The question of who is to be
the choice of the republican par
ty is the largest interrogation to
confront the political world for
years and, although the signal
guns of the forthcoming cam
paign have long since heen bred,
the answer cannot reasonably be
said to have commenced to ap
pear. Indications point to
Hughes as the probable choice ot
the party if that gentleman can
be persuaded to forego his pres
ent honors for a doubtful voyage
over the turbid waters of the po
litical ocean.
1 his, however, he has shown
little indication of wishing to do
so the question remains: "If not
Hughes, who?”
Burton, Borah, Root, Mann,
iCummins, Johnson and the ir
repressible Roosevelt are prom
inently mentioned in connect.on
with the nomination. Indeed,
it is practically settled that the
nominee of the republican con
vention will be one of these men.
But; wh.ch one? At the present
time there seems to be none of
them who may be considered a
pre-eminent figure in the politi
cal spot light. Aside from the
apparently unaspiring Hughes,
Senator Cummins appears to be
enjoving the largest share of
public favor at present but it is
By no means indicated that he
will be the choice of the conven
tion- Burton, also, appears to
be cast for a leading part in the
political drama, though, as in the
case of Cummins, there is little
to distinguish him from the rest
of the presidential aspirants. In
point ot personal quauncations,
me astute Koot seems a mucn
huger ngure man any of them,
bin, aias: presidential nomina
tions a.e not altogether deemed
by such things as capaclt.es. In
addition, it is a popular belief
that Root is tainted with the
slime of corporation affiliations.
W hether such belief is justified
or not, it has deprived him of a
large share of the popularity that
might have been his had matters
been otherwise.
b’cot is unquestionably one of
the most remarkably talented
men in the United States but
this does not relieve him from
the odium of be.ng a tool of the
corporations. As a consequence,
although his. is unquestionably a
p -sonality nod to ligntiy
considered, it is generally con
ceued that his chances are at
hast no better than those of men
of less known ability. Laying
aside the question of Rooseveit s
undetermined candidacy, the re*
publ.can party appears to be fac
ing a situation very similar to
that which confronted the demo
crats in 1895. Then, as is now the
case with the republicans, there
was no candidate who could be
looked upon as the natural choice
of the party. There was no
dearth of candidates for the
nomination hut there was no one
who was clearly indicated as a
standard bearer. Practically the
only difference in the situation
then and now is that there were
not so many candidates in the
field for the democratic nomina
tion then as there are at present
seeking the republican nomina
*,‘.on. Otherwise the situations
were very much the same- There
were plenty of likely candidates
before the Chicago convention;
however, but there were none
who offered a signal attraction
to either the politicians or the
people. No one man was fore
most in the race, none who pos
sessed more than a nominal pop
u'arity, and until the sudden and
lemarkable advent of Mr. bryan,
a11 might be said to have had
equal chances of becoming the
choice of the convention right up
to the last hour. The result was
that Bryan, till then almost un
I nnwn, captured the fancy of the
convention and the nomination
with his famous “Cross of Gold”
address.
It is, of course, rather early
to speculate, save along the
boardest lines, but it may be that
situations so strikingly similar
may develop further analogies,
even to the final choice resting
upon some one who is not re
garded at present a$ even a like
ly possibility. Roosevelt is, of
course, the unknown quantity
which may upset all calculations.
Although it seems reasonably
plain that he is not an especially
popular figure, as a candidate,
with the republicans just now, at
the same time he possesses a re
markable hold on the public im
agination and wields a powerful
influence within the republican
ranks. Probably no man since
the great Blaine has stood, so
pre-eminent in national affairs as
dries the inscrutable sage of Oys
ter Bay. At least it is undenia
bly certain that there is no one
who commands a wider hearing
both within and without the re

STORY OF THE WHALE
(An Eskimo Legend.)
A long, long tmie ago there
was a ceuain muiaii village built
in a halt moon around a oeautuul
uay wtiere in the season the in
namtants cauglit great quantities
of Herring ana pacned them
away tor winter use. Lut one
) eai a great monster whaie ap
peared in tne bay and ate up all
tne Herring. T lie people, in des
peration, tnreateneu witn winter
staivation, wildly appealed to
tneir inarrian or wise man. ne
ciianged himself to a limpet
cimging to a rock, and when uie
wliaie passed pursumg the her
ring he transfered himself to the
sine ot the whale. Limpets mul
tiply very rapidly and very soon
tne sides ot tne giant creature
were covered with limpets who
burrowed under the whale s skin
and became very painful. In
running against the rochs to re
move them he followed an under
ground channel and emerged into
a lake under a greatv oicauo and '
could not hnd his way back again,
out for tear He would get hungry
and return the women cameo
baskets of fish up to the top of
tne volcano alter the fishing rea
isan and tnrew them into the
crater down to the whale below,
where he was rolling in great
agony.
'1 he powerful whale Indians
from the west coast of Prince of
of W ales island came in great
numbers to this bay for herring
to which they had no rights. The
weaker people, owning the bay,
not being strong enough to drive
out these powerful whales or to
make war against them, resorted
to d.plomacy and a settlement
was negotiated by their Sharrian
by the terms of which they
■agreed to pay tribute to the
whale Indians if they would not
fish in their waters, so every year
the women carried a percentage
of the fish over the mountain to
the whales to keep them pacified.
10 MAKE SEWER PIPE
FROM IMS LAVA
From out o! a host of impossi
ble schemes to utilize the molten
lava which always affords a uni
que spectacle at the famous vol
cano of Kilauea, on the island of
Hawaii, its emciency as a factor
in specialized construction is be
lieved to have at last been prac
t.caily demonstrated. After
weeks spent in scientific research
and investigation, it is proposed
to use the product from Kilauea's
wonderful caldron in the manu
facture of sewer pipe and vitri*
^eil brick W. S. Townsend, a
prominent manufacturer of stone
piping, from Ohio, has expressed '
“•himself as satisfied that there
would be no difficulty in erecting
conveyors which would remove '
lava from the monstrous fire pit
to moulds. Should the present 1
plans be carried out, a plant for 1
the manufacture of a variety of
fireproof brick and pipe would be <
built near the craters’ brink- The
heat generated at the crater is
said would have no injurious ef
fect on the conveyors used in re
moving the lava from the vol
canic pit to plant. Upon the re
port made by Mr. Townsend on
his return to the mainland, will
depend the success of the under
