dress if you wish to know what is going on
at all the resorts.

Democratic camp for man, measure or
for anything else.
It will be well enough to read about st.
Louis and Sacramento this week, but you

The Democrats might as well fight to

the present occasion to enjoy his summer
holiday, and turn the Cuban question over
to General Lee to settle.
Adlai Stevenson would doubtless be very
glad to make himself heard just now if he
only knew of any issue on which it were
safer to talk than to be silent.
The terms of twenty-nine Senators will
expire next March, and after that we may
look for Republican Senate that will do
business instead of obstructing it.
In New York William Waldorf Astor
looked down upon Boss Croker, but in
England, since the Prince of Wales has re-
ceiYed both, they are on the dead level.
In the rising tide of silver monometal-
lism at Chicago the gold Democrats are
hardly likely to be given even splinter
of plank to hold on to during the food.
One of the epochal events of this cam
paign may be the moving of the National
headquarters of political parties from New
York to Chicago. The country is moving
west.
To st. Louis the cyclone was a great dis
aster, and a short convention will disap-
point her hopes, but what grinds her most
is the fact that her baseball team is in col
lapse.
The st. Louis Convention will cast that
of Sacramento in the shade, but all the
same the delegates to the latter will be
just as hot as if they were in the full blaze
of the sun.

said he has no desire "to shine In an orna-
mental capacity, it is probable he is satis-

delegates from the West will go to Chicago
for Boies, those from the South for Steven
son, and as for those from the North and
the East they may go to the convention,
but they won't be in it.
If there be any truth in the story that
flower has been discovered in South Amer

noon and blue at night, we may expect to
have it cultivated in this country before
