Ross Hotse In this city, lime, the night
prior to the da) ol ho'.dlag the popul'i
count contention.
Two bsds in room, one slne tod one
double. A bed rock dirr.Jcrat occupies tSe
t'.pglc bed tt half put II o'clock and appar
ently acund leep. Ester to populi.t
tlelrg&tcs jait in (rem the caucus.
Tint delegate: "Vei, e mut hare a
secret ballot in ordei to prevent the nominat
ion of any of the new political adventurer
that have recently corse into the paity.'
Second delegate: 'Tl.ai's to. We muit
keep Rou Humphrey, Jim Morgan, C B
Montague, J B VH ar.d o:bers of recent
conversion in the back ground. To tell Ton
the trutb I think all the; want i an cfti:e."
First delegate: Yes, and the old party
hacks that have been hunting cfnce fcr the
list nf:een years must be knocked out. Say
we will let some of tbem go to the state con
vention, That is good enough for them.'
S:cond delejite; Vss, wa'll B-nd lock
Hendrex, John L)rant II W Parker and
some of the o-her worn ont stagers to the
lU'.e convention but they must not be put on
the county 'Iclcet.''
And later events showed that thi6 prcgram
was almost literally fulCUtd. One man
who left his old party becauie t.e said tliiDgi
went too much by the cut aud d'ied plan
and who was a Candidate before tbe pop
ulist convention says he never sa any con.
vention carried oa so per'ecily after the
tut and dried plan as the populist convent
ion.
Senators who dicker and tinker for
local interests while tba tariff bill in
under consideration are not) prophetic
s'tesmin.
Once fix the dcjtrioe that tbs tariff
abould ba a distribution of favors and
where is protection?
Some of ttese Senators evidently have
do thought f jr the morrow.
If the tariff is a focal question and tbe
passage of a bill la a mattsr of selfish and
localized maneuvers, free trade can be
'he only outcome - absolute free trade and
direct taxation.
For the South and West tbera Is no
thing whatever in a tariff. Wo racrlfioe a
great deal and get no return. We pay
taxes to the Government, bounties to
Eastern in juatri is and endure a depress
lug restriction on our trade.
Itiefree trade sentiment of tbe west
and Soulh accepted tbe Wilson bill as a
eomprorrite betweon tbe bad past and
the future. The Soutb and West consent
ed to Its liberal concession to Industries
long .-inducted un ier a vicious system
If tbe East will exhibit none of the spirit
of confession; II a gradual teduction sua
a supplementary Income tax aro to to be
fought bitterly, then tbe I.su9 miy be
best made between au Immediate taillT
jr revenue and the pets of McKin'eyism
This fight against lu a Wilson bill may be
the detrjyr of couipioiimc.
The hoitile reception given to Mr John
Mcrlcyjin I:1andiia very discouraging tigr.
of the times with respect to home rule, aij
the mote that it was not distinctly t. ex
clusively the work ot the (action called
I'arncllite," from which nothing would be
surprising. The insulting placard which
greeted Mr MorlVg in Cork, may betreited
as mere ebi hitjon of the na:ionl 'tigli
spirits. But H waa Mr John Kerry, who
was elected u an amMrneUite, wto made
the speech in DiiMin deno-nc Ing Mr Mor
ley, and gracefully referring to Mr Glads
tone as the Grand Old Humbug. It It as
been cviJer.t, everetnee the inticdncti-n of
the last Heme Rule Mil, and indeed before,
that the chief obstacle In the m ay of grant
ing home rul to theIrih lay with the
Irish themselves. If they had been united,'
and had shown firmness ami moderation,
'heir caue was secure. While Iarne! j
lived and remained hitrgelf he imposed I
union and m nlcrailon. After his collapse.
and even before hfa death, it oe came evident
1 hat they lacked a leader tf hi qaa.ily.
Tltat they i timid now allow ll motive tube
dividetljuptn a miner ;iution, such as that
of amncfttp to lawbreakers i of ill omen
for iLcis caucus. Ip2cial!y li it ominlcu
that so large a part of them should have
turned against Mr Motley, for. excepting
Mr GUditnne hlmwlf, no t.nglieh states
man has worked harder in tSeir cause or
put his popularity at home more at hazard
for their save.
Mr llannikcr Heaton has been gathering
some very interesting marriage eutitic
concerning the customs in vogue in diftVr
ont countries, from vrhicb one reads with
amusement, and perhaps vith a certain
degree ol amveineiit, that throughout
Japan a man may get a divorce if his wife
talks too iiincli. Ordinary people may
suppov thai ibis harsh law will have the
effect of curbing IcKpiacity, bul it has not.
Japanese laiiies are the met talkative of
their s?x, nn.l divorces are coitmiin among
them. In Thibet a woman is enlitlo.l to
thr? lnisb.in'h. In M-.lb.nirne n man
may sivure a divorce if liis wife goN drunk

her hou'i li.ilil duties.

bJSO IV WRIGHT, MART MILLIER.
Secretary, Chairman Pro Tem.
The firm stand taken by Secretary of the
Kavy Herbert in enforcing the regulations
as to the employment of mechanics is high
ly to be praised. These regulations prac
tically exclude politics from this branch of
tbe service and place all men in the yards
on an equality. ' Pulls" avail not, and
partisanship is of no account. This is not
only far better for the Government high
officials say that the excellent and economic
work of the Washington Xavy Yard would
have been wholly impossible without these
regulations but it is fair to the mechanics.
So long as tbe secretary is. like Mr Herbert,
faithful to the system, all will go well, but
it is very desirable that the system be
established by law, and be made perman
ent.
Tbe aena;e has agreed to vote on the
Bland seigniorage bill at 2 p m Thursday
next.

bj the dealer who brings out tome
thing else, that pays him better, and
says that it is " just as good." Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is guarantied. If it don't benefit
or cure, you have your money back.
No other medicine of its kind is
so cert am and effective that it can
be gold so. Is any other likely to
be " just as good " ?
As a blood-cleanser, flesh-builder,
and strength - restorer, nothing can
equal the "Discovery." It's not
like the sarfaparillasj or ordinary
"spring medicines." At all sea
sons, and in all cases, it purifies, in
vigorates, and build3 up the whole
system. For every blood-taint and
disorder, from a common blotch or
eruption, to the worst scroful, it
is a perfect, permanent, guaranteed
rcmedv.
