exports are fixed in Liverpool on a
gold basis, making demonetized de-
preciated silver pay our labor and
products, while our appreciated gold
dollar pays our debts.
In accordance with these facts the
free coinage of silver means restora-

wages with every dollar coined taking
the place Of I. credit dollar, thus wip-

to tell the truth even if it is against
his own party. All honor to an hon
est man, no difference where you find
him:
Editor COnStituti0n:-YOur cores
pondent from here, giving an account
Of the election for the legislature, in
Inmates that the Democrats were not
on the alert. He is mistaken; they
were. Everything was done that
could be to make our success certain.
The Democrats had good man, bet
ter than the one elected, and we
worked hard to elect our man, but
we failed. Who is to blame for it,?
Let me tell you. Our party in con-
gress is TO blame. You cannot, under
the circumstances, be surprised at
our vote when there is such disSen-
sion among our congressman on as i'm
p0rtant question as that of finance.
When you hear Democrats in congress
admit that platforms are made to
get votes, the people understand that
they are being fooled. This country
was stirred up all last year over the
lnlqultieS of the present tariff laws.
Since the election everything is as
quiet on the tariff as if death had en-
tered our party. Why is this? Are
we to get no relief for finance and on
the tariff? tell you the people are
beginning to believe it; and if they
find out the Democratic party is fool
ing them they will do with it as they
did the Republican last fall.
Another thing had its infuenc in
our election that was not mentioned.
The appointed officers under the
Democrats seem to 90 in families
and generally the families that have
been at the public teat ever since the
war. Our people have some sense and
discretion; but the men who are get
ting McGregor seats at the Demo
cratic table are not entitled to it..
l don't know how they get it, but the
people don't like it.
in this part of the state, as sure
as you live, the Democratic party is
In danger unless we redeem our
pledges. | have been a Democratic
voter since the war, and as such had
to vote against some of the men who
have been given high Office under Mr..
Cleveland. Yet some of these very
men and their families are now in Of
fee under the state and federal gov
ernment. This helped to make our
defeat as complete as it was. and
notify you now it is getting worse
every day. DALTON DEMOCRAT.
Now who can say the Pops are dead
in Georgia? If you find man who
says that any more, or who persists
in the abSurdity that the third party
is only Democratic trick" just get
a little bottle of bug juice and coax
him off around the corner and exam
inc his back and if you do not find
him to be genuine moss back" you
may call me a Democrat hereafter

Sept. 25-Plenty of rain fell Sunday
morning to put the ground in excel
lent condition for wheat sowing.
The neighbors are getting back
from the Strip. About half OF them
report having claims. The "soOners"
had about all the choice ones that we
saw.
The excitement of the Strip race
had very peculiar effect on some
people. A young lady near Corbln,
we hear, seeing prairie fire, imag-
ined her brother was in it and went
crazy, dying from the effects of it last
Tuesday. Others were disgusted
with the wind and dust and started
back east to their ma. A blacksmith
here, Charley Shoup, hasn't recovered
from the effects of the opening yet,
for he opened his shop and went to
work Sunday morning, although a
Christian. Some friends persuaded
him not to sharpen any plows on Sun
day.

for wise, quick action that the prod

new enterprises require a correspond

silver was demonetized, placing a
double demand on gold with the fol.
lowing result: Silver has dropped 3S
or 40 per cent. Our great articles of
export, wheat, cotton, etc, have gone
down with silver, entirely throwing
labor out Of employment in some Sec
tiOns, and down go the wages in all
sections Of the country, all through
increasing the value of the debt-pay-

so-called, which are not legal ten

They debased silver beside of gold in
not making it legal tender when
the contract was made Of gold. They
further demonetized it in refusing to

Here it has dropped to seventy cents

Another Mans Legs.

At the capitol in Baton Rouge is q
portrait of Zachary Taylor with which
is connected an amusing "Reminiscences.
While Gen. Howard, the author of Tay-
lor's recent Life" was looking at the
picture, an old resident said to him:
why, sir, that is Zachary Taylor's
head and body, with al. err mans
legs"
How is that, my friend"
"Oh, the old gentleman would not
sit as q model. When he little thought
what was being done, the artist
sketched his head and body, but as the
general declared he could not afford the
time for further operations, the painter
was obliged to finish with another
man."
The result is said to be fairly good.
It is q well executed picture, though
the face is neither SO firm nor so strong
as that of other portraits, and the
figure is that of a man somewhat taller
than the general.

An overxifted Monkey.

Jack is the name of a monkey that a
New Yorker owned for five years and
has recently given to the menagerie in
Central Park. Jack used to have ex.
cellent manners, and, as monkeys go,
was a gentleman. He had a good
home and never stayed out after dark.
The complaint against him was that he
flooded the lower floors of the house
and ruined several hundred dollars
worth of furniture. His master left
him one day in charge Of the apart
ments, and Jack took a bath. He for
got to turn off the water and the tub
IAN over. Moreover, he scalded him
self and did not look even respectable
afterward. The master returned in
time to catch him in the act of wiping
himself with a crash towel. Being re-
monstrated with he appeared penitent,
but in less than an hour was in front
Of q mirror, razor in hand, trying to
shave off his moustache. Jack simply
had to go. There was no living with
him after that.-New York Tribune.

an earthquake, and remarked dole
fully, 1--we known the time when that
farm was as pretty a spot for game as
could be found in the county, and now,
why, there amt a place where a part
ridge can make a nest, or a hare or
rabbit can hide!
Whats the good O. the place now?"
he went on. you see that grass field
yonder. Well, you'll scarcely believe
1t, but it was once the beautifullest
bog for u jack snipe as ever you'd wish
to see. I've killed three couple
of q morning among the tussocks
and rushes afore they spoilt it with
them drains!"
"Ah," said the dean, "but you must
not forget that there is more wheat
and more food than before the land
was reclaimed"
''Ya, and what's the use of it?' the
gamekeeper said. whats the good of
wheat which it do not pay to raise when
them foreigners are ascending morn'n
we want? And more's the shame, the
farmers never leave no stubble. No,
the place is no good now"

The Articles of Wal Adopted in 1906

The Articles of War" which the
newspapers mention once in a while
are the rules governing the armies of
the United States. They are contained
in sections 1342 and 1343 of the Re-
vised Statutes of the United States,
and were adopted in 1906 substantially
as taken from the British articles of
war in 1915. Section 1342 contains 1913
different articles, which formed the
original articles. The whole collection
is ancient and according to the Globe
Democrat might be revised with great
benefit; it is long and, as the articles
must be read publicly ut least once
every six months, the day on which
they are read is looked forward to
with disgust by both officers and men.
The first eight articles deal with ell
listments, musiers, false returns; ar
ticles 8 and 10, with responsibility for
stores; articles IL to IA, with fur
loughs and musters; Is to IS, with
damaging OF losing stores; 10 to 80,
with d%isrespect to president, to officers,
mutiny, challenging in ducls; 81 to IS,
with absence; 36 to 81, hiring duty,

Probably Feels Better Now.
Quincy, Mass, MARCH, 13.-unrequitcd
love and jealousy were the cause of a
probable murder and suicide at Quincy
to day, the principals in the shocking
tragedy being Mary Victoria Lafave, a
comely lass of eighteen years, and Joseph
Massey, aged about thirty years. The
girl, who is q devout church member,
had been to mass. and vas returning
home unattended. Massey, who had
been waiting for her. followed her. A
score or more of other people, who were
also returning from church, were be
hind her. Massey was seen to step up
near the girl and without any warning
draw a revolver and fire three shots in
rapid succession which were followed by
a h~eart-rending scream from the girl.
The whole affair came so suddenly upon
the near witnesses that they were for a
moment paralyzed and no a~ttntion was
paid to Massey. who, after doing the
shooting, did not stop to see the result,
but turned and walked leisure]y away.
Realizing finally what he had done the
crowd which had gathered shouted, ''Stop
that man! He has shot a girl" Several
men started for him, but before he could
be overtaken he placed the revolver,
which he still held in his hand, to his
head and fired, the ball entering just
above and back of the right ear. With
out a word he fell over on a bank of
snow and expired in ten minutes. Will
ing hands took the girl tenderly in their
arms and carried her home. a short dis
lance away, where doctors made an ex-
animation. They found that all the shots
had taken effect. One passed through
the left wrist. the other two entered the
middle of the back a little to one side
of the spinal column near the eleventh
rib, fr~acturing the ninth rib. One of the
bullets lodged in the left lung and III
in the abdomen. Physicians do not have
much hope of her recovery.
The girl was employed in the shoe
factory. Massey, the perpetrator of the
crime, had up to within nine months
been employed at the same factory. He
paid her considerable attention and upon
several occasions called upon her at
home. He vas apparently desperately
in love with her and urged her to be-
come his wife. His love. however, was
not reciprocated, and the girl in every
way possible discouraged his attentions.
Some nine months ago Massey went to
Marlboro to work, but frequently came
to Quincy Saturday nights, remaining
until Monday morning. He made the
threat that if the Lafave girl did not
marry him she would not marry any
one else. US he would shoot her first,
which threat he put into execution to-
day.

ment. it being adopted practically as pro-
posed by Messrs. Goodman, Tombs, White

pronounce the one adopted a first-class doc

feeling it is more than probable that an
agreement will be adopted regulating the
amount Of commissions to be paid on trans
