The cditOr-in-chief of the Times
Dispatch in telegram 10 his paper,
sent from Denver the night before the
Convention met, said the radicals
had control Of the Convention and
bryan had control Of the radicals, ~
and we have been wondering ever
since how those kind of folks got tick
cts of admission to the Convention
hall, and who they are anyhow.
"Radicals?n Sounds familiar and
not just musical, but what possible
affinity can there be between them
and Democratic Convention? The
editor-in-chief needs to explain.

1t was wise that the members OF
the Denver Convention should have
stopped for moment, buried passion
and prejudices TO do honor to the
dead, but If the tribute to the memory
Of Mr. Cleveland was used as a covert
attack on Mr.. Bryan, it was conceiv-
ed in objectionable hate and brought
forth in very shame. Let us hope
that this isn't true. "There is glory

Many of the Methodists are stirred
on the subject Of the action Of The Ran

as being most remarkable, and we will
watch the outcome with genuine in

One OF the queer things in current
literature, or current news, appeared
in the columns Of The New York sun
recently, and was TO the effect that the
Westmoreland Club at Richmond
controlled the Democratic policies and
principles Of Virginia. The truth is
that nine-tenths Of the Virginia Demo-
Gratis are ignorant OF the existence of
such a club and are no more governed
by it than they are by last years

Straight whiskey is from one distilla-
ton Of pure grain kept in bond long
enough TO age naturally and contain
ing no other ingredients. Where sew
eral straight whiskeys are combined
the result is called blended. The mix
ture of whiskey, neutral spirits, color

compound. Imitation whiskey is
m 'de of alcohol, water, coloring and
favoring, usually prune juice, and
contains no real whiskey at all.
You can take your choice and if you

take. But TO avoid all mistakes sup
pose you avoid the straight, the blend
ed, the compound aud the imitation.

WANT THE LAW AMENDED.
Suggestion of Grocers Regarding
Sales OF InflammabIe Fluids.

Several members of the Washington
Retail Grocers' Association appeared be-
fore the board of Commissioners at ii
public hearing this morning and urged the
amendment Of the police regulations gov
erning the sale of gasoline, kerosene and
other imfiammable fluids. They want the
regulations amended in such way as to
either permit dealers in these so-called in
fiammable fluids to sell them in stores or
places where lights are burning, or else
entirely prohibit such sales after sunset
or some arbitrary hour.
The regulations governing the sale of
these fluids permit their sale from what
are known as tank wagons. and the sales
are confined to the sidewalks in front of
houses According to the arguments ad
vanced by the grocerymen, this regula ton
permits discrimination against the gro
cerymen and they do not think there is
any more danger for such dealer to sell
the fluids than to permit the sale from
the tank wagons after dark, as the pur-
chasers from the latter have to carry the
fluids from the sidewalks into their houses
and in doing so pass through lighted
rooms.
Fire Marshal ..cholson gave his views
upon the imf1arlmability of the various
oils and expressed himself as being OPP
posed to the sale of these fluids after
dark. He said the regulation preventing
these sales was drawn up because OF the
carelessness eXf ibited by some of the
smaller grocerymen in handling the
fluids.
The Commissioners have taken the mat
ter under advsement and will announce a
decision in a few days.
