lessons to the people of today and TO the
generations that are to come. How best
that this may be done is now what the
society is considering. Probably the
favorite scheme Is to erect a museum in
Washington. which shall at once be a
repository for Evolutionary relics and
a library of hooks and papers throwing
any light on that shining period in
American history. Here is a plan sug-
gested by Mr. Edward Eggleston, the
novelist and historian. who has himself
been a great collector of Americana, and
is learned in all that pertains TO the
formative epoch in the western re-
public. He says, in letter to Mrs.
Cabell, vice president general:
Perhaps the only thing can do to
show my sympathy with the laudahle
aims of the Daughters of the American
Revolution is to suggest that there is
one part of the field of American history
of the greatest Importance that has re-
ceived but scant attention, and that is a
peculiarly appropriate field for the re-
searches of members of your society.

Interest N the society known as the
Daughters CT the American Revolution
increases as its aim and scope are better
understood. These are very concisely
set forth III the following sections from
the second article of the constitution,
adopted when the society was organized
at Washington some two years and a
half ago:
ITO perpetuate the memory and the
spirit of the men and women who
achieved American independence by
the acquisition and protection of his
torical spots and the erection of monu-
ments; by the encouragement of his
tOrical research in relation to the Revo-
luton and the publication of its results;
by the preservation of documents and
relics and of the records of the indi-
vidual services Of Revolutionary SOL
diers and patriots, and by the promo
ton Of celebrations of all patriotic an
niversaries.
ITO carry out the injunction of Wash
:ngton in his farewell address to the
American people, to promote, as an OBJ

nearly so narrow as in that almost mort
bund organization, the Society of the
Cincinnati, to which are eligible only
the eldest SONS in the male line of officers
of the Revolutionary army.
To the Daughters any woman of good
character can join who is descended
either directly or collaterally from a
patriot of the Revolutionary period. If
the ancestor fought IN the war or gave
help and comfort to the combatants that
is enough to entitle woman to mem
bership. The antecedents of each can
didate must be traced back accurately
and supported by an affidavit of its cor
rectness. This, to be sure, is not always
easy to do, for some Americans have not
been particular in keeping their family
records An instance of this happened
last fall in the New York chapter. A
lady joined the society. In little while
there was an intimation from some
"dear friend" that she had gained ad-
mission by false pretense. Here was a
great to do. Lawyers were hired and
psychologists employed. The Latter

LOOK OUT FOR WEAVER.

The man who neglects to read the
political signs of the times, says the
Sacramento Bee, and who contents
himself with shutting one eye and
glancing at the old road boards, can
certainly see nothing of the stupen-
dous changes in parties going on all
around. Those who perceive and
keep silence thereon, letting the
party to which they profess to belong
snore on in fancied security, are no
thing more than sunshine friends, who
will be eagar to rush under cover
when the storms set in. The Bee
believes in pointing out dangers, not
in concealing them. The danger to
both the old parties is travelling west
ward now, making great noise ard
chatter on its way, and its name Is
James b. Weaver. 1t is not the man
himself who is so dangerous, were 1t
not for the propelling force which IS
behind him. He is the batterlng
ram, manned by view, a vigorous,
a growing party, and willing hands
are dashing him with tremendous
force against the old party walls.
Let the Republicans make no
mistake about the new engine of pol-
itical warfare. Let them not fancy
that it is mere toy, swinging car
lessly back and forth, and only
striking the time honored barriers
with insignificant taps. Watch the
thousands who have rallied to help
him in his assaults throughout Col
orado. Wait until he gets in Ne
vada and sees the dents he will make
in the old political creeds there, par
ticularly in the Republican party,
Make no mistake as to his strength
in Oregon. for thousands there are
ready to help him IN his assaults
Do not delude yourself int the be-
lief that he will have no followers
here in Sacramento, The grip of the
Republican party is loosening on the
workers, and many of the toilers in
the great railroad shops are more
than likely to cast their political for
tunes this year with the new orgaGi-
zation.
The cause of it is not far to seek.
None could be so blind as not to see
the hand of monopoly all over the

nations were especially pleasing to
to the bankers was the last straw to
break the faith in the party of men
who had pinned their trust to 1t
through thick and thin.

San Francisco in New York.

People on this coast are led to be-
lieve that the movements of the San
Francisco colony in New York are
matters of great Importance to the
inhabitants of Gotham. This idea
is carried out by the Chronicle and
Examiner, keeping regular CORE
spondents in New York, who wire
long strings of slush weekly regard
ing the ext alifornians who reside
on Manhattan Island.
Now as matter of fact the people
of New York are not only perfectly
indifferent to the movement of the
San francisco colony in the East,
but hardly know of their existence.
While their wealth gives them
great prestige in San Francisco, they
are perfect nonentities when they get
east of the Missouri river.
Even for the notoriety. they get
in the San Francisco papers they
have to pay literally. Here is a
specimen of the stuff under discus
sion:
French poodles seem to be the
popular pet of the moment, and Mrs
Herman Oelrichs and her sister, Miss
Fair, were greatly distressed when
theirs was run over and killed II

The next thing we will hear of vii
be the sort of grub these people feed
their cuts on, or some such foolish
ness.

nation is that the weak minded peo'

Mckinley Chairman.
A SIGNAL VICTORY FOR THE HAIR
RIsON FACTION ON THE START. !.
)
There Was Little Issue Made on the
Selection OF Chairman, but Mekin-
ley is a Strong Harrison Man.

MINNEAPOLIS, June S.-The Re-
publican National Convention was
called to order at IL :45 O'Clock this
morning. The committee on creden-
tails has not yet been passed on.
The chairman of the committee on
platform says he will not report I'M
til late tonight. At Ills Gov. Nc
Kinley, of Ohio, was made perma-
nent chairman. There was deafen-
ing applause when he took his seat.
At II so O'Clock the convention ad-
iourned until II o'clock tomorrow.
The selection yesterday of j. s.
Fassett for temporary chairman was
given out as a victim for Blaine.
Thus far the honors are about equal
in the convention possibly a bit in IA
vor ofthe Harrison side. The Blaine
men claim the e~x-Secretary will be
nominated on the first ballot, while
the Harrison men are not so loud
mouthed.
There will be three candidates for
mally placed in nomination before
the c-onvention-Harrison, Blaine and
Alger-and it is possible that some
other men will receive scattering
votes. Several delegates have already
avowed their intention to support
Mckinley, one or two will probably
vote for Sherman, and Rusk, ALI
son, Hawley and Reed may posi-
bly, have a few votes each. If this
should be the case, Ayers follow
ing, with these scattering votes, viii
probably be sufficient to hold the
balance of power and prevent a nomi-
nation on the first ballot.
There is little enthusiasm among
the crowds to-day, and Blaineism is
not so much on the boom as yester-
day.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
GREENvILLE, MISS, June 81
was reading this morning in your
paper in regard to the rains that
had fallen in your part of the coun-
try and hat farmers were late in
planting. After all, they are in bet
ter shape than we are in the Missis-
sippi delta; for this is a country
that the season comes early in and
therefore crops are all planted early.
Only think of it-there are thous-
ands of people here who are suffer
ing from the effects of the over
flowed country. All of the State OF
Louisiana and the greater part OF
Arkansas are overlooked. The wa
ter over the country is from 3 to 10
feet deep, houses are floating and
people being rescued. Being a lit
tie behind with the crop is better
than to have it planted and up and
growing nicely and then to have the
water destroy it. There has been
many a thousand dollars lost in
this disaster in the delta country;
SO my advice to you good northern
people is to stay out of the delta
country, if you don't want to be
washed away by the Mississippi
river. Respectfully,
j. G. Form.
