From the Washington Post
 The nomination of Henry G. Davis, eighty-one years of age, for vice-president liar nomination of Allen G. Thurman, at seventy-five, to. be Cleveland's run ming mate in 1888, as well as the selec- tion by the gold democrats of John M Palmer, at seventy eight, as their can didate for president in 1896. However much the man in the street may choose to depreciate it. the office of vice-presi- dent is essentially an important. and con tingently a vastly important one and so long as veterans are nominated for it, not quite everything will be falling to the lot Of the younger geperations.
 Should MT. Davis be dlected he will preside over senate containing such speciments of vigorous old age as George F. Hoar of Massachusetts at seventy seven, and John T. Morgan of Alabama at eighty-not to mention the still older Pettus, or Allison. Cullom, Teller. Frye, Proctor, and half dozen others who have passed the scriptural limit.
 
 Leaving the senate chamber and sur veying the country at large, we see ex- Senator John H. Reagan of Texas, the only surviving member of Jefferson Davis cabinet. still active at eighty-six; Russell Sage, not yet cipher in Wall street, at eighty y-seven; George s. Bout we'll laundering against his old party on the Philippine question at eighty-five; Levi F. Morton. hale and hearty at seventy mine; George F. Edmunds, men tally vigorous at seventy-five. and Joseph Jefferson delighting the children of his first auditors at seventy-four.
 In Mexico President Diaz has just been reelected at seyenty-three; in Austria Francis Joseph still reigns at the same age; in Denmark King Christian has passed his eighty-sixth birth day, and in Canada Senator Wark is pursuing his leg islative duties at the ripe and rounded age of full century.
 One does not have to look far 10 find historical instances of very old men wield- ing great power. Benjamin Franklin's best service to his country was rendered after he had reached seventy. Palmer ston was prime minister of England when he died at eighty-one. Gladstone became

accompanied with political deductions, are almost always sent out by the million. One year an executive committee ordered four millions of little cardboard flags. printed in five colors, on the reverse of which vast amount of sound political doctrine-as that committee understood political soundness-was crowded into little space.
 Political puzzles, too, are often offered though not often accepted-and littls statuettes; no end of wrinkles, in fact, and it would be a shrewd executive com mittee, indeed, which could get along without wasting some thousands upon badly designed campaign glmcracks.

FIRE CAUSED CONSIDERAsl =
DAMAGE TO NEW SEERER
SCHOOL HOUSE.
Small Blaze on the Fourth FIoor rs
Ransom Building Causes Much
Excitement.

The new school house which is be-
ing erected in the Seeber school dis
tllct had narrow escape from being
destroyed by fire this morning about
II O'Clock. Workmen were engaged in
placing tar on the roof and were heat
ing the material with a gasoline stove
in the attic. The stove exploded. set
fire to the ceiling of the attic and then
broke through the roof and caught the
tower. This gave the fire "a good draft
and in few moments the entire tower
was a mass of flames. Fortunately
there was a force pump on the ground
and the Workmen attached garden hose
to it and succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze before it reached the walls
of the building. The fire was reported
to station No. , in the city and the
apparatus from that place responded.
When it had reached the city limits
Chief Metz sent the engine back and
took the chemical to the scene of the
fire. 1t was not used. however. as the
fire was eXtnguished by the time the
chemical arrived.
The loss will be considerable as a
large section of the roof was burned
and the tower completely destroyed.
