Listen. to the Republic: "It is not often that a state 1 within it ominates twice in succession borders a president of; the United Spates, but Missouri gives prom ise of achieving that distinction. Mc- Kinlcy w is .nominated in St. Louis in iSoi and the democratic national c'on vention ti be held in Kansas City on July 4th gives every promise of nomin ating the next president of the United States."

In his haste he runs out in the rain or the snow hatless and unprotected. Then comes xne sequel bron chitis, or som e - other disease of the respiratory or gans. The most effective remedy for bronchial or pulmonary disease is Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Almost all remedies pre scribed for such diseases contain opium or some narcotic which soothes by stupe faction. "Golden Medical Discov ery" contains neither narcotics nor. alcohol. It stops coughs by curing their cause. It heals weak lungs, builds up wasted tissues, and promotes the health of every or gan of the body. "I am. s railroad agcat, v 1 ifa 1. B.

No progress is being made of late in the contention of the woman suf fragist leaders for the privilege of equal suffrage, and this is largely on account of the opposition of women themselves. At the June flection in Oregji a pr posed constitutional arnendment a'low tng women to vote is to be passed up on by the electors and . for several months there fcas been zi organisation of some 61" the leading women of Port land, who liave ?33 ::! i themselves together for he p'trp.se of helping in itf .'efeat. , - I . . .': ' , . : ! In other parts of the country the same sort of opposition is' witnessed. It is an opposition against which it is hardest to contend. The willingness of men to extend the suffrage to women would have been made more manifest long ago in practical measures grant ing tnem the privilege if it had uot been for the stout resistance by womej themselves, and the success of these feminine opponents in the pas; has em boldened them j now ic redouble their efforts whenever the project 'is waged by their ; suffrage sisters on Congress or the legislatures of sta:;s. -j As a cpn;jiuc'i:e of such feuim'iie opposition, the house of the Massachu setts legislature, oa Tuesday, Teh. 27th, rejected a bill :or munrC'p.il woman suffrage by the j great majority of 14 to 32. Two other women suffrage bills now before thalt legisliturc, : iie for general and the other for married women's suffrage, it may be assumed will share the same fate, far jhc or ganized feminine opposition to them all has tecri stronger and more porrist- ent than ever before. The sam- is true with regard fo the prop jsiiixi -is niadc to congress. Obviousiy .o long is the gr;a: ma jority pi wir-men cry out against the imposition of such a burden 0-1 them men will n jt disregard" their w- lits. and every attempt 'of th; woman &f- ragists to acroirpni their 1 nun cse has made h manifest in tiearlv all the other states that there i& such a major- 1 "j m..n, niMi.au, uiereiorc, 1 of continuing to brincr tn.'w-r trwu. i- luence on legislatures, it has beccme necessary for .them to turn all their en ergies on women themselves in order, if possible, to -iducaie their sisters at least to toleration of the franchise, though it cannot be denied that, 30 far, many years of agitation have rather increased than overcome THE CONVENTIONS AND 190a OF j8y6 j' The order in which the national con tentions of tlie two great parties are to be hold in 1900 is ithe same as it was in-i8y6, and the. dates at which they arc to take place Mill be nearly the same as at that time. The republi can convention met earlier than the democratic four years ago, and will meet earlier this year, bust the interval or time separating, the' two -gatherings will be! about six days shorter than it was then. The republican convention of 1896 opened in St. Louis on June 16th. while the democratic national gathering began in Chicago on July 7th. This year the republicans will meet in Philadelphia on June 19th, and the democrats will convene in Kansas City on July 4th, the republicans com ing together three days later in the year than they did four years ago and the democrats three "days earlier than they idid then. ; It is not probable, -however, that either convention will be as interesting in 1900 as it was in 1896. In the repub lican gathering there will be no contest on the presidential candidate this year, Mr. McKinley's nomination by accla mation being assured. iProbably there will be only one name mentioned in the democratic convention also, Mr. Bry an's nomination being practically cer tain by an overwhelming majority or by a unanimous vote. These elements of uncertainty eing removed, it will riot be possible'to invest the gatherings this year with the interest which those of four years ago had. There will be rto "walk-outs' in either convention this year. . while there was a split in all the. parties, small and great, in i8. A split is practically assured in the pop uHst party, of course, as the rupture in the conference the other day of the populist national committee in Lin coin, Neb., shows a division in thai party which can hardly W closed up at the national gatherings of the two wings which take place en, May 9th, one of them in Cincinnati and the other in Sioux Falls. S. Df t A new issue will be before the con ventions of 1900. that of national ex pansion, and this fact wHl give an inter est to the gatherings of the big parties, but it will not call put anything like the concern which wa5 fek regarding the snlver declaration of both these par ties in 1896. ' The republicans will de clare for expansion by a practicaHy unanimous vote. "Nobody in the Phil adelphia convention will lead revolt against anything which will come up in that body like the one which .Teller and Cannon directed in the St. Louis gathering four years ago. The gold standard will he unanimously and em phatically indorsed in Philadelphia. There is some' doubt as to the deliver ance which the democrats will make on " Vho Gives to M,l 'Denies AIL" - ?

A writer in the St Louis Globe-Democrat tbinfcs this question will probably be straddled. as the tariff used to be in democratic conventions. Whether straddled or not. however, there is not the faintest chance "that there will he a bolt in the convention on that question, as all democrats, "anti-imperialists" and "im perialists," know that the Philippines and Puerto Rico, will be retained and that the republican idea will prevail. There' will be no cyclones in the con ventions of 1900 like those which Teller caused in St. Louis and Bryan raised in Chicago. , Nevertheless those gather ings will be historic, and will -attract the attention of the whole country.

The melons were offered for sale by a countryman, and he had a wagon full of average sized ones that is. the size. that usually sells for a nick el in the season and he was offering them from 15 cents to 25 cents each. The -melons attracted considerable at tention, and nearly every" passer-by stopped to take a good look at them. The sale of melons, however, was rath er slow, due largely, to the fact that most white people were afraid to eat them and most negroes had spent all their money on Christmas and didn't have the price. One of the melons that was cut open by a purchaser appeared to haye as firm and healthy meat as the average melon fresh from the vine.

The total membership of the senate .is ninety- and until some new state is admitted into the union, a prospect now; remote in view of the act thjt there remain prac tically only three territories.! New Mex ico, Oklahoma and i Arizona in k the Southwestern group, iortyi-five votes will . be sufficient to control, tbe opera tions of the senate, as of the five silver republican senators, three, Kyle of South Dakota, and Stewart and Jones of Nevada, are in accord with the re publican) party on all , questions apart from hie silver coinage. The terms of. thirty senators, seventeen Republicans, eleven democrats, one silver republican and one populist, will expire coinci dentally with the beginning of the term of the next president, and from present indications the silver republican will be succeeded by, a straight -out! republican in South Dakota, the populist will be succeeded' by a straight-out democrat in North Carolina, and the republicans will lose two senators in Colorado and Montana, and will gain one in Dela ware, the effect of wnich would be to make the next senate stand (fifty repub licans, twenty-eight democrats, four populists and four silver republicans, irrespective ol the vacancies ;-in Penn sylvania, California,, Delaware and Utah. , . I , Pennsylvania isia stanchly republican state; California Is usually republican; Delaware and Utah are doubtful, but with both of the latter democratic and all ejusting vacancies filled, -the repub licans ' would have a membership of fifty-two in the senate during the first two years of iSie next republican admin istration asagainst thirty democrats, four populists and four silver republi cans. On- March 4. 190.V the terms of thirty senators will "expire, sixteen re publicans, eight democrats, three pop ulists and three silver republicans. In Iowa. New Hampshire, North Dakota. Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Vermont. Oregon and Wisconsin., the re-election of republicans is practically assured. In Georgia. Arkansds. Louisiana. South Carolina, Florida. Alabama and Mis souri the re-election of democrats is most probatble. whilie two of the silver republicans. Kyle of South Dakota and Jones of , Nevada. Or their successors, are! likely to be in Ithe republican col umn now, and the democrats are likely to make gains in Maryland, Kntucky North Carolina, anid perhaps Cabfor rtia. If the populists re-elect their three members and silver republicans retain Teller, their, leader. tin office, as seems probable. . this would be the division of 'the senate rnieeting on March 4, 1903: Republicans forty-six; democrats thirty three; silver republicans four; populists Jour; and -New York, Ohio. Illinois. Indiana and Wisconsin uncertain. All five of these states are important, and any forecast of their probable action in the election Of senators three years hence would be affected by too many contingencies to be of piuch present ac count Without counting any of these states, however, the republicans would f-rrci-r mwnhprs. a clear maior- I ity until 1005. the year succeeding the next presidential election, so that .re publican control for the next, five years in the senate is -about as thoroughly secure as anything may be in American politics.
