The only ''favorite SOM who seems
likely to be pushed at the Chicago con-
vention with any considerable amount of
sincerity and enthusiasm is Gov. Boies
of Iowa. Boies appears to have genu-
inc boom; the Iowa Democrats being en-
thusiastic for him and going to Chicago
in large numbers to impress his merits
upon the convention, and to shout for
him, chiefly the latter. Boies's chances,
however, of getting the nomination, even
if a dark horse is resolved upon, are not
very good. He has been too outspoken
advocate of free silver, to make a favor
able impression in the State of New
York, which must be carried by the
Democrats to elect their ticket.

1t is an edifying spectacle which the
Portland Democracy presents, handing
over the selection of an officer whose
duty it is to prosecute violators of the
law to men whose chief business is to
violate the law.

The sudden death of Mr.. Stackhouse
of South Carolina makes the sixth mem
Der of the Fifty-second Congress who
has ''joined the great majority in the
other land. Of this list Messrs. Plumb
of Kansas and Barbour of Virginia were
Senators, and Messrs. Spinola of New
York, Houk of Tennessee, Kendall of
Kentucky and Stackhouse of South
Carolina were Representatives. Messrs.
Plumb and Houk were Republicans, the
others Democrats. The mortality in the
Fifty-first and Fifty Congresses is
in excess Of previous Congress.

1t is evident to everybody that the
Democrats are shaping their campaign in
this county to suit the tastes and meet
the demands of the lowest elements in
their party. No man not acceptable to
the rrmsellers need expect to have any
chance worth talking about of securing
the nomination for sheriff.

Ex-Chairman Brice of the Democratic

Every nation in Europe but Russia has
now accepted the invitation of the United
States to the proposed international none
tary conference. This of course does
not mean necessarily that the confer
ence will accomplish anything with re-
gard to silver, but it does indicate that
European nations are becoming inter
ested in the subject and inclined to look
with more favor on the use of silver.

Of the four delegates at large to the
Democratic national convention recently
chosen in Ohio only one is an outspoken
Cleveland man, ex-Gov. Campbell, and
he was selected more on account of his
own merits than because he favored
Cleveland. Brice is non-committal,
while the other two are openly opposed
to nominating Cleveland. The candidate
who was presented toithe convention as
an avowed Cleveland man and pushed on
that issue, was the son of ex-senator
Thurman, and he was defeated.

The Census Office issues bulletin on
the assessed value of property in the
United States which enables us to gather
some idea of our total wealth, although
the best figures obtainable are based on
estimate and guesswork in great degree.
Put roundly, we would possess a thous-
and dollars each, as individuals, if there
were an equal distribution of property
to-day, for Mr.. Porter's estimate of the
actual value of the country's accumula-
tons is $63, 64s 900, 900 and the popula-
ton of the country according to the same
authority is set down at about sixty-two
millions and a half In 1890, our esti-
mated average wealth was more than one
thousand dollars, against S514 in 1850,
$3.50 in 1870 and 1910 in 1880. There is
eloquence in the bare figures that show a
doubling in our possessions in a genera
ton. From S514 apiece to more thau
$1O00is remarkable advance even for a
new country.

Official and unquestioned statistics
gathered by the Treasury department
show that nineteen factories in the coun-
try turned out for sale in the quarter end
ing with March last LAOS, O56 pounds of
tin plate, and in the nine months during
which the tin plate tariff has existed
5,240,S30 1t is expected and believed
that the three months ending July and
rounding out an exact year of the new
duties will show production of 10000
900 pounds of tin plate, or twice as much
as in the entire preceding nine months.
This is because the experimental output
of over twenty new. factories was not in
cluded in the governments figures, but
now that they have begun supplying the
market they will figure in the computa-
ton. Considering that all this has been
accomplished within year there is GER
tainly no reason for despairing of the
ultimate success of the tin plate tariff.

gentlemen could induce an attack of cata-
lepsy at WILL When he did so he assumed
every appearance of death. The pusations
of the heart became imperceptible, and it
was impossible TO discern any respiratory
action. His face became eolorless, and his
entire frame rigid, in which state he would
continue for several hours. when all the
symptoms would wear away.
A case recorded by Plutarch would seem
to support the theory that during such Pc

the Sleeper, freed from the body, wanders

Thospius, he tells US. fell from a great
height, and was picked up TO all appear

about him, but the physicians were satisfied
of the fact Of the decease.
Arrangements were made for his burial,
but on the third day after his fall he re-
yiyed, much to the CONSERVATION of his
friends. In short time it became quite
evident that the whole tenor of the man g
life had changed. Previously his character
was that of reprobate and a vicious man,
but after his insensibility he ever followed
after virtue. On being asked the reason of
the change, Ihespius related that during
his long sleep his spirit had been liberated
rom his body, and scared away TO @ strange
land. where it had joined a whole company
other spirits. His past life was disclosed
