THE CRY ASSESSMENT.

The assessment of the city OF Seattle

which every citizen may feel proud, and

made the assessments of each OF the

Heyuocrpts. BE True!

Stand to your colors. The hope Of the
country to-day is the Democratic party.
There is no question about that. Its prin-
ciples embrace remedies for all the ills OF
which we now complain, and on It's sue
cess depends the welfare OF the whole peO-
pie. Democrats should stand firm. BE
not deceived by false theories and new de-
vices. Let not personal considerations
swerve you from the path Of duty. The
Democratic party is the only true national
party.
viii any Democrat now desert the prin-
ciples he has so long maintained, when
success is so near at hand
Will any Democrat, who has been raised
from the "ceIlar OF dependency to the
attic OF ecstacy," now desert the ark OF
Democracy, as it rides over the troubled
waters OF selishness, and the doves are
returning with the oliye-branchcs OF VIC
tory?
Will every Democrat now lend his aid
in attaining the consummation so devoutly
wished fOr-viz., return to honest Demo-
cratic principles in the administration OF
the Government in all its departments |?
Through its restoration to supremacy
prosperity may eventually come. This is
something to think Of seriously before

Curious Paragraphs.

Stradivarius fixed upon the peculiar
scroll-shaped incisions in the bridge OF the
violin, after long experimentation into that
form OF bridge, sound-poSt, and so on.
which should produce the most nearly
perfect instrument, but the reasons for his
decision were never known. II has now
been suggested by member OF the Royal
Society OF Great Britain (Mr. Huggins) that
the value Of these missions (Which most
persons have considered as merely orna-
mentally lies in the fact that they sift the
vibrations communicated TO the bridge by
the strings, allowing those only, or manly,
to pass TO the feet which would be efficient

OF the instrument.
The head OF a Chicago dry-goods house
tells this story OF high life in that city
"When the opera came | noticed there
were two or three expensive lace sbawls
sent home on appreciation and returned
the morning after the performance. This
set me thinking, and when Mrs. b. came
in the day OF an opera night and asked to
have one Of the most expensive wraps sent
home TO look at, just stepped out to old
Swag's. the ticket-specuator, and bought
seats immediately behind those Of Mr.. and
Mrs. b. When l came ina little Late
there was Mrs. b. seated in front of me
with the elegant lace wrap sent home in
the morning over her shoulders. When
she turned i greeted here politely, and
said / was delighted the wrap had suited
her. She looked rather unhappy during
the performance. but the shawl was not
returned TO the store. and / charged my
opera-ticket to expe nse account"
The snake-story season, it must be con-
fessed, is very backward. So far none OF
the baek-country liars have done any busl-
ness worthy Of the cake. The ancients,
according to their benighted lights, were
much more satisfactory. Sir Bevis of Hamp-
ton, st. Michael, st. George, and other
knights and saints, all killed dragons. In
the age Of Queen Elizabeth the monster
was so feet long from shoulder to tail, with
glttering scales as bright as silver, but
tougher than brass, except just under the
wing. where, according TO "Percy's Re
liques," st. George sent bis good sword
Ascalon clear up to the hilt. Liyy speaks
Of one that stopped the progress Of the
whole Roman army, and Diodorous tells OF
one captured in Africa that was 60 feet
long. The hydra was another terrible SER
pent that Hercules killed, which had seven,
nine, and fifty heads, according te the plea
sure OF the poet. and when one was cut off
another sprouted, like the starfish's legs.

To endorse the Ohio platform is TO en-
dorse the course OF the Democrats OF that
State which did not result in tlat and alb
surd failure. 1t is to endorse policy which
rescued Ohio from Republican mlsrule. 1t
is to endorse the Democracy OF New Jer-
sey in the adoption OF platform which
rescued that State also from Republican
misrue. 1t is to endorse the course Of the
Democracy OF Virginia in the adoption OF
a course which resulted in the overthrow
Of Mahoneism, and ii is to endorse the De-
mocracy Of Pennsylvania. In word, it
would be to adopt a course which would
strengthen the Democratic line OF battle

How does the Dispatch like this bunch
OF violets: Bo,ces. Li66g, Hooper, John
y. Wise, George ID. Wiser They voted
right along together TO defeat the Morrison
Pulaski People.
Ask the members Of the Virginia Demo-
cratic State Convention, who on Wednesday
night last after GEORGE d. WISE had been
lauded for that vote by Mr.. CAhM PATE
SON, forthwith called for him so v0cife-
rously that he had to come forward and
make speech before they would allow the
question before the Convention to be dis
cussed. We must add that Mr.. BARBOUR
also was overwhelmed with applause.
What do these facts prove? They prove
that the Democrats OF Virginia recognize
the right OF their congressman to vote as
they choose on tariff questions In word
that there are more important questions
before the voters OF Virginia.
II the Peoples editor had been in Rich
mond and heard the speech Of the repre-.
sentative man Of the Southwest, the Hon
WALLER II. STAPLES, his eloquencc and
power would surely have convinced the
editor that the MORRISON tariff is mere
hobby, and not at all the important thing
that some persons suppose 1t to be.
AS to the Chicago Convention, and the
intimation, coming from different quar-
tiers, that 1t will be differently constituted
from the House Of Representatives, we
need only make this remark: that all the
Democratic congressman from Virginia
who voted against striking out the enact
ing clause Of the MORRISON bin would II
they were members Of the Chicago Con.
vention also vote against making an issue
on that or any similar measure. II Mr..
