The U O., Rep lblican State Conven-
tion at Dover, on Tuesday last, was a
demonstration in good politics, of polit-
icai potency and power, such as has
rarely occurred in the history of this
State. aH44} 1l f
The truly representative character of
that convention its personnel, free yet
digaified order Of its proceedings, ad-
nsirable tone OF its utterances and unim-
peachable, soundness of its declaration
of principle and policy has thrown
all the opponents Of the Union Repub.
tican party into state of rattle and
rest. \ They are now on the defensive
and trying to devise means by which
to save something from the inevitable
wreck OF defeat which they see i'm
pending.
To lie about the Union Republican
party, to .ridicule. it and slander its
leaders, is no longer effective defence
against it, What the Anti-Addicksites
said was weak, proves to be strong, The
State Convention was strong in numbers,
character and In political capacity.
What the Anti. Addicksites said was evil,
proves to be good. Tie convention was
composed of the best citizens and most
loyal Republicans Of the State. What the
Anti.AdGicksite said'was aujimpolitic,
destructive faction proves to be the Re-
publican partya party Of broad prin-
ciples good purposes and generous dis
position. Against the demand Of the
Anti Addicksjtes fur the political ostra
cism of Union Republicans as d basis Of
unity at the coming election, the
Union REPUBLICAN party has thrown the
doors side open ana invites to its or
gan z4tion, wishno reservations. .of rights

invitation is given knowing that its ac-

is given, will assure the success of the
united party in this State. This is gem
une Republicanism-an offer OF party
unity upon the basis of Individual equal
i.y among its members.
The resolutions adopted and the
speeches made at the State Convention
opened broad, easy path to Re

THE territorial status of the island OF
Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, is, we
think, simple matter easy of compre-
hension. These islands are territorial
dependencies acquired by the United
States as the result of foreign war and
are governed through the military and
naval organization OF the country. This
is surely the territorial status. The ex-
tension of civil government to these ter
ritories must be made by Congress. and
if so made must be such a civil govern
ment as Congress approves The status
of the people of these islands is not .ths t
OF American citizens, but OF foreign born
residents Of American territory. They
were born Spanish subjects; legally
and until some competent au-
thority under United States law
gives them another status, they
must remain Spanish subjects. The
REIMBURSEMENT of authority over them
by Spain does not alter their citizenship
status. That depends upon the indiyid-
ual. The constitutional provision is that
he must apply for American citizenship,
prove FIVE years residence in American
territory, renounce his foreign allegiance
and take the oath OF allegiance to the
constitution and government OF the
United States. There is no other way
by which foreign born persons can ac-
quire American citizenship.

The pictures of the Jeffries Sharkey
fight come to the Grand Opera House
next Monday night. There are many
exciting incidents shown in the Jeffriess
Sharkey contest pictures that remind one
OF the arena at Coney Island. In tue
second round OF the contest Shaikey is
aoored twice by left hand swings on the
jaw, but comes back quickly and fights
on fereely. The fifth round is lively and
shows both men to advantage. Jeffries
draws first blood from Sharkey's left ear
in the eighth, and opens deep cash
over his left eye in the tenth, from which
the blood li,ws freely. Sharkey goes to
the h3or again after few seconds OF
lighting in the eleventh round, but this

Modieska in Macbeth" comes to the
Grand Opera House on Saturday night.
Few actors Of the present day have a
bigger reputation than MIR. John Il. Kel
lerd, who is TO appear as the leading
support of Madame Modjeska, and con-
sequently much will be expected OF him.
A man OF pronounced individuality he
no doubt has his own ideas as to many
of the classic roles he is now assuming
for the first time. These ideas will prob
ably cause some discussion, for no two
actors ever played such parts as "Ham,
let'' or Macbeth alike, but, providing
his performance is interesting, such dis
cussion can only serve to spread his
fame, whether it comedies with his own
notions or not. Mr.. Kellerd is said to
have spent much time, study and money,
too, in procuring the tools of his trade,
or in other words the costumes for the
several parts he ia to play A number
Of them were made by Alias, of London,
whose reputation was go enhanced by
the dresses he made for the Duchess oi
Devonshire's ball, perhaps one of the
most famously fashionable of modern
social functions.

Ruled the roost as imperial dame
She can give cards and spades to your up to date

And she gets there, you bet, just the same!

On ballot box talks and all that

In trousers and brothers stiff hat.

PLUMBER OF WAR.
A Curio Dealers I.upes oCWhat VIII
Come From China.


The year after the Declaration Of In
dependence was signed at Philadelphia
Spain sent to Cuba and had mounted
at Santiago two large, ornate brass
cannon. Today these two pieces Of
ordnance may be seen mounted on the
wide balustradc Of the east entrance
to the state, war and navy building,
says the Washington correspondent Of
the New York Post. They are part Of
the plumber of the Spanish war. For
some months they had been lying in
the courtyard Of the department build
ing while suitable iron mountingS could
be designed and cast. These Old can
non are about Is feet long.
There is IL man in Washington who is
intensely interested in present events
in China, not because he has friends or
relatives there, and he is quite indilIer-
cnt to the fate of the missionaries. He
has a little shop near the Metropolitan
club, where he sells oriental vases,
ivory carvings, antique jewels and sim
liar articles. TO him the capture of
Picking means the uncarthing of art
treasures which money could never
buy. War and pillage is the only means
by which they ever could come upon
the market, and within the next year
he anticipates an influx of plumber
which will make his patrons eyes WA
ter But he is lamcntiug already the
certainty of breakage and wanton de-
struction which will inevitably occur.
Soldiers do not always distinguish at a
glance the value of ceramics and paint
ings. and as art collectors their meth
DDS are crude.
The late Spanish war was an illus
traton of this. a flood of interesting
and valuable trophies worked their
way into this country from Santiago,
and among the things which came to
this particular dealer was a beautiful
representation of the Virgin in ham
mercG brass. 1t was stolen from n
church by Il soldier who was on guard
there at night and who hacked it out
Of the sanctuary with his bayonet.
Obliged to work slowly in order to
escape detection. he would give it a
jab or two every time he went by
it on his beat. Thus he succeeded
in cutting out an oval which contain
ed the picture, but on the way to this
country he drove Il nail through the
upper part so as to hang it at the head
of his bed. This further mutilatcd it,
so that when it arrived here it was
worth only about $50. while if it had
been stolen with skill it would have
brought at least $500 1t was mount
ed we'll. however, and now graces the
drawing room of prominent senator
Many rare specimens of oriental art
were brought from England 40 years
ago as Il result of the sackin@ and de-
struction of the summer palace ut Pc
king, but these have now almost en-
tirely disappeared, being held as fami-
ly heirlooms.

Sweet in the September Woman's
Home Companion. Try, when arrang

CLERK AND CARRIER Examination.

The United States Civil Service
commission announces that on Sept.
26, an examination will be held in this
city for the positions Of clerk and car
ricr in the post Office service.
This examination is held for the
reason that the post Office depart
W1nt has stated that all Offices where
no substitute force is maintained such
force will be appointed as the result
Of this examination 50 that whenever
vacancies occur in the regular force
there will be no delay in filling the
same. 1t is the intention Of the de-
partlnent as far as possible to estab-
lish substitute force at every Office
equal to about % per cent of the mum
Der of regular employees.
The nature Of the examination is a
test of practical, general intelligence
and of adaptablity in post Office
work. The age limitations for this

tive persons VIII present themselves
