MR TAFT AND MR BRIAN?DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM READY-FISH COMMISSIONER'S WORK. , < 1 Washington,D. C., June 15:? It is not often in the history of presidential nominations that the! | candidates of both the great parties ate known so long in advance. Four ' \tr<wj> iv dm, tuuioc, aiiunu ^ that Theodore Roosevelt would be nominated on the first ballot at the Republican national convention, but this year it is known beyond doubt that Taft will receive the Republican nomination at Chicago and Bryan the Democratic nomination at Denver. No one, of course, knows who will be elected. Democrats think they have a better chance to *k?ct their candidate than at any election in the last twelve years. Mr Taft will not create the enthusiasm among Republicans that Roosevelt would have created. He is a good man, but not popular, or, as the saying is,magnetic. He is a very poor jrator, prone to make mistakes and faux pas as he did in ihe matter of characterizing Grant as an e\ ine * ^ 1- ' ? ? i %* f/% ah I A/* _ uriare, wnen ne uucmpicu iu 1 ize him on Decoration day. It is !c quite probable that if he is allowed j' to talk (and who can prevent him?), is fee will cay many tilings that will * J J C , hurt and perhaps be fatal to his candidacy. Mr Bryan is also given to talking a good deal and not always with perfect prudence, but he is a much finer orator and on the whole 1 | has better command of his tongue Than his competitor for the presi- ( .aeocv. 1 The platform is practically ready ' for presentation at Denver, it is uu- ( 1 J - *1 <M..rro ( <aerstOOU, anu, auiuiig uiiict tut -6o will contaiu a clause denouncing the ' Crumpacker campaign publicity bill aui another denouncing the extravagance of the Republican administration, and will declare for tariff revision, and for Federal improvement of public highways. John Mitchell is considere<l out of the race for nomination for the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket. The claim is now made that he and his friends could do vastly .1 1 I..U? more ior me goon oi lauui ?uc nci governor of Illinois thau he could I <lo as vice president of the United States,and the expectation is that he will give consent to his name being put up for that office. That the reduction of postage from the United States to the United Kingdom of Great Britian is greeted with universal approval is shown by the number of letters and Telegrams of congratulation, with " " * i 1 which the postmaster general nas been deluged recently. "In Great Britain," Mr Meyer said, "there has < been a growing sentiuieut for reduction of pos'age to and from this eouutry for number of years to two -oer.ts an ounce and 1 am certain that in the course of time the postoffice department can arrange for the same rate with other countries.'' Only within the last few days Postmaster General Meyer issued an order increasing the weight limit on parcels for Great Britain and Ireland to eleven pounds, effective July 1, instead of four pounds, six ounces, which is the present limit at which packages can be sent in the mails to the United Kingdom. There is at least one man iu Wash-1 ington who is satisfied with the .treatment of his department by Con-1 i ... " * - .n* . TTO ! YOU lies We app be to please )f its . _. "" gress. The United States fisli commissioner was moderate in his demands, and as a consequence received I distinguished consideration at the! t hands of the appropriation commit- J tee, which bore in mind, no doubt, t that the commissioner had for the1 1 last four y^rs diminished the ex-| ( penses of the lisli commission, while Si he increased the output of the work 1 and the efficiency of his bureau, i The commission expects to plant | over three billion fish in the United States this vear, and the cost is cs- r i tiinated at $1C^ to hatch and dis t tribute a million. Several hundred j # millions of lobsters alone have been . planted on the New England co:ist, ? it the various statious, with the prospect of an unprecedented reduc-1 Jon iu prices of that luxury. Onej )f the most gratifying results of the ?vork of this bureau has been the * increasing co-operation accorded the * jommission by fishermen all over * :he country. 1 The old sandstone pillars that have ^ stood so many years on the east front ^ if the treasury building are being * emoved aud are to be replaced by j ^ granite monoliths. The work is well 11 ander way and is causing much con- ' fusion'in the offices of the building, * ;he noise being so loud as to make ? i jonversation almost impossible. One ' if the seers of the treasury facetious- 1 y remarked that the reason for j strengthening the east portico was j ^ o make a strong enough platform : * :or Taft to staud on. '' t !Vo Humbug ;1 No humbug claims have to be j1 made for Foley's Ilonev and Tar, a :he well known remedy for coughs, c jolds and lung troubles. The fact; :hat more bottles of Foley's Honey i ^ ind Tar are used thau of any other ] ^ sough remedy is the best testimonial jf i's great merit. Why then risk n taking some unknown preparation 1 when Foley's Honey and Tar costs 1 you no more and is safe and sure, j W L Wallace. I ] Cognomens. e Doubtless you have often been puz- , zled how to pronounce the names of Chinamen, for they appear so { queer and unpronouncable. It is the queerness of their syllabic devision that is responsible for your bewilder- c ment. Supposd we take a lot of good old American names and devide them up according to the Cbinease idea, and see how they look. Hug Hes. Dosen't that sound Chinesey? But after you look at it awhile and run the two together, dropping, the capital II aud substituting a small h, it 1 is very simple?Hughes. Here's another one: Dou Glas. ' If you saw that ou a laundry sign ' you'd be puzzled how to pronounce ( it, but when it appears as "Douglas" * it is very easy.

Bur Kett of Nebraska and ' Sto Ne of Missouri exchanged a few pleasantries, and the senate was in ! an uproar until Senator AI Lis On moved to adiouru.
