A MARKED DIFFERENCE.
The Principles of Democracy as Com
pared With Repub-
licanism

The following is a speech deliver
ed by Congressman Champ Clarke
in st. Louis, the other day, shows a
marked difference between the prin-
ciples advocated by the republican
and Democratic parties. 1t is
worthy of being read and pondered
by every voter in the country;
Alexander Hamilton was the
grandfather of the Rebulican par
ty, He was an aristocrat. He be-
lieved that a government of kings,
lords and commons was the best
devised by the wit of man,
Thomas Jefferson was the father
of Democracy. He was the great
believer He believed that all men
are created equal as to political
rights He helped to form gov
ernment based on the consent of
the governed.
The ideas which these great lead
ers impressed on political parties
while in their protoplastic stages
they will retain,
Democracy means government
by and for the masses,
Republicanism means paternalism
in government. Democracy means
that the government shall attend
stric is to its own business, per-
form only public functions and
keep its hands off those affairs
which is private in their nature,
such as commerce, trade and the
pursuit of happiness generally,
Republicanism has made 10000
multimillionaires and 1900, 600
tramps, Democracy gives every man
an equal chance in the race of life.
Continued Republican ascenden-
Icy means that free government
Shall end ia a central despotism at
Washing ton, Democracy means
that the blessings of liberty shall
descend unimpaired to our children
and our children's children TO the

JUST SIX.

A dispatch from London demon
strates the fact that the English
take no stock in the appointment
of committee to poke its nose in
to our affairs, and the Pail Mall
Gazette, in commenting upon the
matter makes out its opposition to
any such intrusion in the following
emphatic and sensible manner:
"Public opinion in America is
thoroughly capable of dealing with
it's own administrative abuses
without the interference of com
mittee of irresponsible English
busybodies.

DIXON KILLED.
DICK JOHNSON SHOOTS HIM
WITH A SHOT GUN.
Threatened With Death Himself He
Blows His Adversary's Brains
Out in Front of the Tele-
phone Saloon

A few minutes before six O'Clock
last afternoon, in front of the Tele.
phone saloon Dick Johnson shot,
and instantly killed Capt. c. E. Dix.
on. A shot gun loaded with buck
shot was used, and the entire
charge entered Dixon's head blow
ing part of his brains out. Stray
balls flew in different directions, one
of which struck Marshall Crenshaw
in the arm near the shoulder, an
other Mr.. ]. B. Shepherd in the leg,
both painful flesh wounds. Bullets
also landed in Ragland's book store
and Sharpe & Brewers gents furn-
ishing house.
Immediately after the shooting
Johnson gave himself up to Mar
shall Crenshaw, and was carried to
the Miller county iail.
The killing was not unexpected as
the two men had an alteration
shortly after noon, in which Dixon
grossly abused Johnson, having
drawn his pistol on him and applied
the most approbrious epithets upon
him, also told him he intended to
kill him by six o'clock, unless he
produced a letter before then.
Johnson told him said letter had
been destroyed, but Dixon told him
the letter had to come else he would
kill him. Johnson went home, and,
securing a shot gun, returned
about the hour named, passed
through the Telephone saloon by
the State Line entrance, and find
ing Dixon just outside the saloon on
Broad street fired upon him, with
out saying a word, with the result
heretofore stated,
Public opinion exhonorates John
sons bloody deed, as an act in self
defense, Johnson, though a gam
bier, Gn charge of the gambling
house over the Telephone saloon)
is looked upon as a quiet peacable
man. The coroner's jury will in all
likelihood acquit him of any crime
FOR the deed.
Capt. Dixon, at the time of his
death, had very few true friends, as
he was of a quarrelsome nature,
and was looked upon by everybody
as a dangerous, fighting character.
He constantly carried pistol, and
has been a continuous menace to the
peace and good order of the city,
He was a gambler, and had killed
more than one man; like most men
of his kind, "died with his boots
on" The wonder is that he was
not sooner killed by somebody. Few
will mourn his death.
Our youth and young men should
CLEAN a valuable lesson from his
misspent life and sudden, bloody
end. Little comment is needed to
point out the pitfalls of his unen-
viable career. Then avoid bad

TROPICAL HURRICANE.
The Wind Renders Much Damage to
the City of Pensacola.

NAAS NANJ Va N@ASNN~NNN'
PENSACOLA, FLA, October o.
The tropical hurricane that had
been central in the Gulf for sever
al days struck this city Sunday
night. The wind blew from the
Northwest, and was accompanied
by rain. The hurricane increased
in fury as morning approached, and
all day yesterday it ragged with ter
rible fury. Falling signs and roofs
made it dangerous to appear in the
streets, and business was practic
ally suspended. The average veloc-
| ity of the wind from Z a. M. to p.
M, was forty-eight miles per hour.
Between 2 and 3 p. m, it blew
steadily at the rate of sixty eight
miles per hour and several times
between II a. m. and 4 p. M, it
reached a velocity of eighty-tive
miles. At2 p. m. the barometer
fell to 1913, the lowest ever recorded
at this station. The center of the
hurricane was not a great distance
southeast of this city, but every
telegraph wire leading from the
city went down before II a. m, and
nothing could be heard from other
points. Owing to the wind blowing
off shore and the warning given by
the Weather Bureau the damage
to shipping was small.
The British bark Scammel Broth
ers, nearly loaded with timber,
dragged her anchors over four
miles across the bay and went
ashore in seventeen feet of water
at point opposite the life-saving
station. She will have to discharge
! part of her cargo. The Swedish
bark Antoinette, not loaded, drag
ged her anchor half way down the
bay, and was saved from capsizing
by cutting away her foremast. The
schooner Two Sons of New Orleans
had her masts cut away to keep
from capsizing. The fishing smack
Mary Potter dragged her anchors
from Town Point and went ashore
on Santa Rosa Island, east of the
life-saying station, where she lies
high and dry, The tide was so high
that it broke clear over Santa Rosa
Island and the life-saving crew were
in water up to their waists One
house was blown down at the sta
tion, the station was swept away
and the supply sloop swamped and
sunk. The track of the dummy
line from Big Bayou to the navy
yard is twisted all out of shape and
in some places is buried two feet
under sand.
In this city much damage was
done. Fences, trees and small out
houses were blown down in every
part of the city, A part of the
roof was blown off the opera house,
The entire roof of the large Blouut
g. Watson building on Potafox
street was carried away and all the
stores and offices in it flooded with
water.
A part of the roof of Cross & Nc
Clintock's macine shop was blown
into the bay. The Union Baptist
(colored) church was blown down

senator Ouay's Speech.

The city clocks chimed the hour of sixty
minutes past ten. Senator Quay heard the
fateful knell and arose.
It was hot day.
Through the open doors Of the Senate
chamber the music of the Ginning bells came
drifting with languorous sweetness. As the
soft cadences came in the people went out.
They knew their business. One old lady in
the gallery remained.
She was fast asleep.
By the side of the Senator was a pile of
proof slips and faithful, patient clerk
The clerk wore gray clothes and dark and
dainty moustache. 1t was his duty to deal
out the proof slips one by one-to fill the
Senator's hand, so to speak, from full deck.
1t was also incumbent upon him TO listen.
This was his hardest task.
A small, soft voice quivered on the calor-
ic-laden air.
The Senator was talking.
Nobody heard word he uttered. His was
the ghostly remnant of yoice-a vault-like,
far-away sound ike the echo of a policeman
telling his tale of love to sympathetic
housemaid under the area steps.
twas adroning sound, too, like the distant
buzzing of bees in an apple orchard in spring
time or the whirr of threshing engine on
the next farm, 1t recalled noon siestas I'M
der some shady oak in the pasture field, with
country school house near by and the
children studying aloud.
The Senator talked on and on.
Except for the coat which he wore all was
quiet. 1t was a gaudy, boisterOus, hilarious
thing-a brown and white plaid Norfolk
jacket, worn neglige fashion, and with the
belt rudely dismantled.
Despite the loudness of the coat, the old
lady slept on Washington Post.

ALesson From the Tforet.

The violet is a type of humanity. We,
too, wonder why We are here. We are so
small, so insignificant; we can do so little;
we are so slenderly gifted; we live such mar
row lives and have such meagre influence
that we are overwhelmed with disappoint-
ment. What does it mean aud what does it
all amount to? A thousand times we ask
the question and get no answer. If we had
conspicuous ability-could sing some song
that would be remembered or paint some
picture that would be hung 10 the gallerie
of the future, or do some deed that would
leave our name as 4 heritage-our lot would
be plainly desirable. Or il, with lower am
bition, we could affect the lives of those
within the circle of our acquaintance, make
them think and see more clearly, temper
their souls for nobler tasks. contribute to
their comfort and happiness in some essen
tiai way, we should feel that there was pur-
pose in our birth and an object in eur lives.
But to be simply commonplace-an odor-
less violet under maple in an obscure cor
merit gives us a sinking at the heart and
we grow weary and respondent
How many of us have passed through
this experience and reached the conclusion
that we are of no value How many of us
have thoughtfully summed up our lives and
painfully declared to ourselves that we count
for nothing,
But such sights are based on a mistake
We misinterpret God, and are therefore led
astray. We have plan of our own and
wonder why the Almighty does not make
His world to conform to it, Instead Of seek
ing his plan and persuading our wills to con-
form to that.-Nel0 York Herald.
