So far as the big cities are concerned.
the national political conventions OF next
year seem to be going begging. Several
places of the second class in the West,
notably Kansas City, Denver, Milwaukee,
and Indianapolis, are making lusty bids
this early, but the larger communities like
Chicago and New York. appear not to
want to entertain any of the conventions
OF course, Washington is the proper place
for all such assemblages. and the appar-
ent change of sentiment in the big COM
mercial centres will eventually cause all
parties to seek this city for national con-
vention purposes.

LowelI,s Little Friends.

W.- Stilman, in the London Spectator)
James Russell Lowell had a tube laid from
the main for supplying with fresh water such
a dish Iof water, for squirrels and brdsl
have described, on the lawn in front of Elnl-
wood and about his house the squirrels and birds
were only disturbed by the cats. In front of
his bedroom window pair of grey squirrels had
nested, and in his last illness he took great
pleasure in watching their gambols in their elm
tree home. It must have been Of the last
pleasures the outdoor world gave him, and the
incident tod me by his dying daughter, look
ing out from the same windows, when / saw her
last autumn. just before she died. and the descend
ants of the squirrels he watched were playing
still in the same trees. The same water dish
served the ihrushes and the orioles, which
prompted some of his finest nature notes.

Looking for q Hern.

What means this talk of sidetrackinp
the amiable and adroit Mr. Garrett A. Ho-
bart in 1900? II the gentleman desires to
be Mr.. Mckinley's running mate again,
why should the Hanna machine object to
q qualification of that desire?
In the language of popular song of the
day. Mr.. Hobart has certainly been gooi
to" Mr.. Mckinley. Who but he was it
that conveyed gently but unmistakab.y to
the dull Algerian intellect the unpleasant
information that Mr.. Mckinley needed to
make scapegoat of somebody in the gen.
eral interests of syndicate politics, and
would Mr. Alger please prepare his back
for the load? And has not Mr. Hobart
presided over the Senate with proper dig
nifty and due regard for the interests which
he and Mr.. Mckinley were elected to sub
serve? We can answer both of these ques-
tions In the affirmative without the least
fear of successful contradiction
We are assured that the necessity which
the Hannaites discern as sufficient justif
cation for the ruthless slaughter of Mr.
Hobart to make a syndicate holiday is a
military hero-"a hero bronzed by the
tropical sum-" And where, pray, are we to
look for such hero? Have not all of our
military operations been conducted singly
to the purpose of reserving all hero rights
to the Commander-in-C Chief of the Army
and Navy? Why. therefore, should not the
halo of military glory which sheds a glow
Of brilliant effulgence in the White House
be all that is needed in the hero linee
Why, indeed. should there be need of any
adventitious aid at the tail of the ticket
in 1900?
This report, stalking about with such
convincing elaboration of detail, indicates
that there is rift in the lutte somewhere
and that the mighty Hanna has reason to
fear that, blow he never so hard until his
cheeks bulge out like Georgia pumpkins,
the music will be mute unless he first
chink the rift. The rift may be in New
some renown, but of little perspicuity.
However, there is reason to believe that
this hero has an ambition that vaults
higher than the old shoes of Hobart. Such
self-esteem does rack his mind that his
aspiration scars not an inch lower than the
very CATERS of Mckinley. Hence it cannot
be that Hanna would think to wage combat
with this reincarnation of Ceasar.
Now. if the genuine, alI-wool-and-a-
yardwide article of military hero is to
be hitched to the tail of the ticket, Hanna
will want one of the Administrations own
making. In this case, he will have several
to choose from. Naturally his eyes will
first rest upon the Bobadillian Sampson
