THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The Cheers All for Roosevelt md

Prolonged and stcntorian cheers Tor

achievements and claims for continu-

at times from the text OF his prepared
speech hut the departures were flashes
Of his keen sarcasm or rugged humor
that never failed 10 arouse applause.
The platform. as read 20 the conven-
ton. contains these planks on the tar
iff and reciprocity:
The Tariff Plank.
Protection which guards ana devel-
ops our Industries Ia a cardinal policy
of the Republican party. The meas
ures OF protection should always at
least equal the difference in the cost
OF production ut home and abroad. We
insist upon the maintenance OF the
principles of protection and therefore
rates Of duty should be rcadjusted
only when conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands their
alteration, but this work cannot safely
he committed TO any other hands than
those OF the Republican party. To in
trust II 10 the Democratic party il to
Invite disaster. Whether, as In 1892,
the Democratic party declared the pro-
tective tariff unconstitutional, or
whether IL demands tariff reform or
tariff revision, its real object Is always
the destruction OF the protective sys-
tenn. However. specious the name the
purpose is ever the same. A Democrat
ic tariff has always ber followed bv
business adversely; Republican tariff
by business prosperity. TO Republi-
can congress and q Republican presi.
dent this great question can be safely
entrusted When the only free trade
country among the great nations
agitates n return TO protection the
CHIEF protective country should not
falter in maintining t.

adoption of al practicable methods for
their further extension. including. COM

CLOUDS EIGHT MILES HIGH
Many Peculiarities Attending and
Preceding Thunderstorms May
Be Noted by Observant.

i A great cumulous thunderhead cloud,
towering up on the horizon like huge
famboyant iceberg, is often higher than
the highest Alps would be if they were
piled on top of the Himalayas. 1t is
not unusual for these clouds to measure
ave, six, and even eight miles from
their fiat, dark base, lowering mile or
two above the world, to their rounded,
glistsning summit, splendid in the sun
light. And in these eight miles the
changes of temperature are as great as
those over many thousand miles Of the
earth's surface. These clouds contain
strata Of temperature, narrow belts OF
freezing cold alternating with large dis
kances of rainy mist and frozen snow
and Ice particles. Hailstones, which are
formed from a snow particle that falls
from the upper strata and is frozen haro
in the freezing belt and coated WIZ
added ice on the wet belt, are often found
with a series of layers in their forma-
ton, showing that they have passed
through this succession of cloud strata
more than once on their way from the,
upper air to the earth.

NOW WEAR RINGS AT NIGHT
c1eze for Wearing Them at All Times
Has Been Displaced by Noctur-
nal Exhibitions.

"Women are not wearing rings a.
they did several years ago" said WELL
known Chicago gem expert, to an,
Inter Ocean reporter, when asked
IL rings are no longer stylish. "They,
buy more rings than ever before, but they
use them only for full dress.
"Why, as recently as five years ago
the sex had craze for making pawn-
shop displays on their hands, and wore
rings morning, noon and night, any
where and everywhere. Even women In
the deepest mourning did not discard
their rings.
"But it is not so now. The matron is
content with wearing her wedding ring,
even putting aside her engagement ring,
while her single sister, if she wears even
one ring, usually adopts plain dull gold
seal ring adorned with her coat-of-arms
or somebody else's.
Rings are brought out with the stars,
but it is now considered quite vulgar to
burden the hands with them in the day
light"

The only 'business conditions" that
fear disturbance from an election are
those that depend upon special privi-
lege and robbery. Slowly reforming
the robbery is disturbance, but
not as much as to abolish the special
privilege which makes the robbinq
possible. The "business interestsn of
the millions engaged in agricultural
pursuits have no reason for alarm but
will assert themselves quickly by be-
ing released from the wrongs imposed
upon them for the benefit of the
favored few on being restored to the
full measure Of their rights. The in
consistency OF its admins tration may
be seen in It's efforts toward the re.
forestration of the depleted timber
lands OF of the country, while encour-
aging the destruction of our forests
by q tariff Of 90 90 a Thousand on Can
adam lumber. To change this would
disturb the business conditions of
the few who are the beneficaries of
OF this robbery, but would materially
AID the millions who are its victims.

POCKET ELECTRIC LAMPS.
Great Demand for Them in Mosquito
Ridden Resorts-Superior to
Kerosene Light.

1--WE have sold great many Of,
these pocket electric lamps this sum-
mer," said the salesman to a reporter
for the New York Sun, "and most
everybody who has bought one has
taken it to the country. Timid per-
sons want to lie sure of having some
sort Of light at hand in case of
emergency at night, and the pocket
electric light answers the purpose.
In the country boarding houses kero-
sene lamps furnish the illumination,
and If they are left burning in ones
room all night they draw insects and
mosquitoes. There are half dozen
oil and candle lamps on the market
that give the requisite amount Of
light, but the electric pocket light is
leading them all in sales. That

Fortunate Pigneri, an Italian con-

suspicion of numbering Thomas
Callahan, an aged cobbler at
Des Moines, it has developed, is an
Italian nobleman, and the fact that he
has been so earnest in his desire to
prevent any news of his plight out
side the boundaries of the country Is
explained in his acknowledgement that
his family is prominent one in Italy
and that he does not want them to
learn of the disgrace that has befallen
him. Pigneri stated through an in
terpreter that he confidently expects
to be cleared of the nasty charges that
now confront him as soon as his cese
is before the district court. He was
recently indicted by the grand jury
and his trial will be held during the
present term Of court. Pigneri's store
adjoined that Of the old shoemaker,
and in the absence of any other clue,
Pigneri was held, following the other
discovery of the dead body of the old
man last spring. Callahan was known
to possess considerable money, and in
asmuch as Pigneri was one of the
few who were acquainted with the
fact, suspicion pointed toward him
Other circumstantial evidence Is
