A "favorite son" who cantent enter the convention with every one , «f bis State's delegates at his back is Steßdicaped from the start.

One of our contemporaries says tkat Maiden Chance, connected with both the New York Tribune and the American Protective Tariff League tan aUEanlzution whose central office is in the- city), has. with headquarters -• ■towngstown.

Wbderst.ii,ding having been that the ■wxy was to be spent in New York for ■rK intey against Morton. One manufertnn -. it is related, when asked to i gwe >l5O, declined to do so. He was a ■rnffporter of McKinley, but, he said, he "“did not believe in fighting the candiJtau- of New York In New York with Ohio money." TV manufacturers were told, it is Mated by one of them, that the New Tmrk Tribune would "warmly support MrKinley to beat Gov. Morton." All wio rrad the Tribune have found that •■L although it should lie said that our ' wi.Thbor has the excuse of its quarrel i jmth i'iatt. The Tribune's columns ev- ' cry day show plainly that it is hard at work for McKinley. - Wo should like to know what the rank and .Tie of the Republican party think •f this use of money in the interest of > McKinley, at this stage of the proceedthree oestiw Itcfore the nssemMing of the nominating convention— ’ ■ftee ccurjnervial organizing or Southern ‘ in his support, the invasion ‘ nt Sta' ■« where “favorite sons" bekrve they are fairly entitled to solid Jrfc-.—it 1 - us. the appeals to protected | w»*nn r ac tn rent for large contributions, ttr cnilectiou of funds in the Ohio iron 1 «ad steel district to be used in New TKori- and all the other indications of . a 4esire and purpose to profit by the ..f votes. As a rule, the rank «*i file know nothing about these «Azs; they are simply required to gvnau op their hats for “protection. ’ *«t there are many, nevertheless, to laOrrr knowledge these things do come. WW*i do they think about them? «n tar as our observation goes, there

ha* never been a more scandalous canvass for delegate*' vote* made by a man seeking the nomination of hl* party for the Presidency. Honest and wellinformed Republicans should ask themselves not only what must be thu uses for which so much money is required by a candidate three mouth* before the convention, but also from what source* it comes to him, to what extent he places himself under obligations to those who give it. in what way the givers expect to be repaid, and whether an aspirant who pursue* such a course while delegate* are lielng chosen is tit to hold any high office or deserve* the votes of honest men. Better Business st Tacoma. The export business done at the port of Tacoma tn February was the largest of any preceding month since business has been done then’. Central America. South Africa. Japan and China take the bulk of the exported products. A J air nnese Consulate has been established at Tacoma, with a view to the enlargement of trade between Japan and the United State* and the eventual establishment of regular lines of steamers. XV e observe by the nsvnt report of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce that Mr. Mikl Galto, the Japanese Consul, vpon application, ha* been unanimously elected to membership in that body. Despite the anxieties of the Protectionist*, the JaiMinese, who have been dubbed the Yankees of the Orient, and the Yankees who have built up Cue pushing

' cities on Puget Sound will establish a mutually profitable trade. The Japanese will send us silk, teas and camphor, and we will send them back flour, lumber. cotton and. as trade shall increase, an increasing quantity of our manufactured products as well as of our rawmaterials. The future prosperity of the Pecifii States depends upon the development of trade with the countries to the southward and westward upon the shores of the Pacific ocean. This growing trade is now mainly carried in vessels of other nations, our people having found It impossible to do business under the restrictions imposed by our Navigationlaws. But this condition eannot always continue. Our own Pacific trade, at ; least, ought to be carried by our own ships. Aa the Pacific States shall besome fully imbued and informed as to the magnitude of their maritime inter- i ests and opportunities they will cease to be the supporters of a national policy which tends to cripple and circumscribe commercial enterprise. — Philadelphia Record. Why McKinley Is Strong. The Chicago Tribune, which insists upon tariff reductions at odd times when it does not urge a prohibitive tariff. complains because McKinley has the suport of all Republicans “who be- j lieve it is impossible Jo get too mueh of . a good thing.” “These McKinley Republicans.” says the Tribune, “include all those members of the Republcan party who believe that a tariff which creates and fosters trusts is a good thing." If all these Republicans are concedeo to McKinley, the favorite sons vwuM as well withdraw. The radical protection- I ists who foster trusts under the name of ; infant industries comprise nine-tenths of the Republican politicians. They ’ may believe Reed or Allison is for trust-building protection, but they know beyond ail disputing bow McKinley stands. And this is not r. year to try expert meats.—St. Lows Republic. Do High Taxes Make Low Prices? “There is not an article that we make to-day. made possible by a protective tariff, that has not been cheapened by protection to the American consumer.”—Hon, Wm. McKinley. If this is true, why does Major McKinley and the high tariff press denounce the Wilson tariff because they say it has lowered prices? Protection ists claim that our wool growing industry was made possible by the tariff. Will the Ohio Major dare to tell the I farmers of his State that their wool has been cheapened by protection? Astronomers calculate that the surface of the earth contains 31.t525.G25 square miles, of which 23.814.121 are water and 7.811.504 are land, the water j thus covering about seven-teaths of , the earth's surface.

His horse became frightened at the barking of a dog and ran away, upsetting the buggy and throwing the aged gentleman violently to the ground. No bones were broken, but his age is against his recovery. The City Council of Anderson ha- made it an offence, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any one under 16 years old to smoke cigarettes in any public place. Police will arrest any one found breaking the law. The law is expected to cause much confusion among the ladies, who will be compelled to speak out their ages. E. B.

All, or at least most, of her taste* asu accomplishments are feminine. She is i pa»«lonately fond of music, embroiders beautifully and is an excellent nurse. During the season she goes constantly to the opera. She knows every one of Wagner's opera*, from beginning to end. and can tell the instant she hears a musical selection just what it is and w ho wrote it. Embroidery seems to rank next to music in her favor and many of her friends poo■esa elegant specimen* ot.her work. Mr*. Dimniick has not the smallest interest in athletic* of any kind. She wa* never on a bicycle, and does not approve of the machine, and she does not ride, drive or skate. Her time is pretty evenly divided between books and embroidery and the opera. She is a great reader, and keep* up with all the current literature, though she can-* little for anythiag classical. Sue has a fad for collecting aut.-graph*, and possesses the signatures of many wellknown people, among them being those of Jean de Reszke and Richard Mansfield. Mansfield is her personal friend, and she is his devoted admirer. He is her favorite actor, and she considers him one of the greatest lights of the modern stage. Allison, by the way, has the honor of being approved by her as a candidate for the presidency. In appeararice Mrs. Dimmit k is not exactly beautiful, but she i* so bright and vivacioua, and so aristocratic in her bearing, that she gives one the impression of being ao. As a young girl, she was noted for her personal charms, and in Princeton. the home of her childhood, they still talk of her beauty. The wedding is to take place at noon on April t*. in St. Thomas' Church, New Y'ork. and will be extremely quiet. It is understood that there will lie only twelve guests, relatives, and some intimate friends of the ex-President. and that there will be do wedding breakfast. Lieut. Parker will give the bride away. After the ceremony the newly wedded pair will go to the general's home in Iwlianapvlis, where a public reception will be gives in their honor. A boudoir for the bride ha* been planned by herself, and she has personally selected the hangings and other furnishings for it. In August they will go to the Adirondack*, where a simple tittle cottage is built for thqm.

Dr. Frederick Sanders. the venerable librarian of the Astor Library, justly calls this manuscript an “unrivalled lieauty.” This superb manuscript was secured some fifte«-n years ago by the late Mr. Astor from the famous Isuxion bibliophile, Bernard Quaritch, who catalogued it in isso at S.VMIO.

They are probably the only remaining homogenous people on the globe whose reading and whose intellectual aliment are purely Scriptural. People who have lived among them in South Africa all agree niton this characteristic feature of Boer life. They are essentially a Puritan nation, ami they maintain a strictly tbi-ocratic community. such as the good men who founded Plymouth and Boston fondly hoped to preserve on Massachusetts Bay.

Contagion m Money, A well known bank cashier was talking the other day about the |Mnwibiilties of contagion in soiled bank notes, and took oceasioa to remark that a tnucii cleaner lot of paper money was now in cfcnlatiow than formerly. says the Philadelphia Record. The banks, he said, now send their soiled notes to the I nited States Treasury to be destroyed as soon as a sufficient quantity accumulates to justify It. and new ••>tes are Issued in their place. This has lieen rendered not only possible, but advisable, owing to the Increased facilities for printing bank notes, tine never sees a soiled l-ank note in London. They are all crisp and white and new. simply because the Bank of England never lets a note go out a second time. Although the average life of a Bank of England note is said to be five days, the notes which find their way to the colonies are kept in circulation for years, and these are found to be in an even worse condition than our ora greenbacks
