heart-agony. Hear it:
-Four months have passed since Congress
met, and the country is as much in the dark
now as then concerning the meaning of a
Democratic victory.
"More than this, many of the hopes enter
tanned of the party have died out. Few of
the promises made in the convention have
been kept. Every indication points to ex-
travagant appropriations and a continuation
OF excessive taxation.
Prominent Democrats are found on each
side OF every proposition.
democrats advocate continuation of the
war tariff.
Democrats lead in the educational raid on
the Treasury.
Democrats insist on postal telegraph.
democrats oppose free ships.
democrats insist on the organization Of
postoffice savings banks, in order to give the
government control Of the savings of the peo-

democrats urge subsidies for innumerable

cess for the down trodden sugar-planters, and
unlimited appropriations for the Hennepin

IDENTIFY in deepest distress The Moses of
Democracy has been left behind somewhere
in the wilderness of secession and States
rights, and the faithful are without guides
The Courier-J ournal confesses as much, with
tears and lamentations. By the strange per-
versity of prejudice, the Courier-J ournal re-
fuses to understand Democracy, and to know
that that organization is never intelligent
never progressive, never patriotic. 1t can be
depended on to carry out no settled policy cal
culated to better the country, and. as the
Courier-Journal confesses for it, "few of its
promises made in the convention have been
kept 1t might have gone further, and said
that it was not intended that the pledges were
to be kept The country is reaping just what
it might have expected. Democracy is pecu-
liar in that it is the only political organization
that ever took satisfaction in lying to and
cheating itself. But how long are honest
Democrats going to submit to this kind of
double-dealing-of promising anything and
everything in convention, only to break all
promises on getting into powerf Can the
country be thus deceived again? Will the
Courier-Journal be candid and courageous
enough to maintain the stand it now takes
when another campaign is at handG We fear
not, for few Democratic papers are better
than the party they SO blindly champion.

SENATOR HARRISON is understood to be in
favor of open sessions for the consideration of
nominations to Office. In this the Senator is
in accord with the best sentiment of the

Though the story published in our last
issue about "Alvin Joslin" shooting his wife
at New Orleans was probably not true, the
following from the Victoria CoioRisf, II true,
would show that II would not be much be-
meath him
Charles l.. Davis, Electrically known as
Alvin Joslin, and whose guileless appear
ance on the stage conveys the impression
that nc Is public bencfactor, after the first
act made a violent assault on his wife with
his fists. She fed 10 one Of the dressing
rooms and hid away from his wrath After
a great deal of coaxing the wife emerged
from her hiding place and the play proceed.
cd. About o'clock in the morning, while
the company were packing up their effects,
hostlities broke out again. Davis struck
his wife and she fed screaming 10 the rear,
where she locked herself In. Davis ragged
and fumed and swore about the closet and
at last kicked in the door, and but for the
presence of policeman who had been sent
for, the woman would have been roughly
handled. The company departed on the
Sound steamer at ago O'Clock, leaving
bill for breakage for the lessee to liquidate.

a wna s.ery.

The story was recently circulated that
John Mackenzie, who was lost four or five
wears ago in the mountains had been seen
by two young men Of Lebanon In the Cas-
cade mountains around "Bald Peter" where
ne was living like wild man, his hair
having grown several inches on his naked
body, his food being raw meat, taken with
the blood. So little credence has been
placed In the tale by the people around
Lebanon that no effort has been made, we
are informed, to trace the matter up, and
people there generally believe the widest
part Of the whole matter Is the story Itself
Many communities have their era of wild
man sensations, but few OF them, though,
ever turn out to be the genuine article.
Depend on II, John Mackenzie Is not now
around "Bald Peter in any form,
wild or tame.

and where they are not wanted generally.

tramp nuisance. There is nothing like
taking an early start. Tramps have run
