the silver plank and the demand

What is good in our past history

country. This is patriotism. In

look forward to their posterity who
never look backward to their an

To (he editor of the World: Holland is a
prosperous country and pei haps the richest,
comparatively, in the w rid. Sil /er is the
only metal besides the bills to circulate in
Holland and in her colonies. Tiie condition

plainly. On Aug. S, the statement was:
Gold 31,615,000 gulden
Silver 82,569,000 gulden
Bills in circulation 193, 02,000 gulden
Instead of making comparisons with Mex

A MISFIT STATESMAN.
Mr. Bourke Cock ran is a very fat
and robust man and quite given
Gne speech making. It is generally
remembered that he makes hi
speeches always at the wrong tim
and then wraps‘a rather common
place set of ideas up in a vast over
Gow of superfluous dictionary and
select rhetoric. His well conned
iamp-smeliing speech at Chicago in
1892 was listened to with wrapt at
tenticn, appiauded and forgotten
never to be recalled in all proba
bility unless some enterprising Re
puliean antiquary resurrects it for
political purposes to confound Mr
Cockran when he next changes
His speeches in congress were very
teiliDg littie episodes against the
draught of oratory in the house
when he had the distinguished hon
or ofcompleteiy Glling one of the
chairs in the house of represent
lives. They enlivened it and stirred
up the goose bumps of the reporters
who heralded them into oblivion in
in the next issues of various United
Slates dailies.
His last “greatest effort of his life”
was at Madison Square Garden in
New York City answeri'g the Dem
ocratic nominee’s oration of accept
ance. He appeared in the role of
a newly fledged mugwumpian
McKinleyite, defending the Morgan
syndicate of treasury robberies, the
monopolies of the Hanna gang and
disputed the Democratic right to
change the financial condition of
the country. No speech -of re
cent date was so fearfully spattered
with dictionary as this one. It is said
(hat some one asked the irreverent
Tom Reed what he thought of it.
His criticism, coming from a Re
publican, was awful. “Words, noth
ing but words,” be replied, and left
Mr. Cockran’s oration on its journey
to obliviop.
Mr. Cockran is fat and hearty, as
before remarked, with a plenty of
life’s goods “to set ’em up” in wine
and savory mint julips when the
time and occasion require, and he
has as much idea of the necessities
of the South and West, or other
sections of the country outside of
his corner of obseryation as a
Dahomey chief has of the liberty of
a Chinese overseer on a rat farm.
But Mr.'Cockran has been toid he is
a great statesman and on this sub
ject being more easily persuaded to
accept the truth of it, than the fact
that there may be more money
necessary to supply the country’s
business than festal boards of Wall
street millionaires, he takes a pecul
iar course, starts off and without
looking behind thinks tho world is
following him.
Mr, Cockran’s reflections are all
gathered from the fuiure: most
other statesmen’s are from histories
of the past. But Mr. Cockran is a
poet and a rhetorician and he can
cJnstruct out of what has not been
and may never be enough to make
one of his “very greatest” on very
short notice. This orator and pe
culiar mugwumpian statesman is
fast becoming ridiculous if we can
judge from press comments.
