DEMocaATIc PRMcIPLEs-

The Democratic party platforms usually pledge fealty to vaguely hinted abstract doctrines and traditions" In Tact the party ls endeavoring to subsist on the frail nourishment Of past glory. diluted to suit the caukerous palate of its diminishing adherents, and it Is much m the position Of the useless and scarcely ornamental son of an illustrious sire, whose only virtue is his pedigree. The New York Tribune says that the trouble with ',ll the opponents of Demo- cracy is that they resolutely decline Co go into particulars. They shun detail. They point with pride to Democratic principles, but signally fail to specify what those principles are. The result is that the student of our politics who fain would learn from Democratic leaders what the principles Of their party really are, Is no better of than the listener at a scientific gathering who hears a paper m which he is particularly interested read-'by title Artemus Ward was accustomed to inform his audience, in the course Of one Of his lectures, I've got gifts of eloquence, but I don't hap pen tO have them ahCut Inc this even ing Ths general public, rendered scepticul by the course of Democracy during the last quarter of century, is inclined to conclude that If that party still is the proprietor of principles it never happens to have them about itself these days.
 And still one can scarcely blame the Democratic party for declining to do much in the principle line. For the fact Is that 1t has been its principles that have brought 1t so often to grief since ls6O. Its principles touching slavery, touching the war, touching the draft, touching emancipation, touching the formation Of the Mai onal Bank system, touching the issue of greenbacks, touch lng reconstruction, touchirg the amend ments to the Federal Constitution. touching resumptiOn---s principles on all these great matters it has been con- pelled to renounce. Little wonder, then, that it has become convinced that prin. ciples are exceedingly embarrassing, and that to-day it is endeavoring to get along without such luggage"

Ike Schwindelmeyer Is a relative of old mau Schwindelmeyer, of the well known firm of Schv-indelmeyer & Co. Ike is a recent importation from Germany, and travels for the firm. He has q very great opinion of himself. and thinks that vindelmeyer owns this world and has 8 builders lien on the next. Not long since young Schwiudelmeysr visited Houston. On the morning of his arrival. after breakfast, he started up the avenue. It happened that the funeral procession of prominent citizen vas also proceed ing up the avenue. Ike was abreast of the hearse, and the gentleman on the sides removed their hats and remained uncovered until the hea-se passed. Ike took all this .O himself, and politely re- turned the salutation with some pleas There was a larger crowd ut-l.vtn41AES' at the corner of Pecan street, and when Ike and the hesrse came they all took off their hats reverently. Ike was moved at this universal homage, and exclaimed, half cOufidentially, tO himself: "I yOn- der who tole 'em I wash travelling for Schwindelmeysr t Co" - Galveston Naua

BILLY THE FD

Since the wild adventures of the young desperado of New Mexico have become
 matters of record. and the mortal re-
 mains of Bll ;Le Kid fulfilled their dcs-
 tiny of becoming food for the worms. a
 morbid ambition has been developed iu
 many quarters to acquire notoriety un- der that sohriquet The border Terri tories are not always selected as a school of training III iniquity, ani the most civ lllzed and cultured cente-s frequentIy crown the kings Of crime. One of toe most recent disciples of sin who has ex. changed his patronymic for that of Billy the Kid, receives the following attention m the columns Of the New York Tribune of a recent date:
 That illustrious robber of banks and breaker of jails, popularly known as Billy the Kid once more is in tue hands of Justice. The Kid lately escaped from the jail at Albany under circumstances which did more credit to the zeal and pluck of his friends than to the skill and idelity Of tue officers of that institution. Ore bright afternoon the Kid walked out of uis narrow cell into the boundless fir -f lIherty, nd had he been content 10 rest from his professional labors and remain ID retirement he might have been free to-day. But finding himself in Min ueapolis, the desire to see the workings of the banking system Of that part ofthe creat Northwest proved too much for hm- The result of his investigation was au introduction to the Chief of Police of Minneapolis, who paid him marked at- teniions, and cordially invited him to sit for his photograph. The Kid respect lully but firmly declined to have his pie ture taken, and his persistence in his declination led the Chief Of Police to form the shrewd conclusion that a gentle man who was so desirous to escape fame must be a distinguished character. The scruples of the kid were overcome, his identity was established, and the Sheriff oi Albany county promptly telegraphed SO. 1t is to be hoped that arrangements will now be made to keep the Kid in private life for a long term of years"

The Los Angele. Herald does not
 intend to charge cent for the following suggestions in regard to the lawless ele- ment m Arizona. l. says:
 Mir. c. C. Lips got m from Arizona yesterday, after a business trip of some
 weeks duration Tn that Territory. One of the incidents of our tov1sman's early
 morning walk wac his discovery of the
 body of Stilwell, lying m . little depres- sion. outside of the Tucson depot. For the mOmenI Mr. Lips thought he was looking apOn drunken man, but the opened mouth, ghttering teeth and glaring eyes of the deceSsed satisfied him that he was ID fact gazing upon a cadayer whose mutton had been cooked according to approved frontier methods oi cuisine. Mir. Lips tells us that busi- ness just now Is little dull ia the Terri tory. We are not a particle surprised at this. With lot of capital shots and genuine desperadOes whOOpIng around m bands, with biz. biz, and your man served mp for breakfast every other day or so, it is small wonder that immigra- ton IS slightly on the decrease. Our fellow citizens of the sun-kissed land, some way or other. ought to manage to get tri.ie of law and order into their Clay out" We don't wish tc be under stood as implying the slightest dis respect to any of these gentlemanly and high-tOned disputants of the revolver, rife and bowie knife; but can t they, just out of deference to people who desire tO come into the Territory and hurry up developments, expedite n little the ad- justment of their somewhat complicated personal differences, and then call it quits" There ought to be some lonely spot or other, III the Chiricahua or some other range of drear and grizzly noun tains, where they could have a friendly meeting and adjust all the old scores, with the understanding that anybody who should refer to the unpleasantness hereafter shDulu be voted not to be gen tleman, and sent to She social Coventry of Arizona What say the gentlemen of the sun-kissed land to this practical and really easy solution of the present lamentable status in quo which prevails Arizona wards? They certainly ought to thank us for the sagacious sugges- tiOn.

Wars DeyaStation.

Some idea may be gained of tlS ter
 rlOle devastation Of war from the con- cluding volume of a work entitled "The
 Franco Gt rman War Of lS70-1l. by the
 staff of the German army" It appears from this work that tbe German army lost, during the war, 6,247 officers, and l23,453 men. The whole force of the German army during the war, amounted tO 44.420 officers, and l,454,O4 men, of whom 43,l0l officers and l,ll3,24 men took part III the campaign. Within seV- en months 23OW0 persons wero nursed in the field hospitals; Sl202l patients re- ceived in the reserve hospitals Add tO this the losses Ot the French, which were greater than those of Germany: the destruction of property; the losses to the productive industries of both Ger
 many and France during the war; the immense cost of war material, reaching into the billions of dollars. and We can form sOme idea of the wicked destruct- iveness of war. and the criminality of rulers who resort tO war to settle some tTiiiing dispute that could have been settled by arbitration satisfactOrily-and would be SO settled If the dispute occurred between private individuals. When the nations learn to war no more true prosperity and happiness will per wade the world. Large standing armies are sapping the life blood from the peO- pie of the old world. and sending it's citizens to the western continent to seek that freedom from the yoke of oppres- sion which grinds them down at home.
