™~ OMAHA DAII X BEE: FRIDAY, NOV TOO RICH FOR TREIF, BLOOD. Balk at the Cost of the Re. publican Vational Convention Minneapolis Times Minneapolis went after the national con- VYenton once and got it. The gathering wis well handled, making allowance for the fact that the city was not quite large enough to be an ideal place for such & meeting, but two national convention yeArs have since then passed ang this ety has not been a suppilant before the national committee of either party for the honor of entertaining its delegates, machinists and shouters. The advertising was not a bad thing In its way, but It came high. Kansas City captured the democratic con- vention of 1900, but seems to be laying no plans for a conquest of that sort in 19M. St. Louts will have the World's fair on fts hands and the prospects of good accommo- dations for convention visitors are so un- promising that there s not much talk In either party of selecting that city, Mil- waukee s a candidate, but the impression weems to be general in political circles that one of the great cities will be chosen by both parties, the preference being Chi- cago, Those who have the destinies of the re- pubiican party in their hands recognize the advantages Chicago offers, but give notice that the price will be $100,000. Against this levy Chicago doth protest. Papes that have pald any attention at sll to the de- mand have asked what Chicago is to get for the money. If the interests that will be directly benefited—the railroads, hotels, ves- taurants and places of alcoholic refresh- ment—feel that it will be worth $100,000 to them to have the convention, there fs no objection to thelr taking up a subscription and getting it, but nobody elre seems anxious to “‘walk up to the captain's office” and subscribe to the republican campalgn fund. Chicago s in a position to be independ- ent. Barring a possible political advantage in holding & nationsl convention in New York, Chicago is the ideal place for one. It is big enough and has the fmmense ad- vantage of central location. It can afford 1o ignore the §100,000 proposition. Town, LINES TO A LAUGH. Boarder (sipping disapprovingly). singular soup.

It fs well known that while some women are muccessful agitators others are usually fhe successful educators and the women who are strongest in the club extension or philanthropy rarely are the leaders of the more esthetic side of club work and there was naturally a desire to know the per- sonnel of the sifting committee.

He then warned the congregation that wealth and station wopld not save a nation ultimately and pointed to the fate of Greece and Rome. as Americans Especially Exalted. “In the selfisn enjoyment of our opulent civilization,” he sald, “we forget our mis- sion, the object for which God has raised us up in the world. I cannot see how any- one realizing our advancement can fail to realize that it Is God's hand which is lead- ing us in development. Our Increased pos- sibilities bring increased responsibilities. Why is pur action the most weighty in the councils of Eu- rope? Why do we control the commerce of the worid? Why do these thousands of strange people come to us? and why do we enjoy this great internal prosperity? God has put us to be a light to the nations; to gulde the nations, We are to exalt his name and to show the nations what God can do. Let us take these blessings voutly from the hand of God and live to thelr ennoblement, enrichment and- their propagation, and make all the world around us more blessed through What we have re- ceived.’ In Trinity al the people of the parish assembled to go through the regular service of morning pray in which Father John Willlams of St. Barnabas lead. Rev. Pratt read the lesson.and the sermon was preached by Rt. Rev. Bishop Williams. The bishop said that the day was a proper occasion to consider the difficulties which modern civilization had placed In the way of our daily lives. He pointed to the hard- writing on the wall and spoke strongly against the modern extravagance of nll classes, which could lead, because the old simplicity has been abandoned, to no good end. He iald principally to this cause the troubles of capital and labor and other difficulties of this'day. ‘But %ie held that while these things made the way difficult, there was nothing to prevent true thanks- giVing on the part of ail Down by the Park.

He, spoke from the text: Colossians §ii15, “And let the peace of Ged Tule in your hearts, to the wnich also are ye called in one body, and ye be thankful." He #aid in part: “A Thanksgiving is ilke unto an ergan and it is the keys of special blessings that keep our Learts attuned to the appreclation of God's goodness.
