A POLITICO-BUsINEssA AFFAIR

/ j
The repu olican national convention
marks the first step in the contest for
supremacy which is to be waged this
year between the two great political
parties in this country.
! The American voter is something in
the position that man would be in
should he go into clothing store and
find that they kept but two sizes of
clothes. Neither might fit, bat the
man must be clothed and so perforce
he takes the nearest size.
In politics we see no reason why
there should not be Protection Demo.
Gratis and there are such, nor Gold
| Democrats and there are such, nor
again, Silver Republicans and such
| there be.
Nevertheless when the ballot box is
opened one must be either republican
or a democrat if he wishes to leave any
impress upon atfairs-and the misfts
and strange bed fellows resulting are
both ludicrous and painful.
The voters then must approach the
subject prepared not for tailor-made
suit of political opinions, but prepared
to take the nearest size.
In doing this there is no need for
passion or hot-tempered utterance.
The question that rises supreme,
above any so called issue, is which
party, viewed as a whole, judged by its
past as we'll as its present, can best be
trusted with the nations destinies.?
| A man note is no better than his
past record for paymeGt.-p his
assets.
| A political party has no assets save
its record and the constituent elements
of which it is composed.
Platforms are but notes OF hand
promises to pay, only good as the
maker is good.
We know not, at this writing what
the platform of either party will pre-
sent. We can surmse, all CT us, proba-
bly, with comparative correctness, but
we do not know.
But this we know.
That the repu blican party will be
backed by years of great accomplish
ment.
That among the endorsers on the
back of the note will be found the
names of Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S.
Grant, James A. Garfield, James G.
Blaine, Benjamin Harrison, William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt.
That the note will bear the record
Promise to free the slaves
Paid, 1865.
Promise to preserve the Union
Paid in full, A. LINCOLN.
Promise to resume specie payment
Promise of liberal pensions to old
soldiers
Promise of peace and good will

development,

proclty t. Cuba, to preserve Mckinley
prosperity, to begin the Panama Canal.
to prosecute the trusts, to act impair.
TALLY in the disputes of capital and

Paid, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
This is the endorsement on the re-
publican note of hand the republican
platform.
What is the democratic endorsement?
Let us he fair.

In "a Russian village.

AS rule Russian village is for
lorn looking place, where the huts of
the poor are made of birch logs, with
upright oak or pine supports, ceilings
Of strips of the same birch and walls
lined with the crude branches. In
these huts there are only two rooms,
one Of which is not for everyday use,
but is kept for best occasions. This
room houses those sacred images so
dear to the heart of every member Of
the Greek church, to which belong the
great mass of the Russian people. The
other room serves the purpose of both
kitchen and sleeping room. as one Of
the principal ideas of comfort to these
people, ice and snow bound for so many
months of the year. is warmth. In
many of the peasant huts no beds are
used, and the top of IA great stove,
reaching nearly to the roof, is d much
sought sleeping place. Although the
conditions make dirt and the accom-
panying results inseparable in the do
mestic life Of these peasants. they are
devotedly fond of bathing The vapor
bath in a crude form may be called a
national institution, and a not unusual
picture of a summer afternoon is the
village pond filed with women and
children bathers.-SOcial Service.

Purchase of wives.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in some parts of Russia. In the dis
trict of Kamyshin. on the Volga. for
example, this is practically the only
way in which marriages are brought
about The price of a pretty girl from
a well to do family ranges from 500
to 5000, and m special cases a much
higher sum is obtained. In the vii
lagos the lowest price is about $25. 1t

The Capital of ROumania Ia q Sort
of Miniature Paradise.
Though all Bucharest is modern, we
find the old eastern methods of mer-
camille cOnstruction-little open cup
boards lining the road, dealers squat
ting among their wares, literally at the
receipt of custom, for they make no
effort to invite it, and the various
trades huddle together, here an armory
of rude pottery, richest green and rich
est red; there an arsenal of thick
leathern sandals. heavy patch of
burnt umber; yOnder an avenue of
black sheepskin caps set out upon brass
stands. in appearance like peasants
heads after a massacre. Out in the
streets are high hillocks of golden
grain, pyramids of pumpkins and blaz-
ing piles of scarlet chillies. At inter-
walls little congregations wait with
laughing philosophy until they shall
be hired-builders with their hods. la
bOrers with their spades. all with the
emblems of their toll. Bucharest may
be summed up as a city of pleasures
and palaces, metropolis of perpetual
carnival temple of boisterous jovial-
ity. Her engaging people combine the
color, the grace and the hOspitable in
stinctS of the east with the comfort
and convenience of the west. Every
instant spent among them yields a
Quintessence of life and joy and
warmth and color. A small Paris in
deed? Nay; tits a little paradise.-Her-

Ant Colonies.

An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more queens s.
The developing young are tended by
the sexless neuters. or workers" The
maggots. or larval ants. are fed 10y
them. often nourished out of the
nurses mouths. and are as carefully
watched in respect of the temperature
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are infantile human beings When
full development occurs the pupae
change into ants. which are either
winged or wingless. The latter are the
''neuters." or workers. They may de
velOp big jaws and appear as the ''sol-
diers" of the colony. Those which are
winged are the founders of new colo
nies. They are of both sexes and they
produce the eggs whence the new gen.
eratiOns will be evolved.

SamnIe NIennnannea

These stories of mean persons are
collected by an English newspaper:
A millionaire and his wife who were
shown through building at Windsor
handed the attendant halfpenny. 1t
was explained that it was the only
copper the millionaire had, the other
coins being all silver. There are ways
of becoming a millionaire and also OF
remaining one.
The story is told of a grocer who.
when retailing a quarter of a pound
of jujubes, cut one in halves with a
ham knife in order to make the bal
ance true.
A grocer had been handing a wo-
man a few sweetmeats when she
squared her weekly account. One
night she asked what was the value
of the sweeties. She was told. She
mentioned that she did not care for
sweetmeats and preferred IL he would
give her the value of them in sugar.

AN IDEAL FISH.
Mohawk Chubs Are Graceful, Slim
and Elegant Creatures.

Mohawk Chubs Are Graceful, Slim
and Elegant Creatures.
There are in some clear. cold streams
of the north certain fish known locally
as Mohawk chubs. These fish are
the ideal fish in shape and colOr-grace-
full, slim, elegant creatures, pure silver
except on the dorsal ridge, which is the
tint Of Oxidized silver. They are ten
der mouthed and remind me somewhat
of the grayling although they have not
the great dorsal i'm nor the fragile
mouth of that fish. They often inhabit
trout waters, and 1 have an idea that
trout feed on the smaller ones, al
though l have no absolute proof that
:his Is true. l know, however, that
pickerel, muskellunge and black bass
strike at them eagerly.
These fish rise to fly and are often
quite as gamy as grayling. Often and
often 1 have struck them in trout wa
ters and have found them interesting
| fighters when tackle is light and water
cold and swift.
Animals and birds appear to be very
| fond of them, or at least are often seen
eating them, perhaps because they may
be easier to catch than trout. Where
Mohawk clubs are, herons and king
fishers congregate. The only time l
ever saw an osprey in that region was
once when whipping that stream. The
osprey dashed down within a rod Of
me and seized a Mohawk club that
must have weighed a pound at least,
bearing him up out of the pool and
away across acres of swamp toward
the distant forest.-Robert w. Cham
bers in Harper's Weekly.

Japan In the Eighth Century.

AS early as the eighth century a
university had already been establish
ed in Japan that included such modern
divisions as schools of medicine, ethics,
mathematics and history, and some of
the text books employed at that remote
period dealt with such subjects as the
diseases Of women, materia medica and
veterinary surgery, types of text books
which appear to have been unknown in
European countries until about 1,OOC
years later.

priest OF that name, has been played
for centuries and continues to be a
popular opening with the chess mas
ters of today. The Ginoco piano has
received the attention of modern ana
lysts, and yet we find that the same
moves were played centuries ago.
