The Democratic National COnyen-
ton.

The democrats Of Chicago have publicly al
mitted that they are too poor to provide accom-
modations for the national democratic conVen-
ton, and it is not likely that the committee Will
seriously consider that city as among the list Of
applicants. Indianapolis Is pretty effectually
barred because 1t has no suitable place for hold
ing the convention. The only hall large enough
and the one that has been suggested-is In the
exposition building, which is located in the
suburbs, too far from the hotels and business
centerS for delegates and others attendant upon
the convention to walk. st. Louis has an excel
lent hall, but is deficient in hotel accommoda-
lions. This deficiency was seriously felt in
1876, and since then the Southern, the largest
hotel In she city, was destroyed by fire.
and is only, now, partially rebuilt. Besides
never, In the history of this country, have two
successive conventions of party been held in
the same city. Saratoga has hotel accommoda-
lions, but no hall Of sufficient size. 1t is said
now, too, that the people of that city do not
want the convention, as it may be held at q time
OF the year when the fashionable watering place
visitors will monopolize the accommodations of
the city. Cincinnati has a fine hall and fair
hotel accommodations, but candidates for the
presidency not favored in that city are so badly
treated that there is little disposition to go
there. Several other cities besides Washington
have been mentioned, but only In the character
of what might be termed in convention usage,
dark horses. Therefore it appears that Cincin-
natl is the only competitor that Washington has
really to meet. All that can be said In favor of
Cincinnati can be urged in favor of Washington,
and much more can be added. Very few men,
bers Of the National committee have arrived
yet, but from general survey OF the field and
an impartial consideration Of the claims of the
different cities, it is plain that Washingtons
chances for securing the convention are first
rate.

and it will sell all the way from S65 TO 800.
You can not find anything that will turn
money faster Mt such profit here, where We
bave plenty of land that is only good for
pasturing. The cost of keeping such stock
is very small. You have not the same risk
OF loss that you have on a great deal of
stock. Even il you happen 10 pay price
that may seem little high at the time,
such stock will soon grow out of il, and in
the end leave you good margin to pay you
for your time and trouble. With older
stock that is simply bought to fatten, you
can only save yourself by adding flesh,
which is sometimes rather hard way of
making up a loss. You have no more risk
to run of disease or accidents than from
older stock, while it takes less capital to buy
them and less feed to keep them.
For such investments as this the country
In this portion of the State is especially
adapted; with plenty of springs and running
streams to furnish stock water in sufficient
quantity; with land cheap and taxes light,
the ridges make good pasture land, while the
bottoms will raise the best of crops. You can
pasture your poor land and cultivate your
good land, raising feed for your stock during
the winter. You can usually buy young
pigs, Just weaned in the spring, at from fifty
cents to 81. Let them run all summer, and
i'm the fall men who want to feed hogs to
fatten for the market will readily giee 81 or
So apiece for them; or, If you raise corn
enough to fatten them yourself. the profit is
still more increased as by that means you
will get a good price for your corn. All a
man needs is a small capital to begin with
and patience to wait. There are plenty OF
opportunities open to men who are anxious
to find a pleasant, easy, profitable way OF
investing their capital SO rs TO be sure OF
making them a living.

LET Politics Alone"
Detroit Free Press.

A real clean, nice-lookiRg old couple were
at the Union Depot yesterday to take train
going South. The husband was nearly
seventy years old, and pretty lively, and the
wife was only year or two behind him,
with a voice that meant business eveay
considerable political talk around the
depot, and the old man at once became in
terested.

as he spit on his hands. "Pveseen the time
it took four Constables TO bold me-"
Peter, what are you doing here?' asked
the old lady as she suddenly appeared.

"All kinds"

set up the drinks, didn't they?'
"Oh, yes"
"Great shakesi But wish I'd been over
here. Take it along about forty years ago,
and after had three drinks down it took
the whole Wing party to hold me- Ny great
hold was in cleaning out the voting place
and walking off with the ballot-box.n
Peter, want youl" called the wife.
"Yes, Nancy. Well, which side
Peter was choked of right here Nancy
got hold of his collar and lifted his heels off
the floor, whirled him around, and headed
him for the waiting-room with the remark
After you have lived with me another

Peter don't mean Paul. The idea of your
standing out here talking politics when
we've got to look around for piece of bed

our buds, Pikel"
When they came out to take the train the
old man had his eye ont, and seeing the
man who had answered his questions he
asked:
who did you say was 'Iected?'
He was yet on the last word when the
wife brought her bandbox down on top OF
his head with the exclamation:
"Shet upl'
with sorrowful, injured air, but she
punched him in the back with the box and
he humbly entered the car. and was driven
into the seat on the side next to the dark
wall.

then, I'll tell you the truth. Tve no money,
nothing to do, don't want to work, expect to
have close rub this winter, and will be
much obliged for the loan of ten cents"

not disappointed, II you had lent me a
dime it would have gone for whisky and
been wasted; if you had believedme Ishould
have lied to you. Seems as If you might
recommend me to some one in the block on
