THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The Republican National conven-
tion is now being held in Philadel-
phia. There are more great men
attending it as delegates than ever
gathered at a similar convention.
Philadelphia and its delegates are
thoroughly enthusiastic for Governor
Roosevelt, the trough rider, . whom
they want, and whom the country
demands shall receive the nomina-
ton for the vice-presidency. If
New York's favorite would stand for
it he would be nominated by accla-
nation, But Roosevelt does not
want to be vice president-he wants
to again be governor of New York.
He evidently believes that to accept
the vice presidency would end his
political career, and Teddy
couldn't stand for that. He un-
Occasionally has his eyes on the
presidency, and is figuring on being
President McKinley's successor.
One state after another has been de-
claring for Roosevelt everybody is
for him but himself Monday even
ing he issued the following formal
statement
'In view of the revival OF the
talk of myself as candidate for vice
president, I have this to say: 1t is
impossible to express too deeply how
touched l am by the devotion of
those delegates who have wished me
to take this nomination. Moreover,
it is not necessary to say how
thoroughly I understand the high
honor and dignity of the office--so
high and honorable that it is well
worthy of the ambition of every man
in the United States.
s.But, whereas [ appreciate all
this to the fullest degree, neverthe-
less I feel most deeply that the field
of my best usefulness to the party
and to the public is in New York
state. and if the party should see fit
to renominate me for governor can
in that position help the national
ticket more than in any other way.
/ very earnestly ask every friend of
mine in the convention to respect
my wishes and my judgment in this
matter.
While some of the party leaders
notably Senator Hanna, are willing
to take Roosevelt at his word, other
delegates insist that for the benefit
of the party. he must accept, and
they will insist on his nomination.
Congressman Dolliver, of Iowa, is
an energetic candidate. Secretary
Long of Massachusetts has strong
following, and other lesser candi-
dates are in the race. The Wiscon-
sin delegation will likely not present
Governor Scofeld's name, but will
be in the Roosevelt column, if the
latter's name is presented.
Chairman Hanna called the con-
vention to order at 1885 yesterday,
and after prayer, the reading of the
call and other formalities made a
stirring speech, after which he
turned over the gavel to the temper
AIRY chairman, Senator Wolcott, of
Colorado. Wolcott made a great
speech, and the convention organ
lied for business.
The convention will renominate
president Mckinley today. and to-
morrow at noon the vice president
will be nominated.
Considerable attention is being
given to the platform, and it will be
strictly in line with the administra-
tive policy as outlined in the four
years in which president Mckinley
has been in Office 1t will declare
for a protective tariff, sound
money, expansion anu other republi-
can national issues.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1900-06-20

WHILE the republicans of the
country would be enth usiastic for
Mckinley and Roosevelt vet it seems
that the national convention ought
to plainly see that the latter can
best serve the party by again being
a candidate for governor of the En-
-pire s5oa-e.

SINCE County Judgs Howard Ben
ton has teen kicked out of the demo-
cratic party because he refused to
longer swallow free si'ver-coated
garlic, and eat anti-imperialistic
fodder, the democratic party Of Bay

4PPROPRIATE.

Once in awhile real appropriate thing is done, and when such thing is done it ought to be generally pro- claimed and commended. It is an nounced that Professor Glazenap and a committee of the Russian Astronomical society have elaborated an entirely new calendar which they hope will be uni- versally adopted. This calendar pro- vides common year of exactly 365 days and leap years of 366 days. The system is so near the real solar year that no more than one days difference can occur in 10000 years. If the Prot estant States of the West do not adopt this system and Russia does the latter, instead of being thirteen days behind, will be one day in advance now and two days in advance for 1920 The committee proposes also the naming of March Peace" in honor of The Hague conference.
 Isn't it appropriate to name month Peace in honor of peace con- ference that accomplished so much for peace, and isn't it especially appropriate to choose March as the month to name "Peace?"

Several years ago hunting party made up of Kansas City men went into that country on trip after big game, for there are plenty of deer in there ever now and at that time bears Were numerous. When they got up into the honey country they began figuring o1i the fortunes to be made out of it, and having heard of the Devils Punch Bowl, locally known as Devils Sink IIole," they decided to go and see 1t and if pots- sible devise some scheme whereby they might get the tons of honey it con- tainod
 When they reached it, like every one else, seeing it for the first time, they were amazed at the proportions of the Wondel; Q hole forty feet in diameter yawn'ng open in the middle of a wide vol'ty, with a perfect torrent of bees rushing up from it like dirt blown from some mighty blast and all the while a roaring loud as that of a great cataract; looking down into the abyss, for the hole Widens immediately below the sur face they saw the festoons of hone. hanging there which the bees had strung along the sides of their marl- moth hive after they had filled the hid den grottoes. and through the upwcrI sWarms could he seen the Gleans of combs built 1o doubt many years be- fore.--Del-Rio (Tex.)

aghans report says: I was told that firm named Bach & Co.,, in Buchholz, Saxony, sold ;n one year 10000 wheels at any price between 65 and 175 marks ($20.23 and $41.65) It was said that these wheels came from Chicago. It is also claimed that they did more to injure the importation of good Ameri- can wheels than anything else. Last year Germany was strong competi- tor of England in the latter's home and colonial markets. In the first nine months Germany sent to England H. 762 bicycles: to Australia, 2,S80; and to British East Indies. 1,452. To meet this competition the. manufacturers of England combined to reduce the price of their wheels. Germans fear that next spring will see large shipments of American wheels to this market.
 United States bicycle makers can make as good bicycles as anybody. They must make good ones and sell them at reasonable prices if they want their foreign trade to expand.

TROUBLE IN PHILA DELPHII.

There is trouble in the peaceful town rather unusual kind. Of course there is woman in it. There is also a wood- en leg in it. The wooden leg was the property and the support of the wo- mans, first husband. When he died she was so overcome with grief that she wanted to always remember the dear departed and to help her remem- Der him she saved the wooden leg which he was wont to wear. This leg she kept in prominent place in the parlor where her mournful eyes could easily see it and her soft heart be touched by it. After awhile she thought she would get married again and her new love and her new joy so repaired her broken heart that she felt she could get along without constantly seeing the dear old wooden leg. So it was taken out of the parlor, and the new man with two good legs became the object of her interest and affection, But only for awhile. She found that after the sweetness of the new honeymoon was exhausted her heart was still true to the wooden leg she had loved so long and well. So she put it back in its old familiar place in the parlor and is much happier than she has been. But the new husband is not pleased with the situation. He wants the wooden leg removed, and though his wife has refused to remove it he Is foolish enough to think that she will sell it, and he wants somebody to make her an offer for it. Mistaken man. Of course she will not sell the leg she loves. and the new husband is an idiot to think she will He is also an idiot not to be satisfied with wife who will content herself with being loyal to wooden leg. He might have married woman who would have wanted some thing living to love when she had tired of him,

FASHION NOT ES.
Neyyness the Great Point.

The demand for newness in dress trimmings is so pressing that those who answer it do not hesitate at cost or oddity. So the product is plainly new and not in bad taste, there will be ad- mirers a-plenty, some of them with money enough to purchase. With some of these decorations the purchasers can be but a small portion of those who covet the new fancies, for the latter are very expensive, the reasonable cost of rich materials being increased by the big premium always put in dress matters on novelty A new notion that is finely decorative, and whose price isn't quite prohibitive is the trick of strapping velvet with cloth and apply ing it with stenciled cloth designs. It is very eWasger. Tafieta is also cut in elaborate designs and laid on velvet
 As a rule the cloth matches the velvet, but sometimes cloth of contrasting color is used In mind is rose colored velvet overlaid with black cloth, the cloth figures being outlined with white stitching. Black cloth on black velvet makes very handsome combination for street and calling, This is the time of year to invest in such a cos tune, which may be worn as soon as the temperature is kindly, without spring jacket, until all chances of chill dressing in unprotected light cloth than there has been in recent seasons, for though cloth of delicately light weave

 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier: l It will interest the numerous disciples of Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, to know that he was not only a statesman, but an earn est student of science and well up with the scientific knowledge of his day. His quick attention to suck matters is illus trated by his immediate interest in the then new discovery of vaccination The fret person vaccinated in Amer ica was Daniel Oliver Waterhouse, the five-year- old son of pr. Benjamin Wa terhouse of Boston. The vaccination was made on the eighth day of July, I1S00. Within the two months following Dr. Warehouse had vaccinated fifty others indiecriminately as to age, sex or condition. The publication of this pro- ceeding gave occasion to numerous in- quries from all parts of the country Among his correspondents was the President of the United States. The fol- lowing letter is selected at random from dozen or more found among the pa- pers of pr. Waterhouse. It evidently was not the first letter:
 Washington July 25 1901
 Dear Sir:
 Your favor of the 17th arrived last night together with the new vaccine matter which was immediately sent to pr. Can't. The End as well as the first supply of matter had failed We hope the 3rd will be more successful. How might it answer to put the matter into phial of the smallest size, well corked & immersed in a larger one filed with water & well corked. It would be ef1 fectually preserved against the air, and doubt whether the water would per init so great degree of heat to pene- trate to the inner phal as 1t does when 1t is in the open air. It would get cool every night and shaded every day un- der the cover of the stage, it might per haps succeed

My, own is entirely exempt from that danger Should you be so good as to continue forwarding matter till it succeeds, 1t will now be best to address the packages to Dr, Can't, from whom, so soon as he suc- ceeds, 1 shall ask a transmission of fresh matter to Monticello, where I shall endeavor to introduce 1t. It will be great service indeed rendered to human nature to strike off from the catalogue of it's evils so great one ae the small pox. I know of no one d.scov- cry in medicine equally valuable.

4 MORTG 4GE TAX BILT.

That is warm and important protest which is made against the mortgage tax-bill that is now before the New
 York legislature. The object of this bill is to make the holder of the mortgage pay the tax but many clear-eyed people see that whatever the law might be the mortgager. So they are oposing the bill Also in opposition to the bill are societies and organizations which have to do with mortgages in the insurance part of their business. These societies have at least five hundred thousand members in the State of New York alone: Catholic Benevolent society of Brooklyn, Independent Order of Bnai Birth, Catholic Mutual Benefit society of Brooklyn, Catholic Relief and Benev- olent association of Auburn, Chosen Friends, Home Circle, Jewellers League Knights of Honor, Knights of Pythias, Knights and Ladies of Honor Legion of Honor, Royal Arcanum, Royal Tenn plars of Temperance, Sons of Benjamin, Kosher Shol Barzel, Templars of Liber- ty, Order of United Friends, Ancient Order of United Workmen and Order of Berith Abraham
 If this bill becomes a law 1t will hit a great many people right where they live so many that perhaps the legislators will not feel like passing the bill
