THE WAY POLITICAL STRAWS
ARE BLOWN


Great is the guessing just now as
to what will be the outcome of the
republican national convention, and a
great many horoscopes are being cast.
At the convention there will be 9sl
delegates, and 491 of them will have
to vote for one man before he can be
nominated, and of course each of the
candidates for nomination is doing
all he can one way or another to have
the delegates as they are selected in
the congressional districts of the
states instructed. As yet less than
100 have been chosen, and of that
number more than 30 have been in
structed to vote for Taft; Fairbanks
comes next with about 81, and Can
non has one. OF course the political
leaders In the various districts are
claiming that SO many delegates can
be secured for such and such candi-
dates, and according as these claims
are made q political auguT can be pro-
mulgated. At this writing Taft's ap-
parent strength is total of BOG votes
out of the $50; Hughes, governor of
New York, is next with ia; for Sem
ator Knox IA are claimed; Cannon is
conceded Sc; Fairbanks 30; La Follett,
and Cummins Of Iowa, rs each. The
Republican vote in the south is un-
certain and is contested by Foraker,
there being 24S votes.
The battle royal is on now in earn
est and will be waged for the
next three months with an
earnestness that only the man with a
political bee in his bonnet knows how
to evince. 1t is generally conceded
that Taft has tremendous backing
in the preference that President
Roosevelt has shown and expressed
for him. Hughes, however, is recog-
nized as astrong opponent who speaks
softly but in his adherence to duty
and determination carries t'big stick"
that is being more and more appre-
ciated as the man becomes known.
But, after all, the views ola presi-
dent as to his successor have not
counted for much In this country.
Hayes In 1880 issued an order forbidd-
ing federal officeholders to work for
any candidate, yet nearly all of them
went in teeth and toenail, for John
Sherman and he came very near to
being nominated. President Grant
made no secret Of his preference for
Conkling, but the latter never stood
any chance with the convention.
There is nothing SO uncertain as
politics, and whether any of the men
who are now prominent in the field
will be nominated Is merely matter
of conjecture. No one can be sure
until the convention in June has de-
finitely made its choice. The Path
finder.

Last Number Entertainment Course

The Old Plantation Quartet appear
ed at the opera house last Friday
evening to large and appreciative
audience-the largest but one of the
entertainment course. The enter
tainment presented was excellent, as
was shown by the number of encores
given. Quartet, solo and instru-
mental numbers were equally good,
every member Of the troupe showing
himself versatile artist.
This was the last number of the
course of entertainments procured
under heavy guarantee by ten of
our business men. At the time the
contract was made each member Of
the committee was in some doubt as
to whether it would prove financial
success or not, but felt that something
of the kind must be had for the win
ter months. But the venture has
proven . success in every way, even
to paying small dividend. A great
number of the local people subscribed
for season tickets, and the sale of
single tickets for each number has
surpassed the anticipations Of the
most sanguine.
A course will undoubtably be ar
ranged for the next season. Those
who will take up the matter will
probably arrange for higher class of
numbers, taking the patronage given
the course just closed as basis.

The Spanish Galleon.

Primarily the galleon was but a
peaceful merchant ship, but by the
irony of fate she became, almost from
her inception, a center of the fiercest
fighting. Square rugged and high of
stem and stern, broad of bow and low
of waist, with massive bulwarks and
forecastle, and poop three and four
decks high, she possessed a pictur.
esQue appearance, but little of sensi-
BILE naval architecture. The stem was
clumsy, broad and blunt, and smashed
heavily through the waves, to the
great detriment of speed: this and the
towering stern presented such sur
face to the wind that the difficulties
of steering were quite formidable, and
six or eight men at the wheel were
not unusual. The method in this ap-
parent madness of marine construc-
ton was the landlubber's instinct,
still strong in men of the sea of those
days, to reduce all naval maneuvers
to the stand-up-and-knock-down tao
tics of the land fight on a common
platform-Scribner's Magazine.

the peninsula for Christendom and put
the Moors to rout Some of his men

troyed the Moorish rearguard with
showers of stones, while Pelayo him.

flower of his cavalry. Immediately
after the victory his followers pro
claimed him king of Spain in the vii
lage which was the scene of his tri-
umph, and the title of Count of Cova-

sumed, has ever since been borne by
his successors.
