discrimination in state and national con-
ventions; and while this has been COM
planned of as an unequal system of re-
presentation, it is maintained, no doubt,
as political recompense for the local
odds against which the organization is
kept up in minority districts.
MINOR TOPICS.
HAY fever is here and with it the GUS
tomary boom in handkerchiefs.
DAWES, with the solemnity of Peck
sniff, gets up in the Springfield Repu5li-
can and says: II would look to the
statutes less and to the statute makers
moro - If that view had prevailed Dawes
would not be where he is.
DIR. NEWTON, the New Jersey state in
spector of milk, says that there are no
places In New Jersey where as much i'm
pure milk is sold as at Ocean Grove and
Asbury Park, places that are commonly
recommended for sick children. The doc
tor believes that many children have lost
their lives there simply on account of the
impurity of the milk sold and guaranteed
to bepure.
SOMEBODY has started report that each
one of tho presidents physicians will
charge him s100 per day, and that DR.. Ag.
new will charge q, 600 for each visit and
900 for each Of the two surgical opera
tions which he has performed, beside con
sulration fees, while DR.. Hamilton will
also charge 81, 900 for each visit and con-
sultation fees. The lightning calculators
have the bill up to $40, 600 already. They
forgot to add, however, that there is an
offset Of 500, 900 due from the doctors for
the advertising they receive.
A REMARK by q prominent New Hamp.
shire Democrat, that it was notorious
fact that one-third of the voters Of New
| Hampshire had become mercenary and
venal," excites little comment in that state,
because no well-informed person doubts
that it is true. The Nashua Gdzetta has
been doing little figuring, and allowing
that each vote purchased cost $40, finds
that s2S7. $40 was spent last November ir
bribery. This may bo an overestimate
but the fact remains that New Hampshire
is politically one of the most corrupt states
on the face of the earth.
A SPEECH made by female at TIN
Christian Temperance Union," in Pitts
burgb, on Sundad, illustrates how goot
cause may be prejudiced by the folly of
advocates. Said the person in question
"I hardly know what to call the mon VIII
sell liquor. cannot speak of them il
term harsh enough. They say there al
good men among them. don't believe it
Every one of them is a murderer. Co
hasten the day when each Sabbath vii
witness the funeral of one of them. On
of them was buried last Sunday, and on
to-day; hope there will be a funeral Q
one every day until they are swept fror
