A Chicago drummer balanced his chin

ear with the remark:

"Where?"

GLAD IT'S OVER.

The most prevalent feeling regarding
the Republican convention, among both
Republicans and Democrats, is relief
that it is over.
1t has been long drawn-out struggle
under decidedly unpleasant conditions,
and spectators. as well as delegates,
have wearied of it. In some respects it
has not been creditable to the party
which it represented. and therefor
among partisans there will be decided
feeling of relief that the suspense has
been ended and the cony yention brought
to an end before further harm was done.
Democrats will regard it, with more or
less Indifference, as the welcome ending
of a gathering which was practically
useless in the first place, since of all the
candidates who were presented not one
of them possessed sufficient strength to
raise a doubt in their minds OF Demo-
cratic success. The newspapers of both
parties will be pleased since the pres
sure upon their news columns is re-
moved, and attention may again be paid
to the more interesting field of general
news.
About the only people who view the
closing of the convention with regret
are the Chicago hotelkeepers. and theirs
is hardly diSinterested standpoint.

LEVI p. MORTON.

Hon. LEVI p. MORTON has been
chosen as the Republican candidate for
vice president, and his selection has
been made for reason that will hardly
commend itself to the country at large.
He was chosen because he is a rich man,
the friend of rich men, and incidentally
al Eastern man. A Western man hay
ing been chosen for first place, it was
necessary to go East to complete the
ticket.
AT once the name of MORTON COM
mended itself to the party managers,
not because Mr.. MORTON is particularly
an able man, not because he has made a
record which enables him to deserve
well of the people, not because he is a
statesman, but solely and simply be-
cause he possesses abundant wealth and
stands ready to put good deal of it at
the disposal of the national committee
in exchange for the honor of his selec-
tion for second place. AS to his positive
strength, he was unable to secure elec-
ton to the United States senate from
his own state. Money will be badly
needed by our Republican friends this
year. particularly in the prosecution of
their campaign in New York. MORTON
has the money and the inclination to
eXpend it. so there you are.
What contrast to the grand old pa
triot who occupies the second place on
the Democratic ticket, and who will be
the next vice president!

A GREAT CITY.

There is no doubt about it-Chicago is
a great city. 1t is the product of West
ern conditions, Western energy, West
ern enterprise; and the entire West,
which shares in the possession of all
these qualities, has a good right to be
proud of her.
Though during the most interesting
days of the convention there were 15O,-
600 strangers i'll the city, she cared for
them with the greatest ease, and, except
in the vicinity of the hotels, no especial
crowding was perceptible. 1t is to be
doubted whether any other city in the
country could have done so well; GER
tainly, experience has proven that ST.
Louis cannot. Though criticism may
very justly be passed upon the way in
which the convention was managed by
the local committee, the fault is not
ore with which the city at large can be
charged.
Chicago has good reason for self-con-
graduation, and it is only the part of
fairness that other cities should accord
her the praise which is her due,

VALE, VIRTUE,

Whatever good there has been in the
Republican party sank into sea of OBJ
livion yesterday when Judge GRESHAM
was set aside for BEN HARRISON. And
it is shameful to add, although the ad-
vantage be to the Democracy, that Min
nesota'S delegates aided in the hoisting
of the flag of apostacy, and at this mo-
ment are strutting about the streets of
Chicago valorOusly rejoicing thereat. 1t
would be fitting to inquire as to the
whereabouts of the thirty pieces of sill
yer.
GRESHAM was the choice, the idol,
the hope of the honest, but minority,
element in the Republican party. We
need hardly add that the Democracy
recognized his strength. Great is the
power of GOULD! Greater still is the
influence of gold! They nominated
BEN HARRISON yesterday.

is GORDON AIIVE2

1t is strange story, that which
comes from Africa of a white man,
who, in the very heart of the Dark
Continent, is leading we'll organized
host of natives against the forces of the
new mahdi.
Already the hope has sprung into
being that it may be CHINESE GORDON,
the hero of Khartoum, whom the
English government so shamelessly
deserted in his hour of need. There is
sufficient doubt as to GoRDoN'S death
to make the speculation regarding the
possibility of this strange white leader
being GORDON intensely interesting.
His death has never been conclu-
sively established. All the evidence
concerning it comes from sources notori-
ouSly unreliable.
There were abundant opportunities
Tor escaping from Khartoum after the
fall of the city became certain, and
GoRDoN's personal following was de-
voted to him to the death. 1t is by no
means impossible that they should have
escaped from the city to the jungle and
found refuge with a remote tribe.
GORDON was in no temper to restore
communication with the home govern
ment.
Always peculiar man, with east of
mind almost bordering upon insanity,
his feeling of pique, wounded pride and
just resentment would be intense.
Nothing would be more like the man
than that he should cut himself off from
all civilization and become, as this
stranger appears to have become, "a
avage leader of still more savage men,"
A volume of romance is bound up in
the career of Chinese GORDON, who
seems to have had an abiding love for
the dramatic, and it is certainly not
beyond the range of possibility that he
Sould have determined to round off his
career with romance of the IN rs. era

THE MACHINE WHIP.

The power of the machine whip and
its stinging lash was illustrated at Chi
cago yesterday in IiAHRIsoN's nomina-
ton. There were many delegates in the
convention who felt disposition to
exercise individual discretion. There
were many who were not disposed to
submit to the dictation of the party
managers, but the whip cracked and all
stepped promptly into line.
There were others, however. upon
whom the crack OF the whip had no
effect, who heard it with disgust, but
not with dismay. Though they were
FOwerless to prevent its coercing effect
upon majority of the convention, they
were, nevertheless, independent enongll
to defy it individually.
These find supporters among Repub-
licans liz every section Of the country,
particularly in the Westswhere the in
disposition to submit to any man or any
clique's dictation is especially strong.
The lash of the machine whip may be

a QUEER FISH OUToF WATER

Musical Members of the Finny
Tribe Giving Concerts at Cape
May.
Baltimore American.
The singing shad has been seen and
heard in lower Delaware bay this spring
1t hasn't been seen in large quantities,
of course, for the appearance of this odd
fish in the waters is rare occurrence.
But few of the singing shad have en-
chanted the fisherman since the season
began. They come from the South, and
sing only when the wind has died down
and the water is quiet. They come in
schools, emitting musical notes as they
swim along. The sounds they make
are soft and something like those of an
EOlian harp, 1t is hard to express, or
rather initiate, on paper, the melody
they sing. 1t runs something like this:
Wee no, he hi do de: de dI DUN,
This sound cannot be made with any
effect, except when the shad travel i'm
schools. The singing of single shad is
too fee be to be heard above the ripple
of the water. This year has been the
singing shad has favored the fishermen
of Delaware bay. Captain Arnold, one
of the oldest and most truthful of South
Jersey fishermen, said the other day
that he had heard the singing shad a
number of times in his piScatorial
career.
''They are rare, of course. so far north
as this. Even when they dO come. only
old fishers are apt to hear and distinguish
them. We know about. them, and are
more or less on the lookout for their oc-
casional arrival. They really belong off
the coasts of Bolivia and Chill where thev
are quite common. All sorts of fairy
tales are narrated about them by South
American fishermen. The singing shad
also breed in Japanese waters. The
fishermen of japan are delighted when
they strike school of singing shad.
They follow them up reverently. be-
cause they believe the fish are inspired.
They throw them food, and never catch
or eat them"
The singing shad is different from the
COMMONPLACE or roe shad. 1t is not so
large and there is slight difference in
the formation of the mouth. Only an
expert fisherman can tell when he has
caught one of the finny songsters. Old
fishermen regard the musical shad as
prizes and do not send them to market
unless they are paid very high price
for them. 1t is estimated that they
travel in schools of about 500. Their
singing is pleasing at first, but soon
grows monotonous. owing to the fact
that it is a constant repetition of the
same few sounds. Whether MANY
Delaware or move on to New York and
mingle with the plain every day Hudson
river shad is not known. They lose
their identity when they get in with
other fish and it is doubtful if they ever
sing alone

HARRISON AT HOME.
The Germans, the Labor Glasses

Solid Against the Republican
Nominee.
Chicago Tribune

saturdays 5 CnlcagO lrIDllne.
The New Yorkers who planned the
Harrison stampede were determined to
beat Gresham at all hazards and snuff
out the dreaded Blaine cOnflagration at
the same time, but were unwilling to
accept Sherman because of the belief
that he could not begin to carry the En-
pire state under any circumstances.
Hence they asked Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania to join them and select Harrison
as the most available man for anti
Gresham combine. They gave peculiar
reasons for the belief that Harrison
might prove winning candidate before
the people They accept without uues-
ton News wild statements as to Har-
risou's strength with the Germans and
labor classes in Indiana. They
are also assured that he could
win back the 5000 Republican
Greenbackers whom he stigmatized
few years ago as fools" and ''lunatics,"
and for whose accommodation he sug-
gested additional insane asylums. They
are made to believe he could get the
labor vote, Notwithstanding the fact
that nearly every labor organization in
Indiana is opposed to him, ad beat him
for reelection to the senate. They seem
convinced that he could carry the Pa
cific coast. Notwithstanding his offensive
pro-Chinese record. In other words,
they appear to think that the demon
strations in different quarters of Indi-
ana and elsewhere attesting Gresham's
strength with the people are really in
tended for Harrison. The present would

KEEP UP THE TAX.

The Republican platform declares for
the maintenance of the tariff just as it
is. Keep the tax on sugar; keep the
tax on coal; keep the tax on salt: keep
the tax on lumber; keep the tax on
blankets: keep the tax on woolen cloth
ing; keep the tax on plows, on hoes,
oh reapers and mowers. All this the
Republican platform declares its ad-
hesion to. 1t further says, wipe out the
tax on tobacco, on alcohol, on whisky;
make them free. but do not disturb the
tariff which protects the monopolies.

FUSS AND FEATHERS.

The new emperor of Germany seems
10 have an abnormal fondness for the
fuss and feathers, the gold lace and tin
sci of royalty. Vain to an extraordinary
degree, he loses no chance for Self-glori-
ticatiou.
With his revered fathers dead body
hardly cold. he is making preparations
for display of the pomp and circum-
stance of regal power, the occasion
being the opening of the reichstag,
which for egregiOus bad taste has
seldom been eQualed in the annals of
loyalty. Even the worst of kings have
have generally shown decent respect to
the memory of their predecessors. The
splendor with which the new emperor
has already surrounded himself sur
passes anything OF the kind indulged in
by his father on the most ceremonious
occasions Of his career.
The new emperor is not discerning or
a liberal man. He is not an observer of
the tendencies OF the times, or of the
mighty influences which move people.
His eyes are blinded by monarchical ar
rogance and f;lju0uS egotism, The ca
gerness with which he haSteus to put on
the trappings of his exalted position is
an indication OF both his present dis
position ard and his future career.
Though he does not understand the
Germans. nor appreciate their neccssi-
ties and longings. they are lightning
10 appreciate him well enough.
IL may bc that there are dark da, 8
ahead in Germany. but i: is quite likely
that when they pass Emperor WILLIAM
will have been taught a useful lesson.
The progress of liberalism may be slow.
it is irresistible.
