Many Democrats -wera 'from the first 'opposed to the financial -principle of the Democratlo platform. ; pthers became tired of following: a lost cause " But last and most appealing was the fact that 'natural conditions bad settled this as they had wished, though not according to the methods .which they had advocated.' There was duction of gold, and the per capita much, that nature accomplished,. what VO wj cvg iDte.uyu. With this weakened sentiment all the preponderating sentiment In tha east and south that this feature of tha financial question was permanently settled, the two wings of the. party laced each other at St Louis. - The chief aentlment there, convention land was first definitely realised, was to secure common ground upon which Wli could stand, without loss of self respect. - In tha opinion of form" aa finally adopted met the' contemporaneous Issues fairly and squarely, while utterly Ignoring the silver ques tion. The west was entirely satisfied with the result and therefore entirely suited with the candidate. But the mo ment the telegram arrived ; from Judge Parker stating 'that If he were to run tha convention roust consider the saver question Irrevocably settled, the house of cards so laboriously, raised tumbled about-tbe .wrought framers. On this one question they, bad sought to' temporise, to conciliate, and It w'as upon this one ques tion that the candidate would neitner clliate. The result was unique and perhaps tha most extraordinary -ever witnessed In a national convention. That there should be anger, beat and Indignation was to be expected.'

It waa HUI, alone, It might be said. Who brought out Judge Parker, and who, more than all' other men combined effected his Whether one admires or respects Hill as a politician, he has again, become 'an Interesting figure, ' or at least was so at Bt, Louis. In the event of Parker's defeat, and, of Republican success In New York, Hill would again shrink Into comparatively small proportions, yet he Is likely to retain his mastery of the New York Democratic organ isation, and use "It for .. whatever ' purposes he desires, slight present . prospect of his accom plishing anything of great consequence.

Or was this action, and the resultant turmoil and turbulence. In his escape from the dilemma? Did Hill not know that Parker would Insist on money plank? And If so, why did he not say so, and Insist upon It In the committee and the ' convention ? But the straight, open, outspoken frank way Is not ordinarily Mr. Hill's way. He probably planned Just what happened. nis first ob Parker's nomination; then, he reasoned. weary and becoming Indifferent, would demand.

A., In Review of Reviews.) - We shall have at Panama, compact little territory of (00 square miles, under a government with ample au thority, approaching the military In Its powers . and 1 liberally supplied with funds. . ' The canal strip will be practically an Independent state, as far aa sanitation Is concerned. To protect ourselves from Infectious diseases being . Introduced from "the outside we shall have quaran tine establishments at Colon and Pan ama similar to those at New York City, where ships can be examined, and. In oase any infectious disease is found, the sick can be isolated and eared for. The part of the sanitary organisation that will involve by far tha greater par) of the expense will be the hospital sys tem for the care of the sick. With the view of keeping ' In close touch with malaria,- y silo w - f everaftd " other- infec tious diseases, It will be our endeavor to get all the sick fromtbe whole popu lation to eome to the' sanitary depart ment for treatment. - With this object in view, we expect to equip our hos pitals with the best modern appliances of every kind and with the most skilful personnel In the way of physicians and nurses. We hope in this way to .do away with the general prejudice against hospital treatment which exists svery- where among the poor and Ignorant. Taking the towns of Colon snd Panama, X do not think that It would be a large estimate to say. that when work Is ' la full swing, two or three years from now, we shall have a population on the strip of 100.000. It Is not a large estimate, particularly In the tropics, to say that 10 per eent of this 100,900 will be constantly sick from one cause or another. If our efforts are crowned with suooess we ought to be able to get half of this IS per cent under hospital con trol. This would give us a hospital population ef 8.000 to look after. We hope that a year from now, when our unaccUmated population cornea, it will be to clean, uninfected - villages, with all the present native population free from malarial infection, and that there' will be left very few rnalarial mos quitoes, and that, these few, not being able to bite any human being previously inrectea with malaria, will be harmless. This is not an- entirely theoretical sohome. In Havana yellow fever was earedfor Injuat the way we propose for malaria. The Infected human being was taken and placed under screening and treated until he was free from In fection, and thus no yellow-fever mos quito was allowed to bite him during the Infected period and beoome herself Infected. At the same time wholesale mosquito destruction waa carried on, At the end of about eight months of this work It waa. found that the num ber of yellow-fever mosquitoes had been greatly decreased, and that those that were left could find no human being in fected with yellow fever whereby they, the yellow-fever mosquitoes, might be come Infected ahd thus oonvejr It to other human beings. ' For the past three years Havana has been free from yellow fever. An unaccUmated man can go to Havana now, and though he may prob ably be bitten a good many times by yellow-fever mosquitoes,, -these mos quitoes hare had no opportunity In the past three yeass of biting a human being Infected with ' yellow fever, and there fore are themselves entirely, harmless., This condition we hope to bring about In the villages along the canal route by means similar to those adopted at Ha vana, July. 10 We proceeded by a prairie on . the upper side of .Wolf river, and at about four miles passed a creek 'II yards wide, on the south, called" Papa's ereek after a Spaniard of that name who killed . himself there.

A man who lays no claims to any Ism, creed or ' ad to me today; "It Is not what we Inherit, but what we ao- cept of our Inheritance, and what we do, which counts," That Is the whole of a great phil osophy' In a nutshell. No more absurd statement ever emanated from the lips of man than the one which declares there is no inheritance." , As well say that no man over left a sod a fortune, aa 10 say mai no man ever transmitted bis virtues snd vices to his children. But when a son in herits a fortune it is not that fact, but the --use he makes of it, which counts to Ms credit or discredit. If your father left you a gambling house and a dive, and you continue to draw revenue from them, you are slay ing your own. soul and helping to slay others. ' If you turn them into model tenement houses and establish kinder gartens and other moral Institutions in their places, you are building up your own character at the same time you benefit others. If you Inherit a violent temper and indolence -And -loth -from your parents and mane that an.excuse for your - dlsagreeableness - snd ' your depravity," you are merely allowing tha gambling den and dive to cumber Jthe ground of your mind domain. If you control those tendencies with your God- given .will, you can .clear .out the un wholesome territory and make It a garden spot of beauty.

The Republicans of this state believe that the birth of the Republican party took place ta Strong, Me., and not In Jackson, Mich., as Republicans in the west, assert ' The assertion of the Maine Republi cans is based on ths fact that the Strong Convention, which waa held on August 1864, waa the first regular assemblage of delegates to any convention ' whioh recognised the word Republican as the title of the; party.

The Michigan mass meeting passed resolutions, declaring those pres ent as members of the Republican party, a . name aumgeeted by Horace Greeley in the prevloua winter. The argument presented by the Maine Republicans Is that when the prohlbl-tlon-and anti-slavery wings of the Demo cratlo party met In Portland June 7, 864, and nominated Anson P. Morrill for governor, the presiding officer, C J. Talbot of Oxford county spoke of form ing a coalition with the old Whigs and organising the Republican party, dwell ing .upon the name at soma length. At the close of his address the convention arose and gave three cheer's for the Re publican, party. .
