The First Real Demonstration.


The first real demonstration of the
convention came when Chairman Car
ter introduced Hon. Charles A. Fair
banks of Indiana as the temporary pre-
siding officer. Mr.. William H. Suth-
erald of the New York delegation
seconded Mr. Fairbanks nomination
and his selection was endorsed by the
unanimous voice of the delegates. AS
Mr.. Fairbanks stepped forward to
deliver his speech wave of applause
ran around the galleries interspersed
with staccato cheers.
Mr. Fairbanks Described.
Mr. Fairbanks is tall slender gentle
man. His features are aqueline, his
forehead high, his hair is jet black and
he wears beard He made strong
figure as he delivered his speech i'll clear
tones. His voice, however, lacked that
penetrating quality which reaches out
into spece, and he could be heard with
difficulty by those in the more remote
part of the hall, but when his words
struck responsive chord the answer
was quick and spontaneous. As he de-
clared, in his opening sentence, that the
nominees of the convention would be
triumphantly elected president and vice
president, there was tumultousS dem
onstration of approval.
The address, dealing as it did with a
review of the situation, was not de-
signed to fire the imagination. The
telling points which Mr. Fairbanks
made were, however, appreciated and
applaude& When he reached that por-
tion of his speech enunciating the Re
publican doctrine Of currency, his first
reference to the party's friendship for

At last it appears that the bone
and muscle are determined as one
man to fight for their rights which
for the last twenty-five years have
been controlled by monopolists,
trusts and boodlorp, the scourge Of
Uncle Sans dominion.
The following from tho N. Y.
Mercury hitherto strong Repub-
lican paper, tells this one story out
of thousands
William j. Bryan, who was nomi-
ated at the Chicago convention by
the Democratic party, has just been
nominated also by both the Silver
and Populist conventions This
triple nomination places Bryan,
of Nebraska, at the head Of
the greatest popular movement of
this country, 1t makes him, more
than was tho lamented Lincoln in
his day, the popular leader and rep
rssentatiye Of the great American
people. While Democrats united
with Republicans in re-eleoting Lin
coin in 1864, he still lacked the sup
port OF the South, then agitated by
the fierce passions OF war Nothing
now can retard tho onward
march of this majestic move
ment, in which North and South,
East and West are moved by the
same ardent enthusiasm"
When the Hon. W. j. Bryan is
seated in the Presidential chair Of
the White House which will happen
as suro as the sun rises and sots,
then surely will the wrongs of Hs-
wsii be righted if not before.

The Shamrock.

In Ireland only one shamrock is
known. 1t is an indigenous species
Of clover, which trails along the
ground among the grass in the
meadows. The trefoil leaves are not
more than one-fourth the size Of the
smallest common clover, and are
pure green without any of the brown
shading of white and pink clover.
The creeping stem is hard and
fbrous, and difficult to dislodge
from the earth On St. Patrick's
Day the true shamrock has to be
searched out among the grass, for,
though comparatively plentiful at
that season, it grows close to the
ground. Later it bears tiny "white
crown" blossom. The information
that "shamrakh" is the Arabic word
for trefoil may be OF service to those
interested in the origin of the Irish
race.

advisers, read the following extract
from q world. wide known journal:
The President OF the French Re-
public was placed in somewhat of q
dilemma when he was asked to pre-.
side at the uoveilng Of the statue
of Joan Of Arc at Rheims on July
18th. To have refused would have
been to set himself against the Joan
OF Arc movement, which is popular,
and to have consented must neces-
sarily have exposed him to the
taunts and jeers OF the Radicals who
forsook the ship when they found
that the Catholics were steering it
and there was no chance OF getting
the rudder out Of their hands. M.
Felix Faure has come to the cour-
ageous decision that he will go to
Rheims and do his duty to the men,
ory of Joan of Arc, Notwithstanding
all the risks to which be will be ex-
posed from the decidedly clerical
company there and which he will
hardly be able to avoid.

Longfellow's Home Life.

Miss Alice M. Longfellow has
been giving some details about the
home life of her father. She says
that the rhythmical quality of his
nature showed itself not only in his
verse, but in the order and method
of the small details of his life. For
instance, his library was very care.
fully arranged by subjects, and no
needed volume required protracted
search. He fell in love with his
books, and handled them like a
lover. Beautiful bindings were a
great delight, aud the leaves we're
cut with the utmost care and neat
ness. Letters and bills were kept in
the same orderly manner. The
latter were paid as soon as rem
dered, and he always attended
personally to those in the neighbor-
hood. An unpaid bill weighed on
him like nightmare. Letters were
answered day by day as they accu-
mulated, although it became often a
weary task. He never failed to keep
his account books carefully, and he
also used to keep the bank books of
the servants in his employment and
to help them with their accounts.

Sunday Drinking.

A very significant fact is disclosed
by recent Parliamentary paper with
regard to Sunday drinking, which,
while it throws on the teetotallers
plenty of their favorite beverage,
cold water, is in thorough accord
ance with experience elsewhere. The
paper referred to is No. @. 1888,
and it points out that it is remark
able that, whereas in Western Aus
tralia, when Sunday closing is in
existence, the percentage Of drunk
eness on Sundays has increased since
1884 from 7.89 percent to 1903 and
12.45 percent in 1892 and 1898; the
percentage of drunkenness, on week
days, with open public houses has
decreased from 4,74 percent in 1884
to 1,3S percent in 1893 1t would be
foolish to strain these figures too
much for purposes of argument,
and say that they prove that the
more you have your public. houses
open the less drunkenness there will
be; but they certainly show that
drunkenness is not 30 iusepsrably
connected with the presence Of pub,
lic-houses as extreme teetotallers
suppose. If man is determined to
get drink, he will find his opport-
unity. On the other hand, public
opinion andgthe natural growth of
habits of restraint are evidently far
more powerful agents for the pro-
motion of temperance than all tho
coercive measures that the hearts Of
fanatics ever devised The People,

1t is a Chicago story, and has a
fine moral, though it will not do to
mention names. The manager Of a

"About two weeks; special work for
the Daily Breeze" was the reply.
"Glad to know you are one of us.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

From Catholic newspaper we
clip the following item. Its thoughts
are useful alike to Protestants and
Catholics:
A recent traveller in Southern
Africa tells of community OF Bene-
dictine nuns who have undertaken
not only to build their own house,
but even to manufacture the ma
terial. These devoted women have
already made 100000 bricks with
their own hands. We notice that
Protestant contributions to mission
airy works have shrunk amazingly
since it was discovered that many of
their missionaries and their families
were living in luxurious ease on the
money. No such accusation has
ever, 80 far as we know, being
brought against Catholic mission
aries, of whom these Sisters are a
type. But, in justice to our separated
brethren, it must be said that if
these heroic nuns were their mission,
aries, they would probably be more
generously supported than they
now are.

WHAT FREE SILVER WILL DO.

The London Financial News is
without doubt one of the highest
financial authorities in the greatest
financial centre Of the world. It's
uttrrances have long come to be re-
gardod as almost oracular in fDan-
cial circles. Aud it is now exciting
all England with its alarm-cry OF
what free silver in the United
States will do. Let Americans
read and ponder this editorial from
the News.
There is plain moral in the
remark that il the United States
would venture to cut herself adrift
from Europe and take outright to
silver, she would havo all America
and Asia at her back, and the
command of the markets of both
countries. The barrier of gold
would be more fatal than any
barrier of custom house. The
bond of silver would be stronger
than any bond of free trade. There
can be no doubt about it that if
the United States were 70 adopt a
silver basis tomorrow British trade
would be ruined before the year
was ont. Every American would
be protected, not only at home, but
IN every other market. OF course
the United States would suffer TO "a
certain extent through having TO
pay her Obligations abroad in gold,
but the loss of exchange under this
head would be a mere drop IN the
bucket as compared to the profit to
be roaped from the markets of
South America and Asia, to say
nothing of Europe. The marvel
is that the United States have not
long ago seized the opportu nifty. 1t
has been piece Of luck that it has
never occurred TO tho American to
scoop us out of the worlds markets
by going on silver basis, and it
might serve as right il irritated by
the contemplate apathy of our gov
ernment toward the silver problem,
the Americans retaliated by freez
ing out gold. 1t could be easily
done.
"The trade Of the world is now
in our hands, but it Will not long
remain there il the United States
goes to bimetallic basis with free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
with the addition of silver to
the volume of money, everything
In America would take OH face:
labor and industry would gain new
life. The grip of the gold standard
on tho product of the world would
be loosened and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her mar
kets in South American, Asia and
Europe, ard American ships would
not be long in capturing the carry
ing trade of the world"
