the vote of Washington county, while
Newberry had the votes of Madison
and Reynolds.
| On the 333d ballot, Iron changed 8
votes to Goodykoontz. There was no
change in the next ballot.
At this point the Chairman suggest
ed that Vice Chairman should be
elected and Hon. Geo. L. Loomis of
Washington county was chosen.
The balloting was then resumed and
was continued throughout the entire
afternoon without material change.
Occasionally a county would leave its
candidate and scatter its vote among
other candidates, but after few ballots
! would drop back again and the old
monotonous balloting would go on, re-
lieved only by recess for few min
utes to give the delegates an oppor-
| tun1ty to discuss plans for breaking
the deadlock, and by speeches from
all the candidates.
When the convention took a recess
| for supper, there was tacit under
standing among the delegates that a
nomination would soon be made when
they met again. The delegates were
slow in assembling and it was after Z
o'clock when the convention was call
ed to order. The delegates slowly FL
ed into their seats and after few bal
lots the Crawford county delegation
threw her five votes to Goodykoontz.
Dent followed suit with her five
votes. The solitary vote of Iron coun-
ty that had been cast for Farrow re-
mained true to him. but the three votes
that had been cast for Organ went to
Goodykoontz. Madison and Reynolds
cast their 8 votes for Newberry and
Washington ended the struggle by CIV
ing her votes to her candidate, and
the long, stubborn contest was at an
end.
Loud calls for "Goodykocntz"
brought that gentleman out. In a
modest, well-timed speech he accepted
the nomination, thanked the cOnven-
ton for the honor, and pledged ideli
ty to the interests of the people.
The defeated candidates were the n
called out and in turn pledged them-
selves to support the nominee.

CONVENTION CHATS.

Marberry made model Secretary.
Delegate Gregory of Iron county
never wavered in his allegiance tc
Farrow.
'Farrow, Organ and Newberry, all
took their defeat gracefully, and like
good Democrats, pledged their sup
port to the nomin ee.
Organ made very humorous
speech after the nomination. He was
evidently in better humor than he
had been at any time since the Potosi
Convention.
Delegate London of Madison county
was one time lecturer and organizer
of the Farmers and Laborers' Union
in North Missouri. Evidently he is
not practicing what he used to preach.
One of the most delightful closing
features of the convention was the ap-
pearance of Frank H. Farris on the
stage, bearing a beautiful bouquet of
flowers and a boutoniere for each del
egate to the convention. In a happy
little speech he presented the bouquet
to Mr.. Gregory, the Iron county dele
gate who voted for Farrow, on behalf
of the ladies of Steelville, as token
of their appreciation of his fidelity to
Crawford county's candidate.
The stage OF the Opera House was
beautifully decorated with flags, bunt-
ing and flowers.

Mrs. LYNN LINTON thinks that the
peasantry of Ireland and France. where
she has observed them, are suffering
greatly from the decline of the squire
archy or landlordism. In Ireland and in
the French rural districts the people,
no longer living under the .'influence
of the better educated and more en-
lightened gentry" lose both in manners
and morals, and are also injured in
their pockets. Whole towns and viii
lagos in Ireland have been made poorer
than ever by the lack of landlords,
who, Impoverished by successive en-
actments," have been forced to shut up
their houses and leave the country.
The work that was given by the big
houses is over. The smithy's fire IS
quenched; the carriers horses are idle;
the village shops are meagre and few;
nothing is doing, and "social life is
stagnant.,. The women have scarcely
anything to do. There is no more
washing, and they are rapidly losing
their skill in sewing. The ''tyrany"
of the squire is taken off, but the peas
antry have lost valuable guide and
counselor and source of profitable activ-
ity and industry which there is little
prospect of replacing.

Senator Vest and the Scape-Goat.

Ed. Register-It seems to me that
the Rev. T. F. C. James is unduly ex-
ercised about Senator Vests Scape-
Goat quotation, and his Interpretation
of the Senator's remarks does that
gentleman an injustice.
The Senator's remarks had greater
Jews looked at the ceremony of send
ing goat into the wilderness burden
ed with the sins of the people, than
with the lesson that ceremony was in
| tended to convey. The great body of
| the Jewish nation regarded the goat
as bearing away their sins. With
this class the ceremony was a super
stition, just as the Roman ceremony of
pouring a libation was a superstition.
The educated Jew understood that the
ceremony was type of things to come
of Him who should take upon His
shoulders the sins of His nation and
leave it pure and undefled. Even
with this class there was no thought
that the ceremony had broader sig
MITIGATION; and, after all, from the
standpoint of the Christian, was only
a national superstition of the Jews.
To the educated Roman the pouring
of a libation was a reverent recogni-
tion of the bountiful giver of all good
gifts; to the ignorant Roman it was
simply ceremony, which, if not per-
formed, would bring him bad luck.
How many of the members of the
church of which the reverend gentle
man is a priest 60 through its ceremon-
les with the hope of bettering their
temporal fortunes, will never be known;
yet those who do so may be fairly
charged with superstition, and the per-
formance of superstitious acts-if it be
allowable to use the term superstition
in the sense that the Senator and the
DR.. use it.
1t is guien sabe? business to in
dulge in criticisms involving matters
of belief. To the devout Catholic the
ceremonies of the Protestant churches
are superstitious observances. The
devout Protestant regards the cere-
monies of the Catholic church in the
same light, when, as matter OF fact,
both churches embo9y members to
whom the ceremonies they practice
have no meaning, and are therefore to
them mere superstitions.
If the word ld-az- -za-zel is so alb
struse, so occult, that no Specification
can be attached to it, it would appear
to practical man that there is no oc-
casion for its use. It is littla singu-
lar that in volume intended for the
instruction and enlightenment of the
human race, that we have a piece of
ritual introduced for the purpose of
object-teaching that no one can hope
to understand. If man of the con-
ceded parts of Senator Vest could not
understand 1t in 999 years, the rest of
US who are not so gifted must despair.
In conclusion, l will state that l
believe superstition does not inhere in
any ritual, be it Christian or Pagan.
1t inheres in the mind of man, and that
Senator Vest was right when he de-
nominated the ceremony of the scape-
to the great mass Of the Jewish nation
it was nothing more. ANON.

Putnam Tho author tells us that after a
somewhat careful study Of written history and
after q prolonR Red investigation OF the accessi-
BILE facts relating to sxtant tribes representing
the various stages OF human development. she
became couSinced that the female orRaniza-
tion is in no wise inferior to that OF the male.
subsequently she undertook q systematic ex-
animation Of the data collected By naturaiists
relative to the evolution OF MANKIND from
lower orders Of life. The result OF this
inquiry was the belief that the theory Of
evolution. as enuncistsd by authoritative
sxpounders. furnishes much evidence to the
effect that the female among all gradations OF
life man included. represents q higher stage
Of DEVELOPMENT than the male. The purpose

An examination made by DIR. Jeffries Of the

while the same defect among the girls and
young women was extremely rare. less than
one e-ffteenth Of one per cent being thus al

schools Of st. Paul was that four per cent Of
all male pupils were color blind. while only

Among the data marshalled By the author
we select finally the fact that in all " oldse
tied" countries women are in excess OF men.
notwithstanding the fact that more boys are
born than girls Regarding ths excess OF male
over female births. Darwin quotes from Prof.
FAYE who says: "A still greater preponder-
ance OF males would be met with II death
struck both sexes In equal proportion in the
womb and during BIRTH But the fact Is that
for every one hundred still-born females we
have in several countries from 1874 to 144 still
born males" During the first four or FIVE
years OF life moro male children die than fe-
male; for example in England. during the
first year. 126 boys die for every 100 girls.
In France the proportion is still more uniavor-
able to the males. The excess OF females over
males is the more noteworthy because. owing to
the peculiar sexual conditions OF woman's en-
vironment during the last FIVE thousand years,
there has been developed within her sensitive
organism an alarming degree OF functional
nervousness. but the author OF this book be-
lieves that the resultant diseases and physical
