TICKET IN THE FIELD,
Socialist Labor Party Meeting = Legal
Requirements for Recognition.

The socialist labor party unlike the
other political parties, holds no state
convention, but relies upon nomination
papers to place it's candidates before
the voters. The law requires that
these papers shall bear 1000 signatures
and the papers for the state ticket Of
ficers are now in circulation in differ
ent parts of the state. They find no
trouble In securing the requisite num-
Der Of signers and the papers which are
in circulation in this city are being lib
orally signed.
The nominations of the party are as
follows: For governor, George r..
Pears of Lynn; for lieutenant COVER
nor, Michael /. Berry of Haverhill; for
secretary, James F. Stevens Of Boston;
for treasurer Martha Moore Avery of
Boston, for attorney general G. p.
Spellman Of Westfeld; for auditor,
John Paine of New Bedford
Among the sgners Of the papers
there is Addison w. Barr who was for
many years one Of the leaders Of the
party here, but, who, through some

with one of the larger parties. He has

In his speech at Clinton. Iowa. Pres
ident Mckinley said: I'VE want no diff
ferences at home until we have
settled our differences abroad
when all that is done we can
have our little differences among
ourselves" This sounds sensible
and ineligible. But what did he
mean when he said that the war will
bring also burdens, but the American
people never shirk a responsibility and
never unload burden that carries for
ward civilization. We accepted war
for humanity We can accept no terms
OF peace which shall not be in the in
terest Of humanity" The imperialists
will endeavor to extract much comfort
from this remark, but it is a tride
enigmatic, nevertheless.

After six days canvass of New
York city, the Journal predicts that
Van Wyek will carry the city by So 900
plurality and the state by $4,000. Few
things are more delusive than these
newspaper canvasses, but 1t is we'll to
remember that the Journals can
vass presaging the election of
the other Van Wyck as mayor
and the defeat Of Seth Low,
rather understated the figures than
exaggerated them. Furthermore, the
betting, which a few days ago offered
odds on Roosevelt, is now about even. If
Roosevelt is beaten, TIE result will be
only fresh proof that Thomas C. Platt
is the Jonah Of the republican party in

NEWMAN's DIARY OF EVENTS.
He Has Been Recording Daily the
Happenings of His Life
Since 1860.

Bishop Newman the venerable divine OF
the Methodist church. has kept an un-
broken diary since 1860. Probably no man
has been more closely identified with the
important affairs of history, and few have
met and known more famous men than the
bishop and If he ever consents to the pub
lication of this daily journal it will un-
doubtedy rank among the few great diaries
Of history.
In a recent interview with Dexter Mar
shall the bishop said: Il have rarely lived
day without meeting some one with
something to say worth preserving, and
for years the bulk of my daily entries has
with all sorts of people. / can hardly
indicate the value and variety of the in
formation I have thus been able to set
down in black and white. and must con-
fess that i have derived an immense
amount of satisfaction from time to time
in looking the records over. Some of the
most Interesting things have been said by
the unlettered, and some Of the wittiest,
too.
20, yes, 1 sometimes preserve jokes as
well as facts. and / have found that the
sense of humor exists everywhere and
sweetens the lot Of almost every one. BY
constant practice have trained my MEM
Ory SO that it acts almost automatically.
and now when l am ready at the end of
each day to set down whatever i hav.
heard worth while. the salient points recall
themselves, so to speak. and am able to
write them without trouble I generally
precede the notes of my talk with de-
scription of the speaker. and in this way
/ have got together a very large number
OF brief pen pictures of personalities"

frequently Only where the dust is in
crevces and cracks must it be brushed out
instead of gathered up.
