many enemies attributed much of his
success TO his seldom making such dis
coyeries.
Half day later and Constance and
her correspondent had resolved them
selves into faint splash of oars and a
murmur of voices scarcely audible from
the pier where Alice was burdened with
an embarrassing wealth Of companion

not obtrusively apparent in a quiet
young man leisurely half reclining in
the bow of q small skiff Of which Alice
held the oars. Dunn stood upon the
steps leading down to the water, look

himself and the boat.

Scornfully.

a PLATFORM STUCK IN a BOG.

The favorite declaration of Democratic
tariff reformers for the past three years
has been that their party was engaged in
a campaign of education on the great
tGriff question, but if we are to take the
declaration of the Chicago platform as a
fair estimate of the progress that party
has made as compared with the position
and declarations of the party and its
leaders half 4 century ago, 1t has been
towards unlearning rather than acQuir-
ing further information touching the
true principles of the great and import
ant economic question.
The declaration, that it is a ''funda-
mental principle of the Democratic party
that the federal government has no cor
stitutional power to impose OF collect
tariff duties, except for the purpose Of
revenue only Is a falsehooI and a de
fusion. That is the doctrine set forth
in the ordinance Of notification passed
al Columbia. South Carolina. In 1892 and
afterwards embodied IN the provisions of
the Confederate constitution adopted at
Montgomery, Alabama, in 1861; but it
was doctrine Of the Democratic party.
That party, with Z general drift towards
a free trade policy, has favored at times
aud at times opposed tariffs with pro;ec-
tive features; bu. It never before denied
TO the government, the coas,ituE ional
power TO enact such tariffs.
There Is a disposition in some quarters

Chicago resolution, and pretend thar 1t

DEMOCRAT HELPS.
From the Kansas City Journal.

other close states, and il comes out VIC

| Four -fifths of the states which give
| their electoral votes to the Democratic
| ticket are not affected by issues or can
didates; they are Democratic through
race prejudice and war prejudice. The
slum vote of New York is even more
needless of principle, if possible, than
the eX-rebel vote of the south.
When new parties start up they must
look for converts and recruits TO states
which are controlled politically by ideas.
hence to states where the Republican
party, the party of ideas, is IN the as
cendant. It is. consequently, IN Repub-
lican states, or Republican communities,
that the third party gets its strength
and does its mischief. Its membership
is mostly drawn from the Republican
ranks, and the Republican party is the
loser, and the Democratic party the cor
responding gamer from lis existence.
In New York, in 1884, the Prohibition
party made an earnest campaign
throughout the rural districts, and drew
enough votes from the Republican 10

In this way the Republican parry

at all, will do for Democracy in a few
western states what the Prohib ton party
did for it in 1884. Ia South Dakota,

The following table shows white and
colored population with the percentage
of increase for each decade:

The small rate Of increase in the color
ed population from 1860 to 1870 given in
the above table-less than 10 per cent
Is to be accounted for by the fact, as
officially declared, that "the census of
1870 was grossly deficient in the South
ern states, so much so as not only to give
an exaggerated rate of increase of the
population between 1870 and 1880 in
these states, but to affect very material
ly the rate of increase in the country at
large"
The states with the smallest colored
population-the word ''colored" en-
bracing persons of African decent,
Chinese, japanese, and civilized Indi-
ans-are North Dakota, 500; New Hamp-
shire, 600; and Vermont, 1904. The
states containing over 100000 colored
persons are twelve in number. We

Inc h2meIeOn and Some OF It's Strtk1n :.
Peculiarities.
The chameleon has for ages been an
object of curiosity, not only on account
of its ability 10 change its color at will,
as one might suppose who had read ac-
counts which mentioned only that one
characteristic, but also on account of a
remarkable power which admits of the
creature instantly changing its form.
At times it takes upon itself almost the
exact form OF = mouse; again, with
back curved and tail erect, il is the
exact counterpart OF Isiniature
crouching lion, which no doubt gave
origin to its name. chameleon, which
clearly means ground lion" By in
flating its sides and flattening back and
belly it takes upon itself the form of an
ovate leaf, the tale acting as the petit
ole, the white line over the belly becom-
ing the midrib. When thus expanded
it also has the extraordinary power To
sway itself over so as to present an edge
to the observer, thus greatly adding to
its means of concealmCnt. AS is well
known, the least excitement in hand
ling will cause change in the color
In its normal state it is of a light pea
green. When excited the groundwork
remains the same, but transverse stripes
about thirty in number appear on the
body. These stripes, which are of a
very dark green to begin with, soon
change to inky blackness. The prevail
ing idea that the chameleon takes upon
himself the peculiar hues of whatever
he is placed upon is rs curious and wide
spread as it is erroneous. Placed in
boxes lined with red or blue silk. they
retain their pea-green color with no
leaning toward the brighter hues of the

oh census has been as follows:

The percentage of males is now larger
than at any other time. This is due prin-
cipally to the fact that there has been a
heavy immigration since 1880, and three
fifths of all immigrants are males. But
the females exceed the males in number
in the states of New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New
