COURAGE.
From the N. Y. World

From the N. Y. World
The World does not share the gloomy
forbodings of faint-hearted democrats
who believe that their party is doomed
TO another long period of exclusion
from power. On the contrary, it holds
that the prospect of democratic success
in the next general election is bright
enough to inspire the party with con-
fident courage and high hope.
How different the situation from
what it was after the defeat in 1921
Then the democratic candidates secur-
ed but forty-two electoral votes. The
party was not only badly beaten, put
utterly demoralized. The enemies of
democracy brilliantly proclaimed that
the historic old party was dead, and
some of its friends were halt disposed
to concede the claim. But in the very
next contest, with a candidate truly
representing the party and a platform
boldly proclaiming its principles, 1t
carried the country. and was only
cheated of its victory by fraud and
jngglery.
In the late election the democratic
candidate for president was defeated by
the mere lack of a few thousand votes
in this state, mainly due to his W
mistakes and failures. But, the demo-
cratic party carried New York, the
pivotal state, tor all Of its state candi-
dates. 1t retained New Jersey and
Connecticut, typical manufacturing
states, and gained in nearly all the
manufacturing centers of the country.
Indiana was lost by the administration
influence which caused Gov. Gray 10 be
set aside as a candidate for vice.
president, and by the most wholesale
and infamous use of money that ever
disgraced an election in this country.
None of the errors that cost the party
SO dearly this year are likely to be
repeated In 1892. The tariff issue will
be made plain to the farmers by that
time, as il already has been TO the
workmen in manufactures. The ALI
ance which Gen. Harrison will seek in
the south and the division of voters
there upon the tariff issue will Danish
the other bugaboo upon which the
republicans have relied. The rural
republican m~ossbacks will not vote
again, as they have just done, against
the "Southern Brigadiers." That
spook will be laid long before the next
presidential election.
The democratic party will be called
back to power to reform the tariff, TO
restore economical government, to
throw off the domination of q pluto
cracy in politics and to throttle trusts
and curb the growing greed of monop-
olies. The republican party a do
non of these things. 1t is the servant
of the evil forces which must be over
thrown. 1t represents and defends
the abuses which the people demand
shall be reformed. The democracy has
not been better united In twenty-five
years than it Is to-day. Nor has it
within that time stood for sounder
principles or a more popular policy
than 1t now represents. II has only to
keep united and TO stand firm, TO win
in "four years more" the victory which
bad management has just lost.

AN APT CITIZEN.

From the Mexico Missouri Intelligercer.
Emil Sommers, wife and son, aged
9 years, arrived in town to-day, having
walked all the way from Evansville,
Indiana. They started from Newark
N. D., but had only enough money to
take them TO Evansville. Sommers
came to this country from Saxony less
than six months ago. Although it
requires a years residence here to be-
come naturallzed, Sommers experienced
trouble in voting the republican
ticket in New York. Sommers' desti-
nation is Glasgow near which place he
expects to put in the winter on a farm.
About 2 O'Clock the party set ont atoot,

CAUGHT A WILD CAT.
From the Nevada MALL

John Wardin and a Young friend
were coon hunting in the Marmaton
bottom Saturday. After catching a
coon, the dogs again freed. When the
tree was reached a large animal jumped
out and was again freed about 200
yards away. A second time it escaped
to the ground, but after a short chase,
the dogs caught it. The animal proved
to be a very large wild cat and the fight
with the dogs was pronounced by the
boys immense. After a hard struggle
the dogs were the v%ictOrs, but at a
severe sacrifice of hide and hair. The
skin of the wild cat was taken as q
trophy of the battle. In the excite
ment one of the boys lost his coat and
was compelled to spend a considerable
portion of the Sabbath hunting it.

CLUES FOR MANY PURPOSES.
IFrom the Jewellers, Re,Iew.l


Soak half a pound OF glue over night
in q quart of good milk, and boil it the
next day; it will dissolve moisture
much better than glue dissolved in
water.
An adhesive mucilage for labels,
suitable for bottles or glass, may be
prepared by soaking glne in strong
vinegar; then heat to boiling and add
-four. This is very adhesive and does
not decompose when kept IN wide
mouthed bottles.
The following preparation is very
useful for cumming large sheets of
paper, which may be kept on hand
ready for use; when wetted they will
stick well on glass: Starch,F two

YES, BUT WILL HEP
From the Richmond Democrat


Gen. Harrison is a safe, conservative
man, and il he does not give way to
counsels of visionary and INSCRIPTIONS
men like Blaine, will no doubt give US
a conservative administration, much
after the order of that of President
Cleveland. That he is a cold, calculating
aristocrat, who believes that he is bet
ter by birth than the ordinary Ameri-
can citizen, has been pretty well
established ,.but that will not prevent
him from being honest and censerva-
tive in office, il left alone to dictate
his own policy. The only danger is
that he may fall under the influence of
the worst element among his friends.
Mr.. Blaine is a dangerous man and if
he is in the cabinet you may look out
for a reckless administration full of
extravaganza and we might say even
worse a lack of honesty.

Flames.


IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich. Dec. IS.-A
fire started about 80 clock this morn
ing, in the general merchandise store of
Silyerman, Davis & Levy. Efforts to ex-
tlnguish 1t proved unavaiIing, and fam
ed by strong north wind the flames
spread with great rapidlty. The two
fire engines responded promptly at
the first summons, but the blaze
had already gained too great a head
way and the most strenuous en-.
deavOrs to control it were unsuccessful.
At 2:40 the fire had become a confagra-
ton. The whole square in which Sill
yerman, Davis d Leyy's store was To-
Gated had been laid in ashes, and the
flames were still sweeping onward At
this writing, 3 a. NJ, it looks as though
the greater part OF the cITy was doomed
to destruction. 1t is built chiefly OF
wooden houses, and as the wind is blow
ing almost a gale, 1t is apparently i'm
possible to check the flames.
IRON MOUNTAIN, Mich, Dec. IS.-Fire
broke out in Silverman, Davis & Levy's
store, on Stephenson Avenue, about !
o clock this morning, and rapidly spread
until thirteen buildings, besides stables,
Outhouses, etc, were laid in ashes. The
section burned over was closely built up
ike tinder There was some DELAY in
giving the alarm so that when the
engines were on the ground Grenfell' g
and Silyerman, Davis & Levy's stores,
both under one roof, were mass OF
flames. From this point the ire spread
north and south until Its destructive
course was stayed on the south by Tull-
gren's brick building, and on the north
by the railroad tracks and wide open
space. The total loss is estimated at
from so, GOO to S75 900. Following is a

HOW CANADA FEELS.
Opinions Butterworth's Annexation
Resolutions.


Resolutions.
TORONTO, Ont, Dec. l4.-Commenting
on the Butterworth resolution, the EN-
pire, the leading government organ,
calls it an insulting overture and says it
is the leaders of the Canadian opposi-
ton who have by their conduct and
their words of sympathy invited this
insult to their country.
The Globe (opposition) says: zone
thing can be said for Mr.. Butterworth' s
curious proposal. Its adoption by Con-
gress would probably lead to thorough
exposition and understanding of Cana
dian opinion as to the project of polit-
Ical union with the United States. We
have no doubt that the judgment of
Canadians in the matter would be such
as to cure our neighbors of a delusion." !"
MONTREAL, One, Dec. 1.-THE publi
cation here OF the resolution introduced
by Mr.. Butterworth has had startling
effect. Everybody is discussing it and
everybody is looking forward anxiously
as to what course the Senate and House
of Representatives Will pursue. Never
since the famous annexation manifesto
of fifty years ago has there been such
an expression of public feeling as dur
ing the past two months. "Annexa-
ton" is almost the sole topic in politi-
cal circles. But it was regarded as sim
ply growing issue and not one to be
Immediately dealt with.
OTTAWA, Ont, Dec. 14.-Regarding
Congressman Butterworth's annexation
resolution, the text of which was pub
lished mere, Mr.. Bowel, minister of
customs, said last night that sit was the
greatest rot ever propounded by man
I
statesman"
New YORK, Dec. 14.-Erastus Wiman
says he thinks Butterworth's 8 resolutions
are serious mistake.
