The Democracy Sold Out.

Confusion confounded! Such is the
condition in which the democratic
party is left by the inconsistent, dis
reputable and traitorous action which
a cowardly congress has taken upon the
question of tariff reform. The party
platform pledge has been shamelessly
ignored; the democratic congress has
proved itself unworthy Of the honored
name it bears. Principle has been
trampled under foot-a great party has
been sold out by it's recreant representa-
tives not for mess of pottage but for
pot of sugar. What justification is there
for free wool but protected coal, iron
and sugar? There is none, and not a
congressman will be so brazen-faced as
to attempt any. Such tariff reform as is
to be given the country is a colossal
burlesque on tie kind for which the
democracy has been earnestly and
hopefully laboring during every cam
paign for many years past; 1t is an
Insult to and an outrage upon the great
over the country from ocean to ocean
two years ago. capturing the presidency
and both houses Of congress and MAX
ing genuine tariff reform a Joyous
promise of the early future. No party
can long survive such violation Of
faith with the people as is the free
wool-protected-sugar mongrel which
cowardly congress has just passed. The
introduction of separate bills to correct
the outrage that has been perpetrated
is sham and a prete nse, but it will
nevertheless tend to solidfy all the
special interests threatened by those
measures into a solid body to wage an
aggressive fight upon democratic con-
gressional nominees next fall and thus
make more certain and overwhelming
the reyolutionizing of congress whose
session has been the most disgraceful
IN our modern political history and
which has invited the worst disaster to
the party that can possibly overtake it.

New North Rhinelander: No better
ticket was ever named by Wisconsin
Republicans than that which we to-day
raise to the top of this column. Maj
Upham has more personal friends here
who will be willing and anxious to aid
i'll his election than any man who was
mentioned for the high office. That he
did not receive the county's support
from the start was due simply to
complications in other matters which
had no reference to Upham. He is a
man of the people, popular with the
masses, and commanding the respect of
all. He will be elected by a grand

deal of money to look like any one as
great as Napoleon or as distinguished

the English queen, and from among

pass as her twin sister. Among the

relationship to the royal family, but
the place was given to a woman who
made no such pretension.

FLIRTING PROVES vULGARITY,
Highly Bred Women Are Not Guilty
of This Folly.

OF This Folly.
The flirting debate in a sober-mind-
ed contemporary has been amusing
rather than instructive. When the art
full old rascal in "Featherbrain" was
called to account after hanging punches
of red and white grapes on the same
vine upon an arid little estate which he
wanted 10 sell, he explained the phe-
nomenon as "all the fertility Of the
soil" So is flirting 'all a matter Of
temperament"
The ethics of filtration have yet to
be defined, but the results are tolerably
well proved. Now and then an arrant
fiirt may marry happily, but these cases
are exceptional. The man who is weak
minded enough to be seriously smitten
by the coquetries of a fiirt Is rarely
good material out of which to make
a husband. But most fiirts remain un-
married, or marry in despair some man
for whom they don't care an atom, be-
cause marrying men as a rule either
leave them severely alone, or take them
at their own value and consider a hirt
just good enough to fiirt with.
"a youth of folly, an old age of
cards." might be adopted as the fiirt's
motto, as it is her usual fate. That
flirting is foolish would probably check
scarcely any; that it may develop into
a tragedy il the fiirt is caught unaware
in a grande passion which is not re-
turned may possibly give pause to a
few; that it is essentially vulgar and the
hallmark of a vulgar mind may per.
haps induce the majority to discard the
practice If they have hitherto been in
clined to it, says the London Pictorial.
1t has been well said that flirting is an
education in fiippancy, lightness of man
ners and hardness of heart, and that as
practiced to-day it is not readily dis.
tinguished from general bad manners.
