Charleston News and Courier: We
hope that Mr. Crisp will be able to es-
cape from his political environment.
He must do it, or he will wreck the par
ty. There is no other issue upon which
~the Democracy can achieve victory next
wear but the issue of tariff reform.
CONGRESSMAN Springer is confident
that the defeat Of Mills will have no ef-
feet on the paramount issues next
wear. The paramount issue" has re-
ceived two black eyes since November
!, and if the Democrats are willing to
send it into the ring again in that condl-
ton they should have the attention OF
the Society for Prevention of Cruelty TO
Animals.
Buffalo Courier (Dem.): The Presi-
dents observations upon the political
gerrvmander are Just and commcnda-
bic. They are drawn out by the return
of Michigan to the district system OF
choosing presidential electors, which, a
couple of generations ago, was the prac-
tice in several states. This change,
made by the Democratic legislature Of
Michigan, the Courier has heretofore
strongly censured.
"Inyestigate :" is going to be the Dem
ocratic watchword at Washington this
winter. Fortunately, the Republicans
| have no reason to dread the turning of
/ the lights upon their record. But
| Democratic investigation is the furthest
possible remove from impartial inquiry.

sole object will be the accumulation OF
capital for the presidential year.

Oyster Lore.
"Oysters are fatter this year than |
| ever saw them before" said restau-
rant opener. Il don't know why.
But usually the fatter an oyster is, the
poorer the flavor This is generally be-
cause the fat oyster has generally Deen
ont Of the water too long and has been
fed. That is not wholly the reason this
year They are fatter anyhow. An
oyster is best on the half-shelf. about
twentv-four TO forty eight hours after
BE is out OF salt water. Eaten before
that time they are apt 10 give cramps
Yes, the male oyster is the best, but We
don't come across male more than al
average of once in fifty tunes. -
