Tramps.


The people of Vermont. Illinois, a pretty
little town on the G. B. SO. R. R., were
oyerrun by tramps last night. This
morning at 6 o'clock $50 boarded the
train, and at 9 o'clock. three hours later,
800 more captured the next train. Of
this number of them stopped to pillage,
and went through farmers house near
there, helping themselves to whatever
came handy and then locking
the inmates in room made their escape.
The sheriff of the county, however, was
informed of the outrage and gathering a
posse started on horseback to intercept the
train on which it was supposed they would
take refuge. The train was stopped and
the men captured. The farmer identi-
fed them as the right parties and the
sheriff jailed them. Astoria, station
near Vermont, hearing that the tramps
were coming, organized posse of 40 men,
who, armed with shot guns, rifles and
revolvers stood at the depot to receive
them. The tramps did not get off at that
station. Of course among this large num-
Der of men there are many who are willing
to work but cannot raise money to pay cal
fare, but there are many more who belong
to the worst classes of society. and who
would not work if the opportunity were
offered. 1t is rumored that some 300 OF
these tramps will reach Rock Island dur.

The Democratic Position
[Courier journal. !

The democratic position is clear, intel.
ligible and thoroughly constitutional, but
the republicans can not even formulate an
intelligent definition of their latest posi-
ton, When they say the nation is
glrded with power to guard its own life
TO protect its citizens, to execute its own
elections aud to regulate its own laws
this Is mere twaddle. If they mean the
federal government is ''girded with
power to do these things. the supreme
court OF the United States, which is the
authority on constitutional questions for
the whole country, shows very decidedly
that the constitution of the United States
has not conferred the right of suffrage
upon any one, and that the United States
have no voters Of their own creation in
the states" This is the language of Chief
Justice Waite. He also said that THE
right of suffrage is not necessary attri-
butte of national citizenship; but exemption
from discrimination in the exercise of the

What it MeanR.

The Republican press point to the re-
turns of PachecO's district, California; as an
example OF the steadfastness OF the party
and cite the vote now aud that of 1877 as
an example Of the increase. la the last
contest PAchccO was defeated by vote.
yet this time, owing tosthe divided opposi.
ton ne has plurality Of 1900. The Re
puolcans seems to regard this as great
victory, whereas it is but an illustration of
the beautysof keeping alive the greenback
ortthird party. The vote in Pacheco's
district show that the Democratic vote
was divided, while the Republicans voted
straight. 1t shows, too, that the Republi
cans who joined the new party, lett it on
election day, while the Democrats who
joined voted as they had said they would.
The third party is simply tail for the
Republican kite and the sooner Democrats
make the discovery and stick to their
party. the sooner will the Republican
party be thoroughly whipped z

Geology has shown us that nature ac-
cOmplishes her greatest revolutions
in the earth's surface conformation
Sloply. Every year the river makes its
channel deeper, the glacier wears a
deeper gorge in the Alpine rock. and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has
crumbled from the rocks upon which
it breaks. We note the earthquake
and the devastating hurricane; but
these changes are so gradual man sell
dom observes them until the channel
has become overhanging cliffs, or o
mountain has disappeared before the
icy stream, or the ocean has given us a
Florida. Thus it is in disease. Our
attention is attracted by acute dIsea-
ses. as feyers. cholera, etc, while
chrome diseases (often the most dan
gerous in result), being slow in their
development, are seldom noticed until
they have made an almost ineffaCeable
impression upon the system. Persons
believing themselves comparatively
hCalthful are Oft-Uimes the victims of
these diseases, and only become aware
of their presence when reliefis almost
impossible. Disease of the liver and

chronic affections. DR., Pierce's Gold

When Col. Browne, the British resi-
dent at Mandalay, escaped from that city
he left in charge of the official residence a
deputy, who it is now thought may be in
danger of losing his life during one of the
King Thebaw's fits of alcoholic insanity.
Instructions have therefore been sent him
that he leave town as soon as possible. In
order to maintain the dignity of the Brit
ish lion, the necessity for which it was
feared the substitute for the valiant Mr..
Browne might not appreciate, the deputy
has been advised that bis departure be
taken 10 a leisurely way without the
betrayal oil indecent haste As the young
monarch is said to have started on a new
drunk, celebrating the rare event by the
customary butcheries, it is probable that
the acting resident will get out of reach as
soon as possible regardless OF appearances

Capitalization Means a Monarchy.


There are those in the ranks of the stall
warts who would cheerfully accept one Of
two alternatives-eith q centralized gov
eminent or a divided country. Republi-
can leaders may deny this, and of course
they will, but deep down in their hearts
there are men in the Republican party who,
while loudly proclsiming for the preserva-
ton of the union, are really DESTROYS tor
another war, war that would irrecoucil-
ably divide sections and forever debar the
south from full enjoyment of the benefits
of the union. The Republican party is
dependent for existence on the misfortunes
of the people, and if by plunging the
country into war on some real or imagin-
airy issue, the stalwsrts could maintain
their power, there is not Republican
leader but would say Amen" to the pro-
gramme and help to secure its consum-
nation. 1t is all we'll enough for Repub~
lican orators to preach loyalty, but their
acts belle their utteTances, and instead OF
being the steadfast friends Of the union,
they are the worst enemies the republic
has. 1.-THE stalwart scheme OF national
supremacy, which is but synonym for CEN
tralization. were adopted, the United
States of America would become part OF
history, while the new historian
would record events in "Ameri-
ea"-under the reign of Grant,,
or whoever the emperor might be. There
are thousands of men professedly Repub-
icans, men who have made millions at
governmental expense, who would delight
to have a handle to their names, and in
order to be dubbed, My LORD" would
sacrifice the union, the liberties of the
people and the government to accomplish
it. Nothing but their cowardice, for all
traitors and sneaks are towards, prevents
open advocacy of the proposed centralza-
ton scheme which leads to the empire.
Deny it they may, disguise the real pur-
poses as they will, the true intention Of
the stalwart defenders of the doctrine Of
national supremacy, are at heart in favor
of central government recognizing no
subordinate power outside the central
head This is just what national suprem-
acy meaus-and no amount of lodging can
successfully contradict the assertion. Sc
desperate has the situation become, that
there is nothing the .stalwarts would not
do To accomplish their internal designs
even though it involved sacrifice of the

Straight Democracy and Nothing Else


The greeDback party was organized to
divide and dismember the Democratic
party. ln localities where the vote was
close or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS large, money
has been freely furnished to keep alive
the organization; but so soon as the third
party began to talk fusion with Democ
racy, then the republican agents stepped
10 and used money freely to undo the mis-
chief they themselves had wrought. Thus
it was in Maine; so long as ithe new party
oould be used to hopeessly divide the
democracy it was fostered and encouraged
with Republican money, but when it as
sumed proportions likely to overthrow the
stalwarts, then Blaine and his cohorts
were frantic, aud thousands were spent to
destroy the fabric which they had built
1t was a clear case of coming home to
plague the inventors. So it will prove in
the end, and Democrats have only to stand
fast by their. old party principles, vote
straight and renounce all outside party
lSms to accomplish the overthrow OF the
Republicans in this country. 1t is because
OF tho evident disposition Of Democrats to
vote straight that the .stalwarts leaders
are alarmed and are casting about fol
some new dodge to disorganize Democ.
racy. Let Democrats pay no heed to new
parties or new tangled doctrines, bat
clothed with the armor of Democracy and
supported by the time houored principles
OF the party, keep steadily in the ranks
This will secure victory, while joining is,
sues with third parties or outside factions
will bring defeat. Democrats stand by
your party principles and vote for your
party candidates. By this means your or
ganization will be strengthened and the
chances of victory greatly increased.
