could, if VIC were inclined to 60 over

THE verb ''to burke" has been brought into
prominence by the killing, at Cincinnati, of
three persons for the purpose of selling their
bodies for the purpose of dissection The
origin of the word dates back to 1928, when
the high prices paid for cadavers by the col
leges at Edinburgh, Scotland, induced man
named Burke and an associate named Hare to
murder people in order to realize on their
bodies. It is believed that they were the
murderers of sixteen persons, whose bodies
they sold to anatomists. 1t was their practice
to inveigle poor people, generally strangers,
into their houses make them drunk, and then
smother them. Burke, informed against by
Hare, was condemned for thus disposing of
an old woman. and suffered the last penalty
of the law. Hence the new English verb, to
burke.

while the tariff might safely be modified in
certain directions it should still be kept up as
a means of protecting American industries,
The Democratic party is divided against itself,
and, as a result, must needs put forth plat
form ambiguous in its import and capable Of
contradictory Interpretation. In the main,
however, that party is opposed to the idea of
protection and in favor Of free trade The
Republican party favors ciVil-seryice reform,
and has made an effort toward accomplishing
something practicable in this direction. The
Democratic senator who was honest enough
to devise bill looking to that end has just
been most shamelessly defeated in his effort
to secure a reelection and more on that ac-
count than any other.
The Republican party believes in a free bal
lot and honest count. The Democratic party
is the apologist for political murders and as
sassins. The Republican party believes in a
solid country, the Democratic in a solid
South. The Republican party relies on popu-
lar favor, the Democratic on the shotgun and
the tissue ballot, and if these fail nothing is
left but to try to buy votes in the Electoral
College.
These are a few of the distinguishing
features of the two parties. The one has
always been in the right, while the other has
as continually been wrong. If we may predi-
cate the future from the past, the hope of the
country still lies in the Republican party. II
found the country in rags and has clothed ii
with riches It received the country from the
hands of the Democratic party weighed down
by African slavery. 1t has lifted the bond
men to citizenship. From bankruptcy it has
led the country to the soundest credit in the
world. 1t found industry languishing. To
day the wheels of traffic are whirling in every
State in the Union. The unbiased reader
of current and past events can make no mis-
take There is no choice as between things
of equal merit. The Republican party has al
ways been superior to the Democratic in vir
tue, wisdom and honor, and is so now, and will
be next year and indefinitely so long as the
Democratic party places spoils above virtue
and partisanship above patriotism

THE Democratic howlers about fraud in the

A KNOWING correspondent of the New York
Tribune used up two columns with a discus
sion of possible presidential candidates. The
concluding paragraph says;
"On the whole and in fine nothing definite
can be said of the situation except that every
thing is indefinite. AS a compensation to the
Republicans, their opponents are in the same
situation, and indeed one degree worse, for
they are seriously dividing on the leading
issue of the campaign and are developing

THE Democratic argument is that murder
is murder anywhere and under all circum-
stances. The government does not regard it
in that light, and presumes to lay its hands on
those who paralyze elections by numbering
men who dare 10 vote as they please. A man
stops and robs freight train. The general
government does nothing, because it is not
affected in its functions. The same fellow
stops mail train, and federal officer takes
him in charge and federal court sentences
him. The men who murdered Matthews at
Hazlehurst did so because he dared TO
vote in opposition to their commands.
They sought to, and to a degree
did paraly2o orc Of tho functions of
