PATRIOTISM, PROTECTION and PROSPERITY. ¥OR PRESIDENT— WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Obio FOR VICF-PRESIDENT— GARRET A. HOBART, of New Jersey ELECTION NOV BER 3, 1896. Chairman Daniel’s speech was decidedly a dull thud. The people ask for work and Democracy offers them wind. Eastern Democrats may not bolt but they are preparing to scatter. It is becoming evident that when local politics opens up it will open up big. Senator Hill deciares he doesn’t feel sore, but he admits his feelings were hurt. Whitney continues to decline—not the Presidency—but in public estimation. If the goldbug free-traders bolt there will be no place for them but England. Daniel went to Chicago with a reputa- tion as anorator. He will leaveit witha valise. If the Populists consent to fuse with any such gang as that at Chicago they deserve to be lost. About this time Senator Teller begins to wonder what he got off for and where he got off at. The Chicago convention has made things look squally for Democracy, but the coun- try is all right. There is one sign of improvement in Democracy. Ithasrepented of Cleveland- ism and repudiated it. As the platfarm demands an income tax ‘Wwe have another evidence that Democracy never learns apything. The turning down of Tarpey is another victory for Daggett. The mintseems to be working as a scalp factory. Altgeld is a good boss so far as managing men is concerned, but the work he gets out, of them is always & pad job. — Before Monterey celebrates another semi- centennial she will be a bigger town and have more room for visitors. The free-irade rooster cannot crow for ireesilver, and if Democracy.wants a bird this year she will have to take a goose. When Cleveland raised the dustof the money question to hide the tariff issue he never dreamed that it would obscure him also. Mr. Cleveland may now have himself depicted as the Ancient Mariner, “Alone, alone—all, all alone; alone on the deep, deep sea.” Compare the speech of Thurston at St. Louis with that of Daniel of Chicago and see the difference between eloquence and platitudes. Over in the greenback-using East they, know about as much of the question of standard coins as & goat knows of high art in bill posters. About this time the administration has begun to feel very sorry that it eyer put the money question to the front to keep people from talking of tke fiasco tanff. The Yale boys have the satisfaction of knowing that while they d1d not win the prize they pulled off an international boat- race without a squabble and they deserve a medal for that. Gold money is good and silver money is good, but without work a man can get neither gold nor silver, and therefore the people demand protection to American in- dustry as the first issue in the campaign. —— Tha Republican pledge to promaote inter- national bimetallism is worth more to intelligent advocates of free siiver coinage than all the Democrats or Populists could promise though they talked from now till doomsday. All classes of farmers have felt the de- pression caused by the overthrow of the protective system, and as a consequence the Populist as well as the Democratic party will see many of its members cast a straight vote on election day for MecKin- ley and protection. e ST IR There is a report that General Maceo not only passed the Bpanish trocha buten- tered Havana and took a leisurely stroll about the streets; and while the story may not be true the fact that it is current shows what. the: Havana people think of the situation and of the possibilities that exist in it. A correspondent of the New York Tri- bune says that frost is an increasing dan~ ger to the orange industry of Florids, as the records show the “frost line” is stead- jly moving southward in the State and cold waves are becoming severer every year. We may yet have to take on our- selyes the task of supplying all the citrus frpits needed in this countrye SILVER REPUBLICANS. ‘We have received from various parts of Ahe State letters from silver Republicans asking how they can support the St. Louis ticket and platform without being adverze to the great cause of bimetallism and free silver. These lettersattestin every line the earnestness which marks the character of the true patriot who desires to vote right, and they are, therefore, de- serving the attention of the public gen- erally. Those who are in doubt on this issue have not read the St. Louis platform clearly, nor do they understand existing conditions rightly. The St. Louis platform does not declare for the gold stindard. On the contrary, it pledges the party and its candidate for the Presidency to pro- mote international bimetallism. This declaration is certainly not adverse to the movemgnt toward the free coinage of silver. As a matter of fact some ot the most earnest advocates of silver have long advocated just such a course, and ail free- silver men can consistently support it as a first step toward the accomplishment of what they so much desire. The issue becomes hetter understood, however, when we consider it in relation to the whole sitnation. A vote against the St. Louis ticket and platform would be a vote against not only bimetallism by in- ternational agreement but against the protective tarimr system and American 1n- dustry. It would be a vote against the party of efficient government in favor of the party of bungling and misgovern- ment. It would be to turn away from the soldier candidate McKinley and all that his heroic record in war and peace repre- sents, to ally one’s self with the crowd ruled by the anarchist Altgeld of Chicago, or the ignorant and sectional Tilman of South Carolina. If we turn from the Nation at large to this State we shall see abundant ressons why all intelligent and conservative busi- ness men and workingmen should remain true to the Republican party and give an earnest support to the St. Louis ticket. In California the silver question is not an issue. All parties are pledged to it. Re- publicans, Democrats, Populists and Pro- hibitionists are agreed on that issue. Every candidate for Congress from this State, ho matter on what ticket he runs, will be favorable to iree coinage. The di- viding issues with us are those of protec- tion against free trade and of capable men against incompetency and bungling. The Democratic administration failed as much from weak men as from bad measures. The party could not act together on any subject, and the result was a fiasco in every branch of the Government and in every administrative department. The first issue before us is the restora- tion of prosperity, the revival of industry, the employment of idle men and the re- establishment at Washington of a Govern- ment capable of dealing with great ques- tions in a statesmanlike way. When we have provided work for the people, en- acted a tariff that will yield a revenue to the Government, turned the balance of trade in our favor and have at the Na- tional capital a body of able, resolute and united men to manage the affairs of the Republic, we will be in a position from which we can go forward to bimetallism without danger to our finances or disturb- ance {o our industries, and it is to that end therefore that all true bimetallists should work during the campaign and vote on election day. ALTGELD'S PLATFORM. Inasmuch as the majority of the dele- gates to the Democratic convention went to Chicago for the express purpose of com- mitting the party to the free and unlim- ited colnage of silver without qualification or safeguards of any kind it is no surprise that the platform speaks upon that ques- tion with emphasis. But, on the other band, it is in the nature of a defito all the world and implies an independence of the commercial world which our farmers more especially do not want. The Democracy would needlessly antagonize our grain and provision pro- ducers in the markets where they seil their surplus produce. Moreover, there is an intima.ion that, as Mr. Boies puts it, as between all silver and all gold as the meial for redemption-money *the first named would be prelerable. It will be seen that although the platform declares for the free coinage of both gold and silver it does nov necessarily mean bimetallism, since in any event silver must be coined. The difference between the Chicago and St. Louis platforms on that question is clear and distinct. The latter is for the coinage of both metals in a way that their parity as redemption moaey will be main- tained under any and all circumstances. The Wilson-Gorman tariff act is prac- tically indorsed. Althougn the wording of that plank is vague, yet when taken in connection with the declaration on the income-tax question, it is plain to be seen that the idea is to add to the free list and make up the deficit by swamping the Supreme Court, so that a decision favorable to the income tax theory of col- lecting revenue may be adopted, which shall be the policy of the Govermment. The only protection to American labor provided for is such by immigration laws as shall prohibit the “landing in this country of competing workingmen of that kind, but meanwhile the gates are to be opened wide to the importation of goods and wares that are produced by pauper labor in other countries. The platform contains the usual Democratic glittering but meaningless generalities, and the document shows ibat its making was in new and untried hands. It is just such a declaration of principles as will re- quire continued explanation by the party. In short, it is a piece of patchwork throngh- out. NOW FOR THE POPULISTS. Now for the Populist National Conven- tion. 1t meets July 22 at St. Louis, and the attendance is likeiy to be very much larger than at either the Republican or Democratic gatherings. The hotels of St. Louis do not expect to be overrun, but keepers of boarding-houses are preparing to reap a bountiful harvest. The old leadersare in favor of the Omaha platform, but some of the younger mem- bers want more practical politics and less sentiment. The Omaba declaration de- mands Government ownership of the rail- way and telegraph lines; the abolition of the national bank system; the free coinage of silver; the resumption of the issning of greenbacks; the right of the citizen to bor- row money of the Government at a nom- inal rate of interest; a system of storage ‘warehouses where farmers may store their grain until satisfactory prices are reached ; postal savings banks, and free trade in ail manufactured goods, but not in farm prod- ucts or raw material thatisa product of this country. Mr. Taubeneck, who is the gniding spirit of the Populist party, is of the opinion that the party would make a erave mis. take were it to indorse the Chicago nomi- nees. He claimed that the Democrats cannot be trusted to carry out the Populist programme; besides, in the one theory of government only the free coinage of silver are theparties at all in harmony, and it would be an abject surrender of all tue Populist party has labored for to in- dorse or in any way affiliate with the new Democracy. For once the Populists will show evidence of possessing some sound political sense if they stick to that resolve. DEMOCRACY'S PURFOSE. The speech of Senator 3. W. Daniel, tem- porary chairman of the convention, voiced the new doctrine of the Democratic party. There were other speakers, but their utter- ances were merely sound and fury, signi- fying nothing. The principles of the party which had been proclaimed by fifteen pre- ceding National Conventions as containing the sum total of the desire of the party's heart were ruthlessly cast aside and Alt- geld’s tale of woé substituted for them. Mr. Daniel put it well when he said “the party began with tbe sunrise in Maineand spread into a sunburst in Louisiana and Texas.” ‘When the sun bursts there is everlasting darkness, and there is where the once grand and glorious Democratic party lies weeping and walling and gnash- ing its teeth. How are the mighty fallen! There was cunning in Altgeld’s purpose in selecting Virginia's great orator to pro- claim that upon coming to the parting of the ways the Democracy had taken the left-hand road. The occasion needed just such glittering generalities ana rhetorical rubbish as Mr. Daniel could weave and dig up to divert the mind and cover over the dastardly work. But will there not be “a Daniel come to judgmenti” by and by, when the spirit of the Democracy of Jef- ferson and Jackson cries out for rescue from Altgeld’s whited eepulcher? The principles laid down by the father of America’s Declaration of Independence, and which were defended by the hero of New Orleans, rolied into a football by a son of the mother of Presidents for an- archists to kick hither and yon! It is not surprising that in sounding the “keynote’’ of the campaign Mr. Daniel should lay all the troubles that haye come to humanity, including the fall of Adam, at the door of the money question, but it is surprising that a man of his character should become such an abject slave of Alt- geld. Mr. Daniel stated to the convention that the commercial failares, industrial in- activity, idle workmen and general de- pression in recent years all came as the legitimate consequence of the so-called de- monetization of 'silver in 1873, but he knows very well that the tone of business operations of all kinds was generally healthy and that the wage-earners had vlenty of opportunity to employ their skill and energy in all the years between 1873 and the substitution of Democratic free trade for reasonable protection. He knows very well that it is not the “silver question” but the operation of the Wilson- Gorman tariff act that has kept the busi- ness interests of the country in the em- brace of disaster the past three years. Mr. Daniel made no reference at all to the operation of the tariff law which his party enacted, except to roundly abuse the Supreme Federal Court for not decid- ing the income act constitutional in defi- ance of what the constitution distinctly declares. He skimmed on the crest of the Populist silver wave, and crowded his speech full of bold and broad assertions, but not one of his suggestions was fortified with a logical reason. But then the new leaders of his party are masters in the art of deception, and in ratio to their ability to mislead the people will they sncceed in laying hands upon the machinery of the Government. WOMEN BIOY(OLE RIDERS. In Washington, D. C., there is a society called “The Woman’s Rescue League,’* and just now it is making war upon the bicycle as a means of rapid trapsit or pleasure for women. The league pro- claims that “immorality is alarmingly on the increase among American women,”’ and all because of the horrid bicycle. It may be that the ladies of the Rescue League are actnated by the loftiest and most sincere motives, but for all that it is unfortunate for themselves that they have so little confidence in their sex. It may be, too, that the rescuers are in a measnre right when they say that the bicycle pro- moted immorality, but a mere assertion that it is so does not make it so. Undoubtedly the bicyele tends to more familiar association between men and women than some other ways of enjoying companionship, but if the logic of these rescuers is good to apply to bicycle riding it is good to apply to buggy riding or walking, It is the guilty mind that suspicion most troubles. No doubt women would be safer if they were kept in seclu- sion, and they would be safer still if they were in their graves, but there would be no thought of their safety if men were fitted to coffins and the lids nailed down. Now, a true woman does not compro- mise her modesty a whit more on the bicyele than she does riding on a street- car or a buggy. All things are evil to the evil-minded. It so happens that a great many women use the bicycle for convenience. They have to go from place to place on legiti- mate business, and it is quite as proper to go on-a bicycle as it is to walk. Then very many women ride the bicycle for health and others for pleasure, and if there be anything immoral in it it is dis- covered by others than those who ride wheels. Itisvery true that some women bicycle riders adopt costumes that mignt be spliced out a little with the same kind of material, but the same is very much more true of some men bicyclists. The fact is, these are not the days of the May- flower, but there are just as many good and true women now as there were in those days. The members of the Rescue League might better attend to rescuning theirown mindsfrom the many unfounded suspicions which appear to keep them in a state of agitation. s DEMOCRATIC CIVIL SERVICE.

A curiously old-fashioned tary caricature appeared in & recent numl the artist wrote to explain that it haa been drawn, accepted and paid for twenty-five years R G ALUS STz C <= MUSICIAN (77 HOW HISTORY IS MADE.—Don Chisciotte, & Roman neyspaper, has been amusing its readers by publishing a criticism on the first performance of Verdi’s “Ernani,’ which, it £ays, was published in L'Illustration in 1846. The paper adds that on its first performance the work was not entitled “Ernani,” on ac- count of Victor Hugo’s prohibition, but was produced under the title of *The Proscript.” “Since Verdi wrote his ‘Nabucco,” says the critic of L’llustration, “he has certainly made progress. The eomposer’s thought seems now o be more clearly developed, the instrumenta- tiou is less noisy, and more regard is shown for humen vofce. Signor Verdiis not yet prodigal of melody, but he is less miserly of it than before, and his style has more force, warmth enddash. In the ensemble work he rises to great power.” The critic sums up his opinion ©of the composer by saying: *This opera does not put Verdi among composers of the first rank, but he is & musician of merit who has some brillianc; d eclat. For the rest, be is young, and perbaps may do better. It will be worth paying attention to what he goes on producing. If he succeeds in acquiring more power for writing melody and learns to vary his effects, if he gets a little more sensibility and passion, he may perhaps become one of ths notable artists of his day.” The strangest thing is that “Ernani” was first produced at Venice in 1844, under its present title. Perhaps it was a pirated edition of the work that L'Illustration criticized two years later. The financial difficulties of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau have been adjusted, snd the firm is now resuming business. This means that New York is to have another opera season in 1896, and with Melba, the De Reszkes and the rest of the great company of last year. The re- 1 SNz NN NN 7 S S 7 7SS NS v <7 s . ¥4 done so badly that a complete rehabilitation has now become necessary. A committee has been formed at Arnstadt to raise the funds necessary for this important restoration, and the town is prepuring & grand Bach festival, which it is expected will attract devotees of the great John Sebastian from all parts of Ger- many. All the proceeds to the festival will be devoted to the restoration of the historic or- gan. It is in France particularly that the femaile composer is being honored and feted, probably because France adores art and the female composer there is doing her work well. Rouen, the town of Joan of Arc, has been holding a grand exposition and instead of letting the composers of the sterner sex monopoliize the musical part of the affair it was resolved that the exposition’s special musical attraction shonld consist of an Augusta Holmes festival A number of this gifted Irish-French compos- er’s works were performed, including her patri- otic “Ludis pro Patria’” and her “Ireland.” The hall was filled to overflowing and ovations were lavished upon the music, which was rendered by a grand orchestra end chorus and by soloists from the Grand Opera-house of Paris. After the terrible chandelier accident at the Opera Comique it was resolved to adopt & more modern system of lighting the house and Gailhard, the manager, is now in London examining the mode of lighting employed at tne Empire and the Savoy.

[Reproduced from an engraving.] babilitation of the firm has been brought about with wonderful speed. Meeting with overwhelming disaster they have made a settlement in six weeks and are again on their feet, 50 to sprak. Abbey was lying almost at the point of death when the bankruptey oceurred, yet he managed to gather strength enough in a few weeks to face the situation and make a great and determined fight to save the firm from utter financial annihilation. He has his enemies; they are determined in opposition and they think they have good cause for their attitude. But, however that may be, they cannot but admire the manner in which be, ill and weakened, struggled to his feet and put up a gallant fight to retrieve his lost position. Anotber fact that greatly embittered Abbey’s condition was the announcement made in the Qepths of his disaster that his wife, Florence Gerard Abbey, intended to leave him and re- turn to the stage. Various reasons have been assigned for this step, but the real facts are not definitely known. It will be nine years next February since Florence Gerard left the stage. Since that time the general public has only known er as a handsome woman smartly gowned, who has figured as & striking feature in boxes at theopers n the various cities her husband has visited in his role of impresario. She has been an important factor in the Abbey, Schoeffel and Grau Company, however, on ac- count of her tact and skill in managing the visiting sriists, keeplug peace between the con- tending elements and being absolutely neutral in the midst of the jealousy of rival stars. Her imwediate friends say she has been a good wife and a good mother to the children she found in Abbey’s household when she became its mistress. Mrs. Abbey, who will be & great 10ss 1o her husband’s company, has no inten- tion of goirg on the lyric stage. She will prob- ably be seen in legitimate drama in New York next season. A large part of the credit for the satisfactory position, in which the Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau firm now finds itself is due to Mr. Grau. While Abbey was attending to the financial part of the affair Greu was abroad undertak- ing the delicate ana diplomatic work of keep- ing the artists from makicg new contracts while the settlement was being adjusted in New York. What would it have profited the firm had the creditors been appeased, only to find that the superb company had been scat- tered? When Abbey cabled to Grau that the creditors had practically unanimously con. sented to the ization of the firm Grau cabled back that he held the company. practi- cally intact, and that the artists were ready to come when wanted. There wasa Boston emd fo the affair also, and on this Schoeffel was ‘busily and successfully engaged. The little church of Arnstadt in Thuringia still contains the organ on which John Sebas- tian Bach played early in the eighteenth cen- tury, thatis to from 1704 to 1707. This instrument is considered to be one of the fin- est in Germany, which possesses 50 many re- markablo organs, ana the souvenirs attaching toit render it particularly iu . Un- fortunately it was restored for the first time ut tweaty years sgo, snd the work was gate the mode of lighting adopted in most of the San Francisco theaters he would learn of something safer still. Budapest has been giving a grand na- tional exposition, and the students of the town, resolving to celebrate Hungary’s thou- sandth birthday by lifting up their voices in song, banded themselves into a chorus 1400 strong end gave & monster concert in the vast gallery of the exposition. The students had been well trained, and the effect produced by their young, fresh and sonorous voices is said to have been superb. It would add a gooa deal to the effect of grand celebrations of Native Sons if something of the sort could be accomplished here. Mme. Ambroise Thomas has been so ill since her husband’s death that she has not been able to move from the apartments at the Con- servatory of Music in Paris, which belong to the directorate of that iustitution. Theodore Dubois, the new director, galiantly placed the rooms at her disposition as long as she wanted them, but as Mme. Thomes is now a littie better in health she has announced her inten- tion of moving to a flat in the Champs Elysees. Saint-Saens had one jubilee performance and liked it so well that now he has had a sec- ond. Itwasof amore private character than the first affair and took place at the home of Mr. Gigout in Paris. Gigout boasts that he learned to improvise from attending the church of the Madeleine when Baint-Saens played the organ there. Itis announced that Siegiried Wagner, the “Heir to the Name,” will be one of the con- ductors at Bayreuth this year. The other chefs d’orchestre will be Dr. Hans Richter of Vienna and Felix Mottl of Carlsrube. Mlle.

In this particular instance it was & waist of fancy silk,to be worn with separate skirts, but the same model is seen in costumes of one fabric. A dress of foulard in blueé, with & white figure, had an edege of narrow Val. lace on every rufile, with bands to match it lengthwise on the bodice. A linen batiste had rufles edged with em- broidery on the same fabric, which had two edges, the batisté being cut out under. The effect was the same as embroidery done on the fabric. A gown of black canvas, with a violet and green silk lining, had the ruffles lined with tiny pleatings of the silk, These pleatings ap- pesred again on the waist, being set on length- i , two on either side, and one directly in the center; at the opening. The pleating is the finest made, and is an inch and an eighth wide when finished. The waist has a fitted lining; the ruffle is cut circular and slightly ruffled.
