MIR. EDITOR Since our " sOlous have
decrced that we shall have a Constitutions
convention, it is incumbent upon Us, as in-
telligcnt citizens, to view this matter in its
trtc light, for, in the humble Judgment Of
vour correspondent, this will be the most
momcn,ous'cvent in the history orour State
since the historic days of 1860,
The eyes of the south, aye, of north, east
and west are fixed upon us and not alone
the veal or woe Of our " beloved state,
hut possibly that of the entire south is, in u
great measure, dependent upon the acts
which will be promulgated. Then, as good
citizens, as fathers who dearly love II
children and who sincerely desire the well
fare Of our country, We should be especial
" careful in the selection Of men who shall
draft that instrument which is to be not ON.

ture generations.
There are many grave questions to be dis
cuSsel when the convention assemblies that

these are of Il character that have no Preee-
dent in the past, and We of necessity, must
be our Owl pioneers.
For this reason, as we'll AS many others,
we should lty aside all personal prCjudlces,

lection ofmen to represent us. They should
be men of broad and liberal views men

STRANGE THINGS.

Strange things may be observed about
the present time. One of the straugest is
that newspapers should denounce Buckley
anu support Buckley's nominees. Yet
there is not Democratic paper in the State
that is not doing this strange thing. One
OF the most conspicuous cases is that of a
weekly which can find no words too bitter
for Buckley, which declared in advance
that Pond was Buckley's choice for Gov
ernor, and which now lends what is left of
its force to the support Of the Buckley
ticket. The weekly in question never takes
the trouble to reconcile one issue with
another. Each paper is prepared as if it
was fixed fact that there is no past and
especially no hereafter. But the mental
observation which has become habitual
with one weekly contemporary has over
taken the dailies of the same political per-
suasion. They den0unce Buckley and
Buckley's methods, but they support Buck
ley's candidates. Another strange thing is
the studied effort On the part of our Demo
cratic contemporaries to create responsible
ity for the extravaganza of the last Legis-
lature. They even ask the people to believe
that after. levying tax of Y cents on the
500 LIST year they VIII be content with
the proceeds of tax levy of 45 cents this
year. They make this draft upon the pub
lie credulity in the face of the well-known
fact that the man who controlled the last
Legislature will control the next one, should
1t be what Buckley terms Democratic.
The morning call., 1890-09-02
FRENCH WINES.

A Paris journal lives under the impression
that the best classes in the United States
would protest against any tariff revision
that would exclude or greatly increase the
cost of French Injuries, including French
wines Without doubt there are Americans
who do not think they have dined unless
bottles bearing French labels have adorned
their table, but this class is not sufficiently
numerous TO dictate the American policy in
regulating trade between nations It is
possible that the Mckinley bill would
have been matured if tile French Govern
ment had not prohibited the sale of Ameri-
can pork in France, but the fact of prohibit
ton would be Justification, if one were
needed, of an increase in the duties on
French Injuries. 1t would be difficult to
not find good substitute in some kind of
American products. French champagne is
superior to California champagne, but the
number of Americans who habitually drink
French wines of any kind is small. There
are articles of French manufacture which
perhaps are not equaled in elegance and
finish by like articles from American mills,
but in most cases the difference is largely I'M
aginative. Dealers in imported articles are
constantly assuring their customers that
native goods are lacking in something which
the loIeign articles possess. But ii anything
should happen to shut ost the foreign articles,
American purchasers would be surprised to
ma now good substitute American mills
could produce. While there may still be a
desirable exchange Of products between

PARTISAN CLAIMS.

4 DrElOeratic paper devoted some space
the other morning to an examination of the
claims Colonel Markham had to the Repuh-
lican nomination for Governor. 1t will
readily be admitted that he had no especial
claim-that Is 70 claims that are not pos
sesstd By many other citizens. 1t is only
once il a while that man rises to the posi-
ti9n in American politics which entities
him IT, consider tile tender Of an Office an
act Of simple justice. The candidate Sc
lected is generally one Of many whose
qualifications for the Office are nearly equal.
In very many eases the man does not get
the nomination whose fitness for it was
most apparent. In selecting Colonel Mark
ham the Republicans did not intend to as
sert that he is the only man in the State
tit for the Office of Governor. They did
mean to say that lie is well equipped, and
that his personal and political character is
such that he might fairly be made the
standard-bearer of the party in the coming
campaign. But neither Mr.. Markham, Mr..
Morrow, Mr.. Chapman, Mr.. Shippee nor
other prominent aspirant can be said to
have had a claim to the nomination. Per-
sOnal fitness being secured, availability has
much TO do with the selection. The south
ern counties cannot be admitted to have
had claim to the nomination. 1t was
simply deemed expedient, as the southern
counties presented fit aspirant, that the
nomination should be given to them. 1t
might have gone to the north or the cen
trail counties, but, all things considered, it
was deemed the wiser policy to give it to
the south. a good many men in a party
have what political workers call claims 4"
to an office, but only one in hundred gets
tho often

WILL NOT WORK.

The announcement has been made that
Republican who was smirched by the Little
Pete" disclosures is an aspirant for rem omi-
ton. This announcement TALES with the
intimation that the municipal nominations
may be put off until the month preceding
the election. If there is any lingering idea
on the Tart of men who would like to ''boss''
the Republican party that known scalawags
can be elected on the Republican ticket such
would-be bosses would naturally like
short campaign Among the many names
that will be presented FIR voters to choose
from some bad ones might slip through in
short contest There have been hints of
tie possibility of non-partisan ticket in
case the Republicans should fail to nomi-
nate ticket that commands the support OF
the respectable portion of the community.
If the NJ lnicipal Convention should be put
off until October it would be quick work to
get another ticket in the field. 1t is better
to nominate the ticket long enough before
the election to enable thorough canvass of
its Candidates to be made. The people are
not in mood to put up with Hobson's
choice.

A TRAMP,S LEGACY.
The Good Fortune That Befell an Ind
ana Farmers Wife.

Martinsville, Ind, is justly excited over
number of very unusual financial transac-
tions. Last May decent-looking tramp
applied at the farm Of Ovid Martin for sup
per and nights lodging, in payment for
which he said he would be willing to work
for the farmer next day. Martin fed the
tramp and gave him bed. True to his
promise he worked all of the following day
at different chores he was set to doing. At
about supper time next day he was seized
with violent hemorrhage of the lungs. Be-
fore doctor could be summoned the tramp
had three other hemOrrhages and died from
the last one. The man had been siDgularly
reticent, and had not even told his name to
the farmer or any of the family Nothing
could be found on him that gave any clew to
his identity. He was evidently 30 years of
age. Farmer Martin buried the stranger at
bis own expense in one corner of his orchard.
The clothing he wore was badly tattered,
with the exception of the coat, which was a
reefing jacket of stout wooden cloth.
Mrs. Martin hung the coat away in her
garrett A few days ago she was cutting up
a lot OF cast-off clothing into carpet rags,
and she added the tramp's coat to the rest.
The first rip she made in the lining of the
old jacket revealed to her astonished gaze
500 bill. As soon as she recovered from
the effects of her discovery she resumed her
bank bill, until she had taken from the
tramp's reefing jacket $3.50 in good United
States money, all carefully padded away
between the lining and the cloth. As the
Martins recently met with q heavy loss by
fire, the good fortune that has come to them
through the trampS legacy is most oppor-
tune-New York Sun.

NO CONFLICT.

The Washington special to the New York
Times, reviewing the effects of Mr.. Blaine's
Waterville speech upon the Republican
leaders, magnifes the differences of opinion
between Mr.. Blaine and other leaders on
the tariff question. There is nothing in
Blaine's speech as reported, which would
prevent him, if he were member of Con-
gress, from voting for the Mckinley bill
when it comes up for final passage. Mr..
Blaine has made no attack upon the pur-
pose of the Mckinley bill. He has not sug-
gested a reduction of the duties en- such
foreign products as come in competition
with American products. The Mckinley
bin makes no attempt to create market for
American products while admitting free
certain foreign products, which. under
existing conditions, we largely import Mr.
Blaine suggests that the free admission Of
such products might be made kind of lever
to open the markets of the countries from
which such goods will be received to
the products of American farms and Ameri-
can mills THE CALL would have pre-
ferred to see Mr.. Blaine make a suggestion
that the present duties on sugar should be
continued until the experi6@nto of beet sugar
