TIE real position of the Democrat.

TIE real position of the Democrat
ic party towards the people is clear
ly shown in the annexed article from
the Creston, Iowa, Gazette. While
dealing principally with the party in
It's relations this year tn the people OF
Iowa and Ohio. the article defines 81
clearly the position of Democracy
throughout the nation, that even its
warmest adherents, if they let their
good judgment rule. must acknOwl.
edge the correctness of the picture:
There are phases of hypocrisy, but
the Democratic party can always be
trusted to adopt the one best suited
to its purpose.
1t is nothing without a master.
Its old master was slavery, its new
master the whisky ring.
1t Obeyed orders and has no troubles
of conscience, for it has none.
It's not alarmed at inconsistency
for inconsistency is it's chief glory.
1t has no rule of action save to OPP
pose what the Republican party ad-
vOcates.
Members of the Republican party
in Ohio secured the passage of the
Scott law, high-license law. The
whisky ring ordered it to fight that
law and the Democrats denounced it
in Ohio.
In Iowa the Republicans having as.
certained the will of the people to he
for prohibition. declare their purpose
to see that will is Oheyed.
The whisky ring orders the Demo.
Gratis of Iowa to advocate II judiciOuS
license law and ut once the welkin
rings with Democratic demands for
license.
HOadley, a Democrat in Ohio, de
nOunces the Scott law, and declares
the only consistent course for temper.
ance men to take is to advocate pro
hiMtiOn.
Kline, Il Democrat i'm Iowa. says
prohibition is wrong and license
law right.
Hoadlev says prohibition will pro
hibit, Kline says it will not.
Kline says judiciOus license law
is Just the thing. Hoadley says it is
not.
Yet Kline and HOadley are both
good Democrats, and are consistent
each in doing just what the whisky
ring i'm its locality demands.
The people in both States under
stand this.

AN important discovery of valu,
able mineral deposit in this state
has lately been made public. About
l57 miles below Duluth are several
small islands, and upon one of these
three years ago was discovered Il
small vein of spar about three inches
wide. This vein has been developed
to the depth of about 240 feet, and
has widened to nearly two feet OF
solid ore, yielding copper to the
amount of 5000 or more per ton. st.
Paul and Minneapolis capitalists
have been interested in developing
the vein, and have kept their secret
until tho present. Thesuccess of the
mines now seems established, and
another is added to the already long
