The Vice Presidency.

(From the Minneapolis TimeS.)
With the exception of few feeble squeaks for
Western men. it seems to be regarded a part
of the unwritten law of the land that the Repub
lican candidate for the Vice Presidency must hail
from Mr. Platts State. And, it may be remarked
in passing the Democrats are not in much better
plight. Now. this is good broad country, so
why should New York be regarded the only
source OF Republican Vice Presidential timber?
To be sure, it has more electoral votes than any
other State, more votes in the convention, and
is the centre of wealth, but parties have done
very well with Vice Presidential candidates from
other States. With the Presidential candidate
from the East-for Ohio is much Eastern
State as Pennsylvania-it would seem fair TO
choose Vice Presidential nominee from the Cen
trail West. 1t would he refreshing to Western
voters to find that their Republican guides and
guardians had declared their Independence of Mr..
Platt in the one matter of the Vice Presidency

PREDICTED HIS OWN DEATH.
An Illinois Minister Expires Within
the Appointed Week.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Jan. 22.-Rev
Harvey has been the pastor of the Metho-
dist Church at Eaton several years. Last
Sunday he preached a very affecting SER
mon to his congregation, saying that it
was the last that he would ever address to
them, as he would die before another Sun
day rolled around. He was apparently in
the best of health, and his statement caus-
ed the most intense surprise. He said that
he never felt better, but he was sure that
he would not live until another Sabbath.
Within a short time after reaching his
home he was taken i'll and grew steadily
worse until early Saturday, when he died.
His disease appeared to be fever. but did
not present the form of a malignant type,
yet he sank under it gradually from the
first.
Mr.. Harvey was ffty-eight years old and
had been in the ministry thirty seven
years.

There is no other Government so we'll fitted to

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

Web. Davis in Africa.-It can be
being made by the sensational section CT
the New York press that Assistant See.e-
tary of the Interior Webster Davis is in
South Africa at the instance OF President
Mckinley is utterly without foundation.
This assertion is based on an intimate
knowledge of the causes that ccnspired 10
get Mr.. Davis out of Washington at the
present time. Ii is true. that the Presi-
dent gave him an indefinite leave Of alb
sence. but Mr.. Mckinley did not even
know 10 what part of the globe the AS
sistant Secretary was going wnen lie
granted the leave. The plain truth Is
that Mr.. Davis relations in the Interior
justice to his self-respect he had either
to resign or go away for long trip. His
close friends do not expect him to return
to America until the Presidential cam
paign is under full swing and then he will
take the stump and be in Washington as
little as possible. Hence, Mr. Davis visit
to South Africa is not even remotely con-
nected with whatever purposes the Admin
istration may have in the British-Boer
war.
A double reason is assigned for Mr.. Da-
Wis announced determination to visit the
Boer country and capital. The first is for
the collection OF data on which to base
series OF lectures, out of which he hopes
to make some money when he leaves office
next autumn, and the second is TO join his
friend, Eugene EastOn, the only American
newspaper correspondent within the Boer
lines

1t is observable that ever since the I'M
timely death of General Lawton. the in
surgents in the southern part OF Luzon
have been getting obstreperous and trou-
blesome again. The reason, no doubt is,
that Otis is again conducting" a campaign
from his palace window. During the last
months of Lawton's life it was understood
that Otis was under orders to defer to
him in all matters of field operations. This
action was taken by the Administration
as a compromise between the national de-
mand for Otis removal, and the pleadings
of an influence for some reason interested
in perpetuating the OtisDenby regime in
Manila. But Lawton is dead, and the
Governor General appears to be at his old
tricks again.

sparsely settled lands and the peculiar
patriarchal system of plantation life made
ii possible, and where owing to the plan
of civilization, good horses were necessi-
ty, the fox-hunt was a popular amuse-
ment, but even there it was never as gen.
eral as in England. Nowadays there are
some rich men who are establishing game
preserves, in which they are carefully
collecting American birds and animals;
and this is a good thing, for the land
selected for such uses is not likely to be
good for much else. A large part OF the
New England States may be used for this
purpose during the next fifty years. That
region cannot compete with the West and
South in agriculture or stock raising; the
land is not good enough. 1t cannot be alto

the factories of the future must be some

try is diversified and picturesque, and the

Carnegie's "Open Purse."-Despite

bic for the statement that Andrew
Carnegie is willing 10 reopen it and pour
This Senator had a long talk with Mr.
Carnegie during the Christmas holidays,
and the multi millionaire made some in
teresting assertions TO the statesman.
"As firm a supporter as am OF the single
gold standard said Mr.. Carnegie, II
would be only too glad, if such thing
were possible, to see the fight of 1896
waged all over again this year. and |
would give literally to the Bryan cam
paign or course the gold bill is going
to become a Law, and that will eliminate
the currency as the most important issue
of this years campaign. IL the Democrats
will come out boldly against expansion

funds. Whatever money is needed after
they have exhausted their usual sources
will be freely contributed by me. | would
prefer to have Bryan in the White House
with a Democratic Congress at his back
to undo the work of currency reform. than
to see Mckinley there with the power to
hold the territory conquered from Spain"
The Senator related to Col. Bryan at the
Capitol last week the conversation he had
had with Mr.. Carnegie and this is said to
have steeled the Nebraskan's determina-
ton to invade the enemy's country at
all hazards.

Eryan New York.-It is generally
believed that the lively rumpus Colonel
Bryans visit has raised in the New York
Democracy was deliberately planned by
both factions OF the party before he start
ed East. 1t is also thought that the vic
tory of Jacob Rupert over Amos Cum
mings in the contest for place on the
National Congressional Committee was the
first assertion of the oppostion's firm de-
termination to contest every inch of the
ground with the Bryanites. Richard Crok-
er is being credited with the utmost sim
cerity in his announced support Of Bryan,
and it is therefore thought that the fight
now on presages one of the bitterest in
ternecine struggles in the history of Tam
many. 1t is believed that the development
OF unexpected strength by the opposition
will cut short Croker's visit to Europe
and that he will come home within a month
and apply himself to the task of whipping
all of the Tammanyites into line Crok-
er's fortunes. ii is claimed are irretrieva-
bly, interlocked with Bryans and the de-
feat of the Nebraskan in the New York
delegation would mean a new boss for
played that former Governor Hill is strong
ly suspected OF being its leader under COW
er. This leads 10 the prospect of a titanic
struggle between the old factions for the
mastery in New York this year. II Hill
wins il is considered not improbable that
his victory would lead to an organized re-
volt TO Bryan in all the States north of
the Potomac and east of the Alleghenies
which might necessitate abrogation OF the
time honored wO-thirds rule to make the
Nebraskaus nomination possible in the
National Convention. Already there is
some agitation of this matter in the West,
but as the rule is regarded as fixed prin
ciple of Democratic conventions there is
not much likelihood of its abrogation.
When Colonel Bryan was here last week
the subject was broached TO him by a
friend, but he refused to discuss il. His
silence is popularity interpreted to mean
willingness on his part to have the rule
abrogated in the event that that becomes
necessary to save him.

Chase of a Philadelphia Woman Aft CT Pug That Had Taken
 Her M0Iars.

Philadelphians on Diamond street were very much hinterestedtheo other day in watching the chaseof ayoung woman stylishly dressed after pug dog, re- ports an exchange of that city. The wind was high and during gust that came around a corner the young wom- m sneezed, gently at first, and then with some degree of violence. A cry of alarm escaped her lips as something resembling a string of pearls fell from her mouth to the pavement. For an instant the object glittered on the side walk, when the frisky dog bounded to the spot, picked up the glistening thing and bounded off again.
 Brushing, the girl, in her perplexity, cast wistful glance at the dog in the distance. Quickly she placed her trem- bling hand over her mouth and kept it there, while she started in pursuit of the dog. The chase was exciting. Pedestrians paused to watch. After many turns, rushes, dodges and halts the pretty maiden caught the dog at Tenth street. The animal fell pros trate at her commands.
 Drop it, Fido; drop it!" she cried.
 The dog obeyed, opened its mouth and dropped upon the pavement with great reluctance the proud maiden's set of false teeth.
