THE CONVENTION IN OHIO.
Everything Done Points to- an Ins
aorsement OF the Administra-
tion Policies.

Two facts of national ihterest were
developed by the Ohio state conven-
tion-the complete and undiaputed
control of the republican party ma
chinery by Senator Hanna, and the in
evitable performance of national IL
sues in the coming campaign.
Coming so soon after the presi.
Dental election, when so many of the
questions growing out of the Snap
ish-American war remain unsettled.
and taking place as it did in .be
presidents own ate, the election
must necessarily tirn upon natioraI
issues. The administration has en-
tered upon policies with reference to
the new insular territories which
have not yet reached their full fruit
ton. The achievements of the ltast
four years, as Senator Foraker said in
his speech before the convention, are
still in large measure incomplete
and insecure. The vote i'm Ohio will
therefore be an Endorsement or a RE-
pudiation of the administration poll

He had himself nominated by the
populiSts before the democratic con-
vention was held. and he would have
run as the populist candidate if the
democratic nomination had been given
to another.
There are doubtless good reasons
why Mr. Bryan cannot confidently
expect to be able TO use the populist
party again in 1904. One of them is
that the populists are decreasing in
number, prosperity being not at all
conductive to the spread of popuistic
ideas and doctrines. Another may be
that even what may be left of the
populist party in 1904 would hardly
care TO burden itself with candidate

elected to the Office to which he still
aspires.

Mr. Bryan announces that she has

he has twenty years ahead of him to
carry IT on. Well here is hoping he
has. 1t would. of course, be interest
ing to know just what this line of
work is On this point Mr.. Bryan is
silent. In consequence the public is
sad. Yet there is the consoling privi-
lege of conjecture. Mr.. Bryan has
within the knowledge Of the public
already spent some five or more years
seeking the presidency. That he has
failed in two heroic efforts does not
mean that Mr.. Bryan is discouraged.

OF clearing the table, making the two
boys sit down in n corner of the din

he had carried everything out. he let
the children go out into the kitchen

Ward, as he sat down in one of the old

Richard Ward might actually have

He thought of his wife in the other

remorse for her.

"Brutes don't talk" said George

Mrs. Clark looked at her daughter

SOARING THE LIONS.
Fierce Forest Kings Driven on by
Initiating the Cries of
Pack of Wolves.

NJ. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have whole some fear Of
African wolves. which hunt in packs.
and do not scruple TO attack even the
lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves NJ. Foa tells
story from his own experience.
1t was very dark night, so dark
that trees could not be distinguished
until the travellers were close upon
them. Lions prowled about the party,
one of them roaring from a point so
close as TO have an alarming effect
on the nerves. The animals could not
be seen, but they could be heard on
all sides.
Reaching "A tree, the men found one
of their comrades with rifle cooked,
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts of the an
imal, which could be plainly heard
walking among the leaves. A second
man was trying to relight half-ex-
tinguished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness.
At this point the native servant
whispered the advice TO initiate the cry
of wolves in the distance. The party
at once began barking and crying:
"Hu! hu! hui" in an undertone, as if
the pack were still at distance. while
the man at the camp made the same
well-imitated cry.
The effect was instantaneous. There
was the sound of a rapid stampede
across the dry leaves. The lions de-
camped in a panic, driven off by the
supposed approach of pack of wolves
For the rest of the night the party was
undisturbed
