The Democratic National Convention
has fewer members than that OF the Republi-
cans because the Democrats do not admit dele
gates from the Territories Colorado IL the only
Territory which will be represented at 81. Louis,
and tho reason for this distinction is that 1t may
be admitted as a State In time to vote at the
election. Thus the Democratic Convention will
consist OF 1913 members Its votes. however, are
cast by States, each State being entitled to the
same number OF votes as II has Representa-
and Senators In Congress. Thus, while there
are 1888 members, the total number OF votes that
may he cast in the Convention is only 389 This

The African Methodist Conference of
this State, now convened over in Brooklyn,
adopted the report which was presented to 1t
yesterday by Its Committee on Temperance.
This report urged tho colored Methodists to
practise abstemiousness In the use Of intoxicat-
ing liquors, and to devote special attention to
tho subject during the ensuing year. The adv vice
was excellent, and ought to be borne In mind by
those to whom 1t was addressed. So far as we
have noticed, the colored people hereabouts are
not given to drunkenness. They do not make
brutes Of themselves In that way. Rarely is any
one OF them seen Keeling about the streets |;
rarely Is any one Of them arrested for drum ken
reperousness. Yet some OF them are In the
habit OF requenting certain liquor shops, where
they drink too much, and the churches have oc-
casionaly to discipline member for devotion
to his cups. Such men should ponder over the
words the Conference, aud practise its ad vice

According to n statement made by Gov.
BRooDEs OF North Carolina IN his last annual
message, the total debt OF that State up to oct.
], 1874, t3s,92l, s4s06, OF which t.s35s3o re-
suits from the special tax bonds issued In 1898
by the nrst Republican Legislature, in which
the Hing thieves had everything their own way.
The debt imposed by this negro ana oarpet-beg
Legislature 10 one session was nearly twice as
much us the total debt which accrued In the
State from Its nrst organization to the outbreak
Of the rebellion. For this great burden up on
the State the people OF North Carolina are
partly Indebted to Ring Democrats, who aid ed
the HOLDEN crew in plundering, as Ring Repub-
lcans In this State aided TWEED and his Tam
many confederates In their thievish games.
Whether the honest people Of North Carolina,
In the approaching elections, will be able to
emancipate themselves from the control Of the
Rings which have fastened themselves upon
them, Is a question that is yet to be answered.

This is the Question.

What does the citizen who is scrupu-
lousy guarding his own expenditures and
lessening his luxuries, in these days OF
small profits aud diminished incomes,
think OF the course of the Senate in reso-
lutely standing IN the way of economy in
the expenditures of the Government
OF what avail are the fine promises of
the Cincinnati platform " the Republic
can President, Senate, and Rings have
banded together to defeat the economy
rendered possible by the reasonable re-
auctions in appropriations made by the

Here is an issue already presented for
the Presidential cam paign. 1t is economy

Another question in the law OF marriage
and divorce is propounded for answer First
we give the question:;

"Wil a woman who lives with man In this state as
his wife, having children by hun, ana being publicly
acknowe as his wlf be legally married to him II
before Twin with that woman ne WIS legally married
another country ana htd children by tnat former
marrage2 Aud whit would be the position and rights
Of the children VI tie woman LIVING with him IL this
country and legally married as you have sid2"
Our correspondent is sadly mistaken. We
never said that such d woman would be legally
married to man II he had previously had wife
IN another country. In that case she is only
his mistress. and his or her public acknowledge
ment that they are married is only a sham, a
false pretence, and OF no effect. Their children,
too, are illegltmate, and have no legal rights at
all as respects their fathers property.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON TERRITORY SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY

in tall stovepipe hat; behind this lead
or was a tall women with profusion Of
artificial flowers in her hat, and af-
ter her came others singly ard in pairs;
all holding aloft their lanterns and gaz-
ing at the door.
Suddenly, with a slam that nearly
tore it from its hinges, the door was
thrown wide open, and in it appeared
the irate, bristling and semi-breeched
McDugan.
Predition to yer sowlsr' criedr-he.
Ye want to be a surprised pa-arty, do
YEP" and with that he took the little
man in the stovepipe lick in the "lug''
that sent him to grass" and sent his
lantern rolling and jingling down the
hill.
Blinded With whisky, rage and the
light of the lantern, all were now ene-
mics who came in reach of McDugan's 8
fist. Elated with his success in the case
of the little man in the stovepipe, he ut
tered a wild hoop and went for the rest
of the line. The next was that all wo-
man with the" hat and feathers" crying,
Ye want surprise, ye black guardsl'
he snatched her lantern from her hand
and dealt her a blow over her head
which smashed it's glass and frame and
strewed feathers and flowers in all di-
rections.
"McDugan, ye devil! Is that yer
game ?" and laying hold on McDugan's 8
legs she brought his breeches down
about his feet and stretched him upon
the ground, when both rolled down the
hill and into pit that had once been q
cellar. A cry of Murtherw arising
from this pit, the broken procession
rolled and rushed to the rescue, rolling
and tumbling down the hill with q great
clatter of lanterns.
There was wild din and commotion
down in the pit for time, out of which
presently appeared Michigan, almost as
naked as the day he was born, and limp
ing made for the light in his door, NUT
tering, as he toiled up the steep: " So
this is one of their divil-invited surprise
pa-artys! Divil rowast me if don't think
I've cured that lot of such vanitiesr'
As the others collected the wreck of
lanterns and attire they were heard to
swear it would be long time before
they would have anything more to do
"wid that crazy, drunken ovid divil
of a, Michigan" .a
Another peep at the window showed
the bare-legged and bloody-nosed Nc
Dugan seated on his bedside with the
black bottle at his mouth. AS he re-
placed the bottle he took his candle
from the table, held it aloft and gaz-
ing toward the door said: $50, itseems
owldssMcDougan has had surprise pa
arty."

A WoRLD OF SUICIDES. Professor
Faraday has given il as his opinion that
all who die before they are hundred
years old may be Justly charged with
self murder; that Providence, having
originally intended man to live q CEN
tury, would allow him to do 80 If he
did not kill himself by eating unwhole-
some food, allowing himself to be an
noyed by trifes. giving license to pas
sion and exposing himself to accident.
The French savan, Flourin, advanced
the theory that the duration of life is
measured by the time of growth. When
the bones epiphysis are united, the body
grows no more, and it is at twenty years
that this union is effected in man. The
natural termination of life is five re-
moves from the several points. Man,
being twenty years in growing, lives, or
should, five times twenty years; the
camel is eight years in growing, and
lives five times eight years; the horse is
FIVE years in growing, and lives twenty
five years, and SO on with animals.

WASHINGTON NEws-How GATHERED.

The Washington Star serves up SINE
interesting information respecting the
difficulties attending the work of news
gathering by the army of correspond
ents in Washington. Every news-gath-
erer has channels of information which
belong to him pretty exclusively. BY
this is meant that one may enjoy facili-
ties, of q social nature, which may pour
the article into his lap. But the main
spring for all news is in the Executive
Departments. Tn the Treasury Depart
ment the fountain head is the Secretary.
To one who has never applied the news
paper pump to Bristow, or who puts it
in operation for the first time, the con-
clusion would be jumped at that he is
rather dry fountain. He treats all
who wait upon him cordially, but ask
him If he has any news and his answer
is a shake of the head. Carrying as he
does in his head all the grand batch of
whisky information, what fund he
has in store if one could only check it
out. Jewell wants " the boys" to have
everything that is worth having in his
Department, and the heads of Bureaux
and divisions, knowing this, give will
ingly to the press all matters of inter-
est. Secretary Chandler is also fav-
orite Cabinet officer with the journal
lists; he is willing that the press should
have every facility extended them in
their laborious hunt for news. No
newspaper man thinks OF going to
Robeson in person. He hates the guild,
and will pay no more attention to q
card sent in by one of them than would
an Egyptian potentate TO the salaam OF
his humblest subject. At the War De-
partment, Belknap is variable. Some
times he is talkative and obliging, and
then again he isn't. The jolliest aud
best liked man by the guild in the
Treasury Department is Treasurer New.
His heart is as big as his vaults. He is
q genuine, Western bomhommie which
makes visitor feel at home the minute
