HOBART, of New Jersey | counting on prosperity. while you can, the campaign is an clubs has become ng Republ the popular fad. 5 Any old stump will do as a summer re- sort for the spell-binders. If the Democrats are wise they will nominate Teller and drop their free-trade foolishness. We all know who is to become the next President of the United States and we are 1 satisfied. @Democracy can easily overthrow Cleve- land, but it will have a hard time freeing itself from his bonds. Patriotism, protection and prosperity is a tune which silver and gold Republicans can sing in harmony, Santa Cruz has added a new glory to the fame of Venetian festivals and has a right tobe proud of berself. Of the senior class of Yale this year 160 are Republicansand only tifty-three Demo- crats. So goes the count Have Tuz Cavy sent to you at your sum- mer home and you will know what is going on at all the summer resorts. If you wishall the newsof all parties | fairly and impartially reported during the | ke Tug CaLL. campaign, you must To Boies amd to Bland the silver voice of Teller in his grandstand play sounded strangely like the screech of a buzzsaw. Nobody wishes Chicago to hold a con- vention, but it seems there must always be something to run against the popular will. The ratification meetings were like the opening of champagne in the way they sparkled and overflowed in exuberant en- thusiasm. There will be an exultant outburst of patriotism on the Fourth of July. The hearts of the people are swelling with rap- turous Americanism this year. Between now and election day there will be plenty of time for the silver States to | get back into the Republican ranks and swell the strong chorus o protection and prosperity. From the appearance of the organized clubs at the ratification meeting, it is evi- dent the Republicans of this City are al- ready prepared for the campaign and eager for the fray. The Eastern.goldbug who said the Gov- ernment of this country will never be run ce that after this administration is over it will also never be run asa New York | bunko game. The thing which Boies has launched may not be exactly a boom, but it is so much like one that all other Democratic Presidential aspirants ars trying to punc- ture it with a crowbar. It is revorted that a group picture has just been taken of Cleveland and his Cabi- net, but how the artist ever succeeded in gotting anything more than a negative out | of the gang is not explained. The Republican party and its candidates | are pledged to promote international bi- metallism, and in that pledge the people will trust far more than in all the wid _ promises of Democrats and Populists. McKinley bas ever been an earnest champion of womanhood, and, as a conse- quence, his personal popularity is felt not in politics only, but in every American home where a true woman lives to honor true mannood. The great mistake committed by the people of this country was in not refer- ring the money question to the univers:- ties during the commencement season and getting it settled by the graduates before the campaign began. There has been discovered a colored poli- tician in the South who has figured out that the talk about 16 to 1 on the money question means $16 for the white man and $1 for the brother in black. He is against the proposition and wants the existing standard. In the West there are only four political parties in the country, but in the East in aadition to Republicans, Democrats, Pop- ulists and Prohibitionists thereis a Social- ist party, which is to hold a National Con- vention in New York on the Fourth of | July. 1t is but a small party, butina closely contested election it may count in s game, a Wild West show will please take mno- | OALIFORNIA ALL RIGHT. | The demonstration made at the ratitics | tion meeting in this City last night puts | an end to any doubt that may have been felt as to the feeling of Republicans toward | the £t. Louis ticket. From the assembly | within the hell and from the crowds with- out that cheered the parading clubs, there | came arx unbroken and spontaneous mani- | festation of enthusiasm. Veteran Repub- | licans and new converts vied with one an- | other in swelling the chorus for protection and prosperity and in attesting the eager- 5 | ness with which they await the coming | of election day, when, by their ballots, | they can overthrow all the factions of free | trade by an overwhelming vote ior Mc- Kinley and Hobart. Much of the enthusiasm of the large audience within the Pavilion was undoubt- edly due to the eloquence of the orators. Though none of them spoke at any length, each managed in a few well-chosen sen- | tences to express some great principle of | the party or to give utterance to some ‘ patriotic sentiment that now animates the ‘pupular mind. A marked characteristic | of all the speeches was the fervor thatin- | fused them with the spirit of genuine sin- cerity. It was no brilliant dispiay of sparkling rhetoric that roused the listeners te give their feelings voice in loud and | prolonged cheering. It wasthe power of !filh proclaimed to men who know the trith and who are resolved to support it. All the oratory of the evening rang with a vital Americanism and it was the mighty spirit of Americanism that echoed back in shouts of battle and victory. Potent, however, as was the oratory of the mass-meeting it was not wholly the | cause of the enthusiasm of the occasion. The crowds which cheered the parades along the street had no orators to excite | them, no eloguence to arouse them, and yet they manifested along the whole line of march an entkusiasm hardly less than that which swelled so tumultuously tarougn the Pavilion. Every banner which bore the names of McKinley and Hobart or some legend expressing the deathless principles of the party was | greeted with applause. Over and over again was it made clear that in this cam- paign the Republican party represents the great heart of the American people, and that there is now a mighty popular uprising | for the statesmen who stand for patriot- ism, protection and prosvperity. Reports that came to usfrom other lo- calities show that an equal enthusiasm was manifest at all the ratification meet- ings throughout the State. There will be no weakening in California Republicanism this year. Everywhere it was found that | old members of the party are as loyal as ever and the new converts are full of | ardor. There will be no lack anywhere of eloquent orators to proclaim the far-reach- ing principles of the party, nor any lack of supporters to pledge an unfaltering loyalty. It is as certain as any future event can be that California will take her stand this year among the strong Repub- lican States of the Union, and will give such proof of her devotion to that system of government for which the Republican party stands that her name will never be | written again among those whose votes are doubtful on any issue of patriotism or of true Americanism THE PHILOSOPHY OF Pi{bTECTION There is a scientific and economic value te the operation of the existing tariff act, but unless we profit by what it teaches we shall be not better circumstanced. “We learn geology the morning after the earth- quake,” says Emerson. What is true of geology is true of economics. Itisinthe wreck and ruin of overthrown commerce i and industry that we must look for the cause of disaster, but if we do not read the lesson aright—if we do not correctly follow the effect back to the cause and as- certain wnere we have acted without judg- ment and understanding—we still grope in political darkne: It was not intended by the authors of the present tariff law that it should injure the people. The | principles of ail political parties are right in the abstract, for they mean the better- ment of the people. It is the policy or way of giving them practical and active force in operation that works good or harm. The principles of the Wilson-Gorman act are in perfect accord with the objects | the founders of the Government had in view—that is, the aavancement of the peo-~ i ple in all ways that are calculated to further secure to them personal liberty | and the largest possible returns upon effort honorably expended. But the pol- icy which the Democratic party adopted to reach the desired end was faulty throughout, and hence in operation the principles of our Government failed to give the people the proper degree of pro- tection at some points and gave them too much at other points, and at both points and between them the commerce and the industries of the people were, consequently, | greatly weakened; and not only so, but at | best the act could not produce enough revenue to supply the needs of the Gov- | ernment’s expense account. Thus, while the principles of the Democratic party as to custom-house levies upon merchandise imports are correct, the party’s applica- tions of them are seriously harmful. Itis | only fair to assume that it was not mali- cious intent but inability to comprehend an economic problem so complex in its relation to the diversified interests of the country as is the tanff guestion that plunged the nation iuto such a whirlpool of commercial disaster. The policy of the Democratic party has created or caused an earthquake of great dimensions in the world of business, and we know the cause of it. If we shall profit by the lesson which the scattered | rocks teach, there will be no more up- heavals of that kind. The danger which free trade would subject the country to is | well known, and we know how to avoid it, but quite as much harm would confront the people were unjust and discriminating | tariff laws to prevail. It may sound para« doxical to say that for the most part the | nation must 1ook to taxes upon importa- tions to support the Government, and at | the same time prevent by high tariff laws mported merchandise coming in compe- | tition with our manufacturers, but it is | not paradoxical, for nothing of the kind is contemplated. A protective tariff has many duties to perform. In the first place, it must be so shaped that it will prevent the formation of trusts and monopolies. That could not be done under a tariff that was prohibitory. In the next place it must protect our in- dustries up to where our industrial wage- men are secure in constant employment at wages which enable them to have a rea- sonable balance, it they will, on every pay- day aiter liquidating their debts contracted meanwhile for a comfortable living. The industrial plant must be protected up to where it isamply compensated for the cap- ital -invested in it and for all expenditure, direct and indirect, incurred by its opera- tion. From that point on competition | should be invited from every quarter. That would prevent the formation of corners and the like to advance commod- ities to abnormaily high prices, for the out- side manufacturer would stand ready to supply the people at former prices. It a ust should atiempt to reduce.prices low what the foreign competitor could af- ford to sell for by cutting down the work- men’s pay so as to lessen the cost of pro- duction the tariff should be immediately adjusted to the basis of theyfuction in wages and thus completeiy/destroy the trust’s power to rob consumers. Protec- tion that protects workingmen up to where good wagesand steady employment is se- cured givesample protection to every busi- ness enterprise of whatever nature and kind. This is the philosophy of true pro- tection. 5 THE DEMOCRATIC TANGLE. in postponing his visit to Europe and becoming a delegate to the Chicago con- vention William C. Whitney adds interest and further complicates the situation in the Democratic fold. Mr. Whitney was reluctant to forego the pleasure ot a romp over the old country, but now that he has agreed to stay and participate in the row that is booked for the convention a very lively fight for the gold standard may be expected. Mr. Whitney would not have taken the course he has were it not in obedience to the wishes of the gold wing of the party. He will be the leader of his side in the convention, and it will be Mr. Whitney who will blow the retreat call if it shall be necessary for the goldites to abandon the field. But Mr. Whitney is not the kind of a man to run from shadows, nor will any half-way pounding make him quit fighting. He will be on the floor of the convention as the attorney-general and general-in-chief of the sound-money delegates, and if his side is defeuted it will be after his ammunition box is empty. And there 15 no doubt in the world that he will advise the party against support- ing the candidate if a free-silver man is nominated. The silver wing is in more trouble than ever. Many of the leaders of that side have been using Teller to reach the hearts of silver Republicans, even to the extent of suggesting that if the Colorado silver champion would bolt the St. Louis con- vention he should have the Chicago nom- ination. Teller has bolted his party, and his friends say he is now ready to accept the Democratic nomination on a free- silver platform, and therein he has played the mischief. The silver Democrats were never sincere, but simply playing Teller to disrupt the Republican party. The scheme has worked badly, for in playing Teller they have convinced him that he is really the first choice of the silver Demo- crats, which he is not. Boies is angry at Teller’s ambition to capture the conven- tion, and Bland is fairly frothing at the mouth because of Teller's intrigue. Trans- portation to Chicago has been secured for 1000 Colorado Republican and Democratic silverites to ‘“yell for Teller,” and other States are preparing to do the same thing. Boies, Bland and Teller each have an at- torney pleading with Altgeld for the Iili- nois delegation, and, in fact, that is being done all over the country. With Whitney getting ready to advise gold-standard Democrats to go over to McKinley if silver winsin the convention; with a prominent Republican pleading for the Democratic nomination; with an ex- Republican, Boies, protesting that his Democracy is silver-lined, and that by reason of carrying Iowa for Governor against the Prohibitionists his claims are good enough, and with Bland on his knees vegging the party of his youth and of his old age not to turn him down for the lowa mugwump or the Colorado Republi- can, a spectacle is presented the like of which was never before born of politi And what makes the comedy all the more | ridiculous 1s that there is not one chance in a million that the Chicago nominee will be elected, no matter who he may b Mr. McKinley should feel highly compl; mented when so many men are fighting to be kicked into outer darkness by his high-heel patriotism, protection and pros- perity boot. Mr. Whitney, however, is deservigg great credit for giving up his trip abroad to steer sensible Democrats | into the McKinley camp. He will have his reward in seeing a marvelously pros- perous country when he returns from | Europe next year. A MISTAKEN PHILOSOPHER. Charles Macklin thought he proclaimed a wonderful philosophy when he said, “Every tnb must stand upon its own bot- tom.” Here is the doctrine of greed and selfishness; besides, the proposition rests upon a false basis. A tub is of many parts, and each part is dependent upon every other part. Otherwise there would be no tub at all. Moreover the bottom must be beholden -to something foreign to itself to stand upon, but which is a part of a whole of which the tub is another part. ‘When a man likens himself to & tub in the sense that the tub stands upon its own bottom he writes himself down a ninny. The basis of individual existence is co- partnership and interdependence. tal or physical co-operating agencies. A tub may stand upon its own bottom. In fact it bas to, and to the extent that it can stand on its own bottom it is an in- dividual entity, but its own individuality is contingent upon other individualities, and were they to disappear the tub would go into nothingness, too. Standing upon its own bottom is the twin brother to “I shall paddle my own canoe,” and in the last analysis is found the personification of viciousness, greed, avarice and heartlessness in the man who secretly rejoices that his neighbor’s store is burning down and himself killed that he may secure his customers. Philosopher Macklin may have found humanity stand- ing *‘every tub upon its own bottom” in his day—250 years ago—but times, morals and methods have changed since then, thanks be to a better civilization than the mind of Macklin could conceive of. THE PERSONAL FACTOR. Among the potent causes of the personal vopularity of William McKinley is the in- fluence exerted by bis noble manhood— his pure and unblemished character, sus- tained by the record of an honorable life. He is esteemed by the people as the cham- pion of protection, honored as a brave sol- dier of the war for the Union, but his strongest hold upon the popular heart is that he personifies that sterling manhood which is the strength and the glory of the Republic. One of the marked features of McKin- ley’s career has been his devotion to bis aged mother, to his invalid wife and to the cause of womanhood everywhere. His tender care of mother and wife has par- taken too mueh of the sacred privacy of bome life to be noted to any great extent, and yet the mothers and wives of the land have not overlooked it nor failed to honor it. What he has done for the general cause of womanhood, however, is widely known. He has not sustained that cause in the abstract only. Many times he has appeared as the champion ot individual women, and bas succeeded in obtaining for them the rights and equities of which they were being unjustly deprived. The New York Mail and Express records of him that he was among the first states- men in Ohio to advocate a change in the old statutes which made a married woman ittle more than the slave of her husband One | can do nothing at ail independent of men- | ] aud made him the owner of her property, | even to the clothes on her back. In Ohio and the District of Columbia he success- fully maintained the principle that women employed in the public service should have equal pay with men for equal work. He repeatedly fought and defeated at- tempts to reduce the salaries of women in Government offices under the specious guise of economy; and, in short, as the Mail and Erpress says: ‘‘As Governor and Congressman, as writer and speaker, he has always identified himself cordially with the woman's cause, and not once, but hundreds of times, has shown himself to be a Chevalier Bayard in his attitude and conduct toward the other sex.” This chivalrous attitude toward woman is the outcome of a life wholly chivalrous in every respect. It is to the influence ex- erted by this purity of life and nobility of conduct that he owes a large measure of that honor which is given him in every American home. Many who disagree with him in politics are drawn to him by their esteem for his personal worth. This influence is sure to be felt auring the can- vass, and willadd many votes to the sum of those cast for the champion of protection. The people will see 1n him the type and living exemplar of the manhood America honors, and will be proud to raise him to the highest station in the land. TAKE A REST. These are not the melancholy days which the muse inspired Bryant to sing of. It does not always take ‘“‘naked woods and meadows brown and sear” to make one’s day melancholy. Every day is melancholy to him who needs rest and re- creation. Fierce and roaring winds, steep up-hill climbing and the darkness of the cavern are helpful giversions from the treadmill of everyday duties, and every one owes it to himself to recreate his physical and mental self occasionally that he may be the better able to hew out the way which destiny has marked out for him. Every business man especially should manage to keep a reserve force on hand. In this day and generation the tendency is to make exhaustive efforts in the activities of money-gathering, utterly disregarding the law of one’s being. It is often the case that a man will lay out work, which will lead him, as he well knows, to encroach upon his mental and physical force, even to the exclusion of an hour during the day for recreation. This is a great mistake. One should not keep himself so exhausted that if sickness comes or an accident befall bim he will find himself lacking in reserve strength to recover speedily, if at all. It is not good business sense to ‘‘push busi- | ness” to tbe uttermost limit of endurance. A man should not neglect his business, but he does not neglect it when he 1s re- | newing his strength. But God have pity on the family of the man who is always tired—who feels that he shounld “rest” all the time. The professional loafer is an abomination and should not cumber the community. Life is a race and every man who labors mentally or physically, or both, is engaged in 2 long race which is necessarily a test of endurance, and there are times when extraordinary strain is de- manded of him. If there be no reserve | force his ability to meet the requirements of the extra demand will be unequal to it. It is the reserve power that tells in pro- | longed business conflicts, and he who has | already exhausted himself when the | supreme struggle comes—when he must | watch and pray all night and all day, so | to speak—he fails and falls by the wayside. Such a man keeps his strength so ex- | pended that he cannot carry a single | added burden. Ie succumbs to things that he might have easily resisted if he | bad husbanded his resources. A man ‘shonlci never wind himself up as if he were a mere clock. It is highly advan- | tageous, of course, to spend a month once | a year in the mountains or on the ocean, | but in one month one cannot recreate his energies enough to last him eleven months in the restless, anxious and push- ing activities of commercial or profes- | sional life. He should take a ‘“‘day off’’ | very often. At least he should take a day | for recreation whenever he feels that he is | losing interest in his affairs, for his mel- | ancholy days have come, and they have Icome to stay unless he defies them by | taking a r SATISFACTION. | O, Smith he is & stlverite, | While Jones he is for gold. | The reasons why they're thus and so T begged them to unfold. | ¥or half a day both Smith and Jones They talked with all thelr might— Jones swore that Smith was off, and Smith That Jones was foolish quite.

The Democratic and Republican National conventions are participated in by substan- tially the same number of delegates, whose se- lection is based on the same method of repre- sentation—two delegates for each electoral vote to which each State is entitled. Tne eiec- toral vote of each State is fixed with equal simplicity—one elector for each member of Congress. There are forty-five States, and therefore ninety Senators, and this ninety multiplied by two gives a total of 180 dele- gates at large in each party convention. There are 357 Representatives in Congres equivalent to & total of 714 delegates in Na. tional conventions, to correspoud with the number of Representatives—a grand total of 894. To this total, the same in both Demo- cratic and Republican conventions, there are added by courtesy & number of delegates to represent the Territories, wnich have no elec- toral votes. The same complimentary repre- sentation extends even to the District of Columbia, the voters of which are not per- mitted by law to participate in Presidential elections. The basis of representation in Demacratic and RePubuclu conventions is, therefore, sub- stantially the same; but here the similarity between the two ends and the radical poinis of difference begin. The first of these points of difference is what is called the unit rule. Under Democratic theory the unit of repre- sentation in all American political affairs is the Stae, and a State convention meeting to elect delegates at large has the right to instruct all the delegates from that State to vote as a unit, subject to the will of the majority. For instance, the State of Ohio has in a Demo- cratic National Convention forty-six votes. Four of these are chosen in the State of Ohio at large (double the number of United States Senators) and forty-two are chosen in the several Congress districts, two in each, It might happon, perhaps, that twenty-five of the delegates from Ohio would favor the nom- ination of one candidate for the Presidency and twenty-one that of another. Under Dem- ocratic usage the party at its State convention in Ohio could instruct 1ts delegates to vote as & unit, and twenty-five would be able, there- fore, to cast the whole vote of the State—forty- 8ix votes—in favor of the candidate whom the twenty-five supported. The most flagrantand couspicuous illustration of the working of this rule occurrea in the Democratic National Con- vention in Chicago in 1884, when the seventy- two delegates of New York were polled solid for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, though the strongest opposition to his nomination came from New York City Democrats. Even those who denounced the nomination of Mr. Cleveland were recorded in his favor. This extract from the minutes of that couvention shows the exact state of the case: Daniel Manning of New York—New York VOtes seventy-two. Mr. Grady of New York—I hola in my hand the official lally of the vote of New York, 19 to 49, and 4 absent. The Chair—The chair is unable to recognize as valid the challenge from the gentleman from New York because New York votes under the instruction of her convention as a unit n all questions. he paradoxical result of the matter, in this case, was that the Democrats who o) Mr. Cleveland were recorded as voting in favor of him, and under the unit rule mfipm«edmll ‘was regular and parilamentary, The Republ cans, accepting the Congr district, and not the State, as the unit of representation, have never recognized the unit rule, and the effort made in the Chicago National Convention of 1880 to impose it upon the Kepublican party in the interest cf the nomination of General Grant was voted down and has not since been revived. In & Democratic National Convention the two-thirds rule still prevails, and no Democrat can be nominated who does not receive at least two-thirds of the votes of all the delegates par- ticipating. The origin of this rule dates back to the period of controversies between the Northern and Southern Democrats, the latter declaring that by the two-thirds rule they had atleasta veto power upon the nomination by the North, which was growing more rapidly in population and the electorate than the South, of any candidate decidly objectionable to the Southern minority. There is no present necessity for the maintenance of the two- thirds rule in Democralic conventions, but, though abrogated in State conventions, it still continues to be observed in National conven- tions, and though theoretically an incum- brance to the rapid choice of candidates it has not, in_practical operation, proved w be one, certainly not for a great many years. The rule of Republican National conventions is the rule of a simple majority. The Republican candidate for the Presidency who gets one vote more than half the total number of delegates gets the nominstion, even though he falls short of what the Democrats would consider a required two-thirds. LITTLE GIRL'S GUIMPE. The guimpe is an important feature of & little girl’s summer wardrobe. The one shown here is gathered to a waist, and drawn into the neckbsnd with gathers. The bishop sleeves may be very long or may be drawn up by means of a tape to form a shorter puff. For wearing with dresses of wool guimpes of batiste in the natural linen color are very stylish. Embroidered batiste is used for very dressy gowns. Guimpes of soft silk, such as China surah or foulard, are also used with wool dresses. Plain white lawn, batiste, dimity, cambrie, etc., are ail pretty with trimming of narrow Valenciennes lace or Hamburg embroidery. or wear with white pique dresses pale yel- low, blue or Elnk dimity over batiste are charming. Embroidered rufles of the same favric make a dainty neck and waist trimming. NEWSPAPER PLEASANTRY. “And you say the girl in the story changed color when she was accused? Idon’t find any- thing about that."” “‘Oh, the text says nothing of it, but you will see that in the last previous illustration she was heliotrope, and in the next following she is ecru.”” Thus were the pictorial and literary in art advancing hand in hand.—Detroit Tribune.
