Flowers of the brier berries red;

Flowers of the thistle loosen the thread.
Flowers of the clematis drip in beard,
Slack from the fir tree yOungly climbed;
Chaplets in air; flies foliage scared;
Hurled upon earth, lie clusters rimed."

An Event Of Foreshadowing importance.

This country had more of interest in
the ceremonies, Friday, attending the
laying of the foundation stone of what
is intended to be the great commercial
port of Siberian Russia, Vladivostock,
than may lat first appear. This port
will be the direct terminus of the great
trans Siberian Railway which is 1896
miles long and will cost, when COM
pIeted, nearly two hundred million dol
lars. This harbor was selected by Rus
STA because, by reason of its location,
it is believed to be nearly impregnable
While the inner harbor freezes over in
the winter, it is believed that it can be
kept open by ice breaking boats so as
to permit the exit of the warships and
possibly considerable winter traffic.
Russia attached much impor-
lance to this ceremony, as well it
might, if the purposes which brought
1t about mean anything. Certainly
they are stupendous in conception and
in undertaking and would not have
been thought of had not Russia seen
the desrability of Pacific port and
naval stronghold. But it is evident
that she sees other advantages than
those of a purely naval or military
standpoint. Along this line of rail-
way she is engaged in developing i'm
mense resources. Some of them, such
of Vladivostock. But she has hardly
made beginning. This town has
grown to $1,000 population in thirty
years and is destined to be metropo-
lis of great region.
All these things are only a few Of
the many which are attracting the eyes
of the world to it's greatest field for
development. Russia is looking east
to it. England would like to
China now afford. Japan is awake to
it. England from Canada is reaching
out toward it and the capital and en-
terprise Of all the leading natiOnalities
are interested in it's future to greater
or less extent. But what of the United
States? Manifest destiny is drawing
her into it as we'll; is impelling her to
the annexation of Hawaii with an in
fluence as irresistible as that of gray
ity. For such an important naval and
commercial station in the center of a
great area for future development can
not long remain unused. Unless this
country formally takes possession ID
it as she long since did in reality she
will not be in a position to prevent
it's becoming Asiatdcized. BY annexins
it and applying immigration laws and
exclusion acts she can retain it under
the influences of an Anglo-Saxon civil
ization. Its possession will give us grea

demand the vigorous enforcement of all
antitrust laws and such additional legis-
lation as is necessary for their immediate

its way through it and the boards be-

found to be filled with leaden balls, in

Of the convention. Mr.. Sloane said in
part:
Silver the Keynote.
'"The people of Ohio, and indeed, OF the
Union, are to be congratulated upon THIS
large assemblage, fol it is convention
of representatives of the whole people, the
masses, and not of bosses, Of trusts. OF
syndicates, or Of hired tools of the des-
potism of Wall and Lombard street greed.
This convention comes from the common
people, and owes it's allegiance alone TO
them. In these respects what contrast
it offers to the hate convention at Toledo,
for that convention was not called, or
ganized or controlled along the lines or
what the fathers of the Republican party
taught. but merely to obey the mandates
to d,s the will of Mark Hanna. 1t is ex-
pected that your temporary chairman
shall strike the keynote of the coming
campaign. Well, that keynote shall be
sounded on silver chord. 1t will be no
new note but prolongatiOn Of that sound
ed by the national convention at Chi
ca 60 last summer and one that has grown
in power and volume since carried In
grand diapason of more than 6,OOOOUO
voices TO the polls last November
Just before the convention was called to
order large gold cross was carried into
the hall. 1t had as ornaments the crown
of thorns and clock indicating 10 min
utes to 1 o'clock. The speech of Chair
man Sloane was frequently interrupted
with the widest demonstrat tons of APP
nlause, especially in his references to sill
yer.
James Gilmore of Eaton presented the
renort of a conference had between the
central committee and committee from
the silver Republicans, at which the latter
asked for representation on the ticket.
Iudge Gilmore thought the matter beyond
the province of the committee on rules.
and suggested that the convention deal
with the matter. A clamor followed,
which increased when similar request
from the Populists was read. w. T.
Hackney. chairman of the Cuyahoga
County delegation, opposed in impassIon-
Cd language any concession to either the
silver Republicans or the Populists, and
moved to lay the special reports on the
table. This proposition was received with
tumultuous applause. Mr.. Hackney pro-
ceeded to assert that the Chicago plat
form was broad enough for any one to
stand upon, and if any third or fourth
narty wanted to get on they could do SO,
hut only as Democrats.
Two silver Republicans in the audience
arose almost together to ask whether
they were to understand that they were
not wanted. Chairman Sloane advised
the gentlemen that personally he would
Ike to see representative of that party
on the ticket, but he understood the senh
mont OF the delegates to be adverse to
recognition. The theory OF the chair was
supported By practically unanimous vote
az the convention.

ditorium was beautifully decorated with
bunting and plants. There was pro-

Cleveland was not in the collection.
When the convention was called to or
der at 10 a. m. by Chairman Durbin he
congratulated the party on the signs of
the times and the enthusiastic condition
of the party. He made speech for free
silver. Prayer was offered by Rev. e. L.
ReXford, pastor of the Universalist
Church, and then Hon. Uric Sloane was
introduced as the temporary chairman
