seven Cities WnntIt.

The national republican committee will
meet to-day at the Arlington hotel in
Washington to determine where the next
nationa convention Of the republican
party shall be held. There is a contest
for 1t among seven cities. namely. New
York. Pittsburg. Chicago. St. Louis. Min
neapolis. salt Lake and san Francisco.
Representatives from each Of these cities
arc in Washington and the advantages
each possesses and the amount of money
each viii give for convention expenses
viii be strongly and eloquently stated.
II looks very much as If either St
Louis or Chicago would be the fortunate
city. St. Louis has a building that has
a seating capacity Of 1900 and has sub
scribed 10000 for convention expenses.
Chicago also has a big hall, and has
about $1,000 in hand for convention pur-
poses.
Both Pittsburg and San Francisco are
making great efforts to get the con-
venton. Senator Matthew Stanley
Quay is championing the cause of Pitts
burg, but his prospects for success are
not promising. Republican leaders say
they don't want their national ticket made
so near those two great monopolists, Car
negie and Frick. san Francisco is regard
ed as being too far away from the center
Of the country. 1t would take too long
for the delegates of the Atlantic coast
20 get there, and, besides. there is a diff
ference in time Of nearly three hours,
which would be against the Atlantic coast
newspapers.
st. Louis and Chicago are centrally To-
Gated cities and they have all the facil-
tiles for accommodating big conventions.
Both are likely to have extremely warm
weather about the time the convention
is held. And they have warmer weather
than any other cities of the country when
they have warm weather. But the national
committee viii hardly take that fact into
consideration in reaching a conclusion.
The convention can stand day or two
or sweltering weather. particularly if it's
expenses are paid.
Isn't this matter of paying the expenses
Of a convention likely to grow into a scan
dal? Why should a city in which a ma
uonal convention is held be expected to
raise a large sum Of money to pay the
expenses of the convention? Who con-
tribute the convention fund? We suppose
the hotel and saloon keepers do. To get
back their money the hotel keepers put
up their rates probably. and the saloon
keepers make extra efforts to dispose of
their stocks. Convention expenses should
be paid by an assessment of the delegates,
or by contributions by rich men of the
party. The offer of a hall and Of the
conventions expenses is in the nature of
a bride. 1t may be that the offer includes
free board and liquor for the national
committeeman. The offer of money to OBJ
tain the convention encourages the use
Of money in politics, and money in poll
ties means corruption. The national COM
mittee represents the party and it should
discountenance anything that tends TO
lower the level of politics.

Kept YOU'VE Cor sister's Sake.

He was downtown yesterday afternoon
and met two young ladies of his acquaint-
ance, says the Topeka State Journal.
They were accompanied by their sister,
a pretty, red-cheelSed little girl in dresses
just below her shoetops. Any one would
have fallen in love with her on the spot
if she had been old enough, he thought.
After the usual small talk there came
the usual embarrassing pause, and the
young man gazed admiringly at the little
sister.
She blushed. 1t was the right thing to
do. She looked better that way
This is a right pretty little sister you
have" said the young man.
The young thing was pleased. He could
see that she was.
Il only wish that she were year or two
younger" he continued.
''Why?" asked one of theiolder girls

young man; she's most too old to be

"Oh, no. she isn't" said one of the girls.

From Puck.
She is beautiful, stately and tall,
With reposeful and elegant airs;
You may not believe it, but yet all the
same,
She's the girl that I kissed on the stairs.
She's college-bred, witty and wise,
And red-sealed diploma she bears:
But that didn't cour when we sat. at the
dance
In the twilight that shrouded the stairs.
She is studying Latin and law;
She is tracking old crimes to their lairs-
Which is all very well while she doesn't
forget
Who kissed her. last night, on the stairs.
She's woman that's newer than new:
She everything ventures and dares:
She'd preside at club in a bicycle suit
And she'd sit out dance on the stairs

ties of the party against the sound money

The belief that the Cripple Creek gold
mines are going to prove to be extremely
rich is becoming stronger every day. Ex-
perts who visit them find the conditions
satisfactory for a steadily increasing out
put.
An expert who recently visited the mines
is ex-Gov. James b. Grant of Omaha. He
says that in his opinion Cripple Creek Will
produce more gold in the next twenty
years than any other mining camp ever
known. He says that in the last seven
teen years Leadville has produced over
100000, but that when the Cripple
Creek mines have been worked that many
years they will have produced more than
$500, 100000.
The gold is not confined to small seams
of porphyry. as at first thought. 1t is
found in great lodges. In ex-Gov. Grants
opinion Cripple Greek mines will very
soon excel the South African mines in
the value of their output.
If what is predicted of the Cripple Creek
and South African mines proves to be
true, the silver question will be settled
without the help of the silverites. 1t will
settle itself.

porte, Ind, offered to pay $4,000 to any
young man who would become her hus-
band. A young man aged 20 applied for
the job and was accepted. Thereupon
relatives of the woman began legal pro-
ceedings. protesting that she was out
of her mind. After an interesting trial,
a jury of twelve men agreed that the
protesting relatives were right. It has
not been very long since two young wom-
en- of New York bought husbands for
some millions OF dollars each. But there
was never a suggestion by their relatives
that they were out of their minds On
the other hand, the relatives seemed to
be rather proud of it. At what age does
a woman lose the right to purchase for
herself such a husband as she desires?
