GENUINE DEMOCRACY
A Party whose Record Is as black Il,
Day as IL Was In 1891.


Day as It Was In 1891
1t is getting 10 be time that the
question should be asked why such
men as MIR Voorhees, are thrust for
ward, as the chosen and most highly
honored representatives of a party
which pretends to be thoroughly loyal.
The history of Voorhees, is not now
made public for the first time. Ii was
familiar TO loyal men when some who
are now voters were not vet born. Is
that the explanation? Are the LOYAL sons
of loyal fathers so ignorant of all the
past that they select this Indiana DEM
agogue as their ideal statesman, not
knowing what he was? Strange that
they contrive so often to pick out men
of the same nature. Was Mr.. Turpie.
the other Senator from Indiana, ever
among the defenders Of his countryp
When Mr.. Cleveland selects as his pat
tern Democrat, for some post Of high
honor. a man whose chief merit is that
he was virulent copperhead during
the war, is anybody surprisedp For
that NATTER was Mr.. Cleveland him
self more Jealous for the Union cause
than Mr.. Voorhees,
1t is right that party should select
its representative men for places of
trust and honor. In that way only
the country comes to know what sort
of men do best represent the party,
in its own opinion. The Southern
Democracy makes no bones about it;
first of all. the few rebels who never
stopped to ask pardon are chosen for
honor, and then the Confederate Off
GERS, and never the men who did not
sympathiZe with rebellion. The De-
mocracy of the North has been illus
trating itself in the same way. Ii pre-
tends to have been and nov 70 be
a loyal party. II carefully picks out
for places of trust and honor the men
who were trying to make the war a
failure when Sheridan was riding down
from Winchester
How did these Democratic politicians
come to be copperheads? The habit
of licking the boots of Southern mas
tiers accounts for something. But
they needed support then. as they
do now. Ignominious and contempt
IDLE, every one of them would have
been during the war, and would have
remained to this day, if the Demo-
cratic party had ever been loyal at
heart, as it pretends to be. Its SYM
patty with rebellion was shown when
the war was in progress by putting
forward and voting for Voorhees,,
Vallandigham and others of that
stamp. 1t is shown now when the
same party. having ADLER and better
men by FAR in its ranks, keeps these
ancient copperheads in places of trust.
or goes with Mr. Cleveland to search
political graveyards for them, in or
der to reward them for their genuine
and unauthorized Democracy L.

MANS DAILY FOOD.
How Much the Average Mortal Eats In
Seventy ears

How Much the Average Mortal Eats In
Seventy Years
II has been calculated that on an
average each man who attains the age
of three score and ten. consumes dur
ing the course of his life 20 wagon
loads of food, solid and liquid. At
four tons to the wagon. this would
correspond to an average of 100
ounces of food per day, or say f20
ounces per day during adult life. and
about so ounces during infancy and
youth. Most modern doctors agree in
regarding 120 ounces of foo perday,
corresponding To five or six half pints
of liquid food. and seven or eight
pounds of sOlid food as i'm excess of the
daily requirements of a healthy man or
woman Yet probably most of us
take more than this. i'm one way or
another during the day. Dr. Lam
kester from an extensive analysis
Of the dietary of soldiers. sailors.
prisoners and the better paid classes
of artisans and professional men in
London. found the average daily
quantity Of solid and liquid food to be
143 ounces Doubtless many lake
much less. but unquesiiOnably many
take much more than this. When
some one mentioned before Sydney
Smith the 20 wagon-loads of food cal
culaioi for each mans allowance. he
turned to Lord Durham, who, like
himself was carpulent (and not with
out sufficient reason). with the quaint
remark: Il think our wagons. Dur
ham. must be four-horse ones" There
are members of the London corpora
tions, TO seek no farther. whose
wagons must be six-horsed ones. and
well loaded at that. - Richard A. Proc

After ridiculiug wounded veterans
in his pension vetoes and going fish

Cleveland made discovery. What
he discovered was the fact that there
are not only great many veterans
left in this country, but also a large
number of other citizens who ardently
sympatize with them. and whose mex.
tinguishable debt of gratitude to them
for their sufferings for the country's
preservation makes them keenly feel
and promptly resent any slight or in.
suit inflicted on them.
Mr. Cleveland has gotten these facts
through his epidermis, and as this is
Presidential year and he wants to be
reelected, he is going TO cultivate the
veterans. He has consented to review
