It is noted as significant that among strongest advocates in that State is Judge Bulger, a mber of the Democratic State Commit- tee and a close personal and political friend of David Bennett In a recent interview he is quoted as saying is g fying to see the interest that is being taken by Democrats in selecting a candidate It is nonsense to cling to ideas and at the voters have declined to accept. i, I have mno hesitancy in saying, would be the strongest possible candidate and would Grover Clev receive the cordial support of Mr. Hill. The Demo- cratic leaders in this State, I believe, will urge the renomination of Mr. Cleveland.” | In the West leading Democrats are discussing the contrast between Cleveland and Bryan with relatior to party harmony, and their expressions are over- whelmingly on the side of Cleveland. One of them is quoted as saying: “Democrats may not yet have re-established their love for Mr. Cleveland, but the attitude of the two men is so different as to cause re. gard for Mr. Cleveland and loss of esteem for the Nebraska leader. Mr. Cleveland ig hca'm!y advocat- ing harmony in the Democratic ranks and is saying no word of critigism or reproach to those who held - views contrary to his own in the‘last seven years; Mr. Bryan is doing nothing tb hold the party together, but, on the contrary, is every day saying something uncomplimentary to this man or that.” The main battlefield is the South. In that sec- tion the leaders are opposed to Cleveland, but their opposition has not gone so far as to declare a down- nght antagonism to him should he enter the race. he Brooklyn Eagle is endeavoring to bring the South over to Cleveland by warning the Southerners that another Republican victory may precipitate race and a sectional issue in politics. Thus it stated secently that a Republican President with a rabid Re- publican Congress bekind him would unquestionably | try either to annul the laws by which so many South- ern States have eliminated the negro vote, or else would insist upon reducing the Southern representa- tion in Congress. It argues that the only man who can be elected by the Democrats and prevent the re- vival of sectionalism is Cleveland, and therefore warns “the South that her interests are .bound up in his candidacy = The argument is unfair, but it may have aveight. It is therefore by no means impossible that Cleveland vention that if he be not a candidate he can name the nominee. e i e - An ex-Mayor of Minneapolis has been convicted on a charge of bribes This probably will not be inciuded by our publicists as one of the amenities of American official station for which so many are greedily striving. ..Herald Square | nue Hotel and Hoffman House.

W made somewhat reckless use of the Presi- dent’s strength and time by providing so many occasions for trying the one and using up the other, the President has been good-naturedly equal to the extraordinary demands upon him and has re- sponded cheerfully to every exaction. | His speeches have been great in their variety and | forcible and direct in their statement. Not many | men have known as well the history of every locality and of every people as he. He has inculcated per- sonal honesty, honor, character and thrift, patriotism, §good manners and kindliness of spirit. His utterances | go to the administration of every home as well as to the right administration of government. He has been entirely non-partisan. He is not talking for a | party, but for the people, for the country, for the up- );hui]ding and betterment of every private and public interest. After these times are passed, and he becomes a| | memory, and his words are read and his acts are | seen in long perspective, it will be seen that he ap-| peared at a time when wealth and prosperity threat- ened to soften the foundations of character and men- aced the institutions of the country. Then his | voice and example joined in teaching Americans | that they can save themselves and assure the futurci | of their country only by laying their personal lives on | the old and homely lines of good work, humanity, ‘lcnnragc and character. | Kipling wrote the “Recessional.” President Roose- | | velt practices it. He points to the “ancient sacrifice” | ' and teaches that neither wealth nor poverty absolves | la man from being a man. He is indeed a great’ preacher, as much so as if he were robed in canoni- cals and tcok a Scripture text. In his Pavilion speech here he said: “I do not | preach to this couhtry the life of ease any more than | T should preach it to any man worth his salt living in | | this country. The citizen that counts, the'man that | | counts in our life, is the man who endeavors not to | shirk difficulties, but to meet and overcome them; he is the man who endeavors not to lead his life in the | world's soft places, not to walk easily and take his comfort, but the man who goes out and threads the : rugged ways thatlead to honor and success, the ways | the treading of which means good work worthily done. What father or mother here, if capable of | taking the right view, does not wish to see the chil- | dren grow up trained not to flinch, but to overcome; [ not to avoid what is hard and rough and difficult, but to go down into the hurly-burly of actual life and win glory in the arena, heedless of the dust and sweat | and blood of contest? I ask that this and future gen- erations strive in the spirit of those who strove to found the republic, of those who strove to save and perpetuate it; I ask that this nation shape its policy in a spirit of justice toward all, and in a spirit of reso- lute endeavor to accept each duty as it comes and to rest ill-content until that duty is done, in the spirit, which, while refusing to wrong the weak, is incapable i of flinching from any fear of the strong.” | In the dim past Alired the Great said: ““It is not | well for man to seek too soft a life.” And farther away it was said, “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might”" Tt is all old and it is all new, | and it is well that our first citizen preaches it to his country. | This is no war lord, preaching strife, but a man preaching manhood, and putting it foremost, before | maney, mansions and ease. ‘ | His countrymen comprehend him. They stir under the impulse his presence and counsel. His vast power with them originates in his utterance of every man’s inner consciousness. He teaches like Plato and ! the philosophers by knowing human nature in its duality, aware of its tendency to fall and its need of example and precept that it may rise. Thoroughly | original in his way and manner, he salutes the wis- dom of the past and faces the work of the future. His visit here has given pleasure to all the people, and he leaves them stronger and better than he found them. He has borne fatigue, inconvenience and breach of all regularity in hours that he may meet them and bring his message. He will be remembered as the model American, and his countrymen all fcel that he shows forth to ail the world the best that is | in them and the best they hope to be. | The rapidity and sureness with which confusion fol- lows fusion in politics is shown in New York, where, despite the fact that Seth Low, the representative olI the fusionists, has made an excellent record in office, the leaders of the various fused factions are now de- claring unanimously that he should not be renomi- nated. | GAY DAYS IN VERMONT. FTER a prolonged trial of total prohibition Vermont recently voted to abandon the pol- icy and try local option. Saloons were li- censed, and a few days ago the new experiment be- New England papers are full of accounts of | what happened, and we learn from them that rarely | has there been any sort of a holiday in Vermont equal | to that which marked the opening of the bars. | For fifty years Vermont has been a dry State so Lfar as the surface is concerned. Deep down in the | underdepths of- society a stream of liquor seems to have been flowing continuously, but it took an ex- pert to tap it. Hence the Vermonter of this genera- [tion has never known what it is to step up to a bar | Tike a free man and order what he wished. Thus when | the new dispensation came the day was something like Fourth of July, Thanksgiving and Old Home | day rolled into one. As soon as it was announced | that a bar was open the people rose like minutemen, left their work and started for the scene. A cor- i respondent of the Boston Herald in describing the | opening of a bar at Rutland says: “It had not been ‘c\perlrd that the Bardwell bar would open until Thursday morning, but the news spread like wildfire, and in less than an hour five bartenders were unable | to supply the liquor fast enough. The barroom was completely filled *h customers in less than an hour and a half, and there were between two and three hundred who could not get in at all.” The law under which the saloons are opened for- bids treating, and the bartenders tried to live up to it, but they found it impossible. In cases where gan. | | come so well recognized as to open a large field for | | one in ten to the demand. | undertaking any kind of new enterprise. | mented by the use of it in industries where it was| | vance in the price of wood of all kinds, and far- | most expedient everywhere else in the Union, and will doubtless be found to work equally well there. The mad desire of every citizen to treat every other citi- zen will not last long, and before-the year is over it will doubtless be found that well regulated freedom is a better security for temperance than the most stringent total prohibition law that could possibly| be enacted. Washington City is to have a depot with a frontage { of 766 feet, room for twenty-four trains and ample ac commodations of all kinds for passengers. When completed it will furnish a very good model for a similar structure in San Francisco, and perhaps that is what the Southern Pacific Company is waiting for before undertaking to improve our depot. SCIENTIFIC LUMBERING. O recently come from the Department of Ag- riculture is the announcement that the value | of scientific forestry and Jumbering has now be- NE of the most gratifying reports that has the employment of specially educated young men. The officials of the department are quoted as say-| ing recently that the demand for skilled men to take‘! charge of large lumber tracts is beyond the supply. In fact, it is said the scarcity of competent men in that field of work is so great that there is now not That statement is an evidence of the manner in which individual initiative outruns government in The gov- DEATH CALLS A LAWYER ON RAILWAY TRAIN o f ernmental forests are of vast extent. The nation and the States are alike-interested in them. The damage | done every year by fire is known to be great, and yet | while efforts have been made here and there by the | Federal Government and by the governments of sev- eral States, nothing in the way of an adequate for- est conservation policy has been put into operation. ?+ Meantime the private owners of forests have set about | the task of preserving their property and so adminis- tering it that each forest will improve rather than diminish in value with the years. The policy of the great owners of lumber forests is unquestionably a wise one. For many a year we have been wasting our forests at an enormous rate. Lumbermen have carried on their operations with such recklessness that they have destroyed timber than they have carried to market. It is evi- | dent they have now seen the folly of their course and | have decided to manage their forests hereafter in such a way as to render them permanently valuable in- | stead of destroying them. The demand for wood is increasing all the time. So far from being diminished by the augmented use | of metal for many purposes where wood was formerly used, the consumption of wood has been itself aug-| more | never used before. The result has been a steady ad- | sighted men have begun to invest in forests as one of | the surest means of increasing their wealth. The interests of all classes of men are of course | closely related to the supply of wood for one purpose or another, and it is therefore gratifying to note that the large forest owners are seeking for men capable of properly managing their business. The field of employment thus opened to young men is attractive | in many ways. It offers a healthful life in the man-g agement of an industry of high value and affords scope for the most scientific intellect. It is to be hoped the demand will promptly stimulate a study of forestry as a profession, and that ere long we will | not have to go to foreign lands to get men to shnw; us how to conserve our forests while using them. | e Evidence has been given that in an insane asylum | in Kansas the attendants resort to the water cure to ! subdue refractory patients. This insidious influencc. of Philippine institutions will flourish, we hope, in no State except Kansas. It can stand anything. A FORLORN HOPE. F late we have heard very little of that move- ment for federation between Britain and her colonies of which so much was written and said during the Boer war. With the passing of the military excitement the colonies appear to have taken a sober second thought and to have resolved to letF the British pay for empire if they wish it. Neither{ from Canada nor from Australia does there come anyl promise of help toward the grand scheme. In fact, | even in the full fervor of imperialism during the war, the colonial statesmen were not inclined to enter into any kind of closer union with Great Britain other than a customs union, which would give to colonial | products preferential privileges in British markets. So lukewarm have the colonies become since it has been made clear that the British workingmen | would not surrender free trade for imperial federation | the most earnest advocates of the plan have seem- ingly abandoned it as a forlorn hope. Thus in a re- cent speech in Parliament Sir William Harcourt | taunted the imperialists with their failure by saying: “You perorate about the empire, but ‘Little England’ pays the cost. The Colonial Secretary has made the | most pathetic appeal to the colonies to help. His | sermons have been excellent, eloquent and pathclic.‘ Lut contributions to the plate have been small. The| contributigns of the colonies which have passed into the wallet have disappointed his hopes. Imperial de- fense has cost £64,000,000, and of this the colonies have paid half a million.” To that taunt no imperialist was able to make ef- fective reply. There appears, indeed, to be a desire | on the part of the British people to bring the colo- nies into such close relations with the mother coun- try that they will bear their share of the burdens of imperial defense. Popular sentiment on the subject is veny ljke that which prevailed in the time of George 111, when efforts were made to obtain revenues for | the imperial treasury from the American colonies. It is not at all likely, however, that any statesman of our time will venture to repeat the experiments of Lord North in the way of raising colonial revenues. Should such an attempt be made it would be certainly followed by like results. Australia and Canada are not going to pay taxes to support an empire in whose councils they have no voice. The scheme is thus blocked for the present, and it they insisted that each man should pay for his drink the one who was standing treat wonld hand over to the others the price of the drinks, so that feature of the law was found to be farcical in the face of the exuberant joy over the restored freedom of drinks and had to be ignored in the rush, Acting upon the advice of calm and sagacious men the saloons on the opening day restricted their sales to beer and wine. Stronger liquors were not sold, lest hilarity might become vociferous and the jubi- lee turn into an orgy. As it was everything seems to have gone well. With the first rush for drinks the worst is over. Vermont is now fairly launched on a i oolicy with respect to temperance that has been found may be for all time. Great Britain will not grant what the colonies ask, nor will the colonies grant| what Britain wishes. “Greater Britain” remains a po- litical dream, and, as Harcourt %aid, the big, wide- spread colonies may share in the glory of the empire, but it is “Little England” that pays the cost. United States authorities are possessing themselves in the small peace and a lingering hope that some day the Colombian Government may n}ify the Panama canal treaty. Perhaps an American gunboat or two might suggest to our South American friends that | win hn‘-:':m Sunday and many what ought to be done to-day must not be postponed until to-morrow. { both social and business circles in this | | Aftair s Held WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY OF THIS CITY WHO DIED SUD- ' DENLY ON A TRAIN. ! 5 E. L. Campbell Is Found Dead at Piqua, Ohio. | ; | | { | e L. CAMPBELL, the well-known attorney of this city, was- found dead in a sleeping-car of the Panhandle line at; Piqua, Ohio, yesterday. From the first report received here it appeared that the matter was viewed with sus-| picion by the authorities there, as the| body was quite cold and rigor mortls had already set in when the report was made | by the porter on the train, and the valu-! ables of the deceased appeared to be miss- | ing. Later on his watch was discovered in his berth, with only a very small sum of money, although he was supposed to have a considerable amount on his per-| son. Late last night Coroner Peck of Piqua wired to the deceased's partner here, J. | S. Spilman, that death was due to heart disease. A will was found upon the body devising his property to be equally di- vided between his wife and daughters. Mrs. Campbell, accompanied by Mrs. Walter Church, will leave for the East to-day to attend the funeral, which wiil tuke place in Lexington, Ky., where the | dead lawyer was born. In the latter part of April the deceased departed for Minneapolis, whither he went in company with Senator Heyburn of Idaho to take testimony in the Chittyna Exploration Company vs. McClellan and others, involving valuable copper mines in Alaska, and from there proceeded to ! ‘Washington, D. C., from which point he | wired his family last Monday announcing that he was returning to Minneapolis to resume taking further depositions in that city. This was the only information they | had until the wire came yesterday morn. ing announcing his sudden and unexpect- ed death. f The deceased was born in Lexington, Ky., in 1847, and was graduated from the University of Virginia in 1867. In 1868 he | went to Europe and in the universities of Heidelburg and Vienna he studied medi- | cine for four years, but the law being | more to his liking he decided to take up | that work for his profession, and com- menced practicing in Denver in 1§73, go- ing into partnership with C. T. Thomas, recently Governor of Colorado, nnd’ Thomas L. Patterson, now United States ! Senator from that State. In 1882 he ran: on the Republican ticket for Governor of | Colorado, but was defeated by J. B.| Grant, the Democratic nominee. | The following year he decided to try his fortunes in California and since that time has resided here, where he has car- | ried on a large office practice, being re-| tained by several large corporations and | many private individuals. In 1590 he was appointed attorney and guardian of Or- | ville C. Pratt and Annie Pratt, grand-, children of Judge O. C. Pratt and his di vorced wife, Annie Pratt, and successful- | Iy contested the will of the latter after a | hot legal struggle, which occupied the at- tention of the courts during a long period and attracted a great deal of public in- terest on account of the prominence of the positions that all the parties held in community. He was also one of the associate attor- neys in the Piper partition suit of the| property left by Congressman W. A. Piper, which was before the courts for a | o long time and was only settled last year. He was a man well versed in his profes- sion and commanded a splendid intel- lectual equipment, speaking German, French and Spanish fluently. He was also a student of arts, physiology and | science. He was considered a high au- | thority on mining law, of which he made a special study. He was a man of Integ- rity and sterling worth, highly esteemed and respected by all his professional as- sociates and those with whom he came | in contact in the business world. In private life he was surrounded by a large circle of friends, who admired him for his many manly characteristies, his! high literary attainmefits, his courtesy and his kindly consideration of all thos who had the privilege of enjoying his ac quaintance. In February, 1872, he married Mary Grafton, who survives him, and he also | leaves two adopted daughters and a sis- | ter, Mrs. Walter Church, all of whom re- | side in this eity. —— e SONS OF VETERANS GIVE SEVENTH ANNUAL DINNER at New Russ House and Proves a Great Success. i The seventh annual banquet of the California Alvision of the Sons of Veterans was held last casion and the table was a mass of cholce hot- house flowers.

Lord & Thomas fi;;:hhrgvd Space | in Office Building. What is said to be the largest advertising house In the world has just been installed in | new quarters on the two upper floors of the | enlarged Trude building, Wabash avegue and Randolph street. It is the newspaper and | magazine advertising firm of Lord & Thomas, a firm that has been built up in Chicago within the last ‘thirty-four years to proportions that now warrant the management to make the claim that no business house in all the world, with the exception probably of a few insurance concerns, executes yvearly as large a number of individual contracts. Over 75,000 such con- tracts were made and carried out last year by their firm, the volume of business transacted amounting to several miilions of dollars. In this spacious new business home 130 peo- ple are employed in the work of planning, per- fecting and carrying out all the complicated details of “‘judicious advertising.” i Just 12,680 square feet of floor space is ocen- | pied by the firm in its new quarters, a floor | area which is about twice as large as the con- | cera’'s old quarters in the same building. There | are shipping and ordering department. pro- moting and estimating departments. a literary and art department, otherwise known as a “'de. | signing department,” printing and electro- typing department, and In_addition the firm | finds space to classify and flle away from day | to day copies of the 16,000 publications receiv. ing its advertising service in all parts of the world. Not less than fourteen solicitors of al- vertising are employed by the firm. FEach these has an office all to himself, fitted up wit] rich orleatal rugs and hand-carved desks. One of the business features recently evolv: and in which the firm takes special pride is is almost perfect method of estimating the adver. tising rates and space for the different publ tions in the vast and ever-increasing circle its service. To this one branch of the business the members of the firm attribute much of the pre-eminence and supremacy they have attained in their special line of industry and endeavor. Another advantage is that both members of the firm give personal attention and the benefit of experienced generalship to the work of carrying out the details of their advertisers’ publicity. s - JUDGE DE HA' RENDERS JUDGMENT AGAINST ROYER Clerk at Branch Postoffice Must Pay a Fine and Go to 1 Quentin. | Judge de Haven, in the United States Dis- | trict Court, rendered judgment yesterday in | the case of Charles H.

RING WORM AND DANDRUEF. They Are Each Caused by a Pestit- erous Germ. Ringworm and dandruff are somewhat similar in their origin; each Is caused Ly a parasite. The germ that causes dan- druff digs to the root of the hair and saps its vitality, causing falling hair and, fin- ally., dness. Without dandruff there would never be baldness, and to cure dan- druff it is necessary to kill the germ.
