A New York broker recently inquired
OF the Treasury Department rs 70 the
the course II pursued in regard to stolen
or lost Government bonds, saying :
+tSuppose, for instance, that any bro
ker or banker, buys 4 bond or other
issue OF the Government In good faith,
II being negotiable, payable TO bearer,
and It should prove TO have been lost OF
stolen from former buyer or owner,
do you, as Secretary OF the Treasury,
protect the original owner, to the preju-
dice OF the innocent buyer3'' The
Treasury Department replied:
There Is no different Law for Govern
ment than for other negotiable securi-
ties. Whether, then, your question re-
feFs to compound interest notes. or nnV
other form of these securities, q pur-
chase In good faith, fora valuable con-
stderation, would be protected, not
Withstandlng thut they bad before been

the practice Of this department. at tbe

BILE them to furnish the department evil

chase was for value, so that It may act

The Supreme Court Of the United
States recently decided Gas they have

seats on the COW catcher and went into
Madison from Prairie du Chen in advance
Of the train, as 'twere. Riding on the COW
catcher is fun. You take scat on the
bumper, your calves rest on the strong
slat work of the catcher whose pointed
iron bound nose like that of some trained
dog seems to hunt the way and open the
rails for the train to pass over. Right be
hind is the front of the steam boiler with
its chuff chuck and chuckle. Ahead is
the country, with the slim rails evenly
spanning the earth, seeming to converge
miles ahead As We dash over the prairie at
the rates of thirty miles an hour. No dust

whirls away the dust accommodating on the
track. On and away. The earth seems

But If the COW catcher with its pointed

mass Of rubbish and ruins Of brute life

Or II the engine should run from the track,
plunge its powerful front into q bank, and

have ridden thus in advance several times
swalting to see an accident, not for the &C.

in time of danger. Once, years ago, the
engine threw hog over the telegraph wire
into the brushes, and another time it struck

scrambling back along the side Of the huge
boiler, anxious to talk acith the engineer.

The New York Times says:

1.-THE difficulty is that the vitality Of the
Democratic Party is something that has
always baffled calculation. We only know
that It is extraordinary that it has in time
past been proof against what ought to have
made IN end of it dozen times over. l,
is with political parties as it is with crea.
lures Of the animal kingdom-there is an
immense Inference in their tenacity upon
life."
Whereupon the Hartford Times thus
responds:
1.-THE Times understands the fact that
the Democratic party cannot be readily
destroyed, but it does not comprehend the
cause of its vitality.
"The principles Of the Democratic party
arc founded upon those Of the constitu-
tion. sIt Is the constitutional party. Vic.
late the principles Of the constitution, and
the Democratic party protests. Conform
to those principles, and tic Democratic
party tenders its support.

the constitution survives that party will
