The revulsion against the democratic
ticket is pot confined to leading mem
bers of the party. 1t has wide basis,
and that the action Of the individual
boilers referred to is representative and
symptomatic, is shown by the repudit-
tion of the platform and ticket by de-
mocratic papers in different sections Of
the country. Party iuornals OF great
and deserved influence have rejected
the action of the Chicago assem- blsge
with emphasis, and some OF them have
advised their readers in vigorous terms
to vote for Mckinley. The list of bolt
ing party journals is growing. Their
influence must stand for something,

IT is not such a very long time
ago that the CITIZEN stated
just where it stood in the silver
question. With as great -four
ish of rhetorical grace as it could COM
mand, it swallowed its mess of crow,
end asserted its friendliness to silver.
1t now takes occasion to reiterate
every word it has said heretofore upon
the subject, and to say further that
there is not in this territory a more
steadfast friend OF the white metal.
For twenty-six years the CITIZEN has
iosted a republican banner; and so
firm is its belief in the principles OF
its party, that it will continue
to be found fighting In its
ranks. Not alone has it adhered
consistently to the party whose follow.
er it proposes to be, but it has always
been found upon the peoples side Of
every important question, be it county.
territorial or national. There are
questions or grave Importance In the
affairs Of this government, which are
outside the silver issue entirely; and
while the CITIZEN previously depiores
the circumstances which eliminated the
16 to l plahk in the st. Louis platform,
it candldly declares its undying faith
ia the party of its adoption, and
thoroughly believee, that through its
influence and management the country
will be returned to the days of former
prosperity. 1t has such confidence in
the sound judgment of the American
people that it does not fear to submit
all questions to their decision, and
should it find itself with the minority,
will submit, with as good grace as may
be, to the decision of the majority.

THE ventilated shoe is a recently pat
ented Invention, according to Chicago
paper. The shoe does not appear at all
different from ordinary footwear. 1t is
only on close examination that a set OF
tiny pipes is discovered inserted between
the inner and outer cole of the shoe.
Between the inner and outer cole is what
might be called a false sole. 1t is thin
piece of felt, and over it thesinner sole is
perforated by a number of small holes.
Directly under the ,instsp, where what
is known as the shank Of the shoe be-
gins, are two tiny pipes. which find an
outlet at the point where the heel joins
the leather. The air, passing in through
the pipes, clrculstes through the soft
felt between the soles of the shoe and
through the perforations in the inner
sole. This keeps the shoe cool and al
lows the natural heat OF the foot to es-
cape. 1t is claimed by the inventor that
these ventilated shoes are cooler in sum-
mer and warmer In winter than any orr
dinary shce made.

Railway Accidents.

The number of railway employees
killed during the year ending June 30,
1895, was 1872, and the number injur-
ed was 25,696. The figures compared
with those of the previous year show a
decrease OF II in number killed, and in
increase OF 2 ,274 in the number injured.
The number of passengers killed was
10, the number injured, 2,375. These
figures give for the year decrease of
l54 in the number killed, and $50 in the
number injured. The number of pas
ssngers. killed is remarkably small. The
smallest number killed in any of the
preceding seven years was 1S6 in 1890.
One employee was killed for each 433
employed, and one employee was in
jureu for each 81 employed. OF the
class OF employees known as tralnmsn,
that Is, engineers, f.emen, conductors,
and other employees whose service is
upon trains, it appears that one was
killed for each loo in service, and one
injured for each IL in service. The
number Of passengers carried for each
passenger killed during the year was
2, 9S4 ,S32, and the number carried for
each pssseger injured was 213,651. The
liability OF passengers to accidents is
better shown in the fact that II 500 743
passenger miles were accomplished for
every passenger killed, and 5,131 ,977
passenger miles for every passenger in
iured. A comparative statement shows
that considerable advance was made
during 1895 in respect to railway
casualties. 1t is suggested that bene-
ficial results were derived from the fit
ting Of equipment with automatic sp-
plisnces as we'll ss from the raising OF
the character OF railway service and
grade of railway equipment, first noted
in the last report.-From the report Of

Mr.. BRYAN is free-trader of the most
advanced and pronounced type. He
goes even to the length Of saying that
American products and manufactures
do not need encouragement or protec-
ton, snd that it is better to buy goods
in Europe if they can be bought there
cheaper than they can be made here.
Here, then, is free trade in its utmost
rankness. In view of such q fact, it
must be evident to the American work
man who wants to Jump his iob," or
rather who wants his job to Jump" him,
that all be has to do is to cast his vote
for Bryan.

THE full story which James E. Gar
ratt tells of his mprisonmenta at Ensena-
de shows the small care that the Mexi-
can government takes to insure justice
to the man who has no friends. Gar
rstt was only suspected Of completely
in the theft of valuable bar of gold
bullion; but he lay in dirty, vermin-
infested jail for sixteen months before
the authorities decided to release him.
In all this time he was given no regular
trial, nor was any attention paid to his
requests for release. AS CARAT is q
Mexican citizen he has no redress, but
he talks of carrying the matter to Presi-
dent Disz. The difficulty in Mexico, as
in China, is to secure efficiency and
justice in the different States. IL the
governor of State has strong political
and family influence, he is seldom inter-
fered with, no matter how autocrstic he
may be.

SHOULD RESIGN.

The only decent course now open 10
Hon. Hokus Pokus Smith, OF Georgia,
is to become Secretary of the Exterior
by resignlng his present place In Mr.
CIeveland'e Cabinet and thus relieving
the administration of q serious en-
barrassment. That he will adopt this
course is by no means certain. Smiths
political career shows him TO be un-
trammeled by either propriety or good
taste. His egotism is proof against all
charges of Inconsistency and ingratl-
tude. He is a standing reflection on
Georgia. He is a man who trims his
sails to every wind, but until he learns
that he cannot make two ports stimuli
taneously his reputation as a successful
sailor must be open TO serious question.
There is no reason why Smiths
standing should be higher, or his au-
dience more respectful in Georgia thar
Washington or elsewhere. He began
his career in politics as an advocate OF
coinage. He suddenly discovered the
fallscy of this theory when offered a
place in the Cabinet. So violent, IN
deed, was his convertion to soand
money that he neglected his otfiial du-
ties to preach the new doctrine, ana
endeayored to save the country by max
ing a canvass for the United States
Senstorship against ex-Speaker Crisp,
leader of the free silver element IN
Georgia.
In the crash that followed, Smith
was finally located at the bottom OF
the debris. The experience, and the
position of his State at the Chicago
convention, convinced him once more
of the error of his ways, so be revised
his sound money arguments by insert
ing the word silver wherever the word
gold occurred. That he should remain
free silver member OF sound mouey
administration probably impresses him
as a proof of exceptional versatility
rather than of cheap defiance OF per-
sonsl and political propriety.
After all, Smith may safely be left to
his own destruction, as a clown whose
performances must soon disgust even
those for whose benefit they are given.
There are many Smiths, but happily
there are few Hokes.

A preparation which is adapted to the
relief and cure of ailments to which

dence, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, q

IT took the Spaniards FIVE hours the
other day to capture a hospital and two
sick Insurgents. With this rate as a
basis of calculation, and taking into
consideration the fact that quite num-
ber of the insurgents are not at all sick,
it is more than probable that Gabriel,
with his little horn, will put the quietus
on the game before the Spaniards have
played their hand out.
