficiary. He had no opportunity
to get far, however, before Mr. Board-
man caught him and made him divulge
his name and address. The next day
the young man" was the recipient of a
snug check, drawn by the millionaire,
and making him richer by a. hundred
dollars than he was the day before.
PU LLED WITHOUT WAITING.
The Dentist Extracted 11 Tooth in a Street
Car.
In a. San Francisco street car ‘a man
with a swollen face was rocking to and
fro and moaning. Another passenger
boarded the car and asked the sufferer
what the trouble was.
“I’ve got an awful toothache,” said
he. “and I would give $10 to have it
pulled.”
“I’ll do it for half that,” said the
other.
“Go ahead.”
The newcomer drew a. case of dental
instruments from his pocket, selected a
pair of forceps, and told the sufferer to
open his mouth. It- was a. trifle dark
and the conductor held a lighted match
while the dentist peered into the cavity
and finally adjusted the pincers. There
was a slight scuffle, a groan or two and
then the dentist exhibited the decayed
molar between the jaws of the forceps.
The promised 85 was handed over and
the men talked politics as the car rat-
tled down the street.
The Bicycle Icicle.
The professor is very punctilious
about the use of language. His young~
est daughter has learned to ride a.
wheel, and the fact is very apparent in
her conversation. Now and then he
moved unea<i1y in his chair, but he
made no comment. After a time he
said:
“Lucia, would you mind closing that
door? I am getting as cold as an ike.”
She aroSe to obey, and then turned
with a. puzzled look and inquired;
“As cold as a. what?’
“As cold as an ike. ”
“I don t understand you.”
“That is very strange. It seems to
accord with your theory of verbal ex-
pression. If a bicycle can consistently
be called a ‘bike,’ Isee no possible ob-
jection to my alluding to an icicle as an
ike.”——Detroit Fre Press.
\Tasn’t Running.
Her mother asked little Dot to go
into the next- room and see if the clock
was running, for she had not heard it
strike all afternoon. Dot came run-
ning back. put her head in at the door.
and exclaimed:
- "Why, no, mamma, de clock ain’t a.-
running- It is des standin’ still an’ a-
waggin’ its tail.”—Sacred Heart Re-
view.
