that it is the bounden duty of the health
department to rectify. But like the old
circumlocation office in London so graph

they seem to have learned fhe art of

TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE q, 1904

THE MEETING of the republican ma
t;onal convention in Chicago today Will
hr;no to mind "reminiscences of the
memorable gathering in the same city
torty.four years ago when Abraham Lin
colin was nominated and VIM. II. Sew
ard who had previously been selected
as the candidate, was defeated. Four
wears before General Fremont had been
nominated by the republican party, but
he was the losing horse in the presiden-
tjal race Of 1856. The party, however,
had grown to large proportions in 1860,
and there was every reason to suppose
with discussion in the democratic ranks
and two candidates of that party in the
field, the republican nominee would be
the next President. Hence unusual H.
terest centred in the Chicago convention
Thurlow Weed and others imagined they
had everything cut and dried in the IN
terest of Seward, but Horace Greeley,
n seeding member of the political firm
of Seward, Weed & Co., had deter
mined to use all his influence to defea'
Seward. The enemies of Seward ano
his coadiutors went to Chicago realizing
thew we're in the minority, and Tor
time nothing occurred to brighten theil
hopes. They fought valiantly, however
and to the surprise of themselves ano
the entire country succeeded in thwart
ing Seward and nominating Lincoln
Cannon doomed from the top Of the
wiewam. bands discoursed music through
the streets and the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed. Greeley's antagonism to
Seward dated back number OF years
The former, when young man, strug-
Cling against poverty, had been used by
Seward in various ways, especially In
editing campaign papers, but when the
latter became Governor OF New YORK
he ignored Greeley as he did on other
occasions when his party triumphed In
national elections and he was on The
crest of the wave of success. Greeley
nurtred his resentment. His time came
eventually. and in the year 1861 the
editor was formidable and Seward $
"foreetfulness" was the direct cause OF
losing him the presidency, position
he had long coveted. Lincoln was NOM
mated and his rise was the beginning OF a
dolefuI chapter 10 American history. In
a few months time it became apparent
that the republic was about to pass
through one of the most trying ordeals
in its history. The papers were full OF
cartoons of Lincoln, some friendly and
others hostile. As anticipated, he was
elected, and during the time that has
followed, with the exception of the two
terms of Grover Cleveland, a republican
President has occupied the White House.
There will be no great rivalry this time
for the nomination. The present in
cumbent whose star is still in the as
cendant, will doubtless be nominated
and be allowed to run his course as other
minor orbs that have waxed and waned
during the asst two score years.

ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX has de-

seIeGovernment for Macedonia.

Birmingham, Eng, June 2l.-The
Post today says it has good grounds for
stating that negotiations are proceeding
with the powers with the object of the
creation of an autonomous government
for Macedonia. France, at the request
of Great Britain, is taking the leading
role. The present idea is for one of the
continental ruling families to be given a
mandate by the powers for period OF
three years with local force of interna'
tional gendarmerie to support him.

Stevenson for President 2

1t has developed in New York that
that some of the democratic leaders from
the south aud west who have been in con-
ference with local democrats are prepar-
ing to spring the name of former Vice
President Adlai Stevenson as OZARK
horse" at the national democratic con-
vention, upon the theory that he is the
only man who can harmonic the Cleve-
land democrats and the Bryan democrats.
1t is urged in his favor that Cleveland
accepted him as running mate in 1892,
and that he could not say anything
against him as candidate for president
az the present time. On the other hand
he was a candidate with Bryan in 1896,
and the Nebraskan would be forced to
support man who ran on the ticket
with him in 1900. Neither the Cleveland
democrats nor the Bryan democrats, it is
argued, would be able TO impeach his
regularity, since he was once elected and
once defeated as a national candidate for
the second place on the ticket himself.

IN MEMORIAM.

Tn loving but sad remembrance of our
father. Capt. JAMES II. BEACH, who de-
parted this life four years ago.
Four wears have passed and still we miss lou,
Friends may think the wound is healed;
But thew little know the sorrow
That lies within our hearts concealed.
In the graveyard, softly sleeping.
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly
In his lonely, silent grave.
Farewell, Father, may your slumber
BE as gentle as your love,
And when God will call us h0meward,
May we meet in heaven above.
By HIS CHILDREN.

New York Stock Market.

New York, June 81, 10 a. m.-The
stock market opened quiet and generally
little frmer. The bullish sentiment
was encouraged again today by con-
tinuance of strength and development of
aggressiveness on the part of the bulls
in new quarters of the stock market.
The feature of the industrial group was
the persistent accumulation of U. s.
Steel pfd. The speculation as a whole
is not especially active, but tradess are
disposed to buy stocks on all reactions
and the uDdertone is satisfactory.
