REPUBLICAN, CHAIRMAN.

 sideration.
 Washington Special to New York World. President Roosevelt is questioning everybody he sees who knows any Re- publican politics about the proper man for the Chairmanship of the Republican National committee in the coming cam- paign. He has eliminated ex-Governor tor-elect Charles Dick, of Ohio, and Sena- tor N. H. Scott, of West Virginia.
 Just now he has three men in mind: Senator Penrose. of Pennsylvania, whose qualifications are strongly urged by Senator Quay, Senator Elkins of West Virginia, and Governor Odell of New York.

One John F.

The New York Commercial, discussing the proposition to choose Presidential electors by Congressional Districts, which it designates "a proposition from Bed lam," says.
 The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser points out that if all Presidential electors tricts in 1892 and that If "a good and strong Democratic ticket on a sound platform" had been in the field at that time, the Democrats would undoubtedly possible: but should such a method of choosing Presidential electors be general ly adopted. 1t Is certain as the sun rises and sets that both Presidential and Con- gressional elections in this country would become a monstrous farce. There would be such a wholesale gerrymandering Of Congressional Districts by the different State Legislatures every ten years that popular representation in Congress would be practically out of the question. The adoption of such a plan would mean the virtual disfranchisemcnt of millions Of American voters and we should have an oligarchy based largely on fraud and corruption
 That Is one of the dangers. or rather. certainties, to be apprehended from such an innovation. Politics and partisanship are very intimately associated in these latter days, and a strict adherence to moral ethics is not considered an essen tIal in political affairs. If that rule were generally adopted. it is almost certain that when one political Party obtained control of State 1t would so arrange the Congressional Districts that a majority of the Presidential electors would be members of that political Party for the next ten years at least.
 Whether this would be of permanent benefit to either Party is matter Of doubt. It might work in a kind of see- saw fashion and benefit one as much as the other, in the long run, but it would effectually destroy she little fairness now to be found in political affairs and inaug- urato a system that would be worse than anything the country has yet seen. Let US be delivered from such an innovation.

makes a complete monkey of his un-

Last Sundays Bee engaged in 4

who alledged that nowhere in the
good book was there any advocacy
of the use of wine.
Well McClatchey took up the issue
and showed that there were forty-two
injunctions in the Bible in favor Of
the use of wine. He quoted yards
and yards of scripture in favor of the
practice and showed that the Bible
was continually advising the use of
srtong drink, and that the old law
givers and patriarchs and big men of
biblical history practiced drinking
to excess.
He piled up the evidence in this re-
gard, until one would think that little
else was done in those good old sum
mer times of the early history of the
world except to celebrate with wide
open drinking bouts, almost any nota-

OF all demonstrators now advertis-
ing their ware to a gaping public the
man who eats candy for a living is
probably most deserving of sympathy.
He stands in the window of a Broad
way confectionery store and nibbles
at peppermint waters and chocolate
creams for a salary of $12 a week. AL
ways he is watched by an admiring,
hungry throng, many of whom are in
duced by his apparent relish of the
sweets to invest in package of the
saccharine goods before passing on.
One man who came out of the store
yesterday with a five-pound box of
mixed candies stopped on the pave
ment to express his opinion of the pro-
fessional candy eater.

have his job for $12 day, let alone $12
a week 1 don't see how on earth he
stands it. For one solid month now
he has been gobbling sweetmeats from
in the morning till at night. When
he began l gave him just a week to
stick to his job. If he tried to hang on
longer than that l expected him to
pay the penalty with his life, or at
the very least ruined digestion. But
is seems 1 did not know my man. He
is to-day four weeks later, as lively
and apparently as fond of candy as
ever he was. The fellow must be first
cousin to an ostrich. I asked him
yesterday how long he thought he
would be able to hold out on this line.
oh said he, L never expect to get
tired of it. l always did like candy
Maybe he did and maybe he has
not overestimated his digestive pow
ers, but in my opinion the man who
tackles the quail proposition or the
actor who eats stage turkey every
night in the season is wrestling with
regular primary arithmetic problem
compared with what this fellow is up
against"

Certain wise doctors have lately been
assuring the world that the Japanese
are sure to be beaten by the Russians
because they live on rice, which is a
food not at all calculated to supply the
wastage upon the human body caused
by the hardships Of a military cam
paign. This may be true, though the
world will wait and see. Curiously
enough, at a time when the physiol-
ogists are giving this warning, the rice
growers of the United States have COM
bined to teach to the American peo-
pie the assumed food value Of rice and
to induce the people, if they can, to
consume a great deal more OF that
grain than they do.
As a matter of ascertained fact. rice
is below all other grains produced in
commercial qualities in America in its
food value-below wheat. maize, rye,
oats, barley and buckwheat 1t is
vastly poorer than any one of these in
ash, i'm protein, in fiber and in fat,
and surpasses them only in starch. II
is not to be thought of for any Western
people as a main article of food. How
ever, II is not as main article OF food
that il is used i'm this country. Our
diet is. fortunately. much more varied
than that of the Japanese. Rice Is en-
ployed in increasing quantity. and to
advantage, as a palatable subsidiary
article OF the national diet. II is "A
popularity OF the human stomach that
in addition TO the nutritive quality I'm
food Il demands mere bulk. Concen-
trated foods soon ruin the digestion.
The stomach eagerly calls for some
thing to throw away Rice supplies this
demand As a food which one may take
a large quantity Of without getting
much to eat Il r., no doubt, filling
long-felt want In this country.

HOW TO TICKLE A TROUT.
Connecticut Man Says They Are Very
Susceptible to BIandishments.
From the Hartford Courant.

susceptible TO establishments
From the Hartford Courant.
Three years ago Joseph S. Nicholson
stocked a small pond across the road
from his residence in Tariffville with
brook trout. They have grown to be
from one to two pounds in weight and
are very tame.
Mr.. Nicholson feeds the trout on
raw beef, chopped very fine, and plays
with them much as you would with a
puppy. They eat out of his hand and
allow him to fondle them as he pleases.
But like playful dog they sometimes
play too hard and bite. and when they
do their sharp teeth draw blood
One form of amusement which Mr.
Nicholson has invented is a sort of
tug of-war match. He fastens piece
of meat to one end of a string and then
its tussle to see which is the strong
er, trout or man. The trout digs his
toes into the turf. so to speak, sits
back on his launches and pulls for
fair. In reality he backs water with
his fms. Then he will suddenly turn
and try to run away with the bait. 1t
is but fair to Mr.. Nicholson to say
that he is like the circus manager who
always let's the woman charioteer beat
the Roman.
They make the water froth and bub-
BILE, these trout, at meal time and later
become playful and sportive. For its
certain that the trout takes a more
cheerful view of life after a square
meal, just as a man does. If the trout
had ears that You could scratch and
tickle as you do a dogs, he would
probably derive the same pleasure
therefrom that the dog does, but the
trout isn't built that way. All the
Ii
The trick is in knowing where to tickle
him.
This is not equivalent to the old saw:
Catch a bird by putting salt on its
tail. Mr.. Nicholson has already tanned
his trout so that they will come up
into his hands, and he has learned by
experiment that they like to be stroked
in that part of the body where they
stow away the worm. Properly sooth-
ed in this manner you can lift trout
completely out of the water without
his making a flop.
Mr.. Nicholson says he had one
charmed when he lived In the West
so that he could carry him all around
room without disturbing the trout S
peace of mind. With his trained trout
in Tariffville he has not yet attempted
to complete a reversal of natural laws,
but they like to be petted, as does a
child with a stomachache, and come to
his hands and beg him in trout panto-
mime for a piece of chopped beef and
a tickle.
