Asiikvii.i.k, N. September s.?
There is a feeling among the druggists
in attendance at tin' forty-second annual
eon veil tion of tin- American Pharmaceutical
Association that sonic steps
should be taken to regulate the colleges
of pharmacy in the country. It is
claimed that too tunny colleges turn
out ginduntes after ten months courses
ami the thinking druggists claim that
this short term of study is absurd and
that at least four years of study in
school ami drug stores is necessary to :>
thorough knowledge of pharmacy;
This 'idea was introduced by ('. S. >i.
Nollsberg, of Chicago. The matter is
still under discussion, hut a committee
will probably be appointed to try to
get the colleges to agree to make the
changes. The pharmacists were given
un excursion to Mot Spings 011 special

A close friend of Senator John P.
Jonos, of Nevada, authoritatively states
that Senator Jones is a backer of Mr.
Cameron's presidential boom. This
statement opens up a wide range of political
probabilities. It is said that
when Senator Jones takes his place at
the head of the silver party, which he
has recently joined, a position which, it
is claimed, he will occupy by virtue of
his prominence in national a (fairs, his
e(forts, after looking to his own senatorial
interests, will be devoted to an
attempt to swing the silver party into
line for Don Cameron.
Silver Tarty In tlic Senate.
Politicians arc agreed that the silver
party in the senate is soon to become a
strong factor. There are indications
that reinforcements are already at
hand, coming from the ranks of the republicans.
Ihibois, of Idaho, is hinting
about following Jones' lead. Teller
uud Woleott are hold to the republicans
by a hair, and are believed to be ready
for u movement in the direction of a
silver party. Then there are the coming
elections which will lill the vacancies
in the senate existing in the northwestern
states. Every one concedes
that the campaign in those states is to
be conducted upon a silver platform. If
all of these plans toward the creation of
a silver party are successful, it can

party which Senator Cameron is said tc

is alleged, he is laying his plans to capture.

longshoremen have any they will consider
it. There was no further trouble
yesterday between the union and nonunion
longshoremen and everything is
now quiet. No attempt was made to
load cotton yesterday as only a small
