This years convention of the Ohio
Democrats was the smallest for the
past quarter of a century. Yet,
Chairman Jones predicts Democrats
success in Ohio this year.
The farm price of wheat on De-
cember LIST in each year Of President
Cleveland's Administration averaged
SAL cents per bushel. Under the Nc
Kinley Administration the average
price has been 67.5 cents per bushel,
an increase Of 25 per cent over the
Democratic price.
Hon. John r. Mclean is going
abroad this year and the Ohio dele
CATION to the Democratic convention
viii have to pay its own way. This
renders the heavy charges Of the
Kansas City hotel keepers all the
more distressing.
The Democrats of Milwaukeeh have
nominated Peck's Bad Boy for Con-
gress. Representative Lentz was a
sufiicieney in that particular line.
His patient and laborious work aud
the successful result of the war with
Spain alone entitle President McKin-
ley to reelection at the hands of the
people.
Idle men, tramps and Coxey's
armies furnish but poor markets
for farm produce.
DO not lose sight Of the Dingley bill
as having been passed under this Adj
ministration. 1t opened the mills
and gave wage-earners a chance to
again earn a living.

THE WOMAN QUESTION.

The question of woman in the
General Conference is practically
settled. The recent session was
saved serious trouble by the mag
nanlmous withdrawal of Mrs. Nc
Mahan, who was elected a provision
al delegate from the Illinois Confer
ence. She declined to present her
credentials least she should compli- =
cate and imperil the issue of equal
lay and ministerial representation.
When the discussion of the proposed
organic lawzwas before the confer
ence this phase OF the woman ques-
ton was brought to notice by the
following paragraph on "lay dele
gates:
Any layman twenty-five years of
age, or over, holding membership in
pastoral charge within the bounds
of the lay electoral conference, and
having been a lay member of the
church five years next preceding,
shall be eligible to election Of the
General Conference.
The discussion turned upon the
use of the word "layman, which
by past usage had been decided to be
ambiguous. The conference decided
to have no ambiguity and, after a
vigorous debate, secured the change
to ''lay member This, it was adj
mitted, would make women eligible
if the article were adopted. With
the other provisions of the new con-
stitution this paragraph has been
sent down to the annual conferences
for their approval or disapproval.
The document will no doubt be APP
proved, and a sprinkling of sisters
may be expected in the next quad
rennial legislature.

r4H LoNLlnsr WOMAN.
She's From Washington and Lives
Amonu the Seals.


She's From Washington and Lives
Among the Seals.
without doubt the loneliest woman
that is to say, the one furthest re
moved from her kind-in all these
United States Of America, is Mrs.
Clark Of Washington, the wife of Ma
jor e. w. Clark, Government agent of
the Pribylof or Seal Islands in the
Behring Sea.
This group, composed of the two
small islands Of st. Paul and st.
George, are the homes of nearly all
the seals remaining in existence, and
they are about 1900 miles west of
the entrance of Puget Sound, and
about 200 miles northwest of the
Aleutian Islands, beginning at Uni
max Pass. st. George, which is the
smaller of the two. being about by
12 miles in extent, is 40 miles from
St. Paul, and it has a population of
about 100 Aleuts and four or FIVE
whites, consisting of Major Clark and
his wife, a physician, and two or
three clerks of the North American
Commercial Company, which controls
the seal business, and has stores and
warehouses on both islands The
little village of st. George contains
25 or SO houses, including the com
pany's buildings. the agents house
and a Greek church.
There are no other houses on the
islands. and Mrs. Clark is the only
white woman. Her home is a small
cottage of four rooms, very cozy and
comfortable, with books and pictures,
and fine outlook over the sea. She
does no cooking in her own home, as
the Government officials take their
meals at the company house near by.
Mrs. Clark's nearest neighbor is the
wife of the agent on st. Paul, who
is less lonely because she has with
her two small children, Mrs Clark s
children being grown and having their
own homes in the States
There is no communication between
the islands, except by one of the com
pany's ships and by revenue cutters,
as other ships are not permitted to
visit the islands. These ships come
only in the summer, and from Octo-
ber until June Mrs. Clark does not
expect to see any one or hear any
thing from the United States. or to
send word home, no matter what hap
pens. Sickness, death, disaster may
come to her far off in that forbidding
sea, or may visit her own at home
but no word may come or go until
navigation is resumed.
St George is absolutely without
trees, but its rolling surface and noun.
tains, l 900 feet high, are beautifully
green with coarse grass and moss
and wild flowers of brilliant hues dot
the level stretches near the sea.
Blue foxes abound, and over the rocks
at the waters edge thousands and
thousands of seals in ceaseless activ.
ity dissport themselves noisily day
and night, from June until December
while millions of water fowl fill the
air and the sea and fiutter about the
cliffs. Three hundred days in the
year the weather is dark and dismal
and fogs hide the islands for days
at time. The cold is never exces
sive, but the winter storms are Sc
we're, and terrific gales sweep over sea
and land. There is no harbor, and
ships come to anchor a mile or more
from shore.-Washingto Star.

"HAIR sABBATARIANlsM'

This is the taunt applied to a par
ty of Christian Endeayorers, num-
bering one hundred aud fifty, from
Chicago and points west Of it, who
arranged for SPECIAL train to take
the members through to Boston,
where the convention is to be held.
When the transportation schedule
was received it was found that the
train was to depart from Chicago at
1:30 p M. Sunday, July 1. The
consciences of the leaders of the
party rebelled. The consequences
was that the officers of the Nickel
Plate, West Shore, and Boston and
Albany Railroads were compelled to
to rearrange their time cards
so as to start the train from Chicago
as 13 :01 on Monday morning, July 2.

THE HOUSE rs SAFE
Richardson Says Republicans Make Big Claims
to Keep Up Their Spirits,
(By the Associated Press

=
Washington, Nov. chairman Rich
ardson, of the Democratic National Con-
gressional committee. tonight made the
following statement as to the next House
of Representatives:
1--WE are absolutely certain that the
next House will be Democratic. and we
believe that the Republican leaders we'll
know it. many prominent Republicans
having admitted it, The majority will
be a good safe one, at least %. This
committee has not deemed it wise to go
into detailed estimates showing the dis
tricts they are confident of carrying, or
those that they are making fight for,
for the reason that we do not wish to
invite greater opposition, or arouse the
Republicans to concentrate their forces
in those districts where our Democratic
candidates are making hopeful battle.
THE wisdom of this must be apparent
to every good Democrat, and is certain
ly appreciated by every intelligent man.
The claims of the Republicans that, they
expect to carry the House by decided
majority is all for political effect. The
prominent men of the party have con-
coded for some time past that the situa-
ton was desperate and probably hopeful
so far as the House was concerned. and
the claims now are made to keep their
spirits up

A Card to the Public
To the Editor:


Hon. d. Moreau Barringer was Dem
ocratic State chairman when the State
was first redeemed after the war by
electing the Legislature of 1870 that
impeached Gov. Holden. He was de-
feated for nomination for Governor by
Merriman in 1872.
Cox as chairman led the party in
1874 and saved the State in 1875. Jar
Wis was nominated for Lieutenant Gov
ernor over him in 1876.
Ashe led in many successful cam
paigns, but got nothing except the
Raleigh postoffice in 1885.
We won several victories under the
leadership of Battle and he was never
been rewarded.
Octavius Coke spent thousands to
carry the State in 1882, but Scales re-
ceived the nomination for Governor
over him IN 1884.
Chambers Smith has been twice de-
feated for nomination for Congress
by f. w. Pou since he led us to vic
tory in 1890
Simmons was rewarded with the
best paying office at the disposal of
his party, to-wit: the collectorship of
Internal Revenue for four years for
his services in 1892. He had previous
ly been given two terms in Congress.
He has been better paid for party SER
vices already than any chairman who
has served since 1868.
Neither Merriman nor Vance, Ran
som nor Jarvis ever qualified for Sen
ator by serving as chairman. Aycocll
rendered similar services by his can
vass of last year to that which won
the place for the four great Demo-
Gratis who have filled it.

A SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION.
Parade at Chicago the Most Successful Ever
Managed by the Local Democracy.
(By the Associated Press,


Chicago, Nov. 3.-When w. j. Bryan
stepped down tonight from the reviewing
stand at the intersection of Plymouth
place and Jackson boulevard, from which
he had watched tonight's Democratic
parade, and left for his home in Lin
coin, the Democratic campaign in Chicago,
Cook county and the State of Illinois was
practically over For hours after Mr..
Bryan had gone the cheering thousands
swept down the boulevard, for it was
great parade-the greatest and most sue
cessful affair of the kind ever managed
by the local Democracy. 1t was intend
ed to be the browning effort of Mr..
Bryan's followers in Chicago and the
county of Cook. and it was realiza
ton all that the most ardent Democrat
could have desired.
The weather was perfect and clear,
bright moonlight night, with cool breeze
blowing off Lake Michigan. The streets
were filled with cheering multitudes that
packed the sidewalks, the windows and
found points of vantage upon tops of
street cars and the roofs of buildings.
1t would be difficult to tell which cheer
ed the more-the crowd of marchers or
the crowd of onlookers, but while the
parade was in progress the streets gave
forth one continuous roar of human
voices, punctuated by shrill blasts from
tin horns and the crash of music from
the bands All along the line of march,
which was confined entirely to the down.
town streets, men had been stationed
with unlimited supplies of red fire and
positive injunctions to keep her burn
ing" The orders were obeyed to the let
ter, and the yellow CLEANS from the
torches of the marchers were, through
out many portions of the route, made in
significant by the crimson glare from
many fires all along the sidewalks.
Upon the reviewing stand stood Mr..
Bryan, Senator James K. Jones, chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, Mayor Harrison and a number
of lesser lights of the Democracy. The
greetings extended to the Democratic
candidate by the men in the line of march
were enthusiastic in the extreme.
The parade was divided into three
army corps. The three corps were given
precedence in the line of march accord
ing to the number of men they were able
to bring into line, and as the west side
is as large as both the north and south
sides combined, this corps easily secured
the post of honor. Directly behind the
commander of the first corps came De
Baugh's Band of fifty pieces, and then
the Cook County Democratic Marching
Club, an organization that always pre-
sents magnificent appearance.
There were Bryan clubs, Bryan leagues,
and Bryan and Alshculer clubs and
leagues seemingly without limit. Even in
the command of Gen. Mcdonald. whose
men came chiefly from wards in which
all elections are eternally and hopelessly
Republican, the members of the ward
clubs were present in full force Great
numbers of transparencies were carried,
many of the sentiments evoking much
laughter and amusement.
