The Prohibition party has got its Pres
idential ticket in the field and is prepar-
ing to go through the motions ofa nation
al election. Rev. John G. Woolley, the
great temperance lecturing Methodist
divine, is the Presidential candidate.
Every member of the party, as we'll as
everybody in the country, knows that the
grand total of the result of their efforts
will be the casting few thousand scat
tering votes here and there over the
country for the ticket. In place of gain
ing the party steadily loses stength. More
than that, every man, and woman too,
knows that it is folly to continue this
improbable method of fighting the
liquor business. 1t is weakening prohi-
bition sentiment i'll place of strengthen
ing it in the country.
The rum element laughs at the party
and the politicians fear it no longer. For
over thirty years the separate party
method has been tried and is very much
weaker, polling fewer votes and exerting
less influence than it did years ago. The
Prohibition party has become an old
dwarf, which no sensible person expects
or hopes 10 be of any practical use in this
world. The contempt this little old dwarf
brings on the cause of prohibition Injuries
and binders it in place of helping. 1t has
ceased to have either political or moral
influence.

HE MADE HIS PAPA WEARY.
Little Bobby Floors His Father ON "a
Scientific Question hut Talks
Too Much.


1t was little Bobby..s first ride on a
trolley car, says the Boston Herald,
and he promptly opened up:
Papa, what makes this car COY"
Electricity, Bobby" answered pa
pa, from senind his paper.
What is 'lectricity?''
''Er-it's power they get from bat
teries and dynamos and such things -
Bobby was silent moment and
kept looking out the window. Just
then another car came by and Bobby
commenced again.
rs that funny thing on the top of
the car dynamo, papa?" he asked.
No, Bobby; that's pole"
do they push it with that pole?'
mo"
''Pull it?"
NO"
What is it for, then?"
Don't ask so many questions. That
is where the electricity is carried
from the wire to the chr"
rs it heavy to carry?"
no"
The other passengers were on q
broad grin and papa was in fidget
just then another car passed and
some sparks flashed from the wire.
"Oh, papa, is that pole burnirg?"
asked Bobby, with renewed interest.
Papa, thinking to make the best of
it. sighed and said: NO, my son;
that is caused by. the closing and
breaking of the circuit"
''Does it often break?"
"Yes.
sWho fixes it?"
"Bobby, will you stop asking ques.
tions?"
The frantic effort of the motorman
to stop the car at a down-grade cross
ing next attracted Master Bobby's at
tentlon.
Papa, what's that coffee mill for?''
That's not a coffee mil; it Is the
handle to turn off and on the electric
ity. The man turns it to start end
stop the car"
Does he wind the car up?"
no. For heavens sake, Bobby, will
you be quiet?"
Just then the car stopped suddenly
and the conductor went back hurried
~ to the rear platform. This was too
much for Bobby
Papa, the ear stopped that time
and the man did not turn the grind
err"
"rhe car has slipped its trolley
Then we won't get home, will we?
Certainly; why not?"
Because the other night, when you
didn't get home, Uncle Jack told
mamma he had seen you and you
looked as IL yon had slipped your
trolley"
''We get off here" said Bobby's
father, quickly, and as the car start
ed on its way again even the hum
of the motor did not drown the shrill
shrieks of Bobby. And every individ-
nal woman in the car glanced back
and murmured: THE brute!"

Republican Platforms.

The Republican party is we'll supplied
this year with platforms, having two
bonafide structures of this political archi-
lecture to stand upon, and still the party
is not happy. 1t appears that the head
men at Washington got out the lumber
for the platform and submitted it to Mr..
Mckinley, and the stuff was all approved
by him and pronounced sound and good.
This material was put into the hands of
committee of expert platform builders by
the convention at Philadelphia, who en-
ployed the services of subcommittee
to do the actual framing and mailing
together, preparatory to putting the cam
didates and party on it the next day.
This subcommittee in turn got tired
and sleepy working at the job far in the
night and turned it over to young man
named Quigg, who claimed he was a
newspaper man who had always gang
of stenograpllers and ~ pc writers, skilled
workmen, who never slept.
Newspaper men are well known build
ers of any kind or all kinds of word
structure, platforms, principles for party
use, regulations good, bad or what not,
SO the committee placed the material in
carpenter Quigg's hands and went to bed.
Quigg dumped all their lumber into his
waste basket and got ont new stuff of his
own choosing, and proceeded to bniid
the platform OH which Mckinley and his
fortunes and the Rough Rider" Teddy,
were to float to the haven Of prosperity or
somewhere else.
After the job was completed it was put
into the hands of Senator Foraker to read
before the convention. Mr.. Foraker had
got out of sick bed to take his part in
the drama of Mckinley Prosperity and
was only able TO make mumbling sound
it is charged by some of the Mckinley
papers, which could be heard but ten feet
away. 1t all went, however, and Hanna
waved the audience to rise and cheer the
platform. Delegates got on their feet and
shouted, and the audience seeing the
delegates shouting ard waving their hats
shouted and waved too. And so Quigg's
platform was adopted as the gospel of the
Republican party.
| After all was over and the voice of the
captains and shouting had died away,
and the conventions was dissolved and
gone forever, it was discovered that they
had all been deceived as badly as the
old patriarch; that the voice of Jacob and
the hand of Esau had been played upon
the G. 0. P. And now all is lamentation
and weeping among the high priests
of the grand old party.
The party has two platforms, the fake
one which has been blessed, and the gen.
uine heir of the house of Mckinley which
has been left out III the cold In conse-
quence the faithful are distracted and
promise that Mckinley and Roosevelt
shall make two more platforms in their
letters of acceptance, on which they will
gather the party and deliver battle to the
Philistine Bryan. And SO the G. o. p,
like Bashaw with four tails, will have
four platforms in 1900 with plenty of
standing room for all corners. One for
the bankers and trusts, one for the Eng
lish expansionists, one for the boodlers
and spell-binders and one for poor work
ing men who are easily fooled.

MEANEsT HOTEL MAN.
Notified the Gentlemen That the

1.-THE meanest specimen of a white
man ever met said Leo Doob at the
Hotel Aims the other evening, to a
Chicago Times-Herald reporter, twas
an old fellow who ran hotel in an
interior town in Vermont His son,
who acted as clerk in the hotel, had
inherited his fathers misery char
acter and had been discharged by the
local baseball club, for whom he had
officiated as official umpire, because
he was too stingy to give man his
base on balls.
II arrived at the hotel one evening
and was assigned to a room. / ex-
peeted to meet two friends at the
place in the morning, and we were all
to travel together to this city. After
breakfast / found that the morning
newspaper was kept behind the hotel
counter and doled out to the guests
on request; the Mushroom was locked
tightly, the key in possession of the
clerk, and the hotel pens and ink
were kept locked up until asked for,
for fear of waste. My friends arrived
dDOuO tel CLOCK UudJ morning, ana
we were to leave on the II o'clock
train. We sat in the office to while
the hour away, and a discussion
about the time arose between my two
friends, whose watches varied few
moments. Pulling forth their time
pieces they compared them with the
hotel Office clock. I noticed that the
father and son, proprietor and clerk
of the hotel, were holding an ami
mated whispered conversation, and in
moment the father approached my
friends and said:
e Excuse me, but are you genl'men
stopping at this house?'
"'No.' said my friend, just waiting

old man.

The Convention.

On Thursday evening, when we go to
press, particulars could not be had. A
fact was developed by the tumult of the
convention that there is an irreconcilable
conflict between the money loaning and
debt owning interest in the East, and the
debt paying and debt owing interest of
the West and South. In short the money
question is the future dividing line of
parties, as marked and distinct as slavery
and freedom was forty years ago.
