mighty interesting to catch him trying to
do it.
With the elimination of Senator White
from the field of action in any capacity
other than that OF dark horse the situa-
tion stands precisely as was stated in The
CALL a week ago; that is to say, Bland of
Missouri in the lead, with Boies a close
second and the rest scattering. AL the
convolutions of political workings and
schemes during ten days of the most
active plotting and planning have failed
to change the status.
l asked Congressman Mcguire of Cali
fornia how the delegation stood for Presi-
dent, and he replied that if vote were to
be taken now Bland would be in the lead,
with the remainder of the delegation di-
vided and with no particular choice.
James V. Coleman was asked the same
question, and he replied that the only
members of the delegation who were
working for Bland were Congressman
Mcguire and Caminetti; that the rest of
the delegation had no candidate at all.
''By the way" asked Mr.. Coleman, 'who
has put up Governor Altgeld as the man
ager of this convention? BY what authority

f. E. Leak, Commissioner of Public
Works for California, said that he was a
gold man, but that while he had not been
instructed by the district convention
which had selected him as delegate, he
felt bound in honor by the platform
adopted by the State Convention.

summary on the eve of the Demo-
cratic National Convention witnesses no
particular change in the situation. To-
night the silver men voted unanimously
for Daniel of Virginia as temporary
chairman. Senator White of California
is strongly supported for permanent
chairman, and his election is almost
certain.
The silver men will give Hill and his
followers no quarter. They Will dOmi-
nate the convention without regard to
what the gold element may do.
Bland still leads. Colorado is waver-
ing between Teller and Bland. Should
the former be named for the Presidency
the Colorado delegation will probably
support him, otherwise it will be Bland.

This looks simple enough, but It took
a great many experiments to arrive at
this point. DR.. Waller first tried to
close a circuit by bringing both feet of
a man in connection with the wires.

These failures established another

Dyspepsia Causes badness.

Dyspepsia is not only one of the most
ommon diseases, but IL Is also one OF
the most common causes for the loss
OF hair. Nature Is very careful TO
guard and protect and supply the vital
organs with the proper amount of nutri-
ment, but when she cannot command n
sufficient quantity Of blood supply for
all the organs, she very naturally cuts
of the supply of parts the least vital,
like the hair and nails, so that the most
important organs, like the heart, lungs,
etc, may be better nourishel and per-
form their work more satisfactorily. In
cases OF severe fevers one can readily
see how nature economies. II n

or that some uneducated men have sue
ceeded. Education will help a man, but
II VIII never make one. When it can
be proved that a majority Of educated
men upon the farm are failures and q
majority OFT uneducated successful,
we shall all begin to question the pro-
priety and value of education for the
farmers profession. But until that is
proved we shall believe that the farm
ers business stands upon the same
basis That supports all other kinds of
business. that the general education
which Is useful to the doctor, the law

is just as valuable to the man who tills
the soil. and that professional training
in schools of agriculture will have the
worth upon the farm that the knowl-

has In practice before the courts.
