NOT FAVORED IN THE EAST.
Little Probability of an AntI-Imper-
fnIfst Convention.

INDIANAPOLIS. aug 1.-The indica-
tions point strongly to the collapse OF the
proposed National Convention of Anti-Im
perialists. and it is regarded ss more than
probable that the convention called to
meet here August IA to place national can
didates in the field will never be held.
When Osborne and Riley we're here they
assured the Commercial Club directors that
there would be at least LEGO delegates in
attendance upon the convention and the
club officers assured them that if that
many persons would come the club would
furnish and decorate the hail.
An answer was to be sent to the club
officers at once, but nothing has been
heard from either Osborne or Riley. anu
it is believed that the holding of the con-
vention has been abandoned. Letters re-
ceived here almost daily from prominent
members of the American Anti-Imperial-
istic League say that the organization has
at no time favored the II. miRstion of can
didates, and that Osborne and Riley were
not authorized to act in the name of the
league or promise that delegates to any
considerable number would attend such a
convention. It is said that the movement
is receiving no encouragement in the East
and will not be countenanced by Eastern

The Right of Privacy.

Justice Davy. OF the New York Supreme
Court. has overruled the demurrer to the
complaint of young girl who claimed that
her right Of privacy was invaded by
the use of hsr picture in a -four adj ertise-
ment. As this is the first time sueh q
suit was ever brought in this country, 1t
is likely to prove of interest as a test
case.
The decision of the judge is certainly
one which all risht-miuded people will APP
prove. II there is anything which belongs
to a woman pa 1t al possible doubt of OVID
ership. that thing is surely her own face;
and she alone should have the right to say
whether her features shall be reproduced
in public, as an advertisement or other
wise. In this case the young woman was
of remarkable. even extraordinary. bsss,i
ty. and her lovely features unquestionatly
added much to the attractiyeness OF he
dealers advertisement. She very justly
objected to this. since she herself was get
ting nothing cut of it but q somewhat I'M
fore. that her right Of privacy was in
vaded By this act en- the part of the COM
pany. and brought suit for fifteen thous-
and dollars damages.
. It is to be hoped that this decision will
check the disposition to us>, without au-
thority. portraits of beautiful women as
advertisements of yariors ;Sares. Some
times the thing advertised is not Of sc
irreproachable nature as -four. Tobac-
CO is, to be sure. a harmless and enjoyable
article when taken in moderation, but no
modest girl would care to have her pho
tograph exhibited in a tobacconiSt's win
dow as an advertisement of a peculiar
brand of cigarette. Tie reasons for this
are Obvious. and If a woman's picture
can be used without her authority by one
manufacturer. others may easily take the
same advantage. There is a great deal
too much bad picture making in this coua-
try already. II it is really necessary TO
have the features of some woman as Part
of the advertisements of q brand Of -four,
or chocolate or cigars. or beer, there are
plenty of professional models to be had.
who will consider such a display Of their
features rather an honor than otherwise.
There is no need of invading the reserve
Of private life for the purpose.

CHARGES AGAINST RATHBoNE.
Layvshc Ordered to Prepare Evil
dencc for Other Accusations.

HAVANA Aug Mr. Lawshe has been
called upon by the judge having charge of
the Rathbone case to make statements in
regard to the further charges against
Rathbone. The amount now involved is
about 10000. The includes over $1,000
drawn from the postofiice funds in July.
1853. to pay the salaries of postofiice en-
ployes. this being necessary on account Of
delay in providing for the salaries in the
estimates. The amount was TO have been
returned to the postofiice fund, warrants
being signed by Rathbone for that p1r-
pose. 1t was never placed to the credit of
the postofice, Nicely having cashed the
drafts.
Mr.. Lawshe says that he has not been
able to find Rathbone's authority for the
disbursements included in the 10000.
Rathbone must account for ali the funds
disbursed as he was the general disburs-
ing officer. The judge has thirty days in
which to collect evidence. At the end Of
that time he will make summary of the
evidence and the case Will then 60 to the

Croker and Hill.

Our Republican friends are unduIy exer-
eised over the reputed antagonism between
Mr.. Hill and Mr. Croker and of the alleged
failure of Senator Jones to heal the breach
supposed to exist between these distin-
guished New Workers.. One would think.
to judge from the deep concern displayed,
that a violent dissension in their own
ranks was the cause of the deep Interest
taken by the Republican press in the
movements of these two prominent Demo-
Gratis, and the alleged desperate efforts of
Chairman Jones to bring about harmony
between them. The fact remains, unpleas-
ant as it is to our friends the enemy, that
there is nothing to arbitrate between these
two gentlemen, whatever may be the short
comings in other respects of either. They
are both and each Loyalty supporting the
Democratic platform and candidates, and
each is applying his efforts in the manner
and sphere best calculated to promote the
success of the party. Concerning the
merely personal relations which may exist
between them, the public has little con-

which they may or may not entertain than
they have in the affairs Of any other citi-
zen 1t is a common characteristic OF
busybodies to interest themselves in differ
ences and to project reconciliations where
there is nothing to reconcile.
One matter there is which will excite the
interest Of our Republican contemporaries.
and that is the rivalry which is said to
exist between these two party leaders in
their Jealous support of the Kansas City
nominees That Is a difference which they
would be most happy to reconcile if it
were in their power. That is the Kilkenny
cat kind of quarrel that they would like
TO see arbitrated and settled. But they are
doomed to disappointment.

Chairman Jcnes Says They VIII

rived in Washington yesterday from New

ocratic leaders, believes that New York
viii cast its electoral vote for Bryan and
Stevenson
In discussing his trip to New York. he
said:
II found things in a satisfactory condi-
ton. 1 know of the efforts made by GER
tain newspapers to prove that feud ex-
lists between Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Hill. 1
am confident that the stories which one
sees in circulation that there is such a
feud between Croker and Hill as will in
any way interfere with their support OF the
Democratic ticket, are without founda-
ton in fact. Whatever the personal rela-
tons of the two men may be, l am conf
dent that personal disagreements. il there
be such, will not affect their course in
this campaign. am confident that both
men will loyalty. cordially. and heartily
support the ticket. ! expect good results
from the harmony of all our people in
New York"
In speaking of the general outlook Sen
ator Jones said:
Il think everything is moving nicely in
the country generally. and 1 am very hope
full. 1 believe that the imperial policy or
the present Administration is more heart
lily condemned by the great mass OF the
people than any other important position
assumed by any party for Lany years past.
THE evident intention OF the Admins
tration to organize a great standing army
is popularity disapproved Of.
THE lack of disposition on the part of
the Republicans to control or restrain
trusts. is. in my opinion, condemned by
patriotic Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis. 1t is seen by all parties that despite
the fact that the Republicans had a ma
jority in both branches OF Congress. and
the President. too. no sincere step to-
ward restraining trusts was made and, in
fact. 1t Is observed that they fourished
under the fostering care of this Admin
istration as they never did before" 4

ContenfInen

Mr.. Bryan was once asked what he con-
sidered the greatest word in the English
language and he replied:
''Contentment. The man who can be contented
with What he has is the man who finds all that
life Is worth living for
Now, some people might say that Mr.
Bryan is himself Disconnected, or he would
not be politician. and that therefore he
does not practice what he breaches. This
argument would not be sound. The con-
tented man does not necessarily sit down
and wait for things to come TO him, or re-
main entirely satisfied with what he has.
Contentment is entirely compatible with a
certain amount of dissatisfaction. man
Is not satisfied with piece of work till he
has made II exactly what he thinks IL
ought to be: but he may be contented
every minute of the time he is at work
upon 1t. Discomfort is unhealthy disturb
ance; dissatisfaction is the natural impulse
toward perfection. AS perfection is rarely
attsinable in this world. all humanity
mus. remain to certain extent dissatis-
fed; but It by no means follows that
everybody must be restless, worried, and
DISCONTINUED.
The failure 10 make this distinction has
been the cause Of a good deal Of trouble
