penses, or what might be called gra-
tuities in some other shape. but thil
seems to be considered exceptional.
1t is obvious that no one can say
what a given convention will cost. 1t
seems to be considered that $4,000 is
reasonable minimum. and 100000 a
reasonable maximum of cost. and that
anything above or below is pure vel
vet for somebody.
But whether the expense is more or
less will never be known to the public.
Indeed, it will never be known to the
city that entertains the convention.
The city makes its invitation attract
i've with an offer of a lump sum of
money and then turns it over without
asking any questions.

to prevent them from being counter
feited. They are kept in a safe depos-
it vault from the time they are deliv-
cred by the engraving company until
the time they are issued, just before
the meeting of the convention. 1t is
claimed that convention tickets have
never been counterfeited. AS COM
plete set of them may be worth fROm
SIS to $50. there is obvious reason for
taking every precaution to keep them
from being counterfeited.
In all this nothing has been said
about the payment of money for the
services of the scores of subordinate
officials and assistants of various
kinds. 1t is well known. of course,
that the officers of convention re-
ceive no pecuniary compensation.
They serve for the honor and glory OF
it, although allowances are usually
made to the sergeant-at-arms and
similar officers for their personal. ex-
penses.
1t does not seem to be so generally
known that it has been customary for
very many of their subordinates-the
doorkeepers and messengers and depu-
ties of various sorts, including clerks
to serve without pay. Many OF these
men come with the state delegations,
and are very glad to have the oppor-
tunity of attending all the sessions of
the convention, and at the same time
privilege of little authority, even if
it is brief, and a chance to wear a
big badge, to say nothing of the pos
sibility of future reward in the shape
of a salaried Office somewhere.
AS rule, am told, the employees OF
the convention staff receive no wages,
but serve for love and glory. Some OF
them may receive money for their ex-

Kochs' Researches on Malaria,

In tho report just published on his
study of malaria in Italy Prof. Koch
says the infection of malaria is es-
pecially maintained and propagated by
the relapsing cases which continue all
the year round and form the link be-
tween one fever season and the next, so
that the mosquitoes in the beginning
Of the summer always find germs. II
no relapse occurred in any OF the cases
OF malaria In any given district the
mosquitoes would find no germs in the
beginning of summer, and malaria
would become extinct there. The pro-
fessor ascertained that the so-called
aestlvo-autumnal fevers were Identical
with tropical malaria.

What is the actual cost of the ma
tional convention of one of the great
political parties? This question is more
easily asked than answered, as have
found in endeavoring to secure an ac-
curate answer to it. Party leaders,
convention managers, convention Off
cials either do not know or will not
tell the details of the expenditures on
this account They seem to be part of
the body of secrets which one national
committee hands down to another, and
which all national committees en-
deavor to keep from the public. The
national conventions are largely under
the management of the national COM
mittees. National committees select
the time and the place, make the ar
rangements with the cities which en-
tertain the convention, manage every
thing but the actual proceedings, and
wind up the business affairs after
wards.
The actual work of arranging for the
conventions convenience and comfort
and the convenience and comfort Of
the newspaper men and other specta-
tors is delegated by the national COM
mittee to a subcommittee, and the Off
GERS of the national committee, as
rule, control the expenditures. Pre-
sumably, the accounts are submitted
to the national committee and duly
audited, and, presumably, vouchers are
produced for the expenditure of the
money. But, if so, very little seems
to be known about the accounting, and
some of the political leaders say that
it is not always either rigid or ex-
act
The fact is that the fund for the en-
tertainment of the convention is now
adays made large enough by the city

whose invitation is accepted to leave
a large surplus over and above all nee
essary expenses for the use Of the ma
tional committee in the campaign fol-
lowing, and this makes the party man
agers. unwilling to say definitely what
actual convention expenditures were,
and, perhaps, prevents tho adoption OF
strict requirements as to the account
ing for those expenditures.
OF course, all the convention man
ayers say that there can be no fixed
schedule of convention expenses, be-
cause every convention is different
from every other convection. Altera-
tions in the hall might make the bill
of expenses differ by $4,000 or s10,-
900 from the convention of the other
party in the same year or from a con-
vention before or after. In a rough
way it is possible to make a pretty
good estimate of expenses for what
might be called an average convention
by comparing such fragments Of in
formation as the party managers are
willing to give on the subject.
Certain things are expected by every
national committee of the city which
has he honor to entertain the con-
vention. 1t must. of course, provide
the hall and whatever alterations are
necessary, and the seats and other fur
niture, and the decorations and a num-
ber of incidentals, such as stationery
1t must pay the expenses of engrav-
ing the tickets and providing the
bands of music for the convention
proceedings.
1t must provide for the entertain
ment of the national committee as a
body, with a large suite of the best
hotel rooms as, headquarters" and the
rule is to provide for the entertain
ment of the individual members of the
committee as we'll. The ordinary del
egates must pay their own expenses
or have them paid by their state or
ganizatlon. All they get are few
tickets OF admission each for their
friends, which in some cases have been
sold to meet personal expenses.
The proceedings of the convention
are always reported by stenographers
and published afterwIrd in full, and
this is done at the expense of the host
city. Carriages and other convent
ences, luncheons and other eatables
and drinkables are among the other
items which may be in the convention
expenses. AS a rule the national COM
mittee is asked the highest prices and
does not hesitate to pay them for
whatever 1t thinks necessary.
II the hall has to be rented the rem
tai may vary from $1,000 to So 1000. II
alterations have to be made, as is al
most always the case, they may cost
as much more, and the bill for the dec
orations may be equally large. The
entertainment of the national COM
mittec as a body and us individuals
may cost several thousand dollars.
Music in the convention may take
from $1O0 to $500 a day.
The stenographic work at the Chi
cago convention of 1896 cost about
5000. and the edition of several thou
sand copies of the printed report of
the proceedings cost several thousand
dollars more. The tickets of admis.
sion are always very carefully design
ed and engraved. and are guarded as
jealousy as the most precious Jewels
