Reflection is an angel that J oints
out the errors of the past, and gives us
courage to avoid them in the future.
In Gods matters there are not, as
in grammar, the positive and compare

lndivisible line that hath no latitude
Samuel Rutherford.
1t is very common to forgot the
beauty of holiness. The strength, n

are kept in mind, mainly. however, be-

which ought to be its chief charm is
lett u OF sight.-EDchAnge.
There is no life which in the mast
has testified to the power and beauty
OF the Gospel but what lives to-day and

The state inspector of finance in
his annual report makes some i'm
pOrtant recommendations. He thinks
that there should be a s'distinct code
for trust companies which shall clear
ly define their powers under their
charters - that the law should ''re-
strict loans to any one person to
some limited percentage of the cap
ital stock or deposits, and should
forbid any officer or trustee of trust
companies and savings banks from
borrowing the funds of the corpora
ton or becoming surety to it, that
savings banks and trust companies
should not be permitted to invest in
bank stock to an amount in excess of
one-fourth of their deposits; and
perhaps, most important of all, that
trust companies and savings banks
should be s'divorced from the nation
al banks in respect to the manage
ment by the same officers, and that
the law should be amended so that
no officer of trust company, savings
bank or savings1 institution shall at
the same time hold Office as presi-
dent, vice-president, cashier or treas
urer in bank of discount whether
state or national; or examinations
of savings banks OF trust companies,
which are located in the same build
ing with national banks, or differed
in whole or in part by the same per-
son or persons, should be examined
by the inspector of finance at the
same time the United States bank
examiner examines the national
bank"

THIRD DAY.

Thursday Chairman Henderson called the
convention to order, when prayer was offered
by Bishop Fallows, of the Reformed Episcopal
church.
The committee on credentials reported, and
the report was unanimously adopted.
The admission of the Malone delegation was
received with loud and prolonged applause.
BY a light vote, but a unanimous one, the
report of the committee on rules was adopted.
Immediately afterwards Parks of California,
chairman of the last named committee, sent up
the majority report on apportionment for rep
reservation, and after il was read Gen. r. r.
Bishop, of Massachusetts,, sent up the minori-
" report The minority report provides for
an additional delegate for each Republican con-
gresham, and one additional for each 10000
republican votes or major fraction thereof.
The majority report was adopted after a
spirited debate, without dissent, as the minori-
ty was vehemently opposed by all the delegates
from the South and many from the North
The Platform.
The committee on resolutions, through Mr..
Mckinley, chairman, made its report, which was
unanimously adopted, as follows:
The Republicans of the United States in ma
tional convention assembled, renew their allegi-
ance to the principles upon which they have tri-
umphed in six successive presidential elections,
and congratulate the American people on the at
tainment of so many results in legislation and adj
ministration by which the Republican party has,
after saving the Union, done so much to render
its institutions just, equal and beneficial; the
safeguard of liberty and the embodiment of the
best thought and highest purposes of our cit-
zens, the Republican party has gained its
strength by quick and faithful response to the
demands of the people for the freedom and the
equality OF all men for a united nation, assuring
the rights of all citizens for the elevation of
labor, for an honest currency, for purity in legis-
latiOn and for integrity and accountability in all
departments OF the government, and it accepts
anew the duty of leading in the work of progress

Chairman Henderson called the convention
and the vast audience to order at 1880 p. NJ.
After a little unimportant motions, the Pres
ident said: The secretary will now call the
roll of states, and when the name of a state

ty selected TO make the presentation will come

Irrigation is a matter of such conse-
ouence in California that a state con-
vention has Just been held to consider
the subject. Irrigation is only in its in
fancy in the state, and yet there are
from 300, 600 to 25O, 900 acres of IRRIGATED
lands in the San Joaquin Valley alone,
and there is no part of the state, except
the extreme northern counties, in which
irrigation is not q live question. Cali
fornic, says the San Francisco Alta, Is
more in need of the fertilizing agency of
artificial irrigation than most of the
countries in which the art has been
practiced smcet the beginning of histor-
ical times, but the matter of accomplish-
ing it is a difficult one, owing to con-
ficting interests.

only offences for which runaways are

Chicago repels the idea that it was
crowded during the convention. The
Herald says, three or four hotels where
the politicians make their headquarters
may have been intentionally full, be-
cause all the statesmen, wire-pullers
and spectators wanted to huddle to-
gether, but there was room enough IN
Chicago for a dozen national V
tions. That is about the size of it, but
the trouble is that on such occasions,
delegates and others are too proud te
admit that they stop anywhere but at
so-caIled FIRST class hotels which are
often first class in nothing but size and
charges.

The famous Brooklyn bridge is on
yea old. The records show that dur
ing the twelve months 6,O73, 100 foot
passengers, representing S60,S3l, pass
ed e it; 5S7 ,O24vehicles representing
$73, 37s; and 5.l51 900 persons in street
cars representing s257 SCI. The total
receipts amounted to 1891, 77O, not
eaough to pay one half the interest on its
cost. But this is a small matter where
much larger sums are worse than wasted,
forthe bridgeis enc ofthe wonders of the
world. and it is well worth travelling a
long distance to e it and ride or walk
over it. The Brooklyn Bridge and the
elevated railways are objects of wonder
and delight to travellers from all parts
of the world. There are many things
i. this world which donot pay expenses
in dollars, and yet, are the best paying
of all.

Missouri, which, was in the rear for
a long time, is now coming forward with
rapid strides. The late census showed
that her population had increased from
1921 600 in 1870 to 2,16S, 600 in 1880
an increase SAT, 900, or over 81 per cent.
in the decade, and the best authorities
agree that if the present rule of increase
is maintained, at the end of this decade
the state will probably show a popula-
ton of 2,7OO, 900. The increase of tax
able property has also been very great.

The famous DIR. Tanner, of semi-star-
walton, notoriety, says this is a world OF
gluttons and that "If people would eat
and drink less there would be no more
use for the doctors. They could all
shut up and go off on a prolonged pic
mic" In his own case, his long fast eff
fected q cure of heart disease which
physicians had pronounced incurable.
