The Cleveland Convention.

The National League convention
which meets in Cleveland next week
promises to be an interesting meeting
of this important auxiliary of the
party organization: the more so this
year, as it will be the last meeting OF
this body before the opening of the
Presidential campaign of 1896. The
delegates composing the national con-
vention are made up of the hustlers OF
the party, the men who plan and exc
cute campaigns and win victories.
The League for years has been an
important factor in the work of organ
ization. 1t has been content to follow
out the plan of action agreed upon by
the authorized'machinery of the party.
On the platforms adopted by State and
national conventions it has fought
the battle of the party, and much OF
the success which the Republicans OF
the country has enjoyed in recent
years is due to the labOrs of the
League. 1t will be remembered at the
Louisville convention two years ago
an effort was made by some of the
members to make the League the
spokesman of the party. 1t failed, be-
cause a majority of the delegates be-
lieved the province of the League was
to execute the plans adopted by the
regular party organizations.
1t is understood an effort will be
made at Cleveland mex week to have
the National League take advanced
grounds on the money question to
set the space for the party mex year.
If this is attempted. it should fail. as
the League clearly has no right to
promulgate a declaration fof p%rinci-
pies. 1t has no right to mark out a
course for the party.
Neither should the convention be
used to advance the interests of any
one candidate for President. Coming
upon the eve of the great national
contest. it is but natural that on the
part of some of the delegates an effort
will be made to do this. The level
headed members must see that this is
not done.
In many respects the Cleveland con-
vention will be an important one.
Properly conducted. it will prove of
great benefit to the party. Its pro-
cccdings should be marked with con
servatism. and it~s,aggressivc. fighting
characteristics should he held in check
until next year.

The Cape City Spice Box is no
more. 1t died peacefully and without

by and and with aching hearts and
hushed voices saw it breath its last.
1t was a young and tender child from
its birth. 1t was ar offspring of puny
parents. and from its very birth the
best of newspaper physicians predict
ed that it was not long for this world.
The prediction came true. The Spice
Box is no more. The editor had a
dentist to pull a wisdom tooth and
then he left town. He returned to
Scott county to look for a job picking
water melons. He says Cape Girar-
deau is a big city, but not big enough
for two newspapers.
The Spice Box is about the fortieth
newspaper that has been buried in the
newspaper grave yard inthis city in the
last twenty years. The DEMoCRATex-

There is a clergyman in Philadel-
phia so popular that his congregation
has out grown even the large church
where he breaches. and he has conse-
quently adopted the device of connect
ing three halls by telephone. so that
three congregations can hear him at
once. This is another illustration of
the fact which some of the ministerial
brethren do not seem to recognize
that people will go to church when
they get good preaching.

numbers about 1.500 uniformed boys. In
New York and Brooklyn the movement is
making rapid strides. The American
Guard has been formed from ne battal-
ions of the public schools, and each bat
talon has its number and place in line.
As in Boston, they turn out on special
holidays, and have been the feature of
more than one big parade of real soldiers.
In Washington, Cincinnati, Columbus,
Des Moines, Omaha and scores of other
smaller cities and towns the idea is max
ing Roadway.
That military drill is popular among the
schoolboys is evident to anyone who sees
the lads at drill. They willingly give up
part Of their play hour TO take part in it
and the competition for officers positions
is keen. One has but TO look ut the air Of
pride with which these youngsters wear
their neat little uniforms to appreciate
their feelings. In most Of the schools only
the larger companies are uniformed and
equipped, and there are one or two com
panies composed of the smaller and uE-
trained boys, which correspond to a Grin
squad, from which the ranks of the regu-
lar companies are recruited.

YOUTHFUL SOLDIERS.
Growing Movement to Establish Mill
itary Drill in the Schools.

The movement lately inaugurated to
train boys in the public schools in military
tactics is meeting with great success. The
boys have named themselves tie Ameri
can Guard, and those of New York and
Brooklyn on Memorial Day paraded to
the number of 10000.
All over the country the military drill
movement is meeting with favor and the
schools in most OF the cities, as well as in
many of the smaller towns are getting
into line in favor of the innovation. The
question has become one of national i'm
portance, and has already been taken up
in Congress, as well as in the Legislatures
of most Of the States. The Grand Army
of the Republic is really behind the move
ment to give some sOldierly discipline TO
the lads in the public schools throughout
the country.
Although the national movement Is
new one, military instruction in the pub
lie schools has long been practiced in
some cities. In Boston the system has
been thoroughly worked out, probably,

Black HIiuOrcaS,

This breed of poultry is rapidly grow

poultry culture, as their good qualities
are better known. They are of Span
iSh origin, and have been bred for many
years In England. They are the largest

and size of the eggs, says Ohio Farmer.
They combine two points that render
them especially desirable, Xiz.: utility
and beauty. They have large single
combs, red face with pure white ear
lobes, lustrous black plumage, and are
proud and majestic.
The American standard weight for
Black Minorca cocks is eight pounds,
and for hens six and a-half pounds.
They are very hardy, mature early, pull

and continue through the winter. Their
ability to fill the egg basket is recog-
nized not only by the fancier, but by
the practical farmer.

Address to the People.

The following address was Dromul-
gated by the Salt Lake City silver con-
ference:
"TO the People of the United States:
We desire to say that the people whom
we represent are not an aggregation Of
thieves seeking to swindle honest cred
itors with JO-ccnt dollars. There are
no more patriotic citizens of the Ameri-
can republic than those active, earnest,
energetic men and women who have
left the comforts Of their Eastern
homes to build the highways of nation
nj progress in the far West. If they
believed that the complete restoration
of silver would operate an injury to
the country as whole or an injustice
to any class, regardless of it's local eff
feet In this Western region, they would
mt once and forever abandon the de-
mand.
"The greatest good to the greatest
number is their motto, and 1T is in this
spirit that they, irrespective Of party
affiliations, present themselves almost
as a unit demanding the free coinage
of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to
1, with full legal tender functions ac-
corded to each and no discrimination
against either. 1t is not as silver min
ers but citizens of the republic, mind
ful of its every interest, that we take

Bruises and Wounds of Trees.

Nothing is better for covering the
bruises on trees than oil shellac with,
perhaps, little flower Of sulphur and
q few drops of carbolic acid, which last
ingredient should be used very sparing-
ly. The mixture can be applied with
paint brush. For the exclusion of the
air from wounds, it is suggested that a
grating wax, made Of four parts OF
rosin, two parts Of beeswaX and one Of
tallow, melted together, poured int
water and Immediately worked and
made up into half-pound rolls, Is con-
venient to have ready for use. Held
in the hands so that it is softened, Il
small lump of it may be spread over
Il wound, and it will remain for some
time and keep out air and germs of
disease. If the wound is large the APP
plication may need to be repeated
