De1lS Convention
A Tame Affair
Ticket Nominated is Pronounced
Weak Some Bitter oisap-
pointments and Lots
Z. Of Kicking.

The Democratic city convention was
pulled OF last Friday night IN the
usual manner. 1t was q matter OF
keeping up APPEARANCE and preventing
disintegration OF the party and Its
organization altogether, although in
\ thatrespect even it was hard to keep
within party lines, as disposition
was shown 10 break over and nominate
Republicans.
Charles L. Hickman. chairman Of
theexecntiye committee, called the
convention to order and named Chas.
"A. Hornor as temporary chairman.
Robert A. Armstrong was chosen as
secretary and w. G. Overstreet, city
editor of the Daily Post, as assistant
secretary. The temporary organization
was made permanent.
Mr.. Horror in taking the chair In
response to requests for speech said
he hadn't 30 seconds for aspeech. He
merely thanked them for the honor.
and announced the convention ready
for business.
Upon motion the usual committees
were dispensed with and they proceed
ed to nominate candidates.
None OF the wards bad candidate
for mayor except the fifth and it
looked for a while as If the office would
go begging. Finally, D. w. Jacobs
was nominated for the place. A dele
gate told how long Mr.. Jacobs had
lived here-about 5 years-and how he
played a part in nominating Grover
Cleveland the second time. This dele
gate had words OF praise for some
former mayors, saying they bad done
comparatively well. 1t was believed
his remarks applied particularly to
Mayor Kelley.
When MFR. Jacobs was nominated he
made little speech. He said, ~
thank you for the honor, think you
have made poor choice. There are
good men here who would ill the Of
flee with HONOR The convention did
not relish the idea OF being told that
they had acted unwisely in making the
nomination, especially by their own
nominee.
Hoffman Sommers and Charles
Holden were put in nomination for
city clerk. Sommers was nominated
onthe first ballot, the vote standing
:s29.lO forSommers and IL lilo for
holden.
George j. Reed was nominated over
Thomas Spilman for chief OF police by
"A vote of nearly % TO %, and quite
number OF Mr.. Spilman's friends left
the convention in disappointment and
disgust. and with vengeance in their
hearts.
Hugh Callhlan was nominated for
street superintendent.
John r. Steele, the Republican
nominee, was endorsed unanimously.
William H. Cole, the Republican
nominee fer assess n, almost carried
of the Democratic nomination. Squire
W, P. Camp got the nomination, how
ever.
o. @. Owens and Guy NJ. Basel
were nominated for school commis-
sioners for the long and short terms,
respectively.
There was noenthusiasm shown and
before the convention was half over
the crowd began todwindlea and d~ind-
led until only portion OF the dele
gaes remained. IL was tame affair
from beginning to end and no one re-
allied IL more than the Democrats in
their buster and bluff.

to Don Carlos the opportunity for which he has been waiting for years and secure to him the kingdom which he claims as rightful heritage. It may cost Spain terrible and bloody civil war, reaping of the whirlwind of internal revolution, as the result of the sowing the wind of relentless armies and the inquisition of the past centuries before she can emerge from the darkness of the past into the light and blessing of living 1 Christianity. But if Alfonso does lose his throne and kingdom he has 1 bright side of his life to turn to.
 Alfonso has had wise and faithful and good mother, heritage which is of priceless worth. If history's pages afford him little encouragement and inspiration for the tasks which lie be- fore him, the mother love and care which he has felt may nerve him to
 endure the test of kingship and en-
 able him to guide the ship of state through the whirlpool and rapids of present misfortune into the smoother
 waters of new national life. Spain in the past has set her face steadfast- ly against the advance of modern civ ilization and the rights of the common people, but once turned towards the light, the last vestige of the spirit of | the inquisition and the glory of despotic power will be swept away and a new Spain will rear itself upon the sad ruins of the old.
 Over 16 years ago, six months be- 1 fore the present king, Alfonso XIII, was born, Alfonso XII. died, leaving his fair widow to face the heavy bur dens of the restoration. Uncertainty
 marked the succession to the throne until the birth of the son, and the l dowager queen was then declared the
 regent during the minority of the
 new king, Alfonso XIII. Marie Chris
 tine of Hapsburg-Lorraine, archduch- | ess of Austria, was the second wife of l Alfonso XII, their marriage occur
 ring in 1879, five years after he had
 been restored to the throne of Spain.
 He had only begun to grapple with the
 problems of the restoration when the
 new queen, who was passionately in
 love with her husband and sought in
 every way to be help to him, took her
 place at his side. Not only did the
 restored dynasty have to make terms and compacts with the revolutionary
 element, but it also pledged itself to
 guarantee the peace and prosperity of the Kingdom. When in 1885 King AL
 fonso died, the faithful queen found
 a support in the strong arm of the statesman, Don Antonio Canovas del Castillo, to whom was due the restora- tion of political and social order. During the term of the regency of the queen national misfortunes with out and internal disorders within have made her reign anything but peace eul and happy one. Early in her ex- perience began the colonial wars of separation, dragging their bloody his- tory through many years until their continuation in the war with the Unit ed States and the loss altogether by the nation of those possessions which in former years had given it such prestige and power throughout the world.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Monday is getting to be very pop u1ar day at the Jacques, and again this afternoon a large audience is witnessing the first performance of Manager Polls newest show. This is to MT Polls liking, for he is always pleased to have a Monday Judgment from an audience large in numbers and critical in mind. With the noted Russell Brothers as his headliners this week he feels absolutely proof against the faintest possibility of an adverse judgment from anyone. The Rus sells, as is well known, are the fore most vaudeville comedians of our time, and since the Rogers Brothers, Weber and Field and the Four Cohans passed from vaudeville, they are con- sidered the very foremost leaders of genuine vaudevillians They are known the world over as the originat- ors of the original Irish servant girl stage creation, and they dignify the character rather than traduce it in the making of their fun. To support them Manager Poli has secured number of other well known entertainers, includ- ing the worlds great Barkers in their sensational aerial flights, Baker and Lynne, Beeson, Ferguson and Beeson, and others Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10: evening prices for all, 10, 20 and 30 cents.

brighter page of Spanish history to turn to the career of another queen, Isabella, who with King Ferdinand saw the kingdom united, the Moors driven out of Granada and the Il years of wars in various parts of the coun- try ending in complete triumph for the royal standards. A new era of prosperity opened for Spain. Indus try and commerce Hourlshed; the steel of Toledo, the silverwork of Nal- ladolid, the silk of Granada, the leath- CT of Cordova and the wool that was the peninsulas choicest product went across the seas in ships of Barcelona. When Isabella came to the throne the public revenue was less than 1,00O,0O0 reals 50,00O), but in 1904 it had risen to A 4,OOO, ,O00 reals.
 The Spaniards' conquest of their an- cient foe, the Moors, echoed through out the world, but the effect thereof was small as compared to the tre- mendous expansion which followed the return of Columbus with new world and it's untold wealth to lay at the feet of the queen, who had been willing to pawn her jewels in order to equip the daring navigator for his expedition of discovery. Wealth flowed into the Spanish treasury. Ad- venturers went out to America and in few years returned millionaires. As an indication of the lavish wealth and dazzling profigacy of the period, let me mention a couple of incidents. A soldier who married the daughter of a nobleman in BarGelona gave away 12,000,000 reals ;-l aims on his wed- ding day, and another returned Span iard stood at window in Madrid and emptied two barrels of coins into the street below amidst the eager, push ing crowd waiting to grasp the falling gold that had been drawn from the colonies in the rew world.
 But, as some historian has said, the downfall of Spain began with her greatness. Both the greatness and the ruin were the work of the same

Gle Will Ascend the Throne of Spain on
 the 17th of May.)
 There are Spanish writers who dare to defend the inquisition, yet even the deyout Isabella, who permitted the awful institution to be planted among her people, did not view it with entire equanimity when she lay on her death bed. ''I have caused great calamities," she said; ''I have depopulated towns and provinces and kingdoms, for love of Christ and of His Holy Mother; but I have never touched a maravedi of confiscated property. I have used the money in educating and towering the children of the condemned"- truth of which latter plea is ques- toned by historians.
 With Ferdinand and Isabella ends the history of Spain's Spanish kings. She was henceforth to be ruled by two foreign dynasties, the Hapsburgs of Austria and the Bourbons of France. To follow the history of Spain is to find the dark thread of successive mis- fortunes and gradual decline running through it all. No bright star of hope is seen to rise at any point of her ca reer, for the persistent clinging to the despotic spirit of the past has thus far shut out the light, which if seen and followed would lead perhaps to the writing of new and brighter pages iu the history of picturesque old Spain.

Capitalists From the United States
 Have Opened Many Institutions.
 CITY OF MEXICO, March 10.- American activity in extending bank ing facilities here attracts notice. The new state bank of Chiapas, remote member of the federation on the Qua temalan border. has been opened for business, with $5OO,OOO capital.
 The new bank of Orizaba, with a paid up capital of $150,OO0, is also a new American institution, the stock being held here in this city. Orizaba is now an important industrial center and hitherto has lacked banking ac- commodations.
 There is talk of establishing an American bank in the famous mining city of Pachuca
 All American banks in the country are fourishing, and there is rumor of the ultimate consolidation of these institutions, making one great Ameri- can bank, commensurate with the growing importance of commercial re- lations with the United States.
 Many new companies for business in this country have recently been organ ized in the United States and in Eng land.
 The German bank will establish a branch here, as Germans desire t0 have bank of their own, and as they are an important factor in the com merce of the country they. can easily support it.,

KM the thought of the youth $AWMIK ful king of Spain assum- ing the reins of govern eI
 ment on the 17th of May next. His 16 years of life have seen his nation continue the making ox history which is neither gratifying to patriotic heart nor inspiring to the hope of brighter outlook in the fu- ture. While the preparations are go ing forward for the coronation next spring, industrial disturbances and political strife trouble the country, and at Barcelona and other industrial centers, strikers, restless under op- pression and suffering from the gen. era1 financial and industrial depres- sion, are defying the law and boldly fighting the soldiers summoned to hold them in check. An effort will be made to impart to the coronation cere- monies something of that imposing splendor and grandeur which marked the court life of the nation in the days of it's glittering wealth and world wide despotic power, but what can hide from view the departing glory of the Spanish nation, or stop the smart
 
 loss of it's largest island colonies? Alfonso XIII, with the mold of de- cav of the centuries about him and the heavy burdens of state resting upon his youthful and untried shoul- ders, has no easy or hopeful task be- fore him, and, as we have said, the placing of the crown upon his fair young head seems pathetic to con template and tragic in it's possibili- ties.
 But no man knoweth what day may bring forth. As some bright wit ted Yankee has said: Mankind is sure of only two things, death and taxes" And in the case of Alfonso NIII., the present disturbances in Spain may result in an upheaval which may rob him of his throne and give

Yes terday another good rehearsal was held and almost four hours were spent in unraveling the threads of the play.

This scene will have at least thirty people on the stage and all arrayed in court cos fumes, with the exception of course of some of the characters who are woven into the thread of the story and who enter to reveal the plot of the william and to restore peace where disorder reigns.
