DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

No formal announcement of the day
on which the approaching Democratic
State Convention will be held has been
made, but the members of the executive
committee have authorized Chairman
Kisner to make the call for the first
Wednesday in September. The con
venton will be held in the Grand Opera
House in this city and will nominate
a candidate for the office of state treas
urer.
The material from which the conveu-
tion will select the candidate Is abund-
ant and excellent Among those men
toned as possible candidates before
the convention are Representative
Wherry of Cumberland county, Re-
presentative Clay of Elk, John $.
Davis of Philadelphia, E. A. Bigler of
Clearfeld, j. f. Temple OF Greene, J.
b. Larkin and d. o. Barr of Pittsburg,
K. F. Kerr, of Bedford, and Homer j
Humes, of Crawford. Mr. Wherry's
attack upon the management of the
sinking fund makes him a prominent
figure. Ex Senator Humes authorship
of the law by which moneys in the
sinking fund are required to be in vest
ed in the state and United States bonds,
also makes him a formidable candidate.
The other gentlemen are equally well
known and each have strong points of
availability. John S. DAVIS il very
popular in Philadelphia, j ohm B. Larkin
has made an admirable postmaster for
Pittsburg, D. o. Barr is an excellent
fnauncier, E. f. Keer is a prominent
lawyer and successful business man
j. f. Temple is known the state over
as former auditor general, and Cap.
tain Clay is one OF the most prominent
members of the present legislature.
The convention can hardly make a
mistake if it confne its choice to the
gentlemen named. Bat local favorit
ism should not be permitted to inhl-
ence the selection of a candidate. Nor
should the convention raise any issue,
either in its platform or in the record
Of its candidates, except that which
the election of a state treasurer natur-
ally and properly involves The demo
cratic platform aud an undoubted saint
nominated as the democratic candidate
there would be danger of a popular
reaction against both. 1t may be well
though for the convention to declare
itself on the liquor question, as thai
is an issue already raised and pressing
for solution and ono which has some
bearing on the subject of the raising
of revenue, matter which the state
treasurer is obliged to consider in his
official capacity. But there is certainly
no occasion for lngging anything into
the canvas that does not pertain direct
ly or indirectly to the character of the
Office to be fill Patriot.

SUPREME COURT DECISION
CONCERNING WHOLESALE LIcENsEs


The supreme court, sitting in Phila
delphia, on Friday granted the per.
empiory mandamus asked for by the
Prospect brewing company, requiring
the court of quarter sessions to grant a
brewers license TO the corporation for
the present year. Chief Justice Pay
son delivered the opinion in the case,
in the course of which he handled the
license court without gloves for the use
OF meaningless adjectives in its return
TO the writ, and held that the great
discre ion allowed the quarter sessions
in treatment of retail applicants was
not conferred by the esilier act relat-
ing to tho granting OF licenses to brew
ers. The court reversed the judgment
OF the license court of Allegheny county
in the Gases of fifteen bottlers and four
or five Wholesale dealers, who took out
writs of certiorari. A procedendo was
awarded in these cases, which j. equiv
alent to an order d recling the issua.ce
of licenses.
THE CHIEF JUSTICES VIEWS.
Chief Justice PaIson delivered two
elaborate Opinions covering the points
raised in the several cases. In the
case of Mary Il. Pollard, a whol, sale
dealer in P't,sburg, he delivered an
opinion holding that in the granting of
wholesale licenses the court Of quarter
sessions had not the large discretion
conferred upon it by the retail act, but
a qualified, limited discretion, and is
confined to the inquiry whether the
applicant is citizen Of the United
States, of temperate habits and good
moral character, and that where no re.
monstrance or objection appears on the
record the license should be granted.

says, 10 the Prospect brewery decision,

What 1t Meant.

Have you got any kismet," asked a
lady in a city millinery store yesterday.
"Kismet?' said the millinery intero-
gatiyely. mo, Just out"
As a matter of fact the milliner didn't
know what the customer wanted to pur
chase, but she took a learned male friend
into her confidence. After some research
he told her that kismet was a Turkish
word meaning destiny. but gave it 8 his
opinion that the customer was not seek
ing destiny in a millinery store.
The gentleman, becoming interested
himself. started out to see if he could find
anybody who could tell him anything
about "Kismet." He went into Rhodes
& Troxell's drug store in his search for
information. Dick Troxell thought it was
the name of a novel which the firm had
had in stock, while Doug Rhodes was
equally certain that it was the name OF a
race horse on which he had bought pools
last summer.
The inquirer after information was GER
tain that neither of these articles would
be sought in a millinery store, He there
fore looked up a literary friend, who was
positive that Kismet was the name of c
brand of cheap cigars. Finally the
gentleman made the rounds of the dry
goods stores, At the last one he entered
he put the stereotyped inquiry as to what
was meant by 'Kismet"
There was a lady in here for it to-
day." said the clerk. Il told her frankly
l had never heard of such a thing and she
informed me that it was the name of a
new and stylish braid which is probably
just out in the East and has not yet been
introduced here"
The inquirer after information was sat
isfed and relieved.

The agile, keen.witted, hard-working
DAILY family long ago made a warm place
for themselves in the hearts OF the theatre
goers of this country. Their antics in
Vacation have made thousands laugh in
the past few years, and luch curiosity to
know what it would be like has existed
since it was announced hat they were to
have a new play. Last evening Music
Hall was packed to the doors with appre-
ciative friends to witness the first produc-
ton of Upside Doton, the new setting for
the family. OF course Upside Doton has
no plot. There is no use for one. But
as a vehicle in which the Days and their
excellent company may ride and display
their pronounced abilities it is a success.
The Days will hold forth at the opera
house next Monday evening.
