of sequel of the famous Harpend-

He iutrustsd his personal property,

was to forward il to Kentucky. Baux
converted the same to his own use,

SHALL THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS BE
HELD IN WASHINGTON!

The meeting of citizens Of the District
al the Arlington hotel last night was not SO
well attended as it should have been; bat
the preliminary steps taken to induce the
Democratic and Republican National Com
mites 10 hold their respective conventions
in Washington this year were well advised.
The argument was advanced convincinely
that the people Of the country generally
would gladly embrace these opportunities
to visit the Capital during the Centennial
year. Our hotel accommodations are
ample, and in few months will be more
extended, while the proverbial hospitality
Of our citizens will serve to furnish accom-
mOdatiODs in private quarters for large
numbers Of visitors. As regards proper
building in which the conventions may
assemble, the suggestion has been made
that the hall of the House of Represent8.
tiYes might be used; but there is a better
place than that, and one the use of which
would not interfere with the progress Of
strictly public or legislative business. IL
is the Northern Market building With
the comparatively trifing expense ola few
thousand dollars the interior of this magni
ficent structure might be made comfortable
and convenient for the purpose indicated.
1t could with slight alterations be made %
excel any contention hall ever erected
especially for such use in the country, as it
is larger than the Chicago Wigwam was,
and is acoustic properties are entirely sat
isfactory. The fact that Congress will un-
doubtedly be in session when the conven-
tions will be held will naturally attract at.
tention to Washington as the focal political
point Of the period. and the convenience
to Congressmen and other political leaders
of holding them at this point at such time
will at once be admitted. By all means let
the people of the District show their pub
lie spirit and give the needed encourage
ment TO those who have "put the ball in
motion" There is not prominent city in
the Union that is not working to secure the
honor and privilege in question. Wash
ington may be considered debatable or
neutral ground, and in that respect has an
immense advantage, besides those we have
enumerated, over her competitors. Let
the adjourned meeting on Friday night be
well and largely attended by the solid and
public spirited men of the community.
There is no partisan interest however in-
directly, involved in this movement 1t

criticism, the language appears to US imuor-
tai, end worthy Of the high place which Is
even nov being prepared for It. Some may
marvel, and may wonder how the President
came 70 b nllsd with so high q degree OF the
prophetic spirit. Like Bslaam, the son Of Beor,
Ne was expected to curse rs; unlike Balaam, he
was not stayed, but rather urged on by the faith
full tsrvsnt with whom he previously conversed.
Bat there is no mystery about 1t. He has grown
up with the instincts OF q true American, and he
has spoken accordingly. Not only are the words
on which We have commented true, but they are
In accordance with sound Catholic principles. We
are ready to take him at his word, and his words
In their true meaning. To those who viii Join rs
We say, without disguise or reserve: "Gentlemen,
you will never regret having trusted u.s. and dealt
fairly with Us, according to the laws and Consti-
tuition Of this country" We believe with the
President that, If the only honest meaning Of his
language be as honestly carried out, "the battles
which created the Army Of the Tennessee" (which,
by the way, Catholic general once commanded
and 10 whose ranks hundreds of Catholic hearts
bled)-we believe we say. that these battles will
not Rave been fought in vain." The children Of
the soldiers Of the Union will at least be the peers
OF those whom their fathers overcame. Ths ns-
tions' heroes will not look down to their heirs
defrauded Of equal rights in "the Union and the
free institutions for which they died" The Pres-
dent will yield to his comrades in arms at
much as he Is SO ready to accord to his late oppo
nents. And as for our countrymen throughout
the Union, we are prepared to walt, trusting that
when fully enlightened they will agree to our
obtaining Independently Of all political agitatons
or party organizations, our just and equal rights

THE New York ISuH, always an anti
Spanish paper, when it treats of the Cuban
question, has now resolved that President
Grant has assumed an attitude which threat
ems war with Spain. 1t presumes that he
has made a peremptory demand that the
troubles in Cuba shall be instantly stopped,
and argues from this that the United States
is pledged either to put an end to the fight
ling by helping Spain or helping the in
"surgents, one or the other AS the
President cannot help Spain, because he
would not be sustained by the people of
this country in so doing, it reaches the con-
clusion that he will help the insurgents.
That means war with Spain, says the
SuH, and adds 1--WE think this is what he
"does mean ; for he has never shown HIM
"self inclined to make unmeaning threats -
Unfortunately for the Sun s deductions the
writer Of the article from which VIC have
quoted seems to be ignorant Of the fact that
the present relations between Spain and
the njted States are entirely friendly.

IL OUR news columns this morning will
be found a report of the proceedings of q
meeting held by the citizens Of Charleston,
S. c.. on the 1st instant. The resolutions
adopted show very plainly the jesuitical
Vaccinations of the South Carolina Democ-
racy in their efforts to destroy the Republi-
can party through the agency of Governor
Chamberlain. They also show the occa-
sion of the anxiety Of at least one Demo-
cratic editor to prevent the installation Of
General Whipper. the newly-elected col
ored judge of the Charleston circuit. Fur
ther, they show that a feeling has been
engendered by the determination OF the
socalled Conservatives and Governor
Chamberlain not to allow the judges in
question to take their seats, which threat
ems to result in bloodShed

but if he does, some one with even an ordl-

Price Of Food in Old Times.

Amid the never-endipg comments
on the high price of provisions, it is
difficult for US to realize the fact that a
time existed in Brtain's history when
wheat, as food for 100 for whole day,
was worth only a shilling, and the av-
erase price Tor sheep was four pence.
In the reign of Henry I. the average
price OF wine was raised to six pence
quart tor red and eight pence quart
fot whlte, IN order that the sellers
might be enabled to live by it. When
wheat was at six shiIlings a quarter
(elght bushels) the farthlng was to be
equal In weight to twenty four ounces
II made of the whole grain, and to six
teen ounces if consisting solely of
white. And when wheat was only
one shilling and six pence per quarter,
as 1t sometimes was, the farthing white
loaf was to contain sixty four ounces,
and the whole grain ninety-six. Think
OF purchasing six-pound loaf Of good
wheaton bread for farthing. La the
nineteenth year Of the reign Of Ed
ward |, the price of provisions of the
city of the city of London was xod
by the Common Council at a tariff by
which two pullets were sold at three
half-pence, a partridge or two wood
cocks for the same, while a fat lamb
was to be six pence from Christmas to
Shovetide, and the rest of the year
four pence. In the fourteenth century
Parliament fixed the price of fat OK
at forty-eight shillirgs. a sboru sheep
at five shil|ipgs. two dozen eggs at
three pence, and the best wine at TWEEN
ty shilllngs per tun. An act of Par
lament, passed in 1888, settled the
value of beef and pork at half.penny
per pound, and veal at three farthings.
