For Which Are You?
St. Louis Republic.


1t is significant fact that Con
gressman DeArmOnd's speech at the
democratic harmony dinner OF the
National Civic Club OF Brooklyn. in
which he urged democrats to forget
all other differences and stand solid
in opposition to imperialism, should
have created profoundly favorable
impression on the minds of eastern
Democrats.
Mr.. De Almonds : hearers are also
probably correct in believing that the
Missouri Congressman sounded the
Democratic keynote of the next cam
paign with his impassioned utterance,
Il am for the Republic and against the
Empire a." This is far more than a skill
fully conceived catch-phrase to tickle
the ear and to capture the imagina-
ton. 1t indicates the choice to be
made by Americans i'll the approach
ing elections-we must decide
between the Imperialism OF the pres
ent administration and the democra-
cy upon which the Republic was foun-
ded and through which alone may its
existence as free government be per-
petuated.
Mr.. De Almonds temperamental
characteristic must havs added force
to his argument on the occasion men
toned. He is not of that nature to
surrender to the temptation which
leads orators to depend for their
effects upon cunning word-mongering.
His mind is clear, deliberate and log
ical in it's methods. He appeals to
reason of his listeners rather than to
| their passions The New York Herald
says of his Brooklyn speech that it
was generally conceded to be the
most impressive effort of the evening
and State Senator McCarren of Kings
County, New York, who does not
agree with Mr.. De Almond on all
issues, declares that 1T was a
splendid speech, full of logic and well
expressed"

KANSAS CITY POLITICS.
Chief Interest in the National COnven.
tiOn---State Politics Up.


Kansas City, Mo, Feb. 9.-Both
the politicians and business men OF
this city are bending their energies to
the task of securing the location of
the next national democratic cOnven-
tion. This contest seems to have
narrowed down to the two cities of
Milwaukee and Kansas City. and
every Missourian is warmly the friend
of Kansas City. The opinion is being
daily strengthened here by the trend
of events that the chances of Kansas
City have materially improved, and
there will be no abatement of all
proper efforts to make this Young
giant city of western Missouri win
ner.
State politics is beginning to at
tract the attention of the people of
Jackson county. The forty-two votes
of this county are necessarily an i'm
portantefactor in any state conyen-
ton, and are sought after by all OF
the candidates, from governor to
railroad commissioner.
In contest for state delegates the
two opposing forces of the democratic
party are usually marshaled under
the leadership of Joe Shannon on the
one side, and James Pendergast on
the other. 1t is very unusual for
these contestants for local control to
agree upon the candidacy of any
aspirant for a state Office. The last
week, however, has made it plain
that both of these elements of the
party are earnestly supporting the
candidacy of Mr.. Dockery for Cover
nor Both of them have made public
announcements OF their loyalty to
his interests. 1t may be accepted,
therefore, as fact that Jackson
county will cast her full vote for
Dockery, and the strong probabilities
at this time are that her support will
also be given with the same unanim-
ity to Crow for Attorney General, and
to Cook for Secretary of State.
The local sentiment does not seem
to have crystalized with any very
great distinctness as to Lieutenant
Governor, Auditor, Treasurer OF
Railroad Commissioner. The gentle
men who secure Jackson county E
delegation for either of these posi-
tions. will yet have to win his spurs.
There has been no sufficient crystali-
zation of public sentiment to sustain
any reliable OF inion as to the out
come of these four positions.
The Republic has recently pro-
pounded queries to the democratic
press OF the state as to thor prefer
ences for governor and their views as
to an early convention. 1t seems
that the sentiment is largely in favor
of an early convention, and by more
| than to l the country press sup
port the candidacy of Mr.. Dockery.
His support does not seem to be con
| fined to the press, but is found
among the rank and file of the party
as we'll In this connection it is in
teresting to note the statement of a
reliabl gentleman who has taken the
trouble to ascertain the attitude OF
the chairmen of the Democratic
County Central committees of the
State in respect to the candidates for
| Governor According to his poll,
which seems to be trustw ii
appears that of the ia chairmen,
ninety-one favor Dockery, eleven are
unknown, and there is one vacancy

Professor B. K. Emerson of Amherst t

Professor B. K. Emerson of Amherst to
 Speak Tonight.
 The next lecture in the Sheffield course will be given tonight by Profess sor B. K Emerson of Amherst, his sub ject being Geological Explanation of Myths" Besides being an authority in certain branches of science, Professor Emerson, who is jresident of the Geo. logical Socieey of American, has we'll deserved reputation as a lecturer and witey after-dinner speaker. He will show in his lecture how certain stories, legends and ideas which have become interwoven into ancient religions and into mythology have originated from natural phenomena. It is a quite orig inal and novel treaement of the subject, and his lecture will doubtless be highly interesting.
 The lecture in this course by Profess sor Brewer, originally set downs for Tuesday, March 13, was delivered on Friday, February 16, in place of the one on Liquid Air" which was postponed. There will consequently be no lecture next Tuesday evening.

TO ENJOY SPRING UNDER SOUTH
 ERN SKIES.

It is not necessary to expend a large amount of money to visit the numerous
 charming resorts reached by the South gern railway; round trip tickets are on
 sale al reduced rate, and this great
 steel highway of the south leads to
 wondrous regions of beauty and health,
 upon trains that glide, as if on the
 wings of the wind, over the smoothest
 of tracks. The journey is made in lux
 urious trains embracing all the com
 forts and conveniences of the finest metropolitan hotels. All through trains are composed of the highest type of vestibuled Pullmans, and dining cars are operated throughout the year
 The resorts of the south are varied in attractions as well as in climatic con- ditions. Those in robust health who simply seek a warmer climate where they may escape the rigors of a north ern winter may choose wholly as fancy dictates. During spring months their choice naturally may be some portion of the Land of the Sky" western North Carolina, or the high sand ridge and pine sections found in that region stretching from Pinehurst N C., through Camden, Summerville, and Aiken, s. C.. Augusta and Tallapoosa, Ga. The Land of the Sky" has an ideal winter climate. Of this section Ashevlle is the center, but by no means the only desirable place. There are a score of others, such as Saluda, Skyu- ka, Tryon, Sapphire, Waynesville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock Skyland. Lenoir, Blowing Rock, Linville, and Hot Springs. The winter temperature is almost identical with that of South ern France and Northern Italy. In any one of these excellent accommodations are to be had.
 The Southern Railway operates the most perfect through service between New York and Florida, and the South and Southwest, Located in New York city are two ticket offices, 271 and 11S5 Broadway where all information re- garding rates, routes, etc, is furnished. Write for a copy of book Winter Homes in the South" For further in- call on or address Alex. $. Thweatt Eastern passenger agent, 1885 Broadway. New York.

 A FIN DE SIECLE ANTIQUE.

The Junk Law and a Dealer-Humor
 In the window of 2, certain centrally located store is display to delight the lovers of the beautiful and antique. This display is not large, but $4,000 is said to be a conservative estimate of it's value. There are new limited edi- tions of choice books, folio copy of the Rubaiyat, with plates by Elihu Vedder, valued at $130, a fine set of Hogarth' s engravings, with specimens of the best modern engravings and numerous rare and costly books, most of them over two centuries old The window is so at tractive that the observer is apt to over look modern looking document in the center of the exhibit.
 This document (duly signed and sealed) announces to the curious that its holder is thereby authorized to en- gage in the purchase and sale of second hand articles.
 But the cream of the joke is in the caption of this license, which announces in brazen capitals that it treats of bar ter in Junk, Old Metals and Second Hand Goods"
 It was issued in the year of Grace 1900 from the proper official sources in New Haven, Conn. It's proud posses sor, having bowed to the frown of power, faunts this evidence of his en- forced compliance with a beneficent statutory provision in the view of the passer-by.
 Being, like the soldier of the Tenth legion not without humor. he has placed this choice specimen of fin de siecle bric-a-brac in the place ef honor in his display.
 The antiquary who runs may read. Let him purchase articles of vertu CO., vertly, and not sell them at all unless he is prepared to comply with the stat ute in such case made and provided, namely that relating to traffic in junk, old metals and second hand goods.
