The convention of the national social and
political conferees at Buffalo is serving an
excellent purpose just at present by making
the sentiments of the radical anti-imperial-
lists supreme!y ridiculous in the eyes of in
telligent Americans. There is no special
anger at the outpourings of these choice
specimens of citizenship. They excite rather
smiles. Were the gathering representative,
had il been authorized by some exercise of
the sufrages of the people, were it in re-
Spouse to any widely expressed demand,
the sessions would perhaps be significant.
But the national social and political con-
ference seems to be a mere mushroom
growth from a stray spore dropped in the
dank soil of discomfort and sproutng into
a cluster of harmless fungi of fantastic
shapes and many colors.
This Buffalo conference is, in fact a
meeting place for many of the most promi-
nent cranks now doing business as such in
this country. There are reformers and agi-
tators of all sorts and conditions The free
siverite joys elbows with the single taxer.
The anti-imperialist drinks a toast to the
destruction of the administra ton in COM
pany with the greenbacker. The ultras of
all kinds are on hand There is no coher-
ence or common purpose in the gathering.
ItS sessions are dlSputatiouS and dlSorderly.
Every other man has remedy for certain
ills which he perceives in the body polite.
Few Of them agree in the diagnosis. The
piutocrat, the gold bug and the believer in
rational expansion are condemned on diff
ferent grounds by different delegates. The
only note of harmony is the outcry that the
country is going to the demnition bow
vows, and that only through the medium of
any one of half hundred reforms can it
be- saved

Ever since the Wild West show ap- pesred in Buda-Pesth the citiEens be- heve that every American carries a re- volver. Not long ago three Americans were sitting at a table in a music hall, taking such refreshments as may be obtained at such a place. One of the Americans finally called for his cheek. The waiter performed feat in mathe- matics and learned that three times three made r. The American found fault with this system Of multiplica- ton and stood up 10 protest. Instant ly the girl y-l7 sold programmes threw herself in front of him, and seized his arm Please don't, l" she pleaded. "He IS poor man; he has a wife and fam fly The manager came running Wait, wait" he sntreated. Please do not make any trouble. l ask that you do not shoot" Yielding to these entreaties, the American (who carried nothing more deadly than a penknife) spared the life of the trembling waiter, who had made a run for the stairway. There was another computation, and 1t was decided that three times three made nine. and then the ferocious Americans departed, to the great relief of the natives

An English company has been formed 10 print without the use of ink in any form, by simply bringing the plate into contact with chemically-dampened pa- per linen, silk. wool or other fabric. and obtaining a good. clear impression of any desired density.
