Commercial,

speaking

of the resolution of the Indiana State convention, which says: "We declare that All laws on the sub ject of fee and salaries should be made so as to afford justice to the citizen and a fair compensation to the officer." oncludes: "^There could be no difSculty in getting such a resolution through the conventions of either party. It sounds well, but means nothing. What would be 'fair compensation to the officer':' That is open to a difference of opinion especially between the officer and the citizen The former would take all he can get, and the latter would insist upon the smallest possible amount. "It is not expected of course, that a resolution merely declarative of opinion should proceed to details, but it ought at lsast to set forth the opinion that the fees and salaries at present paid are too high or insufficient. The resolution merely leaves the contention where it is, and where it must remain until the legislature steps 'in and determines the matter by law.

Ratification Meeting.

The Republican ratification meeting, at the corner of Seventh and Main streets, was attended by about twenty-five 4iun dred citizens. J. M.

Pierce, who delivered an address, recapitulating the work of the party in the different conventions held during the year. He also stated that all members of members of the party should do their duty in the coming struggle.

This speach was followed by Judge Rhoads, who spoke about forty minutes, and made the decision of the Supreme Court on the constitutional amendments a drominent theme of discussion.

The Cadet band furnished some very pleasing music, and together with the general good feeling between those present, the meeting was a manifestation of the zeal with which the contest will be entered.

Three hearty cheers for the ticket closed the evening's programme, and the meeting adjourned.

Schoolroom Headaches.

Many people who have public school teachers among their acquaintance are nrnily of tiie opinion that the school room has a headache system all its own, and their impress!on would be strengthened if they were to interview boys and pirle. There is nothing strange about the complaint the only wonder is that it is not continuous, and that anybody escapes it. With systems of heating and ventilation that are almost uniformly defective, and. worse yet, under the control of janitors who have no knowledce whatever of these departments of their business, and who are as apt as any other men to neglect or despise whatever they do not understand, many of our school rooms are boxes almost hermetically sealed, into which hot air is being driven and compressed. The heat is frequently intolerable the expired breath and other physical emanations of the children pollute the air to a degree extremely dangerous tf health, so teachers and children, who, at nine o'clock enter the room in fair health and spirits, emerge at noon with listless step, aching head and deranged vital organs. Should a teacher's nature protest against

ity

are chilled and temporarily relieved fit***** one danger only to submit to another. The condition of the air of school rooms is no secret to Boards of Education it has been the subject of some statistics, by experts which forcibly suggest the Black Hole of Calcutta: bat what is or has been done to remedy it? How many teachers are competent to nse snch ventilating facilities as their rooms possess? Their own frequent headaches and those of the helpless children show that the number is very small, and the same effects indicate that but few janitors need fear to compare their records with that of the late king Herod. ..

YELLOW FEVER.

FIGHTING AT BUENOS AYRE8.

The Democratic convention was assembled yesterday soon after 10, and continued in session untill 6 p. m. A permanent organization was effected, with exGovernor Stevenson as chairman, the majority report of the committee on credentials accepted and candidates placed in nomination. One ballot was taken, but it was forced and not significant.

When the morning dawned, drv, lurid and considerably warm, if not more so, it found the great gathering of our Demo cratic guests slightly disfigured, but still in the ring. Some had not been in bed at all, and some-had slept with their boots on, and the great majority had partaken of but a small allowance of slumber, and had rested in the arms of Morpheus but a little while. There was a great ^morning call at the hotels for cocktails and soda, and much ioe-watering of hot heads and red eyes, and extensive swearing at the tangledness of hair and the smallness of hats that last night were large enough.

But the gathering at Music Hall began promptly, and by 9:80 the crowd about the building was a crush and jam, bounded only by the iron fence of the opposite park and the solid brick of the surrounding buildings. There the great compact mass stood in the glaring sun, staring at the great edifice and sweating and steaming aad begging for tickets, ana cursing the drivers of vehicle* who edged their way through. Finally the throne became so great that it fairly overflowed through the iron entrance to Washington Park, and that pretty retreat was soon crowded with the palpitating and perspiring patriots who despaired of gaining admittance to the Convention. So great had been the demand for tickets, so wild and agonizing had been-the call for them, that some enterprising persons had made very clever forgeries of them, and among the victims were Mr. Cappeller, who had procured two of them "at a little outlay, and was mad as a wet hen when he found at the door that he had been victimized* and that they were N. G.

Inside the building, the scenes of the previous day were repeated upon a greater scale, and the throng was immense, and shirt collars, under the influence of the atmosphere and the excitement, wilted ignominously, and little rivulets of perspiration trickled down broad backs that would fain bear the burden of the govern ment of this robust young nation for the next four years, and for an indefinite period thereafter. Everybody was crushed and hustled, and the doorkeepers fought a steady and never-ceasing battle with those who were endeavoring to gain admittance upon all sorts of pretexts. But a comparatively good feeling was mainteined, and little bad' blood shown, though perhaps one man, who was blackened as to liis left optic, and busted as to his snoot, professionally speaking, by an and loyal doorkeeper, would not, in all likelynood, agree .with., us in this statement.

The ladies were again out in force, and in fine wardrobes and striking Colors, and quickly working fans made as gay and animated an appearance of their part of the premises as possible. The great organ was silent, but Currier's band at the other end of the hall more than supplied its place with such airs as "Mulligan Guards," Babies on Our Block," "Little Sweetheart, Come and Kiss Me," etc., to the great delight of those members of the Society for the Suppression of Music who chanced to be present by crawling under the canvas.

The proceedings were opened, as usual, with prayer, the devout Democracy rising to their feet, and ail hands behaving themselves, except the|irreverential newspaper men, who always fail to have a due appreciation of the Throne of Grace when it Is addressed from a political convention. After the prayer was safely over the work began, ana for seven long hours the members toiled like beavers, never leaving, never pausing, disposing of matters promptly antl decisively, tackling new subjects as fast as old ones were disposed of, and in all respects acting like good little man who were intent upon business.

The Chair ordered the roll call of the States, A hoarse-voiced Secretary, with a vor-*} like a steam calliope, shrieked out, ''Alabama," but "Alabama" was not ready. Arkansas started the Field boom with twelve votes New York cast her seventy votes for Payne, and the announcement was received! with cheers and hissing in the gallery. The plan to make Payne Tilaen's legatee was not in favor with the true Tilden men, who think the old man ought to inherit his own estate. When Ohio's 44 votes were cast forThurman there was some demonstration. Massachusetts scattered like a shot-gun. I took Judge Abbott some time to get in the fractions and the single votes. Some one remarked that if the Democrats of Massachusetts would do as much voting in No vember as her deligates did in the convention, they might cany the old Bay State. The vote was so badly divided that Judgge Abbott found the fraction of one vote his vest pocket after all the other States had voted, and he cast it for Field. Colorado immortalized herself in voting, as her eloquent son Brown had done in nom inating, by handing dawn a man named Love!and, with a small array of initials, to posterity, with five of her votes, for President."

Pensvlvania gave the Hancock boom a lift with swenty eight votes, and Vermont and Maine swelled it with solid votes. It was evident to all that if the balloting continued any length of time, Hancock would receive the nomination.

Michigan distributed her votes as far as they would go, among the several candidates, and when the supply was exhausted the chair announced that seven Michiganders had gone out to see a man, or words to that effect

WAITING FOR THE RESULT.

There was too much talent at the secretary's desk, and it took up some time to foot up the result It was generally known that Hancock led and Bayard was not far off. While the convention was waiting the band broke forth with "Dixie," and the southern delegates went to their feet with a common impulse, and the "wild, sweet music of the rebel yell" shook the building. The cheering was lulling when the band turned "Yankee Doodle loose, and the scene that ensued was glorious. After much figuring and waiting, the result was announced amidst great applause and the convention immediately adjourned, after being in session nearly eight hours.

London.

LONDON, June 23.—Ntfw that Bradlaugh is safely deposited in the Clock Tower, the people are beginning to ask what Parliament will do with him, for it is evident that he can not be held a prisoner for the course of his natural life. The problem now before the majority of tho House indeed is how to set Mr. Bradlaugh at liber ty without compromising the dignity of Parliaiuent.( The Clock Tower can not be turned into a bastile, and any prolongation of imprisonment would make him a popular martyr, and render Parliament ridiculous ana odious. Some few san guine Conservatives hope that Mr. Bradlaugh will grow tired of his prison quarters, and will apply for the Chiltern Hundreds, thus allowing Parliament to escape from the consequences of its act. Mr. Gladstone may ask the House to declare the Northampton seat vacant and issue a new writ. This duty will fall on Sir Stafford1 Northcote, and should he carry it out, the Conservatives will risk defeat in the House, and also at the hustings. However, they are confident of success, and will probably pursue the course indicated, because it is the only logical one, in view of the ground they have taken during the discussion. Mr. Bradlaugh, also, is confktent that, should Parliament declare his seat vacant, Northampton _will again return him triumphhas occupied the day in communicating- with mends through the country, and in being thoroughly interviewed. A few members called on him In his prison chamber, which is rather gloomy, but commands a view of the palace yard,- so that he can see his brother members pass in and out of the House. His quarters in the Clock Tower consist of two large rooms, one above the other. He is closely guarded by two policemen watching the passage leading to his quarters.

LONDON,, June 28.—It is reported that a telegram has been received hero saying the Russians were defeated by the Turkomans, and- compelled to retreat. Both sides lost heavily.

LONDON, June 22.—A Buenos Ayres dispatch Monday, says a battle was tak ing place in the suburbs. A commercial fsis has occurred.

Later telegrams from Buenos Ayres say there has been fighting during three con secutive days, and that the National army, up to last night, had been unable to force its way into the city.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 23.—An Imperial ukase, published to-day, fixes the num ber of men to be enrolled in 1880, for the completion of the army, at 235,000.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 28.— Dr. Turner of the National of Health, thinks there is great danger of a recurrence of yellow lever in the Mississippi Valley this year. Indeep, he says that in all

Sfew

robability there will be yellow fever in Orleans, virulent in energy and epidemic in character, within a month. Memphis is in a much better condition than ever before, owing to the sewerage system which lias been introduced under the direction of the National Board. The Doctor says that this year is the cycle in which yellow fever may be expected on the Atlantic coast, between Charleston and New York, and fears that Washing ton may invite the epidemic by its dirty condition.

I would keep "better hours," wys J. T. Fieios, if I were a boy again that is I would go to bed earlier than mom boys do. Notning gives more mental and bodily vigor than sound rest when properly applied. Sleep is our great replenish eT, and if we neglect to take it regularly in childhood all the worse for us when we grow up. If we sit up late we decay and sooner or later we contract a disease called insomnia, allowing it to be permanently fixed upon us, ana then we begin to decay, even in youth. Late hours are shadows from the grave.

The meeting of the joint board of trustees and visitors, yesterday, is said to have been a stormy one. though the trustees are mute as to the proceedings.

The alumni this morning elected the Hon. A G. Porter as their orator for the next commencement, and Miss Minnette Taylor, of this city, poet. Captain Eli rf Ritter was elected president for the ensuing year, and T. SL Boss#m, vicc-pres^ dent.
