POLITICS CREPT IN.
Creating Much Discord in the Build
ing and Loan League at Detroit

Detroit, July 29.-Politics last night
cast q ripple of diseord over the annual
convention of the United States league
of local building and loan associations
The disturbing element crept in through
what was considered an injudcious
reference made in the morning in Presi-
dent Browns address, in which the presi-
dent inferred that the low tariffs and free
trade, were a decided injury to the coun-
try'S business. Remarks of this char
aeter did not take well with several dele
gates of the Democratic faith. They said
nothing about it during the day sessions,
but shortly after the evening session had
begun. the following resolution Of
fered by Delegate E. E. Peck of Jackson:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
league that all matters relating to either
religion or politics be eliminated from
consideration, either in debate or papers
which may be read and that the secre-
tary is hereby requested not to print any
thing whatever of a political or sectarian
nature as part of the proceedings of this
league"
There was a warm debate over a mo-
tion to refer the resolution to the commit
tee on resolutions John F. McGinnis of
Alton, ILL.,, said the idea of bringing in
politics ought to be condemned by every
honest man present, whether he believed
in protection, free trade, gold dollars Or
paper dollars He protested strongly "in
the name of the great west" 1t was
wrong for the highest officer the hum
blest member to bring politics into the
convention.
An amendment was offered to send the
resolution to the committee with in
structions to report the same at once, but
this was strongly opposed.
A resolution offered by Judge Sey-
mour Dexter of New York, to table the
resolution and the pending motion there-
on.
More debate ensued, in which the intro
duction of political sentiments into papers
read before the league was roundly con-
demned.
I. N. c. Shumway of Taylorvil1e, Ill.
who had advocated the resolution, con-
sented to the withdrawal if the political
remarks it referred to were considered as
not endorsed by the convention.
The author of the resolution said only
yesterday President Brown had come be-
fore the Michigan league with a tale of
woe about lack of legislation for building
associations. Exhibitions of partisanship
would not aid in procuring favorable
legislation for the association. His OBJ
ject was, without aiming to hurt any
ones feelings, to have this sort of thing
eliminated.
President Brown at this point ruled the
di<cu @sion and the resolution out of or
der He said that the secretary could not
properly be authorized 70 eliminate pa
pers read. He had allowed the discus
sion because he sLpp 'sed that the resolu-
ton was aimed at remarks he himself
had made. a motion to table the reso-
luton then prevailed and the discussion
thereon was ordered expurgated from the
records, which closed the incident.

APPOINTS HIS COUSIN.
The President Decides on Cousin
George for Postmaster at
Moline, Ill

Washington, July 29.-George H. Nc
Kinley, a cousin of the president, VIII
be appointed postmaster at Moline, III.
The presidents decision to appoint his
relative is doubtless due to the latter s
manly course in his candidacy The
first knowledge which the president had
of his cousins aspiration for the place
came from Representative Prince. Mr..
Prince called at the White House for
the express purpose of seeing the presi-
dent about the Moline office. Moline is
one of the most important towns in
Princes district, and he has been in a
quandary over the postmastership: .
were we'll backed. w. F. Eastman, ed
itor of the leading paper, was backed
by the business and professional men.
General William Clendenning was sup
ported by the old soldiers, and George
H. Mckinley, the presidents cousin. has
the hearty Endorsement of the 1aboring g
men. Mr.. Mckinley is the superintend-
is very popular with the laboring class
es. He is a first cousin of the presi-
dent.
Mr.. Prince explained the situation to
the president today, and, when Mr.. Nc
Kinley heard of his cousins candidacy
he asked Mr.. Prince for full particu-
lars. Mr.. Prince told him that Mr. Nc
Kinley had given it out that he would
stand for the Office on his merits and
would make no claim on the grounds of
his relationship to the president. The
president was much pleased over the
course taken by his relative and in
formed Mr.. Prince that, if all things
We're equal, he would like to appoint
his cousin. Mr.. Prince said that the
appointment would be entirely satisfac-
tory to him. The Moline Office pays
81 700 a year.

ELLIS GETS HIS CHANGE.
He slammed" the Engineers on the
Central Branch.

At Beloit the other day Judge A. H.
Ellis, standing candidate for congress
from the Sixth district, was talking to
Reese. the Union Pacific agent there,
at the Avenue House, when Joe Cadden,
the engineer on the Solomon Valley
branch, came up.
Ellis is a pompous Individual. and as
Cadden approached he turned his back
to him and said:
''Reece, it's queer the Union Pacific
can furnish us some good engineers on
this road. They have them on the main
line and I don't see why we can't get a
man who can make a good run on the
Valley road
Cadden overheard the remark and he
said in his deliberate way, Judge, if
you had made as good a run in your
race last fall as I make every day on
the Valley train, you would be a great
deal better off than you are today
And the blow almost killed father"

A Frozen Snake for a Cane,

Muncie Qnd.) correspondent of The
Indianapolis News: What was intend
ed for joke came near ending seri-
ously yesterday afternoon for DR.. Or
vile L. Boor, a veterinary surgeon, who
is treasurer of the Indiana Veterinary
Graduates Association. During a Sc
we're cold spell, several days ago, he
went to the home of Robert A.Johnson,
in the country, on professional call.
While there Mr.. Johnson found in the
snow black snake frozen stiff and ap-
parently lifeless. He took the reptile
to DR.. Boor and said: Here is a nice
walnut cane, carved in the shape Of a
snake" DR.. Boor took it gratefully
and put in his buggy without exam
lining it closely, as he was in hurry.
He put up his horse and buggy in Nc
Lain's livery stable, and thought no
more of his cane until yesterday
when he went to his buggy and found
a blacksnake coiled on the seat, very
angry at being disturbed. His snake
ship had thawed out in The warm liv-
cry stable, and was apparently as much
alive as he ever was. DR.. Boor was
frightened and fled precipitately. The
snake saw his opportunity and escaped.

Bank of England Forgery.

The clever forgery of notes of the
Bank of England, which recently came
to light quite by accident, has created
a sensation from the fact that the
banks own paper, with the proper
water mark, was reproduced. This
had never before been done. The
forged notes were absolutely perfect,
excepting that the secret cipher marks
were lacking. The discovery that the
notes were not genuine was made by
a cashier who happened to have rea-
son formally to check the validity Of
the notes by reference to the cipher
books. About 100000 of the forged
notes have turned up SO far, and it has
been discovered that they were all put
in circulation in one day by being
changed simultaneously at twenty-five
different exchanges in Paris. The gang
is known to, be large one, but so far
the police have been unable to trace its
members.

much of this little germ, when every
thing we know Of 1t goes to show that
we have had it always with us. and
with plenty Of food, some lime, and the
soil of the field, we can cultivate 1t by
uncountable myriads in an old fash
Toned compost heap? Truly, 1t might
be money making business to cult
vate this germ in this easy way and sell
big heap of compost at dollar and
a quarter small bottleful, which will
only supply one acre. think Of the
last compost heap I made. 1t was in
New Jersey. There were three hundred
loads of half-dried swamp muck, as
many loads of stable manure. and
enough air Stacked lime to whiten it
all through. It was the departing
point of my use of artificial fertilizers,
of which I had become independent
after three years liberal use OF them.
This big compost heap, spread over 20
acres Of land, gave me great crops,
and enabled me nearly to double my
stock If cows, and SO increase my
manure heaps another year. 1t took
winters work to make this heap OF
manure; but can it be doubted that
this way Of making manure is precisely
the same as that of the chemists who
are selling little bottles of it for five
quarter dollars? There were the ma
terials for breeding these nitrogen
germs, Of which had abundance; for
Sir J. B. Lawes, with whom was in
correspondence at the time on this sub
ject, wrote me that my poor sandy
land had undoubtedly more than
thousand pounds of nitrogen to the
acre. But it wanted rousing up, and
this big compost heap certainly did
do the needed rousing. often think
of this and study out its results and
wide applications. and feel sure that
this way Of inoculating the soil, to
which my father introduced me many
years ago, is precisely what we want
now. Make the winters work one OF
gathering the materials so easy to be
got, for cultivating this invaluable germ
ourselves, and do not send to Germany
for little bottles filled with them at the
price mentioned.

Honey Farming.

The honey trade in this country has
grown to great proportions, for honey
has ceased to be luxury, says the
New York Tribune. 1T forms part of
the grocer's stock in the smallest ham
let and bakers and candy makers and
patent medicine men use 1t by the
hogshead. There are several firms in
this city who regard an order OF $1,000,
$1,000 or $4,000 worth just as a dry
goods~merchant looks on an order for
fifty yards of muslin. New York, Bos-
ton and Chicago are the centers OF the
trade in this country, and London rules
the world. The supply Is steady, for
IL there is a shortage in one part OF
the country or the world, another part
is sure to make it up. There is no use
in attempting to make an estimate OF
the value of the crop. but 1t will go
we'll into the millions. It is known
that there are 10000 beekeepers in the
United States, and many who are I'M
known. Honey comes from all parts
of the country, but California and the
northern states supply the greater
part. The southern states do not fur
nish as much as would be expected,
partly because people are not paving
attention to the work, and partly be-
cause bees are not cared for as well as
at the north. The honey which the
southern states do send is different
from that of the other states; the
product of Florida Is considered the
best, but that Ia only as a cheaper
grade

MODERN PROVERBS.

Suspect the woman who talks OF hen
virtue.
Debts are the silent partners Of ex-
perience.
. The aim that is not straight upward
Is downward.
Gas you please" Is the wife's first
word of Indifference.
Woman lives by sentiment where
man lives by action.
The highest reward is the power to
do without reward.
There are but a few moral wounds
that solitude does not cure.
A hobby is the medium between a
passion and a mCnomania.
Money matters can always be set
tied, but feelings are pitiless.
A man is strong when he admits to
himself his own weaknesses.
There are some men who are always
polite-they have gloved souls.
In the medical profession a carriage
is often more essential than skill.
Love after giving more than it has
ends by giving less than it receives.
Next to the pleasure Of admiring the
woman we love is that Of seeing her
admired by others.
