and Arizona, and we favor the early adj
mission of all the territories haveng the
necessary population and resources to
entitle them to statehood, and while
they remain territories we hold that the
officials appointed to administer the
government of n territory, together
with the District of Columbia and Alas

territory or district in which their duties
are to be performed. The Democratic
party believes in home rule and the con-
troll of their own affairs by the people of

We favor legislation by Congress and
state legislatures to protect the lives and
limbs of railway employees and those of
other hazardous transportation COM
panies, and we denounce the inactivity
Of the Republican party, and particular
ly the Republican Senate, for causing
the defeat of measures beneficial and
protective to this class of wage-workers.
We are in favor of the enactment by
the states of laws for abolishing the no.
torious sweating system, for ab~olishing
contract convict labor and for prohib-
iting the employment in factories of
child rem under Is years of age.
We are opposed to all SUMMARY laws

Just growed,' without starting from
any germs in particular. This was sup
posed to happen when flour and water
were mixed together, for example. and
permitted to stand for a while. Paste
so made will quickly develop swarms of
little animals, the surface being covered
with small wrigglers resembling cells in
shape. Not the slightest indication of
life can DO found in the mixture when
freshly made, and yet but a short time
elapses before it is filled with active Or
ganlsms, whose term Of being is only
brought to a close when the material on
which they feed is entirely consumed.
1t is not surprising that the observation
OF such a familiar phenomenon should
nave given rise to the mistaken notion
l refer to.
"These little cells are very curious
things indeed. They are amazingly
prolific, not only having eggs, but
bringing forth their young alive also. 1t
has been discovered that there are four
distinct varieties of them developed in
paste. How did they get there to begin
with Is the question, which has been
satisfactorily answered by the very
simple explanation that their eggs, set
ahoa by evaporation, are always blow
ing about in the air, like the germs Of
countless other species of animalcules.
Some of them fall into the paste, which
affords a suitable feeding ground for
the creatures when Matched, and they
very quickly form a colony there.
"If you will put a small quantity of
good vinegar into a wine-glass and ex-
anime 1t with the naked eye under a
strong light you will find the fluid filled
with slender ~thread-like bodies in rapid
motion. These are the cells of vinegar,
which, when viewed under the micro
scope, are found to be longer and more
active than the paste cells, though not
SO thick. They car be seen to great
advantage by ~inclosing n drop of the
liquid between two pieces Of glass and
casting an image of it, magnifed by a
solar microscope, upon a large screen,
when hundreds Of cells, each apparently
more han a foot in length, will be seen
