The Pennsylvania Convention.

The Pennsylvania Convention.
The Democratic party OF the United
States is To be congratulated upon the
Results OF the Pennsylvania State CON
yenti0n. For scnle time il has been evi-
dent that large amount of Republican
ana Waldorf" influence and money would
be used to defeat adherence 10 the Chi.
cago platform, and to open tie way for
9 return to power within the party Of
an clement bent only upon its destruction
at the polls.
II is satisfactory and encouraging to
know that the Democracy Of PennsyI-
Vania has been true to its traditions, doc
trine and faith. Its action acclains every
thing that true Democracy stands for.
1t denounces the Hanna trust tariff.
1t denounces the cowardly policy OF the
Administration in relation to Cuba and
demands armed Intervention. IL protests
against the subversion of the constitu-
tional rights Of the people by the injunc-
tiOns Of courts, and it breathes the spirit
OF true patriotic Americanism.
The action Of the PENNSYLVANIA Demo
cratic convention is a warning to the
powers OF gold contraction, trusts, monopo-
lies and to the foreign influences that
are sapping the interests and prosperity
OF the American people, and it ought TO
be 3 grand encouragement TO the masses,
TO prosecute the good work, so that the
popular voice at the elections of 1898
and 1900 shah have no uncertain sound.

The st. Louis labor conference talk abon,

The st. Louis labor conference talk about
asking Mr.. Mckinley te call an extra
session of the Congress, for the purpose of
having the rights OF the people defined
as to peaceable assemblage and such
things, is a matter of interest. Suppose
the combined labor organizations of the
United States were to demand this; would
the President issue a call? If he did,
what could be expected from the Hanna
Senate and the House of Reed? Never
theless, 1T is good question TO think
about.

Charlottesville, Ind, Aug. 31.-A tragic
suicide occurred late last evening at Wayne
town, ten miles west OF Charlottesville
The victim was John White, aged twenty
one years. He was to have been married
last night to Miss Nettie Whitaker, and
had been preparing for the nuptial event
apparently In an unusually happy frame of
mind.
AT 6 o. clock he went to his room to dress
and few minutes later was heard to
leave the house. He went directly to the
barn and drained vial Of carbolic acid.
His body was found half an hour later,
about an hour before the time set for the
ceremony. No cause is assigned for the

element in this individuals unweIcome

with the intention OF sympathizing with

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Politicians acquainted with the condi-
tion OF affairs in Maryland predict that
Marburg will he nominated by the RepuD-
llcans for ina yor at the primaries ordered
by the State convention at Ocean City last
week. Malster, who was frozen out be-
fore and ra n independently, getting more
votes that the combined opposition, VIII
he given an equal show at these primaries,
but 1t is admitted that he cannot possibly
poll the votes he did before. Mr.. Nal
ster's primaries were not surrounded by
tile usual safeguards found at primary
elections, and it is asserted that anyone
VINO w.shedit could vote. In this way, 1t
Is said, he secured many Democratic votes
and the claim was made at Ocean City
that the vote he secured did not express
the sentiments OF Republican voters i'll
any particular.
The voting conditions at the next
primary viii be altogether different. The
machinery VIII be in charge of the Wei
Hngton men, and every ballot cast Will
be watched and all doubtful Republicans
challenged. In this way, it is believed
full and fair expression of the party
will be secured. With the Influence of
the machine at his back and Supplee with
drawn altogether, the managers Of Mar
burS's campaign say there is no doubt
OF his nomination. At the same time,
Malster is confident-neyer was candidate
more so-and il it should turn out that
he is defeated, there may still be hot
time II: Baltimore. Masters friends still
threaten to bolt. They believe their cham
pion was fairly nominated at the previous
test, aud if he should be defeated now
they viii cry fraud, and jump the ticket.
If Malster should run as an independent
ticket 1t is doubtful if Marburg could draw
enough Democratic votes TO his side TO
offset the loss of the Republicans who
would bolt with Master.

Hanna Heis engagedin perfecting a huge

To use in future campaigns. Hanna likes
power and he would rather be President
maker than President himself He is so
self-satisficd with what he has accom-
piished that he now looks forward to the
time when he Shall be the absolute dictator
of the Republican party. To do this he
must have perfect organization and
one that VIII be thoroughly and absolutely
loyal to him. Every man who is not
loyal or who will not be dictated to by
Hanna Is to be turned downit matters not

Hanna gave an illustration of his
methods in Buffalo last week. 1t has been
generally supposed that enry W Brendel,
promin ent Republican leader Of that city,
would be made collector of customs OF
that port. In Buffalo there is a man
named Frank B. Baird, who is the repre-
sentative of the Hanna int nterests in that
city. He has never taken any part in the
city politics. Recently he surprised every
body by coming out as a ull-fladyed candf
date for collector. He was laughed at, as
he had no political influence When Hanna
went TO Buffalo in his yacht to meet the
President Baird's Importance became an
parent. He suddenly became prominent In
the public eye by giving dinner to Nc
Kinley.
Not one of the members of the regular
Republican organization was invited and
the function had more significance when
it was learned that three of the Repub-
lioan papers OF Buffalo had assisted In
making out the list of guests. Baird was
pushed to the front, and it is reported
on excellent authority that on the way
to Cleveland Hanna talked the affair
over and declared that Baird would be
the next collector Of customs at Buffalo

With tie absolute necessity OF getting
every vote in the coming legislative cleo

among the Maryland Republicans than
formerly and Lot so much of derosing
Wellington from the State chairinanship.
Republicans OF Maryland realize that they
have II hard fight before them, but they
know, also, that the prize is worth the
battle. IL they can carry the election
and send a representative TO the Senate
to succeed Mr.. Gorman the victory viii
be memorable in Maryland history. To
depose Wellington would be but Ia drive
the splitting wedge deeper into the party
and Republicans are almost convinced that
this would be suicidal. Votes are what
are wanted Just now, and il wise connS el

mony and less of the unsheathing OF

possible is the task the Senator has

There was IA great deal of boisterous
talk down In Virginia the other day,
emauating from the Republicans opposed
TO the action OF the State executive com
mittee IN leposing Col. Lamb and deciding
to not call State convention. That talk
has likewise simmeret down TO a gentle
wave OF gossip. Col Walker refuses to
he a candidate for the ualcontents. He
believes the committee "a Y@rong IN de
posing Col. Lamb. and he believes II acted
I'm wisely In not calling a convention, but
at the same time Col. Walker believes
in obeying the organization, and there is
no higher voice OF party authority in a
State than the State committee.
Here and there, in few counties, the
Republicans may fuse with the Populists,
tut it viii not have any effect on th- general
result. The Democrats viii carry the
State by an old time majority y Demo
cratic governor Will be iuaugnra ted, and

State convention has merely saved to
each possible delegate his expenses to and

some insurance in old line companies,
but so far the money has not appeared.
A very laughable incident occurred
in the last meeting of the W. r. G..

come from Sheriff Pease, of Chicago,
identifying this lady to be the lost Mrs

kept very quiet and only few knew
anything about it at the time, and
since then it was found to be only a

The Reason Why Fish Cannot be Pur-
chased Now


A number of people called at the
meat markets Friday for fish. Invari-
ably they we're told that they couldn't
get any now.
For the next seven weeks all fishing
in Lake Michigan with nets is prohib-
tied. The act was passed by the last
legislature and is entitled An act to
regulate the taking, possession, use,
transportation and sale of fish and
game"
Section Is reads: " 1t shall be unlaw
full and is prohibited, to capture or
take by means of nets of any kind, in
any of the outlying waters of the state,
any whitefish or trout, between the
18th day of October and the LIST day OF
December next succeeding. Any per-
son who shall violate any of the pro-
visions of this section shall, upon con-
viction thereof, be punished by fine
of not less than $25 nor more than 500,
and be imprisoned until such fine be
paid, not exceeding ninety days"
There are quite few men engaged
in the fishing industry who reside in
Kenosha, and consequently will be
forced to take a vacation.

The Changes Made by the Council OF the
Milwaukee Diocese.

| A significant step was taken Friday
by the council of the Milwaukee do
cese, when. in amending the constitu-
ton, it was voted to drop the words
]" Protestant Episcopal" and insert in
their stead " the church." This is one
of the first surface indications of the
change which has been going on in the
Episcopal church for years. 1t lndl-
Gates that the so-called high church
element has the upper hand in the
Milwaukee diocese. This change has
been a subject of discussion for some
time in the different dioceses of the
country, but the Milwaukee diocese is
the first to take this long step for
ward. Among the members of the
council it was said that others would
follow the lead of Milwaukee in this
matter. 1t is said that this is only the
entering wedge and that in the course
of few years other changes will be
made which will bring the church
nearer to the position claimed for it by
the advanced churchmen.
Among other changes made in the
revision Of the constitution was the i'm
position of a penalty for the non pay
ment of pportionments for missions.
There was q great deal of objection to
this, it being argued that the enforce
mRnt of collections for missions was IN
opposition to all the dictates OF
christianity, as they were voluntary
contributions for charitable purposes.
The new canon was, however, adopted
by large vote. Another amendment
provides for the meeting of the council
in September instead of in June, as has
been the custom heretofore. The cleo
ton of the standing committee of the
diocese resulted as follows:
Clerical members-Revs. Charles
Stanley Lester, James Slidell and DR..
Wright, of Milwaukee, and Professor
Webb, of Nashotah.
Lay members-L. FL. Morehouse, E.
P. Brockway and Captain Edward
Ferguson, of Milwaukee, and Judge
John B. Winsow, of Racine.
Rev. L. p Holmes, of Sussex, Marsh.
Chase, of Mineral Point, William Nc
Vettie, of Hudson, and E. G.. Richard
son, of Milwaukee, were appointed on
the board of missions. G. P. Jones, of
Milwaukee, was elected treasurer of the
diocese, and Canon St. George, of All
Saints Cathedral, was elected regis
trar. Trustees of the diocesan funds
AID property are Rev. Harry Thomp
son, of Kenosha, 81. S. Eldred and E. p.
Brockway, of Milwaukee.

OUR C1G4zeuS.

is excellently made up and first class
in every particular. Hugh Reid has
demonstrated that his past experience
in such work has been beneficial"
Such is the comment of one of the
local papers. Barring 200 or 300 mis-
takes, mistakes which are vital, we are
inclined to side with our contemporary.
There is probably not page in the
book upon which mistakes cannot be
found. Some of them are most rank
and inexcusable. The spelling of some
of the most common names known to
Americans make topographic curiosi-
ties when they appear in this alleged
directory. The book has been SO re-
Gently delivered that we have had time
to glance at it only casually, but we
find such things as: William spelled
Wilton, Ada appears as Eda, Della as
Della, saloon as saooln, and numberless
other instances.
Names and initials are all mixed up.
E. G.. Hazelton appears as E. 2. Hazel
ton, Miss Marie Bacot appears as
Bicot while her mother who lives with
her is down as Mrs. Maria Bricot, Len
Bruenner gets in as Len Bruner, the
name Brockhaus has an 90" in the
place of the a." Rev. II. j. Roche
is down in the church directory as
Rev. n. j. Roche.
1t is very small matter to get A. S.
BARRIERS name in twice so as to be sure
of it. but how about such names as
Henry j. Hastings, Leayenworth Ker-
shaw, William Magill, Frank Magill,
Mary McGill, Charles Pfennig, ST.,
John Pirsch, George Pirsch, Miss En-
ma Shirley, Nick Lindemann, John
Zens and heaven knows how many
more, who are self-supporting people
of the city and residents over 16 years
of age," whose names do not appear
at all.
AS we stated, barring a few things
like that it is first class in every par
ticular." The press work is good and
so is the binding, but taken as a whole
the inside" is first class example of
the mistakes incident.to cheap work. "
