tirely incaG'.ble OF changing tneir methods.
The solemnity of the British hotel is equiva-
lent to the solernnity of church.
a Careless sCULLIoN.
This morning I went to the office and
asked for my key. The scullion there said
that it was not on its hook, and would look
for it, He then began to fish for it among
ABOUT fifty keys in hole underneath the
place we had dropped our keys Having
hunted all these keys through, he said it was
not there. He had overlooked it in the null
tiplicity of keys. Had he attended to his
business, every one of those keys would have
been hung on its place the moment it was
dropped. Then their system viii never stand
the pressure and criticism of modern civili-
cation. You enter the huge dining room Of
the Hote! Metropole and find u series of pill
lars in the middle of the reom. These pillars
are all useless and unnecessary, and they sep
Grate people who eat from other people who
eat You are told that for certain amount
Of money you shall have so many dishes
They bring you the first dish, and it is about
one and q half to two ounces in weight. II
you submit this is all you will get of the first
dish. If you are an independent person you
will demand a second portion of the dish
when you come for the second part OF the
breakfast you get little piece about two or
three inches If you tell the man to take
that back and bring you something reason
able to eat be will obey like calf If you
submit you will get no more for breakfast
At tie Langham hotel you ring a bell for
something in the way Of refreshments; some
times a man will come in and sometimes he
will not You wonder where the center Of
these houses is; who conducts them; who is
responsible for them star as the chamber
maids and labor element go they are very
well attended TO, but if you go to the main
Office you are kept in state of apprehension,
wondering whether you have right to ask
for anything or not. On my way to London
stopped at Brighton for almost a week
Every day ! took my sea bath. Every night
slept under sheet In the course of three
or four ds!ys l was afflicted with a strange
kind of d.arrhea, l had never felt anything
of the kind before; there was slight pain in
the middle Of my stomach, attended with
cracking pains toward the side of my
stomach. l went to the hotel proprietor and
asked where the water came from which fed
Brighton. He said, with great politeness,
that it was the finest water in Great Britain
One morning the main waiter in the hotel re-
marked TO me: "Sir, you had better go to
London. The sea air seldom agrees with
strangers. With many strangers it disagrees
very much. You will never be any better 80
long as YOU stay here So went on to Lon
don, and n few hours was completely re-
stored to health.-London Letter

the recent convention at Columbia 10
nominate Gen. Polk for State Senator,
who was clearly the choice of majority
OF the Democrats OF the district, says the
issue between Gen. Polk and the conven-
ton, briefly stated, is this Gen. Polk
insisted that the convention had no au-
thority from the people TO determine their
choice for the United States senatorship.
This right was claimed by The convention,
and II obligated its nominees 10 support
Mr.. Harris for the senatorship." The
Democrat, in well-considered article, then
maintains that the convention was not as
scmblcd for the purpose OF shaping the
policy OF the party, or determining the
course which the candidates who might be
selected should pursue in case they wero
elected, but IL was n special convention to
select candidates, and when il had dis
charged that duty 1t had exhausted its
representative powers. Says the DCD,o-
era:
"No one. of course, would doubt for n
moment the power Of the majority in the
late convention, 10 use the advantage
which that majority gave them and name
men for various positions who were known
10 be Harris men; the objection is 10 the
action OF the convention in tho prclimin-

Harris for the scna,orship; such an abuse,
or rather such Il departure from IFS powers
ought not TO bc tolerated. There are
many Democrats who, whilst they might
checriully support men who arc known 10
be Harris men, yet would resent the idea
OF being pledged by party declaration TO
that support themselves.
"But there is stilta much better reason
than all this Why a candidate should not
