EARLY Hours In Foreign Countries.
There Is popularity which Vienna
shares In common with Nil Austrian
towns. 1t Il that the streets at ten O'Clock
p. m. arc quite deserted, owing to law
which exists authorizing tho concierge
(doorkecper) TO levy a tax OF ten kreut-
GERS, called the spcrgeld, on any person
when leaving or entering n house after
that hour. This spergeid obIiges you
when invited to late party to pay ten
kreutzers on leaving your own apart
ments, ten more on entering your friends
the same amount again on leaving, and
another ten on re-entcring your own
house. This tax gives rise TO some Curl
GUS fashions. Thus the theatre and opera
commence carly and close at a quarter to
ten. II the performance lasts longer, the
great bulk OF the audience will rise and
hasten away. Parties are broken up,
and even inveterate whist players inter-
rupt their rubbers, In order toavoid being
out after ten and suhjecting themselves
to the payment OF the tax. In Corea
there Is also very peculiar custom for
bidding any OF the male portion OF the
population from being out after eight
O'Clock in the evening. When the Corean
eight o'clock curfew sounds, all the men
must be indoors while tho womer nre free

conversa,ion Nv ,yh,.,,,,g.

AL the inhabitants, with the exception
OF a few Of the best families OF the Island
Of Gomera, one OF the Canary group, are
able to carry on simple conversation by
the aid Of whistling, and over distances
at which spoken words could not be
heard. The whistled language does not
consist OF precqncerted signs and sounds,
but every single syllable has It's own Pc
culiar note. The whistling is formed by
the lips and tongue, or, as in our country,
with the help Of one or two fingers. A
German officer, who has been long In the
island, attributes this practice to the PEI
GUITAR conhguration OF the island, which
is broken up into deep chasms, SO that
near neighbors have to go miles out OF
their way to visit each other to have a
talk together; this, he says, drove them
to adopt whistling as mode OF convey
ing their thoughts. The practice ID con-
fined to this one island, being quite UNI
known in the other islands of the .archi-
pelago.

The Washington Post has preferred
the charge that Henry Cabot Lodge
and Henry Adams have enjoyed n
monopoly of access to certain rare his
torical documents of the State Depart
ment, and have paid the clerks for
making copies. Mr.. Lodge has an
swered that he7ilad- obtained copies Of
certain documents~~by permission Of
Secretary Bayard; that the publish
ing house for which he worked had
paid the clerks for services rendered
out of office hours and that he had
had nomore access to the documents
than other persons who had the Secre-
tary of States permission to copy them.
Messrs. Lodge and Adams are eminent
biographers, and the document in ques-
ton could probably be of no greater
utility than in this line of work. The
tipping" of the clerks is another mat.
ter. The inevitable tendency of such
a practice, however honestly intended,
would be toward fayoritism on the
part of the clerks, which would prac,
tically invalidate all but the favored
" permits to COPY issued by the head
of the Department.

The proposition to allow only those
persous to vote at general elections who
shall have qualified themselves BY PIE
yiously voting at primary elections is
more fanciful than practical. ltwould
amount to such curtailment Of tie
right Of sufFfageAas to make the results
of elections unsatisfactory. TheS un-
hesitating aequiescence Of the people
in the determinations of the ballot box
should not be discouraged nor jeopar-
.dlzed. To deprive an elector Of his
right toyote on an important issue be-
cause he had previously refused to ex-
ercise his privilege in determining an
affair in which he had less interest
would seem to be very unreasonable

tahlsequantity of the suffrage more dar-
gerous than the evil it is designed Il

TOPEKA, KAN, June 3o.-rhe Repub-
lican state convention was called to
order at 1880 by Chairman Buchanan,
Of the central committee.
A fight was sprung on the convention
soon afte1 its opening when nomina-
tions for temporary chairman were
called for F. B. Doves was placed in
nomination as the Smith candidate and
Judge Frank Martin as that OF the
Murdock-Morrill combination. Before
the result Of the balloting conld be
announced it was evident that Martin
had boon elected and the first victory
had been won by the anti.Smith men.
In taking the chair Judge Martin
made rousing speech enthusing the
convention to the highest pitch. The
customary committees were then ap-
pointed. The following resolution, in
troduced by Col. ]. r. Hallowell, was
adopted:
"The Republicans Of Kansas extend
to the Hon. James G. Blaine and family
their sincerest sympathy in the loss of
their loved ones and pray Divine aid in
tho hour OF their afEliction."
I. B. Dawes, the defeated Smith can
didate, was invited to address the con-
vention. and did so, scoring the Demo-
cratic and Peoples parties.
