the state of New York has been
one of quiet effectiveness in the in

wherein be has permitted neither

work, not, perhaps, with so much

less to gain with Hughes as Presi-

Failures of Presidential Favorites

We are told that Secretary Taft
will lead on the first ballot in the
Republican National Convention
of 1908. There is chance that
he will lead. But the man who is
ahead on the first Iineul., unless
in the case of a denomination of a
president, does not always carry
off the prize. Seward led at the
outset in the Republican Conven
ton of 1860, but Lincoln got the
nomination. Blaine was far ahead
of any of his rivals on several
ballots in 1876, yet it was Hayes
who Won the candidacy. Grant
led Cor long time in the conveu-
tion of 1888, but it was Gar field
who was nominated. Sherman
was SO far ahead of all the other
aspirants in 1855 for several bal
lots that it looked as if he would
get the candidacy, but Harrison
was the lucky man, and not Sher-
man. It has been a rule among
the Republicans to renominate
their elected presidents, the only
exception being in the case of
Hayes, who said at the outset that
he would accept only one term.
But a new man has to fight for the
candidacy. 1t the new man does
not carry off the prize on the first
ballot the chances will be against
him. This was shown in the case
of Seward, of Blaine in his first
convention, Of Sherman, and of
ex-President Grant when be
sought a third term.
The only Republican aspirant
who led on the first ballot, and
who, falling to win on that ballot,
was successful on a subsequent
division, was Blaine in 1854, who
was ahead from the beginning,
and who received the nomination
on the fourth bailot.-Leslie's s
Weekly.

Hew Mineral Deposits Affect Popu.
lation.

The history of American minin g
towns presents many examples OF
the determining effect of mineral
deposits. Butte, Mont, is CITY
of $4,000 inhabitants, supported
by copper underlying about one
square mile of land surface. The
metal forms the sole raison d;etre
of this considerable settlement, for
in other respects the region is un-
productive and unattractive: with
out the mines the locality would
support with difficulty 100 souls.
The mineral deposits of Nevada
occur beneath strips of land few
hundred feet in width and in the
midst Of hopeless desert: but they
have formed plausible pretext for
adding state to the Union and
two senators to Congress. The
decline of the lodes has now reduc-
ed Virginia City to a population of
$500, rs against 1000 in 1880.
when it was one of the busiest
cities in America, 10 the midst of a
| superlatively "booming" state. In
1900 Nevada was credited with a
population of 42.335-a figure
somewhat under that of 1870: thus
this state, with an area twice that
Of New England, has less popula
| ton than Waterbury, Conn.
Through the existance of mineral
products in close proximity, Pitts
burg has become the emporium
for coal, petroleum and iron. It,
case differs, however from the
above, for its deveIodment was fal
less artificial, and its destiny coule
never be that of the regions al
ready mentioned. Three navigable
rivers converge at this point; val
leys sunk i'll plateau provid,
natural routes for approaching
railways. Natural and unuatura
access, it may be added, are con
trasted at Pittsburg by the fac
that one railroad has been forced
to expend s35, 900, 900 to effect a,
entrance to the city by overcoming
Ia minor geographic obstacle. -

First Surgeon West Of the Mississippi.

DR.. Antoine Francois Sangraine
settled in St. Louis in 1900, and
was the first surgeon TO locate
west of the Mississippi River. He
spent all of his leignre time in ex-
periments in chemistry and with
electricity. The Indians were
frequent visitors at his laboratory,
and, not understanding the mys-
terry of his experiments, held him
in great awe and wanted to wor-
ship him as a god.

over, paid for the postage in a
piece of coon skin, which was
legal tender, and walked on.
The first lucifer matches ever
made in this country were made
