IT would be we'll tor the residents of
our city to see that front and side
doors are securely locked and boIted
after dark. Just now the police say
that a gang of thieves are louugipg
about and watching every chance to
make haul. Hall robberies are the
most frequent in the annals of crime,
and it is an easy thing for THIEF to en-
ter quickly, grab up what he can get
and fly from the scene. Nine cases
out of ten the household will think
it is some one of the family and seldom
look to see who it really is. Proper
precautions will prevent this system of
robbery at any rate.

The New York Journal says editor
tally: lone of our esteemed contem-
poraries, In commenting on Mr. Bry-
ans return to the platform as an advO-
cate of the cause which he represented
so ably in the recent national election,
attributes bis prominence before the
people at the present hour solely 10 his
support of the free coinage of silver. 1t
is curious that any editor should fail
to see that in making such an asser-
ton he admits the vast importance of
the free silver theory and its tremend-
GUS hold upon the minds of the people.
Mr.. Bryan's personal power, which
cannot be denied even by the simple
process of attributing it TO his princi-
plesl is factor of great force; but it
certainly would not keep him alive be-
fore the public after his recent defeat if
it did not have something substantial
behind it,
When has there been post-eIection
period when the defeated candidate
dared to go at once before the people
with the defeated issues and say, DE
spite your vote, these things are worthy
of your serious consideration" 1t
would have required something more
than ordinary bOdness 10 make such
an attempt after the campaign of 1892
No Republican came forward at that
time with further argument designed
to educate the people up to a true un.
Outstanding of the issues in order that
they might vote more wisely this
year. Mr. Bryan's present attitude is
not that of a man who lacks the
strength to accept defeat with dignity.
He did that, but he is impelled to go
on with his work simply and solely 10y
the great popular force behind him.
He is working for the future, and as
tine Journal has already predicted, the
issues of the recent campaign will
surely come before the people again;
aud the next tsme the people will un-
derstand them better.

THE Republican party threatens to
retire all the greent acks in the coun-

A Stone wall Is the Thing,

In order that Spain may, in any
event, retain foothold in Cuba, FL
Concrete urges Weyler to build a
great stone wall around Havana, the
expense to be met and the work to
be done by the inhabitants OF the
city. 1t is supposed that with this
decentralization added to existing
Notifications and with a naval squad
ron in front of the city Havana would
be safe against the insurgents, who
could never capture the capital,
though they might secure possession
of all the rest of the island. The
Captain General would occupy his
palace in security; the troops would
be drilled daily in the Campo de
Marie; the ships of wsr would ride
at ease under their gallant cOmman-
ders, and the people would sit IN
peace under the flag of Spain.
We guess, however, that there
would be some trouble behind the
stone wall. As Weyler could not
collect any taxes from the Cubans
outside OF the city, the call upon
Spain for funds would be even more
aggravating than it has yet been.
AS supplies for the garrison could
not be obtained from the rural dis
tricts. provisions for both the troops
and the populace would have to be
shipped from Spain. As there would
be no trade beyond the wall, the
workpeople and business men Of the
CITY would live in idleness, bewailing
their poverty. As a quarter OF q
million people would not be likely
to stay contentedly for great while
under such circumstances, there
would probably be outbreaks to give
employment to the many and this
would be the most serious thing OF
all. A great part of the population
of Havana is in sympathy with the
revolution, and is kept in order only
bv martial law and the reign of ter
ror. 1t might be expected that, when
reduced to desperation within the
wall. they would disturb the peace
Possibly, too, the Spanish army Of
occupation could not be trusted. In
deed, there is no end to the perils
that woHld environ the stone-walled
city of Havana if the suggestion o.
Ell Concrete should be carried out
We do not believe that the revolu
tionists will offer any objection to
the building Of The stone wall. As
soon as the Spanish army is cooped
up behind it, Gomez, Maceo, and
| Garcia can control all the island out
side of it. They can collect taxes
gather in supplies, get plenty OF to
bacco, and take a rest while waiting
for Spain to evacuate a city which
costs her more than it is worth. A;
General Weyler has failed at the tro
cha, he might as well build the stone

Republican Conventions.


The convention to be held in St.
Louis to-day naturally recalls pre-
vious conventions held by the Re-
nuhlican party. With three excep-
lions the previous conventions prac-
ticallv nominated candidates .or /
President without any special con-
troversy. Those exceptions were
1876, when Hayes was selected on
the seventh ballot; 1880, Fairfield on
the thirty-sixth ballot, when the mem
orabIe 306 stood out for third nom-
ination for Grant; and 1888, when 1t
took eight ballots to decide upon
Harrison.
In 1856 John G. Fremont was
nominated without opposition; but
there we're fifteen candidates for the
Vice. Presidency, although the nom
nation of William L. Dayton was
made unanimous. Lincoln was nom
mated on the third ballot in 1860,
on the first there being twelve men
voted for, on the second eight, and
on the third only seven, William ID.
Seward being second on the list.
Hannibal Hamlin was named for
Vice-President on the second ballot
and nine candidates received votes.
Lincoln was renominated in 1864 on
the first ballot, although there were
ten candidates, but johnson was Sc
lected for second place, with three
candidates. Grant was unanimously
nominated in 1868 and Schuyler Col
ffsx got second place on the fifth bal
llot with ten other candidates in the
field. Giant was renOminated IN
