ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC JOURNAL ON THE
POLICY OF THE PARTY.
Cooperation with all Good Men Wanted.


From The New York Evening Express;
The sense of the country, il 1t could De
concentrated upon men and questions
would no doubt be against both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties; but as this
cannot well be brought about, the people
show their independence sometimes by re-
storing power to the Democratic party and
sometimes by independent action, as in
Iowa. Wisconsin, and elsewhere.
With these manifestations, therefore, it
becomes clear enough to those who can
and choose to see the end from the begin
ming that the character of men, even more
than their political faith, is to decide upon
the future. Men and principles are to be
considered even more than principles and
men. rs he honest ?" rs he capable? p
are to precede the questions, rs he Re
publican ?"''Is he Liber al 2, or, is he q
Democrat p Such seeking out of true meI
does not suppose indifference to principles
but rather the proper men to inculcate
promose and defend them. The first de
mand is for conscientious and deserving
men, whose first object is the welfare O
the country, and until this is done all oul
ideas of tariffs, free trade, finance, curren
cy and taxation are but little better thar
the wasted breath of men who work almos
without hope or promise OF success. WheI
bad men combine, good men should unite
and as Democratic journal we feel on
first duty to be to cooperate with all VIII
really desire honest government and hon
est men in Office.

POETRY.
September.


In sanctity Of vine-trailed caves,
With dainty fingers e'er she weaves
A fantasy of glowing leaves,
And flowers, and fruits, and cleaning sheaves
And, looking cut from calmest eyes,
With Madonna's pensive air,
She seems peaceful charm to bear
From teeming Paradise.
With mystery of change opprest.
Scanning the visionary West,
Where golden floods the reapers breast,
And bobolinks with sombre crest
And altered note their clans array;
She blends her soft signs with the coo
OF sorrowing doves, to find no clue
To secrets, which, like sparkling dew,
Hide in the brightest day.

In short it Is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most
the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars. COLTS ARMS CO. have spared no
expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA
CHIMES with which to build these Engines, SO that
every part is made up to gauge, and perfectly i'll
Interchangeable, the Importance Of which will be I'M
derstood by all who are at all familiar with machine
cry. Thus, every Engine of given size is an exact
duplicate of every other of nat size, and IN
OF breakage, the broken part ca be Immediately
placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor OF this Engine had in view, in its
construction, the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engine-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work. and that should also
bine all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure perfectly pho-
most perfect combustion and to take up the greatest
possible amount of heat in generating steam.
The second point was, to make a perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansivey, and keeping up
the temperature OF the cylinder to prevent loss by
radiation condensation.
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chine; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost notion that it may be used for any
number of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars much care has been taken as in
the largest and most perfect engine constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PROPORTIONED TIC THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON-
sUMED-thus proving the fact-well known to men
OF science-tdt tcaer is the best medium to trans
NIT the mechanical forces generated in the CON-
6uston of fuel, to the production of motive poarer.
