The national Democratic party, when
it next assemblies, should by resolu-
tion publicly thank the Republicans
for training and educating brainy men
to head their party organization. Such
men as Governor Boies, Governor
Gray, Governor Campbell, Senator
Palmer and General Gresham should
call out the profound thanks of Dem
ocrats. 'The old wheel-horses of
Democracy" will please stand a little
back and allow this Republican quin-
tet chance. They have had Repub-
loan schooling and know how things
should be done.

The Kansas MIDDLE.

TOPEKA, Feb. 2I-The supreme court this
morning took up the habeas corpus case of L.
G. Gum, to test the legality of the Republi-
can house. After considerable argument it
was decided that the burden of proof rests on
the Republican house. Frank L. Brown,
clerk of the Republican house, was then ex-
amined: 1t is understood the policy of the
Populists is to delay the hearing by the inter-
position of all sorts of objections until the
Populists can pass all the bills they desire,
and adjourn before the court can reach de-

The absorption of Gresham by the
incoming Democratic administration is
indicative to few sanguine members
of the old Bourbon organization of the
disintegration of the Republican party,
and the commingling of the elements
with Democracy. But this Is lmpos-
sible from the antagonistic principles
which underlie the structure of the
two great political parties. Republi-
canism is progressive, and marks out
path for the nation to follow, while
Democracy lags behind and keeps in
the old ruts of half century ago. The
modern school of Democracy-uot
Tammany hall, but the Cleveland
branch of the party-shows some signs
OF advancement, and occupy nearly the
same ground that the Lincoln Repub-
licans did from 1861 to 1865; but the
organization in its entirety is where
Jefferson placed it at the beginning of
the century. Modern Democracy
idolizes Lincoln and endorses the war
for the preservation of the union, ap-
proves of the reconstruction of the
southern states and the honest pay
ment of the national debt; but the ira
ditions of the party still hold sacred |
the sovereignty of the state, considers |
Lincoln buffoon, weeps over the 'lost |
cause" and denounces the acts of re-
construction as despotlc. 1t is hope
full to note the fact that the young
men who affiliate with the organiza-
tion have .trampled under feet these
traditions" and stand upon the same
platform the Republicans did In
1865. Of course they are thirty |
years behind the progress of |
the party they attempt to fol |
low, and at this ratio of advancement |
IN 1922 will have arrived at the |
position now occupied by the leading |
party. The appointment of Mr. Gresh- |
am to the chief position In Clevelands |
cabinet is therefore simply fulfilling |
the unmistakable destiny of the Re-
publican party. 1t has shaped the ad-
ministration of national affairs for the |
past thirty years, and in all prob
ability will shape the policy of the
country for many years to come.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 2f.-In conse
quence of the destruction of crops by
frosts last summer, famine and disease Is
prevalent throughout Finland, and more
than 5000 persons are dependent upon
charity. The towns and villages are
thronged with beggars. AT least 100000
peasants are barely able to find means of
subsistence. They have eaten most of
their draft animals and domestic pets.
Typhus fever is carrying off hundreds

The Durham bill, which passed the
legislature on Friday evening, is very
important law, and amends the Aus
tralian ballot system in very many re-
CARDS. 1t provides that the candidates
of different parties shall be in different
columns, and that the name of any
person shall not occur but once on the
ticket. For some reason the Demo
Gratis attempted to illbuster, so as
to insure its defeat; but President
Fulton was equal to the emergency,
and ruled after the precedent set by
Hon. Thos. Reed, and which has been
supported by decision of the U. S.
supreme court. AS might be expected,
the Democratic organs in the state are
bowling Cazaerism:and have spoken of
the presidents action in not very COM
plimentary terms. In any delibera-
tive assembly the majority should rule,
and not be placed by the tactics of
obstructionlsts- at the mercy of mi
nority. The amendments to the Aus
tralian ballot law were necessary to
insure free ballot and q fair count,
end the ruling of Mr.. Fulton will be
endor sed by the people of the state.

Evidence Of 3 Fearful Crlme.

which burned Adolph Neise's house, wife
and infant yesterday proves on evidence
before the coroner's jury to be a frightful
crime. The jury ordered the arrest of
Neise and his wifs's sister, Hattie Fautz.
The story Of the other children is to the
effect that the mother was lying on the

was discovered, and that the floor was
sprinkled with some fluid, supposed to
be kerosene. Their father covered their
faces so they could not see the flames

HOKE SMITH AND POPULISTS

One reason given for Judge Iresh-
ANS appointment to cabinet place,
says the Inter Ocean, is his popularity
with the Populists. But if President
elect Cleveland expected to corral Gen
eral Weaver, Mrs. Lease and all the
other Populists why did he appoint
Hoke Smith secretary of the interior
General Weaver has friendly feeling
for Judge Gresham, and last summer
would have sacrificed his own ambi-
ton to become presidential candidate
if Gresham had consented to lead the
Populists. Weaver might follow
Gresham back into the new Democ-
racy but for the intimate associations
the Judge will have with Hoke Smith
of Georgia. But the general can never
visit Washington or be on friendly
terms with the administration CT
which Hoke Smith is part. General
Weaver and Mrs Lease have most
vivid recollections of Georgia and of
Hoke Smith. In Georgia they were
greeted with bad eggs, and Hoke Smith
was held responsible for it all.
1t was Hoke Smith who sent re-
porter to Pulaski. Tenn, to rake up
that old scandal about Weaver's
cruelty to the refugees and residents
while in command there in 1864. 1t
was Hoke Smith who published all
those afidavits against Weaver In his
paper, the Atlanta Journal, and it was
Hoke Smith who sent reporter along
with Weaver in his tour through the
south, to exhibit these afidavits at
every place where Weaver spoke, to
incense the southern people against
him. 1t was Hoke Smith who stirred
up the south against Weaver and Mrs.
Lease, and brought about that exhibi-
ton of southern Rivalry which soiled
eheir clothes and drove them from the
state of Georgia.
If Cleveland had any hope of win
ming over the Popuiists with Gresham,
he destroy ed that hope when he made
Hoke Smith one of his cabinet Off
GERS. We hope, therefore, that Mr..
Cleveland will not blame Judge
Gresham if the Populists do not flock
to the standard of the new Democracy.
It will be his own folly in trying to
hold on to the old Democracy, the mig
ger-hating, rotten egg Democracy of
Georgia, that prevents the judge from
gathering the third party into the fold.
We take this early opportunity to
acqult the judge of any shortcoming or
the responsibility for any failure. The
blame must rest on Hoke Smith of
Gaoruia

The appointment of Judge Gresham
as secretary of state is not at all agree
able to very many of the supporters of
MIR. Cleveland, who believe that the
first position in the cabinet should have
been given to a Democrat. This may
be true; but. it is very apparent that

manner to suit himself. 1t can not be
expected that this will be rellshed
by Tammany who secured his election;
but, before and after November are
different times, and usually successful
candidates act differently after they
have secured the desired positions
The Democracy may as well swallow
the pill, however bitter it is to their
taste, for it cannot be changed now.
Democrats must remember that the
Chicago platform was made simply to
attract votes, and that this republic
cannot maintain her position among
nations without a Republican marks
out the policy to be followed. Judge
Gresham is all right at the head of the
state department. He will simply
carry out the destiny of the party with
which he has affiliated for long years.

Big Lobster Pound.

There isa lobster farm, or pound, as it
is called. l2 acres in extent at Southport.
Me. This pound is the most successful
on the coast, whence 100000 Holsters
are shipped each year. The pound is
formed by building a solid dam across q
tidewater cove This dam does not quite
rise to high water mark. but across the
top is placed a fence of iron rods, per
mitting a daily change Of water and pre-
venting the Holsters from escaping. In
the spring and fall business is most brisk.
When the fishermen bring the Holsters
to the pound, the "fsh." as they are
called, are hoisted to the dam, measured,
and those which are more than 1O4
inches long, the legal limit, are thrown in
If a lobster is clever, his lie in the pound
may be long and full of joy. Ii he is
stupid, he will be fished, out with drag
seine and packed in barrel, with piece
Of ice for pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made Of stout twine and is
weighted at the bottom with heavy
chain. Along the top is a row Of corlls,
which sustain the weight Of the seine
while the chain drags ON the bottom Of
the pound.
A single cast Of this seine win bring
up Holsters enough tofll11 barrels. The
chain as it sweeps along the bottom stirs
up the Holsters, which Immediately shoot
backward into the slack twine. In tax
ing them out the men wear heavy nit
tens, though even then they are often
nipped. In the pound the Holsters are
fed on salt herring, men rowing about
in skiffs and pitching the herring over
board. This is called feeding the chick

make light luncheon for the flock. =

Economy IN Foot Wear.

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is low cut shoe of a
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
TO match each dress. This style OF foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors Of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks heapparent size Of a large
foot and forms a very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front Of
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and

Easv tests For Provinc ! plamond.

1t is an easy matter to detect the diff
ference between a genuine diamond and
an imitation. Take a tube Of filtered
water and drop the stone therein. If it
is paste, it can be seen as it passes through
the water, but if pure the eye is unable
TO see it at all. Another test is to place
the stone upon a pencil dot made on a
piece of white paper. If the dot is du-
plicated upon the facets you can rest as
sured that the stone is a fraud, but if
not it is a good stone. The common be-
lief that a stone can be tested by filing is
erroneous, for the best diamond ever cut
will splinter and break when rasped with
this instrument. st. Louis Globe-Dem-
