Upscientifc Advice to Timid Souls Who

Save us from the microbesl 1t has been
discovered by some one that hail is infested
by microbes, and we consequently earnestly
urge our readers to always seek shelter in
a hail storm as a precautionary measure
This is bad enough, but now along comes
some other scientific chap, who tells us
that Vichy water, which an ignorant and
p1ileless world has been drinking for cen
turtles, is loaded to the muzzle with
'germsp Presumably all other bottled
waters are in the same dangerous state,
and the water furnished to all of our cities
is more or less condemned by these men as
being in the same category. What are We
to dor Science is a dabster at pointing out
horrible perils that surround us on all
sides, but always gets shaky when it tries
to prescribe remedies, 1t is well for the
timid who trembe at the presence of the
| microbe, to think no more about him. tO
eat and drink as usual, and should an i'll
| assail let the indicated remedy remove it.

WHERE SHALL THE CONVENTION
BEP

Il has been a source of much salts |
faction, and no little complacency and |
serenity, to the leaders Of the Bepub- !
lican party in the East that the ad-
mission Of several western territories,
with their Republican majorities, to
the Union has made the continued
domination Of the party in the nation
more certain. But eastern politicians,
Republican and Democratic, are gen
orally clannish and selfish, and while
they would like to use the West as
their prop in power, they would also
much prefer to retain all the honors
as well as the emoluments. The
equities Of the situa ion are different,
however, and the West is in a position
not only to claim that the national
Republican convention should be held
further toward the setting sun, but
that our occidental region should be
well represented on the ticket
and, subsequently, in the adj
ministration. New York and
other Eastern states have fur
nished very good and at the same time
ornamental candidates for president
and vice-president, numerously, since
the Republican party was organized
but men who have been made presi
dent from even so far west as Illinois
and that isn't very far, have been thu
great men Of the age-men OF tn,
stamp Of Lincoln and OF Grant.
BY general consent James G.. Blaine
of far-east Maine, win be the candi
date next time, or else Alger o.
Gresham respectively Of Michigan anC
Indiana, but the yice-president shoult
come from west OF the Mississippi
river, and should be John NJ. Thurs
ton, OF Nebraska, who is even Of thu
best kind Of presidential timber
Judge Goodwin, Of Salt Lake City, /
he only lived in the Union-our owl
Governor Ferry or Judge Calkins o
LIS j. Hunt, aud the West shoult
demand this and get it, or know tn
reason why.
The Iowa Republican convention
did good thing in advocating the idei
OF having the next national Repub
lican convention held west Of tn
Mississippi. Although there was
large vote against it, this more prop
erly was because Of the Omaha claus
than because Of the general feature
OF the resolution. SO far as the peopl
OF the West are concerned il is not 5
much at this time a matter Of city a
OF general locality. The West is tn
field for Republicanism, and many @
the states have been returning goo
majorities for the tickets for year:
while all the party compliments hav
been given to the East. As to tn
convention itself, IL is not a matter G
dollars and cents at stake in ii
location; 1t is the educational feature,
1t has been claimed and justly, in mos
cases. that the East did not have an
idea Of the West, and for this reaso
rather than for selfish forethoughI
we have been practically ignored.
Western congresses and association
and combinations have been had fc
the purpose of forcing considerable
OF questions in which the West wa
interested. To bring the Republican
OF the East toward the West, wher
they could see for themselves what
big and prosperous country tn
United States il, would do incalcul;
Bile good in broadening their ideas.

are. And many are Ike Artemus
Wards friend, who found out lots OF
things that were not so. Congressman

in his Pacific slope travels, discovered
that the Democratic party was grow

and that sons of the Republican
fathers are Democrats. This entities
