ONEIDA REPUBLICANS SPLIT.
Likely to BE Two County Convention
and Two Tickets.

UTICA, Sept. 29.-The Republicans OF
Oneida county are at present In the worst
tangle in their political history, and all
because the Utica Republicans demand
iairer representation In the conventions,
which the Republicans Of the city OF Rome
and the rest OF the county Will not concede
it.
To-day was the time set for the county
convention to meet and name candidates
for the Offices Of Sheriff, Surrogate, Senator,
DC, but the candidates were not placed in
nomination. Several court orders obtained
by the leaders in the factional fight which
for months has disrupted the Republican
organization ~hereabouts efectually pre-
vented the holding Of a convention to-day
and incidentally widened the breach to an
extent which bodies i'll for the Republican
ticket in November.
The convention was called to order in
Rome to-day as per schedule, but that wa
as far as it got. The convention was
blocked by two court orders, one secured
by the county Republicans, which restrained
Chairman Coggeshall from placing the
~slxty-six delegates from Utica on the con-
vention roll. This was an alternative witt
granted by Justice Andrews. The othei
was an order by Justice Scripture TO show
cause why the sixty-six delegates trcm
Utica should not be seated In the convention.
these two orders placed a legal aspect on
the matter which the delegates could not
settle themsel yes, and the convention
adjourned until October 3.
In the meantime It Is expected that the
courts will settle the question OF REPRESENTA-
uon in conventions as between Utica and
the rest OF the county, and Il Is possible
mat the nominations Of candidates on the
county ticket will then be proceeded with.
Dut this plan is not assured, however.
Chairman Fred II. Coggeshall Of the
republican county committee waived his
position in the convention to-day and perE
United Lawyer Edwin H. Risley OF Utica
70 preside and adjourn the convention
until October 8. Lawyer Risley did this,
put IN addition named Utica as the place
ior holding the convention, claiming that
the waiver Of authority which Chairman
I,oggeshall had signed vested In him iris
eyl tull power to call the convention in
such place az he chose.

AMSTERDAM, N. Y, Sept. 20.-Former

follows to William Randolph Hearst, the
Democratic nominee for Governor:

DOUGHNUTS AND PIE.

DOughnuts and pie are receiving the
recognition in the congress of the
United States to which their import
ance entities them. Sectional lines
were drawn in the house of represen-
tatives on the appropriation for the
bureau of chemistry, which is waging
war on doughnuts and pie in favor of
a simple cereal and plain meat diet.
A representative of Illinois, where
the farmers raise the raw materials
for breakfast food, denounced the in
habitants of the "pie belt" whom he
called "benighted." Representative
Perkins, of Rochester, N Y, promptly
came to the defense of his constituents
and said:
1.-THE bone and sinew of this coun-
try were not formed by eating finely
chopped grass. The founders of our
country lived on pie and doughnuts
They were men. If we eat the whole
some food they did we may yet accom-
plish something real good, as they
did"
Mr.. Perkins, of Rochester is right.
The prejudice of the ignorant against
pie and doughnuts is caused by their
never having eaten a real handsome
domestic pie or doughnut. The pies
they have affiliated with were machine
made, turned out by the gross by mer-
cenary men, without loving care and
individual interest. What they call
doughnuts are not doughnuts at ALL
but crulers, which rank with "sink-
ers" and beef and" No real pie or
doughnut is ever sold for money.
A fried pie ceases to be pie when
it is fried. Neither can the raw ma
terial of doughnut become dough-
nut until it is boiled in lard. Gen.
uine pies and doughnuts are never
sordid or sodden.

THE RUSSIAN DOUMA.

AS a maker of history the Russian

THE TEACHING OF ENGLISH.

The announcement that Cornell uni

prize because none of the submitted
essays were up to the standard recalls
attention to the familiar charge that
our colleges do not teach English.
That they do not is admitted. Col
lege men often say that it is the neg
iected business of the preparatory
schools. Wherever the fault may be-
the use of the language is not taught.
College professors themselves are often
guilty Of the most clumsy blunders in
their efforts to express themselves.

as an invalid dependent upon the
bounty of relatives, Governor Mead
holds that he has violated the condl-
tons of his pardon and has had him
returned to a cell in the penltentlary.
This is indeed a strange doctrine. The
modern idea of a penitentiary is that
it should be reformatory as much as
a place of punishment for crime. 1t is
intended to make good and useful cit
liens Of bad ones. But Governor Mead
takes the position that when an ex-
convict becomes a useful member of
society, earning living for himself
and family by honorable employment,
he should be returned to the peniten-
tiary.

he was sentenced.
1t is said that 1.-The quality of mercy

appears to be straining it to the last
drop in his dealing with Spencer. The
governor has pardoned some notorious
and habitual criminals Internationally
and they are now at large, a constant
menace to life and property. He has

but which is in itself nothing but an
ornament to the state.
The agrarian demands of the douma
include the appropriation of lands.
The forcible dispossession of many of
the bloated landholders of Russia and
the turning over of the lands to the
peasantry for cultivation as necessary
to the life of the state. 1t is a process
similar to the land acts for Ireland
whereby the owners may be legally dis
possessed against their will by a COM
mission which, after hearing, fixes the
value of the lands and awards title to
actual settlers who apply for por-
tons of them. There is compensation,
of course. Whether the Russian douma
contemplates buying out the landown-
ers is not clear, but probably not,
as there is not money enough, either in
the public treasury or in the pockets
of the peasants to do it. But there
is moral justification for the dispos-
sessing of many of the present holders
who have with the land power to per-
petuate a condition of serfdom in Rus

The douma's program is a large one

many bitter conflicts, but the manner
in which the douma has gone about
its work is significant of the assur-
