being able to MAKE noise enough TO
satisfy them with the usual instru-
ments of torture in vogue on such oc-
casions, the young men Of that sec

Questions OF the Day.

Why was It that General Malone,
who waited in the an;e-room while the
Republican National Committee Was
in session. got no word of good cheer
from the other side Of the door?
Why was it that the programme, IN
tended BY some members oil the COM
mit,ee to embrace a cordial endorse
uent of Mshoneism and all that the
name implies, was finally Abandoned?
Why did the great southern move
ment." OF which tie country has heard
80 much during the last three YEAR,,
get no recognition on that occasion?
Why is il that Malone, Cash, Chal-
uers, ard their associate leaders in the
antl.Bourbon crusa de, are cursing the
"bad faith" and "cowardly spirit" dis
played by the committee in declluing to
give them the warm right baud Of fell
lowship,
Why is it that tae Siraightouts are
iubilant while the Coalitlonists are
sulking in the doleful dumps OF dis
gruntlement?
Was the proposed endorsement not
attempted for the reason that it coulC
not be consumaled?
Did the fact that several Influential
mem bers Of tie committee were ready
aud determined TO stand by the Straight
ouls have anything to do with the re-
suit?
Was The expressed determination o.
sone Of tie most jealous committee
men 10 make vigorous attack On
Malone and the new anh-Bourtor
policy. 10 case the matter was brought
up in any way, the reason Why tie new
southern allies OF the Administrator
were ignored?- Wash. Post.

Education to state the reasons which
prompted them 10 change the books 10
