So the democratic national conven-
ton is to be held at Chicago on the sth
of July. The date is well enough, and
it might have been placed month later
with advantage. The republicans will
hold their convention at Chicago ON the
Sd of June, and for more than month
they will have no fight to make but
among themselves, and so it would
have been better for the democrats to
have waited until August, even, before
making a nomination. A short, active
canvass is better at all times. and espe-
cially with the democrats this year
would that have been preferable. They
have no large campaign fund to draw
from, like the republicans and it is
known that political campaigns are ex-
pensive.
st. Louis would have been selected as
the place had it not been known as the
hottest city in the country, and had Chi
cago not been known as a cool place.
That question alone appears to have in
fuenced the majority of the national
committee. There no is political signifl
canoe attached to the selection, and the
claims of no candidate can be said to
have been injured or advanced by the
selection of Chicago. True, had St.
Louis been selected the ''old ticket" of
Tilden and Hendricks would have been
talked of more generally, as they were
nominated at st. Louis in 1876 but it
is a question, even then, if that ticket
would have received any particular sup
port.
We are satisfied, and believe the Chi
cagO convention of July Sth next, will
act wisely and that the candidates nam
ed there as the democratic standard
bearers will be victorious in November.

Department is of special interest
as bearing on precautions against

Commissioner Loring Of tie Agri-

of investigating the spread of plu-

The Bureau will issue maps show

led by instructions which will not
only enable dealers to know what
cattle are dangerous to N ,rthern
stock and thus establish a quaran-

The Bureau will, probably in con-

establishment of a National cattle
trail, over which cattle from in
districts must reach market. The
