THE CONVENTION.

The Republican national convention at
s.. Louis is the center of attraction for the
people Of the whole country. this week,
and to certain extern. of the world. The
selection OF Mckinley being practically
assured the contest centers on .Ae fnan-
eial plank of the platform. The gold nen
are in absolute control and the colored
delegates a. 4 special meeting. in order 10
assure themselves Of seats in the hand
wagon near the front, have resolved in
favor OF gold. While there does not ap-
pear 10 be any doubt tha. the convention
is strongly in favor Of gold, there does
see II to Dc considerable doubt aoou. the
delegates having the courage TO speak ont
their convictions and say 50 in 50 many
words.
From present indications the currency
plank will &c either strSddle or will be
couched in such meaningless terms as not
TO offend the post radical free silver man,
and 8. the same time permit the rankest
gold-bus TO glseiully hug it 10 his breast:
Another proposition made by delegate
was 70 leave the whole financial question
to DC settled by the party in the future.
OF course there will Dc the usual dowsry
plank on the tariff, and An etfor. made
10 diver: attention from the main issue
the currency-to tina. Of tariff, but Sena-
.or-elect Foraker, who is to Dc chairman
Of the committee on resolutions, sa-. the
Mckinley law cannot De re-enacted, As
conditions have changed and tariff laws
must change with them, which probably
means that i. is no. good policy to aivo-
cate that which the people have once sat
down OF 80 hard.
The vice-presiden,ial nomination is
also causin. considerable sparriug among
the leaders who desire to place it where
the mos. votes can Dc Influenced thereby,
and Plat. now appears 70 Dc the one who
will name the candidate. and which NAV

made this way. because many state con.
yen.i0us have declared for silver and
have then chosen gold standard men as
delegates, and not only failed but refused

lutely free to vote as they please 8.

fusing 10 ins;ruc. them virtually gave
them leave TO use their own discretion in
voting on the financial plank. As con-
sequence, the Washington delegation will

other cases like this; and 50 we have
some reason TO think iha. the party will
escape the disgrace OF going back on its
own record and repudiating its best ira
di.ions.-Chehalis Nugget.

session OF tae Fifty-irst congress, which
was the first TO exceed the billion marx.
Ii the sane proportionate increase is
made a. the mex. session its appropria-
tons will no. Be less than $50, 90 900.

must be held responsible.
But, says the McKinleyi:e. we'll cleo.
Mckinley and than there will ce revenue
enough for all these appropriations
Mckinley is no. elected yet. and the
former results from the Mckinley tariff
were no. sufficiently large to justify any
such pre:ea-ious claim. Under the Nc
Kinlsy tariff law the customs revenue
fell from 1929 900 900 in the last year
under the previous tariff law. 10 $751;
sls.53l, the receipts Of the last year of the
Mckinley law.
Grant, however, for the sake of agru-
men., tha. the revenues will be sufficient,
who pays the revenue, anyway? The
foreigner. says the pro.ectiouist. Nom

he taxes every cen. OF i. up TO Is. This
is TOO plain to need any argument. VIVA:
excuse, then, can the Republican party

Congress has adjourned and the usu,
regrets are in order The chief regre, Is
tina. it did not adjourn sooner. and tina.
it did no. accomplish more. This state
has no especial reason to complain Of the
result Of tie session. bC. the country at
large has not benefited as it should have
been. Post lntellisencer.
The verdict which mus. lie pronounced
bv all candid men upon the record OF the
presen. congress is tina; it has done little
good and no little injury. 1. has done
nothing to relieve the national embrass-
mens; i! has complicated our relations
abroad; i: has intensified Ike bitterness
OF party strife and has added fuel to the
flames OF unrest. which. like a fever, is
sapping the vitality Of the ration.-Sea..

Sarsaparilla


At wedding fezasts IN Mo-esa the bride
and bridegroom stand upon u sofa or a
box. while the guests gather around
singing and making speeches in their
honor. Rice and cotton seeds are thrown
after the departing pair. Upon her en-
trance 20 the new home the bride must
drink glass Of honey and water, that
her words may always be sweet. Often
the door sill Is smeared with honey. In
Rhodes the bridegroom. dipping his I'm
gers IN nectar and tracing cross on his
door, says 10 the bride, BE good and
sweet as honey" Then he brushes a
pomegranate and enters the house. In
some parts Of the country. when the
bridegroom enters the brides house he
breaks a stick on the doorstep TO show
his power over his future wife. In all
parts u the country the bride Is sup
posed 70 behave very humbly. At the
feast she usually sits in a corner on a
pile CT cushions. while her new lord sits
in the center Of the gathering. The
guests carry away small honey cakes or
little white satin bags Of candy, which
are really very pretty. In the island Of
Cyprus the groom IS carried TO his we'd
ding in the arms Of his friends. Il he
comes from distance, however, he en-
tiers on horseback, and the youths Of the
brides hamlet try 70 pull him from his
horse, but II IS his aim 10 ride proudly
up to her door and bear her away in
triumph
Sometimes the shepherds pretend to
carry away their brides, but the resist
ance Is only teigued. and one who has
seen all these odd things says the mock
resistance usually ends with the words.
Drive on and never mind ny tears. ~
