It was ourrontly reported that John son desired tho nomination of Monett as attornoy gorral and that tho Mo Loan mon wat I Monott defeated, tho defeat of Monett was so dooisivo as to bo a featuro of tho oonvontion. Monott as attornoy gonoral had brought suits against tho Standard Oil oompany and other corporations to oanool their ohartors uudor tho anti trust lawa. Ho had sought a third term nomination from ino Ixopubli oan's on tho issue that ho should bo rotained in that o nico to e J? ti nun those prosooutions. Aftor his dofoat for tho third nomination in 1899 ho supportod Bryan in 1900 on thu anti ttuat iasuo and oanvaesod Ohio and othor Statos with Bryan rho most striking turn of tho oon vontion was on Bryan.

Tho aisles woro ordorcd eloarod but tho pioturo did not roach its des tination. It was trampled under foot and spoiled during tho wild domon btrationd whon Kilbourno was cscortod into tho hall, lt is generally bolievid, however, that tho maro'aing clubs did not know thoy woro walking over Bry an's pioturo.

As tho salary of those rural oarriors is only $500 por annum tho tax in a hardship, but when, as is tho onio in mo'ny instnuoes, tho proposed rb tito hangs firo in tho department and is in definitely sholvod, it is adding insult to injury.

WILLING TO BALANCE ACCOUNTS Russia Will-Vacate Rahed Tariff if U 8 Will Do the Same. ?uothor important ohango has oc cur., d hotwoon tho Russian govornmont and tho Unitod Statos rolativoto tho tariff. Tho Russian ministor of finan00 M. Do Wi ito, has proposed that Russia will vAoato all tho additional duties lcvidcd on Amorioan goods since tho im position of tho sugar differential if tho Unitod Statos will vaoato ita notion on tho sugar differential. To thin Booro tary Gage has ropliod that tho offor of thc Russian govornmont cannot bo ac coptod as tho question of tho sugar diffcTontial is now in tho hands of tho ocurt. thus prooluding aotiou by tho oxcoutivo branoh. Tho proposition of tho Russian min i pt cr of finanoo was tho result of Soorotary Hay's noto of about two wooka ago. In that nota Mr. Hay pointed out that tho aolion takon a) to petroleum was not now, nor wai it meant to have any oonnootion with tho previous aotion of tho govornmont on sugar. Thia appears to havo vooon oilod Rumian o fl? ?als in thoir view that tho pnotroloum ordor waa only an othor atop in tho pdioy previously takon rospooting sugar. M.

Tho ohiof attention is givou to sugar and tho spooifio order is mado to vaoato immediately tho inoroaBod du tics whioh Russia has loviod, if tho United Statos will vaoato its notion on sugar. This would amount to ro ostablishing tho status quo whioh ox isted boforo tho United Siatos took its initial aotion rolativo to Russia. Tho Russian proposition waa oom munioatod to Soorotary Gago, who ro spoodod promptly that as tho sugar question is now boforo tho oourls it is not possiblo for him to avail himself of tho Russian suggostions.
