Political platforms sometimes mean
what they say and say what they mean,
but the Democratic platform as an
equivocal document on everything that
is at issue, takes the cake by very
large majority. Its arraignment of the
Republican party is full and complete,
and no doubt is quite sincere on that
point, but while it accuses the Republ-
cans OF many sins Of omission and COM
mission, it forgets that Democratic
House of Representatives has been in
power since 1876, and many of the evils
complained Of at the hands of the Re-
publicans could have been corrected.
had there been an honest desire to ben
eft the dear people. AS an instance,
showing the catch-penny part of 1t, is
the sentence contrasting the record of
that party in the acquisition of Louis
lana, Florida and California and adjacent
Mexican territory, when II was in pow
er, as compared with the purchase of
Alaska under Republican administra-
ton. Louisiana was purchased from
Spain in 1903, for Sl5,00O,O00, Florida
was purchased from Spain in 1919. for
so,UOO,OOO, and as the Democratic party
did not really come into power until
1929, when. Andrew Jackson was elected.
1t looks like fine display of gall to
attempt to make political capital out of
events so far removed from the present,

not because he lost his Presidency, but
his son. Henry Clay, Jr., was his
fathers idol. He was sent to West Point,
where he graduated second in his class.
After four months in the army he re-
signed, and began practicing law in Lex
ington, living with his father at Ash
land. Not young man in Kentucky
promised better things than he did.
When the Mexican war broke out he
was determined to go. His father made
no objection, and he went out as a lieu
tenant colonel of the First Kentucky
regiment, At the battle of Buena Vista,
Santa Anna, with $4,000 troops, nearly
overwhelmed Gen. Taylor, with about
one-eighth that number. Clay fought
hard, but, as his regiment was falling
back, shot went through both legs.
He was not mortally wounded. and
three men picked him up to carry him
off the field. 1t soon became evident
that the Mexicans would overtake them.
Save yourselves, boys, he said, and
taking the pistol which his father had
given him, he handed it to one of the
men with these words. Take this and
return it to my father. Tell him have
no futher use for it. With that they
dropped him and ran after the retreating
troops. The last. they saw of Clay he
was lying on his back, fighting a squad
of Mexicans with his sword. Next
morning his body was found, hacked to
pieces and mutIlated by the towards who
had killed him. The pistol came to his
father, then q. senator, and, though he
lived several years after, am convinced
that he died from the blow

Concerning Tac.


The noble creature man vet lacks one
or two points Of being perfect, and
among these may be counted rather
general absence Of tact. To most woH-
en- tact is Unborn; TO very few men Is It
even possible to acquire it.
The feminine mind, it is true, de-
lights overmueh, as general thing IN
crooked speech. Aneyasion is delight,
and white lie fearful JOY. Man, on
the contrary-man au naturel-is pain
fully blunt and honest. Il might al
most be said, indeed, that the very best
men cannot possess tact. 1t is an inn
possibility TO their natures. The habit
of thought before speech cannot be &C
quired. A hearty, genial college pro-
fessor, most Well-intentioned and tactless
of men, was requested by his wife to
entertain lady visitor until the hostess
herself had finished her toilet. De
scendiDg to the reception room, our pro-
fessor beamed upon the guest with a
smile whose kindly warmth must have
gone far to overcome the effects of the
wild storm which ragged outside. "a
terrible day, professor, began the lady,
with a pleasant smile "Indeed it is
madame" the honest gentleman rejoined ;
"a wild day. | was just saying to nay
wife that those who had homes to-day
better stay in them" A sudden rigidity
settled upon the countenance of the
lady, and the professor could not under
stand why she listened SO coldly to his
description of a new variety of fern
which he had recently discovered.
Rather worse than the professor was
a mild old pastor with small and pep
perry wife, So small she was that if she
wished to touch his toe at the dining Ia
bic, in conjugal warning, she was obliged
to slip far down in her chair, almost
disappearing from view. At the same
instant corresponding rise might be
observed in the pastor. He also be-
t-ayed himself by a hurried "Eh, my
dear? What?" Upon being admonished
that this would not do, he promised to
mend. Very soon brother clergyman
dined with him, and, absorbed in discus
sion of the lost tribes, he unconsciously
served to his guest nearly the whole
Of a dish of rare and early peas. At
this iuncture the wife sank almost from
view below the tables horizon. The
minister was like a reverend Jack-in-
the box, and began "Eh?' Then recol.
Letting instructions he subsidized, and
remarked blandly, 81 think they will
go round my dear" Either of these
men was capable of almost any noble
and heroic act, and it is, to be sure, not
vital failing, this want of tact.
Many things, however, which in them
selves are far enough from vital, do much
affect our lives and many a worried
woman would become placid, and many
home be free from unpleasant cOntre
tempts, if only the master could b.
gifted with a bit of that divine posses
sion, tact.

Why not Make Mississippi a Tobac-
co Growing State?
Aberdeen Examiner.

Aberdeen Examiner.
The Examiner has been laboring stall
wartly to "make Mississippi tobacco
growing State" in every one of the
nineteen years of its existence, and has
the satisfaction of knowing that its
efforts have had some success. The
greatest barrier to this achievement has
been the Internal Revenue laws that
have for years prohibited under heavy
penalties the sale of the leaf to any
but "a licensed dealer in leaf tobacco"
and we have not one in our State
and the prohibition against putting it
in any form but leaf without the pay
ment of manufacturer license. In every
year up to 1888 we succeeded i'll getting
some member of our delegation to intro
duce bill in Congress- for the repeal of
so much of the law as prohibited the
sale of leaf tobacco at retail or on the
farm by the producers; but these bills
were as regularly killed as introduced
Last year when the tariff bill was under
we got Senator George to
procure an amendment that would permit
the farmer to sell hundred dollars worth
Of leaf tobacco of his own production at
the place OI pEOuucIlOH; AT reIall, anu
our Senators and Representatives sue
ceeded by hard work in saving this
amendment from the general wreck in
the Conference Committee room, and it
has been of vast service to the farmers in
all the States.
Tobacco culture was the chief market
industry of Mississippi up to 1888, aud
we believe it will be again as soon as the
laws are so amended as absolutely to
free leaf tobacco from all revenue re-
strictions. Here in Monroe, and doubt
less in many other portions of the State,
it is to be found growing on almost every
plantation, and thousands of our PEG
pie make every pound they chew or
smoke. We had hoped that the Census
of 1880 would make grand exhibit of this
product, but the farmers with that con-
TENT for the so called ''small industries"
which is the curse of the cotton region,
failed to give it in, and only Tippah
aud Monroe counties made large reports
and neither of them-we Judge Tippah
by Monroe-reported a tenth part of the
yield
