Some of the Republican papers seem
TO think that opposition to a snap
convention is treason to the republic
can party. The editors of these pa
pers all know that their methods to
thwart the will of the people is trea-
son to the party and to government
by the people. 1t is not Congressman
Brick, as man that we are fighting,
but the plans adopted by him and his
advisers TO prevent competition and
crush other candidates. Mergers and
trusts are as nothing to such methods.
Nobody expects any opposition to Mr..
Brick in the convention therefore
every newspaper and every lover of
political Lliberty in the Thirteenth
district should. make himself heard
now, and if possible prevent a repe-
tition of methods intended to prevent
a fair expression of the voters in Sc
lecting candidates A half dozen
bosses should not be allowed to con-
troll nominations. II the Republicans
Of the district believe in such control
conventions are useless.

The Chicago Chronicle is another
Democratic paper that disagrees with
the great Clay w. Metsker. 1t says
that IN every way possible the nation
should let it be known that Wheeler
Of Kentucky and his manner Of ex-
pressing his sentiments are an acct
dent and by no means result Of
our democracy and our republican in
stjtutiOns.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1902-02-27

A resolution has been introduced in
the house proposing an amendment TO
the constitution SO as to permit the
President to the veto Objectionable
features of appropriation bill without
making veto the applicable to the
entire measure. As the constitution
now stands, an appropriation bill must
be approved or disapproved as an en-
tirety, thus often compelling the
President TO approve some items which
he would like to disappr0ve, but can
not without vetoing the whole bill.
1t is probable that almost every Presl-
dent has experienced embarrassment
from this cause. There have been
several instances in which the Presi-
dent has vetoed appropriation bills
with riders attached-that is, with
provisions which would probably be
vetoed If passed as separate bills, but
which are made part of important
bills in order to insure executive sane
ton. In 1854. in vetoing on general
grounds bill for public improvements,
President Pierce advised congress ''to
make appropriation for every work in
a separate bill, so that each one shall
stand on its own independent merits.

Almost everybody is glad that the
Schley Sampson controversy is at an
end, and the people believe with the
president that while both Sampson
and Schley were good commanders and
entitled to credit, the victory was won
by the united efforts of all the officers
and the men behind the guns.

The house made a quick and clean
job with the bill to repeal the war rev.
enue act of 1898. 1t passed the bill
by unanimous vote. Seldom is there
so much harmony on any important
measure as there has been or this bill.
According to the estimates, the bill
will cut down the revenues about &c.,
600, 900 year.

The difference between government
salaries and those paid by private CIR
p0rations is shown by the fact that, as
secretary of the Treasury, Lyman j.
Gage received 200 year. while as
presto ent of a trust company in New
York he will receive $50, 900 year.

The war taxes passed in 1898 to
meet the cost OF foreign conflict will
be wholly wiped out in 1902. 1t
takes good management to accomplish
such financial feats.

American history moves fast. Since
the republicans resumed control of the
government in 1897, the territory of
the United States has been enlarged
by the acquisition of Hawaii, the
Philippines, Guam, part of Samoa,
Porto Rico, and the Danish West
Indies. The isthmian canal will be
practically added before long.

Husbands Who Are Never
KISSED.

A remarkable case comes from the
city of Prague in Bohemia, where a
certain farmers wife has just passed
away after having been married for
fifteen years to the partner of her
Joys and sorrows without eNchang-
ing II single embrace during the pc
Rod of her wireh0od.
1t appears that, the deceased was
mourning the loss of her first hus-
band when sought by the farmer III
marriage, and she accepted his suit
on the express understanding that
he would neither ask nor expect any
tangible endearmentS on her part,
though she undertook to fulfill the
duties of wife to the best of her
ability
Another CURIOUS case happened
nearer home, in Pennsylvania, where
a young Quaker lady, whose family
was much opposed to the practice OF
OSCILLATION, espoused Il gentleman
whose views, strangely enough,
conceded with those Of the brides
relations. 1t was arranged between
the couple on the eve of marriage
that no salute of a lover-like nature
should pass between them, bnt that
when they wished to express mutual
affection squeeze of the hand
should take the place of the ordinary
kiss. This somewhat absurd resolve
was duly carried out to the letter,
and the young people grew into old
age without indulging on single Oc-
casion $50 the report says) IN the
pleasant practice of kissing.
One calls to mind in this connec-
ton the tiny colony formed some
wears ago in South America, the
members of which colony pledged
themselves to abstain from all mari
tai endeaIments.
Furthermore, it may be pointed
out that in the land of the Jap" the
kissing of II husband by his wife is
practically unknown, and the Japa-
nese spouse would in all probability
regard such an act as an insult OF
the most offensive description.-N.

One of the clergymen who was
present at the opening of the General
Theological seminary was speaking
of the bashfulness of the late Dean
Hoffman.
"The dean" said the clergyman,
twas called upon to speak at a mass
meeting held in the interests of a
cause which received many benefac-
tions from him. He spoke briefly of
the merits of the cause, and then
said, alphabetically:
"'I am not much of speak er. ''"~
"'Amen! responded a Methodist
brother from the first row.
""The dean, somewhat discomfort
ed, continued a while, and then said !:
"'I'll detain you only moment
longer
"'Allelulan again broke in the
man in the front row, and the dean
sat down very red in the face, but he
enjoyed it all hugely when he learn
ed afterward that the man in the
front row was very deaf and had in
terjected his appreciation entirely on
faith, not on hearing. New York

Christianity and Judaism.

Rev. DR.. r. S. Macarthur, of New
York, john d. Rockefeller's pastor,
said the other day:
~ sometimes regret that Chris
tfans were ever given that name.
Had the name 'Messian'-if | may
coin the word-been given to them,
the gulf between the Jews and the
Christians might have been much
narrower. The two stand 50 close
in Gods book that they ought to
stand closer together in life. Many
Of our prejudices and bigotries come
chiefly from ignorance, and when we
come to know more of each other, we
find that at heart we are more nearly
one than we had supposed. True
Judaism and true Christianity are
not opposite. Judaism is the root
and frank, Christianity the flower
and fruit.
