, Tribute to a Mother.
Bv way of introducing his
'MoSern Bible1 .Story'' in the
Vuty numboRof the JHarpoon, K
Lamity Bonner speaks ''pf tho
death of his.aronta. in the fol-
lowing pathetic language:
"Over a year and a half ago,
my father died. Ho had passed
four score years, and wo laid him
to rest near his old home in Boll
county, Texas. On Tnursday
May 10, 1904, my mother, who
was only a few mpnths his junior,
fell asleep, never to awaken in
this life, and she now rests quiet-
ly by my father's side in tho littlb
graveyard on tho hill near Hol-
land, Bell county, Texas.
I sat by her bedside, and hold
her hand as her spirit, loft her
aged body, and saw her life go
out like a candle that burned
brightly to the end. She know
tho time had come her life had
beenliyed to the ond and the
calm, peaceful, restful face told
mo that all was well. It was
hard to giya her up. She liad
been with me from the begin-
ning. I sat as one stupefied
gazing upon the pale," sweet face
and tho snow white hair, and-
could not realize that mother was
dead, That silent bosom had
been my first pillow, those pulse
less arm3 and slender fingers my
first defense. Those pale lips
had kissed mo more times than I
had hairs on my head, and those
closed and sightless eyes had
gazed upon me with pride and
joy. I know I loyed my mother
when she was alive, but I hung
over her lifeless body with a
spirit of adoratiom I knew I had
lost a friend on earth whose
place could never be filled, and
I finally realized the sadness and
sorrow of being an orphan.
A boy may be as ugly as an
oyster, yet his mother concien-
tiously believes he is as hand-
some as an Apollo. He may be
as mentally luaterless as a toad
frog, yet she believes him as
brilliant as a Kohinoor. He may
be as unscrupulous as a politic-
ian, yet his mother looks upon
him as excelling the lily of the
valley in purity. God bless the
mothers and wives. They stay
with you when every one deserts
you except the sheriff, and if it
were not for them, every man
would some time or other lose
faith in human loyalty and
friendship."
As illustrating how the alleged
"printers' trust" is bleeding the
counties for election supplies,
Judge Felts relates that several
months ago he placed an order
with 'a Dallas firm for ballot
boxes of a style cheaper than the
box recommended by that firm.
Recently he was informed that
the cheaper boxes could not b
supplied. The judge would no
stand for the extortion demanded
for the 'other boxes, whioh were
priced to him at about $4 each,
so he gave an order 4n Belton
for boxes that fill all the require-
ments, ac a cost of 85 cents each.
Had tho Dallas boxes been pur-
chased they would have cost the
county over S000. Bell county
has busted the trust in the elect-
ion supply line and the money
expended is kept at. home, the
home people doing the work at
about 25 per cent of trust prices
and making good profit at that.

The total appropriation for tho
purpose of gathering and install-
ing the Philippine Exposition at
World's Fair reaches the sum of
31,000,000 of which all but $200,-
000 comes frtfm the Philippine
insular goverment. This sum
does not include the value of the
postal, telegraphio and transpor-
tation facilities placed at the dis-

Chicago, JilNk 23, 904.'
Editor Tribune1 Some read-
ers of the Tribune may be inter
ested in a democrat's View of the
National Republican Convention,
that today nominated their candi-
dates for president and vice-presi
dent of the United States. The
people of Chicago take very little
interest in political matters; and
but for the notice in the daily pa-
pers that the Republican delegates
frcm every state in the, union, in-
cluding Porto Rico, the Phillipincs
and Hawai. were in Chicago and
in convention assembled," I think
the whole afiair might have come
and gone, without even raising a
suspicion in the minds ot at least
1,250,000 of Chicago people, that
anything of political 'importance
was being transacted. My curi-
osity to sec how a National -Re
publican convention conducted its
business, and to hear its most clo
quent speakers induced Me to lay
aside my dental instruments. and
hire me avay tp the convention
hall. When 1' arrived I found the
price of admittance ranged from
$50 to a political pull. Since I
felt no disposition to ask favor of
thiit dusky delegation from Texas,
I therefore dug un a dollar andi
gave it to an official who wh6 pi-
loted me through the guards to a
chance to stand and see what I
could see. After much passing
to and fro, as if to arrange signals,
the convention was called to order
by Speaker Cannon. Rev, Sniv-
ley prayed for about fifteen min-
utes, and then came the real show
show, prefaced by a speech nomi-
nating Theodore Roosevelt for
president, made by ex-Governor
Black of New York. The signals
then appeared to be worked, tt-
big brass band opened it with a
lively piece of music. The usher
nearest where I sat(?) turned his
back upon the speaker's stand,
faced the gallery and urged with
mouth and jesture for everyone
ar und to stand up and shout for
Roosevelt. This confusion kept
up for about twenty minutes, boys
climbed upon the speaker's stand
with tin horns, the band kept at
work, a life size picture of Roose-
velt was brought in and carried
around the hall, and as the Chi-
cago Daily News asys, "A small
colored boy James Blaine Caslun
of Georgia, with long curly hair,
was hoisted upon the platfoam,
and he waved in frantic fashion a
small national flag." There were
several speeches seconding Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination, one of
which was made by a big black
negro. I think his name was giv-
en as Cummins and was from
some of the northeastern states.
He showed the negro very plainly
in his speech as he said " I hold
this the pr-udest day of my life,
for in it I can add another star to
my crown by seconding '.he nom-
ination of President Roosevelt.'
To do the negro justice he ex-
pressed more true patriotism, than
can be found in any or all ( o the
speeches made by half dozen men
who preceded him. I caught this
sentence, "I hope to see the day
dawn, when every man who lives
under the Stais and Stripes may
look upon the Constitution of the
United States and say 'thou art
my shield and my buckler " TKe
speeches as a whole impressed me
like the "Boyville Stories", and
that Mr. Roosevelt was being se-
lected for the leader simply be-
cause he could do more things or
tricks than any of his comrades
could do. I notice the republican
papers speaking of the enormous,
enthusiastic crowd that was in at-
tendance etc. The fact is the hall
in which the convention met would
have to be made one-third larger
to give seating capacity to the
clerks that are employed by Mar
shall iMeld and Co. in their one
business house here, in Chicago,
