Foraker to Be The "Great Orator" at
st, Louis.

st Louis, Mo-. June S.-Who will be the
greatest speechmaker at the Republican
National Convention.
Who is the orator upon whom the eyes Of
the nation will be centred on that momentous
day in June when the next leader of the Re
publican. party will be named?
The eXigencies of politics are MANY and
its possibilities are many, and the sensations
are not few, but in spite of these facts there
will be one supreme effort. as at every national
convention, which the ears of the nation will
be strained to hear.
The time draws on apace, and interest in
the occasion increases with every passing
day.
Soon the streets OF the city will resound to
the tread of politicians, both great and
small, and the army of visitors who will flock
to st. Louis. drawn hither by the Irresistible
maIcStrom of politics. whose surges will
spread in ripples to the uttermost bounds Ola
great country. engulfing all.
In the midst of them ali there will he IL
master spirit, Il political giant, around whose
standard the volublc and mercurial masses
will rally.
There will be lesser lights. who, like TIN"
feudal barons OF old. will have their own
insignia and their own followers. but above
them all will tower the master, the popular
hero. whose standard is destined to victory.
Whose will be the fiery and eloquent
tongue to portray his many qualities Of mind
and heart: his deeds ordnring and his service
OF his state and nation.
There will be several candidates foi the
Presidential nomination before the convention
but the chief al them all in the popular esti-
nation is Major William Mckinney of
Ohio.

Good PROSPECTS Abe ad,

There are good prospects ahead for the
Peninsula. The strawberry crop has been u
good one and good prices were secured for
unusually large one, it is expected to be n
paying one. The peach crop will be one Of
the largest i'll the history of the State, and it
is expected that prices will also be good, as
the new system of selling has been better
both for the grower and the buyer. 1t is es-
timated chat the berry crop and the peach crop
will bring at least 52,OOO,OOO into the State
and this will make money matters easy for
time at least. Last years crop saved IL num-
Der of men from failing and Il number Of
people from suffering on the Peninsula.

Mr.. j. H. MANLEY's apparent sur
render of Speaker Reeds candidacy by
admission that Mckinley would be nomi-
mated at St. Louis on the first ballot, has
been the political sensation of the week.
Mr.. Manley explains his admission by
the statement. that the National Com
mittee at its meeting on Wednesday showed
its intention to place on the temporary roll
delegates favorable to Mckinley, which in
the end would mean one hundred and
sixty additional votes for him. The
National Committee it seems has not
attempted to 20 into the merits of the cases,
and there has been no organization in the
committee in opposition to Mckinley.

HOW THEY WILL VOTE.

AS all the Probabilities now point to the
adoption by the Democ, attic National Con-
vention which will assemble at Chicago on
July 9TH OF free coinage of silver platform,
speculation is already general, as to the
course President Cleveland and his political
followers will adopt should the Chicago
Convention be captured by the advocates
of free coinage
On Monday the New York HcraM pub
lished an interesting despatch from Wash
ington to the effect that the only resource
lett Tor them will be to vote the Republi-
can Ticket, should the st. Louis Conven-
ton adopt sound money platform, as it
now seems certain it will.
The despatch referred to has these points,
a member of the Cabinet being quoted.
Mr.. Cleveland does not want a straddle
plank adopted at either st. Louis or Chicago.
He wants the issue to be sharply defined,
and for this reason he is opposed to placing
any obstacles in the way of the silver men
If it should be found that they have clear
majority at the Chicago Convention. He
wants them to 60 ahead and declare for the
free and unlimited coinage of fifty cent
dollars and other Populist schemes they
may desire to put into the platform.
Notwithstanding his radical difference OF
opinion on the tariff question with Mr..
Mckinley the President believes it is the
first duty of all Democrats who are opposed
to fifty cent dollars to support the ticket
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-06-13

that stands for the maintenance of the
national credit and the present standard
of value. He believes that the tariff ques-
ton and all other questions must be rele-
gated to the background until this over
shadowing money issue is settled and the
country has adopted sound financial sys-
TEN, without which he does not believe
it can ever have prosperity.
He has no sympathy with the men who
are trying to bring about compromise or
with those who favor bolt. for he believes
that the proper thing TO do is to draw the
issue clearly between two tickets, and that
if this is done the advocates of free silver
will be so badly defeated that the craze will
rapidly die out. 4 x x This support of
the Republican ticket by the administration
will be based, of course, upon an unequi-
vocal declaration in favor of the gold
standard by the st. Louis convention.
Although there are among the Republican
leaders many men who favor some CON
cessions to the silver men of the West and
the Northwest. there seems to be no good
reason why such conclusion should be made.
Assuming that the Republicans adopt II
platform entirely satisfactory to the gold
standard men, and that all the opposition
elements line up against them in support
of Democratic free silver ticket, the Re-
publicans would be able to carry within
nineteen of enough electoral votes to elect
their President practically without fight
and will have little difficulty in securing
the necessary majority

May Own Only Six Dogs.

The Chicago city council has passed
an ordinance limiting the number of
dogs owned by any one family to not
more than six. This number would
seem to be ample for any average
American household, especially in o
big city where the dogs can serve only
as pets yet the law, which went into
effect Immediately. has caused no end
of CONSERVATION. Investigation shows
that many families possess animals
greatly in excess of the laws limita-
ton. One has 10, another Is and an
other 20, while scores and hundreds
have q dozen aud upward.
An ancient aphorism restricts null
titude of dogs to homes of the blessed
with legions of children, but here it is
shown that the wealthy vie with the
impoverished in gathering about them
numbers OF these creatures. The
trouble is that each and every owner
processes equal attachment for each of
his "chattels," declaring that it is
impossible to part with any one OF the
pets. Every possible equivocation
and evasion is resorted to in order to
avoid enforcement of the law. while
the owners who como under the inter-
dict are vowing vengeance at the en-
suing election against those aldermen
who voted for the obnoxious measure.

found to be minus shoes. Even men
wearing heavy top shoes were not ex-

While coniectures are rife as to
what electricity and high explosives
could do in modern warfare, IL is in
teresting to glance at one marvel in
the war record of photography. A
quarter of a century ago on the 21st
of September, Paris was completely
shut off from the rest of the world,
but two days later balloon aud a
pigeon post was established, and regu-
lar balloons thereafter left the city at
intervals of from three to seven days
with letters for the provinces and
carrier pigeons for bringing back re-
plies. The return messages were
written on thin paper and enclosed in
a quill tied to the pigeons tail, but
the carrying capacity OF the birds for
such messages was very limited. Some
weeks later, Dagron, skilled in photo
micrographic work, carried out the
idea of printing a great many mes
sages upon large sheet OF paper and
then photographing the whole in
greatly reduced form upon thin film
of collodion four inches square. Each
pigeon carried eighteen Of these colo
dion pellicles, with total of more
than 80, 900 messages, the whole weigh
ing less than gramme. On arrival
in Paris the messages were enlarged
on screen, when they could be read,
and we're published in the newspapers.
During the seige sixty-four balloons
left the city, Of which seven we're lost
or captured by the Germans, while
the others carried 100000 letters
and the pigeon post returned about
about 2,5O0,000 messages. Even
money orders and drafts were trans
mitted by the interchangeable
pigeon post and we're paid in Paris

The Saturday Review says:-It
usual to compare the battles of the
last century with the battles of today,
and dilate upon the greater deadliness
Of the modern weapons and the
modern results. But the facts
are all the other way. At Fon-
tenoy, for instance, one volley of the
Coldstreams struck down 450 French
men OF the Regiment du Roi. Again,
1t the same battle, the Gardes du
Corps had not much less than five
hundred saddles emptied by single
volley, while the French Guards were
scattered by a point-blank volley from
British regiment at twenty PAGES

A SeriO. Comic Experience.

An eig6ty-sixth-year- old Romeo Of
Celina, Ohio, had a. remarkable serio.
comic experience at Muncie, Ind, q
few days ago. He was observed lott
ering about for several hours in front
of the postoffice, and he looked more
and more miserable as the minutes
went by. Finally apoliceman accosted
him, and the old man said he had
made an appointment to meet his affi-
anced bride at that place several hours
before. He explained that he had
met the young woman in Celina, aud
she had become engaged to him dur
ing her stay there. Her home was in
Muncie, and he was to meet her there
on that day to arrange for the mar
riage. He showed the letter. and the
policeman discovered that the name of
the town was Marion, not Muncie.
The aged lover was astounded at his
mistake, and scurried of, rejoicing, to
the railroad station to take the first
train for Marion and his prospective
bride. New York Sun.
