It seems that elopements are following In

:. First was the elopement Of the

respondcncc, looked with favor oil the
manly form OF the coachman Of neigh

and flew with him. Now comes another
and very complicated case, II equity Ger
man, who runs of with tho seventeen
year old daughter Of his friend, and WHO
quarter Of century ago was tho rival o
Of the girls father for her mothers hant
in sleepy old lnspruck, the capital city o
the Tyrol in Austria.

blood, and to show TINT hc meant what HI
said he armed himself with revolver ant
ut once started out on his mission OF gore
The last, though by no means the leas
important case, is the elopcnlent Of OK
Senator Grady with tho Widow Butler
The political character Of this, affair, how
ever, does not rob 1t Of the romance that j
generally supposed to cluster aroun'
gbdircs glamour. "'s4SNr
Taken altogether this has not been NJ
extraordinarily bad month for elopcmcnts
and it is to be presumed that rs tho montl
Is not yet out tho returns arc not all in.

THE DUTY or DEMOCRATS.

The genuine Democrat who has the
real interest OF the party at heart will
not vote for Railroad Commissioners.
This Commission scheme is an eff
fort of professional politicians to put
through measure for their benefit by
fastening it ON the party. Such
tactics are an insult to the intelligence
of the Democratic masses who
should have the manllness TO resent
it r.
These politicians seem TO consider
Democratic voters nothing more than
pawns on the chess board, to be moved
at their will. A set OF dummies to be
dressed up and set about according to
their iking-a herd of spiritless idiots
who will be ready to lower their
thumbs whenever these political ST.
mons say wig wag. ...
A man Of any independence of
thought will not be thus drummed
into the support of a side issue that he
does not believe in, and the ultimate
tendency of making such measures
the text Of party fealty can be nothing
less than party disintegration.
For this reason we say that the well
wishers of Democracy will do the par
ty service by emphatically discoun-
tenancing such proceedings. The
principles of Democracy are well
known and it is only on such princi-
Piles that party lines can be drawn.
The schemes Of these would be bosses
must be frustrated.
