No oRgruDllcAN national convention since
the first has given the party 30 much intel
livent concern as the convention which is
to name the Republican standard bearers
iar 1854. Republicans and Republican
newspapers are displaying wholesome
Iud hopeful anxiety about the character Of
the convention, for the most part leaving
aspirants 10 tako their chances. The con.
trolling idea is that the convention shall
show the party at its best-not only free
from manipulation, but FREQ from all sus-
plcion Of manipulation. a
Having in mind this general object, two
thoughts are strongly presented ard as
strongly insisted on: u That the district
delegates shall be chosen at home, that is,
by the districts; and ,(9) that holders Of
place under the National Government
should not be delegates. The first proposi.
ton is put with tho force OF command, in
The reasonable belief that delegates 30
chosen will best represent the people and,
since they make up the large majority Of
delegates, will throw into the convention a
representative character and weight impos-
sbIe TO give 10 it in any other way. The
second proposition is recommendation to
the constituencies not to select national OIL.
eers, and to national officers not to ask TO
be selected, as delegates 10 the convention.
Republicans think it better thnt there shall
be no p'etext upon which to raise the cry
Of "otlice.ho'der's convention" G
It is true that the citizsn surrenders
none Of his political rights when he enters
tho public service. 1t is also true that the
active participation Of public servants in
conventions is not best for the party. AS.
snmlng that every man who holds q place

s'res first Of all the party;s success, 1t is q
reasonable expectation that there will be
no rush Of office holders for seats in the
convention. There is m abundance OF
good material to be found outside OF the
public offices, and no constituency will bc
much bothered to supply itself. West
virginia will send twelve delegates. It
Will not be hard to find in this State twelve
representative Republicans no one OF
whom holds 4 national office. -
There is a further view which is entitled
10 consideration. The man who holds
office is already houored by his party.

1t is eaid tho old fellow never growls or
sneers, audibly at least, while going through

st. Valentine and His Day.

We are bound to confess that when
the month of February arrives St. Val
entine becomes very important person
to our young folk. For month ormore
his round def fingers are busy upon the
offerings suitable to his day.
Who was St. Valentine, and what has
he 60 do with this strange custom?
1t is more easy to answer the first
question than the second All that is
known of the saint is soon told. The
origin of our present custom is not GER
tain. More than one explanation has
been given, and the following has much
in its favor. Isaac Disraeli has pointed
out that many of our chilcren's games,
the tumblers and street acrobats, the
carniyals and speaking pantomimes OF
Italy, were all once common in ancient
Rome. And so the custom connected
with st. Valentines name may also be
traced to rite that was practced in the
same city. In the month of February a
feast called Lupercalia was held in honor
of the rustic god Pan. Then took place
a ceremony no doubt much in favor with
the young people at Rome. The names
of young girls were placed with proper
solemnity in q box and shaken up. Tie
young men then drew these names, and
thus each obtained what we should call
valentine. But the leaders of the early
Christian Church, wishing to do away
with heather rites and superstitions,
made change in this. The young men,
instead of drawing the names of young
girls, drew those of early saints, and
each was supposed to initiate the exam
pie of the saint whose name he drew.
As the heather rite took place about the
14th of February, that day was fixed on
for the new ceremony. Then, that be-
ing st. Valentines day, his name has
come down to us linked with the Gus
tom. So we can fully acquit St. Nalen-
tine of having aught to do with our
present style of celebrating his day. He
was a Christian martyr who suffered
death at Rome under the Emperor
ClaudiuS.
The extraordinary number of letters
now posted on the 18th and 18th of Febru-
airy is scarcely credible; but without
the aid of figures we can obtain some
idea from the lateness of the postman's
call and the strange ngure which he
generally presents on those days. Poor
man, he has something for nearly every
house on that morning, and has TO make
his round hung about with bags and
bundles like beast of burden. And
yet he makes the best of it, and has a
kind word for the youngsters who hurry
to the door to meet him. -Harper's
