Oldest of Church Ben Tover,

The Oldest church bell tower in
America is now in good condition in
Tacoma, Wash. When the first set
tlement was made on Commencement
bay, Puget sound, church was built,
but there was no bell tower, so a big
fir tree was selected. The bell was
placed in the top of this tree, a lad
der extending from the roof of the
church to the improvised tower. The
ivy-colored fir still stands, with the
bell in its top. The fir, according to
calculations, must have been a young
tree when Columbus made his first
voyage, and therefore it is the Oldest
bell tower in American. L. World.

The Election Law.

II there is any man within the pre-
cincts of Kentucky TO talk of amending
the present election law of Kentucky, 1
should be the man. advocated the law
when il was enacted. defended il when
asssiled. But the law has been a fail
ure. The results have not been what
we confidently expected. Its enemies
have said that it enables the Democrats
TO steal votes. It can not be truthfully
said that a single vote has been stolen by
the Democrats under its operation, but
il has failed in other ways. The law
should be amended. Gov. GOebel in his
last days, with the shadow of death
dsrlrening the hope Of his recovery, had
decided that the interests of the people
Of Kentucky demanded an amended
election law. I hold here in my hand
"a package Of letters that he had taken
from his pocket documentary proof to
show that the maTtyred leader of the
great Democratic party of Kentucky
favored changing the existing law under
which the right Of suffrage is exercised.
The Committee on Resolutions has
unanimously and tremendously decided
that the election law should be equal
representation to both the great parties
Of the State and 70 insure an honest
election and fair count. The commit
tee therefore recommends to this con-
ventiOn that such changes be made to
the present election law.-Hon. J. @. S,

AN ARMY AND NAVY COLLEGE.
Secretary Long Makes n Proposal to
Secretary Root.


The Secretary Of the Navy has sent a
communication % the Secretary Of War
Offering him the use of the Naval War
College. at Newport r. l.. as a school
for army officers who will make specially
of studying coast defence. The offer Will
probably be accepted.
Secretary Ions aud Secretary Root have
had under consideration for some time a
plan whereby navsl and army officers may
cooperate in per,eeting the coast defences
of the country. Il is thought that by
comforting together the naval and army
officers may evolve better system than
they could acting independently.
The Naval War College is a large build
ing with abundance OF room to accommo-
date classes Of both naval and army Off
GERS, ard it is expected that the coming
summer will see a number CT officers to-
getheT at the War College.
There is already a number Of naval OFF,
GERS on duty at the college and the army
officers Will probably be assigned there at
