Hill, and by a larger majority. At
that time the opposition to Governor
Hill within the ranks of the Democrat
ic party was really stronger and more
dangerous than it is now, for the Coun-
ty Democracy, controlled by men
avowedly or secretly his enemies, was
still Il powerful organization, and had
an inspector in every election district
in the city of New York. The County
Democracy is now practically defunct,
and, compared with it, the special or
%ganization evoked at Syracuse has not
voting substance enough to brighten
babies and old women. No one alive
to the results of the consolidation of
the Democratic vote in New York city
doubts that Governor Hill would this
year carry the State by a much larger
majority than he carried it in 1888. If
this were not evident, no intelligent
Democrat would wish Governor Hill to
be nominated, and we believe that he
would not wish it himself. Therein he
differs from Mr.. Cleveland, whose sole
hope of becoming President a second
time is built upon a plot to wreck the
Democratic party in the silver States,
and thus sidetrack the election into the
House of Representatives.

The Red Cross.

Some time after the close of our war,
the American division of the Interna.
tional Red Cross society was permanent
ly organized, with Clara Barton for
president. The society has done great
good in Europe, being in many cases
the first to reach the wounded upon a
battlefield and take them supplies
and aid. Wherever the scarlet cross,
which is the society's badge, was seen
hostile forces made way for its messen-
gers, knowing they conveyed aid to
both sides. In the Franco-Prusian war
the society 5 good works were especially
marked.
But many wondered why the organ
~ization should be permanently contin-
ued here in America, where there was
no war or any prospect of any. Events
have fully answered this query. They
have shown that there is, if possible,
more need for the beneficent Red Cross
society in peace than in war. First.
there was the yellow fever epidemic.
Nurses, food, money and quickly i'm.
provised hospitals, before other aid
could be brought to bear, were part of
the showing of the work of the Red
Cross agents. Next came the Charles
ton earthquake. Here as before Clara
BartOn's staff went Immediately to the
scene of suffering with needed supplies.
In the Johnstown disaster, in the Spo-
kane fire two years ago, in the foods
of the west and south that have made
thousands homeless and hungry, the
same helpful hand has been held out.
AT Titusville, Pa, the first train that
went through after the wave of fire
and flood down Oil creek carried an
agent of the Red Cross society. Wher.
ever sudden and appalling calamity
overtakes mankind, there the Red Cross
plants its banner before the rest of the
community has recovered from its
horror.

LEoTA LANDING, June 90, 1902.
If agreeable to you I thought I would
write a short note from our village, to
let the people that live in the hills and
mountains know how much they are
blest by being out of the high water.
We have the highest water wei known
here, it seems that there is nothing but
u vast world of water, some call il a
grand sight, but it is one of the most
disastrous ever looked upon, there is
thousands of acres of land under water
and hundreds and hundreds OF people
thrown out of employment, and nothing
to eat or live on. They have appealed
to the Government for aid, and if they
do not get it God only knows what will
be- the result. They had no money to
start on on account of the extreme low
price for cotton last season, a great
many of them are living in their houses
with from 3 to 3 feet of water in them
with false floors. Some of the houses
have washed away entirely, and left
the poor people with nothing but to get
out and beg for bread. If the water
does not do 60 down soon our country
is gone for a long time to come; driving
the poor people out is not half the
battle, they will have to fight the dirty
stagnant water; making so much sick
ness and fear some serious. We are
guarding our levees for hundreds of
miles every night and day, there is four
guards to about every four miles on
duty every night. The levees have
broken on the opposite side in a great
many places, and in some of them lives
lost from the fast flood, not having time
to get out of the way. myself live in

1T Is IN A HOLE.
What n JacksOnian Democrat Thinks OF
the Prospect.

the Prospect.
The Democracy never saw an open
grave that they didn't walk into it.
They have put up as the head of the
ticket a man who believes, and has
shown his faith by his works, that a
mugwump is as much entitled to the
rewards of office as the man who has
spent time and money in trying to
elect the ticket.
Then they have put up as the tail of
the ticket a J~acksonian Democrat, who
b lieves that Ito the victors belong the
spoils." Stevenson could carry the
ticket through, for ''the boys in the
trenches" are for him but His Adj
posity will find that the working DEM
ocrats do not believe in his doctrine
that the high toned jay who Tolls back
in his cushioned chair is as good as the
hustler who goes out and spends the
sweat of his brow and the contents of
his pocket book for party success. De-
mocracy is in a hole-deep and wide
and they'll never get out of it as long
as they follow the mugwumpian theo-
rists of the Cleveland school.
Will you kindly print this prediction:
That Cleveland will lose New York,
South Carolina and Louisiana that
his majority in Virginia and West Viz
ginia will be shattered to nothingness,
and that the Democracy will not elect
a national ticket in this day and gene
ration. See the returns ON November

In a recent issue of The Voice, the
most rabid and bitter Democratic sheet
published in the country, are some pic
lures claiming to represent scenes in
Minneapolis saloons during the Repub-

a fact widely known that if that gath
ering was notable for any one thing it
was for the almost entire absence of
evidence of an indulgence in liquor.
