OTHER CONVENTIONS.

The Twins are not hoggsh. They are
satisfied with one each of the national
conventions. This does. not near eX-
haust the list. The past day or two the
Prohibition body has determined its
nominating location. 1t was apparently
willing to accept the Inequalities of any
generous community in the convention
range. Here was the opportunity for
Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Cleveland, San
francisco, New York, Boston and the
Other cities that have been unable to
secure the Republican or Democratic
convention. But Milwaukee was too
busy getting a car of beer out
to send to the committee at Washing
ten. Its proverbial mOdesty kept Chicago
out of the scuffle. New York was too
much engrossed in monument building,
and the rest failed to realize the stu
alton. st. Louis, which sometimes
seems to Chicago to be little slow, took
in the prize before 1t was quite diScerned
by the others that they had missed all
opportunity. st. Louis is not exactly
temperance city, and is liberal in setting
up the liquid products, of which it is
proud, for the use Of visitors; but the
convention there will be free from press
ure for local favorites. The Prohibition
convention is built upon the same basis
as the larger party bodies. and conse-
quently will comprise nearly 900 dele
gates and as many alternates. if all the
districts are represented. There will
be large outside attendance, no doubt,
and tie ladies give their countenance to
it quite freely. Any city might be
glad to get the convention. It's partic-
ipants will be men and women of earn
est purpose, without expectation of
office. There will not be FLANAGAN
in the entire body. But there may be
other conventions to be taken in. The
Peoples party, and perhaps labor Or

HOW TOINVEST 1t.

In the quest for novelties one Of the
New York papers sought interviews
with many of the most prominent
millionaires to solve the eouundrum,
What is the best way to invest s1OO?''
Men who see such large sums as to
hardly recognize a trifle are not likely
to be the best cOunSelOrS to the man
who has but the 800 to invest. Re-
sponses were had from DEPEw, Flow
Err, HENRY CLEws, ROFUs HATCH
and ERAsTUS WYMAN, and no two
gave the same advice or suggested in
vestment in the way they had realized
their fortunes. HATCH would put it
somewhere where it can never reach

estate or bonds None advised specu-
lation of any kind. The list is defect

SECRETARY ELKINS.

Mr.. Eikins needs no Introduction to
the public. His services for his country
and himself speak loud enough for
themselves. He is a recognized sup
porter of Blaine, with whom he has been
associated in profitable business vent
ureS.-Duluth Herald.
While it is too near convention time
to look for creditable appointments, the
country was hardly prepared for Sc
lection so VIGOROUSLY unfit as this is
conceded to be. But if Mr.. Harrison
has sold himself to James g. Blaine, as
now seems probable, he will have to
make room for more than one political
tramp--Chicago Herald.
Two views may be taken of this pc
culiar appointment. One suggests that
Harrison is doing what he can to alien
ate the friends of Blaine. The other,
and the more plausible view, is that
perfect understanding exists between
the president and the secretary of state
that the latter is controlling opposition
to the denomination of the former in
order, at the effective moment, to give
Harrison the support which will procure
his renOmination.-ChicagO Times.
Mr.. Elkins has been successful as a
business man and as a politician, and
he will discharge the duties of his new
position satisfactorily. He will suffer,
however, from the fact that his prede-
ceSsor made a most excellent secretary.
and proposed and carried out a number
OF reforms in the army which had long
been needed. If Mr.. Elkins leaves the
army in as good condition as he finds it,
he viii have managed the department
Well.-ChicagO Tribune.
Whatever may be said of the taste dis
played by President Harrison in invit-
Ing Stephen b. Elkins into his cabinet
as secretary of war, at least it must be
clear that the action has great political
significance. Mr.. Elkins is Secretary
Blaine's warm perSonalfrieGd and chief
political lieutenant. 1t is made reason
ably certain by this appointment that a
perfect understanding exists between
Mr.. Harrison and his secretary of state
regarding the work of the Minneapolis
convention. Chicago News.
That "Steve" Elkins. of star-route
fame. and Judge Woods, who helped
BLOCKS of-five" Dudley to escape pun
lshment, should have been appointed to
lofty federal Offices within forty -eight
hours of each other seems to indicate
that President Harrison proposes to lean
on the practical politicians in his cam
paIgn for reelection and let the adher-
entS of that political honesty which
ingalls, pronOunceS an iridescent dream
go hang.-Chicago Times.

THE LOTTERY FIGHT.

The Louisiana Democrats have split
wide Opeu on the lottery issue, as it was
expected they would. In fact. the cues
ton is so lar in the front there that
there could be no cooperation. They
will have two tickets in the field, and
the battle will surge about the great
mOnStrOsity until its fate is determined.
So far as can be determined from the
outside, the forces are pretty evenly
matched in members, with a small ad-
vantage in favor of the lottery. 1t is
not surprising. after the demorali-
cation of twenty-three years of the
presence of the moral excrescence and
the tremendous brlbe it offers to
the public treasury that it is
able to divide the Democratic party.
The poet says the tendency is.
in such cases, first to hate, then en-
dure, and lastly to embrace. 1t is
rather surprise that the best elements
of the state have been able to make so
strong a fight as they have. The de-
cision of the question of the perpetual
ton of the lottery twenty-five years
Will rest with the Republicans. They
have not given any expression on the
subject as party, putting in their time
watching the fight among the Demo-
Gratis. 1t Is intimated that they will i'm
prove the opportunity of the Demo-
cratic split to come i'll between and
capture the Offices. This is quite
possible if they can keep out the
lottery issue or are generally unit
ed on it. Some Northern papers
have assumed that the Republican party
in that state would be ranged solidiv
under the banner of reform and death
TO the lottery. But there Is no sach
cheerful promise. The negroes con-
Stitute nearly all the voting element of
the party, and they are not interested
III moral ideas half SO much as in irving
their luck in lottery tickets. 1t seems
to be conceded that the Republican
vote will be immensely on the lottery
side. If this is the fact the further
fight against it in the state is hopeless.
1t is not certain that the Republi-
cans will strike out for themselves
and secure the state officers, but
that will be the natural policy of
the whites. The bulk OF the COL
ored vote will be thrown in the direc-
ton the lottery managers deem best.
But the election of one ticket or anoth-
er will not determine the continuance
of the lottery. A vote of the people is
to be had on a constitutional amend
ment extending the life of the niquitv.
The responsibility for its continuance
will rest mainly with the Republicans.
The Democratic vote Will be about a

Kaiser Wilhelm EnnObleS His
Chancellor.
BERLIN. Dec. 1S.-EmperOr William.
while at banquet this evening at Eel
tow, near POtsdam. received a dispatch
containing the information that the
reichstag had just passed the new com
mercial treaties. The emperor thereup-
on rose from the table. and informed
the company of the news that had been
brought 10 him. tie said: This salts
factory result is due to the devoted labor
of the chancellor. a simple, honest
PruSSian general. in two years he has
succeeded in becoming conversant with
and mastering problems of extreme diff
Guilty. With secure political insight he
has at the right moment saved the IA
therland from evil consequences. 1t is
only natural that single individuals
should make sacrifices in order that the
whole people might reap the advantage
of their achievements"
The conclusion of the treaties. said
Emperor William. was for pOSterity. 1t
was one of the most important and vital
events in the history of the reichStag
The large majority by which the treaties
were adopted showed that the reichS-
tag had recognized the far-see-
ing political vision of this man
and had associated itself with
him. 1t had by so acting made for itself
a mark and monument III the history
of the German empire. Despite the
suspicious and difficulties the chancel-
Tor and his own advisers had with in
many quarters, they had succeeded in
guiding the fatherland into new paths
Il am convinced" continued the en-
perOr, 'that not only the fatherand,
but the millions of subjects OF the other
countries united with Us in the customs
league. will sooner or later bless this
day. l ask you 10 drink to the health
of Gen. Count Won Caprivi-er lebe
hOeh." The emperor himself led III the
cheering which followed.
The emperor further said that all the
nations Of the world might we'll envy
Germany. On such an occasion the peo-
pie met their sovereign as members of
one family Their father hoped that
the farmers and the rural population of
the whole empire would feel now. as
ever. that he and they belonged TO one
another, and would recognize the Old
HOhenZOllern motto, ''Suun cuiqRe," as
being applicable i'll the highest degree
to agriculture.
In recognition of Gen. Caprivi's serv-
ices the kaiser has raised him to the
rank OF a PruSSian count. This eleva-
ton comes TO Gen. Caprivi near his fif-
tieth anniversary which will be early in
1892. Capriyi was lot of noble birth,
being the sou of an eminent Berlin jur-
ist, and his promotions have been wholly
in the line OF military and civil service

balism in 1t.

VIENNA, Dec. 1s.-A frightful story
Of murder and cannibalism comes
from q small town III Rus
sian Poland. Three peasants en-
ticed a shoemaker into a forest
and beat him to death. To get his
money was the object of the murder.
They then stripped the body and cut it
to pieces, gathered quantity of wood
and heaped it about the remains and
set it afire. The fire went out without
having consumed all of the body.
Later on workman from the same
vicinity was passing near the scene of
the murder, and saw piece of half
roasted flesh in the ashes of what had
been fire. He supposed that some one
had been cooking game, and had left
part of it there. He took the
flesh home, told some others
OF his luck in finding it and
invited them 10 join in eating it. AS
meat was rare luxury, they readily
complied. While devouring the hor-
rlble food, some one accused the finder
of having stolen the meat To prove
that he was not thief, he invited them
to accompany HIM to the forest. There
a closer search uncovered other remains
OF the murdered shoemaker, and horri-
fed the men with the evidence of what
they had been eating.

BY THE PEOPLE,

Senator TURPIE, on the Democratic
side, has made an able argument in the
senate in favor of the amendment of the
constitution so as to allow the election
of senators by the people. Senator
MITCHELL, the Republican from Ore
gon, is also warm supporter of the
change. They will be sustained by
Senator PALMER, of Illinois, and some
others, but there is small prospect that
the senate will submit the proposition
to the state legislatures for ratification.
1t is not a scheme that commends itself
to the average senator. Its adop-
ton would greatly change the COM
position Of the senate. The designation
of the millionaires' club would not be
likely to have much place IN that event.
Public sentiment must first make itself
felt in party platforms before progress
can be made in this direction. Nor
would the state legislatures take kindly
to the change. The selection Of the
senator is one of the most interesting
incidents to the member of the legisla-
ture. IL may be a popular fallacy that
the man with Ia barrel has the pull
as a rule with legislatures, but the SEN
atOr, when of the White house party,
has good deal of patronage to dispense
about his state. There are postOffices
and other things scattered about that
the generosity of the senator will natur-
ally place at the disposal Of the useful
legislator. At the best, the way to the
change is difficult and tedious one.
The chief end sought can be approx
mately obtained by instructions to the
members of the legislature, as in the
cases of the election of PALEER in Hi
nois. But for the action of the Demo
Gratis in their state and local conventions
in that case, they would probably have
failed to gain the senator.

NEED MORE ROOM.
Worlds Fair Officials Have a
Hard Nut TO Crack.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.-'The worlds fair
authorities will soon have big problem
to solve. One question which has
troubled the directors has been that of
securing sufficient space inside the
buildings. In satisfying the demand
for that, another cause for alarm has
been created. The question now is to
secure sufficient space outside of the
buildings. Because of an elaborate
allotment of ground for the purpose of
outside decorations, the space accorded
to pedestrians has been so narrowed
down as to make it almost useless for
the purpose intended.
Between the buildings, and between
the buildings and the lake and the
lagoon the authorities admit there is not
sufficient space. AS consequence.
Chief Burnham, of the construction de-
partment, and the buildings and grounds
committee are now wrestling with the
proposition. The only way out of it is
to do away with considerable of the
space accorded for the purpose of floral
decorations. Even then, it is admitted,
the space will be insufficient.
