riod Of time In which to educate voters In
the questions at issue. In England where
the electoral campaigns never exceed q
few weeks, NOBODY complains. that too lit
tie time Is given TO inform the electors,as
to,the ISSUES. Ii this age OF newspapers
and electric telegraphs people keep them
selves Informed OF events which shape
party policies and which give form and
substance to the deliberations OF noml-
mating conventions. Immediately after
the nominations are made and the plat
form is announced the people are ready
for the political missionaries. The can
vass conld. therefore, begin within q day
after the adjournment OF the convention.
Another fault Of early conventions is
that they sometimes prevent the orderly
choice OF delegates. Neither is 1t deslra-
BILE to hold State conventions prior to the
assembling OF the national meeting. II
would at least prevent the absurdity pf a
reassembling Of the state convention for
the purpose Of repudiating prior declara-
lions and putting the party on the ma

the case In number Of states, + ,, N

A PRETTY BILL.

When we gave Spain go, ono, 900 for some

liver, the Philippine Islands, we made on

account. t.. ..
The total net loss In money to us by
this venture to say nothing OF the infin-
itely greater loss that we have already
sustained by reason of our departure from
the true principles Of our government,
and the lives of many Of our noble boys,
no man can compute.
The house Of representatives, recently
sent a resolution of inquiry TO the secre-
tary of war to ascertain how much the
campaigns in the Philippines had cost up
to datein dollars and cents. That official
has sent reply which Ia interesting.

This Man Knew q Steamboat w Wnem
He Saw One.
The agent of one of the ocean steam
ship lines, says the Chicago Tribune,
told the following story of a st. Louis
man who got into New York the day
after the maiden arrival of a great
liner:
After gazing at the vessel from the
pier the st. LouisaD said to the man at
the gangplank:
"Purty good sized steamboat"
"She's liner, ocean liner" was the
lofty reply.
"She's purity high up, amt she"
"Ocean liners have to be. But when
she is under way she doesn't look so
high"
"Her chimneys amt very high,
though"
"You mean her tunnels. No; they
never make them high for liners"
Hinges on 'em?"
"Never heard of hinges on funnel"
"How does she get under the
bridge?"
what brldge?"
"Why, any bridge. Steamboats, out
our way have hinges on their chin
neys, and when they come to the
bridges over the river they lower the
chimneys, and she scoots under like
she was creased"
The man at the gangplank observed
the St Louis man with lofty indiffcr-
encc.
'She amt got any Warehouses; on
her sides nor none at her stern re-
marked the st. Louis man after he had
made further inspection.
Liners have propellers," said the
man at the gangplank, and his nose
turned up visibly.
"Well, I'll bet she can't run, 1t takes
two wheels and bow like an arrow

1t. If this steamboat was to get into
