THE PLUTOCRATIc PARTY.

Senntorshirs Sold by the Republicans t.
Corrupt Corporations.
John NJ. Thurston is to be sent to &C.
cupy a seat in the United States senate,
not because he represents the people
of Nebraska, for he does not, but be-
cause he is professional lobbyist who
has been of great service to corpora
lions interested in using the lawmak-
ing power of the people for their own
enrichment.
For exactly the same reason Stephen
II. Ellzins, who is another professional
lobbyist, is sent to the senate from
West Virginia, and the Pennsylvania
railroad has apparently been success
full in it's scheme for buying the New
Jersey senatorship for Lobbyist Sew
ell. If Gasman Addiclks is defeated
in Delaware it will be because OF the
Worlds exposures, and not because of
any objection from those who now con-
troll the republican party.
1t is true that the plutocratic influ-
cncc has attempted to control the SEN
ate through the democratic party, but
with democrats that has been the ex-
ception which has now become tho
1.ulc with republicans When tho
Standard Oil company sent Henry b.
Payne to the senate from Ohio the
democrats of the country rcpudiated
him and he served his term under con-
slant protest from the democratic
press. When Calvin S. Brice through
like agencies secures the succession to
Payne's purchased place it is only that
he may become more olious to demo
Gratis everywhere than if he called him
self q republican. But in the republican
party there is no longer any attempt to
resist the plutocratic influence Corrupt
corporations are openly purchasing
senatorships for their lobbyists, and
are too little regardful of the decencies
Of politics to keep up the thread:
bare but useful pretensc that their 20
ton is the action of the people
Having won a great victory because
of the protest of democrats against
plutocratic Influences in the democrat
ic party the republican politicians are
using their new lease of power to re-
move oil doubt that their triumph is
the victory of usurped privilege over
right, OF money over 1nanhood.-N. Y.

Some Things to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh Is
better than medicine. Learn how to tell
q story. A well-told story is as welcome
as q sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to
keep your own troubles to yourself.
The world is too busy to care for your
Ills and sorrows. Learn to stop crcal-
ing. If you cannot see any good in the
world keep the bad to yourself. Learn
to hide your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No ono cares to hear
whether you have the earache. head
ache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Tea rs
do well enough in novels, but they are
out Of place in real life. Learn to meet
your friends with Il smile. The good
hunored man or woman is always vel
come, but the dyspeptic or hypochon-
driac is not wanted anywhere. and is
o nuisance as weu.-Detroit Tribune.

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.


Party wss In Power.
In every state where democratic state
officers are superseded by republicans
the retiring administrations 60 out in
honor, leaving clean records and no
charges Of financial dishonesty behind
them.
In states like Illinois aud Indiana,
where democratic state officers are in
the middle Of their respective terms.
they have presented to the incoming
republican legislatures creditable ex-
hibits OF the conditions of state affairs.
It has been the policy of the repub-
Gcan press to calumniate and traduce,
without reason or measure, every DEM
ocratic administration and every DEM
ocrat in Office. They could produce no
charge Of misconduct nor of dishonesty
founded in truth.
by the might of falsehood, abuse and
Islander, every public officer not of their
partisan faith, distributing the spoils
TO them and their adherents. The
campaign Of accusation without proof
aad Of denunciation without cause has
heen monstrous in its injustice and in
d6eency.
There is not u report-of a defalcation
nor of any act Of Observation-Disclosures in
any state that elected democrats to of
flee in 1890 and 1892. The financial
affairs of the democratic states never
1ican rule.
The national administration, ma
ligned beyond oil precedent and all
rules of decency, has redeemed in
great part the pledges in the platform
OF 1892. The force act. the Mckinley
tariff act and the Sherman silver act
were repealed.
A new tariff was framed, far from
perfect in many Of its features, but
! vastly better than its predecessor. It's
inperfections were forced on congress
by 4 republican-populist mocratic-
Irotectionist combine more pernicious
than any coalition ever before formed
to perver. legislation in congress. The
panic, the currency Decentralization and
the indications OF gold famine como
from vicious and corrupt republican
silver and currency legislation which
began in 1898 to produce its disastrous
fruits.
These facts show that the democrat
ic party is not-as Reed and other par
tisans have charged-destitute OF ca
pacity to administer national and state
affairs with wisdom and success.
The democrats in congress have not
! been able to agree with the president
on satisfactory currency measure.
This is not so much evidence that they
lack wisdom for the purpose as that
the condition OF affairs, originating in
republican misnanageuaent,i is desper-
ate beyond ordinary means OF redemP.
ton. The disease, OF republican inceP-
! ton and growth, requires a remedy OF
, unprecedentedl power and efficacy. That
is the cause of democratic failure to
; provide q cure not democratic weak
| ness and incompetcncy.
! When the record shall be made up
for history, the verdict will be that the
: democratic party, while holding power
/ in the states and nation, exercised it
we'll in the interest of taxpayers for
the enactment of judicious laws and to
! conserve the financial interests OF the
country.-Chicago Herald.

Two men named Barker and Owens

mayor last week il there was Anything

told them OF course there was, but far.
