TABooED TOPICS.
Weather and Our Ailments Not Fit for
 Conversation.

From the Houskeeper
 An interesting movement for the re- viyal of the almost lost art of converse tion Is reported from England, and in recent address on the subject one of it's sponsors said: There is no real conver- sation nowadays. We talk about the weather and our ailments and call that conversation"
 We really believe that the banlshment of these two topics from our daily con- versation would inure to the better men tai and physical health of all of us. On wet dreary day what Is more depressing than to have friend repeatedly call our attention to the weather2 The inevitable effect is to cause our spirits to fall with the barometer. How often it happens on a summer day, when the thermometer Is soaring in the nineties and we are man aging to keep fairly cool In some shady nook, that a friend drops in, perspring from every pore, and mopping his face with his handkerchief, exclaims: "Whew. but it's hot" We had not noticed the temperature particularly before but now that our attention is called to the evil dent torrldity we feel ten degrees warm CT and we blame our friend for having

From the Chicago Tribune. The humble stranger wears upon his vest a large golden medal. His shy de- meanor and evident modesty arouse our wonder asto what achievement has earn ed for him this honor. His unassuming bearing convinces us that he must have done something that merited this dis tinction. Perhaps he has dashed headlong into the thick of battle where bullets fell like hall and cannons howled their thunderous arguments, where sabers gleamed in the air and the deafening clamor and chatter of bursting shells was enough to make the stoutest heart quail or even make 1t chicken. Siding up to him we decipher the inscription the med pl:

SEATTLE, Wash, July 1S.-Though
standing very high in the estimation

dictated former United States Sem
ator George Turner be not named for
vice president at the democratic ma

PLANTATION made by L. c. Gilman, the
first Of the Washington delegates to

While Senator Turner occupies a
high position with the leaders of the

Washington politicians of the position
he would occupy with relation to the
administration in the event Of Judge

on the allegation that the asphalt
company gave material aid to the late
revolutionary movements, and espe-
cially to General Matos, whereby 1.-THE
Castro government was put to the
necessity of expanding 50,OOO,0OO bollv-
ars to suppress the rebellion. Inc
suit is the elimination Of long litiga-
ton growing out of the claim of
rival concern, the -Quinlan
syndicate, to part of the asphalt lake

Venezuela gave judgment in favor OF

institute is said to be the outcome of
the failure of the proceedings Of the

THIS BRANCH OF THE ARMY is
FLOODED WITH MANY IN
COMPETENT OFFICERS.
Subject Has Been Taken Up for Con-
sideration by the Head of
Staff Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1S.-The
attention of the war department has
recently been called to the fact that
the cavalry is being flooded with Of
ficers, many Of whom are untitled for
mounted duty. And this has opened
up the entire subject of assignment of
officers to duty with one or another
branch of the service
1t has been the custom heretofore to
permit the graduates of the West
Point military academy to elect the
arm of the service which they are to
enter, giving first choice to the cadet
graduating at the head of his class.
In this way it has been found that Of
ficers have entered the engineer corps
who are especially adapted to that
technical work; others have been as
signed to duty with artillery when they
have no mechanical tendencies; while
others have become cavalry officers
when they are eminently untitled for
such service.
The cavalry has been made the sub
ject of special study of late, and In
spector General Burton has prepared
and submitted a report showing the
results of his observations. General
Burton reports that not an inconsider-
able number Of officers of the cavalry
branch of the line are incapacitated for
efficient service therein, mainly through
three causes, which may be classed as
follows:
First-Those who are timid or at
least not confident of that manage
ment of the horse that stimulates bold
ness and daring-qualities which
promise positive results in hazardous
enterprises such as the cavalry is fire.
quently called upon to perform. This
kind of disqualification paralyses units
commanded by such officers.
Secontl-Those individuals who have
no love of or admiration for the horse
qualities which beget affection from
the animal and make him tractable
to the aims of the rider and in turn
make for the spirit of esprit du corps
without which no command is held in
high esteem for efficiency.
Tnird-Over weight and malfOrma-
ton. Excessive weight is ruinous to
the horse, cumbersome to the rider and
weakens the endurance of the indivi-
dual This disqualification cannot
always be provided against at the time
OF assignment. but when any develop
it the individual should be transferred
to foot corps.

attend the meeting of anti-Parker
leaders just before the nomination. No
meeting of the delegation had COM
mitted US to an anti-Parker move
ment, but Mr.. Terry represented the
majority of the delegation, and, under
the unit rule, this majority could have
voted us all against Parker and in
favor of the combination against him.
The only test vote we had, and that
was not real test, came on the seat
ing of the Illinois delegation, when
majority voted six to three in favor of
the Harrison delegation.
The support given by the delegation
to Parker was unanimously agreed up
on in convention. After Pennsylvania
had caucused and agreed to support
Parker it was understood that the
Massachusetts delegation, seeing no
hope for Olney, would switch to Par
ker after the first ballot. After once
voting for Hearst, the Hopkins delega-
ton from Illinois would vote for
Parker.
