we are in favor, not of that reciprocity
accomplished by the chickering's of the
president and his proclamations, but OF
reciprocity enacted by the American
congress, that puts the American pro-
ducer in direct communication with the
markets he is obliged to seek for the ont
let of his produce.
In 80 large convention il would Oe
obviously strange ii there were not some
differences of opinion on matters OF
policy; some difference of judgment /;
some preferences as to the choice of
candidates. It is sign OF free De-
mocracy and within the limits of the
true principles Of liberty, to differ.
The Democratic party wears no collar !;
it serves no master. It ID not for me,
gentlemen, an impartial servant of you
all, to attempt to foreshadow what your
choice should be, or ought to be. In the
selection, under your own sense OF re-.
sponsibility to the people you represent
and to your country, one thing only I
venture to say: Whoever may be your
chosen leader in this campaign. no tele-
gram will flash across the sea from the
castle of an absentee tariff lord to con-
gratulate him but from the home of the
laborer, from the fireeide of the toiler,
from the hearts of all who love Justice
and do equity, who wish and intend
that our matchless heritage of freedom
shall be the commonwealth of all our
people and the common opportunity OF
all your youths, will come wishes for
success and recruits for the great Demo
cratic party.
We must put down the beast OF Sec
tionaliem and the moloch of monopoly
before we can gain peoples govern
ment, run by the peoples faithful rep
resentatives.
THE UNIT RULE ADOPTED.
Wilson's speech was received with
frequent bursts of applause.
At its close w. FL. English of Indiana
presented the report OF the committee
on rules, making the rules of the last
national Democratic convention the

unit rule heretofore in force therefore
holds in this convention.
Delegate Phelps of Missouri presented
the chairman, in behalf OF the miners OF
Missouri, q agavel of zinc, as protest
against the tariff on that metal.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON OHIO.
Roll call was then in order for the
states TO nape their national committee
men. While the roll was being made
up Campbell Of Ohio, in response to
continuous calls, made short speech,
ending with: "When November rolls
around, keep your eye on Ohio"
A committee was sent to learn when
the committee on resolutions would be
prepared to report.
An adjournment was then taken until
5 O'Clock this evening.

OF the United States, In convention assembled,
do re-aff1rm their allegiance to the principles
OF the party as formulated by Jefferson and ex-
emplifed by the long illustrious line of success

Cleveland. We believe that the public welfare
demands that these principles beapplied to the
conduct Of the federal government through the
accession to power OF our party, which advo-
Gates them; and we s0lemnly declare that the
need OF the return to these Fundamental prin-
ciples. free popular government based on home
rule and individual liberty, was never more

invited to address the convention.
When the gray-haired senator appeared
coming down the aisle, the cheer grew

Conflict.
Special to the HERALD
CHICAGO, June 22.-In Chicago an
other new factor is working it's metallic
way against Grover-the silver men.
They have joined the Hill men, and
there is great excitement in consequence.
1t is openly declared by delegates from
Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan that they
are compelled to vote for Cleveland, but
that he is the only man that cannot
carry their state. The great griet that
exists among Blaine men on account of
Harrison's nomination is not marker
to the deterioration of all who OPP
pose Cleveland. There are thou
sands of Democrats here who
declared that Cleveland cannot be
elected. There is really much alarm,
and while it still looks like Cleveland,
his nomination Is not 'scock sure" The
sub committee has decided against the
unit rule. If this is sustained you can
bet your last dollar on Grover. The
New York factions at the Leland and
Auditorium do all but fight. The blood
is internally bad.
The Boies boom is as fiat as a pan
cake, and the Iowa men are red hot.
Steve White has been appointed q
member of the committee to notify the
lucky man OF his nomination. es
There was tremendous work among
the Hill men during adjournment to
break the unit rule and stampede the
delegations, but Whitney smiles and
says, 'sIt the Hillites do this we will
break up the two-thirds rule and NOM
mate Cleveland on the first ballot"
Villas and Palmer say it is the last
kick OF the .Tammany tiger. Tammany
is trying to get Slocum or Morrison to
run, but they won't enter the list
against Cleveland. BEN G. TRUMAN.

Republican reciprocity he denounced
ca being but retaliation upon the peo-
pie for the necessities of other people.
He epitomized the Republican doctrine
OF protection by saying it meant, "Ii you
are forced by necessities or led by follies
to make bread higher and scarcer to
your people, we will make shoes and
sugar higher and scarcersto our people" !"

from them the habit Of shaving OF hair and
beard extended to the laity.
"Only the women, who, apparently, In oil
the ancient civilizations were regarded and
treated as property or as domestic animals,
always wore their own hair, and they were
not shaved, even in mourning or after death.
Shaving was universal among the men, but
the hair and beard were allowed to grow In
times of mourning. They wore wigs In
stead Of their natural hair, and they had q
wig for the chin, which could be put on and
taken off at pleasure, like the wigs they
wore on the head. Shaving began with re-
ligion, and ended with its being adopted as
necessary to cleanliness and civilization.
Yet there may be religious element in
shaving the head for the queue.
Shaving the Boy Baby.
'eThe first shaving of a Chinese boy baby
is as important an event in the East as the
christening of a young Calvinist. or the first
sent out to relations and friends and a COLA
tion provided The child washed, per-
fumed and beautifully dressed is presented
by the father TO all present, who in return
make some present in money to the youth
full heir. The father, grandfather or
priest then employs the razor and the
youngster is we'll started for both this world
and the next. In most cases the shaving is
preceded by prayer.
Zone thing should be said in favor of the
queue. It is an admirable police force. A
single officer can tie a dozen criminals to-
gether and haul them to the prison. Ninety
prefer Incarceration and
many stripes TO losing their pigtails This
fact may have been recognized by the
Manchu conquerors and induced them to
adopt their system as a convenience in sup
pressing insurrection and preserving law
and order" E NJ. l.

he continued, al hope may escape such q

a look of disgust came over his expressive
face.
Rubinstein is not very hopeful for the
future of music; he is q pessimist of the
pessfmists. He frankly says that it is his
opinion the world will for many years to

performers.

"and, as regards music, we are In O melan-
choly state. 1t is with us now as it was in
the eighteenth century with painting-an

from his chair, walked about the room nerv-
ously for a moment, looked out of the win
dow apparently deep in thought, and came
back to his chair to answer my question,
"but how9"
Easy enough" he began in fretful
voice, because there are no geniuses, aoso-
lutely none. If We have new composition,
what is itf-either popular airs arranged as
symphonies, or anything you wish, or dry
as dust musical exercise and counterpoint,
without melody, passion or beauty. All, of
course, If you argue over it, correct. but
wearisome enough to make one bite ones

seated himself with the air of man who
had had something on his mind Tor long
time and was glad the explosion was over.
Then he turned to me and asked. do you
know what the reason of it is?' He had re-
covered his good humor and a smile played
over his face. "The women. the women"
he, answered. "They are neither naive or
ingenious. but learned, questioning, reason
ing, in fact. To-day we have no Ophelias,
no Juliettes, no Gretchens, for every girl is
a counterpart and every married woman a
fugue."
"In other words, you mean that this is a
practical age and music does not flourish in

"Yes. YES. that's 1t exactly.n

SEVERAL MILLIONS SHORT.

Not Nearly Enough Money Appropriated
by the House Committee to Pay Pen
sions the Coming Year-The Senate Ex-
p-ct-d to Insist on the Shortage Being
Made Up.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The belief
prevails among many Senators that the
House has cut the appropriations for PEN
sions below the absolute requirements Of
the law, and 1t is probable the total sp-
preparation carried by the pension appro-
priation bill will be swelled by several
million dollars when it is returned to the
House by the Senate. The Commissioner,
In submitting estimates to Congress of the
amount of money that would be required to
pay pensions during the next fiscal year,
placed the sum at S147, ,000, 600.
The House Appropriations Committee, in
fixing the appropriation, cut $13, 900, 600
from this estimate, leaving the total appro-
priation $134, ,000, 900. The reason assigned
for this reduction was the belief of the COM
mittee, founded upon a careful scrutiny of
the workings of the Pension Office, that at
the end of the present fiscal year there
would remain unexpended from the general
appropriations the sum of SIS, ,000, 900. As
this sum would be available to supplement
the pensions next year, it was held that
these appropriations could we'll be reduced
by an amount nearly corresponding to the
surplus.
But that action was taken by the House
committee MANY weeks ago, and meantime
the Pension Office has been working along
with much diligence, and has paid so many
pensions that the Senators have come to the
conclusion that the surplus which will be
left at the end of the present fiscal year will
be near s5,0O0,00O, which, if true, would
oblige the Senate to add nearly SIC, 900, 900
to the total of the appropriation bill as it
came from the House.
1t is probable that with . view to fixing
the appropriation as nearly as possible at the
requirements of the Pension Bureau, the
pension appropriation bill will be allowed
TO remain unacted on in the Senate Commit
tee on Appropriations until the end of the
fiscal year is close at hand, or at least until
there is attainable more definite information
than is now at hand with reference to the
amount of the surplus.

POINTS ABOUT BURGLARY.

Tho English Rule That It Cannot Be Com
mitted Except After Sunset
Burglary cannot be committed in the
daytime. The English rule is that if there
is light enough to see the face of the in
truder there is no burglary. This, how
ever, does not include moonlight, for a

ever brightly the moon may be shining. is

certain that he has entered with the intent
to commit felony, for while tramp break
ing into house to sleep may be house.
breaker, he is not in the proper sense OF the
word burglar.
Burglary, however, may consist in break
ing out as we'll as breaking in, for one who
hides in house before nightfall to steal,
and after stealing breakes out to get away,
is just as much a burglar as he who to
effect his purpose breaks in.

NOVEL FRESH AIR SUPPLY.

A Physician's Device for Getting Oxygen
Into n Consumptive's Lungs.
A new idea has been practiced by q New
York physician in the treatment of weak
consumptives. His patients were unable to
60 out of doors during the greater part of
year on account of catching colds, and
yet they required the oxygen of the outside
air. To overcome this difficulty he had a
hole bored in the side of the house into
which he put tin tube. This tube could
be stopped up at any time by rubber stop
per- A long rubber tube was screwed upon
the head of this one in the wall, and the
mouthpiece conducted to the consumptive's
chair or couch. By breathing into this
mouthpiece the patient could take in the
outside fresh air all day long.
1t proved great success, and not only
helped the lungs of the consumptive. but
improved her general health. Such de-
vice as this could be adopted by many other
invalids who need outdoor air, but who are
unable to 60 out and get it

Tho Wedding Finger.

How many women who fondly love the
golden symbol of their wedding VOW know
why they wear it on the third finger of the
left hand? That particular digit was chosen
because it was believed by the Egyptians to
be connected by slender nerve with the
heart ITSELF And these ancient worshipers
of Isis held this finger sacred to Apollo and
the sun, and therefore gold was the metal
chosen for the ring.
