A PhilOrODhicaI Virw

The Chicago Post takes this philo.
sophical view of the action of the republi-
can national committee in determining
upon Minneapolis as the place of holding
the republican convention in 90:
Chicago was the first, as it will be the
most cordial and sincere, in congratulate
ing her handsome younger sister, Mime
apolis. on that young ladys triumph in
Washington. There is no bitterness in
Chicsgos Fluctuations. She sent her
own representatives down east to confer
with the sponsors of the Young man
whose loving glsnces have been shooting
hltherward OF late-sO much, for family
reasons, had to be done. But when
these discreet persons found the young
man alone they whispered in his ear that
there was younger sister in the family
whom, IN the fitness of things, he ought
not to ignore. The youngster took the
friendly tip. He saw the youthful Minnie
and was conquered. She, too, blrshing
miss, surrendered at discretion, and -there
is 10 be wedding in the family after all.
1t is all in the family. Chicago is The
older city in that noble group whose
home is in the spacious. healthful valley
OF the Mississippi. Fairest OF all these
Is Minneapolis. Her triumph is the tri-
umph OF the west. The west glories in
It. and Chicago most of all.
The toothless and bald headed pluto>
Gratis OF the east learned one lesson when
the worlds fair turned its back on the sea
coast and sought the natural seat and cen
ter OF empire in Chicago. They have
learned another now. In the fullness OF
time the scales will fall utterly from their
eyes and they will see the west as it is
and as ell the world sees 1.-THE domi-
nant region of this republic.
The ARGUS in the same spirit congrat-
ulates Minneapolis. 1t does not be-
grudge the mill city its prize. But it is
unfortunate that the prize has been won
upon the basis of the prejudice of the
little man with the big hat against Chica-
60 and Cincinnati. the convention cities
OF Illinois and Ohio.

"1iride of the Sea-"

From the ancient annual ceremony Of
throwing ring into the sea by the doge
Venice gained her second name, Bride OF
the Sea-" IL the Twelfth century, it is
said, this custom began. The pope OF
Rome preser ted to the doge of Venice

thority over the sea- and marry her every
year, you ard your successors forever, in
order that al may know she is under your

Phrenology from Hatter's Point of View

A London halter states his observation
of character, as phrenologically revealed,
as follows: "A high forehead, broad. sym
metrically divided, indicates large mind,
noble thoughts, and almost invariably
genius" In support of this he refers his
reader to the outlines of the heads of such
men as NJ. Jules Simon and Victor Hugo.
Bumps above and behind the ears show
cruelty. Persons whose heads bulge out
above the ears are usually prone to save
money; those with Il bump on the top of
the head are often very proud; very large
bump in this place denotes great egotism.
Men of wit and learning have prominent
and bullying forehead. He has also noted
that actors have usually forehead which
sticks out greatly. People with remark
able memories have prominent eyes; mathe-
maticians have the angle of the eyelids
visible from the side.

Bradstreet reports that general trade
has been relatively quiet at Boston, Phil
adelphia. Baltimore. Cincinnati, Pitts
burg, Memphis, st. Louis and t.Joseph.
Kansas City announces rather more &C.
tivity. At the south, the volume of
trade is smaller than anticipated, and low
prices for cotton check mercantile COLI
lections. Receipts of cotton, sugsr and
rice are exceptionally free. The excep-
ton as to collections being slow is in
Texas. Tobacco is more active
aud rubber and coffee are ex-
cited and higher in leading eastern
markets owing to Brazilian political com
plications. Leather and hides are dull.
st. Louis and Cincinnati report pig

cepiion to the rule Sales OF iron and
steel at Pi;,sburg within week amour,
to about $4,000 tons each, rather better
than the recent average. Several large
iron orders are booked for 1892 delivery
and makers of pig are less anxious to
sell. Sales of railway shares are fewer,
1,131. 600 against /. 500. 500 last week.
Exports of wheat and rye are in
creasing rapidly. some slight gain in total
volume of business in dry goods is re.

but the result on the whole is not up to
the expectations. Mems wear woolens

Blow Your Nose.

Alas, too often the admonition
of a mother to her child. The poor
innocent has probably inherited
catarrh and is not responsible for
it's sore and filthy nostrils. Did you
know thai tender soft thin skin lin.
ing the nostrils, called the mucous
membrane, extends all over the
body. Every organ in the system
and every orifice at the surface
has this thin delicate lining as a
protector. So you see what a fix
the body is thrown into when The
mucous membrane becomes irlita-
ted and infamed by constant fIic-
ton with poisonous matter in the
blood. Catarrh, leucorhear and
piles result frequently from this
condition of affairs. These diseas
es are mere SYMPTOMS of impover-
ished blood. Now b B B, Botanic
Blood Balm, will, by enriching the
blood, cause all such SYMPTOMS to
disappear. Give it a trial.

The finance bill that passed the
United States Senate last week
and is likely to pass the Lower
House soon, and which provides
that the unit of value in the Uni
ted States shall be the dollar, and
the same may be coined of 412g
grains standard silver or of 20 $40
grains of standard gold, and the
same coins shall be legal tender
for all debts public and private;
that any owner of silver or gold
bullion may deposit the same at
any mint of the United States to
be formed into standard dollars
for his benefit and without charge,
but it shall be lawful to refuse
any deposits of less value than
800, or any bullion so base as to
be unsuitable for the operations
of the mint; is one that should
satisfy all classes. The beauty of
the bill is that the Government is
not compelled to buy bullion on
the market, but the owners of
bullion can have it coined when
ever they desire it.
