IT is grevious error for Democrats
to leave the party because of real or
fancied defects in the policy of the
party or on account of the failure of
party leaders to carry out the Demo-
cratic policy. 1t is better to remain
with the party and strive to remedy
defects, or put forth efforts to elect
men who will faithfully stand by the
party platform, than to fly into the
arms of q party that is antagonistic
to the very principles that the disaf-
fected claim are being ignored by
some OF the leaders of the Democrat
ic party. We are led to these re-
marks by Capt. Buck Kitchens re-
cent flop to the Popuiists. We heard
this gentlemen proclaim the principles
of Democracy at a period when it re-

and as firmly as he did, and we re-
greet to see him now furl the banner
which he once so bravely bore.

What is Wealth /?

Geo 7. .ngell in Our Dumb Animals
Does wealth consist in money
houses, lands, bank stocks, railroad
bonds, etc, alone?
We think not. The young man
starting ia life with no money but
with good digestion, good sleep,
good health, and with ability to
work in some profitable employment,
has what the aged capitalist would
be gla'l to exchanges all his millions
for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days or
the misconduct of dissipated chill
dren?
Which brings the greater happi-
nass-the glitter, show, jealousies
and fa!5ity of fashionable life, or the
heartfelt friendships which prevail so
largely III the homes of the industri-
GUS poor? In how many of the
palaces of our miIlionaiTes will YOU
find greater happiness in the parlor
than in the kitchen?
How many millionaires will tell
you that they are happier now than
when starting in life without u dol
lar?
On the tops Of mountains we find
rock, and ice, and snow. 1t is down
in the valleys that we ind the viue-
yards.
Let no man envy those richer than
himself until taking all things into
accOunt-age, health, wife, children,
friends-he is sure he would be willing
to exchange.

ART LEAGUE EXHIBIT.
WHO TEG PRIZES WERE AWARE
ED TO MONDAY.
Painted China, Embroidery
and, Lace Work.

The most important feature OF the
Winston-Salem Art League Exhibit
Monday was to see who had The
awards.
The rosette for the most rare and
beautiful old china was found on the
tea service OF Miss J. Brown. Tue ar
tistic designs and delicate coloriDg of
this service testified to the business Of
the award.
The drawn work Of Mrs Goodman
was decided to be the handsomest;
that was the work of the exhibitor.
Several other ladies had equally as
good specimens of this fine work, but
as it was not made by the exhibitors
it was decided to he proof CT thei:
good taste, but out Of order for
awards.
The oddly shaped and daintily painted
china Of Miss Lucas, was 50 much adj
mired that the rosette which marked
its being supreme in its line was re-
garded as u matter OF course, by these
who were fortunate enough TO sec
this thoroughly artistic work.
Mrs. J. L. Ware was given the
award for fine embroidery. Her work
lies en- table near the center of the
room and attracted much attention
by its Smoothness and finish.
The award for fine lace work was
found rs might be expected, on one OF

chiefs. Those who have been attend

Mrs. Allen c. Is in this department

The Pennsylvania Senators.

FROM the voice.
Matthew Stanley Quay's record is
well known. As State Treasurer OF
Pennsylvania, he looted the treas
ury; as the leading spirit in the Par
don Board, he secured the pardon OF
Kemble, the convicted briber and
corruptionist. His whole career is
one of personal debauchery and pub
lie dishonesty.
James Donald Cameron came into
the Senatorship by Inheritance from
his father, so to speak. By sharp
piece of tactics, the old man with
drew and had his son elected in his
place. He furnished the funds to
pull Quay out of the pit he digged
for himself as State Treasurer, saw
ing him from the penitentiary and
for his future career. Senator Cam
eron has been described by an emf
nent political ally in the Senate as
unable to make even simple motion
until he was told what to say and
had primed himself with a liberal
dose of liquor.
