No Chance for Eastern Man.

AS yet the position of the New York
and PENNSYLVANIA delegations has not
been determined. Dalzell cannot get the
Quay men from Pennsylvania or all of
them; both Sherman and Payne of New
York would like to have the plum. but
neither has apparently made any head
way, nor can any other eastern candi-
date in the face Il the strong party arsu-
ment in favor of "A western man, The
east has the presidency and the senate
presidency as well; western republicans
contend the speakership must go to them,
and they will win their contention IN this
direction.
As for Littlefeld, nobody is for him
at least nobody who has yet been dis
covered His friends think he made a
mistake In announcing at this time. The
general feeling is that some day he may
attain the speakership if he remains in
the house and sticks to his party, but
his newness. his independentism. and the
fact that he halls from New England all
conspire to leave him out of it this
time.
Williams V. Richardson.
AS for the minority leadership of the
new congress. the present indications are
that the contest will narrow down TO Mr.
Richardson of Tennessee and John
Sharp williams, Of Mississippi. If the
democrats had won the house. there
would have been lively contest for the
speakership. Jim Grggs would have
been in II in all probability; Judge De-
Almond, of Missouri. and Tom Ball Of
Texas. would certainly have aspired to
the first place; ana of course Major Rich
ardson. AS 1t is. however, the barren

Origin of a Famous Hymn.

pr. Cuyler in telling the story of fa- miliar hymns gives this interesting cir cumstance concerning Onward. Chris tian Soldiers It seems that the one who wrote this hymn was trying to help his brother. who was a clergyman In the Church of England, to get his Sunday school in good marching order. so he thought this hymn might help. and he had the school led by one who carried a cross. Some gentlemen of the church found fault with the carrying of the cross and thought 1t looked popish.
 Well. he said, i've can leave that out, and can alter the hymn, and we can sing 1t, With the cross of Jesus left behind the door," "Oh, mo-" said the goor brother. Perhaps you had better let 1t be as it is.''

 The Increased volume of business for the month over that of January Is per cent. for the same number or ous'ness days
 to show that the business of the diepen- sary Is carried on like any other business and Is conducted in businesshke man ner. The license paid the State ts the at s2s6 anieae would be a.50o and that amount has been paid the State. It is seen also that the city charges the dis pensary a license for carrying on the the profits. hence the city charges the license so as to get the full returns from the proceeds. The dispensary at Tnskegee has been feet on the first of July. 1901. and on close of business December S1 the sales were 5000 from A purchase Of No,oOo worth of liquors. having about Sa.sVO stock on hand. The total expenses were about Sso0 and the profits about s2.3oo The feeling in favor of dispensary sys. tenn has increased there and 1t would be nsra to aoa osAnx Eh m ssrs are ss blind tigers" it Is not SO bad as when there were bar rooms, and the advantage Is gained of almost entirely abolishing social drinking.
 The general revenue law provides that the license paid by the dispensary in each town shall be the same as that paid by the saloons in operation before the dispensary was established, and in no case shall it be less than one license. The license ranges from 800 to $Seo. in ac- cordance with size of the town or city and in large ciies the dispensary would have a large license to pay. but then the patronage would fully justify it. The sentiment in favor of the dispensary sys- tenn as the. most decent and profitable way of selling liquor Is rapidly gaining and there are many who expect to see a general dispensary law in the near flu ture.
 There were many who objected to the dispensary system because of the senti- ments that the State and county should not go into the business of selling liquor. but when we think about it-is 1t not the same thing when the State regulates the liquor trafic and throws around 1t a pro- tecting arm for the revenue that is de- rived from 1t? The State and counties and cities and towns are virtually in the business with the saloons and to avoid and do away with the growing evil of social drinking the dispensary plan has come into great favor in the past few months.
