Our esteemed Republican contem- cratic committee will, at its meeting in New Haven on Thursday, practi- cally name the Heading candidates or the party's State ticket. They doubt less found this assumption upon the Republican custom of allowing a few leaders to dictate nominations Such is not the custom in the Democratic party; its nominations are made in its conventions. Quite probably the members of the State committee fav- or certain selections-for instance. Ex-Chief Justice Baldwin for Cover nor, and perhaps Mayor Buckingham of this city for Lieut.. Governor-but the committee holds no mortgage to be foreclosed on the State convention which is a a.power unto itself. We say this, not in opposition to either of the very worthy gentlemen named, but in support of the old-time policy of the party which is hostile to dictation from any source save the rank and file as represented in the regular and authorized conventions.
 We do not believe that the com mittee will adopt the Republican policy of machine rule. Its members are rightly entitled to entertain opin- ions and to express them unofficially, but not to put them forth in the form of a virtual order to the State con- yention.

CHINESE fANMAKlNG.

The Industry Carried on In Ono Dis-
 trict For Centuries.
 The fanmaking industry in China was started centuries ago in the vil- lage of Pengshow. at Ampow. about three miles from Swatow. It was for merly confined to women in various households, but for many years past every family in the village has been devoted to the work, all the members of the families being occupied in the manufacture. Only the open fan is manufactured in this district.
 For the frame the split bamboo is repeatedly rived until each piece is sufficiently slender and flexible. There threadlike pieces of bamboo are ar ranged in row, attached to each oth- CT by a thread passed crosswise through the middle. This thread is fastened 10 semicircular strip of bamboo. giving the fan its shape. The ribs are then slightly heated and bent at the ends. The fan has now the peculiar ard characteristic shell-like shape at the top. Very f1imsy silk gauge is then pasted on the face and a kind of tissue-like paper on the back.
 After the handle is attached the bor- der of the fan is black vanished and the gauge is coated with a chalk and water mixture. The handles are made of bamboo. various kinds of hard wood, bone and ivory. The hand paint ing on the fans is cleverly done, in some instances being works of art Exchanre

A PAIR OF BOOTS.

 Mistaken Identity.

They Figured In an Amusing Case of
 Mistaken Identity.
 It may be doubted if there ever oc- cured a more amusing instance of mistaken identity than that afforded by Theodore Hook, the English humor- ist of his time, and it all came about through a pair of boots. Hook was travelling along the south coast of Eng land and arrived in the course of his journey at Dover.
 Alighting at the Ship hotel he chang ed his boots, ordered slight dinner and went out for stroll through the town. Returning at the appointed time, he was surprised to find the whole establishment in confusion. A crowd had collected outside the door, The master of the house was standing at the foot of the stairs with two can dies in his hands, and on Theodore's s entrance he walked backward before him and conducted him into the prin- cipal saloon, where all the walters were standing and a magnificent re- past had been provided. The wit was much amused at the dignity to which he had been promoted, but, being au easy going fellow, made no scruples and. sitting down. did full justice to what was set before him. Next day he signified his intention of departing and ordered coach, when, to his as- tonishment. carriage and four drove up to convey him to his destination. He inquired with some apprehension what he was to pay for all this gran deur and was no less astonished than gratified on receiving the answer, Nothing whatever. your royal high ness" He was never more thoroughly mystified, but the next night, on talk ing off his boots. which he had bought ready made just before he went to Dover. he found HI. s. Fl. the Prince of Orange" written inside them. They had been originally made for the prince, who was then in England suing for the hand of Princess Charlotte, and notice had been given that all his expenses while in the country should be set down to the charge of the gov arnment-Minneapo News.

Though the commission plan of city government originated in Galveston, Texas, about 10 years ago, it's highest development is found in Des Moines, Iowa, where it was adopted about three years ago. As in Galveston, Des Moines provided a commission of five men, each managing a depart ment, but added thereto the recall" under which 25 per cent. of the vot- CTS can secure special election to cust any of these men, the initiative by which 10 per cent. of the voters can obtain a popular vote on meas ures rejected by the commission, and the referendum" under which 10 per cent of the voters can obtain a popu- lar vote on measures adopted by the commission. Franchises can be awarded only by direct vote of the people.
 All the interests antagonized the adoption of this plan, but it was car ried by vote of 6,376 to 4,0S7.

Senator Depew's recent assertion

Senator Depew's recent assertion tha. the war with Spain could have been ayerted if Spain could have se- cured assurances that a proposition looking to the independence of Cuba would be acceptable to this country, is very strongly denied. on "the best authority" As President Mckinley was understood to be at heart opposed to the war, the Depew story did not receive much attention. In reality the war was inevitable from the mo- ment of the destruction of the battle snip Maine in the harbor of Havana. The American people could not be persuaded that the explosion was not of Spanish origin. As the wreck is now to be raised, some light may be thrown upon this long disputed ques- ton.
