The action of .the Connecticut demo
cratic Btato convention mis a distinct
rlctory for the sound money clumont of
the party. The financial plank of the
platform declares that "tho democracy
of Connecticut Is now , as It has ever
been , lu favor of bimetallism as enun
ciated by Jeffe/sou , affording , as It does ,
the most stable standard of value , and
wo declare ourselves unalterably oj > -
posed to monometallism of any kind. "
Deferring to 'this the New York Times
observes that the free coinage of silver ,
as the experience of the world teaches
nnd everybody knows , leads promptly
to silver monometallism. This the demo
crats of Connecticut nre unalterably op-
iosed to and therefore they have nc
lympathy with the free silver , 10 to ]
It'ineiut of the democracy. They are
omewhat astray , however , In regard
o Jefferson. That great statesman was
ot a blmctulliflt according to the pros-
iit-day Idea. On the contrary he rocos-
Izctl gold as the standard. It was
Thomas Jefferson who said that "the
roporllon between the values of roli1
utV silver Is a mercantile problem alto
x'ther , " while as to fixing a ratio lu
cclarcd that "Just principles will lead
s to disregard the legal proportion a !
ogcthcr , to Inquire Into the market
rice of gold In the several countries
vltli which we shall principally be con
cctcd in commerce and 'to ' take ai :
vcrage from them. " Thus JelTersoi
'ccogiilzoil ' gold as the standard ol
alue. Consequently It Is not correct t (
all him a bimeUillist , as that term I ;
low understood.
None the less the position of the Con
cetlcut democrats Is significant and I in
lortant as showing a trend In the rlgh
Ircctlon. And they are not alone. Tin
lemocraLs of Pennsylvania , Delaware

udlcatlon that those of New York vll
'ollow the example. In the event o

ng the Chicago platform , as appears
ilghly probable , that fact will exert i
; reat Influence upon the party In othe
tatcs and will count very strongly 01
ho side of Hound money. It Is reassur

LIQVOll QUKSTION IN CANADA.
Next Thursday the people of Canadi
ivlll vote on the question of prohlbltln
he sale of liquors In the Dominion. Fo
i month or more an active campaign ha
been prosecuted nnd It Is said that tli
result Is In considerable doubt , the fac
hat some of the provinces have at on
imo or another voted for prohlbltlo
; lvlng the temperance advocates muc
encouragement , while the opponents c
: he movement derive satisfaction froi
; he other fact that neither of the pro
nccs followed the vote by prohlbllor
legislation.
Estimates of the Canadian liquor tra
fie show that the expenditure for Into :
cants last year In the Domlnlo
amounted -10,000,000 , which Is aboi
$8 per capita of the population. The *
estimates are based on the quantity c
Iquors Imported or paying excise tax an
uake no allowance for subsequent dlli
tlon , so that the amount spent , by coi
suniers Is undoubtedly much larger. Tl
figures computed by the Internal rev <
nue department show that In the la :
three decades there has been a pract
cally continuous decrease In the amoui
of spirits and wine consumed and a
Ir-.creaso In the consumption of beer. C
the $ -10,000,000 spent last year for llquoi
In the Dominion It Is estimated that ifir
000.000 was the cost of the liquor an
$23,000,000 the expenses and profits <
distillation.
In the coming election It is hardly 1
be expected that all of the province
will vote one way , or that lu all of the :
the alllrmatlvo vote will be so large f
to obviate the objection that It does in
represent the majority of those eiitltli
to vote. In either case an excuse wl
be afforded , as heretofore , for the go'
ernment falling to introduce a prohlL
tory law , or for the parliament to rejci
it. The constitutional objection has a
ready been raised that the question

The probability Is that the prohihttlonis
will get nothing more out of the plobl

Omaha has a special Incentive
make the coming Ak-Sar-Ben fcstlvltli
eclipse everything In the nature of sin
lar gala displays ever before made. Tl
Ak-Sar-Bi-n , It must bo remembered ,
a permanent Institution. This year
has the advantage of the exposition i
a concurrent drawing card , and 1
parades arc sure to bo witnessed 1
hundreds of thousands of strangers wl
have not participated In the festivals <
previous years.
What Is wanted Is to Impress as mai
of these visitors as possible with BUI
good opinion of Omaha and Us peon
as will make them look forward to a
tending the next Ak-Sar-Ben demoustr
tlou and strengthen their business ai
social relations with this city.
The success of the Ak-Sar-Ben festh
ties , however , depends largely upon tl
co-operation of the citizens of Omah
The effectiveness of the parades will I
enhanced or marred by the clmract
of the Illuminations and dccoratlo
along the Hue of march. In the pa
the city has done most creditably
both these directions , the street lllun
nations being not only attractive b
unique , and the decorations on tl
whole artistic and tasteful. Buslne
men and householders should feel thei
Helves spurred on , therefore , to she
proper appreciation of the occasion 1
decorating their places and entering In
the spirit of the demonstration. The
decorations should be retained In pla
during the pence jubilee week that
to. follow , when , everyone will want
riithuse over the distinguished guests o
he exposition.

3I1MTAUY Oil CIVIL. AUTHORITY.
The paramount question confronting
he French people is whether military
or civil authority shall prevail and it if
a question that must bo speedily deter
nlned. The course pursued by Geneia
/Curliuden , military governor of Paris
n the case of Colonel Picquart , was H
itter disregard if not defiance of tin
civil authority and If his action. 10
; arded by some as distinctly t'vason
ible , Is allowed , to stand , the next stei
on the part of the military power : naj
> e to place the nation under a dictator
ship controlled by the army , thus brim ;
ing to u close the tnlrd republic am
nvUlng revolution.
It Is announced that the cabinet wll
Jeclde today on the proposed revisloi
of the Droyfus ens- ? , but It is hlghlj
probable that some -'xuise will bo fount
for further delay. It Is a very easy matter
tor for some member of the cabinet ti
bo absent and thus furnish a plauslbli
reason for postponing action. But thi :
sort of thing cannot be long continued
i'ho strain hus become si > great that tin
ministry will be oimricUM to soon nc
or relinquish pow-M1. The premier , M
Brlsson , has already incunxM genera
displeasure and iie cannot much longe
withstand the demand for decisive ne
tlou. It would be a. most unfortu ati
thing for France If ih-j civil authorit ;
should surrender to the military.
Judge Sullivan was vaccinated wit !
liome rule principles In the cradle am
believes In home rule as religiously a
Im docs lu the bible. But when th
Issue of home rule was presented In th
supreme court from the republican sld
he abjured his lifelong convictions am
ruled in opposition to the principle o
homo rule In order to sustain a pope
cratlc police commission. In the attac
on the republican mayor of Omaha I
was natural for Judge Sullivan to sid
with Broatch , but why he should b
joined by Judge Harrison is inexplicabl
In view of the notorious fact that froi
start to finish the attack on Mayo
Moores was engineered from popocratl
headquarters , supported by the pop <
cratlc organ and the faction of the re
publican party that has been Identltie
with the Hcrdman gang of politic : )
hold-ups. Imagine the conditions re
versed , would-'Sullivan or any othe
popocratlc Judge join the republicans i
making capital against the popocratl
party , especially in the midst of a me
meutous campaign ?
Judge Norval strikes the keynote u
the Brontch-Moorcs contest when he de
plnrcs that under the constitution of th
United States every man charged wit
crime Is entitled to a trial by a jury o
his peers. In the Broateh-Moores cas
the verdict was rendered by one mai :
and that man consorting during the cu
tire progress of his inquisition with th
personal and political enemies c
Moores. Had a jury trial been ordore
the prosecution would have bee
dropped at once. It would have bee
dropped also had the referee been a ma
of recognized judicial ability and unai
proachablo to outside lulluences , Ilk
Judge Wakeley or Judge Hopewell.

Ijondoji Truth.
I was reading an , article the other da ;
commentlnc on , pur future relations wltl
the United States. , The writer opined tha
the two countries .arc destined hencefor
ward to act togethpr because "experlenci
has shown that conimon Interests furnlsl
the strongest bonds .between nations. " The ;
do ; but It does.pot.follow , that we and thi
United States Ipavo Identical Interests. W <
are free traders , the Americans are pro
tectionists ; the United States Is tcrrl
torlally compact ; our empire sprawls ovei
the entire globe. We rule over million
on millions of subjects to whom wo di
not grant rights ) oft self-government. Tin
United States .hiui np to now eschewet
this mode of ruling and whether It wll
change Its policy In this matter Is doubt'
ful. In respect to China , the United State ;
Is hardly likely to seek to secure a sphen
ot Influence thore. Her aim will be ti
trade with the Chinese by way of the Pa
clflc. She will , therefore , be In favor o
the open door. But as regards Chin ;
proper , I have never yet seen any sign tha
any one nation has an Intention to clos
It to others and , provided that the com
merclal door remains open , the United State ;
cannot care ona brasa'farthlng whether we
Russia , France or Germany enjoy the great
est political Influence at Pckln. It Is doubt
ful whether railroads In China will pay. Far
therefore , from joining In the quarrel abou
who Is to build them there , she will leav <
olhora to do this , and then use them.
No man Is a stronger advocate of our keep
Ing on the best terms with the United State ;
than I am. But this union of hearts whlcl
has been advocated by our newspapers I ;
mere sentimental trash , entirely outside thi
area of practical politics. To what docs 1
amount ? We flnd ourselves cold-shoulder-i
by the great continental powers of Kuropi
and wo are terribly affrighted lest our com
merclal supremacy In. the far east shouli
suffer , for they are all competing with u ;
there , and Russia has secured to herself :
land route to China. We , therefore , havt
been for the last two or three months sug
gesting to the Americans that , as they on
our kith and kin , they ought to join with in
In some sort of alliance. A country Is ac
tuated by Its own Interests alone and a mon
thoroughly practical nation than the Amer
icans does not exist on the globe. Even oup
posing that they were to retain the Philip
pines , they would do their best to remali
friends with all other nations , and the par-
tlcular ally of none , for the plain and slniph
reason that this is to their Interest.
The advantng-a of prophecy In regard ti
future events Is that the prophecy Is forgot
ten before the future becomes the present
I therefore hazard this prophecy : Th <
United States will , now that it has clenrci
Spain out of the American continent , bcfon
very long fall back on the Idea that thi
whole of the. North American continent am
all the West Indian Islands should be Inde
pendent of all connection with Europe.

provision for the payment of governor's pri

and no unbearable remorse of conscience Is
experienced In consequence. Governor Hoi-

b n-ity t ; at lies In the ever-Increasing p r-
fci-tlon of Its IHncsH fur the conditions that
have to bo met one Is renlly paying n
tribute to the brains , energy and character
of the western farmer. I have been on
the Hungarian plains and witnessed the
costly attempts of a progressive govern
ment to teach the land owners nnd peasants
the use of Improved farm machinery Im
ported from Ameilcn or else adapted from
American types. And I have also observed
what Is confessed by the government and
noted by nil whp visit these regions the
persistent fact of scores ot men , women
and children In the corn fields with old-
fnshlontd hoes , whllp long rows of white
tuntckcd men , In the hay field or the ripe
grain , are swinging sickles nnd shorl
scythes. And a llttl ? later In the season tl
Is common enough to r.eo tbu oxen treading
out the grain , or to hear the thud of the
descending flail. Meanwhile the now-fash
ioned corn plows are rusting ; the rejected
mowing and reaping machines rot In thclt
neglected corners , and the threshing ma
chine Is viewed askance ns an Ill-omened
monstrosity.
H Is all simply a difference In men. It It
a great race that has peopled our prairies
and plains and that Is producing corn , wheat
and oats by the thousands ot millions ot
bushels where only a few years ago there
was the ancient matted sod of the prairies ,
unbroken for centuries. The men who drive
the gang-plow , ride the sulky cultivator ,
manipulate the twine binder and send mil
lions of horned cattle , hogs nnd sheep to the
packing establishments of Omaha , Kansas
City and Chicago nro to be credited with a
series of achievements worthy not merely ol
respect , but cvea ot eithualaam. I cannot for
a mom-ent doubt the ability of such men to
rear a fine and varied fabric of clvlllzat'.ot ;
upon co great \ material foundation.

The claim Is rather late In coming , bill
It Is better late than never. The hero ol
Manila Is a Celt and his real name oughl
to be Admiral George Tuhcy. John Tuhej
of Chicago says so and John ought to know
If years give wisdom , for he Is 81 past
When asked how the admiral , whom h <

name from Tuhey to Dewey the old mar
said : "All my children call themselves
Dewey and spell tholr name In the same
way as the admiral does. I suppose thej
want to make their names sound nion
American. Dut the commodore never wcni
back on anything Irish but the spelling o
his name. The admiral changed the spell
ing of his name when ho was on the Potomac
mac durlnc the war to Americanize thi
cognomen. That was after ho left us , bill
If any one should tell him ho was no :
of Irian descent he would want to cut hli
throat. It was six years aso when 1 las
saw the admiral. Ho was In New York
but be came to see me and stopped wltl
comrades he had had In the war In Youngstown -
town , O. , where I was for about eight 01
nlno months. Two of my sons , Thomai
and William , who spell their names Dewey
are on board of the admiral's vessel , oni
of them bclnc an engineer. They are 5 !

PERIODS OF PAIN.
Menstruation , the balance Vflieel of

great suffering.
While no woman is entirely free from
periodical pain , it does not seem to have
been na
ture's plan
that women
otherwise
healthy
should suffer
BO severely.

Dolan turned hl fnco away , pulled th
clothes about his shoulders and obediently
settled himself , but "I'at" stared slralghJ
before him.
"Oo to sleep , I'at , " coaxed the surgeon.
"Sleep Is the best medicine for you. "
"Mr. Latterly , If yo jitare , doctor. I want
to maintain my dignity , If I am shot
through the breast. "
"Well , Mr. Utterly , then , " said tha
young physician , amiably. "Oo to sleep.
You'll bo better lu the morning. "
"Not once shall I shut mo eyes tonight ,

awake. I can fight death. I don't Intlnil

I don't Intlnil to die. "
The doctor smiled nt Pat's determination ,
but ho had little hopes for him. The poor
Irishman was sorely wounded. Whenever
he passed by I'nt's cot. howpvcr , ho found
him with his cyea staring wldo open nnd
once felt bis pulse , fearing that unwel
come death had already come.
"Don't yo bo uncnsy , doctor , " sflld the
patient , faintly , struggling with pain. "Mr.
Lafferty Is not goln' to die tonight. "
In the morning , when the nurse came to

a fair way to recovery. Hut his friend ami

When his country has battles to fight ,
Is a hero nnd merits a hfro'a rewnrd ,
His prnlso should bu earnestly sung ;
Hut another who shines In the sight of tht
Lord
Is the man who can hold his tongue.
The man with the silvery voice who con

For the cause thnt Is Just In debate ,
And the man who sees dancer , yet bravely

Are men who Invoke the world's wonder
