DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.

There is Just now considerable specu-
lation being INDUCED as to whether the
Democratic party will throw the silver
question overheard and make Tammany
its only standard, or whether it will de-
eide to do its utmost in favor Of silver.
| The former suggestion now seems more
likely to he realized, as the Democratic
party has been trying, apparently, to
back out of its advocacy of silver ever
since it partially declared itself on the
question and it is understood that some
OF those who approach nearest to being
leaders, for the party has no leaders,
think that the issue has not been suffi-
GENTLY defined as yet so that the party
need take stand and hold that such
step would be very injudicious and I'M
safe at this time This is the customary
attempt to make an acrobatic feat do
instead of principles, repeated exhibit
ton of which tendency Oh the part of the
Democracy have caused the rank and
file Of the party to lose confidence in its
alleged leaders and has resulted in disaf-
lection and disruption. 1t is the
same plan of placing the party and its
safety before the interests and even the
demands of the people, which has char
acterized the Democratic party for years,
aud which is by no means popular.
Such methods to keep any political
party intact are born of cowardice and
avarice on the part of INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticial trimmers of the Ben Hill stripe
who throw dust in the eyes of the peo-
pie and wantonly trample upon their
rights, in order that they (the trimmers)
may attain prestige and power. As the
Omaha Republican puts it, the average
Intelligent voter does not join political
party merely for the honor of being
classed as one of its followers, but he ex-
poets, and has right to expect, from /
the party of his choice, subserviencv to /
the interests and welfare of the common
people. The people ragard parties as in !
struments with which TO subserve the /
public welfare, while the Democracy !
seems to regard the people as mere step
ping stones to its greatness. If the Dem !
ocratic party now deserts free silver. it |
will be the last part of the end of that t
party, which is already lettering and |
ready to fall.

Power of an Old Song

a street band, consisting of harp, q
flute and two violins, made such unusually
good music on West street the other even
ing that great crowd was beguiled into
stopping and listening to it, The musicians
seemed careful to suit all tastes. After
every three or four tunes the chief mu-
sician canyassed the crowd, hat in hand.
On one of these rounds he was stopped by
a tai young fellow who stood in the shad-
ow of a store doorway. The young man
threw coin into his hat and whispered a
few words TO him, and the musician, after
a moments thought, nodded his head and
went back TO his orchestra He gave
short order in Italian there was tuning
of the harp and the violins, and the next
moment, clearly and expressively, came
the strains of Only to See Her Face"
There seems to be some touch of nature
in the music of the sentimental old song
that touches the average man and brings
pleasant lump into his throat, and it had
its effect on the crowd Some of those who
stood near the tall young fellow in the door
way looked at him and smiled, half humor-
ously, half sympathetically
Mashed" said a young woman in red
jacket.
II have been there" said man on the
curbstone.
But the young fellow did not hear them.
He stood smiling also, half wistfuily,
and his eyes, ranging over the heads of the
mucicians and the crowd, seemed fixed on
some vague spot In the distance.-Boston

which left the lower part Of the room in
such darkness that he could not read the
letters sent to him. He found, however,
that when be placed them against the part
of the wall lighted by the air hole the
words became very distinct. The effect
was most striking, and it occurred to him
that if a picture were placed in a similar
position it would have a wonderful effect
Accordingly, on his liberation, he made
q series of experiments which enabled him
TO improve his invention, and on June 10,

The most that the Rock Island railroad
can hope for by contesting before the
courts the order of the Kansas railway
commission is to delay the date of putting
the commissions order in operation.
The other roads see the inevitable and
very wisely accept the situation and will
comply with the order. The Rock
Island may think to make something bv
its obstreprousness, but it will learn its
mistake later. There is one thing the
people of Kansas are determined upon,
and are unite in the demand, and that
is that the citizens and business interests
of the state shall not be Disseminated
against. And this demand is going to be
enforced, peaceably if it may, forcibIy if
it must,
