A PLEA AND A CONFESSION. Mr. Wm. C. Whitney, of New York, seems to be very much dis tressed at the situation as he finds it, and seems also to be under the im pression that the only way to save the country from the advancing free silver columns is by an alliance be tween the Republicans and the "sound money" Democrats, on non partizan lines. He is also very much distressed that the gentlemen who are engineering candidate McKin ley 's business for him have shown so little disposition to meet the ad vances of the "sound money" Dem ocrats and tumble into' their em brace. The amusing part of all this busi ness is that a man of Mr. Whitney's experience and knowledge of the men who are running the Republican party . should have so utterly failed to grasp their true inwardness as to suppose for a moment that they would sink partisanship when there was any doubt as to how the sinking of the ' partisanship might pan out. They are in politics tor business, not as a matter of sentiment or fun. If they make any experiments they want to have some pretty good rea son to believe that the experiments would be safe, and they wouldn't like to take the word or the proffered aid of Mr. Whitney as the assurance. Mr. Whitney has recently issued an appeal to the Republicans in which he reproaches tneoa for tail ing to realize the impending danger, as shown in their indifference to the offered aid of the "sound money!' -kickers who went to Chicago and found an obstinate majority who x:ould neither be persuaded, coaxed nor driven from their purpose by threats. This appeal is unique as coming from a man of Mr. Whitney's reputation as an able leader and great politician. It is both a plea and a confession, a plea to practical, cold-blooded politicians who will laugh at its unsophisticated inno cence, and a confession of the strength and the onward progress of the free silver sentiment I think events and the coarse of the Republican leaders are making a third ticket inevitable. The general situation is far worse to d iy. in my opinion, than it was tea days ago. The Republican managers and candidates have shown no realizing sense of the situation. They have failed to avail of a great oppor tunity for benefiting the country. If the present condition of affairs continues for any length of time sound money Democrats are bouod to organize and it cannot be prevented. The truth is there does not seem to be in the East a realizing sense of the seriousness and sincerity of the free silver movement. You may call it a craze, but it has cap . tured the imagination of the great mass of people throughout the entire West and South, and it has a much stronger following in some portions of the East, not closely allied to large commercial centers, than is generally supposed. It is the result of reading and agitation. It has become a fixed opinion and an unreasoning one. I think it may be ac- cepted as a fact that the vast majority of free silver believers at this time are not open to conviction. Thetr minds are made op, and they are quite as little in clined to reason upon the subject as were the delegates whom they sent to Chicago.. ' - I was satisfied before we went to Chi- cago that nothing could be accomplish ed in the direction oicaaogiog or mum- tying the free silver idea, and I said so. Nevertheless it was our duty to go there and empbasize-the strength ot the con victions of the Eastern Democrats; and further, to afford the country an objsct linn Khnwin? so plainly that it could not be misunderstood the nn-Deniocratic and revolutionary spirit - which domi nated the movement. In this we were successful. The Democratic mask was pretty effectually removed from the face of the populism which had forced itself for the time being into a position of con trol. That was all that the sound money Democrats could hope to accomplish, and that they did effectually and unssll ishly. X-x '. There never has been in any party con vention such a vigorous declaration ot independence as was exhibited at Chi cago when two hundred and fifty-four delegates refused to participate in the selection of candidates. Mr. Whitney deplores the fact that there does not seem -to be a realiz ing sense in the Easof the serious ness or sincerity" of the free silver movement," which they have been in the habit of flippantly character- . . . .. j, i i izmgas a "craze, ana ne r minds them that this movement is reaching into the East even into the commercial centers from which the "sound money" missionaries have gone forth to enlighten the benight ed silverites and whence the "sound money league" sent out their tons of educational "sound money" litera tare. -This is perhaps the most in teresting, and notable statement irj this document, for,it is a pointed an swer to the oft-repeated and empha sized assertion that " thesilver issue is a sectional one thathas no strength outside of the Southland West, where designing "dema gogues" led and fooled the credu lous farmers into the belief that they were not prospering and never could prosper until gold was dethroned and silver put on top.- But Mr. Whitney herein confesses that it isn't sec tional at all and warns them if they do not wake up to the emergencies of the. situation this free silver movement may sweep the East and crush everything before it. It seems, also, that Mr. Whitney did not expect to stem this silver tide when he went to Chicago, but went there, as the gold delegates who co-operated with him did, to give the majority a chance to sit down on them and then get some satisfaction for being-sat upon. They went there with the pre-determina-tion to bolt, as Mr. Whitney expresses it, to "make a declaration, of inde pendence" aud now they are seeking the co-operation of the McKinleyites to make that declaration effective. But the terms he offers will not strike the McKinley managers as just the thing, for Mr. McKinley without the tariff would, under the present con ditions, cut a grotesque figure, and as the representative of "sound money" after his votes in Congress and his stradding since he would be even more grotesque. If Mr. Whit ney wants to do anything on the kicking line he should do the bold and consistent thing and boost a third ticket 3 , XIBOR MENTION. In a reported interview at St. Louis, with Senator Butler, published in the Star yesterday, he is quoted as saying that the Populist' conven tion merged partisanship to meet the Democrats more than half way, and this is what Senator Butler .Will tell his constituents to justify the coarse he and those who acted with him saw fit to pursue, a course on which many of them decided before they, reached St. Louis. The fact is the gentlemen who Insisted upon "nomi nating a Populist for Vice President didn't do exactly as they wanted to do, for they wanted to nominate a straight ticket, but felt the sentiment for full co-operation with the Demo crats too strong for that, and then they played for the nomination of a Populist Vice President in the inter est of "harmdhy." Mr. Butler says the delegates from the West were in favor of endorsing or nominating both Bryan and Sewall, the very thing they-sQOuld have done, bat the South and the East were opposed to this,-, some being in favor of a straight "middle of the road'' ticket, others of the split ticket as a com promise. The West, the birth place of the Populist party, rose to' "the realization of the situation and to the importance of presenting a solid front, of sinking partisanship in fact, not merely in a half way style, while the latter day recruits, - who came from States where the Populist party couldn't -stand alone, insisted on a course the only effect of which will be to complicate matters, with- , out putting the Populist nominee one inch nearer the Vice Presidency than he is now. Senator Sutler's talk about Mr. Sewall withdrawing is simply an exhibition of cheek that is admirable for its colossal propor tions. . The New York Sun, which now shines for Hanna and McKinley, doesn't take much stock in Mr. Whitney's plea to the Republican party to drop the tariff and stand on the sound money plank." The Sun's teason is that the nomination of a third ticket by the gold Democrats would rather weaken than strengthen McKinley s chances of election. Therefore it prints the following for Mr. Whitney's thoughtful considera tion: ; " ..; ; If Mr. Whitney's last proclamation was intended to enunciate the fact that a division ti the sound money Demo cratic vote will increase the chances of Bryan's election, the document may serve some useful purpose. It may have some effect upon the sin gular minds which are reasoning thai me way to conquer is to divide. Otherwise. Mrr Whitney's latest ut terance u about as injudiciously con ceived ai anvthlno tho J lrom the same getleman since he took a 1 band In contemporaneous politics This is no time for the exhibition ol t petty partisan querulousness toward" pur allies in the fight. - ' The way is open to Mr. Whitney and to all other friends ibf honest money to make their votes count two apiece for the cause for which they profess soli citude. -fi:y'r.y''-r'-: If they regard the caosa as abova par tis inship and Mr. Whitney says he does -let them quit snarling at the Republi cans for alleged deficiencies of conduct and vote like men of courage for the only candidate whose election will prevent the free coinage of silver and all its dire ful consequences. A : i' ; ; : : : Whatever Mr. Whitney says that tends to discourage Democrats from doing that sime thing is an injury and not a service to the cause of honest money. In 1892 the Sun thought the Force bill of such towering importance that it conducted its campaign on that sole issue, while now- it shines for McKinley, who voted .for the Force bill and would sign one if passed by Congress as the savior upon whese election the salvation of the country depends. . -; n 5 The Eastern bankers have, ac cording to a New York dispatch published yesterday, devised a plan to prevent gold exports, lhe sums recently deposited in the T reasury by the banks have 'run the reserve up from $89,000000 to $105,000,000, at which figure It.- can be easily kept if the banks decide to do so. Hav ing control of the bulk of the green backs outside of the Treasury they can easily do this,' and it is to their interest to do jt and prevent another issue of bonds, which the advocates of the .double standard would tarn to good use in the coating campaign. Banker J. Pierpont Morgan, who has been manipulating the bond sales since 1893, doubtless expressed the sentiments of his f fellow bankers .when he said that another bond is sue at this time worjld "not be ex pedient." It is noticeable that since the bankers have come to the rescue of the Treasury the withdrawals have been comparatively insignifi cant, which clearly shows that the bulk of the withdrawals had been by the banks, and that they .have simply been putting back! the gold they drew out. It is not the people who have been doing the reserve deplet ing, but the banks which have been speculating upon the gold in the Treasury and forcing the repeated issue ol' bonds. In their resolve to stop the drain and j sustain the re serve there is both business and pol itics. ' H : CURRENT COMMENT.

The doors were shut, and tho air Was heavy with the smell of ruout. tobacco snioko and human beings. The men, blue trousered, blue bloused, black capped, all had pipes or cigars in their mouths, and matches and cigars lay on a shelf in the corner beside a quaint out oanaiesticfc of twisted wrought iron.

SOME FAMOUS INSTANCES OF TYPO- .GRAPHICAL ERRORS. 1 Books and Newspapers Have Been Had to Saar All Sorts of Foolish and Even, Wicked Thftis Fanny Mistakes Whieb Neve Oonld Have Been Invented. : One can find mistakes in " all publics Mans,, books, magazines and newspaper. m- - Perhaps the most perlectoa : system 01 proofreading extant ia that employed by tho London Times. Once npon a time Lord Winchester wagered that be- would find no less than 80 misprints in six num bers 01 - xne iimoa. ; xufl wager was ior $500, with $50 additional for every blun- dor, more or less. Six numbers of The Times were .taken at random, and three misprints were discovered. -'.Lord Win chester lost nearly $2,000. Many years ago in France a book was published which the author bad given careful revision. Ho made his boasts that the-volume was free froai errors. When he critically examined the printed book, he discovered no less than 800 typograph ical errors. Becoming so enraged over his discovery, ho died in a fit of anger. Kinosley once said, after be baa Deen severely handled by tho printer, "I wonder that the Newgate calondar records no case of an author being hanged for killing bis printer." There are said to be but three books rree from : errors an American reprint of: Dante, a ' Loudon edition of Horace and the Oxford Bible. When their Bible was published, the professors of the University of Oxford offered a reward of a guinea for every error that might be found. The re ward was unclaimed until, some years after, a keen eyed oritio discovered an error which he pointed out and was given the reward. The mistake was corrected, and it is now said that the Oxford Bible is entirely freo from. typographical errors. During tho last oentury the professors of tho Edinburgh university attempted to publish a book which should be a perfect specimen of typographical accuracy. Ejv- erv precaution was taken, but experienccu proofreaders were employed. They devot ed many hours to tho reading of each page, which, when thought perfect, was placed npon the walls of the college and .kept there two or three weeks, with the notioe that $250 would be paid to any one who wonld find an error. None was found, and the professors congratulated them selves upon their success. The book was published, and upon examination the first thing they found was an error in the title page and another in the first opening chapter. TheMazarin Bible, published more than 400 roars ago, was full of errors. In an edition published 200 years later the word not' was omitted from the Beventn com mandment, from which orror tho book re oeived the name of the "Adulterous Bi,- blo." In the printed directions for con ducting Catholic services appeared the line, "Here the priest will take off his cu lotto. " Tho word calotte means an eccle siastical cap or mltcr. Culotte means in broad Saxon a man's nnderclothes. A blunder equally scandalous was - made in a review of a historical work as follows ''It was well understood what were the plans of tho opposition after the queen's chemise. ' For "cheniiso" road, "demise." The Bov. Dr. Todd was given some relics to present to a museum. In present ing them be alluded to "the lives of the saints." The remarks wheb published alludod to the "lies of the saints," which so enraged tho giver' that ho wrote to Dr. Todd and demanded their return. At a largo publio demonstration in Eng land a popular and prominent man arose to speak and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering and shouts. In speaking of H the newspaper said : ' Tho vast concourse rent tho air with their snouts." Some years ago the Philadelphia Post published this erratum: ''In our last issue a biography of Newton was said to contain this, 'Yes; the immoral Newton lived just liko other men.' It should have road 'the immortal Newton.' " A New York editor who wrote an obit uary on the death of n man of some celeb rity said, "He began life as a legal prao titioner, but was- diverted from it by a love of lotters." He did not seo the proof and was confronted the noxt morning by this, "Ho began lifo as a legal politician, but bo was diverted from it by a love of bitters," " A convivial host once offered a toast to a woman at a dinner party. He said, "Woman man without her would bo a savage. When the words appeared In print the next day, thoy read, "Woman without hor man would be a sausage." j In the beginning of the present oentury Dr. Kunze, a prominent Lutheran minis ter of Now York, wrote a communication on a vexed chronological question. He: spoke of tho Gregorian style and men tioned Pope Gregory. They printed it Tom Gregory. Tho learned doctor went; to the editor and requested an erratum to specify instead of Tom Gregory, Pope; Gregory. ' The correction was made to "Pope Tom Gregory." The doctor made: another attempt, with the result, "Tom: Gregory, the pope." Fearing to lobe all) his reputation on the subject, the doctor; submitted to the inevitable and asked for no farther correction. . A newspaper in 'Wisconsin made a ludi crous blundor through a mistake in punc tuation, as follows: "The procession at Judge Orton's funeral was very fine and; nearly two miles in leugth, as was the beautiful prayer of the Rev. Dr. Swing of; Chicago." , A few years ago the journalist who is widely known as "Gath" wrote a Fourth of July article. With a fervid eloquence: he told how the effete monarchies of the old world trembled in their boots when they read the immortal words penned by Thomas Jefferson. "Thrones reeled, wrote the impassioned Gath. The next- morning he saw in type, "Thomas reeled." The story is told that Ernest Renan once had occasion to telegraph across the British channel the subject of a proposed lecture of his in Westminster abbey.
