There lie now and then an item in
the papers stating that the Populists
are to meet and arrange for a national
convention. In the personnel Of such
meetings is always to be found the
names Of n NJ. v. Allen, Of Nebras-
ke, and one Marion Butler, Of North
Carolina. These TWO men traded on
the POpulist wave for a seat in the
United States senate, which lasted
them for six years, during which time
they were entirely oblivious to any Of
the demands OF the people who bad
made their elevation possible, and
then, by statute OF Limitation both
passed into private life. They are
still hungry. however, it seems, and
unable to make terms in any other
way, are now trying to revive them
selves with the faithful I'D farmers
who made them their first %oppOrtuni-
ty. Either OF them won'd sell his
Christ for less than thirty pieces of

As q matter Of interest there Il only
one species Of oyster. ostrea yirginica,
along the eastern coast Of North

The western coast has at least ave
species, but only two Of these are Of i'm

merely a matter Of environment a diff

The noted blue point comes from the
Long Island shore, from what was once
q natural bed. It gets its name from
the little town Of Blue Point, on which
the beds were discovered. These oys-

appearance, and at once commanded

would be worked out, and then It was

The oyster is rich in phosphates, but is

the ice cream social given al
the hospitable home Of Mr.. and

evening. The day had been rather un-

not, but the evening with the mooa

little chilly perhaps. but it WASN'T
raining. Everyone seemed to be in
most excellent spirits and the hours
passed quickly. There was a urge
crowd out, and the house was full, and
three fIeezers were full of the Incest
kind of ice cream, which was servs d
with cake to a waiting audience"

patro lized Us. and to also thank Mi

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

1t was in blaze of glory. tumult
of shouts and applause, of waving ban
ners and marching delegates. that
Theodore Roosevelt was nominated for
President of the United States at the
National Republican Convention. 1t
was great and impressive scene. The
great Coliseum was filled to the sky
line with wild enthusiasts. and as the
roll was called from Alabama down to
the Philippines the excitement increas-
ed steadily as it was realized that a
National record had been broken for
the first time vice-presidential sue
cessor to president had been nomin-
ated for the presidency and that unan-
imously.
The convention lacked the excite
ment that comes from bitter conflict,
but it sounded lo1g g, aeep note of en-
thusiastic harmony, which, while not
80 spectacular, was more satisfactory,
and filed with better emen. 1t was a
great thing to see and to meet the many
great men who are National figures TO-
day-and still greater to know that
Iowa with Shaw and Wilson, Allison
and Dolliver was at the very top of the
list of influential states. The scholarly
Lodge, the enthusiastic Cannon, the
brillient Root, the POLISHED Depew did
no more creditably than did Iowa's
favorite-J. P. Deliver.
The choice of Senator Fairbanks for
vice-president was the best that could
have been made. He is a man Of such
eminence that he will add to rather
than detract from the ticket. AS sena
tor from Indiana he has shown his abil-
! y as statesman and orator an his
Indiana friends only regretted that he
had not been saved to head some future
republican ticket.
Returning SO late in the week from
Chicago it is not our purpose to over
load the local columns with convention
talk.
