of Welsh national feeling Is ono of thu signs
of the times. Then the language which wad

siasm In the vat Ions towns of tlio principal
ity In the vernacular language1 , with the an
cient dritldlciil ceremonies which the sons of
Wales , who honored the o gatliciings In days
of joie , held In most respect. With Welsh
men the talent of music is Inborn nnd It is
curious to see tliu rustic lovers quartet pai lies
singing in thocountrv lanes. Learning Is
esteemed and tlio popular outcry for educa
tional facilities has been pirtly satisfied by
the Institution of colleges at Monger and Car

It the above statement Is true It relieves
those In charge of the freight train and the
train dispatcher from responsibility
nnd places It solely upon Con' '
doctor Harrington . nnd engineer
Brewer. Parties at Sliver Crwk assert
that Harrington signalled Brewer to go
ahead , but lie did so In tliu supposition that
the engineer had no orders to the contrary ,
them having been no orders given to either
of them nt Silver deck. The railroad
olllclals state positively that Drawer's orders
were to pass thu freight at Silver Creek , anil
that hodlsobevi'd them. Coroner Blood-of

When the new chairman appeared before the
convention he said :
"Gentlemen of the Conference : 1 highly
apincciato the honor von have couforied
upon me. Tliero are possibly otlicis piesont
who could state bettei than I can the pircho
puiposes of this convention. We aio hereunder
under call of tuio and lojal lemibllcans
dislrlng.to accomplish wliatvvo bi-liovo will
hoof gieat good to thn American people.
For no self I never had tlie slightest thought
of attempting to organise a new
political paity. 1 think that such n
thought docs not enter the minds of any
otlici delegates here present. The paity that
freed the slave , tliat dignified human labor ,
tlmt enacted the homestead law , that sup-
pi csscd the meat rebellion , that defended
Us honor and advanced it to the iiont rank
of the nations of the earth , Is good enough
tonne. " The speaker said the recoid of the
paity lor twenty > ears showed Its willingness
to ginppiu tills new issue and carry it to vlo
toiy. The issue was as grave ns anv republi
can had to meet in tlie past. It resolved
Itself Into thn question whether the silooii
was to dominate tlio policy of tlie nut on.
We aio heio simply for consultation. Wo
meet to oncotnago it to take hold of thisques-
tlon , which it surclv will have to do and the
sooner the better. The speaner said he would
looic at tlio question solely from a political
standpoint and not from ti moial standpiint.
The saloon was In politics with its assess
ments and nionoy. It to-day controls
thu politics of every largo city. "It elects
your itmyors , " said tlio speaker. In Minnesota
seta thu democratic paity had nominated lot
governor "Mio very incarnation of tlie saloon
intciusts. " He then spoke for thlity minutes
on the gnneral issue. He touched on the pro
hibitionists and said it was his view that
they could carry out their puiposes In a bet
ter way. In following the lead of the lepnb-
liciin party thuy will find tliatth.it paily
said that slavery should extend no fintliri ,
and on Unit platform slavery was absolutely
abolished. If the republican parly would de
clare tor High license , local option and iccog-
niru thu right of tlio people to vote on the
question dhyclly when they wished to do so ,
all loveis of tompcunco should follow that
lead.

When the convention ic.issembled in the
afteinoon the committee on i ( solutions was
not prepared to icport and did not appear
before the convention until 5o'clock. In tlie
meantime , shoit speeches were made by a
number ot delegates on the general tampcr-
anco Issue In the seveial states of tlio union ,
TI'O ' icport of tlio committee was as fol
lows :
Tlio anti-saloon republicans , Jby tliclr ri'j > -
icsentatlves In national conlcruncu assem
bled , declare as follows :
" 1. Tint the liquor trafllc as It exists to-day
In the United States Is an onoiuy of society ,
a filKhtfiil souico ot corruption In politics ,
an allj of nnaichy , a school of crime , and ,
with us avowed nurpo oof sjuklng to cor-
inplly control alcctinns and legislation , Is a
menace to the public weifaiu and deserves
the condemnation of all good men.
2. Tliat wodeclaio war against the saloons
nnd hold It to bo the supiemu duty of tliu
govurnmcnt to adopt such measures that
shall lestrlct and contiol its Influence and at
tliecaillest possible moment extinguish It
.
11. Wu believe the national government
should absolutely prohibit the niannfactnio
and sale of Intoxicating liquors in the DIs-
tilctof Columblaandlu all Territories of the
United States.
) . Wo believe the best practical method of
dealing with the liquor tralllo In the several
elate * Is to let the jMjoplo decide whether It
h.illbopiohlbitcdby the snbmlsslnn of con-
tltutlonal amendments , nnd until such
nibiulmontsnio adopted by the passage of
> cal option laws.
6. That Inasmuch as the saloon business
catcs a special biitden of taxation upon the
oplo to support courts , jails and alms-
nouses , thercfote a largo annual tax should
ba levied upon the saloons as long as they
continue- exist , and that they should bo
made responsible for pllpubllonnd pilvato
injury resulting front the trafilo.
o. That ttio republican paity , wherever and
whenever in power , will faithfully enforce
whatsoever ordinances , statutes or constitu
tional amendments nm > bo unacted for thu
lestilctlon or suppression of the liquor trallic.
7. That we approve the notion of contcrc,33
nnd those states that have done so. In provid
ing for teaching Ilia physiological ellucts ot
Intoxicants In our public schools , and that wo
earnestly recommend lo etery state lecUla-
line the enactment of such laws ns shall pro
vide for the thorough teaching of such ellucts
to our children ,
8. Woilemnna that the republican party ,
to which wo belong , and whose welfare wo
cherish , shall take a tirm and decided stand
ns it friend of the homo and enemy of tuo
saloon , In favor of this policy nnd tlui.so
measures. Wo pledge oursel\us to do our
utmost tocauie the party to take such a
stand , nnd wo call upon temperance men nnd
all friends of humanity. , of whatever party
or name , to Join with 113 In securlnsj these
objects , and In support ot the republican
ai ty so far as it shall adopt them.
The resolutions were adopted as n whole.
with only three dissenting votes. During

WA miN < up.v , Sept. W. rSpeclal Tele
gram to the llui : . I The dccorntois nt the
vvhlto house are in a quandary as to what to
do with the terrible moss they have made of
the historical blue room. The delicate and
lovely painting of tills exquisite 100111 was
done In Aithni's time by Tlllany and was
the pci fectlon of ait. When the local paint
ers got Into tlie house this summer under the
supeivlslon of thu superintendent of public
buildings they thought they had discovered
that thu lower pat t of the walls of thu blue
room had faded. Now the design of Tiffany
had bcun a graduation of blue , and for the
delicate light tint thu new artists thought
they had discovered n failing. So eiders
vveie given for a giand dado of sky blue.
Old the anguish of the artists when they dis
covered their awful blunder. Hut worst of
all was the hideous effect the ultra marine
had on the delicate robins eggs blue.
Hut the damage had boon done nnd the best
had to bo made of It , so the painters manfully
went to work , and when the room was given
its mst coat it was n veiltablu iiiKbtmaie.
What exactly to do they know not , but to-day
the "artists" weio vury busy In tijing to
"Hclilon" the shades on the hideous ultra-
mntlno to sotton It down. Tliero were thieo
painters on n ladder trying tlie effect ot a
light sea Kieen on one of the shutteis. The
boss artist was inKinir vaiions coloicd blues
In spots on the Iloor , and "Hector , " tlie Ant
werp poodle , was showlnc his utter disgust
of tno whole affair by tinning up Ills nose at
each place of fresh paint. "Hector , " of late ,
has bucomu quite the master of the white
house. He has had n now alligator skin col-
lai sent him fiom his mistress in tlio Adlion-
dacks and on the collar is a plain plato bon
ing tlieso woids : "Hector Cleveland. " Hec
