| have. made light of Van Wyck:s candi-
dacy, b~ecausea job was put up by Tam
many to give a Fourth Of July ovation
to the name of Bryan. when it was men,
toned by the redundant Hogg Of Texas.
1t argues nothing against the possible
nomination of Van Wyck if Tammany
be against him. Tammany went to the
St. Louis convention in 1876 against
Samuel Tilden, and Tilden was nomi-
mated. Tammany went to the Chicago
convention in 1884 against Grover Cleve-
land, and Cleveland was nominated.
Tammany may go to the next national
convention against Van Wyck, and the
time-honored precedent of sitting down
on Tammany may be again followed.
The fact is, New York is just as essen
tial to democratic success in the national
mathematician in the party cannot figure
out a victory with the Empire state left
out Of the democratic column. 1t fol-
lows, then, that a candidate from that
state has an initial advantage over n
other individual vino may aspire to a
presidential nomination. 1t is true, Til
den and Cleveland had the prestige Of
sitting in the ~gubernatorial chair Of New
York. and in that respect had a leverage
which Van Wyck does not possess. But
nc candid observer of political events will
believe for one moment that the guber-
Material services of Tilden and Cleveland
strengthened them before the people in
the national election. Each had aroused
powerful opposition while governor Of
New York. an opposition which found ex-
preston in the fight waged against their
nomination by Tammany, and which was
far reaching in its character.
Van Wyck will encounter no serious
opposition from Tammany should he de-
velop any considerable amount of
strength as a candidate for the nomina7
ton. The conditions likely to arise will
be worth more to his candidacy than
would the prestige of an election as gov
.etnor. His ambitions, therefore, need
not be lightly treated. If the German
following goes to Van Wyck the distin-
guished New Yorker will put up a pretty
good fight for the nomination, and the
Empire state may again pass under the
wire with n of its eminent sons at the
head Of the democratic ticket.

to launching the presidential candidacy
of that gentleman. Preliminary confer

NOLAN AND DIVORCES.

In discussing the ever live and pressing
problems OF divorce, the Butte Miner this
morning makes the following reference to
Attorney General Nolan:
10 The state of Montana has at last Sc
cured -aAn attorney general who either
knows more than the legislature or whose
judgment is so perfect that nobody cares
to test Y before the supreme COURT
This unkind allusion to a democratic
state official, by a leading democratic
newspaper, is inspired by the position
taken by General Nolan as to the made
quacy of the aw which prohibits d.
svorcees from remarrying in this state
within two years after the issuance of a
decree. Though ridiculing the official
who. m It's opinion, made the law a lead
letter, thus smoothing the pathway of
the divorce to newly found matrimonial
bliss, instead of compelling him to wait
two years, the Miner takes still more ad-
vanced grounds as to liberality in the
treatment of the ~connubially ~disgruntled.
From a law journal it quotes the follow
ing:
The only solution of the problem that
presents itself to our view is the enact
ment by each state of liberal statutes al
lowing divorces to be obtained for five or
six of the most usual grounds, and reli-
ance upon an enlightened people to de-
termine for themselves whether the as
sistance of the courts shall be invoked to
settle their domestic difficulties.
Unwilling to compliment General No.
Ian for his opposition to the law which
would have compelled divorced persons in
this state to remain single for a period of
two years, the Miner gives its hearty ap-
prevail to the foregoing scheme to make
divorces easy of attainment. It says:
The latter paragraph seems to offer a
clear solution Of a difficult problem. The
last clause of it is the one that would
suggest itself to the minds of the most
enlightened. .
With 'liberal statutes" allowing d.
vorces to be obtained on ave or six Of
the most usual grounds" and the Inter
ested parties themselves to determine
whether the assistance of the courts
should be invoked, the bacteria in the di-
vorce mania ought to propagate with
great rapidity in this high altitude. In
making divorces easy we fear the consci-
entious and God-fearing Butte Miner has
inadvertently outstripped the attorney
general whom it criticises. Is -

Notre Dame university is the favorite
institution of learning in this country for
Latin American students. p, At, present
there are a dozen in the summer school,,
While the indications are that there will
be more than IS at the university next
fall. About SO of these will come from
Mexico and the South American coun-
tries, and the remainder from Cuba and
Porto Rico. The reason for this prefer
ence for Notre Dame lies In the fact that
1T Is a Roman Catholic institution, and
Latin Americans. as a rule, are members
of this church. Another important con-
sideration is that there is a Latin Amer
lean club at Notre Dame which was
formed so that the strangers in the coun-
try could the more quickly learn Amer
lcan social customs and the language.
The only other organization of this kind
in an American school is at Cornell, and

tween the two schools.

George Washington's body servant has
not died for several years, so it is safe to
assume that he has been gathered finally
to his fathers. There is a man in Ohio,
however, who is quite old enough to have
seen the Father of His Country. His
name is Nathaniel Polan: he lives at Ele-
nor, Clermont county; his age is 102 years.
Mr.. Polan does not claim that he was
personally acquainted with the first pres
ident. who died when he was two years
old. He bases his claim to distinction on
the possession of a lantern which once
hung on one side of the state coach of
President Washington, and which was
given to his father in 1889 by the hand
that chopped the cherry tree.

THREE AFRICAN SNAKE STORIES.

other part of Zululand and Joined a
trader on a two days hunt, leaving
Jock, at his request. to take charge OF
the wagon and assert his botanical and
other specimens On our return we
discovered that as usual our Highland
Friend had been having an adventure
IL appeared that after we left him,
the night being very sultry, Jock spread
mis- blankets on the ground and slept
with the azure canopy of heaven above
him. There is no more delightful feel
ing than that of waking up under a
starilt summer sky in Africa. with the
refreshing night breeze softly tanning
your cheek; but on this special occa-
sion as Jock woke he was conscious CT
thrilling sensation about his neck.
which took all the romance out of the
situation.
Feeling cautiously to ascertain the
cause. he was Mortified to find his
fingers come in contact with the moist
body of a snake,
The position must have been fearfully
trying to the nerves. He dare not shout
to the wagon boys who were sleeping
within ten yards of him. still less could
ne venture TO roll away. The least
movement on his part would cause his
self-lnvited visitor to fasten its fangs
IN his neck. So there he lay hoping
against hope that one of the snoring
Zulus would wake up and discover his
plight.
To make his situation still more in
tolerable, first his nose began to itch
consumedly, then the tickling sensation
spread TO every individual inch of his
anatomy, until he seemed to be one
vast, substantial itch, and he could not
venture TO scratch or move in any way.
He had no means of knowing in which
direction the snakes head lay, or how
far it had coiled itself around him
Slowly and YEARLY the minutes drag
ged on until Jock began to think that
eternity had surely arrived and that the
sun never intended lighting up this
globe again. Then the gray light in
the east gave him some comfort, but
not much, for he was nor- tortured with
tAe. fear that his companion would wake
and perhaps give him a bite or two,
just by way of reminder that they had
passed the night together or that the
Zulus in getting up would disturb the
snake and anger him.
Jocks head was fortunately turned
towards the wagon and as the sun
rose. one of the wagon boys sat up and
yawned. All this moment he caught
the Scotchman's eye; the expression of
IL must have been alarming. for the
yawn was suddenly strangled and he
approached Jock softly. The Zulu
grasped the situation and.
returning to the wagon. procured a
spade. The snakes head was resting,
luckily for our hero, on the blanket
while its body was partly on the Scots
chest and neck With one swift scoop
the boy swept the snakes head off the
blanket with the spade and instantly
decapitated it.
1t was a monstrous puff adder. one
of South Africa's deadliest serpents,
and it's bite would have proved fatal lin
half an hour.

partner long and meditatively and then
said solemnly: "Aweel. mon. I'd as
