DEGENERATION OF THE c. O. PARTY.


 The degeneration of the Republican party was never so painfully exhibited as at Chicago. The party O.

 In past Republican conventions, de spite the iniquity of second term ambi- tions and Mexican tendencies, meant some kind of a fight-some degree of honest enthusiasm. Even Grant. the military hero. who carried the north off it's political feet, could not claim the presidential nomination by right of mortgage. There were strong men, little versed in war, but well versed in statecraft, who did not hesitate 10 urge their claims against his. No nomina- tion was handed out obsequiously on a golden salver to the huzzas of hired ciaque. The Republican nominations of other days were fought for in ba:- ties royal. steel against steel, amid enthusiasm that was not manufactur- cd The idol of his party, Blaine, more than once down under the iousts of dark horse, and the superb fol- lowing tha. his personal magnetism in spired was not swayed by fear or ia vor Men loved him for himself and for what he stood for.
 But this Colossus of brass who be- strides the laud from Washington 10 Chicago-what is the secret of his power? Why do men whose do not warm at mention of his name and who can scarce repress a grin in the presence of his striking person ality,. do the pigmy act in the vicinity of his spurs? Why, It might be an interesting study in psychology-in Svengalism-in undue mental inflrt ence of some kind, were it not soluble by the simple explanation of the moral degeneracy of the g. 0. p. and its su- p;neness in the teeth of patronage and audacious fortuity. A mere. accident of political fortune has the grand old party "buffaloed," to use one of his accidency's own westernisms. and there is none great enough. since the death of Ohio's mighty Warwick, to dare oppose his presumptuous ambi. ton.
 No more is It the grand old party. l. is a gone old party. Body and brooches. Teddy owns it, and but for the independence and good sense of a majority of patriotic Americans. is at liberty to become our Diaz. The Re publican party has lost it's spine. It has lost it's manhood. By no other ex- planation is it possible to account for the ascendancy of Teddy.
 The bowling farce of going through .he form of a national convention al Chicago was unnecessary.

troops would be absolutely safe from an
attack coming from one door open to an
enemy-the sea, for the district in uues-

China.
1t is not SO much that the India gov
eminent desires Tibet, but she has always
been Watchful of any Russian advance.
Only few years ago Russia sent a secret
exploring party along the borders of India.
and at that time they made complete maps
and thoroly studied the conditions and
when the secret matter was published in
an English journal it gave the English
pubic bad quarter of an hour. 1t is
generally conceded that by the present adj
vance the Indian government desires to
install a British resident
Russian Embassy in Tibet.
For some time past Russia has been
maintaining what is practically an en-
bassy in Tibet. Two Russian expeditions
were htted out for Tibet this year. Rus
|sla has frequently dispatched what, for
diplomatic purposes, she called merely
scientific expeditions to Tibet, but the dip
lomats of the Occident have by this time
become familiar with Oriental diplomacy
and the true significance of a Russian
SCIENTIFIC expedition on Tibet is not
lost.
Altho it is called the Forbidden Land,
it has not always been closed to Eu-
ropean intercourse. Indeed, so lately as
1916, two Jesuit missionaries were able +,
spend months at Iassa. AS g matter of
fact they were disguised as Buddhist pill
grlms and when they were recognized
were compelled to leave the country. ,rhe
first European to visit the sacred city was
the f riar Odoric. of Pordencne, who
passed thru it his way to India from
CHINA in 1925. Three centuries later two
priests resided in the city for two months
and to them is owed the first picture Of
Potala.s the palace of the Dalai-La771a
This was published in Europe in 1867. The
Jesuits had q mission in Lassa in l7l6 ana
transferred their work to the Capuchins
who continued in the Mecca Of Buddhism
until 1860.
About that time they put an embargo
on European visitors. altho Thomas Man

pies and converts The population is es-
timated at from $4,000 to 100000 and Of
this number about 1900 are monks.
In the center Of the sacred City rises
the principal temple, called the Great
lion. This temple IS three stories high
and has four golden roofs. It contains a
large number Of statues Of Buddha On
the top Of the Mount Of Iron,' hill that
rises above the gilded roofs, stands the
buildings Of the largest convent in Lassa,
where the monks devote themselves to
the study Of medicine.
On hill that rises 300 feet higher Ii
the residence Of the Dalat-Lama, called
the Potala. In aspect it is something be-
tween the acropolis at Athens and Mount
st. Michel in Normandy. It is an agglom-

by stone walls are the means Of commu-
nication with the different buildings
The Dalia-Lama is a young man not
more than 80 years old. His name II

Tibetan type-that is to say. almost Euro

1t Is entirely yellow. He sits cross-legged
on a platform six feet high, dressed in tho
colors Of priesthood, red and yellow Els
arms are bare. and he holds rod from
the end Of which hangs a tassel Of silk,
white, red. yellow. green and blue.
A yellow mitre covers his head, and he
is dressed in a yellow mantle. Only per-

Lassa is to that form Of Buddhism
known as Lamaism what Mecca is to Mo-
hammedanism. Thither a never-ending
stream Of pious pilgrims flows from one
years end to another. from China, Korea
and even the wild wastes Of Mongolia.

II one will think a moment, this fact
Is significant. If the Buddhist pope could
accomplish so much for the Manchus with
apparently so little effort. what could he

they were one or two centuries ago. In

close to 1t, sleeping was a big gray rat.
The two were utterly oblivious of sur
roundings and persons passing did NOT
disturb them. Occasionally the cat opened
its eyes, purred and stroked the rats ears
and back with its tongue. Then the two
would nap again.
The cat is one that was born in a
champagne box in the Blossom house dur
ing the flood. Its mother foated into the
hotel on a raft when the water was tlits
highest. The raft lodged in the building
and the cat climbed In the champagne

Monday night caught two large gray rats.
The trap was taken in the barroom and a
string fastened about the neck of one

and the cat brought In.
Instead of springing on 1t, as it is won't
to do. 1t began playing with the rat The
latter was tied to a chair It became ac-s
customed to the cats cutting. The latter
finally grew tired and lay down beside
