JOB w
Why Japan Wins.

The Japanese are patriotic people.
In the present struggle With China
they have voluntarily contributed $15,-
100000 to carry on the war. The
Bank of Mobiles has donated 81 .O00, 900
and loaned $15, 900. 900 more without
interest. Many noblemen and mer-
chants have given 800. 900 each, and
even the poorest citizens have contrib
uted small sums.
But the Chinese manifest no such
spirit. They are not willing to part
with their money or risk their lives.
The highest officials steal government
funds, and the soldiers try to skulk out
of every battle. In the naval fight OF
Yula seven Chinese Ships remained In
the rear and would take no part in the
battle. Captain Fong sailed away with
his ship before gun was fired. His
cowardly conduct caused him to lose
his head.
The people generally are Indifferent
to the final issue of the war. All they
care for is their own safety, and they
are perfectly willing to see their gov
ernment smashed and the empire di-
vided among other nations, provided
their personal and property rights suf-
fer no jury.
Unless there is a speedy change in
Chinese sentiment and character their
country will fall a prey to one or more
European powers. England, Russia or
France could seize and hold the entire
country and rule it as easily as England
rules India. Such a nation cannot
hope to hold its own against Japan.
The Chinese are their own worst ene-
mics. They are not fit to have a gov
ernment of their own.-Atlanta Con-

An Old Craze Breaks Out Again.

The Second Ad:entists are putting
in their work in the new state of Wash
ington.
Many people around Tacoma have
become convinced that the United
States will be destroyed by revolution
and fire inside of few days, and that
the entire world will be destroyed in
side of a year.
Two Adventists are organizing col
ony at Tacoma to fly to British Colum-
bia before the trouble comes. They
say that the United States will be de-
stroyed first, but that all who leave the
country will be temporarily saved.
Later all the people of the world will
be destroyed except $4,000 of each of
the twelve tribes of Israel. who will be
caught up in the clouds while the earth
is devastated, and will afterwards be
allowed to return and inhabit it.
The teachings of these cranks have
caused many families to destroy their
pictures, bric-a-brac and furniture and
other articles which they cannot carry
off in their flight. The craze is said 10
be widespread, and the people are very
much excited.
It is passing strange that people
should give themselves up to such delu-
sions in this enlightened age, but in ev-
cry generation prophets appear who
predict the speedy end of the world,
and they always find followers. Any
man with the gift of gab who is appar-
emily in earnest can exploit the most
absurd theory and find followers who
will take stock in it.

A Dose OF Their Own Medicle.

1t has not passed from the memory
of many of the readers of the Demo
crat that in 1865, the year of the close
of the war, the Republicans of Missou-
ri held delegate convention in St.
Louis of which the late Arnold Krekel
was president and Charles D. Drake
the leading spirit.
1t was known as ssthe Drake Conven-
tion" and its more important enact
ments as ''the Draconian Code"
1t declared purpose was to remodel
the Constitution of the State. This it
did most radically and supplemented the
work usually performed by similar
bodies by entering into a diabolical
partisan conspirancy against the lib
critics of the people.
1t not only remodeled the old Cor
stitution by upsetting it. but it concoc-
ted series of ironclad oaths for vo-
ters. ministers of the gospel, lawyers

uating the domination of the Republi-
can party in defiance of the popular
will; and to accomplish its thousands
and tens of thousands of taxpayers OF
the State were driven ignomiriously
from the ballot, ministers of the gos-
pei from the churches, lawyers from
the bar and telchers, male and female,
from the schools.
The Legislature which was elected
under it enacted statute by which a
partisan Governor appointed in every
county board of partisan registrars
who were authorized to select the vo-

Well. they kept up snatching off bil
here, and another a bit in another
place, until looked just like goose
that had been picked. At last I jerk
ed away from them and made rush
for out doors. AS did so, every last
gal made dive for me and got hold
of my hat brim, and tore the old brim
all off. except piece in front like the
frontpiece of cap. When got away
from the torments, I turned around
and told those gals would wear those
rags if met Queen Victoria, and l
would 60 and shake hands with her.
All this time they we're calling me
to come back, and put on some better
clothes.
Well, got away from them, and
when had got up at the foot of Pilot
Knob l killed uice deer and hung it
up, and then went on. I had not gone
far before l came across large flock
OF turkeys. l don't just remember
how many of them did kill; but as
many as could we'll pack on my back.
When I got home, the family had had
their supper. So l thought I would
carry Henry's gun home, and couple
of turkeys, and get my own gun.
When L had got out into the street,
about half way to his house, I saw
something coming towards me. 1 at
first thought it was cattle, but as it
came nearer saw it was folks. When
l came to them l saw it was Mr.. and
Mrs. Pierce, and lady with them.
When they met me they stopped to
shake hands, and introduce me to the
lady. And just walked up and took
her hand-and, oh my! 1t was just the
littlest, softest hand! Oh my, it fairly
stirred my gizzard! Well, they went
on to the house, and l took the gun
home and got my own.
When got back home, I slipped up
stairs to my room and slicked up to
the best of my ability. When 1 went
down, the women had gotten the sup
per ready and plate for me. As l
went in, one of my sisters said, ''My
brother Theodore. l noticed, as l
went in, the young lady looked up
quick as if she was expecting some one.
But when she saw young man clean
ed up saw she looked disappointed,
and noticed that every time the door
was opened she would look up quick.
And so it went on for most of the eve
ming. At last, some one of the COM
pany asked me about my hunt, and
then that girl looked at me for good
long look. She told me, years after
wards. all the first evening she kept
wondering why the hunter did not
come in. Said it was a long before
she could make it all come right. Not
until one day when when she was rid
ing out in the woods horseback, l was
hunting in the same woods. saw her
coming; 1 did not want her to see me
in my old hunting rags; so stepped
behind big tree that stood by me.
She would have passed by without
her having seen me, but that old horse
saw me as he passed by, and gave a
jump and would have thrown the girl
off had not i sprung and caught the
brldle with one hand and the girl on
my arm, and set her back on the horse
again. Well, well! 1t just made me
feel good all over. And did the old
mans words come true? Did I not
marry that girl, and did not she bear
me eight boys aud four girls, and did
not we live forty-odd years together?
And did we not see as much happiness
as commonly falls to the lot of men? l
think so. T. P. Il.

Special Correspondence OF Guzetto and Journal
BRGDGEvILLE, Oct. 2T.--Three Demo-
cratic rallies have been held in this im-
mediate vicinity during the last few
days.
Thursday afternoon u meeting was
held at Oakel, just cast of here in Nan
ticoke hundred, The large crowd pres
cnt was addressed by Robert q. White
and w. +. Causey,
Thursday evening, though tho weather
was disagreeable, a good crowd greeted
Colonel Il. il. Martin aud John G. GRAY,
who spoke for more than three hours TO
people at Atlanta postoilicc, west of
here, in this hundred. The crowd
showed great enthusiasm and fire..
quently gave vent to their feelings at
the mention Of the names of Tunnel or
Bancroft.
Yesterday afternoon the Democrats
took possession of Greenwood. The
Laurel Military Band, in their brand
new and beautiful wagon, were there
and furnished music. Hon. John r.
Nicholson was the first sneaker and
spoke for two hours. His speech was
a mastery production and was highly
appiauded. He touched upon national
and state issues in u very persuasive
way that held the attention of the vast
crowd.
John G. Gray followed, but his
speech, which was short, yet spicy
affair, had to be brought to Il close in
order that he might take tho train for
the rally at Milford that night.
The meeting broke up with three
rousing cheers for the whole ticket,

William Shaw. During tho short time
allotted to this meeting prayers were
heard from all over tho room, offering
up petitions to God for help in the
coming year and for more consecrated
effort on the part of every one to do the
Lords work. Often two or three were
heard praying at the same time. With
heads still bowed hymn was sung
and the Mizpah benediction repeated,
and thus ended the convention.

heard the other day In England at
dinner that il was most pleasant to
see, when the highest officers of the
British navy and the British admiralty
assembled TO do honor to Captain
Mahon and officers of the United States
ship Chicago, in the entertainment a re.
mark was made by Admiral Erben, in
speaking for the navy and OF the i'm.
portance of the admiralty, who said he
wanted word for poor Jack. "Now,"
said he, "the guns are good thing, but
l am thinking of the man behind the
guns"
Now, gentlemen, when | look AZ our
Legislative ticket, not only think of
the work they have TO do and the laws
they are TO make, but am thinking Of
the men who ought to make them. And,
therefore, we beg in our campaign with
perfect personal confidence in the candi-
dates we present.

ticket.
WHAT WE DESIRE.
We now lay down to you the general
trend of the measures that We desire:
No law tor taxation that is not for
public benefit; hands off and no CO.
partnership in the exercise Of its pre-
negatives; peace between our States;
Justice to all; restoration of our carry
ing trade; unshacklng our exports SO
that we may bring back the goods for
which we have exchanged our products;
our affairs conducted by men whose
honesty, whose integrity, whose patriot
ism Will never permit Il panic to be
brought to the country to shatter the
fortunes of men who dre afraid of what
may be done by their own government.
