he did not know the number. III let
alone however. he was confident he
would be able TO find his house, and
he was looking through the windows
OF the homes expecting to catch a
glimpse of the face of his son.
Alarm In Neighborhood.

alarmed and telephoned to police
headquarters for an officer to come and
arrest the stranger. whom they took as

Latest Aspects of the Situation.

W. R. Hearst has won his most con. siderable victory in Illinois, and his strength in the convention will not be far from two hundred votes. It will nearly offset the instructed vote for Judge Parker in the convention. The most that can be said about the gen eral situation is that |, is any mans race. There may be many ballots, and it is indeed fortunate that the Alabama delegation is not tied to any particular candidate.
 On Monday next an anti-Parker meeting is to be held in New York city, and no doubt the makeup of that meeting will be an index of New York democratic statement that will be care fully studied by the impartial delegate who is free to act upon the informa. ton he procures even up to the hour of balloting.
 The one task that every delegate should consider his own Is the selec- tion $, a nominee who can consolidate the party. This would be excellent work not only for 1904, but also for 1908. The task is not light one, but 1t is exceedingly desirable, and it must be accomplished before the democratic party can regain control of the coun- try. The delegate who holds himself open to conviction, and who acts with an eye single to the consolidation of tG5 party is the delegate who will serve his party, and therefore his country, the best. The delegate who goes to St. Louis a partisan of any particular aspirant is not the man that present conditions call for.
 No more delicate task has fallen upon national convention than the St. Louis gathering will be face to face with next month. The delicacy of the task can best be met by the gathering of information and especially by the retention of mind open to conviction at all stages ot the contest.

BoardInq House Beer.

When l was staying at a certain fashionable boarding house in Memphis I had waiter who carried on profitable business selling beer to the boarders," said young lawyer. "The waiter was young negro about 20 years old and very shrewd. He served the beer just like coffee, and so carefully was the secret guarded that the dignifed dame who pre- sided over the establishment never dreamed that the laws of temperance were being violated under her very nose The waiter would receive a whispered or der for beer in one ear whisk out the door and presently return with an inno- cent looking cut and saucer, the former supposed to contain the regulation board ing house coffee. but in reality filled all most to the brim with ice cold beer. Of course the cups were large.
 Well, that negro sold beer for year or more without being caught. He des rived his profits from tips handed over ar various times by thirsty boarders who took pains to empty their cups before any of their neighbors had time to spy into the contents. At table where there were eight of ten men and all acquainted with the trick this was very easy.
 Tn the language of the waiter, who afterwards boasted of pulling the wool over the eyes of the landlady, Dat house shore did hab a lot of boders. It wuz full up all de time'"

Tariff Revision the Real Issue.

The Brooklyn Eagle, leader of the conservatives, proposes that the tariff shall not be made an issue in the present presidential year. Dingley- ism is to go unscotched, and it would then stand approved because it was not assailed when national issues were legitlmately and naturally and prop erly be.ore the country
 Reduced to it's last analysis the prop. osition of the extra conservative Eagle is a proposition that all go over to the republican party bag and baggage; for if Ding. ey.sm be not an issue, then nothing is an issue, and 1t is but a choice of men with no controlling prin- cl1les at stake.
 It is to be hoped that the Eagles declarations are not an index of the platform that will be presented at St. Louis Tie export trade of the coun- try languishes because of the Dlngley tariff, and the bleeding of the many for the benefit of the few goes on un- ceasingly at home. The latter is done in a hidde-, indirect manner, but it is indisputable that about ten dollars are taken from consumers to go into fa- yored and oyerstuffed pockets where one dollar goes into the treasury. And yet the .iagle boldly declares against tariff revisionl
 The democratic victories of 1884 and 1892 were won on tariff-reform plat forms, and if the issue is to be aban- doned, tariff revision will fall into Sen ator Ald-i> n's hands, who will wei. come it with hospitable hands to a hospitable grave. If the democratic party has come to this, an inquiry will arise as to the further usefulness of that party
 Nc more daring and unfortunate proposition mas been put before the democratic party Let us hope the Eagle does not represent any one but it's own distinguished editor. Let us hope "conservatism,' whatever 1t may mean or be, does not involve a sur render to Dingleyism. Not only must there be TO surrender at St. Louis to Dlngleyism, but the tariff plank of that convention must be explicit, aggressive and uncompromising if full vote of the democracy is to be boiled in No vember.
