WHY Not Organizer

II Is very singular that the democrats
If th;s state will stand idly by evinclDg
no interest. while the republicans are
getting up their clubs and perfecting
fhoir organization in all of the counties.
Months ago the Lincoln club vas organ
lied in this city and has held its regular
meetings, while no counter movement
has been made. The time to induce men
to listen to argument is before they are
committed. When they become mem
bers OF an association prejudice takes the
place of reason, and all that IS written or
printed in relation to the principles OF
parties has hut little avail.
The next election will Ike the most i'm
portant of any that has been held since
the foundation Of the government. II
will decide whether the American people
intend to be ruled by majority of the
voters or whether it shall sink into an
oligarchy such as obtains in the South
American republics where few families
assume the entire control Of affairs. 1t
Is fast gravitating in that direction and
nothing but decided stand npon the
part Of the people in the direction of
popular rights will put stop to the ten :
dency in the direction of aristocratic rule.
1t is the duty OF those who assume to
lead the party to at once organize 1t or
take back seat. If they wish to be re-
garded as leaders let them do something
to show that they are representative men
something to benefit their party. Moth
ing good is accomplished without labor.
An indolent man is no fit leader, and that
very attribute seems to have taken pos
session of those who are expected to
show themselves in the advance at the
present time. 1t will be but few
months before many of those men will
want Office, and then they will be found
sufficiently active. A little work now
will 90 great deal further than great
deal a year hence. It is time for some
persons to wake up.-Idaho Democrat.
The foregoing relates to sub
ject that should be agitated by the
democratic press. We are on the
heels of state and national cleo
ton. Democrats either believe in
democracy, or do not. If they be-
lieve in it they should be Jealous
for it's success, as republicans are
for the success Of republicanism
if they do not believe in it they
should abandon it and try to find
some measures or principles they
can espouse. Patriotism demands
of every man some act for his coun-
try's good. We believe in democ-
racy. We believe in it because we
believe it more nearly right than
republicanism. We believe the dem
ocrats of this state and nation can
win at the approaching election |;
believing this, we believe they
should organize and go to work for
victory, and work unfalteringly and
necessarily until it is achieved.
Because we believe these things we
have copied the above, to see if any
other democrat or democratic pub
Usher in the state believes as we do,
and is willing to come to the front
and make a public confession of
his faith. The state central COM
mittee are doing nothing.

The highest of all arts is to know
how to enjoy little and endure much,
but very few ever attain to this
knowledge.
THE discovery of what is true and
the practice of what is good are the
most difficult problems as they
should be the most cherished OBJ
jects of life.
No ONE can rightly infer from the
acts of another what that others
will or motive is, because act and
will are very often at variance, even
opposed to each other.
He who is content with 4 little
is much wiser and better, though he
live and die in obscurity and need,
than is he who surrounded by all Of
the pomp and eewgaws of wealth
and fashion, makes his life the
cherries slave of gain.

Disgraced 10y an Alien.

1t begins to look very much as if
our minister to Chilli, Mr.. Patrick
Egan, had been guilty of conduct
Of such questionable propriety as to
be disgrace to the government he
represented. A politician by trade,
Mr.. Egan came to this country
shortly after the murder of Burke
and Cavendish at Dublin, under
suspicion, and before he had taken
out his naturalization papers or
had had time to learn anything OF
the nature and spirit of our laws
and institutions, he took the stump
for James G. Blaine. For this great
public service President Harrison,
through the influence of Mr.. Blaine,
no doubt, made him minister to
Chill. The revolution in that coun-
try came on, and the refugee from
alleged British oppression and tyr
amy at once began to make him.
self superserviceably officious on
behalf of the bloodisst tyrant that
disgraces modern history; and he
is now openly charged with having
received money brides for this in.
famous service. The credit of the
American name would seem to re.
quire the precaution of deferrine
the promotion to honorable stations
of brawl-mouthed political adven
turers who, like Mr. Egan, neither
bring a character with them to this
country nor leave one at home
until they have earned such recog.
milton by proven patriotism anc
uprightness of life.
It is true that Mr.. Fgan was {
citizen of the United States before
he was our minister to Chill; bu
it is also true that he was the asso
ciate of Alexander Sullivan of Chi
cago, and that he was besmirchee
with accusations of dishonest rail
! road deals in South America, anc
that he was a politician before h,
was a citizen. Such a record Ger
tainly ought to have precluded hin
from appointment to so HONORABLE,
a position as that of foreign minis
ter, and must have done so excep

recall has come none too soon.

Substitution,

For six weeks the KEYSTONE office
has been flooded with pamphlets
and marked copies of newspapers
bewailing the practice of "substitu-
tion," The assertion is made that
retail druggists are extensively CIV
en- to substituting remedies of their
own preparation for the countless
Infallibles put up and advertised
over the country by DR.. Killemall
and crowd. That there are drug
eists who do this cannot be doubted.
There are rogues in all trades; but
considerable experience in the re-
tail drug business has made US &C
quainted with great numbers OF the
craft, and we say it without fear of
successful contradiction that the
charge that any considerable num-
Der of them defraud or deceive their
customers in any way Is false pre-
tense; and the men who are guilty
of it's wide publication must be very
easily imposed upon or not given
to very deep thought.
We know American druggists are
taught to be honest and honorable.
AS a class, it is our firm conviction
that they are quite as reliable as
any other business men. Yet what
would be thought of fifty or more
leading papers which would assail
the grocery or dry goods merchants
of the country as swindlers? Would
not the whole community deride
them and their assertion? Every
body knows they would. How then
do these publishers hope to make
that same public believe retail drug
gists, as a class, are rogues? If re-
tail druggists are frauds, why not
wholesale druggists. A wholesale
druggist is generally a retail drug
gist who has prospcred until his
means have enabled him to become
wholesaler. Therefore, the Journ.
alist to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, we must regard the whole thing
as shrewd advertising scheme.
Whether we are correct in this or
not we know it does advertise their
medicines" and by advertising
the superior honesty Of the parties
complaining, leads the gullible pub
lie to regard their remedies (?) as
more efficacious and trustworthy
than the things substituted by the
druggist would be. Of course the
offense does not lie in the worth or
worthlessness of the article substi-
tuted, but in the deception prac-
ticed, which we do not defend, but
we do defend the retail druggists
against the unjust charge, and feel
very much like taking the editors
who are publishing the stale stuff
aside and whispering to them our
suspicion that they are swallow
ing gudgeon bait. But while his
brethren of the press have been
fighting MIR. A. Frank Richardson
substitution windmill with what
appears to us great deal more zeal
than prudence, that gentleman has
doubtless been reaping the profits
of his free advertising, for whether
Intentionally OF not, none will deny
that Mr.. Richardson has been given
exceeding prominence by this sub
stitution business, and the man who
shrewdly advertises himself adopts
policy quite as wise as does he
who shrewdly advertises his bust
ness. Notoriety is the point to be
gained, and the man who succeeds
in inducing the most of his fellows
to blow his horn for him gets the
notoriety.

SHE LIVED BY HER WITS.
How q shrewd shopIifter Utilized Tame
Rat Successfully.

"There have been many extraordinary
stories told of the ingenuity of thieves IN
the pursuit of their nefarious calling. but
n case which occurred while was at Chat
ham recently beats anything ever heard, F."
remarked q newly-arrived Englishman to
a Philadelphia Inquirer man.
"A girl was brought before the police
court on the charge of robbing milliners'
shops. She was only fourteen years OF age
and of very innocent appearance. what
puzzled the magistrate was that none OF
the witnesses ever saw her take anything,
or at least they would not swear to 1t, al
though after she had left shop where she
had been making purchase articles OF
value were missed.
When arrested nothing was found upon
her. The magistrate said he could not
convict the girl on mere suspicion, and
then began to cross-examine her himself
in kind, fatherly way, which touched
her heart, and she broke down and con:
fessed that she was guilty, and explained
her methods to the establishment and
amusement Of the Court and spectators.
1T seems that she had tame white rat,
which she carried about with her in muf:
She would enter shop full of girls and
women and ask the price of some article,
and while looking at II contrive TO drop
the rodent on the floor. :,
Any one can imagine the result. Those
near the door dashed into the street, while
the employees jumped on the counters and
chairs, wrapping their petticoats tight
around their ankles. and screamed like
mad as the prisoner expressed 1t, amid
the laughter of the court, in spite OF the
assurances that the rat was quite tame.
"In the scrimmage she would quietly
helm herself TO what she wanted-catch
the rat. put it in her muif, apologize. and
walk of. The Magistrate said that on &C
count of her youth, and as she had volan::
tsrily confessed TO the thefts he would
give her one more chance, and bound her
