1t Is said that the pull has been prac-
tically eliminated from the New York po-
lice department. 1t Is difficult to believe
that such a hcroulcan task has boen per-
formed. If New York people have any
self respect they will sustain that sort of
administration. If they don't, they de-
serve to reap the whirlwind of debauchery
and disgrace, which have made the great
metropolis In the past curse, in the

BONAPARTE AT VENICE.
A Vivid Pen Picture of the Conqueror by
Comte d'Antraigues.

In the papers of the Comte d 'Antraigues
was found pen portrait of Bonaparte as
he appeared at Venice and it will no
doubt, with due allowances, stand for the
few months later when he became the idol
of Paris. 1t was Sucy, government COM
missioner, who, overpowered by the mag
nitude of passing events, wrote in August
to friend tina. he could not enter upon
such voluminous details as would be nee
essary to depict the man, but warned his
correspondent against supposing that Bon
aparte had attained the height of his am
bition, and used the words previously
quoted in another connection, Il can oven
add that l know no other end for him but
the throne or the scaffold."
But Antraigucs was fortunately more
communicative: "Bonaparte is man of
small stature. of sickly hue, with piercing
eyes, and something in his look and mouth
which is cruel, covert and trcachcrous;
speaking little, but very talkativo when
his vanity is engaged or thwarted; of very
poor health because of violent humors in

hours every night, and takes no medicine
except when his sufferings are unendura-

and, through France, Europe. Everything
else, even in his present successes, seems
but n means to the end. Thus he steals

But he cares for it only MS q means This

Edward Porritt in an article in the Ju-
ly number of the North American Re
view, New Light OH English History"
discusses the work being done by the His
torical Manuscripts Commission. This
commission, he Gays, has not only ex-
amined all old manuscripts that can be
found In the archives of the oldest fami-
lies but have received permission to ram
sack many of these houses in their efforts
to discover historical material. The COM
mission has been very successful and some
of the work, Mr.. Porritt thinks, will have
bearing upon American history. From
Information already obtained 1t Is proven
that the United States cannot lay claim
to the original political boss" He says,
George III was as keen and as active
a political boss as any American politi-
clan. He had henchmen by his side like
the notorious John Rot inson, interested
flnanciers who, for consideration, politi-
cal and pecuniary, loaned him money to
corrupt and buy the constituencies. Of
fees great and small were give solely as
rewards for political services, men were
broke and turned out of the army and the
civil service solely on account of their
votes In and out of Parliament A subsi-
died daily press upheld the policy of the
King, and maligned the characters of men
who dared oppose him." Surely If mate
rial In this country were lacking to por-
tray the evils of political corruption the
miserable reigns of George III and his
dissolute son would be sufficient.

Ioung's and Lannon's amendments were
both defeated, and then by a practically
unanimous vote the date was fixed as
June 1G. Then came the main con-
test between the cities. There was
much excitement as the ballots
proceeded, committeeman from the
interested sections hurrying about and
seeking to effect combinations. At the
outset San Francisco secured one more
than the 10 claimed from the first. The
announcement of her lead was greeted
with enthusiasm when it reached the
outer corridors. The strength of st.
Louis was somewhat greater than was
expected, while neither Pittsburg nor
Chicago made the showing anticipated.
st. Louis gained steadily on each ballot.
San Francisco sought to meet this by
drawing the vote from Chicago, but
without avail. The first serious break
occurred when David Martin of Penn
sylvania led the Pittaburg forces toward
st. Louis. On the fourth and last formal
ballot the San Francisco forces broke
for The fist time, Michigan, Wyoming
and Connecticut going to st. Louis.
That settled it and gave st, Louis the
convention. The choice was made unan-
imous on motion Of De Young Of San
Francisco.
