(Extract Irom the speech of Bourke Cockran-, de livered in New York August 18th.) TRYIHG TO DISCREDIT BIS- ' MABCX. The advocates of free silver in this country have made such good use of Priace Bismarck's letter to Governor Culberson, of Texas, in ' which be expressed the opinion that if this country decided to enter upon the pclioy of free coinage of silver alone he bad no doubt it would exer cise a salutary influence upon Eu i ropean nations in leading to the adoption of bimetallism. . He did not express any opinion as to whether this country could maintain bimetallism alone, and be did not offer any advice as to what this country should do, but expressed the opinion that on account of its, geo graphical position and for other reasons it was in a better po sition to undertake it than any other country, singly, is. - : The significance of this letter was that it came from one of the: fore most men of Europe,'- the man who siands higher in Germany than any other man in that Empire, and the man1 who bad as much to do with the establish meat of the gold standard in Germany as any other man in it. . He was influenced, as he admits In h is letter to ; Gov." Culbertson, by financiers in whom be trusted, and being governed more by their views . than his own, favored, the monetary policy that they urged. V But' he has lived long enough to see his country pay the penalty of that blunder, and he would now like to see bimetal . lism generally restored. - Recognizing the eminent position that Bismarck occupies in the esti mation of his countrymen on both sides ' of - the Atlantic, and the weight that is given to his utter ances, they are working; desperately to break the force of this letter. As soon as it was made public the New York World at once telegraphed to the Texas capital for a translation of the original,- and fonnd a slight difference in the phraseology of the letter as it was given to the public by the first translator and the World" t translator. The difference consisted simply in "the translation of one phrase which did not materially af fect the substance or meaning of the letter, and a difference that might easily have been made by any two translators. " Substantially the ver sions by Governor Culberson's trans lator and the World 'fare the same. Bat the gold men are making much ado over what they are representing as an interpolation amounting sub stantially to a forgery, bat they are still bound to admit that the letter favors" bimetallism, and then they take a tack to break Its force by representing that Bismarck was ac tuated by selfisheness in encourag ing this Country to undertake bimet allism, although he made no sugges tion that could be construed as bor dering upon advice, any further than to say that if the people of this coun try found it compatible with peir in terests to enter upon the free; coinage of silver he thought it might have a tendency to draw other nations in the same direction, y C - - j Prof. Andrew D. White,' of Cornell (N.Y.) University, has taken it upon himself to discredit Bismarck by ex posing the "selfish motive" be had in writing that letter, although we fail tb see why. Prof. White should char acterize a part of it as a H orged inter eolation' ("based upon the World's translation) while he was arguing to show that selfishness inspired the writing of the answer; to Gov. Culber son's inquiry. The "Selfishness" con sists in this, that Bismarck is an in tensely patriotic German and anx ious to promote Germany's interest at the expense of any and every other nation. In other words his "selfishness" is of a national and not individual character. When Ger manyha'd completed the demoneti zation of silver, which began in 1871 and was completed about 1881, she found herself, after she had gotten away with all she could, with about one hundred million dollars of silver coin (If .he; Prof. White, "remembers correctly," but he isn't sure he does,) on hand that she couldn't get rid of without a great, sacrifice, and hence cute old Bismarck is encouraging this country to adopt free coinage that his country may get rid of her unsalable and useless coin, dump it on us and make $50,000,000 or more by the operation. ; " This is very thin for a man occu pying a position in one of our re spectable universities, who is a teacher of young men and assumes the role of a public instructor, a man who undertakes to tell' Gov. Culberson and Mr. Bryan some things which they do not know, and in doing so belittles their intelli gence and misrepresents Bismarck's language (quoting from the New York World, as a recognized Demo cratic - journal, which it is not), whether he does Bismarck's motives or nn It rini'xnwtn taMftf -ctrrTed to this eminent Professor that while he was trying to discredit Bis marck he was making a strong pre sentation, for free " silver when he contended that Germany could make $50,000,000 by sending her $100,000,000 of stored up coin to this country, by the simple operation of which this pile of coin now worth only $50,000,000, (its bullion value at " present " prices), would become worth $100,000,000, or as much as it was worth before it was demone tized. Prof. White is evidently not a believer in the 50-cent dollar, al though he thinks it is a horrid thing for Mr. Bryan to insist that we should have more of these 100-cent silver dollars. If Germany could convert her 50 cent silver dollars into 100-cent silver dollars, couldn't other nations do the same, and then wouldn't we have 100 cent silver dollar all 'round, and wouldn't silver go up the world over just as the ad vocates of free coinage contend it would, and as Prof. White practically admits it would in his zeal to dis credit Bismarck? That's the way it looks to us. OUR CANDIDATE. To-night the people of this city will have the opportunity of hearing the v Democratic candidate for Governor- of North - Carolina discuss the issues in which they are interested. As a campaigner be has won an enviable reputation for power and brilliancy as a speaker, but this is not what commends him nor gives him the hold he has npon the people. He pleads not for himseU bnt for North Carolina" and for the people, of whom he is one and with whom every pulsation of his heart beats in unison. The writer of thii has known Cy rus B. Watson over a quarter of a century, known him as a young man starting ont in life with - nothing : to bank oa Wt ' tireless in'dastry, lofty purpose, nnpurchasable in tegrity and ; devotion to "duty that never " hesitated where daty called, that never deserted a cause or proved faithless to a trust reposed in him. Where he is known no man stands higher in all he essentials - of true manhood, as a man and a citizen. 'As a patriot he gave proof of that when a boy he shouldered .his mosket and perilled bis life for the cause be believed in; as a leader in the cause of die people since early manhood he has been a brave battler for the Democracy, which he has served with a filial and loyal devo tion, rand when the day of conflict came was never found a snlker In the camp, but always In the front bear ing Its banner aloft As axepresen tative of the people in their legisla tive halls he was always found with them and for them. This, in brief, is Cyrus B. Watson, and this is why he is our standard-bearer to-day. htjos hxiitios. ' The Treasury gold reserve stood Monday at $125,100,896. The re serve has been kept up by the action of the bankers who have deposited gold in the Treasury, to prevent the necessity of another bond issue be fore the election. The most of this gold does not belong to the United States, but to the bankers ; who have temporarily given the United States the use of it, with the full know ledge that they can draw it out when they choose. The small daily with drawals shd w - that there is an un derstanding among the gold mani pulators su that one will not draw out what another puts in. It is claim ed that we have $600,000,000 ot gold in this country, and yet we find that to keep ; up the : reserve it was necessary j to import i gold f rom Europe which importations con tinued until the rae of exchange be come so high that they were sus pended. The understanding among the gold manipulators is that they will take care of the reserve until the election! because they don't want any bond-issuing until after the bat tle of the ballots is fought and then this gold that went in temporarily will come out and the Treasury will be left to hustle along for itself. If Bryan be elected they wilt lose little time In draining the reserve, for they know, full well that the draining process will cease as soon as be takes the oath of office; if McKinley be elected the bond-issuing will go on as usual, and they will continue to add to the burden of debt On the people of this country. - Wm. J. Bryan's tour through Ten nessee was simply a repetition of the cordial and. enthusiastic welcomes that have been the order of the day in other States which he has visited tremendous 'outpourings of the people, many of whom travelled many miles by cail, or on horseback or on foot, to hear and welcome this great tribune of the people. Never has that State witnessed such gather ings of the people, of all conditions of life, to see or bear a man what ever The reputation may have been that went before him, and it will in our opinion be a long time before it again witnesses such mighty gather ings. In point and pith his speeches delivered there rank with the best he has made in his wonderful campaign, and the effect they had on hearers is shown by the responsive applause with which the salient points were received. The man who would doubt. where lennessee stands at tvaese outpourings of the- peep"Te"must be either very blind or exceedingly dull of perception. V: BOOK NOTICES.

An Afeatneted Clerk Who Got IntoTrov- M With m Inaoiaitft Quest. An aibsentmlnded clerk and an in quisitive guest managed to get tangled up in an argument at the Waldorf that almost led to wows, uotn were perceci ly innocent in the matter, bat enoogh ill feeling was engenaerea to jusoiy an International dispute. The Waldorf has on the first floor a reception room and parlor. Thte is utilized for all kinds of entertamments. uno day an an saie is held there, the next a display of fancy work, perhaps a musicals the next, and so- on. One afternoon a musical pro gramme was given in this, reception room and that was what caused all the trouble. The door leading to the room, which ia usually open to all, was watched by an attendant who demand ed cards. This aroused the curkxuljr of the inquisitive gnest He walked around the corridor eying the room from every possible point of vantage, . and then walked np to the desk and said to the clerk, who was writing in a huge ledger: "What's going on in there?" The clerk jabbed bis pen in the ink-' stand and replied tersely, "I guess it's bird recital. ". . . - - ' Then he continued his writing with' never a quiver of ' an eyelash.v The in quisitive guest contracted his eyebrows ; then he looked for a lurking gleam of amusement in the clerk's eye, but found none. Then he turned and wandered into the cafe to think over the problem. After due deliberation he came to the conclusion that it was not all straight, and he came-back. He expected to see the clerk give some sign of amusement when he approached the desk, but in stead the man behind the onyx was im mersed more deeply than ever in the big book. - The guest repeated his ques tion, saying: 'What did you say was going on in that room?" The clerk never raised bis eyebrows, but muttered something about "four and seven make eleven and" radding hurriedly: "I don't know, but I think it's a piano talk." The mystery was deepening; the in quisitive man saw no way out of the diffi culty except to go and see for himself. He could detect nothing m the clerk s manner that warranted him in believ ing that he was being made the butt of a joke, but he was confident that it was not all straight So he walked up and purchased a ticket and went inside. In a few moments he came out, and he had a look of set determination upon his face. He walked up to the desk and in a rough voice he demanded: "What did you say was going on in that room?" . V - The clerk was startled at the gruff tone and looked up from his book. He saw that the man was angry clear through, and he wondered at his per sistency in asking about the entertain ment. He said quietly: "I said I was not sure, but I thought it was a piano recitaL" "No, you didn't" thundered the in quisitive man. "What did I say?" asked the clerk meekly. "You said first it was a bird re cital, " said the man. "And then you said it was a piano talk, and now you say it's a piano recitaL I am not in the harJft of being guyed, and you knew what it was all the time, for you told nie straight enough when you knew I had found out I paid $2 just to find out what was going on in that hole, so I could catch you straight You are al together too recent for this place. I don't" The guest might have gone on talking' indefinitely had not the clerk apologized in a most penitent manner. He said contritely: "Well, you see it is this way. We have bird talks, piano recitals, musicales, picture exhibitions and I don't know how many other kinds of affairs in there. I was busy with the books and I got tangled up. I did not mean to mis lead you." The guest was mollified, but he is not sure yet that he was not being "jollied,'.' to use his own expres sion. New York Tribune. The Biographer, The biographer is bound to supply all the facts that effectually distinguish one' man's characteristics and exploits from those of bis neighbor, and while the normal : development of devotional sentiment or domestic virtue is in this connection immaterial any . departure from the normal development demands examination. Deviations from religious orthodoxy present no special difficulties, but much discretion in dealing with a life's moral disfigurement ia enjoined on the national biographer. The small ness of the scale on which he works re quires him to preserve a very just pro portion between the various parts of his memoir, and he must give no more space to man's lapses from virtue than their effect on his achievement justifies. Breaches of conventional morality con sequently often sink into insignificance in national biography and merit no notice at all " But whenever the lapses from publio or private duty are notori ous or chronio the biographer's duty is plain. He has frankly to describe them. - The marital adventures of 'Byron, Nelson or Parnell, Coleridge's indul gence in opium, Person's indulgence in drink, the crimes that have occasional ly blackened the exploits of great ex plorers, are not only legitimate they are essential topics in national biog raphy. For the biographer to suppress them is to fall in a primary obligation.. He must of course so handle such mat ters as to give as little pain as possible to friends or relatives who may be in jured by the recitaL The evidence must be conclusive, and should be briefly summed up with all the sobriety of a judge. -Cornhill Magazine.
