The platform of the itaruwcll DomoJ- ratry Is wise and well timed. “A wholeeome and judicious system «>f private banking’’ and the “free, unlim ited and Independent coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of-1 to 10” are the beat remedies' so^gesltui to correct the liuuncial evils now nlllicting the>>e United States. Neither of Itself Is sufficient, hut to gether they will cure unless the patient, Uncle Sam, bo past rocoveiy. The Uarnwell Democratic doctrine of private banking and free coinage should lx 1 made the middle, iieart planks, of the State and National plat forms. And tire ltarnwe:l delegation, while not directly instructed, is !tn- p ladly eharged to convey this message to the state Convention and to urge With all vigor and earnestness Its ac- ueptauce.

Secretary Herbert thought, | lion aver, that the aovVog common sense of the people would be equal to every emergmev eud And o proper solution | •f every dlMoolty as It arises. What ana needed, be raid In conclusion, was more political education among the The Secretary's speech no doubt aotlsAed himsalf and gratiAed bis err- tartainsrs, but ha bod and rnisaed the cbaiice to make It very much belter. Ilia state me nl of the causes that have produced “a feeling of discontent in the breasu of the many’’ was fair enough as far as It went, but be stop- . ped abort of reaching the strongest reason for the existing and increasing dissatisfaction.

It is indevd a condition of aarious peril if the saving force in the popula tion becomes discontented, and nothing : Nwsthan tire removal of the caUftfe* of dissatisfaction will bring back its alle giance. If the Secretary had studied ills charts as thoroughly as a good naviga tor should have done lie would have found out that a very large measure of the blame for the twisting discontent is justly chargeable to the tailureof suo- cessive administration* and Congresses to make any headway against the causes that have given It existence and encouraged Its growth- .Political education is more needed among the masters than among the masses.

It le mated upon what appears to he good authorityihst In ona of tbe parks lu the Spanish capital city of Madrid a niagnlftceni ring bangs by a silkea cord about the neck of tbe statue of the Mahl of Almodma, the patron saint of Madrid. This ring, though sat with diamond* and pearls. Is neverthelese entirely unguarded. The police pay no attention to it, nor i* there auy provis ion made for watching it by special of ficers, because It Is not believed that any thief, however daring, would ven ture to appropriate It to his own use, and when the history of the ring la considered, it I* hardly lo he wondered at that a superstitious people prefer to give it a wide birth. According to the story that 1* told of It the ring waa made for King AUouao XII., the father of the present boy King of Spain. Al fonso presented It to his cousin Merce des on th- day of their betrothal. How short Her married life was all know, a^.d on her death tbe King presented tbo ring to his grandmother.-Queen Christina. Hhortly afterward Queen Christina died, and tlie King gave the ring lo his sister, the Infanta del Pilar, who died dlthin tbe month following. The ring was then given to the young est daughter of the Duke de Montpen- sier. lu less than three months the died, and Alfonso, by this time fearing that there was some unlucky omen con nected with the bauble, put it away in his own treasure box. In less than a year the King himself died, and it was deemed best to put'the ring away from all the living. Henze,it was hung about the neck of the bronze effigy of the Meld of Almodma, where it ap- pear* to be us safe as though eur- rounded by a cordon of police. CHEATINGCROWH.
