The authorities at Washington are be-
coming aroused at the situation Of Affairs
in South America, aud are taking meas
ures to prevent such occurrence as that
reported at Colon, where Pacific steam
ship was seized and American citizens
imprisoned under the very guns Of Ga
lena, an American ma1-of-war under
command of ernmpdore Kane. Outra-
ges like these Icitizens could be,
and were, perpetrated under the Repub-
lican administration of our Government,
but an entire different policy will be sub
stituted by the Democratic administra-
ton of President Cleveland. The prompt
orders of the Secretary of the Navy, un-
der the advice Of the Secretary Of State,
to Admiral Jouctt. to proceed with the
Tennessee. the Swarta and Alliance to
Aspinwall. means business. and any fur-
ther insults to the American flag will be
resented aud punished In . way that will
not be forgotten by the offending parties.

. Grover Cleveland. the President OF the
United States took the oath Of Office, hol-
ling in his right hand a small we'll worn,

Gift of his mother when he left the shell

PARTY DISISTEGRATION.

PARTY DlSkNTEGRATION.
As result, following the war
between the North and the South,
the gradual disintegration of the
two great political parties of the
country may be claimed as a Sc
qucnt most significant for the COM
mon welfare of our country. The
great Republican party overwhel-
mingly dominant in the North du-
ring the war, In 1868 and 1872
commenced to gradually give
away in 1876. Party ties held them
with a slight tenure. N the cam
paign of 1884, party bias was too
weak to cement the Republican
support upon their party ticket.
Party fealty Ms looked fapon ~;..ss
Indifference, nay, even with re-
pugnance, by a minority so power
full as ito snap asundcr the ties
which had held it to the majority.
This minority was practical rather
than partisan, and in their action
considered the public good to be
paramount to party success. Such
action became possible when men
could sereneIy hear their party
criticised and could dispassionately
consider the criticism to which 1t
was subjected.
The Democratic party owes its
success to that practical element of
the people which calls loudly for a
pure code of principles and an in
corruptible list of officials No
one understands this demand of
the people, at large, better than
President Cleveland. His policy
Is so shaped that the best possible
men are made recipients os the of
fees within his gift; and from of
ficers thus chosen the country can
expect the best possible policy
from the administration. 1t is
only such a policy which admitted
the re-appointment of the post
master ut New York city, who is
known as Republican. He was
judged by pastrccord. 1t was good.
Democrats need not be afraid of a
good officer even if he be a Repub-
lican. Besides, this appointment
emphasized the Civil service policy
to which President Cleveland has
pledged himself. It gives the
country to understand that it il
men possessing the proper qualif-
cations who will be appointed to,
or retained in Office.
The effect of this policy will be
an obliteration of party lines. The
old time Democrat who believes
that to the victor belong the spoils
will adhere to his fossilized ideas
and principles. The Democrat in
accord with the policy of President
Cleveland will adopt the new po-
litical creed of political integrity
competency and qualification fol-
Office. These two elements in the
party will not act in harmony fol
it is not in their nature possible
for them to do SO; hence
a disiEtegration of the Dem.
ocratic party will follow. The re
form element in the patty can nc
moro unite with the moss-back
than the independent element Of
the Republican party can affiliate
with the radical branch of 'sthe
party of great moral ideas" !"
The new political party, if not
under new name, new in the in
ternal workings of the party. viii

who fulfill their duty and who worl
for the best interests of hepeople
Such is the party which we believe

Prudent buyers will find q great many
bargains or drives in our house now, and
the reason you will find them as bargains is
that we bought them so. Our stock now is
wonderfully complete from our regular pur-
chases ,andthe drives are superfluous except

want to sell Us goods, and they offer us

ways take and place on sale at reduction,
instead of holding them up to the old fig
ures and trying TO get more than fair
