Permanent Chairman Wilson, Of
the Democratic convention, was al
most as instructive in his speech as
was Temporary Chairman Owen. He
said:
Gree government is self govern
ment. There is no self government
where the people do not control theil
own election and levy their own taxes
When either of these rights is taken
away or diminished a breach is made
not in the outer defenscs but in the
citadel of our freedom"
Those principles were advanced in
a Democratic convention. He adj
mits it is dangerous to the country
when the people do not control theil
own elections. Yet does he or any
other Democrat fear that in Republi'
can states there will not be fair
election? What state under Repub-
lican control has not joined in the
great movement to insure fair and
free elections? The insinuation that
the Republicans are not in favor OF
honest elections and the Democrats
are is quite amusing. Democratic
demands for free elections are as con-
sistent as that party's professions OF
friendship for the workingmen. His
tory endorses their claim to neither.

Divine Service by Telephone.

The mayor Of Nottingham, accom-
panied by several members of the corpo.
ration and other leading men of the town,
recently attended divine service in a
novel fashion. The meeting house was
the local exchange of the National Tele-
phone company, but the service in
which they participated was conducted
at Christ church, Birmingham, fifty
miles away, the communication being
of course by telephone.
They sat on each side of the long
table on which thirty receivers were
placed, while at the church end were
eight transmitters-two in the belfry,
two in the choir, two in the reading
desk, and two in the pulpit, switched on
and off as exigencies required-an ar
rangement which has been in operation
for some weeks for the edifcation Of
Birmingham subscribers. The Nothing
ham congregation were able to hear
the bells very distinctly, and the re-
sponses and other musical portions of
the service, while the preacher, having
a clear voice and deliberate uttcrance,
was very audible, and his sermon was
listened to with close attention. -Lon-

Owen, Ct Kentucky, the temporar

Owen, Ct Kentucky, the temporary
chairman Of the Democratic conven
ton, said:
"This again, must be a campaign Of
education. The study Of the corn.
ield,' begun in The West and the
South, must be carried into every
hamlet of the East and North. The
people must learn their true relation
to the tax gatherer.
Yes, the North and the East will
await with pleasure the education
obtainable from the South. A les.
son in suppressing Il majority of the
vote Of community and giving the
minority an unfair voice in national
affairs is the most important the
South has taught. 1t has taught
how popular government may be a
failure where the minority is vicious
and criminal enough to prevent fair
elections. Concerning the relation
to the tax gatherer, the South, in its
rebellion, made unconstitutional any
lcvying ofimport taxes for protecting
home industry, and all expenses of
government were to be paid in such G
way that the burden would be direct
ly on the people. The South evil
IDENTIFY continues to cling to its free
trade belief, and will assist in "edu-
cating' the North and East.

HARRISON ANXIOUS.

Some Doubt rs to Whether Carter Will
Take Clarkson's Job.
WASHINGTON, June 23.-The filling of
the vacancy of the Craftsmanship of the
national Republican committee, caused
by the resignation Of General Clarkson,
is giving the president considerable
trouble. It is known that the president
has expressed preference for Land
Commissioner Carter above all others
mentioned in connection with the chair
manship, and Mr.. Carter would readily
accede to the presidents wishes were it
not for the mixed condition of politics in
Montana. Mr.. Carter is not at present
a member of the national COMMITTEES and
unless some deal Is made for his repre-
sentation on the committee from Mon
tana it would be impossible for him to
receive the election of chairman. Mr..
Carter has been considering the matter
for some time and for that reason went
direct from Minneapolis to Montana to
learn the complexion of political affairs
in his state.

A Strange Animal

A useful South American animal is
the kinkajou, which, as the dictionary
will tell you, is a procyonifor1n quad.
ruped with Yrotrusile tongue and q
prehensile tail. Under ordinary circum.
stances if you were to meet kinkajou
in the street you would look for an Ital.
ian with hand organ, though I should
be inclined to look for policeman, be-
cause know how unpleasant the ami
NAL can be, particularly in the fruit
season, for the kinkajou loves fruit and
eats all he can find. The chief reason
for asserting that the kinkajou is useful
is that in addition to his fondness fol-
fruit he has great liking for insects 70,
lunch, and when tanned is a valuable
assistance in southern homes, where fly.
paper is unknown and where mosquito
net is more expensive than a silk dress.
It has always seemed strange to me
that some enterprising person has not
imported few thousand Of these insec,
eaters from South America for use in
North American summer hotels. They
could not cost more than 800 a dozen
and many people would rather pay that
amount than spend the night with q
swarm Of mosquitoes and unprovided
with means Of defense against them

There is more catarrh in this Sec
ton of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurablc. For great many years
doctors pronounced it local disease.
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by r. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in

AN INDIANS HOLIDAY.
How the Chippewas Celebrated the
Anniversary Of the Burial
Of the Hatchet.

Indian Commissioner Oar Hall
came in Tuesday morning from a
vkit to the Chippewas, says Tuesdays
Minneapolis Journal, and reported
that they have been having a gala
time on the reservation since the 14th,
the Chippewa Fourth of July. That
is the anniversary Of the day when
they burned the tc:nahawk and scalp
ing knife and took up the pillow and
hoe.
The Indians repaired to a grove
and held very good imitation of a
white.man's 4th of July picnic. The
only thing missing was the fire water.
Rev. Johnson, full blood Chippewa,
was the orator ofathe day, and it is
said, delivered very eloquent adj
dress. At noon the tables were load
ed down with the most substantial
edibles.
In the afternoon there we're foot
races, pony races, and ball game
and in the evening bowery dauce
About 100 Wahpeton and Sisseton
Siouxs joined the party and partici.
pated in the festivities. On the 18th
the Indians held some dances after
their own fashion, at which the visit
ing Sioux presented their hosts with g
number Of ponies. Thursday they
returned to their home in Dakota
Everything passed off quietly and the
white people in the vicinity enjoyed
the occasion fully as much as the In.
lians.
