THE DEMOCRATS.

The full returns from all over the
United States seems to illustrate that
Texas is about the only state the Demo
cratic party can lean on now with sure
and abiding confidence. Nevertheless
the Republican who is just now cavort-
ing around in the fullness of his Joy as
sorting that the Democratic party is
dead, viii probably get left in his calcu-
lations. Democracy has several times
heretofore been run over by the process
sion and tramped on, bruised and skin
ned up until its most intimate friends
couldn't recognize the battered wreck,
but its managers have smeared its
wounds with a little healing ointment,
took few stitches in the cuts here and
there on its person, and even when the
Republicans were secure in the belief
that they possessed the earth and the
fullness thereof, they were astonished to
see Democracy tearing down the track
with its head in the atmosphere and tail
over the dashboard.
The Democratic party may be about
W pass bAC DOQ1nC WuCI1C& 1O bTdNC1GI
returns, but we doubt it. 1t may be
permanently disabled, but we doubt
that also. If Democracy is dead it means
that it will be resurrected under some
other name, but what would be the OBJ
ject in that To the man along whose
spine grows the curling moss, what
name possesses the charm of the name
Democracy? There is no other name
under heaven whereby his liver can be
so profoundly stirred up. There is no
other banner that he will follow with the
same answering devotion You can
get up all the new-fangled political or
CARNATIONS you want to and by force OF
circumstances the mossback may train
with them for little while, but sooner
or later he turns to his old love even as
the Missourian turns from the razzle
dazzle of new-fangled cookery to his an
Gent diet of corn bread and butternilk.
Just now the form of Democracy is
battered, peeled and torn, walked over
and trampled IN the mire of public dis
approval by the outraged multitude. In

From the Kansas Breeze.

mo" said ex-senator Wilson OF Ellis
county as he rubbed big chunk of tai
low on his saw blade, 'I'm not candi-
date for anything"
Superintendent Peacock marched
right at the head of the republican pro-
cession in Wa-Keeney and displayed a
glittering eye in every tail feather.
One thing is certain. Nothing short
of cremation will silence a democrat.
You may kill him dead but still he'll
wiggle. We have before us letter from
Col. S. s. Reynolds, receiver of the u. S.
land office at Wa-Keeney, in which he
says: "But Democracy will live like the
eternal hills! Real Democracy is Truth
and will endure forever % AS we read
these sentences over we do not feel so
alfred sure about cremation.
True poetry belongs to one of two
classes. It either sobbingly pleads with
the tender emotions or rouses the slum-
bering passions like a trump from the
martial horn. We confess we are una
BILE to place the following uncanny thing
from the weird pen of Ewing Herbert,

Rep. roosters lay eggs in Kansas; ROSTERS they

BOOSTERS they lay eggs large as beer kegs;

THE DECADENCE OF PATRI-
OTTO SINGING.

In one of the leading churches of the
city, yesterday, the preacher, after dis
coursing eloquently on the danger of a
corrupt ballot and of apathetic voters,
gave out the hymn, America" and the
congregation rose and sang. The walls
of the meeting house should have rever-
berated with the patriotic song, but they
didn't; for withall the inspiration of a
patriotic sermon, the congregation sang
no better than the average American
crowd, and that, as everyone knows, is
wretchedly. An English audience would
have taken up the old tune to the words
of GOOD Save the Queen" and would
have assembled to glory with it. Even a
Canadian crowd, with merely provincial
patriotism, would sing it for dear life
and we'll But an American crowd. fred
with patriotism and full of inspiration
cannot, or will not, sing.
In the Auditorium, not long ago, at a
Sunday meeting of semi political nature,
the crowd actually broke down in sing
ing America )" no one could ''raise the
tune"-at least for a moment, in the
middle OF a stanza, no one did. Yet mu-
sic is taught in the public schools.
Children-even American children are
famous singers, but for some reason
grown up Americans forget the words
and neglect the air. AS a result of this
habit of silence one source of enthusiasm
is dying out. The power of song which
has been force for good in the world,
must not be left unutilized. Men and
women must not become so fearfully and
wonderfully made, and so given to in
trospection, analysis, logic and psyche
logical study that they will reject the
uplifting power of a brave old song.
Americans, especially should not become
blase; they should not be timid about
filling their lungs and shouting the
battle cry of freedom The meeting
house should be good place to learn
patriotic songs. Patriotism should be a
part of religion. There is no way to
produce patriotism SO easily as to sing
it up.-Star.

Teachers Meeting.

The first session of the Trego County
Teachers association was held at the
Office of the County Superintendent,
Saturday, November II, 1894
The following teachers were present !:
Bertha Morgan, Carrie Sweet, Prof. Opp,
Artie Hobbs, Carrie Stradal, Jessie F..
Taylor, Elise Neuenschwander, Mary
Shepherd, Rolla Clack. Smith, Kinney
Rich and Hudson Harlan.
Although the first meeting of the year
a creditable amount of interest was
shown, and every paper on the program
was read.
Mrs. Mary Hunt read a paper on
"Pupil's Rights" She claimed for pu-
pills the right to be taught truthfulness,
morality, accuracy, neatness.
Current Events Since Last Meeting, F."
by Carrie Sweet, was an interesting pa
per. The more important events were,
Coxey army, Pullman strike, forest fires,
deaths of noted persons, and results of
some of the recent elections.
The good points of the new text books
were presented by Jessie f. Taylor.
NEEDED Changes in School Legisla-
ton" was the title of paper by Rolla
Clack. The paper called out considera-
BILE discussion especially that part of it
asking for legislation against undue de-
velopment of the sentiment of loyalty
toward the symbol of American liberty,
the stars and stripes. It was feared by
Mr.. Clack that the flag floating over the
school houses of the state might develop
and misguide patriotism, which in after
years might render the pupils more sus-
ceptible to the controlling influence of
unprincipled politicians. Also that the
legislature should prohibit the use of the
Bible in the common schools. Also a
more nearly equal distribution of the
railroad tax used for school purposes
and state ownership of all school books
and other appliances used by pupils, and
an increase in the length of time for
which certificates are issued.
The class in civil government are re-
quested to prepare the first two chap
tiers of Fisk's Civil Government.

of the officers in our army and navy, is
report contained only the unvarnished
truth. He found that the Hawaiian re-
public was firmly established and well
able to maintain itself against the few
royalists who still cling to the idea of
restoration of throne by Mr.. Cleveland !;
also, that the sentiment Of the citizens
of Hawaii was overwhelmingly in favor
of political union with the United
States, and finding those things he dar-
ed to write them down in his report, al
though he knew very well that such a
report would not be favorably received.
It is not probable that republicans will
take any part in the fight that will be
made on the administration because of
the bond issue, further than to empha-
size the fact that the Democratic admin
istration has found itself by reason of
incapacity and unsound methods COM
PEELED to borrow $1OO,0OO,000 inside of
ten months. That fact viii of itself
speak sufficiently loud to the common
sense of the country without comment,
and it is upon the common sense OF the
country that the republican party relies
for futre power.
Very few republican senators and rep
resentatives have yet arrived in Wash
ington, and not many are expected I'M
til after Thanksgiving. Those who are
here are not doing much talking about

all appear to have adopted Mr.. Lincoln's
favorite maxim-don't cross the bridge

The populist organs are assuring
their deluded leaders that they have
gained decisive victory in the last
election. In Kansas they had six con-
gressmen, two senators, all of the state
officers, fifty-eight members of the house
in the state legislature and many county
officers. At the last election they lost
twenty-five members of the house, all
the state officers, five congressman, and
majority of the county officers. They
will also lose one senator as soon as an
election by the legislature can be had. A
few more successes of this kind ought to
convince the most skeptical that the
last populist success is a delusion and a
snare.

VS.. Fred Mckinley the court appointed
W. S. Roark and W. Il. Brown to rep
resent the defendant. A motion for a
change of venue to Trego county was
presented on the ground of the preju-
dice in the minds of the people, which
was granted by the court, and the de-
PENDANT was removed by the sheriff to
Trego county. 1t will be an easy mat
ter to obtain a jury in Trego county,
whereas it would be impossible perhaps
here, and the attempt to try the case in
this county would cost the county much
more money and more than likely result
in mistrial.-Sharon Springs Times.
