But life has now no sad regret,

Who sews my buttons on!
Those little hands. so small and white,
So true and nimble, TO my sight,
Are evermore a pure delight,

Who sews my buttons on!

And praise the girls OF every cline.

THE CONVENTION.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal declares
that there is a "haziness" about the
Dispatch's position on the constitutional
convention question. Our position is the
same as the Index's, with one exception
The Index thinks the present is a suitable
time to order a convention, while we think
it an unsuitable time. That is the diff
ference between US, but it is an i'm
portant difference.
A convention to frame new Constitu-
ton ought to be in large part conyen-
ton of statesmen. We do not believe
that an election for members, IL held this
year or next year, would result in givins
US that sort OF a convention. Hence we
would have our people vote mo" on May
27th.

INVESTIGATING RUIZ's DEATH.
No International Complications Are
Likely to Result.
ANA shinginn Post-22l.

washington POst-22d.)
1t can be stated on the best of au-
thority that, so far, at least, there is no
reason for apprehension that the case Of
DR.. Richard Ruiz, who was found dead
in his cell in the Jail at Guanabacoa,
Cuba, will lead to any international COM
plications. The matter was brought TO
the attention Of the State Department
in the latter part of the past week.
through complaint of some Of the friends
of the Doctor in this country. The al
legation was that the man had been i'm
prisoned beyond the period allowed by
treaty for an American citizen to be kept
in Jail without the Judgment Of charges,
and that ne had been murdered by his
jailers.
Consul-General Lee was Immediately di-
rected by cable 10 investigate the al
fair although 1t appeared from mis- DIS
patches that he had already had his at
tention directed TO the case. The Official
reports OF the Spanish officers are SAID to
show that Ruiz committed suicide while
I'm iaiI. but this has not yet been com
municased to the Department OF state.
Meanwhile. Consul General Lee is inves-
tigating the matter, and the State De-
partment is awaiting his report In the
absence of this. the department officials
feel no apprehension Of any compica-
lions. and all stories that warships have
been called for by General Lee, or that
this government is making ready to take
forcible measures in the case, are with
out foundation.
Dr. Ruiz was naturalized American
citizen. He studied and practiced dem
tistry in Philadelphia for some time
and returned to Cuba about the begin
ming of the present Instruction. The
charge upon which he was arrested was
conspiracy, in having participated In the
derailing Of a train carrying spanish
troops. as a result Of which two spanish
officers were captured by the insurgents.

The New York Herald, which was one
of the leaders of the Mckinley auxiliary
forces during the last campaign, lifts
up its voice against Republican extrava-
gance and tariff tinkering. and solemnly
declares that every sensible person
knows the unprecedented election which
made Mr.. Mckinley President was neither
a Republican nor a protection victory.
II is now in order for Mr.. Hanna, If
he has any sense Of humor, TO tell, for
the benefit of the Herald, the rather
ancient, but none the less apropos, an
necdote about the client who. while in
DURANGO vile. was told by his lawyer
that he could not be put in jail. "All the
same" replied the client, I'm in jail"
In concluding its article, the Herald
asks; "Is there no remedy for, no check
upon, such abuse of public trust?" Yes;
and the remedy is a simple one: Let the
Democrats and the papers that went
straying after false gods in the last presi-
Dental canvass, and fell down and wor-
shipped the pinchbeck, gold calf set
up at st. Louis, resolve not to be fooled
again, and act upon the resolution.

gan TO attack the character and courage
of the Confederate soldiers. Pleasonton
gave start of surprise as he recognized
the man, and asked il he remembered him.
The stranger said he did not; whereupon
the General said: II am Alfred Pleason-

Throughout the country war is being
waged upon dogs that show the slightest

enough faith in the maidstone or Pasteur

much risk. They remember too ViVlaly

who were bitten by the big st. Bernard
dog.
Unless there is a noticeable reduction IN
the number OF dogs reported as mad be-
fore long, there will have to be very
