DEMOCRATIC HARD TIMES.

What a carmen.hued burlesque IL is
10 call the times" Democratic hard
times Never was such calloused
misnomer uttered. Times have been
growing harder and harder for the
last twenty years, and under laws in
cubated by Republican platforms No
one will pretend 10 say that these
times are the result of chance, or are
the hap-hazard events in the history
of the country. There Is no effect
without cause. Neither are VIC in
the midst OF hard times without a
cause This cause is a wrong and per-
nicious system of taxation. and it has
now reached climax. That climax
has been reached while Democracy is
IN power without the change Of law
or the modification OF rule laid down
by Republican authority. 1t is ar.
dently hoped that change is taking
place for the better as new poli-y is
foreshadowed.
But the change must come very
slowly when it ioAs come. 1t was a

depths 70 which we have reached. 1t
will have to De slow and gradual as
cent as we reach the surface of the
plane Of prosperity and thrift
We are now suffering the twi, e
thrice advance in high
war tariff II is no wonder the masses
# the people are suffering untold bur
lens thus impo- I'd To enrich the few.
Then came the consistent and persist
cnt effort - enhance the value Of our
monetary system. and as those steps
were taken, as a counter. more prop
erty values were forced 10 recede, and
with this enforced recession the price
of labor correspondingly fell, and TO.
day we see the land filled with strikes
and marching armies OF unarmed,
honest but destitute men, victims Of a
false system of legislation both as re.
CARDS our tariff and our finances A
re tracing OF our steps in both these
| directions must come before better
/ times can be permanent and salutary
This is what the people want. This il
what is expected Of the Democrat,
party. Democracy is obliged to clear
from the decks of the ship OF state tn,
mass OF devilment which has takeI
the Repu blican party twenty years t'
heap and force upon an unwilling peo
pie. The Democratic party is IN
power by the force of circumstance
coming out Of the hard times whicl
have been gradually growing upor
the country. II must change the law
which have wrought this grevious dis
aster
Let wise counsel prevail, and th'
grand old ship of state can easily steu
the muddy tide of Republican misrul
and be landed safe and sound in tn
port Of Democratic prosperity.

1t is estimated that there arc 10000
books ofpoetry il the National Library
at Washington. The rules Of the
library require The keeping Of every
copyrighted book, so that the collcc-
ton must include an enormous amount
oftrash. The San Francisco Chronicle
believes it is safe to say that nine
tenths of this verse represents work
which no publisher would issue with
out advance payment OF cost, and
which is absolutely worthless. There
ought TO be some provision for weed
ing out this trash, which is not worth
shelf room.

II illustrates the need of Pacific
cable that the news of the two most
important events in the Hawaiian epl.
sOde passed between Washington and
Honolulu only after travelling back
ward round the globe some II, 900
miles in order to compass direct dis
lance of some 5000 miles. The news
of the decision of President Cleveland
to attempt the restoration OF the
Queen reached Hawaii first by steamer
from New Zealand, having travelled by
telegraph under the North Atlantic
and through the whole of Europe,
Asia, and Australia to reach the port
from which the steamer sailed. SINH
larly, the first news that the Provis-
lonal Government refused to accede TO
the Presidents demands reached
Washington by steamer from Homo
lulu to New Zealand, and thence by
telegraph back over the same round
about route. A cable $500 miles long,
from Honolulu to San Francisco,
would have saved q, 900 miles OF tele-
graphic and steamship travel, and
about two weeks Of time in each in

A widower's association has been
formed in Dresden, Germany. No man
can join unless his wife is dead, and if
ne marries again he becomes an hon
orary member merely. One Of the
chief purposes OF the association is to
help newly-made widowers by looking
after their wives funerals and caring
for their children.
