to Ireland, but they forgot that Alfred
Griffin was there, and the three planks
proposed to meet the Prohibition aues-
ton were in some way lost. They forgot
the temperance plank, and so adopted
one yesterday before they adjourned, a
resolution which, after its reading by the
speaker was vigorously hissed.
The speaker said we ought to accent
the resolution for just what it is WORTH
nothing. The usual committees were
then appointed and recess taken.

TIE California delegation will have a
pretty hard task before it when it comes
to explain why it voted for the pro-Chi-
nese. anti-Labor Harrison. This will
bear rather hard on Mr.. Michael H. De
Young, of the Chronicle, who is on record
as condemning Harrison's record in both
particulars. Our townsman, Henry
Gage, is the only man of the lot who has
nothing to explain away, as he voted for

WHILE we shall have many fanciful
explanations of Blaine's unwilliness to
be the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent-and taken collectively they do not
amount to bawbee-we may be assured

THERE is at last a sense of relief in the
popular mind. The long agony as to the
Republican candidates is over, and the

them in the balance and to find out

Last night witnessed the debut OF
another new star among the Pyke Opera
Company, Miss Hattie Moore, appearing
as "Bettina" in Audran's pretty operetta,

thoroughly satisfy all present. Miss Moore
in addition to her great vivacity, sings
well. Messrs. Rochester and Clark
work we'll together and keep the audi

by their witticisms, and Mr.. Valerga has
many opportunities to display his we'll

well and effectively rendered as was

appropriate. There will be no chan ge Of

if it could be surpassed in
any city on the continent. In front of
the house had been erected during the
day six stands, upon which had been
mounted electric lights of great power
and brilliancy, turning the darkness Of
night into the glare of noon, surpass-
ing that Of the sun. The ada
cent houses were all beautifully decorated
and the lawns lighted by Chinese lam
terrs OF all colors and Shapes. In the
streets and filing the spacious grounds
surrounding the residence were packed

VISIT OF VETERANS.

Several delegations from outlying coun-
ties were among those who called, and
among those whose visit most deeply al
fected the General were about fifty OF the
survivors OF his old regiment, the Sew
enteenth Indiana, accompanied by some
OF the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth
Illinois, which formed part of his
brigade. They were introduced by Major
Grubbs and in response General Harrison
said: Comrades, called as have been
by the National Convention Of one of the
great political parties of this coun-
try, to be it's candidate for President, it
will probably be my fortune before
the election to receive many delegations
representing various interests and classes

Petticoat Government.

Nearly month has elapsed since
the voters of Oskaloosa, Kansas,
thought it a good joke to elect
set Of city officers composed entire
ly Of women. They have SO far
refused to appoint women in the
police and fire departments, and
until they do SO they cannot fairly
claim it to have been a thorough
test, The cause is very much as
the Washington Post puts il:
Inasmuch as the government of
city or town like that of State
or nation, rests on brute force, the
city mothers of Oskaloosa should
have no men employed in the po-
lice, and all of her subordinates
should be women. Unless women
can arrest drunken and brutal
men; unless they can suppress
riots, make raids on gambling es.
Establishments, and bawdy houses,
and preserve the good order of q
city By force they are not qualified
for governing, and therefore, ought
not to ask for the ballot. These
are plain, homely truths, but they
lie at the base of the question of
granting suffrage to women. If the
two sexes are to partners in gov
erning, let them be equal partners.
Men are glad to show special fav-
ors to women in all the relations of
social life, but when the petticoat
goes into politics it must not look
for better treatment than is accord
ed pantloons. The smallest town
cannot be ruled without the con-
slant presence and occasional ap.
plication of brute force. Are the
women who demand the ballot
ready TO discharge MI obligations
that the demand implies!

SSIPPL. FRIDAY, MAY 4. 1888.
TO-DAY.

If we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for us down thu road,
If our lips could taste the worm wood,
If our backs could feel tue load,
Would we waste to-day in wishing
For time that ne'er can be
Would we wait in such impatience
For our ships to como from sea 7
If we knew the baby fingers
Pressed against the window pane
Would be cold and still tomorrow,
Never trouble us again,
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch tho frown upon ourbrowf
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do now.
All! those little ice-celd fingers.
How they point our memories back
To the hasty words aud actions
Strown along our backward track
How these little hands remind us,
AS in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns, but roses
For our reaplnS by ana Dy.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the vIolets
Never seem one half so fair
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air.
Hope from which the seal of silence
None but God can roll away
Never blossomed in such beauty
AS adorns the month to-day;
And sweet words that freight our snlo-
ries
With their beautiful perfume;
Come Ger us in softer accents
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbcams
Lying all around our path,
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and cbaff-
Lot us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day,
With the patient hand removing,
All the briars from our way.

Experiments in ImpIanting Teeth.
New York Herald.

new 1Ofk hcfaIus
DIR. Younger, Of San Francisco,
has demonstrated that it is practi-
cable to replace lost teeth, even af-
ter the socket has been filled up
with bony substance. He simply
drills into the jaws, gouges out a
new socket, and then, taking for
eign tooth that has long been ex-
tracted, cleans it thoroughly, soaks
it in bi-cholride of mercury and in
serts it in the socket thus artificial
ly formed. DIR. w. NJ. Gray, the
microscopist OF the United States
generals office, has exam
ined a tooth which had been i'm
planted by DIR, Younger's method
aud then extracted. DIR. Gray's
examination shows
beyond question that the tooth so
is actually revived, that
is established between
the socket and the implanted tooth
and that the socket takes an active
part in anchoring the tooth.

A MYSTERIOUS SUMMONS.
A Murder and its Results.


Ii. Drummond Wolff, in Mrrray's Maga
zine.
The following story was told me
by lady. She was the wife of a
rich squire i'll the east of England,
after whose death she. married a
well-knOwn Italian. She was a
woman of remarkable ability and
of great information, though some
what eccentric. She had heard the
story, with dates and names of
persons. These she had forgotten,
and had never been able to supply
| them.
She declared, however, that she
was positively assured that all the
details had been verified by the
French public authorities where
the events related had occurred.
and that the records still existed
somewhere, if Tie place could only
be. found.
During the first French RevOlu-
ton, two Frenchmen of high birth,
Count A. and Viscount B., were
dispatched by the Royalist party
on a mission to England.
During their journey on horse
back 10 northern port of France,
where a vessel awaited them, they
were on one.occasIon benighted in
the middle of a wide heath. Rid
ing slowly forward, they perceived
a light IRON what turned out to be
large and solitary chateau. AT
Ter some knocking, steps were
heard slowly coming in the yard
within, and at last the door was
cautiously unlocked, a porter or
caretaker peered through the mar
row opening and asked The reason
of the knocking.
1--WE have lost our way and are
tired and hungry. We require shell
ter and food for ourselves and our
horses"
"Impossible !" was the churlish
reply, and the door was about to |
be closed, when one of the travel
ers intercepted it with his foot,
and, producing a pistol, said
I'VE are quite ready to pay for
our lodging and supper, but we
cannot go further tonight"
The caretaker peered tor a mo-
ment though rehecting, and at last
he said:
81 will give you shelter for the
night, and food for yourselves and |
your beasts, on one condition, viz
That you give me your word of
honor as gentlemen, which l am
sure you are, that nothing will in
duce you to leave the room | give
you, and tomorrow at daybreak |
you go on your journey without
asking any questions"
The promise given, the door was
opened and the horses taken to
the stables, which we're within the
court. The porter then led the two
travellers up a splendid staircase
and through a long corridor hung
with tapestry, at length turning
into a large, empty room furnished
as a drawing room, and evidently
belonging TO the dwelling Of a
noble.
Near the door was a large fire.

Candles we're lighted, and the
travellers saw two large and luxu-
rious beds, with rich hangings, one
nearer 10 the entrance than the
other. A table was placed near

WHAT AMERICA CosT.-Edward
Everett Hale has resurrected for us
a capital bit of history InVhe King
of England's account book, in
which he puts down what he paid
Jack Cabot for finding America.
1t reads after this manner:
To the damsel that danceth E12
To the man that found a new island. 10
To Jake Haute, for tennis play...... 9
To woman with a red nose. g shillings
That was the first cost 10 England
for North America-less than was
paid for the girl that danced for
The King. But England paid a
good deal heavier somewhat later
doing her own dancing this time.
1t was on the credit of f10 paid the
old sailor that the King assumed
the right TO give away America,
and fought Spain and France TO
secure her rights TO the whole
island"

LosDos. May 1.-The Daily Telegraph.
In q columa article headed England in
Danger" asserts oa the highest military
authority" that the strength of the army is
entirely insufficient. i. says: "If extra
men were enlisted tomorrow there would
be no bArrack accommodations for them.
Many of the artillery batteries are provided
with the worst guns served TO any existing
army. Though We possess an unsurpassed
gun we have no means for manufacturing
guns except after much delay. We also
have the best magazine rifle vet invented,
but not u single regiment is provided with
such rifles. The army stores are lament
ably insufficient. The naval situation is al
most as bad. There is not single breecn-
loader in any land fortress from Portland
TO the Tweed, the latest type actually in use
being the seyen-inch Armstrong gun. The
srmamenis Of the forts. the guns served TO
the volunteers, and the shot and shell ct
Woolwich are mostly of obsolete pattern.
Four OF our finest srmor-clad vessels are
without guns and two of them will havs
none until March. 1889. The nation ought
to demand that instant attention be given
