Why Weaver Will Not Run.

Gen. James d. Weaver thus frankly states his
reasons for declining tho democratic nomina-
ton for Congress in the seventh district Of
Iowa: 'tFeeling at all times warm sympathy
for tho great industrial movement now shaking
the republic from center to circumference,
advised members OF tho alliance and other
labor organizations to hold q conference in tho
district concerning congressional matters
Such conference was held in this city at the
Aborn House on the 7th instant Friends at
tending that meeting were instructed not to
allow my name to be considered. The confer
ence designated the Hon. James ii. Barnett as
Its candidate. You will readily see from this
statement Of facts that can not consent
TO stand as = candidate, and that il l should
do so / would subject myself to the charge of
bad faith, and know that you would not know
inRly place ME In such a situation. These facts
were unknown to the members OF the conven-
tion when l was nominated, but l cannot
ignore their force"
The PEnfrcrioN OF HALLWAY TRAVEL is ex-
emplified in the Royal Blue line trains now
running between Washington, Baltimore. Phil
adeiphia and New York via Baltimore and Ohio
railroad Each car in every train is vestibuied
including baggage cars, day coaches, parlor
cars and sleepers. All are heated by steam
and lighted by Pintsch gas The anti-telescop-
ing device 10 attached to every car. Around
the ordinary traveller, riding in the day coach,

plying the parlor or sleeping cars. The COM
iors OF the coach passenger are further pro-
vided for through the separate lavatories for

Leasing Of Conyicts Abolished

Tho Mississippi constitutional convention
was in session all day yesterday and finally dts
posed Of the penitentiary question by the adop-
ton of substitute for the committee report,
which does not materially change the original
report, but gives the legislature a larger dis
erection than was at first proposed 1t provides
that no convicts shall ever be leased or hired
to any person or corporation, public or private
after December l, 1894. and that the legisla-
ture shall abandon the leasing system as soon as
possible. The judiciary committee, to whom
was referred the question as to the authority of
the convention to enact O constitution without
submitting the same to he people for ratifca.
ton. submitted its report. The committee ex-
press the opinion that the convention may con-
additionally make the constitution or amend
ments which it shall adopt absolute and final
without submitting the question Of ratification
or rejection to the qualified voters OF the state.

PARTY RESPONSIBILITY.

But in closing what have had to say it
would not be just to rest the claims Of the
House upon even the catalogue of its great
deeds. What the House has shown the coun-
try that any House can do is worth a princes
ransom. Henceforth promises cannot be ex-
cnsed except by performance.
"Henceforih grea. measures cannot be lost
and nobody know what has become OF them
Party responsibility has begun. and with it also
the responsibility of tho people, for they can
no longer elect democratic House and hope
that the minority will ueutralize their action,
or a republican House without being sure that
it will keep its pledges. II We have broken the
precedents OF an hundred years. We have set
the precedents of another hundred years.
nobler than the last, wherein responsibility
will wait on power, and wherein the people,
with full knowledge that their servants can act,
viii choose those who will worthily carry out
their will"

1.-Two years ago the democracy in the House
admitted that, owing to the change in the
methods of manufacturers, the whole WOODEN
industry was lettering TO fall unless woolens
and worsteds were put upon footing Of equal
NY. Nevertheless. for the purpose Of adding
TO the votes of the Mills bill, which could never
pass. they sacrificed the wooden industry, which
needed immediate attention. Without delay
and without waiting to strengthen their own
tariff bill by the support of the worsted men
Maj mckinley and Gov. Dingley pushed
through the measure of justice which has res
cued so many of our WOODEN mills from disas-
ter and ruin.
But these bills, useful as they are. were but
the forerunners OF that tariff bill over which
the Senate are now pouring the multitudinous
waves OF oratory. The Mckinley bill was not
made IN the closet; was not the product OF one
man who tried to know everything. II any

The "Kreutzer Sonata"

There is an old man in Russia who in his virile
days created thoughts which astonished the
world, coming as they did from an aristocrat
and Muscovite Many words of Count Leo
TolstoI have brought varied emotions to various
people. Noble though he be, he has flashed on
the public retina somewhat ugly picture of
the nobility. He has been rugged and severe;
tender and true; pitiless, almost merciless;
pathetic without drive; earnest and kind.
But, alasl this same glorious mentality has
on more than one occasion revealed want of
symmetry and perfection. The lucubrations of
senile debility are embodied in the latest pro-
duction of Tolstoi's enfeebled intellect. 1t
would be difficult to conceive the reason for Civ
ing to the world in such a form ideas so inco-
herent, so lacking in logical sequence, so devoid
of cohesiVeness as are to be found in chapter
succeeding chapter of the "Kreutzer Sonata"
Why il should have called forth the anathema
of the Post Office Department is beyond the power
Of comprehension. The prurient reader will find
in the pages of the russians latest work
naught on which to feed his Imagination. It's
! text contains no phosphorescent glare so daz
| cling and so Turing to the eye of those seeking
! for illicit attraction The book is II sermon, and a
very tiresome sermon. 1t is the discourse of a
| preacher whom one wishes to escape after the
! first few sentences. The preacher takes his text
because it is the proper thing to have
! a text, and yet what he says is not
! derived from the text, has no bearing on
! the text is not the logical outcome Of
! the meaning of the text Has not every one
! heard a speaker, of whose learning no one
doubted, take text and ramble along in mos
incoherent manner, giving thought after thought
as it presented itself to the mind insuffciently
prepared for its present work. Has it not beer
plain to every one that the preacher must have
become possessed of an idea which striking hin
from one point of view was only dwelt upon ant
not formulated? Thus are we prone to view

Mt. Pleasant feels as agreeable as its name
indicates, and good deal more elevated than it
is in reality, over the fact that it has gained
very important point in its little contest with
the street-car company. The residents of the
beautiful suburb can now get home from the
city for a single nickel, having to pay no extra
fare for being slowly dragged over the brow of
