The Democratic party Is just now en-
gagged in battling for tho public rights.
If ever there was righteous cause, If
ever there was need of betterment in
the social condition of the masses, that
time has come now. And the demo-
cratic party, in its advocacy of tariff re-
form principles is championing the
cause of those who are themselves fight
ing monopolies and capital The Re
publican party has long been the party
of the rich man. 1t has long been
friendly to the money power of the
land. 1t has the assurance that comes
from long association with the men who
regard money as right and might.
Every ring that was ever organized in
Congress was under the protection of
the Republican party. The most COR
rupt jubs in the history of the nation
were Matched during the years that the
Republican party was in power. Claim
agents and lobbyists reaped their golden
harvest. Subsidy after subsidy
was given to rich corporations.
Every one had his hand in the public
crib and managed to get something.
Trusts have been fostered until they are
now giants in strength. All this is the
work of the Republican party. 1t is
time for the people to assert their own
rights. ts.-Detroit Free Press.

Mr.. Nickerson hastily climbed a
tree, taking his gun with him but
had assembled only some six or eight
feet when bruin caught him by the
pantleg and tried TO pull him to the
ground. The pants gave way. The
beor then seized his shoe and pulled
il from his foot, carrying it to the
ground. Bruins next trip up the
tree was more successful, and this
time he carried down one of Mr..
Nickerson's stockings, also one ofhis
toes, badly decorating two more.
MIR. Nickerson had now got in a
position to use his gun, and rs the
savage beast was ascending the tree

dog hanging to his flank he coolly
waited until the muzzle of his gun was
within a foot of the animals head.
He then quickly gave him the small
partridge charge which the gun con-
tanned. 1t caused him to beat has

was truly thankful.

amounted to eighty cents each.
When he reached Colonel Wade that
genial "bald knobber' remarked liz
his innocent way:
"Do you charge preachers the full;

"No, sir" was the conductors
reply. "We only charge them hal.
rates. Are you a preacher" he ad.
ded, looking squarely at the Colonel's
Methodistic countenance.
''No, lam not, said the Missourian
"but that gentleman is '(pointing tc
Judge Sawyer, who sat a couple o:
seats in front of him).
The conductor at once returned to
the Judge, and, after a searching
glance at the sun-kissed countenance
of the New York statesman, prof
fered him forty cents with the remark.
"We only collect half rates from
preachers"
''Who in the blank said / was
preacher" asked the judge with con-
siderable show of anger.
The conductor threw his thumb
back over his shoulder in the direct

though he had thought all the time
that the Colonel was garbling the
facts in the case.

From Science.

From Science.
In the universe everything Ia
changing and everything is in motion,
for motion itself is the first condition
of vitality. The firm ground, long
thought to be immovable, is subject
to incessant motion; the very noun
tains rise or sink; not only do tho
winds and ocean currents circulate
around the planet, but the conti-
nents themselves, with their SUBMITS
and valleys, are changing their places
and slowly travelling round the circle
of the globe. In order to explain all
these geological phenomena it is no
longer necessary to imagine altera-
lions in the earth's axis, ruptures of
the solid crust or gigantic subtera-
mean downfall. This is not the mode In
IN which nature generally proceeds;
she is more calm and more regular in
her operations, and, chary of her
might, brings about changes of the
grandest character without even the
knowledge of the beings that she
nourishes. She upheaves mountains
and dries up seas without disturbing
the fight of the gnat. Some revolu-
ton which appears to us to have
been produced by a mighty cataclysn,
his, perhaps, taken thousands of
years to accomplish.

a new clock and put it carelessly ON

rang out ten O'Clock. They paid no
attention, but seemed TO put their
heads closer together, when five
