Convention Cities.

~ HIS mornings letter from the
Standards Washington office
mentions San Francisco and
Kansas City as the two places whose
rivalry with Chicago for one or the
other of next years national conven-
tons is already announced. San Fran
cisco is a persistent bidder for these
conventions. That it will win next year
is not probable, A national convention
is a monster affair. Thousands of men
whom political matters interest like to
| be in the hotel Hobbies in the town
| where a presidential convention is held,
even if they cannot manage to get
standing room within the convention
hall These men will make long jour-
neys without complaint; thousands of
them regard Chicago as the Far
West But the transcontinental jaunt
would stagger these campaigners; they
would as soon go to London for a con-
vention.
Chicago is, of course. a strong prob
ability by reason of her location, yet
the members of the democratic com
objections of that city. 1t was the seat
of national headquarters in 1896 The
press of Chicago was bitterly, almost
insaney. hostile to the democratic
ticket: it treated the chairman and his
associates with the utmost unfairness
during the long, brave battle the COM
mittee made for the ticket.
Conditions have changed for the bet
ter since 1896. Chicago has twice gone
democratic since that time, but the
memories of that campaign do not
fade like a dream" Still, Chicago is
liable to win by reason of her magnifi-
cent location and her ability to ac-
commodate delegates and visitors. She
has had more conventions than any
other city in the country within the
last forty years. There Lincoln, Grant
Garfield, Blaine, Harrison and Nc
Kinley were nominated by the republic
| cans, and Mcclellan, Cleveland, twice,
| and Bryan by the democrats. Tilden
| and Mckinley We're nominated at ST.
Louis; Hayes and Hancock at Cincin-
| natl, Grant at Philadelphia, for his
second term, and Harrison, in 1892, at

train TO stretch his legs and let the sun
shine on him while the engine was tax

the train on its way.

Prince Herbert Bismarck does not en-

great chancellor. The latest order of the
prince is that no beer is to be sold to Wis
tiers on his estate. This makes the visits

~ LANS for the more vigorous
pushing of the Philippine cam
paign carry Otis with them
Repeatedly during last week the war
gossip from Washington included more
than an insinuation that it is not the
presidents plan to remove the present
commander of the forces. There was
one hint to the effect that some of the
people in the cabinet circle We're talk
ing about General Lawton as the off,
Ger who was considered to be in the line
of the succession, but this Game in the
way of unofficial comment, and it was
followed with positive statement to
the effect that Otis is to stay
1t is for President Mckinley to decide
this point. He has the say. To be sure
the unsatisfactory campaigning of re-
cent months has increased the unpopu-
larity of General Otis, and the round
robin hit him very hard. But We are
to remember this in respect to General
Otis-he has a very large undertaking
on hand. few months ago, the oracles
of the administration were giving out
predictions of the most confident sort
to the effect that it wouldn't be any
trick at all to whip the Filipinos in
fact, these boosters assured us that the
islanders wouldn't wait to be whipped
they would yield to us gladly. 1t
was under assurances, official or in
spired, of this sort that the Philippine
campaign began.
The misery is that all this admins
tration prophecy turned out to be ut
terly false. We have a real war on
hand: it gets to be constantly of larger
proportions as it grows older. In the
phrase of the boulevard, the govern
ment at Washington didn' realize
what it was running up against when
it undertook to whip into submission
these sullen, far-away Malays. Just
now the administration has reached the
point where it must provide opportun-
ties for vindication for the officer who
thus far has commanded not with the
success the public had been taught to
expect. Under this policy, General
Otis will be continued in command;
that appears to be settled.

One More Step.

~ AVS ago-nearly two weeks ago
To- when the supreme court an
nounced that John b. Welcome
must answer the famous charges pre-
ferred against him, the attorney gen.
eral. while disclaming all thought Of
undue haste, urged that the accused
attorneys plea be entered at once.
The attitude of the accused thus far"
said Attorney General Nolan, lis con-
elusive that he is going to dispute the
correctness of these charges. | cannot
see why the denial he will make should
not be entered now and the case set"
For reasons which are not obscure to
any citizen of Montana, the attorney
for Mr.. Welcome pressed for delay
He urged that Mr.. Welcome was in
Chicago on important business. Il can
not see" said Mr.. Carpenter, why, in
the absence of Mr.. Welcome and with
out an opportunity for counsel to talk
the matter over with him. plea should
be entered"
The fact is that on the day in ques-
ton Mr.. Welcome was not in Chicago
on important business; he was in New
York where during most of the time
that has elapsed since the legislature
adjourned he has been in full enjoy
ment of the elegant leisure which the
famous WaldorfAstoria affords. The
case is one that might naturally have
secured Mr.. Welcomes presence in the
state and at the court room. How
ever, his absence is his own affair.
The court was patient; the accused
was given ten days in which to plead,
the order of the court being that lit
is to be an answer to the merits and
not a dilatory plea"
Friday of last week was the tenth
day. After all, for the purposes of
getting at the truth in the charges
against Welcome, the answer might as
we'll have been made on the second day
of Augustine sequel fully sustains the
position taken by the attorney general
at that time. Mr.. Welcome is still out
of the state: he did not answer the
charges; his lawyers answered for him,
with the statement that, ION their
under which the court is asked to dis
bar him, are not true.
There, for the present, the case rests.
The members of the supreme court are
enjoying vacation; the charges will
come up for formal consideration later
on. By and by this rather-long lane
will reach its turning. For reasons
which, we presume, are satisfactory to
Mr.. Welcome and his attorneys, the
case has been prolonged with respect
to its preliminaries; the public has been
willing to let Mr.. Welcome set the
pace. That he should appear or not APP
pear TO enter his plea is not a matter
of high significance; it may even be
that he will conclude not to appear
when the trial reaches its decisive
stage. That may be.

last Tuesdays storm might have been
still more disastrous had it not been
for the American weather stations
which foretold the hurricane in time to
allow most of the shipping to obtain
shelter. Heretofore the main depend
ence of sailors in that locality has been
the barometer which, even If it gives
warning in time. does not indicate
where and when the storm will start
and in what direction it will travel. On
Tuesday the captains knew from what
point of the compass the storm was
coming and how to place their vessels
to best advantage in order to escape its
fury. The extension of the United
States weather service along the shores
of the Caribbean sea will prove of great
benefit to shipping not only in that To-
cality but all along the Atlantic coast.

Il TOLEDO man named Waggoner
has announced that on Tuesday
he will burn in front of church
in that city a magnificent library which
has cost him a great deal of money and
taken him years to collect. Waggoner
is convert to Christianity from agnos-
ticism and the burning of his library is
prompted, he says, by religious zeal. It
is to be feared that the gentleman is
also influenced by a love of ostentation
His rushing from one extreme to the
other is not an indication of a well-bal-
anced mind. If he is satisfied that lit
erature is bad for him, he would better
burn his library in the back yard, not
letting his right hand know what his
left doeth. A man may have a legal
right to do what he pleases with his
own property. but such an act of van
dalsm as Waggoner proposes can
serve no good purpose-least of all will
it turn unbelevers to Christianity. Its
first effect will be to raise a question
as to WaggOner's sanity.
