But Little Work Outside Of Making
Permanent Organization.
CHEYENNE, Wyo.. Aug. 12.-The
Republican state convention, called to
nominate candidates for congress, the
supreme court and presidential electors
for Wyoming, convened this morning
in this city, but was forced TO adjourn
tonight without accomplishing any
work beyond making permanent or
ganization, because of the failure Of
the committee on resolutions to make
a report on the financial issues.
An interesting hitch in the proceed
ings took place early in the day, when
a delegation from Uinta county, rep
resenting the Bryan and Sewali Re-
pubEcans of that county, claimed seats
in the convention. A contesting Nc
Kinley delegation. however, was seat
ed. The leader of the Bryan delegation
protested as he left the convention in
the name of the Republicans Of his
county During the recess of the af-
ternoon district conventions were held
and the judicial candidates were NOM
mated.

was he'd, and the report of the COM

Negro National Democracy League

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-The Negro Ma
tional Democracy league convention
today effected permanent organization,
electing A. E. Manning of Indiana
president; W. H. Clarke of Illinois, sec
retary; W. E. Johnson of New York,
treasurer, and w. T. Scott of Illinois,
chairman national executive commit
tee. About eighty delegates were pres
ent.
The committee on resolutions pre-
scented a majority and a minority re-
port. The majority report says that:
I'VE, being an important factor, rep
resenting 100000 voters, feel it a duty
" cast our vot.ls against the monopo-
lies, trusts, combines and millionaires,
favored in the platform adopted by the
national Republican convention for
gold"
1t also denounces Mark Hanna and
the national committee for endeavor-
ing to force upon the common people
the issue of protective tariff, which
protects industries that discriminate
against the negro, and condemns the
OIILeu OldLeS supreme court IOr dis
eliminating against the negro race in
its decisions on the civil rights bill and
the Jim Crow case" The report ia
vors free coinage and the Chicago
platform and endorses Bryan and
SeWall.
The minority report favors the single
gold standard.
The afternoon and closing session
of the leagues convention was enliv-
ened by an acrimonious debate between
the silver and Bryan majority and the
gold-C Cleveland minority. When the
minority saw the hopelessness of fight
ing against a free silver declaration,
they tried to save the president of the
United States and his administration
from the denunciatcry language Of the
resolutions presented in the majority
report. When the vote came, however.
this report was adopted unchanged
40 to 25. The majority was denounced
by several delegates, the charge being
that the action of the resolution COM
mittee was secured by underhand
methods. controlled by Illinois and In
diana men. Richard D. Grenier, secre-
tary of the Grant Memorial association
of New York, and ex-senator John J.
Lucas of Arkansas were among the
prominent colored Republicans invited
to the Platform. The executive coEn-
mittee, one from each state, will meet
tomorrow to decide the place and time
for holding the next convention.

M'MANUS HELD.
HEARING OF THE
WELL KNOWN RAILRoADER.
Yesterday-The Prosecution Ably
Represented.

The Associated Press dispatches Of
August 9Th contained a brief note from
Jonesboro, Arkansas. to the effect that j.
McManus, train master of the cotton belt
road, had shot and instantly killed j. c.
Cornwall, a conductor on the same road
McManus is well known among railroad
men of the west. He was conductor on
the Union Pacific for several years and
was always regarded as an able railroad
man. His brother, Joe McManus, is a
member OF the Ogden police force at
present but he was formerly employed
on the Union Pacific.
A few days ago Joe McManus of Ogden
re a ,e.egram from f. S. Rawlins,
superintendent of the cotton belt line,
saying that his brother had shot a con-
ductor in self-defense and advising him
that the preliminary examination would
take place on the 18th instant, on which
occasion the best attorneys available
would be employed for his defense.
Yesterday The Herald wired the Times
OF Jonesboro asking for information con-
corning the result of the preliminary
trial. Late last night the following
special was received:
JONESBORO, Ark, Aug. 12.-The pre-
liminary trial of McManUS was held to-
day. A large number of witnesses were
examined, resulting in McManus being
remanded to jail to await the action of
the grand jury. McManus had able
counsel and the friends of Cornwall made
up a purse of $500 and employed a good
lawyer to assist the prosecuting attorney.

THE ANTS TALKED ABOUT TT.

1t is becoming the general belief
among naturaIists that all living cras,-
lures have some communication with
each other. at least TO the extent CT
making their wants, fears, etc, known
TO others of their species. A writer on
ants recently investigated the matter
as far as those interesting little insects
were concerned. He saw a drove of ants
of a small, black variety, which were
apparently moving to new quarters,
those going in a certain direction all
carrying eggs or sick and helpless rela-
tives, while those moving in the oppo-
site direction appeared to have just de-
posted their burdens and to be return
ing for another load of household eff
fects.' They were probably pretty well
alon= with their work, judging by the
leisurely way IN which they logged
along, and upon meeting they would
frequently put their heads together as
though chatting about their rev quar-
tiers or some other interesting subject.
1t being a question in the naturaJiSt'S
mind whether they we're really talking
or not, he hit on the expeddenG of muir
dering one of their number to see If the
others would rum and tell what had
happened. He says: THE eye witnesses
of the murder fastened away and laid
their heads together with every ant
they met, wheTeupon all would turn
and scamper away. No more ants passed
along that path during the day."-St-

CRuD1TY IN EUROPEAN ART.
Americans Have Satisfied the Hun
ger For a New Creation.


Is there no art in Morse's telegraph,
in FFultonfs steamboat or Colts revolver
or in an American cultivator, but only
in a morbid projection upon canvas of
Dante's insane portraitures of a sup
posed but impossible torture of lost
souls in hell or the ever recurring
monks of the wine cellar Iewdly gliding
the waiter girls that bring them their
inebriating cups? TWo-thirdS of all
the so-called art of Europe consists of
pictures that are both deniable and
untrue, designed to commemorate
events that never occurred or to pre-
serve our reverence fer ideas which
the human mind no longer seriously
entertained. American art must be
the embodiment of American ideals,
and not the reflex of medieval ideals
which no longer command the sincere
respect of even the European mind.
The art of Europe IS as crude in it's
way as that of America, because it
does not relate to ideas that are now
or ever again car be potential over the
human mind.
The most powerful and artistic fic-
ton of modern times perhaps of any
period, whether judged by the extent
to which 1t has been read, draILatiZed,
acted. initiated and translated or by
the depth of Its revolutionary effects
on society, is Uncle Toms Cabin" 1t
drew much of it's power from the
hunger the world felt for a new art
that should be American. Irving
wrote volumes on England, Spain,
MohammeGan histories, etc, all of
which are passing into waste paper
because they have not the originality
of true art, while his name lives only
in that small portion of his work
whose theme was American, viz: the
