DEMOCRATIC DONTs.

The Marquette Club. of Chicago,
celebrated the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln with banquet. The princi-
pal speaker was Senator Shelby NJ.
Cullum. who responded to the toast,
Abraham Lincoln" After sketch
ing the life Of the illustrious Prcsi-
dent, and relating many personal
"reminiscences, Senator Cullum pro-
ceeded to contrast the records of the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The former he characterized as par
ty of progression, the latter as one of
negation.
Continuing the speaker said:
Don't" has always been the burden
OF the Democratic song, and is now.
At this moment its large majority in
the House OF Representatives is Choir

disappointed, said to Crisp, "Don't,'
and Cleveland and the mugwumps
are shouting at Senator Hill, /" DON'T"

ocratic party embarrassed him con.

his lllustrious career, and | am sure if
he were among them now, venerable
in his eighty-fourth year, upon every
suggestion made by him. He would
be pelted with Democratic "donts.,
But if he were with us now in person,
as he certainly is in spirit he would
regard as lite as we do the opposi-
ton of this organized objection to
everything progressive, and would
urge us to hold fast to the doctrine
of protection to American industry as
modified by the policy of reciprocity.
lie would bid us also, l am sure, hold
fast to the doctrine of honest money
for honest people, applied in states

early day the blishment of sill

Harrison's Administration.

The Philadelphia Club, a semi po-
litical organization, celebrated the
birthday Of Abraham Lincoln by a
dinner, at which the principal guests
were Attorney General Miller, Solici-
tor General Taft and Senator Calm.
ger OF New Hampshire. q. Stuart
Patterson, dean of the law school of
the University of Pennsylvania, res
ponded to "Abraham Lincoln" after
which Attorney General Miller spoke
to the toast, "The Present Admins.
!. tration." OF the Chief Executive, Mr..
: Mffier said: He needs no spokes-
map, either in or out of his Cabi-
a~net. The country has, think, learned
} that Benjamin Harrison can speak
and act only for himself" Mr.. Mill
or then reviewed the leading achieve
ments OF the various governmental
departments under Harrison's admin
,stration; the accomplished and pend
ing treaties OF extradition; the cheap
ened collection OF internal revenues;
the reorganization of the Immlgra-
tion Bureau; the business. like con-
duct of the postal service, and the
anti-lottery movement. On the last
named subject Miller said: alt is
believed that the Louisiana lottery
has received mortal hurt, fact in
which the Administration takes just
PRIDE" He referred to the doings of
the Navy department and others in
complimentary terms, and in con-
clusion said: "We make no excuses,
offer no apologies, ask no suspension
of judgment. We say, investigate,
scrutinize, take our word for nothing;
but far off or near at hand, examine
what has been done in great things
and little things, and on such exami-
nation pass Judgment on the claim
that President Harrison is giving the
country an honest, capable, patriotic,
business administration"

a SENSIBLE rmopeHr.


Here is something, by Salt Lake
minister. so profoundly sensible tina
it would do credit to an Emerson Of
Hugo. How many, many lives are
lost to this world. their humanity
dwarfed and crushed ont OF them
who BY more intelligent application
Of the doctrine Of salvation might be
saved +, society and usefulness, no
one can know. But we should know
by this time that to so live that each
shall do his best for himself and for
all, is to live right:
Mr.. Utter's sermon at the theatre
was upon 1.-THE Revival Theory OF
Life and Salvation" There was a
theory Of life underlying the revivals
that are had in many Christian
churches that is false from beginning
to end, false in every particular, and
against that theory he wished to
sreak. He had nothing against other
churches or tho people who carry
them on, but that which is false is
not good for anybody, and he ex-
horted his hearers in 80 far as they
agreed with him that this theory Of
life and human nature is an erroneous
one, to reject it and cry, Down with
il, away with i,'
"This theory asserts that man is a
fallen being, that, as the New Eng
land primer phrased it, Sin Adams
fall we sinned ALL and that we are
all therefore corrupt and depraved BY
nature. The truth is that man is not
fallen creature, but rising, pro-
gressive, improving one, and this
truth in general way is now almost
universally accepted. History is the
story Of the Improvement of the hu-
man family IN all their ways OF life,
powers and attainments. On the 9th
or hand there is the Bible story Of
Adam and Eve in the garden. But
we neither know who wrote this story,
nor who wrote the Pentateuch in
which we find it. The story seems to
come from Babylonia and it came into
the Pentat ouch when that book was
compiled, which was about the time
OF Ezra. 1t should DO regarded as a
poem, and no moro taken as history
than we take the poems that bear the
name OF Homer. This theory Of the
fall OF man is out OF harmony with the
usually accepted theory Of evolution.
And yet take this foundation stone
away aud the whole scheme Of life
and salvation upon which religious
revival usually proceeds falls to the
ground. There is no need for the
atoning sacrifice Of the Son Of God,
no reason for eternal punishment, no
danger from which we may escape by
trusting in tho merits Of the Lord
Jesus Christ. "Salvation" is restored
TO It's natural meaning Of safe living,
saving the life for good use, instead
Of wasting il. II is not going to
heaven when you die, it is living
pure and heavenly life in this world.

language of educated men, while Latin almost ceased to be the yehi- cle of modern thought.
 It is now an open question wheth- CT Latin or German or English should not be employed freely in the great scientific associations of Eu- rope, or whether all three should not be allowed at the discretion of the writers of individual papers. If any,one of these languages should take the precedence to-day it would be the English, which is now more commonly spoken by foreigners as q universal language than any other.
 It is found that 1t is capable of such scientific exactness as is de- manded in intricate details, and that one who knows his English well is more sure of commanding hearing from the majority in an assemblage of different nationalities than if he used German or French. The indi cations are that English is to be the future scientific language of the world-Boston Herald.

Do Not Rnke of the Lawns.

Most people," says an artistic
 gardener, "rake off the leaves from their lawns, and then to protect them smear them over with some vile compost. l can't understand why they prefer the rank favored stuff to the beautifully variegated blanket of leaves nature provides for that very purpose. What is prettier than wide stretch of the restless, fiuttering things, and no better pro- lection can be given the grass than they afford. Enough will decay in the winter to enrich the soil sufficient. ly, and when raked off in the spring the lawn is of neat and clean as one can wish. Some argue that the leaves are so long falling that the beauty of the lawn is marred long before the protection is needed, but to this answer that these early droppings should be raked off and till cold weather. when they should be all scattered ever the lawn at once.

The RUSSELLWLLE DEMOCRAT
 PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY Democrat Printing Co. RUSSELLvILLE, ARK.
A BIG THREE.
Simpson, Watson and Otis Will Not Work
 With Alliance congressmen.
BREEZY MEETING.
Alliance Congressman Decide to N"rh With the Democrats of the House
 Causing Jerry to Withdraw.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-A Wash ington special says: Jerry Simpson, supported by two other Alliance con- gressmen, Watson, of Georgia, and Otis, of Kansas, has split with the other Alliance members of the house, and it is said the difficulty is too serious to be healed.
 The trouble came to head at a meeting of the Alliance congress- men held in this city. last last week, and it's result was developed by the refusal of Messrs. Simpson, Waters and Otis to attend another meeting of the Alliance members last night.
 At the meeting last week there was a long and bitter discussion over the proposition that the Ali ance men in congress should agree to cast lot with the Democratic party. The proposition was vigor- ously opposed by Simpson, Watson and Otis. They contended that tn e Alliance had progressed favorably, without the aid of either the two great political parties, and advocated the third party scheme.
 Several times during the evening an exchange of blows was narrowly averted, and after it had been de- cided that the Alliance congressman should work with the Democratic party in the house, Simpson, Wat son and Otis protesting, the meeting adjourned until the next night.
 The report of the split is con- frmed by Messrs. Simpson, Watson and Otis. They will not be gov erned in the future by the actions of their Alliance men. Watson, who was the Alliance candidate for speaker of the house, will probably be the leader of the third party men.

Colonel Shepard on Morning Papers.

The Mail and Express was the first newspaper of the country to announce the selection of Hon. Charles Frederick Crisp, of Ameri- GUS, Georgia, as Democratic speaker of the house of representatives.
 Our extra was selling on Broad way and Fifth avenue at ten o'clock last night; and, as usual, the Mail and Express vindicated its title of being the leading evening paper.
 If the morning papers do not sharpen their quills, the first thing they will know we shall be the lead ing paper, whether evening or morn ing.

The yestibule Car is Safe.

The improvement in palace and drawing room cars in the last two or three years has heen very great, as l learned in talking with railroad man who is here from the West to buy cars. "The most notable feature in .heir improvement, said he, lis their greater strength and safety. It IS next to impossible for passengers to be hurt in one of the modern yes tibule trains, no matter what acci. dent may happen, short of rolling down an embankment, being pitched off a bridge or into water. The vestibule ends of cars are so strong that in an accident I went through the other day, where 2 train running nearly fifty miles and hour dashed into a freight train on a side track, not passenger was even scratched There was big fat man crossing from one car into another, who was in the middle of the vestibule when the train struck, and he was the least shaken up of any one. The new frame work under the cars is made of steel, and the lighting and heating apparatus makes it impos- sible to injure passengers by burn ing. New York Press.

GARZA MARCHING.
The Mexican ReyolutIonlst Has an Organ
 ized Band of Five Thousand Men.
EXCITEMENT RUNS HIGH
Among Mexicans and Americans--The First Battle win Take Place Not
 Later Than February I.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 29.--Additional adyices from the Mexican border confirm the report that Garza has crossed into Mexico with from 4000 to 5000 we'll armed and mounted Mexicans. He has another band in the Santa Rosa Mountain country of 1500 to 1900 men, well armed and mounted under com mand of Gen. Francisco Salos, and it is a well known fact among all Mexicans, who try to find out any thing about the trouble, that Garza will have at least two-thirds of the entire Mexican population on his side when the proper time comes to show up, which will be immediately after the. first hght, which will take place not later than the 1st of February.
 Eighty-fve Mexicans in one band well equipped for war were seen heading for the Rio Grande yester- day to join Garza. This is near So- nora, Sutton county, Texas.
 There is great excitement all along the upper part of the border, not only among Mexicans, but among Americans as well. Bands of revolutionists meet at Sonora, Tex, daily and organize. They are not molested by the officers of the law and are permitted to proceed on their way to Mexican territory.

Why He Didn't Rise.

Detroit is a lovely city and every body knows it. The love of it is bred in the bone, and never gets out of the flesh. The other Sunday a visiting clergyman addressed the Sunday school of an uptown church. After a serious talk he said to the children;
 "All of you who desire to live in a better world than this please rise to your feet"
 All the children rose except one small boy in the corner.
 The good man looked at him in pained surprise.
 My child" he said, very gently and kindly, ''why don't you rise with the othersi"
 "Detroit's good enough for me, that's why" sang out the youngster, and the solemnity of the occasion was knocked to pieces.-Detroit Free Press.

A chnnter on oxster..

"Oysters are fatter this year than 1 ever saw them before," said a restaurant oyster opener. "I don't know why, but usually the fatter an oyster is the poorer the flavor. This is because the fat oyster has gener- ally been out of the water too long and has been fed. That is not wholly the reason this year, They are fat ter, any how.
 "An oyster is better on the half shell, about twenty-four to forty eight hours after he is out of salt water. Eaten before that time they are apt to give cramps. Yes, the male oyster is the best, but we don't come across a male more than an average of once in fifty times. '-New York Herald.

THE LAWYERS GHOST.

A lawyer and bishop (perhaps the bishop should come frst) were talking, and this was the manner of their talk:
 q have become thoroughly con- vinced," said the lawyer, "of the existence of nocturnal apparitions, for I have seen one n
 "Dear me !" exclaimed the bishop. "I am very curious. Relate the story"
 "I will, my lord, l will" " said the lawyer. 1t was between the hours of II and 12 1 had gone to bed, and was just falling into my first comfortable sleep, when l was wakened by strange creaking noise. It sounded as if some one was walking up stairs The steps sounded nearer and nearer, slower and slower; solemn and measured they were, and presently they halted at my door. l drew tho sheet over my head and lay there trembling, not daring to move.
 Something" continued the law yer, "entered my room and threw the sheet over my face. 1 felt rather than saw a faint yellow glim- mering light l could not move at first, but l presently managed to gain little courage. l drew the sheet cautiously down from my face and-looked l''
 "WellW cried the bishop, excited ly.
 '1n the center of the room" said the lawyer, slowly, "stood a tall old man. He seemed gaunt and worn with age or h lnger, and his long gray beard hung half way down his breast. He was dressed in queer loose cloak with cape, and he wore a broad leather band about his waist. In one hand he held peculiarly shaped lantern, from which flowed the yellow light, making strange ghostly shadows on the wall behind him. In the other hand he held staff, the look of which was un- pleasant. He stood still in the middle of the floor, looking at me. Presently l said, Whence art thouf What dost thou requirei'"
 "And what did he sayY" cried the bishop, fixing his eyes upon the odd expression of the lawyers face.
 'He said," replied the lawyer, speaking in a hoarse whisper-"he said: I beg yer pardon, sur.

SMALL POx SPREADING.
Chinese Rapidly Failing Victims to the
 MaIady on Angel Island.

tp A'sN
 Malady on Angel Island.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-Small pox is spreading rapidly among 800 Chinese quarantined on Angel Island. They landed from the steamer "Rio Janeiro," January 20, when there were two cases on board. Now there are eleven well defined cases of continent small pox at Lazarett.
 The Chinese fully expect that every man on the island will be taken with the disease, and they sit around awaiting their turn.
 Six custom house officers are in- cluded among the eleven wfites on the island and quarantine officers will not allow them to leave.
 Within sight of the quarantine station are the government barracks. Col. Shafter has established dead line, beyond which no quarantined person may stray, and guard pa trols the line.
