THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
VENTION.

The democratic state convention met
at st. Joseph on last Wednesday, June
IL, with a full attendance of delegates,
and an unusually large number of Wis
itors, principally friends of candidates,
but many OF them simply enthusiastic
democrats anxious to be present at the
great love feast OF the party. Indeed
it has been observable this spring at all
the democratic gatherings and con-
ventions that unusual interest IL
IN lnifesled aud that more democrats
have turned out than for many years
before.
In nominating for supreme judge
Hon. James b. CAN'T, of Clinton coun-
ty, the convention selected a man OF
modesty, of great ability as a lawyer
and jurist. of unbending and unques-
toned integrity, and of fearless cour-
age. Judge CAN'T is a native OF Put
nam county, Ga, having been born
October 9th, 1915. At the early aye
of 16 his proud spirit took aim into the
confederate army, where he served
with the army OF Virginia until incapac-
itated by wounds. One of the bravest
of the brave as a member of the 18th
Georgia infantry, under Stonewall
Jackson,-wounded twice at tho battle
OF Gettysburg, once at the battle oil the
Wilderness, and very severely in the
knee at Cedar creek, October 18th,
1864, from which hurt he has ever
since carried a crooked leg. After the
war young CAN'T devoted himself to
books, studied law at Macon, Ca. until
1866; graduated from the law depart
ment of the University of Virginia
in 1868, where he was the class
mate of Messrs. Alexander Graves,
j. d. Shewalter, C. +. Eller-
be and other Missourians now
prominent at the bar. Mr.. CAN'T
came to Missouri the year of his grad
uation, and located in st. Louis.
Thence to Sedalia, where he was
associated with Messrs. Vest and
Philips. Thence to Clinton, where in
1880 he was elected circuit Judge.
There is moi a more incompatible man
in Missouri. A splendid lawyer, a
ready and terse writer, in the full
vigor of his manhood, able, physically
and mentally, he will make a most
excellent and worthy Judge.

MANAGER RAPbEY GETS TT.
He Leases Lincoln Hall and VIII Run 1t as
Regular Theatre Next Season.

He Leases Lincoln Hall and viii Run IT as
Regular Theatre Next Season.
\ very important move in local theatrical ar-
fairs was made yesterday, when Mr. w. w.
Raplcy secured lease of Lincoln Music Hall
for term of years. Ever since Lincoln Hall
was completed number of theatrical managers
have been endeavoring to get control of it and
conduct it as a regular theatre. But the owners
of the property for long time hesltated about
making this disposition of the hall, as they in
clined to the belief that they could do better by
renting it for concerts, local entertainments and
occasional theatrical and operate engagements
Among the theatrical managers who have
made offers for a lease of the hall were the
well-known firm of Britton, Deane & Easton,
which now controls the enterprises of the late
Pat. Harris, including the Bijou Theatre in
this city; Mr. Joseph Strasburger, and Mr. A.
z. Anderson, formerly Bob Downing's mana
ger. Messrs. Britton Deane & Easton were
very anxious to obtain the house and run it as
tirst-class place of amusement in connection
with their Baltimore house, the Academy of
Music.
Recently Mr.. w. W. Rapley Of the National
Theatre, turned his attention to Lincoln Hall,
and decided to get control of it if he could
make advantageous terms The offer he made
was satisfactory to the owners, and it was ac-
cepted and the bargain finally made yesterday.
1--WE will change the name of the house
from Lincoln Hall to the Academy of Music,'
said MIR. Harry Rapley last night, land will
conduct it as strictly frst.class place of
amusement. The same policy will be pursued
in the management Of the New Academy of
Music as has prevailed in the management of
the New National Theatre. Only attracton ms
of the highest order of merit will be presented
We will not take hold uatil next season. The
house will be opened in September as a regular
theatre"
1t is known that Lincoln Hall has been held
for rental of $4,000 year, and it is supposed
Manager Rapley will give in the neghborhood
of that figure.

The Copyright Question.

OTTAWA, ONT, Dec. 27.-Sir John Thomp-
son says that since his conversation with Lord
knutsford on the copyright question the Cana
dian government has received no communica-
ton from the British colonial Office on the sub
ject except the transmission of the views of the
Society of Authors, already published. Lord
knutsford is of the opinion that Canada has not
the power to legislate on foreign copyright,
and it has not been agreed to confer the power
upon her. Sir John Thompson, however, has
good reasons for believing that during the pres
ent or next session of the Imperial Parliament
legislation comforting the power will be passed,
He is of the opinion that the passage of the
smonds Copyright bill would not affect the
Canadian question, as that measure only gives
British authors domestic copyright in the
United States on condition that the work is re-
set with American type and rebound in the
United States. An order in council was passed
by the Canadian government some time ago
asking the colonial Office to withdraw Canada
from the Berne Copyright Convention.

Protection and Retaliation.

By order issued yesterday by the Secretary of
Agriculture all ports, except st. Albans in the
collection district of Vermont are closed against
importation of cattle, sheep, and other rumi-
nants or swine from Canada, and also insisting
upon the inspection by a veterinary inspector
of all such animals imported. Secretary Rusk
says this is done as q protection against the
introduction into this country from Canada of
any contagious disease affecting these classes of
animals, and in view of the fact that the Eng
lish veterinary authorities at Dundee, Scotland,
have only recently seized Canadian cattle when
landed there, declaring them to be affected
England has prohibited the importation @ @ eohn into
that country of sheep from the United States
on the ground that the Government has not
heretofore caused caused to be made an inspec-
tion or quarantine of sheep arriving here from
other parts of the world: The stringent regu-
lations of Secretary Rusk are designed to insure
the protection Of the live stock of the United
States from imported diseases, and to secure, if
possible, the removal of prohbitory restrictions
now placed upon animals exported from this
country.

agreeable SurpriSe-Einancial situation
Improving.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-The situation both in
Wall street and in the mercantile community is
improving, which is great surprise to many
who have been expecting heavy and numerous
failures toward the close of the year, but the
failures for the present week, as shown by
Dunn u Co.'s report are a trihe larger than
those of the corresponding week of last year.
In Wall street the crop has long been passed
and affairs have settled down to an everyday
condition. To-day another excellent bank
statement with an increase OF over IS, ,OOO 900 in
surplus reserve shows that money is again ac-
cumulating in New York, and after the January
disbursements have been made, money is likely
to loan at very low rates. Investors will then
look to the street for good bonds and dividend
paying stocks. The statement also showed a
large gain in gold, which is very encoura ging
sign.
The market, of course, still retained its holi-
day character, but there was a most marked
disposition by the short sellers of the earlier
portion of the week to discount good bank
statement by covering their shorts, which of
Itself gave the market strong tone, which
lasted from the opening to the close.
Money on call has been easy ranging from
4 to ., last loan at 4, and closing offered at T.

of the way from Wheeling, w. Va. He was

possible to alleviate his sufferngs, hut it is the

The death-rattle is in the throat of the wear.

eulogy can honestly be raised above its bier
Eighteen hundred and ninety has been a year of
peace the world over, and the pages Of its his
tory will not be lurid nor luminous with the
stirring accounts OF great battles lost and won.
Of revolutions, of mighty cataclysms of nature,
of plague, nor Of pestilence. 1t has been said
that happy is the people whose annals arc bar

deserving of grateful remembrance, for its an

made Of. But peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war, and in the annals of 1890
will be recorded some victories in the cause of
humanity, of progress, and of enlightenment.
In Europe there has been no notable set back to
the advance Of the awakening masses, and their
needs and rights seem to be winning day by dav
more and more recognition from Kaisers, Kings,

Democratic friends seem confident, for the final
reversal of the policy Of high protection and
return TO policy OF freer trade The more sun
guine Democrats also believe that with this. too
will be mingled the record Of the beginning Of
the final downfall Of the Republican party; but
they should not forget that the Republican party
has many characteristics of the jellyfsh and has
quite remarkable knack OF sprouting new ten
tacles to take the place Of those that have been
Topped OF in battle or have sloughed off through
internal decay This characteristic has enabled
thai party to retain or regain its grip on power
under some very unlikely circumstances in the
past. OF course, even the jellyish loses this
power Of selfreproduction as it approaches the
limit Of its allotted span of life. That the Re
publican party is approaching this limit a good
many of it's symptoms would seem to indicate
Still, unquestionably just nowit is striving with
all the vitality that is left it to sprout new ten
tacle that may enable it to retain its hold on
power. This newly-projected tentacle is called
