The Democratic Convention.

Will the democratic national convention
be held in an eastern or western cityq
That is question about which there is
considerable speculation. The members of
the democratic national committee, how
ever, do not appear to have given it much
consideration yet. The World, few days
ago, sent an inquiry to each one of them
asking for his preference, and on Monday
announced that it had received only TWEEN
ty-eight answers. The answers showed q
wide diversity of opinion. Nine refused
to express preference. and five
declared they had no choice. Three IA
vored st. Louis and three San Francisco.
Two favored Chicago and one would be
satisfied with either Chicago or New York.
Only one of the twenty-eight favored New
York as the first choice and one thought
he would be happy IL either New York or
Chicago saoald be selected. The commit
teemen On the Pacific slope wanted the CON-
vention TO meet in some one OF the cities in
that section. One named San Francisco
and another Tacoma. Chairman Brice
prefers not to express an opinion until he
knows whether Cincinnati wants the con-
vention. If she does he can be put down
as favoring her.
1t is apparent that very few Of those who
answered the Worlds inquiry have given
the question Of the location of the conven-
ton serieus consideration. A few of the
answers show that those who sent them
were influenced in their choice by a desire
to please the people of their respective Sec
tions. Those who named Chicago or New
York are prepared probably to insist upon
one or the other of those cities.
All things considered, Chicago, perhaps,
would be as satisfactory place as could be
chosen. II has one great advantage over
New York. 1t can be reached by mas
jority Of the delegates at much less cost
than New York. The latter city would OF
course, be satisfactory to all the Atlantic
coast states, but not to the states of the
west.
The politics Of city in which great po-
litical convention is held is not a matter OF
much consequence. The political leanings
of the people have little or no influence
upon the action Of the convention. Chicago
has ample hall and hotel accommodations,
and her weather, at the time the convention
is held, is much more likely to be pleasantly
cool THAI oppressively hot. Chicago i:
certain to have many friends among the
democratic national committee.

He wore black trousers and coat, and white
waistcoat and heavy round black cap, says the
San Francisco Chronicle Of the Grown Prince Of
Siam. On his coat at the sleeves as well as
down the 'front.' and on his waistcoat were
numerous buttons each one of gold, with
cleaning diamond for a center Round his
waist was heavy gold girdle of massive links,
with two loops, in front which
went to form watch chain long
enough and strong enough for his high
ness to hagg himself with. The third and
fourth fingers of each hand were loaded with
rings set with brilllants and precious stones.
In his wsistcoat pocket the top OF cigarette
case was showing, and when he pulled it out at
the end of the billiard game there was a big
cluster of brillants in the center of the concave
side. His walking stick had a gold crosshead.
and on the other side his initials were set with
diamonds and rubies.

The Attack on Senator price.

The republican leaders in Ohio seem 10
think that because the republicans have a
large majority in the legislature OF that
state and a majority IN the United States
Senate. Senator Brice can be deprived Of
his seat in the Senate on the ground that
at the time of his election he was not a resi-
dent Of Ohio. Even Senator Sherman
sympathizes with the movement against
Senator Brice. In a recent letter he said it
would not be proper thing for him to do
10 object to the seating Of Senator Brice.
when the latter came before the Senate to
be sworn in, but he expressed the opinion
that Ohio republicans ought TO ask the
legislature OF that state 10 make a thorough
investigation Of Senator Brice's eligibility,
and that If it were found that he was not a
legislature should bring the matter before
the United States Senate.
Although there seems to be no doubt that
Senator Sherman will be reelected to the
Senate, he Is apparently afraid that ex-Gov.
Foraker will defeat him. He would be
glad, therefore, il Senator Brice's seat
should be declared vacant. In that case
there would be an opportunity for ex-Gov.
Foraker to get into the Senate without dis
turbing Senator Sherman.
But if the Ohio legislature should investi-
gate the question whether or not Senator
Brice was resident Of Ohio at the time of
his election it would be disappointed. That
question has been investigated and dis
cussed in all its phases, and there is mo
reasonable doubt that Senator Brice was
and is resident Of Ohio.
1t is true that he has a residence in New
York city and in recent years has spent
great deal of his time there, but he has regu-
larly registered and voted in Ohio and has
always claimed his residence there. But,
having a majority in the legislature. the
republicans might ignore the evidence and
take the ground that because he spent the
most of his time In New York he was resi-
dent of that state when he was chosen to
represent Ohio In the Senate.
It seems that the republicans have been
preparing for some time to raise the ques-
ton of his eligibility. One Of the reasons
for thinking so is that the census enumerator
IN New York city enumerated Senator Brice
as resident Of New York. Whether or
not he did so under instructions is ques-
ton that may be raised later on if an effort
should be made to deprive the senator Of his
seat.
The probability, however. that Senator
Brice will be unseated is not strong. His
election was regular and his credentials are
all right. The legislature that elected him
was supposed to know whether or not he
was eligible, and it would be rather high
handed business for a subsequent legislature
Of different political complexion 10 at
tempt to undo what 1t had done for the pur-
pose of gaining political advantage. At
present it looks as if ex-Gov. Foraker. if
he insists upon getting into the Senate,
would have to make fight for the place &C.
cupied by Senator Sherman.

There is much excitement in political
circles at Montreal over the atti-
tude of Member P. A. Choquette
of the Canadian House OF Com
mons. His district of Montmagny is
one Of the richest agricultural coonties in
the province. Choqussts is a personal
friend and follower OF Liberal Leader VIII
fred Laurier and recs1tlY acoonpznisd that
statesman TO Boston. Ills latest utterance
In the columns Of bis own Newspaper, La
Sentinel, of St Thomas Is worthy of note:
THE conservatives says Mr.. Choquette,
''allsge that unrestricted reciprocity will
lead Canada into annexation with the
United States. Well, what If it
doesl We certainly have no objection
to that. It must come sooner or later.
and it win be better to annex us now en-
bloc than one by one, as is the case by i'm
migration. If reciprocity briggs about
annexation, this will signify that we will
profit therefrom and that the star-spangled
banner will be Of more use to us than the
British flag" That sounds rational. Since
the death OF the bitter opposition Of Sir
John Macdonald the final growth of the an
nexation sentiment to point of practical
union with the United States can only be q
matter of time. With US Canada has many
vast interests in common. But it has SC
little in common with England that the
wonder is that it should 50 long have re-
manned dependency when it could have
become independent 50 easily.

folds the Pension department like a black

Prices seem to be ranging quite low in the
autograph market and the sign manuals of
antique historical personages are meeting
with but a sluggish demand In London.
Lately the quotations have undergone a
veritable slump. While a document by
Cardinal Richelieu commanded only one
English shilling a document from our own
plain Jay Gould would probably be fought
for at 100000. This shows how little rev.
erenoe we have for the antiquities.

Rector Spaulding says that he left the
Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts, and
Joined the Catholic church at Cambridge
because he does not approve Of what he calls
"fasionalism." So he probably goes TO the
Roman church because he considers that
sufficiently irrational to suit his views.
Another thing that he objected to In the
Episcopal church was the prevailing free
dom Of thought. Consequently it is to be
presumed that he expects to be deprived OF
thought by bis newly acquired faith. When
q man has no particular talent for thought
it may become burden to him. Such men

Intelligence from San Francisco states
that Mexican dispatch from Manzanillo
SAYS the American steamer Roseville has ar
rived there and reports passing at sea the
wreck of the brig Tahiti. She was floating
bottom up and the captain Of the Roseville
says she must have been captised. All the
rigging had been cut away on the port side
apparently to prevent this. In September last
the Tahiti created a sensation at San
Francisco by putting into brakes bay In
distress. She had 80 Gilbert islanders on
board under contract to work in Mexico at
starvation wages. These men
were practically slaves. There
was much talk of Sc zing the
vessel. Finally the collector decided that
he had no right to detain her and the brig
left. 1t seems almost certain that ell on
board have been lost as the ships boats
were still with her and nothing has been
heard Of any of the survivors. Presumably
the wreck must have happened at least
month ago. Beside the islanders the ves-
sci carried officers and q crew of twenty
one, making total of 29l on board the ILL
fated craft. So the Pacific fishes must have
been eating islanders all through the
autumn. Great pity they didn't come over
and give the yankee museum men a show.

TIE question was asked MS a few
days ago: ''Of what kind Of people is
the peoples party composed? -
Our answer to that question is that
the peoples party is composed Of that
class Of men who do their own think
ing; men who have conviction of right;
men who are able to rise above preju-
dice and act on principles men who
would rather be right than president;
the best men of the country; the kind
of men of which Moses, John the
Baptist, Christ, Washington, Jeffer-
son, Franklin, and Lincoln were; men
who are willing to dare and do any
thing for the betterment of humanity;
the kind of men who love their neigh
bors as themselves; in short, it is
composed of the only class Of men
whose deeds live after them ia the
minds and hearts Of the people,-Alli-
