flow next. Sometimes they go into
Hudson bay and sometimes into the
Gulf of Mexico.
There are times when certain lakes
discharge al both ends, the northern
outlet taking the flow through Red
river or Rainy river into Lake Win
nipeg, and thence into Hudson bay;
while the southern outlet leads TO the
Mississippi.
Therefore the dividing line be-
tween the Mississippi drainage basin
and that of Hudson bay is indefinite
and in many places cannot be deter
mined and the consideration Of these
two basins in connection with their
water supplies and the uses that can
be made thereof must logically be
taken up together. The important
thing in connection with this fact is
the question OF the division of water

Republican Conventions in the Past

just power and dignity Of a republican
national convention, and upon the
party itself, is the most shallow that
has yet been attempted. II has been
undertaken in behalf of one mans
personality. He assumes that he is
bigger than the party and can force 1t
TO bend al his will. An American of
true greatness would not go into such
a political undertaking. But some
demagogues are dangerous because
they lack high qualities, yet have the
cunning to make a counterfeit popular
ity pass for ability, and sensational
noise for strength.
Some OF the supporters of this
second, and infinitely smaller, third
term candidate, have even begun to
tamper with the personal integrity of
presidential electors, not one of whom
in the history of the country has ever
betrayed the trust
II is unpleasant TO deal with such
depravity. but il is not necessarily a
sign Of the decay OF the American
character.

JUST AN EVERYDAY WOMAN.

When Bert II. Franklin. the private
detective employed for the defence in
the Mcnamara cases, was on the wit
ness stand in the trial OF Attorney
barrow, charged like himself with
jury bribing, he told what purports
70 be the reason he decided TO give
states evidence.
As soon as Franklin knew he was TO
be brought 10 trial, he went home and
that in case he got or with two years,
as he hoped 10 do, she would be taken
care OF while he was in prison by
barrow. Her answer, according TO
his testimony, was: IF you bring one
dollar OF dishonest money into my
house, vii leave you in twenty-four
hours" That. he SAYS, is what caused
him TO confess. in the hope Of elem
ency.
The figure which Franklin has pre-
/ sented On the dynamite cases is not
one TO be admired According 10 his
own confession, he is a rascal of the
first order And the charge is made
/ that from the first he played double
with the men who employed him. The
story Of his talk with his wife may be
a mere invention. But if Mrs. Franklin
did not make the answer to him which
he claims she did, she probably would
have done so had such a conversation
taken place.
The alleged ultimatum Of Mrs.
Franklin rings true to the instincts
and conscience Of womanhood. Won
an, when It comes to the great moral
principles of life, stands unswervingly
by the right regardless of law or con,
sequences. She may be helpless &c
prevent evil-doing by husband, son OF
brother, but she never surrenders her
position Of hostility toward it anC
never ceases her pleading. If Frank
lin was not induced TO turn states evi
dence by his wife, he might well have
been. for that has been done in {
thousand other cases.
Women such as Mrs. Franklin /.
represented TO be are not a rarity
They are the common, everyday kinC
and but for them men would make thf;
world much more sad and cruel than +
is.

Cst. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

There never has been a republican
national convention that lacked the
courage of its convictions and right
full authority. or that faltered in fidel-
ity to patriotic principles. There
have been divisions of the party, but
the national conventions have held a
steady course ad well illustrated the
sOundness Of American manhood. In
1872 occurred withdrawal from the
party that called itself the liberal
republican movement. II ended in a
fusion with the democratic party and
defeat at the polls so overwhelming
that the liberal republicans were
heard OF no more. In 1850 appeared
the first third-term movement with
General Grant as a passive candidate
II failed, but Grant instead Of bortng
spoke in the campaign for the nom
inee. The silver walkOut from 2 re-
publican. national convention took
place in 1896. IL was as complete a
failure as the previous effort at insur-
reCtion.
The present reckless raid upon the
