BRAZEN EFFRoNTEREY.

And Marion Martin constitutes himself
an authority upon democracy. He oracu-
larry gives it forth to the people he would
cajole, and he trusts through them to the
world at Large, that there are no real
democrats in congress; that Cleveland is
no demossai." So no And who is this
weigher sad classifer of Jeffersonisn
democracy: L he democrat, or is he
simply a Marion Martin man: In times
past democrat for place and power,
he is to-day a traitor TO democracy
for pelf and se!f-glorifcation. It
is his stripe who srrogate to
themselves the purity and the RICH. to
Judge of the motives of others. 1t is the
guilty man who is suspicious. 1t is the
designing man who impugns motives.
Could not Cleveland and the representa-
tives of democracy in congress better al
ford to abide such attacks than Marion
Martin could dare essay TO cast such re-
proaches, then, indeed, would there be need
of democrats hiding their faces for shame,
and, for the sake of the everlasting princi-
Piles of the glorious party they represent,
forever denying their connection with it.
The guilty man has cast the first stone.

Artificial Flowers,

From the Philadelphia Press.
Artificial flowers were first invented by
pious huns. In the Italian converts the
affairs and shrines were, up 20 tire
eighteenth century, decorated with arti-
fetal flowers, laborIously put together of
paper parchment and other stiff materials.
Since then the Italian flowers which are
made in Venetian factories of the i'm
perfect cocoons of sllkworms, have be-
come famous for their daintiness, which
makes them particularly suitable for
toilet decorations. 1 have been over one

The factory is situated in one of the gray
old houses of the Frezzaria, and several
hundred girls are occupied in it.

CONQUEST IN THE SOUTH SEAS

The battle between the French and ma.
tives of the Marquesss group, alluded to
10 the dispatches in this issue is but
another indication of how swiftly Polyne'
STA is being gobbled by the great powers
The English possessions in that quarter
already amount to vast power, built up
within the last seventy-five years
and still expanding. Germany,
for commercial and other purposes
is gradually acquiring the nucleus of a
future political system, and France, for
the same reason, is, as at the Marquesas,
raising her flag on every island that
promises support for respectable popu-
lation. Other European countries are
pursuing a similar policy. These gov
ernments are looking into futurity, and
the United States should do the same
thing, nor wait till all the fine tropical
islands of the South Pacific are in
the . hands of European powers.
Manifest destiny points to the eventual
consolidation of Mexico and Central
America with the United States, perhaps
within the next century, and few
way stations in the mighty south seas,
between our western, coasts and China,
would be a great adjunct to the power
and marine supremacy of the great re-
public of North America.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The republican committee of thirty
one, appointed last May by a republican
convention to select standard-bearers for
that party for this state contest, hesitated
to discharge that duty and referred the
matter back to another republican state
convention that adjourned Friday in Fort
Worth. That committee thought it mex.
pedient for them to make a selection OF
candidates, that duty and privilege SEEM
ing of right to belong to a
convention. But the convention,
when assembled, was found ia
be irreconcilably divided on the subject of
putting a state ticket in the field, so that
though the question was decided against
ticket, the minority is now so bitter that
the object of that action, namely the in
tended endorsement of Marion Martin
who represents every political element
outside the republican party opposed to
democracy, will be defeated. The result
Of the convention work was victory fol
the colored side of the convention, as led
by the only Quincy. Colonel DeGresa
was the valiant leader of the
minority bent upon naming a
state ticket. But Quincy and
his following were determined on helping
the national bloody shirt campaign that
theyWould have inaugurated. 1t was their
idea to have it go forth to the union that
fear for the colored mans safety in the
state dictated the conventions timorou:
policy. In the light of the fact that tn,
ablest members of the republican party
of the state wholly and empheticslly repu
date such an assertion or prete1t that mel

HAD southern negro republicans been
attacked and msltrested as were the
northern negro democrats who lately took
part in street procession in NewYork city,
the republican press of the nation would
have gone wild with indignation-and the

shoe was decidedly on the other foot, and

Tnere have been sage words writer
concerning a house divided against itself

SHoRS of all side issues and presented
in plain, blunt way, the situation is we'll
put in the following from the Philadelphia
Record "There is scarcely prominent
republican, living or dead, who, during
the twenty years from 1865 to 1885, when
that party was mainly responsible for the
fiscal policy of the government, did not
commit himself in favor of tariff reduc
ton and against the repeal of the tax on
whisky and tobacco. 1t is only since the
people of the United States, in their wis
dom have devolved the res possibility of
revenue legislation upon the democratic
party that republican leaders have
changed their minds. DiYested of the
responsibility of originating measures of
tax reduction, they seem also to have d.
vested themselves of the patriotic desire
to give the people honest and economical
administration. They do not even stand
up to the pledges made in their plat
form" Cutting away from their past
record, the republicans do not even now

tacle is presented Of party split on lis

utterances Of its chief leaders, concerning
