Another one of those stock trains,

sisted of ten carloads this time. Mr..
w. E. Hensley, of Greeley, had one
car of cattle in the train and Vic
Anciaux, of the same locality, had
two carloads. These gentlemen took
short vacation and went with the
stock and then Frank Hensley went
along to see that they got to their
destination safely, and to take
plunge with them in the cooling
waters of Lake Michigan.

The TKro-Thirda RuIe.

At the Kansas City Convention a new
issue. which would certainly have at
tracted general attention, came near being
sprung on the Democracy. This issue
would not have concerned any other party,
since it involved simply a question Of in
ternal polity
During the session OF the Committee on
Rules Of this Convention it was proposed
that the abolition OF the two-thirds rule,
which had so long prevailed in the nomi-
nation OF Democratic candidates. be rec
commended; or, rather, that this two thirds
rule be excepted from the rules reported
TO the Convention. The subcommittee
selected to draw the report was about
evenly divided on the proposition, and
when the question was presented to the
full committee a lively discussion arose
as to the expediency OF the proposed ac-
ton. Mr.. Anderson, Of West Virginia, and
the member from Maryland, leading the
opposition to the proposed change in the
rule urged that 1t was question that
had not been agitated, and which, il in
jected into the proceedings OF the Con-
Yention, would preeipitate debate and per-
haps dissension on a question OF no i'm
mediate or pressing Importance, and that a
rule OF such long standing should not be
abandoned without serious and careful con-
sideration. They succeeded in convincing
the committee OF the inexpediency of rec
ommending the proposed change, but not
until a proposition had been made as
compromise and afterward withdrawn,
that the question of dispensing with the
''two-thlrds" requirement be submitted
by the National Convention to the several
State conventions to be hereafter held for
an expression OF opinion on the subject
This rule by which two-thirds of the
whole membership is required to nominate
candidates is almost as old as the con-
vention system itself. and has been the
subject of much difference OF opinion
among members Of the party. 1t has been
said that the rule is undemocratic, 1t
being a principle OF democracy that the
majority should rule, and this is the main
objection that has been urged against its
retention. But 1t is hardly fair TO say
that the restriction. self-imposed as it is,
by which two thirds of the membership
must be east for the nominee is violaJive
OF the right of the majority to rule. It
IS unlike the question presented at the
polls where the will of the majority. or
even OF a plurality, determines who shall
represent the people or administer the
Government 1t is rather question of
policy, and looks to the surest means Of
securing unanimity in the party. The
theory that the majority should prevail is
no just reason that bare majority of that
majority should select its candidates. A
majority of the majority might still be a
small minority OF the whole plass of the
voters The purpose Of the two-thirds rule.
therefore, is 10 ensure the selection OF
candidates upon whom the party would be
practically united, this object being essen
tial to success where there is anything
like an even division between the pre-
dominant parties. The rule in practice

EXPENDITURES OF THE NAVY
Annual Report of the Auditor for
the Department.

The auditor for the Navy Department
has submitted to the Secretary OF the
Treasury his annual report of expenditures
OF the Navy for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1900. The total amount expended is
shown TO have been 81 .971. 600.
Only s32,576 for prize claims in the
Spanish-American war was paid, the great
bulk of these claims being delayed await
ing action of the courts. The report says
that the prize money work OF this office
will probably be heavy during the present
fiscal year. but that it will be promptly
disposed of.
The auditor devotes great deal of his
report to showing the inequality Of the
salaries Of his clerical force as compared
with those OF the auditors of the Treasury,
State, Interior, and War Departments and
the manner in which. in his opinion, the
force OF his Office should be classified.
In concluding the auditor says that on
June 30. last, the unusually large sum OF
$40. SIS. 224 was carried to the surplus fund
from unexpended naval appropriations. OF
the s25.000.000 appropriated for an emer-
gency fund $4,000. coo was returned to the
Treasury. OF the s2647 900 appropriated
for vessels of the United States auxiliary
naval force s2.25O.000 has been returned,
and of $275. goo for naval coast signal sys-
tenn $3.50 600 has been returned.
The amount expended for the increase Of
the navy in 1900 was 1898 .243. leaving a
balance unexpended of this fund June 80.
last, OF 80, T49, 122. The appropriation for
this purpose for 1901 was $17.S15, 500, max

Tic Full Dinner Pail

There is a certain red, yellow. and blue
weekly. in color at least, a brilliant expon-
ent Of Republican doctrines, which iIlum-
mates the borders of its cartoons with pic
lures of tin buckets on which are in
seribed the legend: -Four years more of
the full dinner pail" This paper has few
pages Of printed matter interspersed
among its absurd pictorial caricatures:
but it is safe 10 say that the portion OF
the words which are inserted in and made
part of the pictures. 1t is well for the
success Of the journal that it is not read.
Americans win submit to great imposl-
tion. but they would not endure that.
This magazine is found chiefly in the
rear tables in coffee houses or on the
window siils of barber shops where wait
ing customers may be amused for a
moment with Its extravagances. An I'M
wary man may read it once, but will not
be caught the second time. So, to make
sure Of its victim. its lofty sentiments
must be forced on his attention by means
Of the pictorial art. From now until the
election the observer not the reader, Of
this journal of civilization is TO be RECALLED
