Scotland's celebrated ruin. Melrose alb

completed in LAG aud dedicated To the Nir'
gin Mary In 1872 it va. destroyed by the
English army of Edward III. but it WIS soon
rebuilt by Robert Bruce in style of mag
nificence which RANKS it among the most
Perfect ecclesiastical constructions in the
best age of Gothic architecture. In 1885,
and again in l545. it suffered at the hands
Of the English armies. and during the Ref
ormation many of its choicest sculptures
were mutilate,i. In later times many OF
the stones have been taken away to use in
other buildings, but the church remains
and part of the eloister and choir. These
show plainly the original beauty of the
building. As an abbey the history of Mel
rose is but meager. Its first occupants
were Cistercian monks. In its line of alb
bots there was but one saint-St. Waltheof
King Alexander ii was buried within its
walls at his own request. Bruce left 1t the
legacy of his heart.

Latin ''corcare, which, in turn, was born
of the Greek word "korks," signifyius "in

The platform just adopted by the Massa'
chnset,. Democrats is noticeable for its
attempt to amend the party's national plat
form on the state bank question. Ii asks
for circulating notes under such form OF
Federal supervision as may be thought
desirable" This is nothing more nor less
than the continuance of the present national
banking system to which the Democratic
party has always been hostile. The Chicago
plank demands the out-snd-out repeal Of tho
ten per cent tax on the state banks. which
means only state supervision over banking
institutions. The Massachusetts Democrats
have discovered the mistake made at Chicago
and try To correct it, just as the Councillor
Democrats tried To correct the mistake made
on the tariff question. If many more Dem
ocratic state conventions are held, th'
Chicago platform will look like a log jan
