democracy of Allegany county il con-
yention assembled.
To-day, while on the street sometime
before the convention met, | overheard
a gentleman offer to bet that he would
be sent as a delegate to Frederick, and
sure enough he was.
a little later CHANGED to fall in with
a couple of delegates from one of the
rural deestricts,' and one of them
had in his hand a paper with some
names on it written in ink. He said
they were the names of the gentlemen
to be sent to Baltimore, but as they
didn't exactly suit, they were gong to
try to get others. But when the con-
vention met this same ticket went
through and the men whose names
were on the paper previously shown
to me on the street, were selected as
the delegates to Baltimore.
While the ballot was being taken
happened to see, i'll the hands of the
delegates, two papers with the names
of the same men written in ink on the
paper, and this ticket was voted as the
ticket in the convention.
These delegates, moreover, did not
write the names on the paper, voted
as the ticket, while they were in the
convention, but they brought these
tickets into the convention with them,
ready to be voted when the time came
to vote.
Mr. editor, / supposed that the con
vention was a coming together of del
egates for the purpose of choosing del
egates to the State convention after
they assembled. and | did not know
that the delegates to Baltimore We're
already named and selected before the
calling together of the convention.
Now, what | would like to know is
this, namely:
If the delegates to be sent to the con-
vention are already named and select
ed before the convention meets, what
is the use Of Il convention at all?
If this be the case | see no necessity
for primaries or a convention either.
By whom are the delegates named and
selected? And how many persons
does it take to do this? Is a convention
held merely for the purpose Of adopt
ing and ratifying the action of the
party or parties selecting the dele
gates? Is this what you call the ma
chine9 Which is the machine? Is it
the party selecting the delegates or the
convention which ratified the selections

Ine IariSIan FaShIOn Journals.
La Mote dc Paris and Album DIES Nodes, so
well-known as the publications giving the
choicest Paris styles one month in advance
of all other journals, appear to be growing
just little too popular. The demand for
them is growing so rapidly that the publishers,
A. Mcdowell e Co., West 18th Street, New
York, have found it difficult to keep up with
the increasing demand each month. They
claim that the American ladies are now buy
ing their journals to such an extent that most
of the newsdealers are entirely out of them
by the fifth of the month. AS all the plates
made in Paris by the best artists, the publish
erS claim that it requires considerable time to
catch up with such an increased demand.
We agree with our lady friends that these are
superior fashion journals We suggest to
them to become regular subscribers, thus
making sure of receiving their journals each
month, and securing that valuable book,
"Dressmaking Simplilied,' that is given as
premium to each subscriber paying $3.50 in
advance for either La Mode de Paris or ilb,lnt
DIES Modes for one year. You may place the
order through your news agent, or send direct
to the publishers.

Deer Park and Oakland.

To those contemplating during the
coming summer a trip to the mountains
in search of health or pleasure, Deer
Park, on the dome of the Allegheny
Mountains, 5000 feet above the sea
level, offers such varied attra ctions as
delightful atmosphere during both
day and night, pure water, smooth,
winding roads through the mountains
and valleys. and the most picturesque
scenery in the Allegheny range. The
hotel is equipped with such adjuncts
conducive to the entertainment, pleas
ure and comfort of its guests, as
Turkish and Russian Baths, swimming
pools for both ladies and gentlemen,
billiard rooms single or en- suite, an
unexcelled cuisine and superior service.
The surrounding grounds as well as
the botel are lighted with electricity,
have cosy and shady hooks, meander
ing walks, lawn tennis courts and
grassy play grounds for children with
in full view of the inviting verandas.
Six miles distant on the same mountain
summit is Oakland, the twin resort of
Deer Park, and equally as well equipp-
ed for the entertainment and accom-
mediation of its guests. Both hotels
are upon the main line of the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad, have the
advantage of its splendid Vestibuled
Limited Express trains between the
East and are, therefore, readily Access
sible from all parts of the country.
Season Excursion tickets, good for
return passage until October 3lst, will
be placed on sale at greatly reduced

vile, Cincinnati, Columbus, Chicago

Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia
or New York, or vice versa, are good
to stop off at either Deer Park or Oak
land, and the time limit will be ex-
tended by agents at either resort upon
application.
The season at these popular resorts
commences June 22d.

Concerning an Imaginary Great Head
The Winchester (Va.) Neos, wiser

CONCERNING an mag mary "FCet' IICttu
The Winchester (Va.) Neps, wiser
than usual this week, says:
If you would take the conceit out of some
people the remains would defy Identification.
The JOURNAL met one of the gentry
Tuesday whose endowment Of self
Importance had not yet been wedged
out by the rather sluggish maui of
contact with cold, unfeeling world.
During what John Edward Julian
Buckley calls "the veal period he
was doubtless led to believe at home
that he was almost too smart to run
the risk of longevity.
SO that now he walks the streets and
leans against the walls like the clone
fisherman" whose skill the suckers do
not appreciate.
By-and-by he will partially learn
that the world has estimated him at
some notch over his true value.
And that's about all the regenera-
ton he is likely to enjoy in this vale
of tears.
For he will never be so completely
converted as that, looking at his own
mind, he will not inaudibly despise
the name of humility.

Bad Roads.

am glad to notice in the matter of
highways that country roads are at
tracing good deal of interest. Two
great magazines hayerecently printed
excellent articles on the subject, and
fact that millions of dollals annually
go toward bodybuilding that might as
well go to the bottom of Lake Victoria
Nyanza.
Our wagon roads throughout the
country are generally a disgrace to
civilization, and before we undertake
to supply Jaeger underwear and seal
skin-covered Bibles with flexible backs
to the African it might be we'll to pnt
a few dollars into the relief of CALLED
and broken-down horses that have lost
their health on our miserable high
ways.
The country system, as | recall it,
was in my bOyhood about as poor and
insufficient as it could we'll be. Each
township was DIVIDED up into road
districts and each road district was
presided over by an oyerseer of high
ways, whose duty it was to collect so
many days work or so many dollars
lIoIl ctcI tdNp CT Ill Tue ulStIlcl. vi
course no taxpayer would pay a dollar
when he could come and make mud
pies on the road all day and visit and
gossip with the neighbors and save his
dollar too. The result seemed to be
that the work done was misdirected
and generally an injury to the road.
With all due respect to the farmer, |
will state right here that he does not
know how to make roads. An all-wise
Providence never intended that he
should know. The professional road
builder, with the money used by
ignorant sapheads and self made road
architects, would in a few years make
roads in the United States oyer which
two or three times the present sized
load could be easily drawn, and the
dumb beasts of the republic would rise
up and call us blessed for doing it.
But things are looking brighter all
the time Even North Carolina is
beginning to wake up. Asheville has
sold her street bonds, and Buncombe
county fully realizes that good high
ways will make it paradise, while
poor ones will scare away everything
but the buzzards. Bill Nye.

Coal News.

The Winchester (Va.) Ne,cs says:
The proposed connection ofthe Cumberland
Valley railroad with the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal at Powell's Bend IS going to prove an
important factor in the financial success of
the latter. Heretofore all the soft coal used
by the railroad company and that supplied to
factories and dealers along its line was trans
ported by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad ny
the way of Martinsburg at heavy expense
to the consumers. This connection will give
the canal the hauling of $4,000 tons of Goa
each season. Extensive wharves Will be
built, the work on which will be commenced
at once.

were chosen at the primaries to a

the following sapient observation:
An ant is said to have the biggest brain,
according to the size of its body, of any
creature living. And yet if an ant were as

we doubt if it could run newspaper to please
everybody
The impression is different in fly
