Nikola Tesla is a regular caller at the
Presbyterian hospital in New York
now, going there to see Lieutenant
Hobson, who has surrendered to ty-
phoid fever. Tesla is a warm admirer
OF the young naval constructor, and
has been q constant visitor since his
admission TO the hospital. II floral
tributes count for anything, Hobson's
friends are legion. Those who doubt
IIobson's popularity should see the
procession of florists messengers
which wends it's way daily to the hos
pital.

A small stingless bee is found in the
state OF SinaIoa and in Topic. The
honey of these bees is not great In
quantity, is dark colored. very liquid,
and is said not to pulverize. Another
popularity OF the honey Is that II has
a decidedly sour taste and on this ac-
count 1t is much sought after as being
n greater delicacy than the sweet
honey OF the tame bee. The reason
these bees are small producers is that
as they are stingless. they are con-
Btantly robbed by the larger varieties,
the tame bee being one of the robbers.

The Scimitar is no admirer of Ohio
politics in general, but it believes that
in repudiating the isms and leadership
that have almost wrecked their party,
the democrats of that state have set an
example which will be followed in
other states.-Memphis Scimitar (dem.).
The democratic party of Ohio has
said that democracy must be supreme
that democrats must be subservient to
democracy; that idols cannot exist
within the great corporation of the peo-
pie; that isms must scatter before the
party dictation or find berth beyond
the party itself that individual dicta-
tion can no longer be attempted. The
tip from Ohio democrats is that they
have thrown off the yoke.-Augusta,
Ga. Herald (dem.).
We ought to realize by this time how
badly, fatally handicapped we have
been by tying on to the West, first, by
having our smoke-houses and corn

that section has thrown upon an honest

Some Republican and Independent Views.
It is not too much to say that the
Ohio democratic convention marks an
epoch in the history of the great party
founded by Jefferson and splendidly led
since by statesmen of ability and con-
viction. 1t spells the Reputation of
populism and the disappearance of the
cheap-money issue. It means complete
defeat for Organism and the leadership
which has caused three disastrous de-
feats in presidential and congressional
campaigns.-Chicago Post (rep.).
| While the silence of the convention
is only a negative attitude, yet it may
be assumed that the democratic party in
Ohio will not again be the champion of
monetary heresies for at least genera
tion. The Bryan experience has been
warning which the Ohio democrats are
not likely to forget unless some unlocked
for change in the business situation
should cause leaders to think that they
could ride into power on a cheap-money
heresy. Such a condition is not likely
to occur. The party may not declare
for the gold standard, but it will be
very certain not to go daft again over
16 to 1. It will denounce national
banks, but it will not shout for the issue
of irredeemable paper money. For this
reason the attitude of the Ohio demo-
cratic convention is distinct gain for
the country in that if removes a. long,

Mr.. Bryan's edict was published. 1t
has set an excellent example as to demo
cratic regard for that pronouncement,
which, it is to be hoped, will be gener-
ally followed. The Ohio democrats also
seem inclined to fight for victory and
not to struggle for defeat.-Charleston
Evening Post (dem.).
The time is coming and it may be
near, when conviction and courage will
go hand in hand, and the democratic
party will not be content simply to ig
more, but will denounce with solemn
emphasis, the errors of the past few
years. 1t will cut loose from associa-
ton with Reputation and win back the
confidence Of the country. 1t will be a
long and tedious journey, but it is the
only way home. Mobile Register (dem. }.
We believe that the Ohio democracy
has made up it's mind to come to life
again. Its platform has the old demo-
cratic ring. 1t declines to load itself
down with dead weights or to dwell
in the night-thoughts Of all irrevocable
past. 1t recognizes that it is the func-
tion of political party to win victories
and not to perpetuate failures. 1t has
presented us with the best democratic
chart formulated for many years, there
being but one questionable plank in it,
and that the criticism on expansion

The Ohio democrats knew what not
to write. The things that were written
are good starter-not just as we would
have written them, but they look away
from Organism and in the right direc-
tion. Three more years will develop
more clearly the lines to be taken by the
next national convention.-Macon Tele-
graph (dem.).
The lesson of the Ohio platform ought
not to be lost. 1t teaches that the time
has come when all divisions among
democrats must end. 1t recognizes that
the silver question is not live question

united action on the part of all men
who believe in the fundamental doctrine
