BROTHER JONATHAN WILLIS reasons
for doubling certain facts, apent the call.
ing Of the Union Republican Conven-
ton. are not conclusive. They do not
state the facts OF his side of the case as
they now stand, and this suggests that
he either does not know what the facts
are, or does not wish to acknowledge
them. He doubts the alleged authority
for calling the convention, because he
does not want to believe it. Does he
and his fellow skeptics in matters poll
ticst, imagine that the Union Republic
cans are such fools as to claim full au
thority for what they did without having
it? Bahi he and they know better.

IT appears that the attempt to ridicule
ex-Consul Macrum out OF court has
failed. 1t also appears that his coming
home has occurred in time to uncover
some secret intent of the State Depart
ment in its recent negotiations with
England. England acknowledges its
proposal, but denies the acquiescence of
the American government. Congress-
men are saying that the new Nicaragua
canal treaty is the vehicle carrying the
terms of the alliance, and Macrum pro-
poses to prove that English officials in
South Africa acted as if the treaty was
an assured fact, and that the United
States was again colony Of Great
Britian-that British military censors
intercepted, read and delayed official
mail intended for Consul Macrum. II
this charge of Macrum is made good, il
will arouse the latent distrust OF Great
Britain which the American people cher
ish, and will give great boom to the
Boer sympathy movement that is now
making itself felt all over the country
There is no need for hysteria on this
question; there will be no war over it
Democrats who are looking for politica
issues, will doubtless attempt to cultivate
an anti-British sentiment, advocate {
Fenian invasion of Canada, revolution
in Ireland, and few such other tritles
but the Republicans will win the mex
election, and there will be no war.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-William Mac
Donald, young Californian basso, who
has been singing with the Bostonians for
two seasons, is seriously i'll in this city,
suffering from what physicians say is
paralysis of the jaw. Mr.. Macdonald
contracted a cold and it settled in back
tooth. He consulted a dentist here, who
advised extraction. To deaden the pain
the dentist used some drug which par
alyzed the nerves of the throat and soon
after the tooth was drawn MacDonald's
mouth closed, and he has not been able to
open il since.

DAILY HepupIlcHn.
Mr.. Addicks is Union Republican,
and as loyal partisan he will go with
his party, accepting it's decisions on all
matters of party organization. and do
his best to win substantial Republican
victory in November next. To do this
is characteristic of Union Republicans,
and one in which they are all alike. Mr..

exemplar of this rule.

watch them from the window
While winds so keenly blow;
How merrily they twitter,
And revel in the snow!
In brown and rufiled feathers
They dot the white around,
And not one moping comrade
Among the lot I've found.
Ali! may be as cheerful
AS yonder winter birds,
Through ills and petty crosses,
With no repining words!
So, teach me this lesson,
Away, away they go.
And leave their tiny footprints

PORTO RICAN BILL DEBATE

Washington, Feb. 19.-The galleries Of
the house were well filled in anticipation
of the opening of the debate upon the
Porto Rican tariff bill. Before the bill
was called up Mr.. Dolliver (Rep., Ia.),
from the committee on ways and means,
moved the passage under suspension Of
the rules of the bill reported from that
committee to amend sections 1889 and
3,341 of the revised statutes relating to
internal revenue tax on fermented
liquors. The measure provoked some
sharp debate. 1t was passed without
division.
The house also passed the Wheeler
resolution asking for information in re-
gard to the charges brought by Mr.. Ma
crum, the late consul at Pretoria
The Porto Rican tariff bill was then
called up, and the floor was taken by
Congressman Payne.
Mr.. Pnyne's speech.
Mr.. Payne said in part:
IAN incident to the late war with
Spain was the invasion of Porto Rico.

Mrs. Gordon's Millinery Parlors.

The millinery parlors of Mrs. H. B.
Gordon presented very attractive ap-
pearance at her opening Wednesday and
Thursday. Certainly black hats were
never more popular than now. One
large black pattern hat with spangled
crown and brim with long black plume
and black velour trimmings and long Jet
buckle attracted much attention. An
elegant novelty hat of brown mirror vel
vet with cream satin crown covered with
gold cord, tied in squares with gold rings,
and shaded breasts in brown deserved
more than passing mention.
Among the New York pattern hats was
one pretty black one trimmed with pink
velour and steel buckle. A beige plaque
hat trimmed with ecru lace insertion and
shaded brown roses, faced under brim
with long gold buckle was very effec-
tive in style and design and an elegant
fur trimmed turban OF very rich lace and
velvet was much admired. Dainty hats
for children were displayed. Crystal
velour is new trimming material and
with gilt braids and cords and large or
naments gives charming and effective
appearance to the seasons hats. Most
OF the bonnets were in black trimmed
with some bright color.

Letter to Frank ID. Hill.
st. LOhnsburY, Vt.

Dear Sir; AS painter you probably
use lead and oil, and would naturally
object to Devoe lead and zinc. Let us
have few words on the subject.
Painters say good lead and oil Job
will last three years, and they say a
house ought to be painted once in three
years.
We take them to mean that their work
is good for three years, no more and no
less, or not much more and not much
less.
Do you want your work to last longer?
What do you say to six years. You'd
have to have twice as much work, you
know or you'd be losing money.
Consider the case of your doctor. You
call him in. Is it better for him to get
your child out of bed tomorrow, or keep
him sick for month
You prefer a quick doctor. So does
everyone else in your town, and county.
and state. We are all alike; we all want
our doctors quick. A doctor, that gets
his patients up quick, is the doctor that
gets the patlents-gets rich too, if he
isn't run to death.
It's about the same with a Dainter
isn't it? Suppose you paint Devoe, and
your competitor objects to Devoe; your
work lasts six years and his work three.
You cost your customers half; he costs
double. Who'll get the business; and
WHOM go to Texas?
Devoe lasts six years-not exactly-we
know of its lasting seventeen-and it
never wears out in less than three, so far
as we know. On windy sandy seaside
house, it lasts three years Lead and oil
lasts one year there.
Devoe lasts two or three times as long
as lead and oil; and it's going to paint
your town. Do you want to be in it?
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co
