iendant a gun; he has q shotgun"

AN OUTRAGE.

The reporter has Al last had an op-
portunlty to notice some of the
methods. of conducting an examining
trial before q Paris commissioner.
Yesterday. during the proceedings in
the Watson case, several witnesses
were introduced to testify as to the
good character of the accused. On
cross examination. the court asked If
he was such o man as would likely
seek redress when wrong had been
done him. The witness replied that
he thought so. in a legal way. The
commissioner would not permit the
manner of redress to appear in the
record, aud when the defendants at
torney asked the question, "'Do you
think he is the kind of q man that
would seek redress by murder or by
hiring any one else to commit mur-
der Z" the commissioner stopped
him with the startling Information
that the question was irrelevant. and
must not be answered, as it would
only be the opinion of the witness.
1t appeared to the reporter that in
this action there were no quarters to
be shown, but that the court had its
decision stored away before any evi-
dencc had been taken.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

True dem cracy does not consist
in being a democrat because you
were bOrp in the south or any
other spot, nor because of the poll
tics of your parents. The ideal OF
the Independent fair minded JEFF
fersonian democracy is: "The
greatest good to the greatest num-
bcr." There is very little differ
ence in the ideal or cardinal planks
OF pla forms and principles of the
Republican and Dem ,cratic party.
Politicians at times have a hard
time to stir up malice and hatred
between the independent and con-
servative voters, who re the safe
guards of this and every other
country. This independent ele-
meut, which the democracy pre-
tends to despise and dubs as mug
wumps, etc., has ever been the
bulwarks Of the party. 1t grew
from democracy. It is this ele-
ment, the Independent. conserva.
tive element, that is cOurted bV

not sell themselves into bondage
g. any church or party. They
will not bind themselves to serve
contrary to their best cOnscien-
tious convictions of duty to their
country.
A German recently arrived in
Ardmore. He desired to learn
something of the politics of this
country. He went to London s.

Democracy. Desiring to familiar

tics he gees back and buys the

"Mine Got" exclaimed he, vat
