was hocsusc The leaders on both sides
were experienced convention soers and
because Of the fact that State Chairman
Willria ~ b. Gourley was permanent
chairman OF the convention.
Mayor Seymour was nominated on
the second ballot.
The first voting showed that the
Seymour and anti-seymour forces
were almost evenly divided. and had
the anti-Scymour leaders been able TO
concentrate their vote on a single can
didate they might have won. However,
there was a strong undercurrent among
the delegates for Seymour. and il was
only through the generalship Of the
leaders Of the anti-Soymour forces
that tho anti-Seymour delegates were
kept in line
The nomination Of Mayor Seymour
was a defeat for former United States
Senator Smith and his forces. and was
a victory for Edward +. c. Young and
Robert Davis. OF Hudson county. and
Colonel e. J.. Price. OF Essex county,
From the time the delegates began to
arrive until a few minutes before the
voting began late yesterday afternoon
both sides professed confidence IN
winning. but their actions indicated
that they we're not without some mis-.
givings.

A Rebake from Canada.

The Hon. David Mills, Canadian
minister of justice, has recently been
saying some exceedingly harsh things
with regard to the alleged indisposi-
tion of descendants of the Pilgrims to
raise large families. Among other
things, he said: THE New England
people are upon the soil, but are not
of it. They obviously dislike farming
as much as their women do having
children, and were it not for the in
capable among them. and the foreign
ers who have taken up their residence
among them, there would be neither
children born nor fields cultivated"

son a new ladder has been invented.
Its merit lies in the fact that it is
provided with a platform and balus-
trade, the platform opening automatic
ally as soon as the ladder is placed in
position, and fall being rendered i'm
possible by the balustrade which sur
rounds the platform. Furthermore, this
ladder can be fitted with a large table
board on which can be placed kitchen
utensils or other articles necessary for
cleaning purposes. II windows have to
be washed or walls to be cleaned the
work can be done with perfect safety
and convenience.
In other respects the ladder is con-
structed in the ordinary manner, and
it is SO light that it can easily be trans
ported from place to place.

Production of Gold.

Commenting upon the decrease in
the worlds output OF gold last year
as compared with 1899. the Bankers
Magazine Is undoubtedly right In say
Ing that but for the Boer war the gold
product probably would have more
than maintained itself.
1t is almost as certainly wrong in
saying that "the virtual demonetiza-
tion of silver as standard of value
has within the last five years given a
great impetus to the discovery of new
gold deposits and the development of
gold mines" Gold production may
have been stimulated in Colorado and
some other parts of the United States
by the fall In the value OF silver which
has been going on for much more than
five years, and which cannot have been
largely due to decentralization OF sill
Yer The greatest of recent discoveries
of gold-that in South Africa-cannot
be regarded as due in any degree to
silver legislation, and the output of
the Transvaal mines undoubtedly
would have been quite as great II no
country on earth had legislated in re-
gard to silver since 1870. 1t is prob
able enough that the continued great
output of gold will again arouse ap-
prehensions of decided fall in the
purchasing power of that metal, such
as were expressed by the distinguished
French economist Michel Chevalier
after the great gold discoveries in Cali
fornia and Australia. We may at least
reasonably anticipate a cessation of
the insensate clamor or free coinage
of silver. and that contradiction of
terms known as a double standard"
So long as the gold stock is increas-
ing at the rate of S200.000,000 to $780,
100000 year it will hardly be possible
to make political capital by raising an
uproar about the impoverishment of
debtors by increasing the value of
gold. With gold demonstrably falling
in value that kind of uproar will not
promise good dividends to any adven-
turer in the world of politics.

Life in the settlement is by no means
as terrible for the most of the lepers

are perfectly able to do good days
work, but no labor is required of them.
What work they do is done of their
own free will. Many of them take a
great pride in their gardens. For

gone the sisters received a letter
