ICED by the last session of congress,
We're opened by the navy department
today. The act made provision for
three thirty-knot boats and as many
smaller boats, not to exceed ten, as
could be obtained for 100000. In all
eleven firms submitted proposals, but
Notwithstanding the fact that congress
specially provided for favorable con-
slderation of bids from the Gulf coast,
Mississippi and Missouri valley. not a
single proposal came from either of
those sections of the country. The
northwest coast, however, was well
represented. The bidding was very
complicated, owing to the fact that
many bidders made combination pro-
posals for one to three boats. the great

the department experts TO pick out the
lowest and most desirable bids. Mean

Cold Churches and Colds

Cold churches are often the cause Of
serious colds and catarrhs. While this
fact should not keep persons from
church, il ought to teach the sections
how to heat large building properly.
In the cOldest weather, and especially
when it is damp, the stone or brick
walls of a large building become
thoroughly chilled, aud it takes the
heat long time to penetrate the
whole building and counteract this
chill.
g. Usually the fire for Sunday is begun
late Friday night, or perhaps not until
Saturday, and while the furnaces or
heating apparatus may give forth an
abundance of heat, still the warm
air has not been in the building long
enough to permeate every corner and
take off the chill, and it is often notice
able that while the church seems to be
warm, judging by the thermometer,
there is a cold feeling in the air.
If fires in such large buildings were
started early in the week and kept up
at moderate rate for four days, very
little fire on sunday would keep
the building at a pleasant habitable
temperature. a small fire for four or
five days heats better and with just as
little expease as roaring blaze kindled
on Saturday. Church committees often
find fault with the heating apparatus
on a cold day when the manner and
the time of building the fires are at
fault. Then, too, a gradual heating of
such a building allows of better ventil-
alton than the sudden warming up
the day before the buildi ng is used

A Good Story on Tillman.

al heard good story on Ben Till
man the other day." said a railroad
man, (which have never heard told
down this way before. When Till
man was making his TRADE against
Cleveland in the Senate, the story goes,
he noticed an old woman in the gal-
lery who seemed eonvulsed with grief.
The further his speech progressed the
more intense seemed the old lady's
sobbing. The South Carolina Senator
was curious to know WIZ she wept SO
bitterly, and at the conclusion of his
fierce harangue he sought her out in
the gallery and asked the cause.
"'Well, I'll tell you, sir, she re-
piled between her sobs; last month q
heavy most ruined my garden, and on
ly two weeks ago my husband died.
Then my little jackass Ned, who used
to wake up mornings a-brayin', took
sick an died, too, and when I heard
you a-talkin' it reminded me so much
of him that jest couldn't keep from
cryin'. '"-AtlantaJ Journal.

whether IL was a contribution made in
the stress of logical discussion, l am
utterly unable to say. But it sheds a
food of light upon the whole purpose
underlying this Populist agitation.
Wage earners, Mr.. Bryan says, know
that while gold standard raises the
purchasing power of the dollar it also
makes it more difficult to obtain pos
session Of the dollar. They know the
employment is less permanent, loss of
work more probable and re-employ-
ment less certain. If that means any
thing it means that "a cheap dollar
would give him more employment,
more frequent employment, more
work and chance to get re-employ-
ment after he was discharged. Laugh
ter Well, now, if that means any
thing in the world to sane man il
means that If the laborer is willing to
have his wages cut down he will get
more work.

acting unimportant business, usually ad-

committee on organization, named by the
state delegations, reports the names of the
permanent officers of the convention.
Permanent Organization.
On the second day the temporary chair
man resigns his office to the permanent
chairman. 1t Is to be hoped that the chair
man of the ST. Louis convention, unlike
the one who presided ut Minneapolis, will
be able to make his voice heard beyond the
first row of delegates.
The rules to govern the convention are
adopted, and chief among them is the pro-
vision that resolutions must be referred
unread to the committee on resolutions
Then the committee on credentials re-
ports on the contested cases, and the con-
vention, as rule, votes on them In lump,
lndorsing the action of the committee.
The committee on resolutions is the last
TO report. Occasions have arisen where IL
did not make its report until the candidate
had been named. Usually though, it re-
ports before the nominations are made and
Its work is second in Importance only to
the nominating of the candidates 1t
should be more important even, for if the
party is greater than it's candidate the dec
laration of the party's principles should be
more important than its nominee
Curiously enough, there is more anxiety
over the work of this committee on resolu-
lions this year than there is over the choos-
ing of the candidate. The business men of
the country are standing on tiptoe waiting
for the Republican convention to declare
for "sound money" or to straddle the cur
rency question. There is no doubt the con-
vention will not declare for free coinage of
silver, but just how great sop it will
throw out to the free silver delegates is
something which interests the whole coun-
try, and the commercial and financial in
terests of the country especially.
Usually the report of the committee on
resolutions is accepted without debate, but
1t has been amended in the convention
within the memory of the present genera
ton of politicians, and in the comins con-
vention it is very likely at least to be de-
bated.
When the platform has been adopted
comes the time for choosing q candidate
